可變形及移位之接駁輪椅的輔具開發

Development of a Reconfigurable and Displaceable Wheelchair Assistance Device with Lightweight Structure

本文開發的目的是開發一種可變形與移位的接駁椅。當老年患者或殘疾人士（照護對象）經常需要依靠照護者或家庭成員幫助他們從接駁椅轉移到其他地方。然而，重複執行手動輪椅任務會顯著增加護理人員累積神經損傷或肌肉骨骼勞損的風險。本文接駁椅具有電動控制裝置和傳動機構，使用者和病人可以輕鬆控制，將電動可變形與移位接駁椅變成一張小床，然後利用小床的傳動機構將病人平行轉移到家裡的床上。此設計可以減輕護理人員移動患者的負擔。本電動可變形與移位接駁椅已完成產品外形設計、機構設計、製造和產品組裝，而本電動接駁椅的面板經Ansys分析結果可以確認其面板強度是安全的。

This study developed a wheelchair assistance device that can be reconfigured and displaced for a
care reci pient, such as an older patient or an individual with a disability. This device is suitable for
situations where a care recipient frequently requires assistance from a caregiver or family member to
transfer from a docking chair to another place. The manual effort involved in these transfers exposes
the caregiver to the risk of cumulative brain impairment or musculoskeletal strain. Accordingly, with
the proposed device, users and patients can easily operate the wheelchair's electric control device and
transm ission mechanism to convert it into a small bed. They can then parallelly shift the patient to their home bed using the small bed's transmission mechanism. The design of the device increases the
ease with which the caregiver can transport the patient. The manufacture, product assembly,
mechanism design, and product design of the electric wheelchair have been completed. Using
ANSYS software, we assessed the structure of the reconfigurable and displaceable wheelchair and
determined it to be safe.
