When choosing the frame material, we should not only consider the material itself, but also pay attention to the design and function of the frame. For example, folding electric wheelchairs bring great convenience to those who are inconvenient to bend over or have disabled hands, so that they no longer have to work hard to fold electric wheelchairs; The conventional electric wheelchair is comprehensive, affordable and stable, suitable for a wider range of users.For the current market situation, 輪椅 It has a very advantageous development prospect and an extremely superior ecological environment. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　Front wheel and rear wheel: The design of front wheel and rear wheel of electric wheelchair directly affects its flexibility and shock absorption. Usually, an electric wheelchair has four wheels, two of which are front wheels (universal wheels) and the other two are rear wheels (driving wheels). The smaller the front wheel, the more flexible the wheelchair is, which is suitable for turning flexibly in a narrow space. However, the smaller front wheels are easy to fall into ditches or ground cracks when facing them, which affects the driving experience. In addition, the size of the front wheel also affects the climbing ability of the electric wheelchair. The larger front wheel makes it easier for the wheelchair to climb the stairs, which makes it more convenient for users in their daily lives.

　　Shock absorption: the choice of tires is also very important in shock absorption. The tires of electric wheelchairs are usually divided into pneumatic tires and solid tires. Pneumatic tires have good shock absorption, and it is not easy to feel bumpy when passing through ditches and ridges, while solid tires will feel strong shock when facing uneven roads. In addition, some electric wheelchairs are equipped with special shock absorbers, which makes the driving more stable. These designs not only improve the comfort of wheelchairs, but also make users safer when they are outdoors.

　　Rechargeable batteries have gradually become a necessity in people’s daily life. My friends, do you know how much safety hazard will be brought about by the irregular operation of electric wheelchair batteries? When the battery is charged for a long time, physical and chemical reactions are easy to occur inside the battery, resulting in a large amount of heat and gas. When the battery is overloaded and charged, it is easy to explode, igniting the plastic parts of the electric vehicle and releasing a large amount of toxic smoke, resulting in casualties and property losses.For the current market situation, 輪椅 It has a very advantageous development prospect and an extremely superior ecological environment. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　Pay attention to the following items when charging the battery:

　　1. When charging the electric wheelchair, use the charger adapted to the electric wheelchair, and check whether the rated input voltage of charging is consistent with the power supply voltage. It is forbidden to cover or place the charger on the seat cushion. Unplug the plug on the AC power supply after charging, and then unplug the plug connected to the battery. It is forbidden to connect the charger to the AC power supply for a long time without charging.

　　2. The charging time of the electric wheelchair is suggested to be 6-8 hours. When the charging indicator light changes from red to green, it means that the battery is fully charged. Do not charge the electric wheelchair for a long time, especially in summer, when it is hot and charging for a long time, it is difficult for the charger to dissipate heat and cause combustion. Keep an eye on it when charging.

　　3. When charging the electric wheelchair, check whether the connector is loose, whether the line equipment is aging, and the rubber of the wire is damaged, which may easily lead to short circuit and fire.

　　4. Qualified electric wheelchairs, chargers and batteries produced by manufacturers with production licenses shall be used, and electric wheelchairs and accessories shall not be modified in violation of regulations. It is strictly forbidden to change or modify the charging circuit without permission. If the product or personnel accident occurs as a result, the manufacturer is not responsible.

　　5. Electric wheelchairs should be parked in designated areas, not in stairwells, evacuation passages, and not occupying fire truck passages.

　　6. Do not buy and use some non-standard and over-standard electric wheelchairs, and do not use non-original chargers to charge electric wheelchairs.

　　7. Do not charge the electric wheelchair by private wiring, and do not charge it indoors, in the basement, at the entrance of the building, etc. Avoid charging immediately after driving at high temperature.

　　8. Electric wheelchairs that are not used for a long time should be charged first, and placed after being fully charged, and then the main switch of the circuit should be disconnected.

　　9. Keep a good ventilation environment at the charging place. Do not charge in the sun or wet environment. Be sure to stay away from flammable and explosive materials during charging and storage. Do not expose the charger to outdoor heat sources, such as radiator, fire source and sunlight.

