Abstract

Ein Elektrorollstuhl 2 weist eine Steuerungseinrichtung 2 zur Ansteuerung von elektromotorisch betriebenen Baugruppen 16, 24, 26 des Rollstuhles 2 auf, die derart ausgebildet und programmiert ist, dass sie zwischen einem Betriebsmodus, in dem sich der Elektrorollstuhl in einem Betriebsmodus befindet, in dem die elektromotorisch betriebenen Baugruppen des Rollstuhles 2 betriebsbereit sind, und einem geschützten Einstellmodus umschaltbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß weist der Rollstuhl 2 eine Schnittstelle 28 zum Verbinden der Steuerungseinrichtung 14 mit einer Freischalteinrichtung auf, die ein dongleartiges Freischaltelement 30 aufweist, wobei die Steuerungseinrichtung 14 derart ausgebildet und programmiert ist und derart mit dem Freischaltelement 30 zusammenwirkt, dass bei über die Schnittstelle 28 mit der Steuerungseinrichtung verbundenem Freischaltelement 30 eine Umschaltung der Steuerungseinrichtung 14 aus dem Betriebsmodus in den Einstellmodus freigegeben und bei nicht verbundenem Freischaltelement eine Umschaltung der Steuerungseinrichtung 14 aus dem Betriebsmodus in den Einstellmodus gesperrt ist.An electric wheelchair 2 has a control device 2 for controlling electric motor-operated components 16, 24, 26 of the wheelchair 2, which is designed and programmed such that it can be switched between an operating mode in which the electric wheelchair is in an operating mode in which the electric motor-operated components of the wheelchair 2 are ready for operation, and a protected setting mode. According to the invention, the wheelchair 2 has an interface 28 for connecting the control device 14 to an activation device which has a dongle-like activation element 30, wherein the control device 14 is designed and programmed and interacts with the activation element 30 in such a way that when the activation element 30 is connected to the control device via the interface 28, switching of the control device 14 from the operating mode to the setting mode is enabled and when the activation element is not connected, switching of the control device 14 from the operating mode to the setting mode is blocked.
