本发明提供一种具有升降功能的轮椅，其不仅在室内，而且在室外，在运送轮椅使用者时辅助看护者。目标用户通常是上肢和下肢残疾的严重残疾人，因此在使用厕所或从床上转移到轮椅等时需要身体支撑。轮椅和升降机都由各自的电机驱动。由于大的驱动轮位于身体的前方，使用者可以从后面接近马桶或床的上方，并且座椅可以折叠。这种轮椅可以在公共道路上行驶，因为它有折叠框架的机制。本文介绍了一个全尺寸的原型轮椅与升降功能的概念设计和实验结果，证实了设计的有效性。
A wheelchair with a lifting function is designed to assist a caregiver when transferring a wheelchair user not only indoors but also outdoors. The target user is typically a severely disabled person with disabled upper and lower limbs and therefore needs the physical support when using a toilet or transferring from a bed to a wheelchair and so forth. Both the wheelchair and the lift are driven by their respective motors. The user can approach above the toilet stool or the bed from the rear because the large driving wheels are located in front of the body, and the seat can be folded. This wheelchair is allowed to travel on public roads because of the mechanism of folding the frame for lifting. This paper presents the concept design and the experimental results of a full-sized prototype wheelchair with the lifting function, which confirms the design effectiveness.
