Definitions

  • the invention relates to a vehicle with Mittenradantrieb, in particular wheelchair or Aufrichtrollstuhl, with a chassis and arranged on the chassis seat device, wherein the chassis has a front part and a rear part, which are articulated to each other by means of a joint, and two separately motor-driven center gears, two front wheels and at least one rear wheel.
  • FIG. 1 shows the US 5,904,214 a mid-wheel drive wheelchair with two center wheels, two front wheels designed as swivel wheels, and a rear wheel.
  • the seat is located above the center wheels.
  • Each of the two center wheels is separately driven by a motor.
  • This has the advantage that the wheelchair can be turned in a small space, for example in an elevator car. To turn it in place, the wheelchair user operates the controller so that the two center wheels are rotated in opposite directions. The user and the wheelchair are turned around their own axis.
  • the front wheels must not hinder the turning. Therefore, the front wheels are designed as swivel wheels.
  • This wheelchair has the disadvantage that the front wheels must be designed as swivel wheels, so they do not hinder the turning. There is therefore little space for the footrest available.
  • a particular disadvantage is that with this wheelchair obstacles, if they exceed a certain height, can not be overcome in slow speed.
  • WO 2005/051279 is a six-wheeled wheelchair in which on each side of the chassis, a two-armed lever is articulated by means of a hinge. At each lever arm a wheel is arranged. The wheels of this pair of wheels are coupled together by a chain or a gear transmission and jointly driven by a motor. The arrangement of the two pairs of wheels and the rear wheels is chosen so that the weight of the chair user is approximately evenly distributed to the pairs of wheels and the rear wheels. In terms of function, these wheels are therefore front wheels. Thanks to the articulated arrangement of the two-armed lever on the chassis, both wheels of the wheel pairs always remain in contact with the ground, even on uneven terrain. This wheelchair does not have the advantages of the previously described wheelchair with center drive. A turn on the spot is not possible.
  • the wheelchair according to the US 2007/0152427 is not a wheelchair with Mittenradantrieb. He basically has four or eight articulated wheel units whose wheels are individually driven by a motor.
  • an electric wheelchair which has a frame, on which front two drive shafts are arranged, which are driven by electric motors. Each drive shaft drives via a transmission two front wheels arranged one behind the other. Next two rear wheels are provided.
  • the description explicitly refers to in-line arranged pairs of front wheels. There is thus no wheelchair with Mittenradantrieb before. The described wheelchair can thus not be turned in a narrow space by rotation of center wheels in opposite directions.
  • the GB 2 325 903 discloses a vehicle having a chassis comprising a front part and a rear part which are hinged together by means of a hinge. At the front of the front wheels and the center wheels are arranged, which are drivable by a four-wheel drive with one or more engines. On level ground, both the front and the rear wheels are in contact with the ground, which has the night part that turning in a confined space is not possible because the non-steerable front wheels prevent this. Also, it is virtually impossible to overcome an obstacle in forward drive without starting. Rather, reverse driving is expressly required to overcome the obstacle (page 7, lines 2ff.). To allow the overcoming of an obstacle, the rear wheels are arranged elevated. They are usually not in contact with the ground.
  • a sensor is provided, with which an actuator is controllable, which vershwenkt the front part with respect to the rear part to raise by means of a lever system, a pair of auxiliary wheels, so that it can easily climb over the obstacle.
  • the pivoting of the rear part also causes a lifting of the center wheels.
  • a roll-up wheelchair the user should be able to perform a rotation about its own axis, both in the sitting position and in the standing position.
  • a vehicle of the type mentioned is characterized in that the front wheels are separately driven by a motor and that drive means are provided, with which the front part of the chassis is adjustable with respect to the rear part to the center wheels to bring out of contact with the ground.
  • the front wheels are not in contact with the ground. Therefore, they do not hinder the seated user of the vehicle from turning together with the vehicle about its own axis.
  • the invention also allows the standing user to perform a rotation about its own axis, because by means of said drive means, the front part of the chassis can be adjusted to bring the center wheels out of contact with the ground.
  • the front wheels are driven separately from each other, they can, as otherwise the center wheels, are driven in opposite directions, so that the standing user is rotated about its own axis. Since the center wheels are not in contact with the ground, they do not constitute an obstacle to such a rotation.
