Detailed Description
In order to achieve the above object, a wheelchair braking system of the present invention includes: a brake formed on a tire of the wheelchair; and a brake operation control unit connected to the brake, for locking and unlocking the brake, wherein the brake is normally in a locked state, and performs a synchronous operation when a rider operates a safety device in a wheelchair, and the brake operation control unit detects the synchronous operation to control the brake to be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state.
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a device configuration view schematically showing a wheelchair according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, the wheelchair brake system of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a
The brake
That is, when the occupant is seated in the wheelchair, the brake switching means 120 switches the brake to the unlocked state, and when the occupant seated in the wheelchair is lifted from the wheelchair or the folded wheelchair is unfolded, the switching operation for switching the brake to the locked state is performed by returning the connection means to the original state.
More specifically, the
That is, the cable is constantly kept in a state where tension is applied so that the brake is locked, and thus the brake is constantly kept in an operating state. However, when the occupant is in the wheelchair, the cable is automatically pulled in the opposite direction to unlock the brake.
The brake switching member 120 may be non-electric or electric.
First, when the brake switching member 120 is a non-electric type, it may include: a detection frame formed at the lower part of the wheelchair seat and used for containing the other end of the cable in the interior in a fixed mode and connecting the other end of the cable with the wheelchair seat; and an upper plate coupled to the sensing frame, for converting a tension direction of the cable by applying pressure to the cable received in the sensing frame when the occupant sits on the wheelchair seat.
More specifically, the upper plate includes a cable housing portion, and the cable is in a state of not receiving a pressure applied by the cable housing portion in a state where the occupant is not seated in the wheelchair, and the upper plate moves downward and causes the cable housing portion to apply a pressure to the housed cable in a state where the occupant is seated in the wheelchair.
As described above, when the cable receives a pressure, a tension in the opposite direction to the brake is generated in the cable, and the locked brake is released to unlock the brake.
Therefore, the brake is always kept in the locked state in a state where the occupant is not in the wheelchair, and the brake is operated to be unlocked only when the occupant is in the wheelchair.
Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing an apparatus structure of a wheelchair according to still another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2, the
The
The connecting member has a central axis coincident with the central axis of the tire, and the central axis is connected to the brake of the tire via a cable.
Thus, when the occupant is not in the wheelchair, the brake is brought into the locked state by applying the initial tension, and when the occupant is in the wheelchair, the
Fig. 3 schematically shows a state in which the inspection frame and the upper plate of the preferred embodiment of the present invention are divided into a plurality of cells.
This embodiment shows the case where the upper plate is divided into 4 units, as shown in fig. 4, and may be divided into 2 units, and may be divided into a plurality of numbers according to design, as is apparent.
Referring to fig. 3, the inspection frame is divided into 4 units, and pulley assemblies are formed inside the respective units, and coupled to cables, which are coupling members, through the pulley assemblies.
The sheave assembly may include: the main pulley directly influences the locking and unlocking of the brake; and a sub-pulley which does not directly affect the locking and unlocking of the brake, but connects the cable by converting the direction of the cable.
2 of the main pulleys are formed in pairs of 4 units with a predetermined interval, and one of the main pulleys connects the rope to the brake through the sub-pulley in a state where the rope is wound at least once.
The number of the divided units is the same, the cable can also be composed of 4, each unit is combined with one cable, and in the 4 units, 2 cables are respectively connected with 2 brakes in a paired mode.
In this embodiment, the first rope combined with the first unit and the fourth rope combined with the fourth unit are connected with the first brake in a pair manner, and the second rope combined with the second unit and the third rope combined with the third unit are connected with the second brake in a pair manner.
At the beginning of the 4 cables, a thread adjusting part is formed, which can be used to adjust the tension of each cable.
Also, the upper plate is divided into 4. Each upper plate may include a cable receiving portion and a coupling member coupled to the sensing frame at a lower portion of the plate.
The coupling member is formed of a spring for elastic coupling and coupled to the sensing frame such that the upper plate can move up and down according to whether the occupant sits on the upper plate.
