Embodiment 1

[0063]

[0064] The wheelchair lift according to Embodiment 1 is a wheelchair lift provided in the rear of a small car.

[0065]The wheelchair lift 10 is a device capable of moving a wheelchair K with a passenger on it (hereinafter simply referred to as a wheelchair K) from the ground to the rear of a compartment of an automobile C and fixing the wheelchair K in the compartment, thereby Wheelchair K can be used as a seat. Such as figure 1 As shown, the wheelchair lift 10 includes a platform 20, a pair of left and right longitudinal sliding mechanisms 30, and a pair of left and right lifting / lowering linkage mechanisms 40. The wheelchair K is loaded on the platform 20, and the pair of left and right longitudinal sliding mechanisms 30 enable the platform 20 to move in the carriage. longitudinally slide between the retracted position inside and the protruding position outside the cabin, and the pair of left and right lift / down linkage mechanisms 40 enable the platform 20 to b...

Embodiment 2

[0092] In the following, refer to Figures 7 to 10 A wheelchair lift 70 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described.

[0093] In a general wheelchair lift, the lifting / lowering link mechanism 40 raises and lowers the platform 20 irrespective of whether the platform 20 is in a loaded state with a wheelchair K loaded thereon or an unloaded state with no wheelchair K loaded thereon. The speed (lifting / lowering speed) is basically constant. However, it is desirable for the caregiver's assistant operating the wheelchair lift to move the platform 20 up and down as quickly as possible when the wheelchair K is not loaded on the platform 20, thereby reducing the operating time of the wheelchair lift. In consideration of this, the wheelchair lift 70 according to the embodiment of the present invention has a wheelchair detection sensor 71 and a lifting / lowering link mechanism 40. The wheelchair detecting sensor 71 can detect whether the wheelchair K is loaded on...

Abstract

A lifter for a wheelchair, provides improved comport for an occupant of the wheelchair without an increase in costs. A lifter for a wheelchair is constructed so that the wheelchair can be placed and fixed to a predetermined position on a platform surface (22u), and the lifter is provided with a platform (20) received in the interior of a vehicle and also with moving mechanisms (30, 40) for moving the platform (20) between a received position in the vehicle interior and a getting on / off position on the ground. On the platform surface (22u) of the platform (20) is arranged a left and right pair of wheel support sections (50) on which left and right wheels (BK) of the wheelchair are respectively placed when the wheelchair is fixed. The left and right pair of wheel support sections (50) is constructed so as to be able to absorb vertical vibration of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wheelchair lift comprising a platform configured to accommodate a wheelchair thereon in a desired position and to secure the wheelchair to the platform, the platform being accommodated in a carriage, and a kinematic mechanism Enables movement of the platform between a retracted position inside the cabin and a wheelchair loaded / unloaded position on the ground. Background technique [0002] A technique related to a related conventional wheelchair lift is described in Patent Document 1. [0003] Such as Figure 11 As shown, the platform of the wheelchair lift includes an upper frame 102 having a platform surface 101 and a lower frame 104 disposed below the upper frame 102 parallel thereto. The upper frame 102 and the lower frame 104 are connected to each other by a link mechanism 106 so that the upper frame 102 can move vertically relative to the lower frame 104 . In addition, several elastic structural parts (not shown) are p...
