    [0016] A reducing through-hole 551 is arranged at top of the groove 55 of the accommodating seat 54, so that the top of the pin 56 penetrates the reducing through-hole 551 to form the pulling portion 59; rings 70 are arranged on the pulling portion 59; then, the rings 70 at left and right sides of the pin 56 of the wheel body 13 of wheelchair body 10 are linked by a connector 71 (strip, rope, chain, rod) for simultaneous motion.

    [0017] Based upon above-specified structural design, the present invention is operated as follows:

    One function of the integrated control seat 20 is that, it allows to be assembled onto the wheelchairs of different diameters via the design of adjustable clamp 25. Referring to FIG. 4, the rotary knob 631 of the packing locator 63 could be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the screw bolt 632 and tapped hole 64 of the rotating cylinder 65 for relative screwing motion; the rotating cylinder 65 will shift forwards and backwards on the screw bolt 632, thus driving the external plywood 252 to generate swinging behavior, and leading to varied clearance of the clamping port 26 formed between internal and external plywood 251, 252 of the adjustable clamp 25; based on the adjustable design of the clamping port 26 of the adjustable clamp 25 , the integrated control seat 20 could be assembled onto the handle 11 of different diameters, meanwhile the adjustable clamp 25 could be fastened securely with the use of packing locator 63.

    The second function of the integrated control seat 20 is to change the swinging angle of the integrated control seat 20 via the design of the swinging portion 63, so as to adjust the spacing between the acceleration lever 22 and handle 11 for manual operation; referring to FIG. 4, the rotary knob 282 of the control member 28 could be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to control the positioning or adjustment state of the integrated control seat 20; when the rotary knob 282 is loosened, the internal wall 242 of the protruding seat 241 and the internal plywood 251 of the adjustable clamp 25 will become loosened, so the swinging angle of the integrated control seat 20 can be adjusted; conversely, when the rotary knob 282 is tightened, the internal wall 242 of the protruding seat 241 and the internal plywood 251 of the adjustable clamp 25 will become tightened for positioning the integrated control seat 20.



    [0018] Additionally, based on the adjustable swinging characteristics, the integrated control seat 20 can be applied to wheelchair handles of different shapes. Referring to FIG. 4, the adjustable clamp 25 of the integrated control seat 20 is adapted onto the cross-bar section of the handle 11; referring also to FIG. 5, the adjustable clamp 25 of the integrated control seat 20 is adapted onto the curved section of the handle 11B.

    [0019] Referring to FIG. 6, the assembly frame 40 is provided with adjustment member 42 that can define the protruding length of two assembly ends 41 in line with the extended width of the wheelchair body 10;

    [0020] Referring to FIG. 7, when the assembly end 41 of the assembly frame 40 enters transversely into the lateral guide inlet 52 of the connecting slot 51, the assembly end 41 will slide along the single-sided oblique guide surface 581, so that the retaining portion 58 will push upwards the elastic member 57 and make it accumulate elastic force under the transverse force applied by the assembly end 41; as such, the assembly end 41 can smoothly slide into the connecting slot 51; when the assembly end 41 passes through the retaining portion 58, the elastic member 57 will release the elastic force, then the retaining portion 58 will slide down and protrude from the groove 55; the assembly end 41 is just positioned between the internal retaining wall 53 and retaining portion 58.
    Referring to FIG. 8, the pulling portion 59 is fitted with a ring 70; and the rings 70 at left and right sides of the pin 56 of the wheel body 13 are linked by a connector 71 (strip, rope, chain, rod) for simultaneous motion. When it is intended to be disengaged from the assembly end 41 at both ends of the assembly frame 40, the connector 71 could be pulled so that the pulling portion 59 at top of the pin 56 can protrude simultaneously from the reducing through-hole 551, allowing the retaining portion 58 to recess into the groove 55 and then disengage the assembly end 41 of the assembly frame 40.
