Development of detachable power assist system for the wheelchair which can be supported for independence and self^support of the user

1. 研究要点轮椅是下肢残疾人和老年人使用的良好福利设备。而且，它历史悠久，诚信高。因此，它成为了残疾人的象征标志。目前轮椅重量轻，可以小转弯，而且有康复效果。因此，方便在家庭和医院使用。但是，它成为用户的身体负担，当长途购物等。这样的时间。电动轮椅可以减轻使用者的身体负担，但失去了康复效果。因此，简易可拆卸式轮椅电动辅助系统是一种有效的轮椅辅助系统。本课题旨在开发便于拆卸的轮椅助力系统。每年的研究成果(1)1997：第一年对轮椅动力辅助系统进行了参考。实验制作了用于旅行数据采集的轮椅。进行了各种出行环境下的驾驶实验。1998年：第2年。旅行数据被绘制在计算机中。设计了动力辅助系统，并进行了实验生产。确认了动力辅助系统的运行情况。(3) 1999年：去年对动力辅助系统进行了改进，并实现了改进效果。进行了动力辅助系统的评估实验。总结及未来发展3年的研究目的已达成。希望今后能将这一成果转化为实际应用。

1. Research pointThe wheelchair is good welfare equipment which leg handicapped and old people use. And, it have long history and the integrity is high. Therefore, it becomes a symbol-mark of the disabled. Present wheelchair is light weight and the small turn is possible, besides there is the rehabilitation effect. Therefore, it is convenient in order to use in home and hospital. But, it become the physical burden of the user, when long distances such as shopping. Such time. The motoerized wheelchair can reduce the physical burden of the user, but the rehabilitation effect is lost. Then, the simply detachable electric power assist system in the wheelchair is effective system which can support wheelchair users. This study aimed the development of easy detachable power assist system for the wheelchair.2. Research result of each years(1) 1997: 1st yearThe reference on the power assist system of the wheelchair was carried out.The wheelchair for the travel data collection was produced experimentally.The driving experiment under all travel environments was carried out.(2) 1998: 2nd yearThe travel data was mapped in the computer.The power assist system was designed, and it was produced experimentally.The operation of the power assist system was confirmed.(3) 1999: last yearThe power asist system was improved, and it's the improvement performace was realize.The evaluation experiment of power assist system was carried out.3. Summary and future developmentResearch purpose for the 3 years was achieved. It wants to turn this result to the practical application in future.
