Of course, because of its excellent steering performance, application to an electric wheelchair is not excluded.

In the neutral position of the steering operation, the pair of continuously variable transmissions are selected with the same gear ratio in the normal rotation region, and the steering operation is set to the right.

The wheel-driven swivel device for a wheelchair according to claim 1, wherein the variable speed rotation obtained in the raceway ring is taken out to an output shaft through a cam-type pressure contact force generator. .

The first embodiment will be described below. The term “speed ratio” is used to mean (output side rotational speed) / (input side rotational speed).
As shown in FIG. 1, the driving force from the pedal is simultaneously transmitted from the belt or chain 1 (hereinafter referred to as a belt) to the driving friction rollers 2 and 2 ′. The drive friction rollers 2 and 2 ′ are supported on the mount 7, and these slide together along the guide 8. The configuration of the driven friction wheel is composed of a conical friction wheel 3, 3 ′ for normal rotation, a cylindrical friction wheel 5, 5 ′ integrated therewith, and a conical friction wheel 4, 4 ′ for reverse rotation. Gears 9, 9 'are fixed to the tip of the cylindrical friction wheels 5, 5', and power is transmitted to the left and right wheels 11, 11 'via the gears 10, 10'. As shown in FIG. 2, internal gears 13 and 13 ′ are integrally formed on the conical friction wheels 3 and 3 ′, and the sun gear 14 and the floating wheels 6 and 6 integrated with the conical friction wheel 4. A simple planetary gear mechanism is constituted by the planetary gear 12 loosely fitted on the fixed shaft of '. A one-way clutch 15 is disposed between the conical friction wheel 4 and the floating wheels 6 and 6 '.

  Next, the operation of the drive turning device will be described. In the region B, the left and right wheels 11 and 11 ′ are both rotated forward. In the area A, the left wheel 11 ′ rotates forward and the right wheel 11 rotates backward. The area C is an area in which the right wheel 11 rotates forward and the left wheel 11 ′ rotates backward. A boundary region between the A region and the B region is a region where the left wheel 11 ′ rotates forward and the right wheel 11 stops. The boundary area between the B area and the C area is an area where the right wheel 11 rotates forward and the left wheel 11 ′ stops.

  In the state shown in FIG. 1, the power transmitted from the belt 1 to the drive friction rollers 2 and 2 'rotates the conical friction wheels 3 and 3' for forward rotation and is integrated with the conical friction wheels 3 and 3 '. Are transmitted to the left and right wheels 11, 11 ′ through the gears 9, 9 ′ and the gears 10, 10 ′. Since the gear ratios of the conical friction wheels 3 and 3 ′ are arranged at the same position, the left and right wheels 11 and 11 ′ rotate forward at the same speed, and as a result, the wheelchair moves straight.

  When the mount 7 is moved along the guide 8 toward the left wheel 11 'in the region B, the gear ratio between the conical friction wheel 3' and the drive friction roller 2 'increases, and the conical friction wheel increases. 3 and the drive friction roller 2 become lower, the rotation speed of the left wheel 11 ′ increases and the rotation speed of the right wheel 11 decreases. As a result, the wheelchair turns to the right with characteristics corresponding to the forward rotation speed of the left and right wheels 11, 11 ′. As the speed ratio difference increases, the turning radius decreases and a small turning state is achieved.

  Next, the operation when the mount 7 is moved along the guide 8 to the boundary region between A and B will be described. In this state, the driving friction roller 2 transmits the rotation to the floating wheel 6, and the driving friction roller 2 'transmits the rotation to the cylindrical friction wheel 5'. Then, the cylindrical friction wheel 5 'is driven at the highest gear ratio, but the rotation given to the floating wheel 6 only causes the conical friction wheel 4 for reverse rotation to idle, and the cone for forward rotation. Since the rotational force cannot be extracted from the mold friction wheel 3, the right wheel 11 is stopped. In this state, the wheelchair turns right about the right wheel 11, and is in a so-called belief turning state.

