Project Summary

Electro mechanical and electro electronic wheelchairs, called motorized wheelchairs, despite having the higher cost, have numerous advantages over the manual chair. Due the fact of work by self-propelled, their movement is totally independent of physics wheelchair force, as well as providing other devices, such as lifting system "stand-up", speed variation, differentiated gravity center for amputees, directional control for driving by third parties command for driving the jaw for quadriplegics, backrest cushion, basket for shopping, umbrella, table, backpack, fanny pack with urine collector, ankle tab, support for cane, crutch, bags, oxygen and serum among other facilitators devices. Currently the market has competitiveness among manufacturers who actively seek continuous improvement of its products and technological innovation in its many electromechanical wheelchairs. This equipment provides comfort, pleasant visual and reliable system structure and motorization.

Project Objectives

Motorized wheelchairs use mechanical and electronic devices, having a high cost to purchase these assistive equipment. Nowadays it is possible to find on the market various types of drive systems to transform a conventional wheelchair in a motorized chair. This study aims to perform a literature review of the models of traction kits that can be coupled to conventional wheelchairs, turning it into an electric tricycle, in order to facilitate the movement of wheelchair users. These traction systems provide the wheelchair user a new option for daily use of the wheelchair getting more comfort in their day to day. The adaptive KITs can be used in a wide variety of models of wheelchairs and for internal or external environments. This KITs enables the adaptive wheelchair travel greater distances in less time, making more quality of life.

Project Implementation Method

A motorized system will coupled to a light weighted wheelchair, That system will be consisting of DC motors, Batteries, a mechanical structure, User just have to couple that system with their wheelchair and that wheel chair will be transformed into a motorized tricycle will give will user to easily accessible approach on roads and in home also they can come, The engine is made by a brushless motor and according to the weight of the wheelchair, can be used with an engine power of 1300W, directly coupled to the hub of the front wheel. The power electronics is performed by a set of batteries. The equipment consists of some electronic devices, such as, potentiometer accelerator, brake sensors, control module and control panel with battery charge indicator and speedometer

Benefits of the Project

Our project provide the user to simply attach the device and make thier wheelchair work like a motorized tricycle, The BLDC motor provides a nominal speed and low power consumption of the motor gives more life to battery.

Following are some benefits :-

1) Easy accessible for everyone and easy to handle

2) No expense of fueling

3) Only the person has to charge the battery for two to three hours

4) Nominal speed to travel on road with safety features

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Our final deliverable will be a device ( Hardware based ) with the following specifications :-

1) BLDC Motor : 1300 W

2) Lead Battery (3) : 12V 

3) 1300W BLDC controller

4) Ignition

5) Suspensions

6) Braking system

7) Wheelchair ( To which Attachable )

Final Deliverable is an add-on deivce with an nominal speed of 15-20 km and charging time of 3-4 hours, Attachable to any existing wheelchair