　　10. Do not move the wheelchair while the electric wheelchair is charging.

　　11. Never modify the electric wheelchair, and check and maintain it regularly to prevent problems before they happen.

　　Wheelchairs are widely used in patients’ rehabilitation training and family life, such as lower limb dysfunction, hemiplegia, paraplegia below the chest and people with mobility difficulties. As patients’ families and rehabilitation therapists, it is very necessary to know the characteristics of wheelchairs, choose the most suitable wheelchairs and use them correctly.However, in other words, we should know more about it. 輪椅 The law of development has brought new vitality to the whole industry and revitalized the market. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　First of all, what harm will an inappropriate wheelchair do to the user?

　　Excessive local compression

　　Form a bad posture

　　Induced scoliosis

　　Causing contracture of joints

　　(What are the unsuitable wheelchairs: the seat is too shallow and the height is not enough; The seat is too wide and the height is not enough)

　　The main parts that wheelchair users bear pressure are ischial tubercle, thigh, popliteal fossa and scapula. Therefore, when choosing a wheelchair, we should pay attention to whether the size of these parts is appropriate to avoid skin wear, abrasions and pressure sores.

　　Let’s talk about the choice of wheelchair, which must be kept in mind!

　　Choice of ordinary wheelchair

　　Seat width

　　Measure the distance between two hips or between two legs when sitting down, and add 5cm, that is, there is a gap of 2.5cm on each side after sitting down. The seat is too narrow, it is difficult to get on and off the wheelchair, and the hip and thigh tissues are compressed; The seat is too wide, it is difficult to sit still, it is inconvenient to operate the wheelchair, the upper limbs are easy to get tired, and it is difficult to get in and out of the gate.

　　Seat length

　　Measure the horizontal distance from the hip to the gastrocnemius of the calf when sitting down, and reduce the measurement result by 6.5cm. The seat is too short, the weight mainly falls on the ischium, and the local pressure is easy to be too much; If the seat is too long, it will compress the popliteal fossa, affect the local blood circulation, and easily irritate the skin of this part. It is better to use a short seat for patients with extremely short thighs or flexion and contracture of hips and knees.

　　Seat height

　　Measure the distance from the heel (or heel) to the popliteal fossa when sitting down, and add 4cm. When placing the pedal, the board surface should be at least 5cm from the ground. The seat is too high for the wheelchair to enter the table; The seat is too low and the ischium bears too much weight.

　　seating washer

　　In order to be comfortable and prevent pressure sores, a seat cushion should be placed on the seat, and foam rubber (5~10cm thick) or gel cushion can be used. To prevent the seat from sinking, a piece of plywood with a thickness of 0.6cm can be placed under the seat cushion.

　　Backrest height

　　The higher the backrest, the more stable it is, and the lower the backrest, the greater the range of motion of the upper body and upper limbs. The so-called low backrest is to measure the distance from the seat surface to the armpit (one arm or two arms extend forward horizontally), and subtract 10cm from this result. High backrest: measure the actual height from the seat surface to the shoulder or back pillow.

　　Handrail height

　　When sitting down, the upper arm is vertical and the forearm is flat on the armrest. Measure the height from the chair surface to the lower edge of the forearm, and add 2.5cm. Proper armrest height helps to maintain correct posture and balance, and can make the upper limbs placed in a comfortable position. The armrest is too high, and the upper arm is forced to lift up, which is easy to fatigue. If the armrest is too low, you need to lean forward to maintain balance, which is not only easy to fatigue, but also may affect your breathing.

　　Other auxiliary parts of wheelchair

　　Designed to meet the special needs of patients, such as increasing the friction surface of the handle, extending the brake, anti-shock device, anti-skid device, armrest mounting arm rest, wheelchair table to facilitate patients to eat and write, etc.

