Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an automobile that can be driven by a physically disabled person using a wheelchair.

Even physically disabled people who use wheelchairs can drive their own vehicles by modifying the vehicle's control system.

Conventionally, in this type of car, people enter the driver's seat directly from outside the car, then pick up the wheelchair and pull it into the car, but in this case, it takes a lot of effort for the disabled person to put the wheelchair in and take it out. This was inconvenient as it required a separate person to put in and take out the item.

This invention allows a disabled person who drives the vehicle to enter and exit the vehicle while remaining in a wheelchair without the help of others.
Moreover, the present invention provides an automobile in which it is easy to transfer to the driver's seat.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates an automobile main body, and its driver's seat 2 is rotatably provided on a floor 5 and can be locked at a desired position by an operating lever 2a.

Parasensor seats 3 on the sides of the tribird's seat 2 are provided so as to be movable in the front-rear direction, and rear seats 4 behind these are provided so as to be foldable left and right.

Thus, a rear part of the floor 5 is separated, and a lift floor 5a is provided which is movable up and down from a plane parallel to the floor 5 to the ground.

A sub-floor 6 is connected to the rear end of the lift floor 5a, and is foldable in a direction perpendicular to the same plane as the lift floor 5a.

The lifting/lowering device for the lift floor 5a may be driven by a motor powered by a batch-no-power source, or, as shown in the figure, a hydraulic pump 7 is manually operated to generate hydraulic pressure with a lever 8, and a position control lever 9 is used to lock the lift and lock the lift floor 5a. It may also be performed in a downward motion.

It goes without saying that the vehicle according to the present invention is of a type that has an opening/closing door at the rear.

Although the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, when entering the vehicle, the lift floor 5a, which has been raised to the same plane as the floor 5, is lowered to the ground by operating the control lever 9 at the rear of the vehicle while in a wheelchair. , expand subfloor 6.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2, the user gets on the lift floor 5a in the wheelchair, operates the hydraulic pump 7 with the operating lever 8, raises it to the same level as the floor 5, and locks it with the control lever 9.

Next, the subfloor 6 is folded at right angles, the door is closed, and the wheelchair goes straight to the driver's seat. If the rear seat 4 has been folded in advance, the vehicle continues as it is, but if it is not folded, it folds left and right to create a passage. .

The parasensor seat 3 and the driver's seat 2 are arranged in such a way that the parasensor seat 3 and the driver's seat 2 are in a position where the parasensor seat 3 has been moved forward and the driver's seat 2 has been rotated diagonally backward as shown in the figure. At this position, the wheelchair moves to the rear of passenger seats 1 to 3, transfers from the wheelchair to the driver's seat 2, and locks the rotation forward with the operating lever 2a.

Further, when the parasensor seat 2 and the tribird's seats 1 to 2 are in the normal position, the parasensor seat 3 is moved forward, and then the tribird's seat 2 is rotated and transferred.

If the wheelchair is left in its current position using an arbitrary locking device, or folded and placed between the rear seats 4, seating for four people including the disabled person can be ensured as shown in FIG.

Alighting is performed in the reverse order of boarding.

In this way, the present invention makes it possible to get in and out of the car while in a wheelchair and to easily get in and out of the driver's seat, which not only ensures safety, but also allows the person to get in and out of the car by himself or herself without relying on the help of others. It has the advantage of being able to get on and off with the vehicle.

Also, it should be noted that the lift floor for raising and lowering wheelchairs is essentially made up of the vehicle floor with the rear part of the vehicle floor itself separated, so it is difficult to use the lift floor that raises and lowers wheelchairs. It has the advantage that it is safe because it does not protrude outward from the vehicle body, and it fits within the standard dimensions of the vehicle body.

Furthermore, it can be used not only for people with disabilities, but also for general use to load heavy and large cargo, and by manufacturing it as a general vehicle, the high cost of a special vehicle can be avoided.
