Problems solved by technology

[0003] In order to solve the problems of complex structure, large volume, damage to the stairs, low energy efficiency and other problems of the crawler wheelchair in the existing technical solutions, as well as the problems of unstable movement, large center of gravity fluctuation and uncomfortable ride of the planetary wheel wheelchair, the technology adopted in the present invention The scheme is: a stable stair and level ground walking electric wheelchair, which consists of a seat, a controller, a frame, a front wheel, an Archimedes-like helical impeller conversion mechanism, a variable rear wheel, a motor and a small auxiliary track for the front wheel Composition; Archimedes-like helical impeller conversion structure is composed of planetary gear mechanism, clutch and telescopic support rod; planetary gear mechanism is composed of four planetary gears, sun gear and planet carrier, connected with variable rear wheel; The modified rear wheel is composed of four arc rims that can be unscrewed to the outside of the rim and the arc rod hub. The four arc rims form a complete circular rear wheel rim. Each arc rim is connected to the The arc-shaped rod hub forms a blade, and there are four blades with the same structure; each segment of the arc-shaped rod hub is fixedly connected with the corresponding planetary wheel, and connected with the planetary carrier by a hinge, which can rotate around the planetary carrier. The fulcrum of the hinge rotates, and the rotation angle is adjusted by the controller. The outer layer of the variable rear wheel rim is hollow rubber

Embodiment Construction

[0009] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0010] The present invention utilizes the motion characteristics of the Archimedes helical wheel when climbing stairs, that is, the Archimedes helical wheel rotates around the axis of the wheel shaft at an equal angular velocity and realizes uniform movement in the horizontal direction with pure rolling. The center can move at a constant speed in the vertical direction according to the constant speed movement along the radial direction of the wheel. The variable rear wheel can be transformed from a round wheel to a four-impeller through an Archimedes-like helical impeller conversion mechanism. The four-segment wheel of the variable wheel The trajectory curve of the rim arc relative to the center point of the wheel axle after being expanded into four impellers is very similar to the Archimedes spiral, and the error of using the rim arc to approximate the ...

Abstract

Provided is an electrically powered wheelchair capable of stably walking on a staircase and a flat ground. The electrically powered wheelchair consists of a seat, a controller, a frame, a front wheel, a similar Archimedes helical line impeller conversion mechanism, a transformable back wheel, a motor and a small front wheel auxiliary caterpillar band. The similar Archimedes helical line impeller conversion mechanism consists of a planet wheel mechanism, a clutch and a telescopic support rod. The planet wheel mechanism consists of four planet gears, a sun wheel and a planet carrier and is connected with the transformable back wheel. The transformable back wheel consists of four sections of circular arc wheel flanges capable of respectively being screwed open towards the outer sides of the wheel flanges and arc-shaped rod hubs, wherein the four sections of circular arc wheel flanges form a complete round back wheel flange, and the circular arc wheel flanges and the arc-shaped rod hubs form four wheel blades completely identical in structure. Each arc-shaped rod hub is fixedly connected with the corresponding planet wheel and connected with the planet carrier through a hinge. The electrically powered wheelchair capable of stably walking on the staircase and the flat ground is simple in structure, high in energy efficiency, stable in motion, conformable in riding and capable of being applied to daily family life of disabled people and old people.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a stable staircase and an electric wheelchair for walking on level ground, belonging to the field of machinery for assisting the disabled and the elderly. Background technique: [0002] There are mainly two kinds of stair-climbing wheelchairs on the market now, namely crawler wheelchairs and planetary wheel wheelchairs. The crawler wheelchair moves smoothly, but has a complex structure, large volume, heavy weight, damage to the stairs, low energy efficiency, and difficulty in turning. The planetary wheel chair is small in size, but the movement is unstable, the center of gravity fluctuates greatly, and the ride is uncomfortable. The "iBOT" of the United States is currently the product with the highest performance index among the star wheel chairs, but the cost is high. Invention content: [0003] In order to solve the problems of complex structure, large volume, damage to the stairs, low energy efficiency and other problems...
