Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] In this technical solution, an anti-vibration wheelchair controller includes a wheelchair controller body 1, a fixing mechanism 2 is installed at the lower end of the wheelchair controller body 1, and the wheelchair controller body 1 is installed on the armrest of the external wheelchair through the fixing mechanism 2.
[0022] The fixing mechanism 2 includes a base shell 21, straps 22, first Velcro straps 23, fixing plates 24 and shock-absorbing rubber pads 25. Fixing plates 24 are installed on both the left and right sides of the lower wall of the base shell 21. The cross-section of the fixing plates 24 is L-shaped. The external wheelchair armrests can be inserted between the two fixing plates 24. The wheelchair controller body 1 can be inserted into the base shell 21. Straps 22 are installed on the side walls of the two fixing plates 24. First Velcro straps 23 are installed on the other end of the two straps 22. The two first Velcro straps 23 can be attached to each other. The shock-absorbing rubber pads 25 are installed on the inner side wall of the base shell 21. The shock-absorbing rubber pads 25 can be attached to the outer side wall of the wheelchair controller body 1.
[0023] In this technical solution, the bottom shell 21 can provide a stable mounting cavity for the wheelchair controller body 1. The L-shaped fixing plate 24 is fixed to the wheelchair armrest through a snap-fit structure. The strap 22, together with the first Velcro 23, achieves a tight binding between the fixing plate and the armrest. The shock-absorbing rubber pad 25 is directly attached to the outer wall of the controller body, which can absorb the vibration energy transmitted to the bottom shell when bumps occur, and reduce the impact of vibration on the internal components of the wheelchair controller body 1.
[0024] The wheelchair controller body 1 described in this article is based on existing technology. When the user operates the input device, such as pushing a joystick, the input device generates a physical signal, which is then converted into an electrical signal. The microprocessor parses the instructions, the drive circuit amplifies the signal, controls the motor speed and direction, the encoder provides feedback on the operating status, and the microprocessor dynamically adjusts the settings to achieve precise and stable wheelchair movement.
[0025] In some technical solutions, a protruding ring 3 is installed on the inner side wall of the bottom shell 21, and a retaining ring 4 is installed on the outer side wall of the wheelchair controller body 1. The retaining ring 4 can be inserted into the bottom shell 21, and the protruding ring 3 can block the retaining ring 4.
[0026] In this technical solution, the convex ring 3 cooperates with the retaining ring 4 so that after the wheelchair controller body 1 is inserted into the bottom shell 21, the convex ring 3 blocks the retaining ring 4, effectively restricting the wheelchair controller body 1 from moving up and down in the bottom shell 21, and preventing the wheelchair controller body 1 from falling off.
[0027] In some technical solutions, the shock-absorbing rubber pad 25 includes a main pad 251, a secondary pad 252, a protruding post 253, a relief groove 254, and a balloon 255. The protruding post 253 is installed on the side wall of the main pad 251, and the relief groove 254 is opened on the side wall of the secondary pad 252. The protruding post 253 can be inserted into the relief groove 254. The balloon 255 is installed above the protruding post 253 and can fit against the inner wall of the relief groove 254.
[0028] In this technical solution, the shock-absorbing rubber pad 25 adopts a layered buffer design. When subjected to vibration, the protrusion 253 moves along the relief groove 254, and the balloon 255 absorbs vibration energy through compression deformation, which can efficiently attenuate the vibration impact force. Compared with a single rubber pad, the shock resistance is better and can better protect the internal circuit of the wheelchair controller body 1.
[0029] In some technical solutions, a through groove 5 is provided on the rear side wall of the bottom shell 21. The through groove 5 is connected to the inner cavity of the bottom shell 21. A rubber strip 6 is installed on the inner side wall of the through groove 5. A groove 7 is provided on the side wall of the rubber strip 6. The groove 7 can be inserted into the inner wall of the through groove 5.
[0030] In this technical solution, the through groove 5 is designed to facilitate the routing of the wiring of the wheelchair controller body 1. The rubber strip 6 is engaged with the inner wall of the through groove 5 through the groove body 7. The flexible wrapping of the rubber strip 6 can prevent the wiring from rubbing and wearing against the edge of the through groove 5.
[0031] In some technical solutions, a second Velcro strap 8 is installed on the outer side of the end of the strap 22, and the second Velcro strap 8 can be fastened to the upper wall of the wheelchair controller body 1.
[0032] In this technical solution, the second Velcro 8, as an extension of the strap 22, can make the two first Velcro 23 at the ends of the strap 22 fit more tightly after being tied to the upper wall of the wheelchair controller body 1, preventing them from loosening. At the same time, it can also form a longitudinal pressing fixation on the wheelchair controller body 1, further enhancing the installation stability of the device.
[0033] In some technical solutions, an anti-slip pad 9 is fitted to the inner wall of the fixing plate 24, and the anti-slip pad 9 is fitted to the external wheelchair armrest.
[0034] In this technical solution, the anti-slip mat 9 is made of a high-friction coefficient elastic material. After it is attached to the wheelchair armrest, it can significantly increase the static friction between the fixing plate 24 and the armrest, ensuring the stability of the installation position of this device.
[0035] Working principle: When installing this device, first fix the fixing mechanism 2 to the wheelchair armrest. Then, the bottom shell 21 is fastened to the wheelchair armrest by the fixing plates 24 on both sides. Then, the fixing mechanism 2 is fixed by the straps 22 on the fixing plates 24 and the first Velcro 23 on the straps 22. The two first Velcro 23 are attached to each other. Then, the wheelchair controller body 1 can be placed into the bottom shell 21. After insertion, the convex ring 3 and the retaining ring 4 cooperate to block the retaining ring 4 after the wheelchair controller body 1 is inserted into the bottom shell 21, effectively restricting the wheelchair controller body 1 from moving up and down in the bottom shell 21 and preventing the wheelchair controller body 1 from falling off. Then, the second Velcro 8 is used as an extension of the straps 22 and tied to the upper wall of the wheelchair controller body 1 to further enhance the installation stability of this device.
[0036] When the wheelchair encounters vibration, the protrusions 253 of the shock-absorbing rubber pad 25 are displaced in the relief groove 254, the balloon 255 is compressed and deformed to absorb the vibration energy, and the relative movement of the main pad 251 and the auxiliary pad 252 further buffers the impact force, ensuring that the wheelchair controller body 1 can still operate stably in a vibration environment, while protecting the internal components from damage.
