With the progress of society, a variety of smart and multi-functional electric wheelchairs are constantly updating and coming out, and the number of scientific and technological personnel who provide mechanical services such as electric wheelchairs and hearing aids for the elderly will increase with each passing day. The electric wheelchair can be controlled by the lower controller, forehead controller or any of the above controllers, which is more convenient to operate than some traditional wheelchairs.
The disabled people are more eager to return to society and live independently, which promotes the continuous improvement and improvement of the performance and quality of manual wheelchairs. Electric wheelchairs are typical examples. Some advanced electric wheelchairs have been widely used with high and new technologies. TOPMEDI introduces the function and structure of electric wheelchair in detail.
The electric wheelchair is used when the patient's hand function is very weak and cannot drive an ordinary manual wheelchair, or although it can drive, the action distance is far, the physical strength cannot bear, or the body is weak and cannot drive at all.
The structure of electric wheelchairs is far more complex than that of ordinary wheelchairs. It mainly includes the following institutions:
1. The driving mechanism is powered by 12V or 24V batteries, including front wheel drive and rear wheel drive. Front wheel drive is easy to cross obstacles.
2. There are two kinds of wheelchair speed change mechanisms: step speed change and stepless speed change.
3. The wheelchair brake mechanism mostly adopts the reverse action of the motor.
4. The battery is a 24V automotive battery, which can be used for 3-6 hours continuously after being charged once.
5. Control mechanisms include manual control, head control, tongue control, buccal control, frequency control, pneumatic control, voice control, etc. Except for manual control, other controls are used for patients with quadriplegia.
For C4 and below injuries, pneumatic control should be used as much as possible when the respiratory muscles are still functional. For C4 and above injuries, the respiratory function is poor, and head, tongue, cheek, chin, voice control and other control forms can be selected, but most of them are chin control.