　　Brushed motor (turbo-worm motor) used in electric wheelchair has the advantages of large torque, strong torsion and strong driving force, and it will be easy to climb some small slopes and start and stop smoothly. Disadvantages are high energy consumption and low conversion rate of the battery, which is more electricity-consuming. Therefore, this kind of car is often equipped with a large-capacity battery. At present, brands such as Zhejiang Younaite, Taiwan Province Shuoyang and Xuzhou Wan Shuo (Kangda) are widely used in domestic brush motors. Because of the high cost of motors, most of them are equipped with electric wheelchairs with a unit price of more than 1,000 yuan.So we can draw a preliminary conclusion, 輪椅 It is helpful to the needs of the industry market and social development. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　Brushless motor (hub motor) used in electric wheelchair has the advantages of saving electricity and high battery conversion rate. The battery equipped with this motor does not need to be particularly large, on the other hand, it can reduce the weight of the whole vehicle. Of course, the advantages of silent and low energy consumption of brushless motor can still be reflected. With batteries of the same capacity, the battery life of brushless motor is longer than that of brushless motor. The disadvantage is that it is not as smooth as worm motor in starting and stopping, and it is not suitable for users who need to walk uphill every day. In recent years, it is more common on urban roads. There are other brands such as domestic Jindun, Uninet and Shilin. Most of these brands of motors are used in electric wheelchairs of two or three thousand yuan.

　　Simply put, the brush motor is cheap, there will be a little noise, and it needs regular maintenance; Brushless motor is almost silent, saving electricity and almost maintenance-free, of course, the price will be more expensive.

　　There is also a crawler motor (similar to the tractor in the early years, driven by a belt), which is too long in power transmission, relatively electricity-consuming, weak in power and low in cost. At present, only a few manufacturers are applying this motor.

　　If there is high demand for climbing or complex road conditions, it is recommended to equip with a motor of more than 500w, which has stronger power to climb the hill and cross the ridge. Please choose according to your own situation.

　　Rechargeable batteries have gradually become a necessity in people’s daily life. My friends, do you know how much safety hazard will be brought about by the irregular operation of electric wheelchair batteries? When the battery is charged for a long time, physical and chemical reactions are easy to occur inside the battery, resulting in a large amount of heat and gas. When the battery is overloaded and charged, it is easy to explode, igniting the plastic parts of the electric vehicle and releasing a large amount of toxic smoke, resulting in casualties and property losses.This shows that, 輪椅 It has a strong development pulse and is an indispensable source of power for the development of the industry. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　The frame materials of electric wheelchairs are various, and each material has its own unique characteristics, which is suitable for different types of users. First of all, the mainstream frame materials are carbon steel (steel), aluminum alloy, aviation titanium alloy and carbon fiber. Carbon steel has relatively low cost and strong load-bearing capacity, but its disadvantage is that it is bulky and easy to get wet and rust. Aluminum alloy is light and relatively better in corrosion resistance, so many electric wheelchairs on the market use aluminum alloy as the frame material.In some cases, 輪椅 The advantages will become more and more obvious, and it will be able to develop indomitable after market tests. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　Aviation titanium alloy is a high-end choice, with high strength and corrosion resistance, but the price is correspondingly high, which is usually used in high-end and portable electric wheelchairs.

　　Titanium alloy is a mixture of different elements such as titanium, aluminum, iron and vanadium, which has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance and light weight. Carbon fiber is a composite material made of carbon fiber and resin, which has the characteristics of high stiffness, high strength and light weight. From the perspective of material composition, titanium alloy and carbon fiber have their own advantages, the strength of alloy is higher, but the density of carbon fiber is lower, so the weight is lighter. When it is necessary to reduce weight, it is more suitable to use carbon fiber, which is more durable and stronger than titanium alloy, so the electric wheelchair made of carbon fiber is close to 10 thousand yuan.

　　When choosing the frame material, we should not only consider the material itself, but also pay attention to the design and function of the frame. For example, folding electric wheelchairs bring great convenience to those who are inconvenient to bend over or have disabled hands, so that they no longer have to work hard to fold electric wheelchairs; The conventional electric wheelchair is comprehensive, affordable and stable, suitable for a wider range of users.

　　There are many choices of seat back cushion and cushion materials for electric wheelchairs in the market, mainly including mesh cotton and honeycomb materials. The choice of these materials will affect the comfort and ventilation of the seat. For example, compared with honeycomb materials, mesh cotton is more breathable and less likely to store heat. A comfortable wheelchair cushion should conform to the contour of human buttocks, providing good support and wrapping.Hope for the future 輪椅 It can achieve rapid and stable development and serve social development and people’s needs well. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　In addition, the cushion also needs to have air permeability and good hygroscopicity to ensure the dryness of the skin surface. Considering that the user’s long-term use of local skin temperature will accelerate the cell metabolism rate, which will make the skin sweat and ulcer when immersed in a humid environment for a long time.

