The development process of electric wheelchair

1. The electric wheelchair was invented around the beginning of the 20th century. The United States issued the first patent certificate for electric wheelchairs in 1940.

2. But the initial products were not paid much attention: because the early products were bulky, high cost, lack of efficiency, and relatively low reliability, so they were not taken seriously.

3. After the Second World War, a large number of surviving disabled people surged, and the market demand suddenly increased.

4. In the 1960s and 1970s, the stability of the controller was gradually improved, and some special control interfaces were successfully developed.

5. In the 1980s, due to the microprocessor and its application in the manufacture of controllers, the controllability and stability were greatly improved.

In the 1960s and 1990s, the development of electric wheelchairs was mainly in the improvement of structural design, including:

(1) Various skeletons specially designed for electric wheelchairs.

(2) The design that the seat system is separated from the transmission base.

(3) The design of transmission wheels in different positions.

With the advancement of technology, the design of electric wheelchairs is becoming more and more sophisticated, and the design of electric wheelchairs is becoming more and more lightweight. The small wheels are suitable for indoor and outdoor activities, and can be used for activities in public places and on uneven bumpy roads.
