Stair climbing wheelchair and stair climbing method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of stair climbing devices, in particular to a stair climbing wheelchair.
Background
The economy of China in the 21 st century is more and more developed, but the China gradually enters a society with aging population; meanwhile, the number of handicapped people due to various disasters, diseases, traffic accidents, and the like is increasing year by year. Both elderly and disabled people suffer from different degrees of disability. For people with inconvenient lower limbs, the people can have a series of difficult traveling problems such as inconvenient walking and difficulty in climbing stairs. The service and care of this group of people will become a major social problem in the future.
Aiming at the situation, a plurality of wheelchairs capable of climbing stairs are designed by various large research institutions, colleges and universities at home and abroad to meet the needs of people, but the wheelchairs often have the following defects:
① when climbing stairs, the current wheelchair climbs stairs from the back end of the wheelchair, and the stairs are buckled by the caterpillar band whose back end is tilted upwards to climb the stairs, but the front end of the wheelchair is usually circular arc-shaped and is not tilted upwards, so when climbing stairs in narrow corridor, if the front end of the wheelchair is facing the corridor, it is difficult to climb the stairs, which results in that it takes a lot of time to adjust the position of the wheelchair.
② present building wheelchair that climbs adopts the power usually as the driven energy, if forget to charge and lead to the power not enough, just take place the insufficient current phenomenon very easily when climbing the building, if climb to the building process when half, the power is not enough to support the track and last up climbing, then the wheelchair will move down very probably, the very little region can at first collide with ground in the circular arc front end of track this moment, cause great impact, not only can destroy ground, the track, cause the impact to the wheelchair, if should strike enough or ground have fluctuation, wheelchair upset phenomenon can even take place.
The two reasons are not good for the physical and psychological health of the old and the disabled. It is therefore desirable to design a stair climbing wheelchair that avoids the above-mentioned problems.
Disclosure of Invention
One of the purposes of the invention is to solve the problem that the wheelchair can not climb from the front end of the wheelchair in a narrow space due to the arc-shaped structure fixed at the front end of the crawler and can move downwards to have strong impact with the ground due to the phenomenon of power loss when climbing up from the rear end of the wheelchair in the prior art.

The front gear 24, the rear gear 21, the first transmission gear 30 and the second transmission gear 72 are all bevel gears.
A method of climbing stairs, comprising the steps of:
when the front end of the wheelchair faces stairs, the second driving device 50 is started to drive the first transmission part 51 to rotate, so as to drive the first rotating part 52 to rotate, further enable the first rotating part 52 to drive the swinging wheel 54 to rotate upwards around the central axis of the adjusting and controlling wheel 53 to form a certain angle, enable the angle to be consistent with or close to the angle of the stairs, and finally enable the crawler 40 to be in an upwards tilting state.
When the front end of the wheelchair climbs a building, the first driving device 20 is started, the driving rear gear 21 drives the first transmission gear 30 to rotate, the first transmission gear 30 drives the driving wheel 31 to rotate, the crawler 40 is driven to rotate, and the front end of the crawler 40 buckles the steps of the stair and climbs along the stair.
When the rear end face of the wheelchair faces the stairs, the caterpillar 40 is buckled on the steps of the stairs through the upward tilting angle formed by the driven wheel 32 and the driving wheel 31, and the caterpillar 40 is driven to climb along the stairs through the first driving device 20.
When power shortage occurs in the wheelchair stair climbing, the second driving device 50 is started to drive the first rotating part 52 to drive the swinging wheel 54 to rotate upwards around the central axis of the regulating wheel 53 to form a preset angle, the preset angle is flush with the ground or the preset angle is close to the horizontal plane of the ground, so that the power shortage occurs in the wheelchair stair climbing, and when the wheelchair stair climbing moves to the ground, a certain buffering effect is realized.
Preferably, during the wheelchair climbing stairs, the first telescoping mechanism 60 is started to press the pushing part 42 and the stabilizing plate 41 downwards to push the caterpillar track 40 downwards, and the first telescoping mechanism 60 obtains a reaction force when pushing the caterpillar track 40, so that the first telescoping mechanism 60 pushes the support 10 reversely, and the support 10 achieves the balance of the horizontal plane.
Preferably, before the wheelchair climbs stairs, the second telescoping mechanism 26 is activated to push the outer tube 22 to slide linearly on the inner tube 23, so that the rear gear 21 on the outer tube 22 engages with the first transmission gear 30 to drive the crawler 40, and if the wheelchair finishes climbing stairs, the second telescoping mechanism 26 is activated to pull the outer tube 22 to slide linearly on the inner tube 23, so that the front gear 24 on the outer tube 22 engages with the second transmission gear 72, so that the driving wheel 70 travels on the flat ground.
Preferably, when the wheelchair is going to finish climbing stairs, the third driving device 80 is started to drive the threaded rod 81 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise in the threaded cylinder 91 on the lifting mechanism 90, so as to drive the lifting mechanism 90 to advance or retreat in a screwing-in or screwing-out manner, wherein when the lifting mechanism 90 advances or retreats, the driven block 92 on the lifting mechanism 90 slides in the sliding slot 101 on the casing 100, when the driven block 92 slides to the front end or the rear end of the sliding slot 101 along the sliding slot 101, the driven block 92 is compressed by the reaction force of the front end or the rear end of the sliding slot 101, the distance between the driven blocks 92 is shortened, and at this time, the telescopic link 94 is pushed by the driven block 92 to move downwards and push the auxiliary wheel 95 to contact the ground.
Preferably, when the wheelchair is going upstairs, the fourth driving device 110 is activated to rotate the second transmission portion 111 and further the second rotation portion 112, so that the driving wheel 70 rotates upward and the caterpillar 40 contacts the ground or stairs.
