What kinds of stair climbing electric wheelchairs are there?
The stair-climbing electric wheelchair can help the elderly go up and down the stairs, avoiding the elderly who live in the stair room and cannot go out for a long time. - Generally speaking, there are three main types of stair-climbing electric wheelchairs on the market:
3. Step by step support
The walking support type climbing wheelchair has a history of nearly a hundred years in foreign countries. Through continuous evolution and improvement, it has become one of the most secure and complex transmission mechanisms among all forms of climbing wheelchairs. The principle is to simulate the human body's climbing behavior, supported alternately by two sets of support devices to achieve the function of climbing up and down stairs. Compared to other types, the safety of the walking support type climbing wheelchair is higher, and it has been widely used in developed countries abroad. However, due to its complex transmission mechanism, China does not yet master this technology. Especially, the intelligent safety alarm and step anti slip braking technology of the step supported climbing wheelchair are not yet mastered by relevant domestic manufacturers. Due to the complex and highly integrated modular structure of the transmission mechanism of the stepper supported climbing wheelchair, coupled with the use of large, high hardness, and lightweight materials, the cost is high. Nevertheless, the government and families of people with disabilities will prioritize safer climbing wheelchairs over cheaper ones in order to ensure the absolute safety of people with disabilities and the elderly when going upstairs and downstairs. I believe that with the reliability and safety of the height of the step supported climbing wheelchair, it will gradually become the mainstream climbing wheelchair in the future to serve more disabled and elderly groups.
