A deck plate 114 may be covered over the bow of the canoe to improve hull stability and speed. In addition, a bow chair 115 on which the user can sit may be formed on the bow of the canoe, and a stern chair 116 on which the user can sit on the stern of the canoe may be formed. The bow chair 115 is fixedly formed, and the stern chair 116 is connected by a hinge so as to be capable of pivoting in the upward direction. When the wheelchair enters the inside of the canoe body 110, the stern chair 116 turns upward so that the wheelchair can easily enter.

A stabilizer 117 may be connected to at least one side of the canoe body 110 by a connector 118 . The stabilizer 117 prevents the canoe from overturning by balancing the left and right vibrations of the canoe.

In addition, the canoe body 110 may further include a wheelchair partition 119 . After entering the inside of the canoe body 110 , the wheelchair partition 119 may secure a safe distance between a plurality of wheelchairs fixed to the rail 120 by the wheelchair locking unit 130 . The wheelchair partition 119 may be two plates installed with a hinge on the upper side 112 . When entering the wheelchair, the two boards may be rotated downward or upward to secure a wheelchair entry path, and after the wheelchair is fixed by the wheelchair locking unit 130, it may be connected and fixed to each other by turning in the reverse direction.

The rail unit 120 is formed on the floor 111 . The rail unit 120 includes a pair of rails installed to be spaced apart from each other by a distance between the wheelchair wheels so that the pair of wheelchair wheels can move in the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, a wheelchair is provided with wheels for various purposes such as a push wheel, a front wheel, and a large wheel, but in the present specification, the wheelchair wheel means a large wheel used for movement. The rail unit 120 may be configured in an engraved shape that can accommodate a wheelchair wheel, or may be configured in an embossed shape that can guide both sides of the wheelchair wheel.

A wheelchair locking unit 130 is formed at a predetermined position of the pair of rails. At least one wheelchair locking unit 130 may be formed at a predetermined interval. 1 illustrates that four wheelchair locking units 130 are formed. The wheelchair locking unit 130 may fix the wheelchair wheel to the rail unit 120 to securely fix the wheelchair to the canoe body 110 . It is sufficient if the wheelchair locking unit 130 is a fastening means capable of fixing the wheelchair wheel to the rail. For example, the wheelchair locking unit 130 may be a fastening means such as a belt, a chain, a clamp, or Velcro.

The transom unit 140 (transom) is formed at the rear of the canoe body 110, and can open and close the rear of the canoe body according to the entry and exit of the wheelchair. The transom unit 140 may be a plate material hinged to the lower end of the rear of the canoe body 110 .

When entering the wheelchair, the transom unit 140 pivots to open the rear of the canoe body 110, and turns to close the rear of the canoe body 110 after entering the wheelchair.

In addition, the transom unit 140 may include a pair of rail guides 141 . The rail guide 141 may be connected to the rail unit 120 . The rail guide 141 is formed to have a narrow width at one end and a wide width at the other end. Here, one end is a portion connected to the rail of the rail unit 120 , and the other end is the opposite end, which is a portion first contacted when the wheelchair enters the canoe body 110 . The rail guide 141 is formed in a shape corresponding to the rail shape of the rail unit 120 . That is, if the rail shape is embossed, the rail guide 141 is also embossed, and if the rail shape is embossed for guiding both sides of one wheelchair wheel, the rail guide 141 is also embossed.

Such a rail guide 141 assists the disabled or the mobility-impaired using a wheelchair to accurately seat the wheelchair wheel on the rail. When entering the wheelchair into the canoe body 110, the disabled (or an assistant who pushes the wheelchair) must precisely match the position of the wheelchair wheel and the rail in order to seat the wheelchair wheel on the rail. It can be a very heavy burden for (or an assistant pushing a wheelchair).

When entering the wheelchair, first align the position of the wheelchair wheel with the wide part of the rail guide 141, and then enter as it is, the width of the rail guide 141 gradually narrows, so that the position of the wheelchair wheel and the position of the rail can be naturally aligned. , the convenience of use for people with disabilities, etc. can be improved.

According to the wheelchair fixed canoe according to an embodiment of the present invention as described above, it is possible to easily enter the wheelchair into the canoe, and since the wheelchair is firmly fixed inside the canoe, even the disabled or the mobility-impaired can enjoy the canoe.

Next, a wheelchair fixed canoe according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3 . 3 is a block diagram illustrating an automatic control process of a wheelchair fixed canoe according to another embodiment of the present invention.

In the wheelchair fixed canoe of the above-described embodiment, the locking operation of the wheelchair locking unit 130 or the opening and closing operation of the transom unit 140 are performed by a manual operation of the operator, but in this embodiment, the wheelchair locking unit 130, the transom unit The operation of 140 is automatically performed.

