Definitions

  • the invention relates to a power wheelchair according to the features of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to an electric wheelchair with a base frame, on which front drive wheels and rear steering wheels are mounted.
  • the drive wheels may be driven by two motors, so that a drive motor is provided for each front drive wheel.
  • the front drive wheels and the rear steering wheels can be so spring-loaded by adjustable spring force of suspension struts that all four wheels have contact with the ground.
  • the wheels can be hung individually on the frame.
  • the US 5,380,034 A shows a wheelchair with a base frame on which steerable front wheels and non-steerable rear wheels are arranged.
  • a base frame At the front of the base frame telescopically adjustable struts are arranged on both sides, each carrying a lateral armrest.
  • a backrest At the back of the armrest is pivotally mounted a backrest. This carries at its lower end by means of a pivot axis a seat, which in turn is laterally held at its front end region by means of struts on the armrests.
  • a four-bar mechanism which performs a parallelogram-like forced adjustment at a tilt of the backrest.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a power wheelchair of the type mentioned, in which a cost-effective manufacturability and simple, reliable operation, a variable adjustment and adjustment of the seat is possible.
  • the base frame of the power wheelchair first carries a lifting column, for example, an electric lifting column, by means of which the seat height is adjustable.
  • the seat can thus be moved from a relatively low driving position to the desired height.
  • the invention provides that on the base frame an intermediate frame is mounted, which in turn supports a seat frame.
  • a seat frame On the base frame an intermediate frame is mounted, which in turn supports a seat frame.
  • three frame elements or frame groups are stored at the top of the lifting column, which are individually movable and adjustable to each other. This opens up the possibility according to the invention to adjust the seat individually in its position. It is particularly advantageous if the base frame, the intermediate frame and the seat frame form a scissor mechanism.
  • the base frame, the intermediate frame and the seat frame By adjusting the base frame, the intermediate frame and the seat frame relative to each other about the two horizontal pivot axes results in a variety of Einstellvarin that can be selected either individually or in combination. It is thus possible to adjust the seat so that (with backward tilt or tilt of the seat), a reclining position or a recliner-like position can be taken, while in an inclination of the seat forward an upright or standing position can be selected.
  • the reclining position is for decubitus prophylaxis, while the upright or standing position may allow the wheelchair user to straighten the upper body to grasp, for example, higher lying objects.
  • the first axis viewed in the direction of travel
  • the second axis seen in the direction of travel
  • the adjusting units provided for relative movement between the base frame, the intermediate frame and the seat frame are electrically operated and are designed for example as telescopic linear actuators. These require little space and are therefore easy to install. On the other hand, larger adjustment paths can be realized with favorable leverage forces, so that the adjustment units or drives can be dimensioned cost-effectively and weight-saving.
  • a servomotor-adjustable legrest is arranged on the base frame, the inclination and / or the length of which are adaptable by means of an adjusting unit.
  • the individual adjustment units and actuation modules are coordinated with one another in such a way that optimal adaptation to the posture of the wheelchair user results in each case.
  • the seat frame, a backrest is mounted so that it is adjustable in its inclination relative to the seat or the seat frame, for example, to be able to adjust the inclination according to a tilt of the seat and a transition to a reclining position ,
  • the electric wheelchair according to the invention initially comprises a base frame 3, on which front drive wheels 1 and rear steering wheels 2 are mounted.
  • the design of the base frame, the bearing of the drive wheels and steering wheels and the drive is known in principle from the prior art, so that can be dispensed with detailed explanations at this point.
  • the wheelchair according to the invention comprises a lifting column 6 mounted on the base frame 3. This is preferably telescopically telescopically and electrically driven.
  • a base frame 7 is fixed, which comprises a rearwardly extending horizontal part and an angled front part, which is inclined only slightly to the vertical.
  • a first horizontal Axis 8 is provided, on which an intermediate frame 9 is pivotally mounted.
  • the intermediate frame 9 extends in Z-shaped angled both forward and slightly backwards.
  • the front, free end of the intermediate frame 9 is, as in particular from Fig. 1 can be seen slightly angled upwards to support a second horizontal axis 10, on which in turn pivotally a seat frame 11 is mounted.
  • the seat frame 11 comprises a substantially horizontal leg, to which a seat 5 is fixed, as well as an obliquely downwardly angled free leg, which projects beyond the articulation point of the second horizontal axis 10.
  • the base frame, the intermediate frame and the seat frame are each U-shaped or Herstrebig formed to ensure a tilting security and Verkantterrorism and to store the seat 5 in a suitable manner. It is understood that within the scope of the invention various modifications are conceivable, for example T-shaped configurations of the base frame, the intermediate frame and / or the seat frame. This can be done depending on the structural dimensions and the spatial conditions.
  • Fig. 5 is mounted on the seat frame 11 in the rear region of a backrest 4, which is adjustable about a horizontal axis 15 in its inclination.
  • a first adjustment unit 12 is arranged between the front, downwardly facing end portion or free leg of the base frame 7 and a front end portion of the intermediate frame 9, a first adjustment unit 12 is arranged.
  • the base frame 7 has a pivot point 16.
  • the intermediate frame 9 is provided with a pivot point 17 in order to ensure the pivotability of the first adjustment unit 12.
  • a second adjusting unit 13 is provided, which is connected at the articulation points 18 and 19 with a rear portion of the intermediate frame 9 and an end portion of the angled front end of the seat frame 11.
  • An actuation of the second adjustment unit 13 thus leads to a pivoting of the seat frame 11 relative to the intermediate frame 9. This results in the possibility of tilting the seat 5 forward when the second adjustment unit 13 is shortened in length, for example relative to the in the Fig. 1 and 4 shown position.
  • the Fig. 5 shows the articulation of a legrest 14 at the front end portion of the seat frame 11.
  • the bolster 14 can be adjusted by means of an adjusting unit, not shown in detail in its inclination.
  • the legrest 14 is adjustable in length.
  • Fig. 4 shows lowest seat height, by lifting the lifting column 6 to raise the seat, for example by an amount of 300 mm.
  • the first adjusting unit 12 and the second adjusting unit 13 the one formed by the base frame 7, the intermediate frame 9 and the seat frame 11 Scissor-type mechanism can be changed in height.
  • the Fig. 1 shows, for example, the maximum height, which can be realized thereby and which may be, for example, 250 mm.
  • the wheelchair according to the invention thus enables a seat height adjustment in different heights in combination with a righting mechanism and a Kantel mechanism. It is thus possible according to the invention, by means of the lifting column and the first or the second adjustment to set movements that lead to the erection of the user of the wheelchair, wherein the coordination of the individual movements of the lifting column and the first and the second adjustment formed servo drives (and optionally further servo drives) can be implemented and coordinated by means of a controller. All adjustment and adjustment are functionally reliable and easy to implement and can for example be coordinated with each other via a common control to realize the fastest possible, energy-saving and comfortable for the user setting the various wheelchair positions.
