Wheelchair users are generally a group of people with physical disabilities, who usually have difficulties to move between bed and wheelchair independently. In most cases, they require others' assistance to complete this action. This product is a multifunctional folding wheelchair bed. Part of the bed is formed by a deformable wheelchair. The retraction and expansion of the wheelchair is fully powered by the battery mounted beneath the wheelchair. The entire deformation process can be easily completed by pressing a few bu-ttons. When patients want to move from bed to wheelchair, they only need to lie to one side of the bed, I .e., the side formed by the surface of the expanded wheelchair, and then press the on/off bu-tton. Driven by the electric motor, the wheelchair will fold up slowly until transform into the shape that can be normally used. Patients can thereby move from bed to the wheelchair without even stepping down onto the floor. Similarly, the reverse action that moves from wheelchair to bed can also be completed through automatic lifting and expansion. The wheelchair will connect with bed tightly, so that patients can easily move back to bed.
