The specific embodiment
As Fig. 1, Figure 1A and shown in Figure 2, totally comprise underframe 12 and seat assembly 14 by 10 indicated wheelchairs.Seat assembly comprises seat 16, seat back 18 and optionally rides 20.Underframe 12 comprises chassis 22, drive wheel 24 and castor 26.Totally being comprised by 30 indicated drive wheel swing arms utilizes bolt or any other suitable fastening device to be fixed to gear case 32 on the swing arm 30.Be installed on the gear case is drive motor 34.Drive wheel 24 is installed on the gear case 32.Swing arm 30 can make drive wheel 24 with respect to chassis 22 upper and lower moving, to pivot at pivotal point 36 places.Selectively, wheelchair is provided with the detouchable protector, for example front fender 28A, drive wheel guar plate 28B, siding track protector 28C.
Anti-turning wheel assembly 40 is installed on the swing arm 30 in the mode of stretching out forward.As further extremely shown in Figure 5 at Fig. 3, prevent that turning wheel assembly 40 comprises outer tube or back to pipe 42, described back is configured to pipe or forward direction pipe 44 in the telescopically reception to managing 42.Anti-turning wheel 46 is installed on interior pipe 44 end forward.Outer tube 42 and interior pipe 44 can be made by Any shape or material.Preferably, they are made by aluminium tube.Be received in the back to the forward direction pipe 44 of pipe in 42 although shown anti-turning wheel assembly has by telescopically, the situation of being appreciated that can be opposite, promptly should prevent the turning wheel assembly have be used to receive after to the forward direction pipe of pipe.
Outer tube 42 and interior pipe 44 can be made by following size and dimension: short of bevelled or amesiality or vertical component put on the pipe, and then interior pipe 44 will slide like a cork in outer tube 42 the insides., if having amesiality slightly or in vertically component is applied on the pipe 44, then in pipe 44 can not slide like a cork in outer tube 42 the insides.The linearity of pipe 44 or any power axial force will produce amesiality or vertically divide force phenomenon in the longitudinal axis 48 towards anti-turning wheel assembly is applied to, and pipe 44 is not easy to like a cork or can not manages outside at all slips in 42 in therefore making.By the amesiality of pipe 44 in being applied to or vertically the size of the resistance that slides of the prevention that produced of component can be depending on relative scale between longitudinal force and the component amesiality or vertically power.The big I of resistance also depends on the friction coefficient of the outside face of the friction coefficient of outer tube 42 inside faces and interior pipe 44.
Stop motion mechnism, for example slit 50 and stop pin 51 can be used for limiting the relative position of outer tube 42 and interior pipe 44.In being connected in, shown pin manages on 44, although this pin also can be installed on the outer tube 42.When interior pipe 44 slided in outer tube 42, pin 51 can move on the length of slit 50.Being used for limiter tube 42 all can adopt with any device that the relative position of managing 44 reaches particular range.Anti-turning wheel assembly 40 can comprise tail-bracket 52 and middle carriage 54, is connected on the swing arm 30 will prevent turning wheel assembly 40.More specifically, outer tube 42 is connected on the swing arm 30.As shown in Figure 5, spring 56 is positioned at the inside of pipe 44 and outer tube 42.Spring 56 is connected on the pin 51 or is connected on the interior pipe 44.The rear end of spring 56 is connected on the rear end of outer tube 42.
In operating process, when back-wheel drive wheelchair 10 ran into obstacle, for example curb was managed 44 in anti-turning wheel 46 will make with collision that curb produces and is regained in outer tube 42, and opposite with the application force of spring 56.Be under the situation about turning forward at wheelchair 10, swing arm 30 will be swung with respect to wheelchair chassis 22, and the axis 48 of anti-turning wheel assembly 40 forms acute angle with ground.When managing on 44 in non-axial force is applied to, pipe slides in the outer tube 42 backward in then stoping.In smooth ground-surface driven process, interior pipe 44 is stretched fully owing to spring pressure.Anti-turning wheel 46 is positioned at the place ahead of drive wheel 24, stops suddenly and when turning forward, anti-turning wheel 46 contacts and prevent the wheelchair overturning with ground with convenient wheelchair.Therefore, anti-turning wheel assembly 40 can play the effect of anti-turning-up devices effectively, avoids or suppresses wheelchair overturning forward at least.
In another aspect of this invention, wheelchair is provided with and utilizes the oscillating type installation system to be connected to wheelchair lamp and turning indicator system on the wheelchair 10.As Fig. 6, Figure 11, Figure 13 and shown in Figure 14, lamp system 110 comprises the carriage assembly 114 that can be swung away from.Carriage 116 is fixed in the part of other hope of seat frame or wheelchair 110.Adjustable bracket 118 is connected on the analog bracket 116.Install receiving element 120 have match with connecting element 124 on adjustable bracket 118 be connected and fixed part 122.Hub 128 is positioned at the inside of receiving element 120 with one heart.Swing light cover 133 is installed on the top of hub 128 and receiving element 120.The swing light cover has the oscillating type lamp bracket 130 that is used to keep head lamp 132 and turnicator 134.The lamp that can connect any kind.
As shown in figure 10, hub 128 has camb contour 136 in its lower end.Hub 128 utilizes spring 140, nut 142 and screw 144 that it is engaged with installation receiving element 120.Receiving element 120 is installed is also had camb contour.Hub 128 and receiving element 120 utilize screw 144 and jam nut 142 to keep together becomes an assembly.Spring 140 is subjected to compression to a certain degree all the time.As shown in Figure 7, this structure allow oscillating type lamp bracket 130 remain on the perpendicular center position of adjustable bracket 118 on.As shown in Figure 8, if the lamp assembly is subjected to the collision in the place ahead, then oscillating type lamp bracket 130 rotations, and hub 128 rises along with its camb contour simultaneously.Compression spring 140 is gone back in this rotation, produces to make oscillating type lamp bracket 130 get back to the resistance of center position.In case obstacle disappears, then the compression of spring 140 impels oscillating type lamp bracket 130 to be returned to middle or center position place.Produce opposite phenomenon when as shown in Figure 9, being subjected to rear collision.As shown in figure 12, receiving element 120 is installed is had dovetail webge slot 150, and it is connected with dovetail form piece 152 on the carriage connecting element 124 of carriage 118.Be understandable that, can adopt any connecting device.
Operating principle of the present invention and mode are described in its preferred embodiment.But it should be noted that do not departing from the scope of the present invention under the situation, except mode, also can otherwise implement the present invention according to for example concrete and description.
