With the advancement of technology, electric wheelchairs have gradually become an important tool to improve the quality of life of people with limited mobility. However, in the design and use of electric wheelchairs, safety is always an important factor that cannot be ignored. As a key component in the design of electric wheelchairs, the rear anti-rollover wheel is enough to prove its necessity and importance. Today, JBH will talk to you about whether the electric wheelchair will overturn? This issue is not only related to the safety of users, but also involves the designer's considerations in product design.
There has been a lot of controversy about the safety of electric wheelchairs for the elderly, especially when going up and downhill, many people worry that the electric wheelchair will overturn and cause accidents that cause injuries to the elderly. So what is the truth?
In fact, electric wheelchairs of regular brands such as Guardian, Kangyang, Maidester, and JBH are usually equipped with safety equipment for electric wheelchairs in order to cope with the problem of climbing for the elderly, such as anti-tilt wheels, reinforced seat belts, electromagnetic brakes, etc., in order to prevent the elderly from falling during the process of going up and downhill.
The original intention of the design of electric wheelchairs is to help users move more conveniently. However, the risks they may face in different usage environments must be fully considered during the design process. When using an electric wheelchair on a straight road, there is usually no big problem, but on uneven terrain, ramps or turns, the risk of tipping over increases significantly. The emergence of rear anti-tip wheels is precisely to meet this challenge. It is designed at the rear of the electric wheelchair. When the tilt angle reaches a certain degree, the anti-tip wheel will touch the ground, thereby effectively preventing the wheelchair from tipping over, including stability under different terrains, different slopes and different loads, to ensure the safety of users.
Although most electric wheelchairs are designed to be relatively stable, there are still some situations that may cause tipping over. Some of the common reasons include:
Too high speed: When an electric wheelchair is traveling at too high a speed, it is easy to tip over when turning or encountering uneven ground.
Unbalanced suspension: If the center of gravity of the electric wheelchair is unstable or the suspension design is unreasonable, it is also easy to cause tipping over.
Improper use: Some users may use electric wheelchairs on unsuitable terrain or in unsafe environments, which also increases the risk of tipping over.
In order to avoid tipping over of electric wheelchairs, we can take some measures:
Reasonable use: Users should be careful not to exceed the speed limit when using electric wheelchairs, especially when turning or going uphill.
Regular maintenance: Maintain electric wheelchairs regularly to ensure the normal operation of various components, especially the battery and suspension system.
Choose the right terrain: Try to avoid using electric wheelchairs on complex terrain or uneven roads to reduce the risk of tipping over.
Regarding the claim that electric wheelchairs are prone to failure, we need to distinguish whether it is an electric wheelchair from a regular brand or a product from a small brand. To be honest, electric wheelchairs from regular brands have strict manufacturing processes, and they definitely use branded accessories and advanced technology. For example, JBH is a Chinese brand that specializes in electric wheelchairs for the elderly. The core accessories are all produced and sold by the factory, and the quality is guaranteed. Their factory covers an area of ??12,000 square meters and has passed FDA, CE, and ISO13485 certifications. Product research and development and quality are guaranteed.
Every electric wheelchair manufactured by a regular brand will also undergo multiple testing processes before leaving the factory, such as tension testing, stability testing, and straight line testing. Only after passing the full inspection will it flow into the market, so electric wheelchairs of regular brands are relatively less likely to malfunction.
In general, although the original intention of the design of the rear anti-rollover wheel is to improve safety, in actual application, users still need to understand the working principle of the rear anti-rollover wheel and stay alert when using the electric wheelchair. Good usage habits and understanding of the functions of the wheelchair are the key to ensuring safety. Therefore, when selling electric wheelchairs, in addition to providing technical support, manufacturers should also strengthen training and guidance for users to improve everyone's safety awareness. It is also important to choose a regular brand.
