A lifting groove is provided inside the fixed seat 3, and a lifting block 4 is slidably installed inside the lifting groove. The lifting block 4 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy with an anodized surface. A pad 5 is fixedly installed on top of the lifting block 4. The pad 5 has an aluminum alloy frame, is covered with 50mm thick high-density memory foam, and is covered with waterproof and wear-resistant nylon cloth. Armrests 6 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the pad 5. A backrest 7 is rotatably installed on the top of the pad 5. A push handle 8 is fixedly installed on the left side of the backrest 7. A foot pedal 9 is rotatably installed at the front of the fixed seat 3. The foot pedal 9 is made of PA66+30% glass fiber reinforced engineering plastic, and its surface has anti-slip texture. It also includes: A folding mechanism, located at the top of the cushion 5, is used to fold the backrest 7. A lifting mechanism is located on the top of the base 1 and is used to lift the pad 5. A rotating concealed handle mechanism is located at the top of base 1.

[0019] In this embodiment, the folding mechanism includes a rotating shaft 13 rotatably mounted inside the pad 5, a worm gear 12 mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 13, and a worm 11 rotatably mounted inside the pad 5.

[0020] In this embodiment, the worm gear 11 and the worm wheel 12 mesh with each other, and a crank handle 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the worm gear 11.

[0021] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a screw 21 rotatably mounted inside the fixed base 3. The screw 21 is made of 40Cr with a nitrided surface and has a trapezoidal thread Tr30×6, which is wear-resistant and has a strong load-bearing capacity. The screw 21 is externally threaded to a connecting block 22, which is made of QT450-10 ductile iron with high strength and good machinability. The bottom side of the connecting block 22 is fixedly connected to the top side of the lifting block 4, and the outside of the connecting block 22 is slidably connected to the lifting groove. A first sprocket 20 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the screw 21. A worm gear 15 is rotatably mounted inside the fixed base 3. A rotating block 14 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the worm gear 15. The worm gear 15 is located at the front end of the connecting block 22.

[0022] In this embodiment, the second worm gear 15 meshes with the second worm wheel 16, and a rotating rod 17 is fixedly installed on the top of the second worm wheel 16. The outside of the rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed base 3. A second sprocket 18 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 17, and a chain 19 meshes with the first sprocket 20.

[0023] When the height of the wheelchair needs to be adjusted, the user can rotate the rotating block 14. The rotating block 14 drives the worm gear 15 to rotate. Since the worm gear 15 meshes with the worm wheel 16, the worm wheel 16 will rotate accordingly, which in turn drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 17 causes the second sprocket 18 fixed on it to rotate. The second sprocket 18 drives the first sprocket 20 to rotate through the chain 19. The first sprocket 20 then drives the screw 21 to rotate. When the screw 21 rotates, the connecting block 22, which is threaded to its external side, will move up and down along the screw 21. Because the bottom side of the connecting block 22 is fixedly connected to the top side of the lifting block 4, and the outside of the connecting block 22 is slidably connected to the lifting groove, the up and down movement of the connecting block 22 will drive the lifting block 4 to move up and down in the lifting groove, thereby realizing the adjustment of the wheelchair height. This lifting mechanism is reasonably designed, compact in structure, and easy to operate, and can meet the needs of different users for wheelchair height.

[0024] In this embodiment, the rotary hidden handle mechanism includes an arc-shaped groove located at the center of the rotating block 14. A rotating rod 30 is rotatably mounted inside the arc-shaped groove, and a hidden crank 23 and a first bevel gear 29 are fixedly mounted outside the rotating rod 30. The hidden crank 23 can rotate around the rotating rod 30. When the crank is needed to operate the relevant mechanism, the hidden crank 23 can be rotated out from the arc-shaped groove for easy gripping and operation by the user. When the crank is not needed, it can be rotated back into the arc-shaped groove for hiding. This not only makes the overall appearance of the wheelchair more concise and beautiful, but also avoids the crank from colliding and interfering with other objects during the movement of the wheelchair. At the same time, the first bevel gear 29 cooperates with subsequent related gear structures to realize the transmission and conversion of power to complete the operation of other functions of the wheelchair.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first bevel gear 29 meshes with the second bevel gear 28, and a rotating shaft 27 is fixedly installed on the second bevel gear 28. The outside of the rotating shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating block 14. A worm gear 3 26 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 27. The worm gear 3 26 meshes with the worm 3 25. After the hidden crank handle 23 is fully rotated into the arc groove 32, it is flush with the outer surface of the rotating block 14.

