On the contrary, when the folding wheelchair is in the unfolding process, the backrest bracket is abutted with the first limiting part through the first limiting mechanism, and the backrest bracket and the first limiting part are linked.
By means of the arrangement, when the folding wheelchair provided by the embodiment of the application is folded and unfolded, the armrests and the backrest bracket can be linked, and the armrests do not need to be folded or unfolded in advance, so that the folding and unfolding processes are simplified, and the user experience is improved.
In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more comprehensible, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the folding wheelchair provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a front support frame 10, a backrest support 20, armrests 70, front wheels 11, rear wheels 31, a rear support frame 30, support links 40, a seat support 60, a seat link 50 and pedals 80, wherein the front support frame 10, the backrest support 20, the rear support frame 30 and the support links 40 are hinged together to form a foldable and deformable first link mechanism.
The front support frame 10, the backrest support 20, the seat support 60 and the seat connecting rod 50 are hinged together to form a second connecting rod mechanism which can be folded and deformed, and the second connecting rod mechanism is linked with the first connecting rod mechanism so as to realize the follow-up folding or unfolding of the seat support 60 in the whole folding wheelchair unfolding or folding process.
Specifically, the front support frame 10 is used for mounting a front wheel 11, also referred to as a front wheel bracket, and a pedal 80 is also mounted at the front end of the front support frame 10 to provide foot support for a user. The rear support bracket 30 is used for mounting a rear wheel 31, also referred to as a rear wheel bracket. The backrest bracket 20 comprises a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, the first mounting portion is used for mounting a backrest cushion of the folding wheelchair, the second mounting portion is used for being connected with the front support frame 10, the seat bracket 60 and the rear support frame 30, one end of the front support frame 10 far away from the front wheel 11, one end of the rear support frame 30 far away from the rear wheel 31 can be respectively and rotatably connected to the second mounting portion of the backrest bracket 20, and the backrest bracket 20 can be rotated relatively.
A support connecting rod 40 is arranged between the rear support frame 30 and the front support frame 10, and two ends of the support connecting rod 40 are respectively hinged with the rear support frame 30 and the front support frame 10, namely, the front support frame 10, the backrest support 20, the rear support frame 30 and the support connecting rod 40 are mutually connected in a rotating way to form a rotating shaft point a, b, c, d so as to form a first connecting rod mechanism capable of being folded and deformed, so that the front support frame 10, the rear support frame 30 and the backrest support 20 of the folding wheelchair are folded. When the folding wheelchair is in an unfolding state, the backrest bracket 20 and the rear support bracket 30 are in limit support with each other, so that a stable triangle structure with rotating shaft points a, c and d is formed.
The seat connecting rod 50 is used for connecting the seat support 60 and the front support frame 10, wherein one end of the seat connecting rod 50 is hinged with the seat support 60, and the other end of the seat connecting rod 50 is hinged with the front support frame 10, namely, the front support frame 10, the seat connecting rod 50, the seat support 60 and the backrest support 20 are mutually hinged and form a rotating shaft point e, f, g, a, so as to form a foldable and deformable second connecting rod mechanism, and realize follow-up folding of the seat support 60 in the folding and unfolding processes of the folding wheelchair.
The folding wheelchair provided by the embodiment of the application further comprises armrests 70 arranged at two sides of the backrest bracket 20, and the armrests 70 can rotate relative to the backrest bracket 20. For example, the armrest 70 may be rotatably coupled to the back bracket 20, or the armrest 70 may be rotatably coupled to the front support bracket 10 and the front support bracket 10 may be rotatably coupled to the back bracket 20. The armrests 70 may be lifted upward by a user to facilitate a user's seating while the wheelchair is folded up and down, and the armrests 70 may provide support for the user to enhance the use experience while the user is seated in the wheelchair.
Further, the armrest 70 is provided with a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are both located on an inner side surface of the armrest 70 facing the backrest bracket 20, the backrest bracket 20 is provided with a first limiting structure, the first limiting structure can be abutted with the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion, it should be noted that the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion can be limiting protrusions or other limiting members formed on the armrest 70 respectively, and the first limiting structure at least comprises one limiting protrusion formed on the backrest bracket 20.
