Project Summary

Our Aim is to design a new mechanical system of an electric wheelchair to help people stand up. The modular wheelchair allows user t? use his/her own muscle power ?nd bodyweight in ??er?ting the wheelchair from ? sitting ??siti?n t? ? st?nding ??siti?n. Nowadays, standing wheelchair is developed as a new kind of wheelchair. If the patient wants to reach a higher position or move from chair to bed, even deliver a speech at podium, he or she will be willing to form a standing up process. At this time, standing wheelchair will help him or her to accomplish this goal.

Project Objectives

The wheelchair we designed will overcome difficulties as follow. The first is designing structures that can perform a natural human standing behavior. Next is to determine the energy system that provides the power to change the form of the wheelchair operational part. Third is to briefly design the controlling system to monitor the wheelchair’s working.The objective of this project is to design an automatic mechanical wheelchair. This wheelchair helps those who are elder, weak or patients in rehabilitation.

Project Implementation Method

The objective of this thesis is to design an automatic mechanical wheelchair. This wheelchair helps those who are elder, weak or patients in rehabilitation. The wheelchair we designed will overcome difficulties as follow. The first s designing structures that can perform a natural human standing behaviour. Next is to determine the energy system that provides the power to change the form of the wheelchair operational part. Third is to briefly design the controlling system to monitor the wheelchair’s working.

Benefits of the Project

The wheelchair we designed will overcome difficulties as follow. The first is designing structures that can perform a natural human standing behaviour. Next is to determine the energy system that provides the power to change the form of the wheelchair operational part. Third is to briefly design the
controlling system to monitor the wheelchair’s working.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The 2 main actuators used in electric standing wheelchair are,geared dc  motor and linear dc motor powered by 24V battery.

The patient will control the wheelchair by using joystick that will provide data input to the Arduino, and then the data will be processed and received to the motor driver.  

 After that, the motor driver will activate the dc geared motor so that the wheelchair can move in desired position.

As for transforming to stand position or vice versa using a switch that is directly connected to dc linear motor.

The working mechanism of the linear dc motor is that, it will push the frame up, so it changes the shape of the wheelchair and it goes into the standing position. 

The speed response of this linear dc motor should not be too fast so the desired movement will give a person a feedback, help to achieve desired position