To this end, the wheelchair fixed canoe according to another embodiment of the present invention further includes a sensor unit (210: 211 to 214) and a control unit 220 in the wheelchair fixed canoe of the above-described embodiment. In addition, in this embodiment, the wheelchair locking unit 130: 131 to 134 and the transom unit 140 embed a communication chip for performing wired or wireless communication, and mechanically or electronically according to a control signal of the control unit 220 It works. For example, the wheelchair locking unit 130: 131 to 134 and the transom unit 140 may be designed to include a combination of a motor and a gear, or a mechanical/electronic actuator.

The sensor unit 210: 211 to 214 may be installed under at least one rail of the pair of rails constituting the rail unit 120 . The sensor units 210: 211 to 214 may be respectively formed under the rails at positions where the wheelchair locking units 130: 131 to 134 are installed. The sensor unit 210: 211 to 214 transmits sensing information for detecting the weight (weight) of the wheelchair passing the rail at the position where the wheelchair locking unit 130: 131 to 134 is installed to the controller 220 . The sensor unit 210: 211 to 214 is a sensor capable of detecting a weight is sufficient, and the type is not particularly limited.

The control unit 220 generates and transmits a control command for the wheelchair locking unit 130: 131 to 134 and a control command for the transom unit 140 based on the sensing information received from the sensor unit 210: 211 to 214 do. To this end, the control unit 220 may include a communication module 221 , a locking unit control module 222 , and a transom unit control module 223 .

The communication module 221 performs wired/wireless communication with the sensor unit 210 : 211 to 214 , the wheelchair locking unit 130 : 131 to 134 , and the transom unit 140 . The communication module 221 receives sensing information from the sensor unit 210: 211 to 214, and transmits a control command to the wheelchair locking unit 130: 131 to 134 and the transom unit 140.

The locking unit control module 222 generates a control command for the wheelchair locking unit 130: 131 to 134 based on the received sensing information. The locking unit control module 222 counts the number of times of sensing information (sensing event) transmitted from each of the sensors 211 to 214 constituting the sensor unit 210 to provide a control command for each of the wheelchair locking units 131 to 134 . create

When the transom unit 140 is opened, the wheelchair passes at least one of the sensors 211 to 214 while moving along the rail unit 120 . At this time, the number of sensing events of the sensors 211 to 214 varies according to the position at which the wheelchair is to be fixed.

For example, it is assumed that the wheelchair fixed canoe of this embodiment accommodates up to four wheelchairs. The wheelchair that enters first passes through the sensors 214, 213, and 212 and stops at the position of the sensor 211. The wheelchair that enters second passes through sensors 214 and 213 and stops at the position of sensor 212. The third wheelchair enters the sensor 214 and stops at the sensor 213 position. The wheelchair that finally enters is stopped at the sensor 214 position. At this time, each of the sensors 211 to 214 transmits sensing information to the communication module 221 whenever the weight of the wheelchair is sensed.

In the locking unit control module 222, information on the wheelchair locking units 130: 131 to 134 matching the number of sensing events from each sensor is stored in advance.

When the sensing information from the sensor 211 is received once, the locking unit control module 222 generates a control command for the wheelchair locking unit 131 installed at a position corresponding to the sensor 211 . The control command is a wheelchair locking command. When the sensing information from the sensor 212 is received twice, the locking unit control module 222 generates a control command for the wheelchair locking unit 132 installed at a position corresponding to the sensor 212 .

In this way, when the locking unit control module 222 receives the sensing information n times from the nth sensor from the bow, the control command for the nth wheelchair locking unit installed at the position corresponding to the nth sensor create

The transom unit control module 223 counts the lapse of time since the locking unit control module 222 generates a control command for the n-th wheelchair locking unit. When the elapsed time is equal to or greater than the reference time, the transom unit control module 223 generates a control command for causing the transom unit 140 to return to its original position (closed position). For example, when only 3 cars are boarded in a capacity of 4 cars, the locking unit control module 222 finally generates a control command for the third wheelchair locking unit, and no more control commands for the locking unit are generated. . Therefore, after boarding three cars, when the reference time passes, the transom unit 140 automatically generates a control command to close the rear of the canoe body 110 . The reference time is the normally required boarding time of the wheelchair, and may be set by an operator or a value by repeated experimentation may be input in advance.

The control command of the controller 200 may be similarly applied to the stun chair 116 and the wheelchair partition 119 . Of course, at this time, the stun chair 116 and the wheelchair partition 119 has a built-in communication chip for performing wired or wireless communication, and may operate mechanically or electronically according to a control signal of the controller 220 .

In addition, this control process of the controller 200 is useful when boarding a wheelchair, and when disembarking a wheelchair, opening of the transom unit 140 and sequential unlocking of the wheelchair may be performed by an operator's operation.

Above, an embodiment of the present invention has been described, but those of ordinary skill in the art can add, change, delete or add components within the scope that does not depart from the spirit of the present invention described in the claims. The present invention may be variously modified and changed by such as, and it will be said that it is also included within the scope of the present invention.