  Further, when the mount 7 is moved along the guide 8 and reaches the area A, the drive friction roller 2 'transmits rotation to the cylindrical friction wheel 5'. The mold friction wheel 4 is rotated. Then, the sun gear 14 and the floating wheel 6 integral with the reverse conical friction wheel 4 are allowed to rotate in directions opposite to each other by the action of the one-way clutch 15, so that they are loosely fitted on the fixed shaft of the floating wheel 6. The planetary gear 12 rotates while revolving on the sun gear 14 to rotate the internal gear 13 in the reverse direction. Since the internal gear 13 is provided integrally with the conical friction wheel 3 for normal rotation, the conical friction wheel 3 for normal rotation reverses. Then, while the left wheel 11 ′ rotates forward, the right wheel 11 rotates backward. If the forward rotation speed of the left wheel 11 ′ and the reverse rotation speed of the right wheel 11 are set equal, the wheelchair can perform a super turn.

  When entering the C region from the B region, the left wheel 11 'is now shifted from the stopped state to the reverse rotation, and during this time, the right wheel 11 is rotated forward, so that the wheelchair can turn left. Since the operation is almost the same as that of turning right, the description is omitted.

  The second embodiment will be described below. Although the basic configuration is not significantly different from that of the first embodiment, there is a difference in the configuration of the simple planetary gear device. In the first embodiment, the planetary gear 12 is loosely fitted on a fixed shaft integral with the floating wheel 6, so that the floating wheel 6 also serves as a planet carrier. Therefore, in order to obtain a desired action, the one-way clutch 15 is interposed between the reverse conical friction wheel 4 and the floating wheel 6, but the second embodiment is fixed integrally with the angle 16. Since the planetary gear 12 is loosely fitted to the shaft, and the angle 16 is integrated with the external fixing portion, the angle 16 plays a role of a fixed planet carrier. Further, the floating wheel 6 is in a loose relationship with the conical friction wheel 4 for reverse rotation. According to this configuration, the one-way clutch 15 is not required.

  Next, the operation of the drive turning device will be described. In the region B, the left and right wheels 11 and 11 ′ are both rotated forward. In the area A, the left wheel 11 ′ rotates forward and the right wheel 11 rotates backward. The area C is an area in which the right wheel 11 rotates forward and the left wheel 11 ′ rotates backward. A boundary region between the A region and the B region is a region where the left wheel 11 ′ rotates forward and the right wheel 11 stops. The boundary area between the B area and the C area is an area where the right wheel 11 rotates forward and the left wheel 11 ′ stops.

  In the state shown in FIG. 1, the power transmitted from the belt 1 to the drive friction rollers 2 and 2 'rotates the conical friction wheels 3 and 3' for forward rotation and is integrated with the conical friction wheels 3 and 3 '. Are transmitted to the left and right wheels 11, 11 ′ through the gears 9, 9 ′ and the gears 10, 10 ′. Since the gear ratios of the conical friction wheels 3 and 3 ′ are arranged at the same position, the left and right wheels 11 and 11 ′ rotate forward at the same speed, and as a result, the wheelchair moves straight.

  When the mount 7 is moved along the guide 8 toward the left wheel 11 'in the region B, the gear ratio between the conical friction wheel 3' and the drive friction roller 2 'increases, and the conical friction wheel increases. 3 and the drive friction roller 2 become lower, the rotation speed of the left wheel 11 ′ increases and the rotation speed of the right wheel 11 decreases. As a result, the wheelchair turns to the right with characteristics corresponding to the forward rotation speed of the left and right wheels 11, 11 ′. As the speed ratio difference increases, the turning radius decreases and a small turning state is achieved.

  Next, the operation when the mount 7 is moved along the guide 8 to the boundary region between A and B will be described. In this state, the driving friction roller 2 transmits the rotation to the floating wheel 6, and the driving friction roller 2 'transmits the rotation to the cylindrical friction wheel 5'. Then, the cylindrical friction wheel 5 ′ is driven at the highest gear ratio, but the rotation given to the floating wheel 6 only causes the floating wheel 6 to rotate idly, so that the conical friction wheel 3 for forward rotation is changed. Since the rotational force cannot be extracted, the right wheel 11 is stopped. In this state, the wheelchair turns right about the right wheel 11, and is in a so-called belief turning state.

