ABSTRACT
The wheelchair is an auxiliary tool for people who have defective legs. In the viewpoint of mechanical efficiency, the typical manual wheelchair does not provide optimal efficiency, and the wheelchair occupant can¡¦t travel easier and faster for longer distances. The regular, standard manual wheelchair is only suitable for residential environment and short-distance movement, and it¡¦s unsuitable for outdoor long-distance movement. The purpose of this study is to design a new-pattern manual wheelchair for outdoor recreation and long-distance movement, so that the users can expand their living space beyond the residential areas. In order to enhance the efficiency of propulsion for manual wheelchairs, the new-pattern wheelchair has a new type of dive system. In this study , we will design a detachable drive mechanism for manual wheelchairs. The new-pattern wheelchair has two kinds of different propulsive modes, the wheelchair occupant can depend on his requirement to decide what propulsive mode he needs. At last, we hope that we can promote the performance of wheelchair effectively by means of study and design.,and that is the principal objective for this study.
