Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, the level of urbanization in my country is constantly improving, but the per capita housing area is not large, and the income level is not high. Most people live in apartment-style buildings. Generally, buildings below 7 floors are not equipped with elevators. A lot of inconvenience to the families of people
Wheelchairs are the preferred tool for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and a very important necessity. Ordinary wheelchairs are basically not difficult to drive on flat ground or on slopes with small slopes. However, when encountering stairs, in addition to manual movement by assistants There is little else better, which severely limits the range of motion for wheelchair users
Analyzing the reasons, the main reason is that ordinary wheelchairs do not have an executable mechanism for going up and down stairs, and are generally relatively large in size, so they cannot be used in ordinary apartment-style corridors.

Embodiment 1

[0027] This embodiment provides as image 3 The mode conversion device shown consists of a crescent plate and a long screw. The crescent plate contains internal teeth, and the central shaft contains external teeth. The two can mesh with each other to ensure that in the stair climbing mode, through the push and fixation of the long screw, the crescent plate and the central shaft are meshed with each other while avoiding the rotation of the central shaft. The meniscus is slippery, thus ensuring its stability and safety. At this time, the planet carrier (such as image 3 shown) will realize the turning action under the rotation of the central axis, and the three sets of wheels will land alternately to realize the function of climbing stairs.

Embodiment 2

[0029] This embodiment provides as figure 1 Another working process of the shown autonomous stair climbing wheelchair.

[0030] When driving on flat ground, turn the long screw, and the long screw will drive the crescent plate to separate from the central shaft. Under the rotation of the central shaft, it will pass through the central gear on the planet carrier, the transition gear, and finally drive to the end gear, and the end gear will be connected with the center shaft. The rear wheels are coaxial, and then drive the rear wheels to rotate to realize the advancement of the wheelchair. At this point, one set of wheels on the back is in contact with the ground, while the other two sets will be idling in the air. In addition, the present invention is also equipped with a push handle, and in the flat ground mode, the occupant can also move forward under the push of the accompanying personnel when the power is turned off.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of ergonomics, and provides a novel wheelchair capable of climbing stair. The wheelchair combines the function of climbing stairs and ordinary wheelchairs. A planet-rolling-wheel converted walking type driving stair-climbing wheelchair device is designed. The wheelchair includes a frame, two planetary frames, six back wheels, two guide wheels, a center shaft, twocentre gears, six tansition gears, six end gears, a first driving gear, a second driving gear, a reducer, a mode transition mechanism, a vibration damper, a motor, and a guide wheel bracket. The setting of the planetary frame and a gear set makes stair-climbing mode and flat mode not influence each other. The critical component of the novel wheelchair capable of climbing stair nearly or entirelyuses mechanical structure, is concise in design, simple and convenient in operation, and high in reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of ergonomics, in particular to a wheelchair capable of climbing stairs. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology and the progress of civilization, it has created a rich space for human development, but it has also brought some significant social problems. For example, due to old age, accidents or leg disabilities, the disabled and the elderly lose their ability to move freely, which brings huge burden and psychological pressure to themselves and their families. Stairs are an important part of general buildings, but have you ever thought that the stairs that bring convenience to ordinary people just cause trouble to those disabled people who need wheelchairs, especially in China, where the economic development is uneven, many buildings in many places do not have The installation of elevators has brought physical and mental adverse effects to many physically handicapped people. How...