Further, the cable housing may include: a projecting rod projecting toward the lower portion of the plate; and a cable housing groove formed in the protrusion rod.
Since the rope housing grooves need to house the rope wound around the pair of main pulleys, 2 rope housing grooves can be formed as shown in fig. 2.
As described above, the upper plate is divided into 4, a pair of brakes are connected to 2 cables, respectively, and the brakes are unlocked if the tension of the brakes connected to the cables is adjusted to apply pressure to one of the 4 units.
For example, the brakes may be unlocked by adjusting the cable tension to apply pressure to one cell connected to a pair of brakes, respectively, or to release the brakes by applying pressure to 4 cells each.
Figure 5 schematically illustrates the actuation of the wheelchair brake of figure 3.
Referring to fig. 5, in an initial state where the occupant is not seated in the wheelchair, the brake is maintained in a locked state by maintaining the tension of the cable applied to the brake.
One end of the cable is combined with the brake, and the other end of the cable is connected with the cable adjusting part of the detection frame. The cable adjusting part has a structure capable of adjusting the tension of the cable by adjusting the screw thread, and functions as a fixed end, and the brake combining end as one end of the cable is an elastic end, so that the tension is converted into the opposite direction by the external force.
When the occupant is seated in the wheelchair, the upper plate elastically coupled to the sensing frame moves downward, and the cable accommodated in the accommodating groove of the cable accommodating portion is pressed downward.
As described above, when the cable is pressed downward, the main pulley rotates by a distance corresponding to the pressed force, and since the other end is a fixed end, tension is generated by pulling from the actuator coupling end, which is an elastic end, and the direction of the tension acting in the brake direction is changed to the opposite direction, so that the brake is changed from the locked state to the unlocked state.
Wherein the upper plate is divided into 4 units, one brake is in a state of being connected to 2 cables, and the 2 cables are connected to 2 units, so that, in the case where at least one of the 4 units is pressurized, the direction of tension applied to the brake is changed to unlock the brake, and thus, the brake is unlocked only in a state where the occupant is seated in the wheelchair.
In the 4 units, when the plurality of units are under pressure, whether to unlock the brake can be freely determined by adjusting the tension of the cable.
Figure 6 shows schematically the wheelchair in a folded condition.
Referring to fig. 6, in the case of the folding wheelchair, tension pulling the cable due to bending occurs, and since the other end is a fixed end, tension pulling from the brake coupling end, which is an elastic end, causes the direction of tension acting in the brake direction to be changed to the opposite direction, and the brake is changed from the locked state to the unlocked state.
Fig. 7 schematically shows a wheelchair brake system according to another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a detailed structural view of fig. 7.
Referring to fig. 7 and 8, in the wheelchair brake system according to the present invention, the brake may be formed of a blocking rod, and the blocking rod passes between the spokes and is caught by the spokes in a state where the occupant is not seated in the wheelchair, thereby maintaining the locked state of the wheelchair.
When the occupant is in the wheelchair, the stopper rod moves inward elastically and moves inward into the tire, and thus the brake is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state.
Wherein, the brake action control portion includes: a plate spring formed at a lower portion of the wheelchair seat; a gear box for converting the elastic force based on the plate spring into mechanical displacement; and an elastic member formed at a rear end of the gear case, the elastic member being compressed corresponding to a displacement converted by the gear case, thereby moving the blocking rod inward.
When the rider gets off the vehicle, the elastic force of the plate spring is removed to mechanically displace the gear assembly to return to the original position by the restoring force, and when the compressed elastic member returns to the original position by the restoring force, the blocking lever is switched to the locked state by passing the spoke.
In the following, the case where the brake switching member is an electric switching member is observed.
Fig. 9 schematically shows a wheelchair driven by an electric motor according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 9, a brake switching part of an embodiment of the present invention may include: a detection frame formed at the lower part of the wheelchair seat, for fixedly accommodating the other end of the cable therein, and having an electric driving part for converting the direction of tension by electrically rotating the cable; and an upper plate coupled to the detection frame and having a pressure detection sensor for detecting a wheelchair-riding motion of the rider.