[0026] In this embodiment, the worm gear 25 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating block 14, and a rotating handle 24 is fixedly installed on the outside of the worm gear 25.

[0027] In this invention, during use, the four universal wheels 2 at the bottom of the base 1 enable flexible steering and movement of the wheelchair; the push handle 8 on the left side of the backrest 7 assists others in pushing it; the foot pedal 9, rotatably mounted at the front of the fixed seat 3, can be adjusted in angle according to usage needs to improve riding comfort; when the backrest 7 needs to be folded, the crank handle 10 is turned, causing the worm gear 11 to rotate. Since the worm gear 11 drives the worm wheel 12 to rotate, the worm wheel 12 drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate. The rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the backrest 7, and the backrest 7 is rotatably mounted on the top of the cushion 5. Therefore, the rotation of the rotating shaft 13 will cause the backrest 7 to complete the folding action around the rotation point of the cushion 5. The worm gear-worm wheel mechanism has a self-locking function, which allows the backrest to... 7. Stably fixed at any folding angle to prevent accidental rotation during use; when the cushion 5 needs to be raised or lowered, the rotary hidden handle mechanism rotates out the hidden crank 23, rotating the hidden crank 23 drives the rotating block 14 to rotate, the rotating block 14 drives the second worm gear 15 to rotate, the second worm gear 15 drives the second worm wheel 16 to rotate, the second worm wheel 16 drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate, the rotating rod 17 drives the second sprocket 18 to rotate, which drives the first sprocket 20 to rotate through the chain 19, the first sprocket 20 drives the first screw 21 to rotate, the first screw 21 drives the connecting block 22 to move upward, the connecting block 22 will simultaneously drive the lifting block 4 to move upward, and thus drive the cushion 5 and the backrest 7 to move upward. When it is necessary to lower the cushion 5... When adjusting the height, reverse the hidden crank 23. Following the reverse transmission sequence, screw 21 rotates in the opposite direction, causing connecting block 22 to move downwards. Connecting block 22 then moves lifting block 4 downwards, thereby causing the seat 5 and backrest 7 to move downwards. This allows for flexible height adjustment of the wheelchair, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios and users. It ensures user comfort and safety when adjusting the height. Whether in a relatively narrow indoor space or in a complex and varied outdoor terrain, the wheelchair height can be quickly and accurately adjusted to the appropriate position according to actual needs, greatly improving the practicality and applicability of the wheelchair and bringing more convenience to the user's travel and life. When it is necessary to adjust the height... When the hidden crank handle 23 is hidden, it is stored in the arc-shaped groove inside the rotating block 14 by default, keeping the wheelchair's appearance simple and avoiding accidental activation. Rotating the handle 24 drives the worm gear 25 to rotate. The worm gear 25 drives the worm wheel 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 26 and the rotating shaft 27 to rotate. The second bevel gear 28 on the rotating shaft 27 drives the first bevel gear 29 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 30 to rotate in the arc-shaped groove, thus turning the hidden crank handle 23 out of the arc-shaped groove. After the hidden crank handle 23 is turned out, rotating it will drive the rotating block 14 to rotate, thereby triggering the lifting mechanism. After use, the hidden crank handle 23 can be reset and stored in the arc-shaped groove by reversing the operation of the handle 24. Example

[0028] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that an anti-slip thread is provided on the outside of the hidden crank 23. The anti-slip thread design allows the user to obtain better friction when turning the hidden crank 23. Even when the hands are sweaty or slippery, the user can operate it easily and stably, effectively avoiding operational errors caused by slipping hands. This further improves the convenience and safety of the wheelchair height adjustment process, allowing the user to control the raising and lowering of the wheelchair more freely and better adapt to various usage scenarios and needs.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