  • the construction of the vehicle according to the invention has the further advantage that it is relatively simple, but nevertheless ensures good driving characteristics. Unlike the wheelchair according to the GB 2 325 903 an obstacle can be overcome when driving forward. Due to the fact that the front wheels are normally not in contact with the ground, ie are arranged in an elevated position, they can easily overcome this when hitting an obstacle. Further, because the front wheels do not need to be designed as swivel wheels, there is plenty of room for the footrest available.
  • the wheelchair behaves like a vehicle with four-wheel drive, for example, on snow-covered roads. In fact, four wheels are driven. Although the rear wheel does not have a motorized drive, this does not adversely affect the handling because of the weight of the user in a vehicle with Mittenradantrieb relies mainly on the center wheels.
  • the front part forms a two-armed lever, wherein the middle wheels are arranged on one arm and the front wheels on the other arm.
  • Spring means for example a spring-joint element or a spring, may be provided to keep the front wheels normally out of contact with the ground. In this raised position, the front wheels facilitate overcoming obstacles.
  • an auxiliary wheel can be provided behind the center wheel.
  • a common motor drive usually an electric motor to provide.
  • the center wheel, the front wheel and possibly the auxiliary wheel can be in operative connection with each other by an endless chain, an endless toothed belt, a gear transmission, a cardan shaft or another device.
  • a user-operable motor for example a linear motor serve.
  • a connection for example a Bowden cable or a cable.
  • This coupling then causes the front part of the chassis to be lowered during a transition from the sitting position to the standing position, so that the front wheels come into contact with the ground and the center wheels are brought out of contact with the ground.
  • a connection for example a Bowden cable or a cable.
  • Fig. 1 shown vehicle is designed as a Trorichtrollstuhl.
  • This consists essentially of the wheels 13, 15, 17 comprising the chassis 11 and the seat device 19.
  • This is provided with a Aufrichtmechanismus, not shown, which allows the user to move out of the in the FIGS. 1 and 5 shown sitting position in the in the FIGS. 6 and 7 to be shown standing position.
  • the seating device is arranged so that in the sitting position the weight of the chair occupant rests essentially on the center wheels and in the standing position on the front wheels. Erecting mechanisms have been known for a long time.
  • a Aufrichtmaschine as described in the Swiss patent application no. 1132/07 is described.
  • the chassis 11 can also be combined with a usual for ordinary wheelchairs seat device.
  • the vehicle can also be designed for other purposes, for example as a golf cart.
  • the chassis 11 has a front part 21 and a rear part 23, which are connected by means of a hinge 25 hinged together.
  • the center wheels 13 are each by a motor 27 (only one is in Fig. 1 visible) can be separately driven by a motor.
  • the front wheels 15 are driven by a motor. This significantly improves the off-road capability of the vehicle. It is essential, however, that the drive of the front wheels 15 takes place separately from each other. Thus, when the front wheels 15 in the standing position of the user in opposite directions are rotated, the user is pivoted about its own axis. This makes it easier for the user to perform activities standing.
  • the front part 21 forms a two-armed lever.
  • the center wheels 13 and the other arm 31 the front wheels 15 are arranged.
  • spring means 33 for example a coil spring or a spring joint element
  • the two-armed lever 21 is biased against a preferably made of elastomeric material stop 35 on the rear part 23 to keep the front wheels 15 when driving on a flat roadway normally out of contact with the ground.
  • the front wheels 15 can come into contact with the road and participate in the braking process.
  • the two-armed lever 21 is cushioned by the spring 33, so that the user feels no shock.
  • Fig. 7 It can be seen that the footrest 48 can be generous dimensional, because the front wheels 15 are not designed as swivel wheels.
  • the motor 27 For driving the Mittenrads 13, the front wheel 15 and optionally an auxiliary wheel 43 of each side of the vehicle, the motor 27 is provided.
  • the center wheel 13 and the front wheel 15 are connected by an endless chain 45 with each other in operative connection.
  • endless toothed belts, gear drives, cardan shafts or other devices It would also be possible to use endless toothed belts, gear drives, cardan shafts or other devices.
  • Fig. 8 shows, two rear wheels 17 are advantageously arranged on a rocker 49, which are pivotable about a central pivot axis 51.
  • pivot axis 51 may serve a spring joint element, for example of the type ROSTA.