Illustratively, the back rest bracket 20 may be provided with one or two limit projections. For example, the armrest 70 is provided with two spacing protrusions, the backrest bracket 20 is provided with one spacing protrusion, and the spacing protrusion on the backrest bracket 20 may be located between the two spacing protrusions of the armrest and on a rotational path formed by the two spacing protrusions of the armrest 70.
Or the armrest 70 is provided with two spacing protrusions arranged at intervals, the backrest bracket 20 is also provided with two spacing protrusions, the spacing protrusions on the backrest bracket 20 are not positioned on a rotating path formed by the two spacing protrusions of the armrest, and only the spacing protrusions on the armrest 70 are matched with the spacing protrusions on the backrest bracket 20, so that the armrest 70 can be linked with the backrest bracket 20 in the folding and unfolding processes of the folding wheelchair.
Referring to fig. 9 to 12, when the back support 20 is rotated counterclockwise to fold the folding wheelchair, that is, in the process of converting the unfolded state of the folding wheelchair from fig. 9 to the folded state of fig. 12, the first limiting structure of the back support 20 (the first limiting structure includes a limiting protrusion in the embodiment shown in this drawing) is gradually separated from the first limiting portion, as shown in fig. 10. When the backrest bracket 20 rotates to a certain angle, the first limiting structure can abut against the second limiting part and drive the armrest 70 to rotate together, that is, during the folding process of the folding wheelchair, the armrest 70 can be linked with the backrest bracket 20, as shown in fig. 11.
The front support frame 10 is provided with a second limiting structure 12, and the second limiting structure 12 is configured such that it can abut against the second limiting portion when the folding wheelchair is in a folded state. When the first limiting structure of the backrest bracket 20 abuts against the second limiting structure, the backrest bracket 20 continues to rotate anticlockwise, so that the second limiting structure is limited between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure 12, thereby limiting the armrest 70 and preventing the armrest 70 from shaking, so as to improve the stability of the folding wheelchair in a folded state, as shown in fig. 12.
On the contrary, when the folding wheelchair is unfolded, the first limiting structure can be abutted with the first limiting part and drive the armrest 70 to link.
Specifically, when the folding wheelchair is unfolded, that is, a process of the folding wheelchair transitioning from the folded state shown in fig. 12 to the unfolded state shown in fig. 9. The first previous support frame 10 and the backrest support frame 20 rotate reversely (rotate clockwise), and the second limiting structure 12 of the front support frame 10 is gradually far away from the first limiting structure of the backrest support frame 20, and in this process, due to the action of the gravity or the assembly damping of the armrest 70, the armrest 70 does not rotate clockwise against the gravity, and at this time, the second limiting part of the armrest 70 keeps fitting with the second limiting structure 12 of the front support frame 10.
Along with the rotation of the backrest support 20 continued clockwise, the first limiting structure can be abutted with the first limiting part, so that linkage between the armrest 70 and the backrest support 20 is realized, the armrest 70 is driven to rotate clockwise, and when the backrest support 20 rotates in place, the backrest support 20 and the rear support 30 are in limiting support with each other, so that a stable triangular structure with rotating shaft points a, c and d is formed.
At the same time, the armrest 70 is also unfolded in place, and the first limiting portion is held in abutment with the first limiting structure, so that the armrest 70 can be prevented from rotating counterclockwise, that is, the armrest 70 is prevented from being folded by an external force, thereby improving the supporting reliability of the armrest 70. It should be noted that, the armrest 70 may continue to rotate clockwise, so that the armrest 70 may be folded upwards, which is convenient for a user to lift the armrest 70 upwards when folding the wheelchair up and down.
Compared with the related technical scheme that the armrests 70 cannot participate in linkage in the folding and unfolding processes of the folding wheelchair, and the armrests 70 need to be folded in advance, so that the folding process is complex, the folding wheelchair provided by the embodiment of the application has the advantages that the armrests 70 and the backrest support 20 can be linked, and the armrests 70 do not need to be folded or unfolded in advance, so that the folding process is simplified, and the user experience is improved.
Furthermore, when the folding wheelchair is in a folded state, the second limiting portion can be limited between the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure 12, so that the armrest 70 is limited between the backrest bracket 20 and the front support frame 10, shaking of the armrest 70 can be avoided, and stability of the folding wheelchair in a folded state is improved.
