Description

Electrical Motorcycle Ambulance

Electric ambulance motorcycle, which is all electric includes a large power supply (battery), 3 wheels with brushless electric motor, seat, rear door, stretcher, emergency equipment box, ventilation and door where the equipment is located. The dimensions of this motorcycle causes it is easy to cross narrow and narrow alleys and is used in urban traffic or remote areas with low facilities. Due to its self-propelled and power transmission to all three wheels, this device is able to move on slippery and uneven paths (sandy, mud, icy and snowy).

This motorcycle has all the necessary equipment for an ambulance, so that it has equipment such as central oxygen capsule, suction, electric shock, ventilator, pulse oximeter, etc. For air exchange, an air inlet path is installed with a filter, and to have a suitable cabin temperature in hot or cold seasons, you can use a heater or air conditioner inside the chamber and also a CCTV camera is placed in the cabin to know the condition of the injured which is checked by the injured status monitor.

Human necessities (A) - medical or veterinary science; hygiene (A61)

No native model was available previously. However, the motorcycle ambulances currently available at the country’s medical fleet are equipped with advanced medical equipment, such as an ECG and monitoring devices and defibrillators, which simultaneously sends the patient’s signal to the 115 unit, asking for instructions from the medical staff. These means motorcycle ambulances are not capable of carrying and transporting patients to the hospitals and are used only for in-situ relief provision cases.

While in our proposed plan, patients’ transportation is also considered. In contrast to the currently available fleet of motorcycle ambulances which are gasoline-based and pollute the environment, our invention utilizes electrical engines.

An invention patent titled “Patient Transport Vehicle” has issued with ID No. of 20100213731. This invention is a medical transporting motorcycle with two to three wheels and consists of a horizontal platform that is placed between the wheels and extends from the rear wheels to the front wheels. This motorcycle has the capacity of two people including the patient and the driver. This vehicle provides safe and stable transportation of the patient, in a way that the driver will have a complete field of view of his surroundings. This vehicle has a movable chair and a trunk dedicated to emergency medical equipment. The difference between this invention and ours is that we will have access to full equipment, equivalent to the equipment of an ambulance in our invention and that the engine it utilizes is an electrical engine, which can provide the needed electric current for its electrical equipment. While in the above-mentioned invention, the motorcycle ambulance is only suitable for transporting patients and has limited medical equipment.

Another invention patent has issued in china with the ID of cn105292336a that is inapplicable due to its abnormal dimensions, an unstable center of gravity, unsafe patients’ transportation in bad weather conditions, and not equipped with emergency medical supplies.

Another invention patent titled “Powered Patient Transport Vehicle” has issued with the ID No. of 8113305. This invention equipped with enhanced movement control and consists of an extended frame, which encloses the whole vehicle. The wheel is located at the outset of the frame and the engine rotates the gears with the differential gearbox. An electrical control consists of a control lever for controlling velocity, direction, and the brakes of the engine. A chair has installed for passenger transportation, from which a steering strip has attached to provide control over the vehicle. This motorized invention is for carrying patients but has no driver and its destinations are usually short, which will make it more suitable to be used in hospitals. While our motorcycle ambulance is a fully-equipped ambulance and is suitable for patient transportation in long distances.

One of the most important medical issues nowadays, is the on-time transportation of injured and ill people to the hospital, since any delay in their transportation may lead to death. In some old narrow streets and alleyways, motorcycles can be of great help by being able to easily cross those narrow paths and starting treatment immediately, where typical ambulances can’t access. This vehicle is a fully electrical ambulance (a medical transporting vehicle) at the size of a motorcycle, which has three wheels and each of them are considered individual electrical motors that gain their thrusts from a large power supply (battery) that is located at the upper middle of the vehicle. Two wheels are located at the far end of the vehicle and one is located in front of it. There’s a large space between the wheels so that a stretcher and the patient can be placed there. Also, all essential equipment of an ambulance (central oxygen capsule, suction, defibrillator, ventilator, pulse oximeter, etc.) can be stored in this vehicle.

One of the most important medical issues nowadays, is the on-time transportation of injured and ill people to the hospital, since any delay in their transportation may lead to death. From the reasons for the delay, heavy traffic in the streets can be mentioned, which motorcycles can pass through without any problems. In addition to the heavy traffic, in some old narrow streets and alleyways, motorcycles can be of great help by being able to easily cross those narrow paths and starting treatment immediately, where typical ambulances can’t access.

Also, many natural and unnatural disasters annually occur in our country, such as road accidents, floods, earthquakes, droughts, etc. which all of them may have their own magnitudes. To be prepared for such disasters, be able to prevent them, and reduce casualties, we need to think of relief provision solutions ahead of time. Since many regions in our country are remote, in case of disasters like earthquakes, roads connecting them to large urban areas are subject to landslides which will disrupt relief provision. This may lead to delayed relief provision. The motorcycle ambulance however, is able to cross such harsh environments and reach those remote places in time. Also, since they’re cheap, many of them can be dispatched at once, solving the ambulance shortage issue. The goal of this invention is to solve the mentioned issues, and since these motorcycles are electrical, they do not pollute the environment, reducing air pollution as well as the heavy traffic.

Solution of problem

This vehicle is a fully-electrical ambulance (a medical transporting vehicle) at the size of a motorcycle, which has three wheels and each of them is considered individual electrical motors that gain their thrusts from a large power supply (battery) that is located at the upper middle of the vehicle. Two wheels are located at the far end of the vehicle and one is located in front of it. There’s a large space between the wheels so that a stretcher and the patient can be placed there. Also, all essential equipment of an ambulance (central oxygen capsule, suction, defibrillator, ventilator, pulse oximeter, etc.) can be stored in this vehicle. This vehicle has the capacity of a patient on a stretcher, the driver, and a passenger (doctor’s assistant), and is the best vehicle for relief provision in high-traffic urban areas or remote regions with low equipment since it has better control over uneven and harsh environments due to its three-wheel drive availability. Its dimensions are as follows: length=245cm, width=85cm, height=145cm (with the maximum height of the patient being 190cm).

Because of the layout of the wheels (two of them at the back and one in the front), utilization of the brushless electric engine, and its battery thrust source, it can provide spacious space for storing full medical supplies, carrying an injured person on a stretcher, a driver, and a doctor’s assistant. Gasoline-based motorcycles can’t be very spacious since the engine and the thrust system is large. Also, unlike their electric counterparts, they are very noisy. In this motorcycle, full safety can be provided for the injured person and all the standard equipment of an ambulance can also be stored within it. Its dimensions, equivalent to a typical emergency motorcycle, has led it to be able to easily pass through heavy traffic and narrow paths to reach its destinations much faster, and thanks to its three-wheel drive, harsh road conditions like sandy, muddy, snowy, and frozen paths can be crossed without any problem.

Having a dedicated space for its large power source (battery), this electrical vehicle is capable of crossing large-span areas and can provide comfortable transportation for its passengers. Another advantage of having this battery is that it can provide the needed power for the medical supplies stored within it, like the defibrillator, suction, ventilator, etc. which in return, will result in the reduced bulkiness of those medical supplies, no need for checking their power source regularly and reduced costs in overall. An oxygen capsule is stored in the middle of its frame that can be replaced from a side door. In its main body, top of the right rear wheel, a filtered vent is placed to provide air circulation. To have a suitable cabin temperature in the hot or cold season, a heater or an air conditioner can be used inside the compartment. With a CCTV system and a monitor, the condition of the patient being transported to the hospital can be informed simultaneously.
