Electric wheelchair is a special transportation tool for the elderly and disabled people with mobility difficulties. For these people, traffic is the real need, and safety is the first element. Are many people worried about the safety of elderly people driving electric wheelchairs? Today, let's talk about why the electric wheelchair is the most safe and reliable substitute for the elderly.
Why is a qualified electric wheelchair the most safe and reliable substitute for the elderly? What are the advantages of electric wheelchair for the elderly compared with other means of transportation?
1. Automatic brake electromagnetic brake
A qualified electric wheelchair is first equipped with electromagnetic brake to release the automatic brake and go uphill and downhill. The slope will not slip. It eliminates the unstable hands and feet of traditional electric wheelchairs and electric tricycles when braking, and has a higher safety factor; However, it should be noted that many electric wheelchairs on the market do not have electromagnetic brakes, and the braking effect and driving experience are relatively good. Poor;
2. Anti roll wheel
When driving on a flat road, any wheelchair can walk very smoothly, but for any wheelchair user, it is inevitable to encounter road scenes such as slopes and potholes when driving outdoors. In order to deal with this situation, there should be anti-dumping small wheels to ensure safety.
Generally, the anti roll wheels of electric wheelchairs are installed on the rear wheels. This design can effectively avoid the risk of falling backward due to unstable center of gravity when going uphill.
3. Anti skid tire
When encountering wet and slippery roads such as rainy days or going up and down steep slopes, a safe wheelchair is easy to stop, which is related to the anti-skid performance of tires.
The stronger the tire grip performance, the more stable the braking is, and it is not easy to stop and slip. Generally, the rear wheels of outdoor wheelchairs are designed wider and have more patterns.
4. The speed shall not exceed 6km / h.
The national standard stipulates that the speed of electric wheelchair shall not exceed 6 kilometers per hour. The speed is set to 6 because the road conditions are different in different places and user groups. The difference is very big, so that every elderly disabled person with mobility difficulties can travel safely.
5. Steering TDOA design.
Electric wheelchairs are generally rear wheel driven, and electric wheelchairs generally use dual motors. Both dual motor and single motor are controlled by the controller. Forward, backward, steering all operations. It can be realized by gently moving the controller to dry, which is easy to learn.
When turning, the left and right motors have different speeds. Adjust the speed according to the turning direction to avoid the wheelchair turning over, so in theory, the electric wheelchair will never turn over when turning.
If you understand the above aspects, you will know why electric wheelchairs are the safest and most reliable means of transportation for the elderly and the disabled.