As shown in fig. 6, on the basis of the above embodiment, the armrest 70 may be provided with a first limiting protrusion 73 and a second limiting protrusion 74 at intervals, where the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74 may protrude from a portion of the armrest 70 facing the backrest bracket 20 toward the backrest bracket 20 to form a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion, that is, the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74 and the armrest 70 are in an integral structure. Further, the second limit protrusion 74 can abut with the first limit structure when the folding wheelchair is in the folded state, and the first limit protrusion 73 can abut with the first limit structure when the folding wheelchair is in the unfolded state.
The armrest 70 and the front support frame 10 in the embodiment of the present application can rotate relative to the backrest frame 20, and according to the rotational connection scheme between the three, the structure of the first limit structure of the backrest frame 20 and the matching scheme of the first limit structure and the first limit protrusion 73 and the second limit protrusion 74 of the armrest 70 can be described.
In one embodiment, the armrest 70 and the front support frame 10 are coaxially rotatably connected to the backrest frame 20, for example, the armrest 70 and the front support frame 10 are rotatably connected together on a rotation axis and rotatably connected to the backrest frame 20 via the rotation axis, that is, the rotation axis of the armrest 70, the rotation axis of the front support frame 10 and the rotation axis of the backrest frame 20 are all on the same line.
On the basis that the armrest 70 and the front support frame 10 are connected to the backrest bracket 20 in a co-rotation manner, the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74 in the armrest 70 according to the embodiment of the present application may be circumferentially and alternately arranged along the rotation axis of the armrest 70. For example, the armrest 70 is provided with a rotation shaft hole, and is coupled to the rotation shaft through the rotation shaft hole, and the first and second stopper protrusions 73 and 74 may be spaced around the circumference of the rotation shaft hole.
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the first limiting structure in the embodiment of the present application includes a third limiting protrusion 22, and the third limiting protrusion 22 is disposed between the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74 and is located on a rotation path formed by the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74. When the folding wheelchair is folded, the backrest bracket 20 rotates anticlockwise, the third limiting protrusion 22 can be abutted with the second limiting protrusion 74 so as to enable the armrest 70 to be linked with the backrest bracket 20, whereas when the folding wheelchair is unfolded, the third limiting protrusion 22 can be abutted with the first limiting protrusion 73 so as to enable the armrest 70 to be linked with the backrest bracket 20.
Further, when the folding wheelchair is in a folded state, the third limiting protrusion 22 abuts against one side of the second limiting protrusion 74, and the other side of the second limiting protrusion 74 abuts against the second limiting structure 12. For example, the second limiting structure 12 may be a limiting surface of the front support frame 10 disposed toward the backrest frame 20, and the limiting surface is configured such that when the folding wheelchair is in the folded state, the limiting surface of the front support frame 10 abuts against the second limiting protrusion 74, so that the armrest 70 is limited between the front support frame 10 and the backrest frame 20.
Illustratively, the armrest 70 may be generally L-shaped in configuration and include a carrying handle 71 and a mounting handle 72, wherein the carrying handle 71 is adapted to provide support to a user and the mounting handle 72 is adapted to rotatably couple the armrest 70 to the back support 20, the armrest 70 having a rotational axis located at an end of the mounting handle 72 remote from the carrying handle 71.
The position of the installation handle 72 close to the rotating shaft hole is provided with a first limiting block and a second limiting block respectively, the first limiting block and the second limiting block are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft hole and form a first limiting protrusion 73 and a second limiting protrusion 74, namely the installation handle 72 is provided with a first limiting block and a second limiting block respectively close to the rotating joint to form the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74 respectively.
It should be noted that the first and second stoppers may be manufactured separately from the armrest 70, and the first and second stoppers are connected to the mounting handle 72 of the armrest 70 to form the first and second limiting protrusions 73 and 74. Of course, the first stopper and the second stopper may be formed integrally with the armrest 70, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and preferably the first stopper and the second stopper may be mounted to the mounting handle 72 of the armrest 70, respectively.
