Abstract

A left-right foldable wheelchair, comprising side frames (10), wheel assemblies, a seat assembly (30), and a locking mechanism. Each of the side frames (10) comprises a bottom support rod (11), a seat support rod (12), a rear vertical rod (13), and a front connecting rod (14). The seat assembly (30) comprises first to fourth rods extending along a left-right direction. The first rod (31), the second rod (32), the third rod (33), the fourth rod (34), and the seat support rods (12) on both sides form a first six-rod connection mechanism. The seat assembly (30) further comprises a first connecting rod (35) and a second connecting rod (36) which are arranged in an X-shaped cross configuration. A front end portion of the first connecting rod (35) is rotatably connected to a middle portion of the first rod (31), a rear end portion of the first connecting rod (35) is rotatably connected to a middle portion of the fourth rod (34), a front end portion of the second connecting rod (36) is rotatably connected to a middle portion of the second rod (32), and a rear end portion of the second connecting rod (36) is rotatably connected to a middle portion of the third rod (33). When the locking mechanism is unlocked, the side frames (10) on both sides can be moved closer to each other along the left-right direction, causing the first and second connecting rods to drive the first six-rod connection mechanism to actuate, thereby achieving left-right folding. The structure is novel and occupies minimal space after folding.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art.

[0034] The front-back, top-bottom, left-right directions described in the present invention are the front-back, top-bottom, left-right directions observed by the user when riding.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the left-right foldable wheelchair provided by the present invention includes two side supports 10 provided on the left and right sides, a wheel assembly connected to the bottom of the side supports 10, a seat assembly 30 provided between the two side supports 10, and a locking mechanism for locking the foldable wheelchair in the unfolded state. The side supports 10 include a bottom support rod 11 extending in the horizontal direction, a seat support rod 12 provided parallel to and above the bottom support rod 11, and a rear upright rod connected to the rear ends of the bottom support rod 11 and the seat support rod 12 and extending in the vertical direction. Rod 13, and the front connecting rod 14 connecting the bottom support rod 11 and the front end of the seat support rod 12, the wheel assembly includes a front wheel assembly 21 connected to the bottom of the front connecting rod 14 and a rear wheel assembly 22 connected to the bottom of the rear upright rod 13; the seat assembly 30 includes a first rod 31, a second rod 32, a third rod 33 and a fourth rod 34 extending in the left and right directions, the first rod 31 and the second rod 32 are located in the same vertical plane and have the same length, the third rod 33 and the fourth rod 34 are located in the same vertical plane and have the same length, the left end of the first rod 31 is connected to the left side bracket The front end of the seat stay 12 of the right side bracket 10 is rotatably connected, the right end of the first rod 31 is rotatably connected to the left end of the second rod 32, the right end of the second rod 32 is rotatably connected to the front end of the seat stay 12 of the right side bracket 10, the left end of the third rod 33 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the seat stay 12 of the left side bracket 10, the right end of the third rod 33 is rotatably connected to the left end of the fourth rod 34, and the right end of the fourth rod 34 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the seat stay 12 of the right side bracket 10, so that the first rod 31 and the second rod 31 are rotatably connected. The rod 32, the third rod 33, the fourth rod 34 and the seat stays 12 on both sides constitute a first six-link mechanism; the seat assembly 30 also includes a first link 35 and a second link 36 that are X-shaped (the projection in the vertical direction is X-shaped), the front end of the first link 35 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first rod 31, the rear end of the first link 35 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fourth rod 34, the front end of the second link 36 is rotatably connected to the middle of the second rod 32, and the rear end of the second link 36 is rotatably connected to the middle of the third rod 33.
