[0029] The control system includes an angle sensor 27, a controller 26, a distance sensor 28, and an operating handle 29. In this embodiment, the controller is a PLC and an angle sensor. The operating handle 29 is provided on the chair frame body 1, and the PLC and The angle sensor 27 is located at the lower part of the seat of the chair frame body 1, and the distance sensor 28 is located at the lower front part of the chair frame body 1. The signal input terminals of the PLC are respectively connected with the angle sensor 27, the distance sensor 28 and the operating handle 29. The signal output terminals are respectively connected to the main motor 22, the linear motor 9, the electromagnetic sensor 24 and the screw motor 12; the battery is respectively connected to the angle sensor 27, the distance sensor 28, the electromagnetic sensor, the operating handle 29, the main motor 22, and the linear motor 9 and the screw motor 12 are connected.
[0030] In this embodiment, the angle sensor model is MPU6050, the distance sensor model is E18-D80NK, the PLC uses Siemens s7-200, and the operating handle model is XB222.
[0031] The operation process of the under-driven gear train in this embodiment is as follows:
[0032] When the ground is level, the main motor 22 provides power. After the gearbox 23 is shifted, the power is transmitted to the wheel carrier shaft 15. The wheel carrier shaft 15 drives the large gear 19 to operate. The large gear 19 drives the middle gear 20 and further drives the small gear 21 and The rotation of the wheel 4 completes the forward motion. If the PLC controls the left and right sets of main motors 22 to provide the same speed, the two sets of wheel trains move at the same speed, and the wheelchair moves straight. If the PLC controls the left and right sets of drive systems to provide different speeds, the speed of the wheels 4 Different, you can realize the turning action.
[0033] When the wheel 4 encounters an obstacle, the wheel 4 will stop rotating, so the small gear 21 and the middle gear 20 will also stop rotating. The torque of the large gear 19 against the middle gear 20 will cause the entire gear train to flip forward and cross the obstacle. , When the wheelchair is on the stairs, the previous steps will be repeated many times, thus further climbing the stairs. If the electromagnetic clutch 24 is in the pull-in state, the wheel 4 will also stop rotating, and the wheel carrier shaft 15 will rotate forward at the same time as the gear box 18 and cross the obstacle.
[0034] The operation process of the balancing mechanism in this embodiment is as follows:
[0035] When the seat frame body 1 is tilted forward, the angle sensor 27 will send a signal to the PLC, and the PLC will send a control signal to the lead screw motor 12 and the linear motor 9 to move the slider 7 upwards and the linear motor 9 to contract, so that the tail frame 11 lifts To restore the balance of the chair frame body 1.
[0036] When the seat frame body 1 is tilted backward, the angle sensor 27 will send a signal to the PLC to make the PLC send control signals to the lead screw motor 12 and the linear motor 9, so that the slider 7 moves downward and the linear motor 9 extends, so the tail frame 11 descends, finally restoring the balance of the chair frame body 1.
[0037] Combine the control function of the control system, the working principle of the under-driven gear train and the balance mechanism, such as Figure 5 ~ Figure 6 As shown, the working steps of going up and down stairs in this embodiment are as follows:
[0038] When going up the stairs, select the upstairs mode and control the operating handle 29 to move forward. At this time, the angle sensor 27 will send a signal to the PLC. If the angle sensor 27 is in the horizontal state, the PLC will control the main motor 22 to run and the wheel train moves forward. When starting to go up the stairs, the chair frame body 1 will tilt back, the angle sensor 27 will send a signal to the PLC, the PLC will control the linear motor 9 to extend, the screw motor 12 reverses to make the slider 7 move down, so that the chair frame body 1 Lean forward and continuously adjust the posture to keep the main body 1 of the chair frame balanced.
[0039] When going down the stairs, select the downstairs mode and control the operating handle 29 to move forward. At this time, the PLC will control the electromagnetic clutch 24 so that the active end 31 and the driven end 32 of the electromagnetic clutch are attracted, so that the wheel carrier shaft 15 and the gear box 18 are at the same time Movement helps the gear train to run smoothly on the stairs. The angle sensor 27 will send a signal to the PLC. If the angle sensor 27 is in a horizontal state, the PLC will control the main motor 22 to run, and the gear train will move forward when it starts to descend the stairs. , The chair frame body 1 will tilt forward, the angle sensor 27 will send a signal to the PLC, the PLC will control the linear motor 9 to contract, the screw motor 12 will rotate forward to move the slider 7 upward, so that the chair frame body 1 will tilt backward, and Constantly adjust the posture to keep the main body 1 of the chair frame running in balance.
[0040] After the upstairs or downstairs action is completed, and the leveling state is entered, the PLC will automatically determine the posture of the chair frame body 1 according to the signal sent by the angle sensor 27, adjust the levelness, and continue to move forward.
[0041] If there is a high drop ahead, such as a cliff or a deep trench, a sewer opening without a manhole cover, etc., the distance sensor 28 detects that there is a long distance between the front and the bottom, and it will send a signal to the PLC, and the PLC will stop the main motor 22. Run and issue a warning.