Correspondingly, a third limiting block is arranged on the backrest bracket 20 near the rotating connection position, and a third limiting protrusion 22 is formed. When the armrest 70 is rotatably connected to the backrest bracket 20, the third stopper is located between the first stopper and the second stopper, and the third stopper has a stopper surface respectively matched with the first stopper and the second stopper.
When the armrest 70 and the front support frame 10 are rotatably connected to the backrest frame 20, and the rotation axes of the armrest and the front support frame are collinear, the folding and unfolding process of the folding wheelchair is described as follows:
When the folding wheelchair is folded, that is, the folding wheelchair is switched from the unfolded state shown in fig. 9 to the folded state shown in fig. 12. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the backrest bracket 20 is rotated counterclockwise, the front support bracket 10 follows the movement, the third stopper of the backrest bracket 20 is gradually separated from the first stopper, the armrest 70 is in a free state at this time, if the assembly damping of the armrest 70 is small, the armrest 70 can be rotated counterclockwise by gravity, and if the assembly damping of the armrest 70 is large, the front support bracket 10 is followed to move together.
As shown in fig. 11, when the backrest bracket 20 is rotated to a certain angle, the third limiting block of the backrest bracket 20 can abut against the second limiting block and drive the armrest 70 to rotate together, that is, the armrest 70 can be linked with the backrest bracket 20 in the folding process of the folding wheelchair. As shown in fig. 12, when the folding wheelchair is in a folded state, one side of the second limiting block abuts against the third limiting block, and the other side of the second limiting block abuts against the limiting surface of the front support frame 10, so as to limit the armrest 70 between the front support frame 10 and the backrest support 20, thereby completing the limiting of the armrest 70 and preventing the armrest 70 from shaking, so as to improve the stability of the folding wheelchair in a folded state.
Conversely, when the folding wheelchair is unfolded, the folding wheelchair is switched from the unfolded state shown in fig. 12 to the folded state shown in fig. 9. Firstly, after the backrest bracket 20 rotates clockwise by a certain angle, the front support frame 10 rotates clockwise along with the backrest bracket 20, and the limiting surface of the front support frame 10 is gradually far away from the third limiting block of the backrest bracket 20, in the process, as the armrest 70 has a counter-clockwise rotating acting force under the action of gravity or assembly damping, the armrest 70 cannot rotate clockwise against the gravity, and at the moment, the second limiting block of the armrest 70 keeps attached to the limiting surface of the front support frame 10.
Along with the clockwise continuous rotation of the backrest bracket 20, the third limiting block of the backrest bracket 20 can be abutted with the first limiting block, so that linkage of the armrest 70 and the backrest bracket 20 is realized, the armrest 70 is driven to rotate clockwise, when the backrest bracket 20 rotates in place, the armrest 70 is unfolded in place, the first limiting block is abutted with the third limiting block, the armrest 70 can be prevented from rotating anticlockwise, namely, the armrest 70 is prevented from being folded due to external force, and therefore the supporting reliability of the armrest 70 is improved.
In another embodiment, the armrest 70 is rotatably coupled to the front support bracket 10 and defines a first axis of rotation, the front support bracket 10 is rotatably coupled to the back support bracket 20 and defines a second axis of rotation, and the second axis of rotation is non-collinear with the first axis of rotation.
As shown in fig. 13, the front support frame 10 is fixedly provided with a rotation shaft block 13, the armrest 70 is provided with a first rotation shaft hole 75 matched with the rotation shaft block 13, the first rotation shaft hole 75 is positioned on the mounting handle 72 of the armrest 70, the armrest 70 is sleeved on the rotation shaft block 13 through the first rotation shaft hole 75 and locked through a locking spacer 76, and the armrest 70 is prevented from falling off from the rotation shaft block 13, so that the armrest 70 is rotatably connected to the front support frame 10.
The rotation shaft block 13 is provided with an eccentric second rotation shaft hole 131, the backrest bracket 20 is provided with a rotation shaft 25 matched with the second rotation shaft hole 131, and the front support frame 10 is sleeved on the rotation shaft 25 through the second rotation shaft hole 131, so that the front support frame 10 rotates relative to the backrest bracket 20. The range of the eccentricity between the rotation shaft 25 and the rotation shaft block 13 may be greater than 0mm and 20mm or less, and the shaft diameter of the rotation shaft block 13 is greater than the shaft diameter of the rotation shaft 25 in order to avoid interference between the rotation shaft 25 and the rotation shaft block 13.