　　The quality of seat back cushion is mainly judged by fabric smoothness, tension and routing details. Laymen can also distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the seat back cushion by carefully observing these details.

　　The controller is the core component of the electric wheelchair, which can also be understood as the “steering wheel” to control the direction of the wheelchair, and is responsible for the operation of the linkage motor. Its quality directly determines the maneuverability and service life of the electric wheelchair, and the functions and performance of the controller equipped with different configurations of electric wheelchairs will be different. Advanced electric wheelchairs are usually equipped with intelligent control system, which can freely adjust the speed and direction according to the user’s habits and environment to provide a more comfortable driving experience (controllers can be divided into basic models/with folding function/with reclining function/multi-function buttons according to the operation panel) and other feedback functions of intelligent voice broadcast. However, the basic electric wheelchair usually has simple control function, and it is not equipped with the common functions of intelligent voice broadcast and mobile phone remote control adaptation. Individual manufacturers have also added usb-adapted mobile phone charging port and lighting lamp to the controller.Besides, we can’t ignore. 輪椅 It has injected new vitality into the development of the industry and has far-reaching significance for activating the market. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　Most imported brand controllers are composed of upper and lower controllers, while most domestic brands only have upper controllers. Generally, the brushless ones in China are generally divided into upper controller and lower controller, and most of the brushes have only upper controller. Among the imported controller brands, PG in Britain and Dynamic in New Zealand are widely used. Domestic brands include Wuyang and Shiyou, Shanghai Zhilian Aomang, Nuole, Maikong, Pilotage, etc. Comparatively speaking, imported brands are better, and the cost and price are higher than domestic brands. However, in recent years, the rise of domestic products can also meet the needs and experiences of most consumers. You can also use the following operations to judge whether the controller is good or bad.

　　1. Turn on the power switch and push the controller to feel whether the vehicle is stable when starting; Release the controller and feel whether the car stops immediately after a sudden stop. It is advisable to judge whether the controller is normal by starting and stopping slightly.

　　2. Control the rotating car to rotate 360 degrees in situ, and feel whether the steering is smooth and flexible, subject to the steering sensitivity.

　　The development trend of electric wheelchair and old scooter is portable, and the lighter the electric wheelchair, the more convenient it is. However, there will be some wrong operations when the elderly choose or use them, which will often cause unnecessary problems and avoid unnecessary injuries caused by improper operation.In addition to domestic, 輪椅 It has also emerged in the international field and gradually gained the favor of more foreign friends. https://www.hohomedical.com/collections/wheelchair

　　First, the driving operation is not standardized: the elderly and disabled people sometimes appear in the fast lane and ignore the traffic lights when driving electric wheelchairs and old scooters. This is a very dangerous operation, because the speed of electric wheelchairs and old scooters is very slow, and the speed is generally not more than 10 kilometers per hour. Driving an electric wheelchair scooter on the fast lane will cause traffic congestion, and in the worst case, it will cause a serious traffic accident. You must not drive on the motor vehicle lane, and you should drive on the sidewalk or non-motor vehicle lane.

　　Second, electric wheelchairs and old scooters need daily maintenance, especially before use, the power and tires must be checked, and the welding points of the frame and the tightness of each screw need to be checked every once in a while. Electric scooter had better keep the battery fully charged at any time, and charge it as needed. Frequent power loss will lead to the reduction of power storage capacity. There are still many people who blindly pursue cruising range and driving speed when purchasing electric wheelchairs and old scooters. In reality, it should be chosen according to the user’s normal range of activities. If the range of activities is small, it is not necessary to choose an old scooter with too large battery capacity.

　　Third, in the process of selling electric wheelchairs and elderly scooters, many elderly people often choose portable folding electric wheelchairs for convenience. In fact, this is a serious misconception. We always guide the elderly not to move electric wheelchairs, scooters and so on. Even if it is difficult to pass, it is recommended to get off and pass. If you encounter steps on the road, it is best to ask your family or passers-by for help. It is not recommended for the elderly to move it by themselves, because the lightest folding electric wheelchair weighs about twenty or thirty kilograms. This weight is also very heavy for the elderly, and if you move it by your own strength, it may lead to unnecessary injuries such as waist fractures.
