Elderly people with limited mobility and the disabled have electric wheelchairs, so they can consider doing daily activities such as grocery shopping and cooking. But in the process of using, how to deal with failures, today Topmedi takes you to understand the common failures and repair methods of electric wheelchairs.
The failures of electric wheelchairs mainly include battery, brake, tire, motor and controller failures, etc.:
Battery: There is no way to charge and it is not durable after charging. First of all, if the battery cannot be charged, first check whether the charger is normal, and then check the fuse. The problem will basically occur in these two places. Secondly, the battery is not durable after being charged, and the battery will be worn out during normal use, and the battery life of the wheelchair will gradually weaken, which is normal. If the wheelchair has a sudden endurance problem, it is usually caused by excessive discharge.
Therefore, in the process of using an electric wheelchair, you must be diligent in maintaining the battery and charge it in time so that the battery is always fully charged.
Brake: The cause of the problem is the problem caused by the clutch and rocker. The user must check whether the clutch is in the "gear ON" position every time before traveling with the electric wheelchair, and check whether the rocker of the controller bounces back to the middle position. If it is not for these two reasons, consider whether it is damaged or not, and contact the manufacturer for repair in time.
Tire: The problem that often occurs is that it is punctured. If the tire is punctured, you need to go to a bicycle repair shop to repair it. However, many products have begun to use non-inflated tires or even vacuum tires, which can avoid the problems of puncture and air leakage of wheelchair tires.
Motor: The most likely problem is carbon brush wear. It is recommended that users replace a set of carbon brushes in about a year. Of course, most products on the market currently use brushless motors, which can greatly reduce the frequency of motor maintenance.
