Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an electric wheelchair, and more particularly, to an electric wheelchair capable of switching to a bed and a stand mode in which a user can maintain a lying or leaning state.
The demand for wheelchairs is increasing as the aging society is accelerating as the elderly population continues to increase. Here, a wheelchair refers to a chair with wheels, armrests, and backrests for the elderly, the handicapped and the patient to move, which is inconvenient.
1, the wheelchair includes a
However, since the wheelchair has to rotate the wheel by the force of the user, it has been difficult for the user who is inconvenienced to use the wheelchair alone. In order to solve the problem of using the conventional wheelchair, an electric wheelchair in which the wheel is rotated by receiving the rotational power of the electric motor has been developed and used.
Meanwhile, various wheelchair-related technologies that can perform a bed and stand-up (or stand) function in consideration of the convenience of the user have been proposed in general wheelchair and electric wheelchair in addition to general moving function. Here, the bed function is to easily move the user between the wheelchair and the bed, and the standing function is a function necessary to prevent the pressure ulcer due to a long sitting and prevent orthostatic hypotension.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a changeover type wheelchair which can change the structure of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0967989 can be switched to a bed function, and as shown in FIG. 3, Wheelchair has been proposed as a wheelchair-related technique that can be switched to a standing function.
However, the wheelchair according to the related art has been changed to a bed and a standing function in addition to a general moving function to improve the user's convenience. However, the first problem of the structural design is that a wheelchair capable of switching both a bed and a standing- Therefore, the inconvenience of users who have to use each wheelchair remains.
Second, the wheelchair, which is converted into a bed function, mostly depends on the manual method.
Third, the wheelchair which is converted to the standing function operates most of the motorized type, but when the standing type is switched to the standing type, the footrest and the legrest are located in front of the front wheel so that the load of the user is biased toward the front of the wheelchair, There is a lot of concern about falling.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the problems described above and to provide a method and apparatus for improving the convenience of a user in comparison with a wheelchair capable of switching between a bed mode and a stand mode, To provide an electric wheelchair.
Second, the bed mode and the stand mode are automatically switched by the electric system, so that the user can easily operate the electric wheelchair.
Thirdly, the present invention provides an electric wheelchair in which a load of a user is dispersed in a center direction of a wheelchair, as compared with a conventional standing-type wheelchair, in a stand mode, so that a wheelchair can be tilted or a user can be prevented from falling.
Other objects, specific advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description and preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In order to achieve the above object, the electric wheel chair of the present invention includes a pair of rear wheels (110) that are freely rotatable at their front ends and are linearly movable forward and rearward, and a pair of rear wheels (130