In this embodiment, the first limiting structure includes a fourth limiting protrusion 23 and a fifth limiting protrusion 24 that are disposed at intervals, and the fourth limiting protrusion 23 and the fifth limiting protrusion 24 can abut against the first limiting protrusion 73 and the second limiting protrusion 74 of the armrest 70 when the folding wheelchair is in a folded and unfolded state.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 14, the fourth limit projection 23 is configured such that the fourth limit projection 23 abuts against the first limit projection 73 when the folding wheelchair is in the unfolded state, and the fifth limit projection 24 is configured such that the fifth limit projection 24 abuts against the second limit projection 74 when the folding wheelchair is in the folded state, as shown in fig. 16. And, when the folding wheelchair is in the folding process, the fifth limit projection 24 can abut with the second limit projection 74 to cause the armrest 70 to be interlocked with the back support 20 as shown in fig. 15, or when the folding wheelchair is in the unfolding state, the fourth limit projection 23 can abut with the first limit projection 73 to cause the armrest 70 to be interlocked with the back support 20 as shown in fig. 17.
Further, since the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are not collinear, a relative sliding occurs between the stopper of the back support 20 and the stopper of the armrest 70 during the linkage of the back support 20 and the armrest 70. In order to avoid the jamming phenomenon during the linkage process of the backrest bracket 20 and the armrest 70, the fourth limiting protrusion 23 or the first limiting protrusion 73 are provided with rounded structures facing each other, so that the two may slide relatively when they are in the abutting state. Correspondingly, the fifth limiting projection 24 or the second limiting projection 74 are provided with arc-shaped surfaces facing each other so as to enable the fifth limiting projection or the second limiting projection to relatively slide when in an abutting state.
For example, the fourth limiting protrusion 23 may be a fourth limiting block disposed on the backrest bracket 20, where the fourth limiting block is used for abutting against the first limiting block, and the fourth limiting block and the first limiting block respectively have a plurality of limiting surfaces, and an edge is disposed between adjacent limiting surfaces. The edge of the fourth limiting block, which faces the first limiting block, is provided with a round corner structure, so that the fourth limiting block is abutted with the first limiting block and slides relatively. For example, in the unfolding process of the folding wheelchair, the edge of the lower edge of the fourth limiting block contacts with the limiting surface of the first limiting block, and makes the edge slide along the limiting surface of the first limiting block until the limiting surface where the edge is located is attached to the limiting surface of the first limiting block, so that the linkage between the armrest 70 and the backrest bracket 20 is realized.
Likewise, the fifth limiting protrusion 24 may be a cylinder disposed on the backrest bracket 20, and the cylinder is used for abutting against the second limiting block. The second limiting block comprises a plurality of limiting surfaces, the adjacent limiting surfaces are provided with edges, and when the cylinder is in butt joint with the limiting surface of the second limiting block, line contact is formed between the two limiting surfaces, so that the fifth limiting block can be in butt joint with the second limiting block and can slide relatively. For example, during the folding process, as the backrest bracket 20 rotates counterclockwise, the cylinder starts to contact with the second limiting block, and the backrest bracket 20 continues to rotate, the cylinder slides on the limiting surface of the second limiting block, until the armrest 70 is in the folded state, the cylinder still keeps abutting with the second limiting block, and can make the second limiting block abut with the limiting surface of the front support frame 10.
It should be noted that, in the scheme that the rotation axes formed by the armrest 70, the front support frame 10 and the backrest frame 20 are not collinear, the unfolding and folding process of the folding wheelchair is similar to the coaxial connection scheme of the armrest 70, the front support frame 10 and the backrest frame 20, and will not be repeated here.
As shown in fig. 18, 20 and 21, and referring to fig. 5, in the folding wheelchair provided by the embodiment of the present application, the backrest support 20 and the rear support 30 have locking structures, and when the folding wheelchair is in an unfolded state, the backrest support 20 and the rear support 30 are limited and supported by the locking structures, so as to form a stable triangle structure with rotation axis points a, c and d.
