SMART WHEELCHAIR RAILING
Project Area of Specialization Wearables and ImplantableProject SummaryIn Pakistan, around three million people are disable. Advancements in technology made disabled people to lead an independent life and play a more productive role in society. Stairways into buildings present a significant environmental barrier for those with mobility impairments, including older adults. A number of home access solutions that allow users to safely enter and exit the home exist, however these all have some limitations. The purpose of this work was to develop a novel, an inclusive home access solution that integrates a staircase and a lift into one device. A staircase can make climbing of stairs for aged and physically handicapped a breezy affair. This stair lift has a rail attached on one side of stair and has geared motors on one ends of stairs. This system though being most advanced costs up to 0.08 to 0.09 million (depending upon the size) along with maintenance for period of six months and includes installation costs.With the distinguished advantages and the benefits associated there of the reasons to be being for stair case lift. In context to the economical aspect of this system proves to be very promising and the typical context would always insist upon economy without compromising quality multi-utility. In this case no one has altered the civil structure for installation thereafter shortest cost for installation procedure as compared to that of lift. Stair case lift can be adapted for its sheer use simplicity and economy. Therefore it can be widely used for home as well as industrial which ensures a promising future to the concept.
Project ObjectivesThe major aim or objective of our project is to develop an indoor as well as outdoor stair lift. A stair lift is a chair that glides up and down a staircase on a motorized rail. While going up and down the stairs safety is the primary concern, the present day, top quality lifts include many features to maximize.comfort, ease of use and attractiveness in the home, which is a safe and affordable solution to overcome the unique needs and challenges that people experience on the stairs. Stair lift, the mobile chair-like mobility device attached on one side of stairways, allows to improve access for aged between floors at homes, and to make many people with mobility problems live independently through the internet of things. Hence, we are designing a single rail stair elevator to reduce production costs as well as construction time that is required in case of escalators and elevators.
Project Implementation MethodIn this project we make a device which develop an indoor as well as outdoor stair lift.and it requires:
- Designing of railing
- Desiging of moving mechanism
- Mechaism required for controlling speed of motor.
- Mechanism to reduce Jerk.
- Stairways into buildings present a significant environmental barrier for those with mobility impairments, including older adults.
- The purpose of this work was to develop a novel, an inclusive home access solution that integrates a staircase and a lift into one device.
- .A staircase can make climbing of stairs for aged and physically handicapped a breezy affair.
- This system though being most advanced costs up to 0.09million along with maintenance for period of six months and includes installation costs.
- For the installation of lifts in the stalk, structure cost is too high and it even depends on usage of lift.
- To overcome these factors like cost of implementation and cost of civil construction, the concept of stair case lift come with advantages over traditional elevators and escalator.
- The thing which motivated us is due to spatial restrictions, the design calls for a collapsible built in the chair system. Equipped with a seat belt and a remote, this system will allow for independent mobility up and down the stair
technical details constitute of
- Design of railing.
- Desiging of moving mechanism
- curve bending
- Designing of straight path
- Designing of wheelchair stand with barrier.barrier is design here for safety of user.
- Mechaism required for controlling speed of motor.
- Mechanism to reduce Jerk.
- So our project is desiging of smart wheelchair railing which consists of stand,straight path,locking system and a wheel chair.
