This research is the second result concerned with control of driving wheelchairs and elevating seats. The standing and lifting seat elevation of wheelchairs with general wheel are controlled by motor speeds of rear wheels. The third wheelchair with mecanum wheels can make the translational motions and is controlled by different method which is designed and applied by the appropriate electrical logic circuits. Two general moving type wheelchairs and translational moving type wheelchair using mecanum wheel can drive with joy stick. All three wheelchiars' seat can be elevated by extra switches attached in chair. Finally, this research paper proposes the practical control method and electrical circuits of power wheelchairs.
Currently various kinds of wheelchair were developed and being sold in medical device market. This research is concerned with designing and making various types of moving and functional power wheelchairs. There are two kinds of general moving type wheelchairs and translational moving type wheelchair using mecanum wheel. Dynamic theory is used to check the motion analysis and safety of wheelchairs. The specific function of wheelchairs is to reach the higher position than the sitting position. And the new way of motion of wheelchair is developed by new type of wheel. This paper proposes the very economical and useful wheelchair model.