  Further, when the mount 7 is moved along the guide 8 and reaches the area A, the drive friction roller 2 'transmits rotation to the cylindrical friction wheel 5'. The mold friction wheel 4 is rotated. Then, the rotation of the sun gear 14 integrated with the conical friction wheel 4 for reverse rotation causes the internal gear 13 to move to the sun gear via the planetary gear 12 loosely fitted to the fixed shaft of the angle 16 integrated with the external fixing portion. 14 is rotated in the opposite direction. Since the internal gear 13 is provided integrally with the conical friction wheel 3 for normal rotation, the conical friction wheel 3 for normal rotation reverses. Then, while the left wheel 11 ′ rotates forward, the right wheel 11 rotates backward. If the forward rotation speed of the left wheel 11 ′ and the reverse rotation speed of the right wheel 11 are set equal, the wheelchair can perform a super turn.

  When entering the C area from the B area, the left wheel 11 'is now in a stopped state and then shifts to the reverse rotation. During this time, the right wheel 11 is in the forward rotation area, so the wheelchair can turn left. Since the operation is almost the same as that of turning right, the description is omitted.

  The third embodiment will be described below. In FIG. 4, the power transmitted to the input shaft 30 is transmitted to the right continuously variable transmission 31 and the left continuously variable transmission 32 at the same speed, and the output shifted by the continuously variable transmissions 31 and 32 is output to the right. It is transmitted to the wheel 33 and the left wheel 34. The continuously variable transmissions 31 and 32 can perform a continuously variable transmission from the forward rotation region to the reverse rotation region through the zero shift region by moving the transmission rings 35 and 36 in the axial direction. In FIG. 4, the transmission rings 35 and 36 are set so that the same transmission ratio can be obtained in the forward rotation region of the continuously variable transmissions 31 and 32, and the handle 38 is in the neutral position. This state indicates a straight traveling state of the wheelchair, and both the right wheel 33 and the left wheel 34 rotate in the forward direction at the same speed.

  When the handle 38 starts to be turned to the right, the transmission ring 35 and the transmission ring 36 are aligned and moved to the right by the operation rod 37. As a result, the gear ratio of the right continuously variable transmission 31 decreases, and conversely the gear ratio of the left continuously variable transmission 32 increases, so the forward speed of the right wheel 33 decreases, while the forward speed of the left wheel 34 decreases. As the wheelchair increases, the wheelchair starts turning right with a large turning radius. As the turning angle of the handle 38 increases, the turning radius gradually decreases.

  When the steering wheel is further turned off, the right continuously variable transmission 31 enters a zero speed change state, the transmission ratio of the left continuously variable transmission 32 becomes larger, and the wheelchair turns around the right wheel stopped.

  When the steering wheel is further turned, the right continuously variable transmission 31 enters the reverse rotation region, and the right wheel 33 starts to rotate backward, so that it approaches the super-trust turning state rather than the trust turning state. If the handle 38 is fully turned, the reverse gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission 31 on the right side is increased, and a small turn almost similar to super turning can be obtained.

  The above description describes an example in which the steering angle of the handle 38 is gradually changed while continuing the stepping drive. However, since the stepping drive and the steering can be performed independently by hand and foot, for example, It is also possible to perform only turning by stepping after the handle 38 is set to the belief turning state. Of course, other turning characteristics can be obtained from the stop state. This invention is intended for a stepped wheelchair for rehabilitation and acquisition of mobility ability for people with gait disabilities caused by stroke, spinal cord injury and other traumas and diseases. However, its excellent steering performance is not impaired at all.

  Next, the details of the continuously variable transmission will be described with reference to FIG. This continuously variable transmission is well known, and the friction wheel 23 fixed to the input shaft 21 is in frictional contact with a transmission surface 27 having a concave cross section integral with the conical roller 26. On the other hand, the track ring 24 disposed on the output shaft 22 side is in frictional contact with the bottom surface of the conical roller 26. The conical roller 26 is supported by a carrier 28 and can revolve while rotating, and the transmission ring 25 is in frictional contact with the conical surface of the conical roller 26. The variable speed rotation obtained in the track ring 24 by moving the speed change ring 25 in the axial direction is taken out to the output shaft 22 via a cam-type pressure contact force generator.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is effective as a stepping wheelchair for rehabilitation and acquisition of mobility ability for persons with gait disorders caused by stroke, spinal cord injury and other traumas and diseases. Application to electric wheelchairs can be sufficiently expected from its excellent steering performance.