Specifically, the locking structure is formed between the backrest bracket 20 and the rear support bracket 30, and the locking structure includes a first locking surface 21 and a second locking surface 32, wherein a recess is formed at a position of the backrest bracket 20 close to the rear support bracket 30 to form the first locking surface 21, i.e. a surface forming the recess forms the first locking surface 21. The rear support bracket 30 has a projection at an end thereof adjacent to the back bracket 20, the projection being disposed in engagement with the recess, the projection having a second locking surface 32 in engagement with the first locking surface 21. In the unfolding process of the folding wheelchair, when the backrest bracket 20 rotates in place, the protrusion can be embedded into the recess, and the first locking surface 21 and the second locking surface 32 are abutted and attached, so that the limit support of the backrest bracket 20 and the rear support bracket 30 is completed, and the backrest bracket 20 and the rear support bracket 30 are prevented from rotating around the rotation shaft point b in opposite directions.
As shown in fig. 18 to 21, in order to improve stability of the unfolded state of the folding wheelchair, the folding wheelchair provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a latch hook mechanism 90, the latch hook mechanism 90 includes a link lever 91 and at least one latch hook 92, the link lever 91 penetrates under the seat support 60, and the latch hook 92 is fixed to an end portion of the link lever 91, and the latch hook 92 is rotatably connected to the backrest support 20.
The rear supporting frame 30 is provided with a fixing pin 33 matched with the locking hook 92, the locking hook 92 is provided with a limiting groove 922 matched with the fixing pin 33, the limiting groove 922 can be clamped with the fixing pin 33, a torsion spring 93 is further arranged between the rear supporting frame 30 and the locking hook 92, and the torsion spring 93 is used for providing locking force for the locking hook 92 so as to enable the locking hook 92 to be kept on the backrest bracket 20.
When the folding wheelchair is unfolded in place, the back of the lock hook 92 is firstly contacted with the fixed pin 33, and under the thrust action of the rear support frame 30, the lock hook 92 can rotate clockwise against the locking force of the torsion spring 93, so that the fixed pin 33 can be clamped into the limit groove 922, at the moment, the lock hook 92 rotates anticlockwise under the action of the torsion spring 93 and resets, the bottom of the lock hook 92 is abutted with the limit bulge of the backrest support 20, so that the rotatable lock hook 92 is realized, the limit groove 922 is clamped with the fixed pin 33, further, the restraint on the backrest support 20 and the rear support frame 30 is realized, and the backrest support 20 and the rear support frame 30 are prevented from being separated from each other around the axial point b. Meanwhile, the back support and the rear support frame 30 are limited and supported through the locking structure, so that the back support frame 20 and the rear support frame 30 are prevented from rotating around the shaft point b in opposite directions, the back support frame 20 and the rear support frame 30 are completely restrained, and the first connecting rod mechanism group forms a stable trilateral structure with the shaft points a, c and d.
Illustratively, the latch hook mechanism 90 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a first latch hook and a second latch hook, where the first latch hook and the second latch hook are symmetrically disposed at two ends of the linkage rod 91, and the first latch hook and the second latch hook are symmetrical members, and the specific structure of the first latch hook is described by taking the first latch hook as an example.
The first latch hook includes a wrench 921 for applying pressure to the first latch hook to make it rotate relative to the back bracket 20 against the torsion force of the torsion spring 93. For example, the pressing wrench 921 is pressed down, and the first latch hook is rotated clockwise, so that the first latch hook is separated from the fixing pin 33, thereby releasing the restriction between the rear support frame 30 and the back support frame 20 to fold the folding wheelchair.
The position that back support 20 is close to first latch hook is provided with the location arch, and the location arch can with the bottom butt of spanner 921, and torsional spring 93 provides outside holding power for first latch hook to make first latch hook have anticlockwise rotation, when the bottom and the location arch butt of spanner 921, first latch hook rotation is put in place this moment, and the spacing groove 922 and the fixed pin 33 joint of first latch hook, in order to accomplish the locking to back support 20 and rear wheel 31 support.
It should be noted that, the first latch hook and the second latch hook can rotate synchronously, when the user operates the wrench 921 of any latch hook 92, the locking and unlocking of the backrest bracket 20 and the rear support bracket 30 can be completed, so that the user experience can be improved.