The electric driving part may include: the electric pulley is used for converting the direction of the cable and rotating the cable; a motor for providing a rotational force for driving the electric pulley; and a driving controller for controlling a rotational force of the motor.
The driving controller may drive the motor by detecting a riding motion of the occupant from a pressure detection sensor provided in the upper plate, and rotate the electric pulley in a direction opposite to a direction of tension.
As a result, the tension acting in the brake direction is operated in the opposite direction, and the brake is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. Specifically, the brake locking and unlocking principle is the same as the mechanical type, and thus a detailed description will be omitted.
When the detected value of the pressure detection sensor changes due to the occupant getting off the wheelchair, the drive controller returns the electric pulley to the home position by rotating the electric pulley, thereby changing the direction of the tension to the direction of the brake again and changing the brake from the unlocked state to the locked state.
In which the sensing frame and the upper plate can be divided into a plurality of units as in the mechanical type to unlock and lock the brake only in the case where the occupant fully rides in the wheelchair or fully disembarks from the wheelchair.
The electric drive unit may further include sensor means such as an acceleration sensor and an inclination sensor.
Thus, the electric drive unit not only performs a simple switching operation for locking and unlocking the brake, but also automatically operates the brake for safety when the wheelchair is traveling at an excessive speed or in an inclined manner.
That is, in the case of a high speed or a downhill, when the sensor unit detects the above, the brake is not completely switched to the locked state, but a part of the brake is operated to provide a braking force to reduce the speed, thereby safely driving the wheelchair.
The electric drive unit further includes an acceleration sensor for measuring the speed of the wheelchair, and the electric drive unit drives the electric pulley to operate the brake when the speed exceeds a set speed (for example, when the speed is set within a range of 5km to 10km per hour).
Wherein the driving of the electric pulley is controlled by adjusting the locking degree of the brake to be braked according to the speed exceeded, whereby safe driving can be secured.
Fig. 10 schematically shows a brake according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The brake of the present invention may be in various forms, such as a brake plate-acting type as shown in fig. 10 (a), a caliper-acting type mainly applied to a stroller as shown in fig. 10 (b), a rim-braking type mainly applied to a bicycle as shown in fig. 10 (c), and a band-braking type as shown in fig. 10 (d).
Fig. 11 schematically shows a state in which a switching member according to still another embodiment of the present invention is configured by a safety lever or a safety belt as a safety device, fig. 12 to 15 are detailed views showing a case in which the switching member of fig. 11 is the safety lever, and fig. 16 to 18 are detailed views showing a case in which the switching member of fig. 11 is the safety belt.
Referring to fig. 11, in the wheelchair braking system of the present invention, the brake may be unlocked only in a case where the occupant of the wheelchair sits on the wheelchair and locks the safety lever or the safety belt.
The wheelchair braking system of the present invention comprises: a
The brake
That is, the brake switching means 120 performs a switching operation in which, when the occupant is coupled to the mounting device after riding in the wheelchair, the brake switching means 120 switches the brake to the unlocked state by applying pressure to the connection member to switch the tension applied to the brake in the opposite direction, and when the occupant riding in the wheelchair releases the safety device, the pressure applied to the connection member is removed to return the connection member to the original state in which the tension is applied in the brake direction by the restoring force, thereby switching the brake to the locked state.
More specifically, the
That is, the cable is constantly kept in a state where tension is applied so that the brake is locked, and thus the brake is constantly kept in an operating state. However, when the occupant is seated in the wheelchair and locks the safety lever or wears the safety belt, the cable is pressed and pulled in the opposite direction by a distance corresponding to the displacement of the cable due to the pressing force applied to the connecting member, thereby unlocking the brake.
The brake switching member 120 may be non-electric or electric.
In the present invention, the operation and effect of unlocking and locking the brake by adjusting the tension of the cable are the same except that the brake switching member 120 may be constituted by a safety lever, a safety belt, or a foot pedal described later.
