Manual wheelchair structure 3

Since the price of manual wheelchairs is relatively cheap, manual wheelchairs are still the main force in the market. Compared with electric wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs are not only more affordable, but also suitable for self-care,

Use by people with reduced mobility who are more mobile. What are the structural components of a manual wheelchair?

4. Tires

There are three types: solid, inflatable inner tube and tubeless inflatable type. The solid type walks faster on flat ground and is not easy to explode, and is easy to push, but it vibrates greatly on uneven roads, and it is stuck in and out.

It is not easy to pull out when the tire is in the groove with the same width; the one with the inflatable inner tube is more difficult to push and is easy to puncture, but the vibration is smaller than that of the solid one.

Also inflatable, comfortable to sit on, but harder to push than solid ones.

5. Braking

The large wheels should have brakes on each wheel. Of course, when a hemiplegic can only use one hand, he has to use one hand to brake, but an extension rod can also be installed to control the brakes on both sides.

There are two types of brakes:

(1) Notched brakes. This brake is safe and reliable, but more laborious. After adjustment, it can also brake on slopes. If it is adjusted to level 1 and cannot brake on flat ground, it will be invalid.

(2) Toggle brake. Utilizing the principle of leverage, through several joints and then braking, the academic advantage is stronger than that of the notch brake, but the failure is faster. brakes for larger patients

To reduce the force, an extension rod is often added to the brake, but this rod is easy to damage, and if it is not checked frequently, it will affect safety.
