Design and Fabrication of Automatic Wheel-chair Convertible into Bed , Sitting and Standing mode

Project Title

Design and Fabrication of Automatic Wheel-chair Convertible into Bed , Sitting and Standing mode

Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject Summary

This project dwells on the implementation of automatic wheelchair convertible into sitting, standing and bed position. The automated wheelchair currently available in our domestic market are generally is for too and fro motion. The basic idea of over project is to aid the hospitalized, partially paralyzed patient for make their life ease. In this project we will use hydraulics actuator motors and PID controller for the changing the mode of wheelchair. The hydraulic will control its position, the actuator motor will assist the motion of wheelchair and PID controller will control the whole system in an automated way.

Project Objectives

1.  To design an automatic wheel chair that is automatically convertable into sitting, standing and in bed position.

2. To help the paramedics in their daily routine to deal with patients.

3. To help the injured and disable people in their movement and in body positioning.

2. To Fabricate a prototype

1. To make a wheel chair that is automatically convertable
2. To make a procuct that cost less as per the available automatic wheelchairs

Benefits of the Project

The Majour benifits of this procust are.

1. Help Injured and disable people for their body positioning and muscle movement
2. It will help the people who are completely on wheel chair to aid in their daily routine works.
3. It will help the medical staff to deal with old age people.
4. It will reduce the time of patient shifting from wheel chair to bed.
5. Capable of performing routine operatins like an automatic wheel chair.
6. It will help the disable people from a anxiety of their movement and let them move independently.