Fig. 12 shows a wheelchair structure in which a safety lever is formed, the safety lever 121 functions as a brake switching member 120, and the brake maintains a locked state because the cable is pulled toward the brake before the safety lever 121 is locked.
One end of the cable is connected to the stopper so that the one end of the cable is a fixed end, but the other end can be combined with a tension adjusting member to adjust the tension.
Also, one end of the cable is coupled to the inside of the safety lever in combination with the brake, and is coupled to the tension adjusting part through a pulley.
As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the cable may further include a coupling portion integrally coupled with a brake cable coupled from a brake and a control cable coupled to the tension adjusting portion, and 2 brake cables may be operated together according to the operation of the control cable through the coupling portion.
When the occupant gets into the wheelchair and locks the safety lever 121, the control cable formed inside the safety lever is pressed and the tension adjusting unit connected by the pulley is in a fixed state, so that the cable in the brake cable direction is pulled and tension in the opposite direction is generated in the brake cable, and the tension of the cable is changed from the brake direction to the opposite direction, thereby changing the brake from the locked state to the unlocked state.
When the safety lever 121 is unlocked, the tension of the cable acting inside the safety lever is removed, and the tension of the cable is redirected toward the brake, thereby switching the brake from the unlocked state to the locked state.
Therefore, since the brake is unlocked only in a state where the occupant is seated in the wheelchair and locks the safety lever 121, the safety of the occupant can be further enhanced.
The embodiment of fig. 13 shows a wheelchair structure in which a seat belt is formed, the
The embodiment of fig. 13 operates in the same manner as the embodiment of fig. 11, and switches the direction of the tension applied to the brake depending on whether or not the safety belt is worn, so that the brake is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, and from the unlocked state to the locked state again.
In fig. 12 and 13, the seat belt is a buckle type seat belt, a cable connected to a brake is provided in a buckle input portion inside a coupling frame for fastening a
Since the cable inside the coupling frame is coupled by the plurality of pulleys, pulling the cable corresponds to a distance that the cable is displaced inward by the pressure applied to the cable by the
Fig. 18 schematically shows a harness according to a further embodiment of the invention.
Referring to fig. 18, the
More specifically, the guide member 123c includes a moving member 1231: the guide member 123C is mounted inside, and has 2 guide grooves A, B formed on the front and rear surfaces thereof so as to face each other, a front surface protruding portion C protruding upward of the front surface guide groove a and a rear surface protruding portion D protruding downward of the rear surface guide groove B and coupled to the cable, which are integrally formed, and the front surface protruding portion and the rear surface protruding portion are relatively moved along the guide grooves.
The moving
Since the
At this time, as the front surface protruding portion C moves downward, the rear surface protruding portion D, which moves relative to the front surface protruding portion C, moves upward along the rear surface guide groove B.
As a result, the cable coupled to the rear protrusion D is moved upward and pulled, and the direction of the cable tension generated in the direction of the brake is changed to the opposite direction, thereby changing the brake from the locked state to the unlocked state.
Next, when the
Fig. 19 to 21 schematically show the structure of the foot board of the present invention, which functions as a brake switching member.
In the embodiment of fig. 19 to 21, the foot pedal functions as a brake switching member, and in the case where the foot pedal is in the folded state, the brake maintains the locked state because the tension of the cable is directed toward the brake.
When the occupant takes the wheelchair and deploys the footrest, the cable formed in the footrest receives pressure, and pressure in the opposite direction is generated in the cable, and the tension of the cable is switched from the brake direction to the opposite direction, thereby switching the brake from the locked state to the unlocked state.
The embodiment of fig. 19 is the simplest embodiment, and the brake is locked by adjusting the tension of the cable toward the brake based on the state in which the pedal plate 124 is folded, and the brake is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state by pulling the cable when the pedal plate 124 is unfolded and thus applying the tension of the cable in a direction opposite to the brake to separate the brake plates.
More specifically, 2 cables may constitute the connecting
In the embodiment of fig. 20, the foot pedal 125 functions as a brake switching member 120, and a tension adjusting part 60 connected by a cable is further included between the foot pedal and the brake.
