With the increase in the level of economic development and the improvement of medical and health conditions, society is paying more and more attention to the needs of the elderly. Wheelchairs are a common assistive device for the elderly. One of the most popular wheelchairs available today is the manual wheelchair. So, what is the design associated with manual wheelchairs? Let's take a look.

As we enter old age, mental illnesses appear to vary in degrees as the body tends to age. The appearance of these mental illnesses can lead to depression in the elderly, thus creating a vicious circle that is not conducive to good health. To address this problem, our company designs manual wheelchairs in warm colors. Warm colors are good for stimulating the feelings and emotions of the elderly, thus psychologically reducing their negative emotions and speeding up their aging recovery process. Specifically, in terms of color brightness, the upper part of the manual wheelchair is dominated by brown and yellow, and the lower part is dominated by dark red, which can make the elderly feel more secure psychologically.
Shape design of manual wheelchair
The headrest of the manual wheelchair adopts a removable and height-adjustable design scheme. According to the height of the cervical vertebrae in the sitting posture of the elderly, the adjustment range is determined to be 60mm. the neck can be fully relaxed. In addition, we also designed the backrest of the manual wheelchair. To ensure that the pressure on the elderly's waist and back is as small as possible, the backrest shape of the manual wheelchair is designed as follows: a high backrest is used and the angle of the backrest is chosen to be 105°. The shape of the backrest is as close as possible to the natural curvature of the spine of the elderly. According to the ergonomic theory, the midline of the spine of more than 95% of the elderly can get a backrest shape suitable for the spine of the elderly, so that when the elderly lean on the back of the chair, the natural curvature of the lumbar spine can fit with the backrest and reduce the pressure on the lumbar spine. The high backrest and headrest form a complete backrest so that the elderly can use the rehabilitation wheelchair as a recliner to rest after rehabilitation training, thus realizing a multi-purpose chair.
Safety device design of manual wheelchair
The front wheels of the manual wheelchair use a pair of universal wheels with a radius of 0.05m, and the rear wheels use a pair of large wheels with a radius of 0.15m. This group of wheelchairs not only has good structural stability but also has convenient and flexible steering. The braking gravity self-locking of the manual wheelchair uses springs and resistance parts. When the old man sits down, the spring deforms and the resistance piece comes into contact with the caster, thus locking and preventing the caster from moving; when the old man stands up, the spring returns to its original shape and the resistance. The piece is separated from the caster, thus restoring the heaving state. When the load exceeds 40 kg, the manual wheelchair's wheels automatically lock to ensure stability and safety. In addition, the company's manual wheelchair includes a shock-absorbing cushion. To ensure the comfort of the elderly when riding the wheelchair, the seat cushion is made of a self-inflating airbag shock-absorbing cushion. Considering that the elderly need to sit for a long time, the company's cushion can ensure to a certain extent that the elderly are not easily deformed after sitting for a long time, and it is easy to remove and wash.
As more and more manual wheelchairs are gradually introduced, companies and product regulators should keep up with the times, conduct adequate risk analysis, improve inspection standards, and ultimately improve the quality of products for people to use. Mechanical safety plays an effective role in guaranteeing safety.
