Problems solved by technology

[0002] Wheelchairs are an indispensable necessity in life for the elderly, weak and disabled. With the maturity of electric bicycle technology, electric wheelchairs have gradually entered people's field of vision. Various designs have emerged, including star-wheel, crawler, walking, etc., but these designs have largely failed to gain popularity
[0003] Even in developed countries, most of the current manual wheelchairs are still using ordinary manual wheelchairs. The main reason is that it is difficult to have a design that can take into account complete safety, small fluctuations, extensive adaptability to obstacles, small size, The appearance is not too abrupt, and the most important thing is that for people with simple lower limb disabilities, these wheelchairs cannot help them get rid of their caregivers to a large extent.

example 1

[0049] When going up the stairs, the driving wheel 6 and the driven wheel 7 are raised so that the crawler belt 8 is in contact with the bottom surface, and the direction is adjusted so that the rear end of the seat 1 is the forward direction. The distance between the rear end and the first step is detected at the same time as the distance between each step and the ground, and the distance sensor 29 rotates at a constant speed on the plane vertical to the bottom plate 40, so when the distance sensor 29 detects that the distance from the step changes , the angle of rotation can be calculated, thereby calculating the height between the steps, the distance sensor 29 rotates on the plane where the base plate 40 is located, and first detects the distance from the end of the step, which is the vertical distance to the steps of the present invention. Plane continues to rotate the distance sensor 29, and measures whether the two distances of symmetry and the vertical distance are the s...

example 2

[0055] The process of getting on and off the bus in the present invention is basically the same as the process of going up and down the steps above. The characteristics of the steps of the bus are that the first step is higher, usually 2-2.5 times that of ordinary steps, and each step is extremely irregular. The present invention designs the front push rod 5 , under the control of the controller, the front push rod 5 is unfolded and folded in time to ensure that when going up and down the first step of the bus, the maximum angle is always less than 45°. Completed step by step under supervision.

example 3

[0057] The auxiliary wheelchair 28 of the present invention can facilitate the user to go to the toilet, get on and off the bed, take a bath, move away from the wheelchair, and perform indoor basic activities. The auxiliary wheelchair 28 is also provided with armrests and a backrest, and the armrests, the backrest and the auxiliary wheelchair 28 are connected through hinges. Connection, armrest and backrest can be directly flipped and folded on both sides and the rear side of the auxiliary wheelchair 28.

[0058] The specific working process is as follows:

[0059] The user rotates the rotating rod 32 by 90 degrees so that the rotating rod 32 is perpendicular to the corresponding armrest 3. The user puts the thigh on the rotating rod 32 and exerts force on the armrest 3 with both hands. The manual clutch device 46 can be manually controlled by the receiver, so that the gear 45 and the rack 44 are meshed, and the lock 41 is notified to separate from the auxiliary wheelchair 28,...

Abstract

The invention relates to a multifunctional electric wheelchair for barrier-free travel. A common wheel type and supporting power assisting arm collaboration caterpillar combination is adopted, and an auxiliary wheelchair is inlaid in the caterpillar combination, so that the multifunctional electric wheelchair can travel on flat grounds, stairs and steps and is beneficial to disabled persons in daily life. The multifunctional electric wheelchair comprises a seat, a backrest, armrests and pedal plates. The bottom of the backrest is arranged at the rear end of the top of the seat, a main frame is arranged below the seat, two sides of the seat are respectively connected with the main frame by automatic balance devices, two caterpillars are further symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the main frame, and auxiliary telescopic supporting arms are respectively arranged on two sides of the main frame and are close to the rear end of the main frame; the auxiliary wheelchair is arranged in the main frame, and the pedal plates are arranged on the auxiliary wheelchair. The multifunctional electric wheelchair has the advantages that when a user climbs the stairs, telescoping actions of the auxiliary telescopic supporting arms are matched with movement of the caterpillars, so that the user can climb up/down the stairs or leave the stairs; the caterpillars can independently travel on oblique planes of the stairs, so that the user can sit on the auxiliary wheelchair to go to a toilet or go to a bed or get out of the bed as needed.
