The present disclosure generally relates to mobility devices.
Mobility devices such as wheelchairs typically have a chassis on which the seating system is arranged and from which the wheels are suspended. The seating system includes the seat, the backrest and the armrests.
Typically, the position of the backrest may be set by means of an actuating device. The chassis is generally bulky, since it among other things contains the large battery pack, which is centrally arranged. Moreover, there are requirements on a certain amount of ground clearance, while at the same time the seat height should be as low as possible. Additionally, a tilt/lift system for the seating system may be arranged centrally. Due to these circumstances, the actuating device is normally arranged laterally on one side of the chassis. Since force has to be transmitted from one side to control the backrest, the backrest is generally designed to have a very high torsional stiffness in order to withstand this force. As a result, the physical dimension and weight of the wheelchair is adversely affected. Additionally, the force transfer from one side to the backrest provides complexity to the wheelchair.
In view of the above, a general object of the present disclosure is to provide a mobility device which solves or at least mitigates the problems of the prior art.
There is hence provided a mobility device comprising: a main frame, an elongated body support member which has a central longitudinal axis that is contained in a median plane of the mobility device, the body support member being pivotally connected to the main frame via a medial pivot connection, and an elongated rotation transfer member configured to rotate relative to the body support member via a medial connection, wherein the rotation transfer member has a central longitudinal axis which extends transversally relative to the central longitudinal axis of the body support member.
By means of this configuration symmetrical force transfer from a medial location to bilateral locations by means of the rotation transfer member may be enabled. Hence, a mobility device with lower torsional stiffness requirements may be provided. The size, weight and complexity of the mobility device may thereby be reduced.
The main frame may have an elongated shape. The main frame may have a central longitudinal axis which coincides with the median plane, i.e. the mid-sagittal plane, of the mobility device.
The rotation transfer member may extend transversely through the body support member.
According to one embodiment the body support member and the rotation transfer member have the shape of a T, with the body support member forming the base of the T and the rotation transfer member forming the top of the T.
One embodiment comprises a first lateral motion transfer member fixedly connected to the rotation transfer member at a first lateral end thereof, and a second lateral motion transfer member fixedly connected to the rotation transfer member at a second lateral end thereof.
The first lateral motion transfer member may be rotationally fixed relative to the rotation transfer member.
The second lateral motion transfer member may be rotationally fixed relative to the rotation transfer member.
Rotation of the rotation transfer member may hence cause rotation or pivoting—depending on the particular implementation—of the first lateral motion transfer member and the second lateral motion transfer member.
One embodiment comprises a backrest, an elongated first support structure extending between a first end of the rotation transfer member and the backrest, a first backrest rotational drive member interconnected with the first lateral motion transfer member and fixedly connected to the backrest, an elongated second support structure extending between a second end of the rotation transfer member and the backrest, and a second backrest rotational drive member interconnected with the second lateral motion transfer member and fixedly connected to the backrest, wherein rotation of the rotation transfer member causes the first lateral motion transfer member, the first backrest rotational drive member to rotate, the second lateral motion transfer member to rotate, and the second backrest rotational drive member to rotate, thereby rotating the backrest.
According to one embodiment the first support structure is configured to space apart the first backrest rotational drive member and the first lateral motion transfer member, and the second support structure is configured to space apart the second backrest rotational drive member and the second lateral motion transfer member.
One embodiment comprises a leg rest pivotally connected to the main frame via said medial pivot connection wherein the rotation transfer member has a rotation transfer connection with the leg rest, whereby rotational motion of the leg rest relative to the main frame causes rotation of the rotation transfer member providing corresponding rotational motion of the first lateral motion transfer member and the second lateral motion transfer member.
Thus, power transfer from a medial location may be provided bilaterally to the first lateral motion transfer member and to the second lateral motion transfer member.
One embodiment comprises a leg rest actuating device configured to control a leg rest pivot angle between the leg rest and the main frame.
According to one embodiment the leg rest and the rotation transfer member form part of a symmetric rotation transfer assembly.

The inventive concept will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplifying embodiments are shown. The inventive concept may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided by way of example so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the inventive concept to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout the description.
The mobility device 1 comprises a main frame 3, drive wheel swing arms 5, of which only one is visible, drive wheels 7, rear wheel swing arms 9, rear wheels 11, a body support system 13, and a leg rest 15.
The exemplified main frame 3 has an elongated shape. The main frame 3 is an essentially beam-like structure. The main frame 3 has a central longitudinal axis which coincides with the median plane, i.e. the mid-sagittal plane, of the mobility device 1.
The drive wheel swing arms 5 are pivotally connected to the main frame 3. Each drive wheel 7 is connected to a respective drive wheel swing arm 5. The mobility device 1 furthermore comprises wheel motors, not shown. Each wheel motor is configured to drive a respective drive wheel 7. Each wheel motor may for example be incorporated in a respective wheel hub. The mobility device 1 also comprises a control system which is configured to control the wheel motors.
The rear wheel swing arms 9 are pivotally connected to the main frame 3. In the present example, the mobility device 1 comprises two identical rear wheel swing arms, but could alternatively comprise a single rear wheel swing arm with a single rear wheel connected to it or with two rear wheels connected to it. The mobility device 1 may comprise a rear wheel arm actuating device, not shown, configured to control a rear wheel swing arm angle between the rear wheel swing arms 9 and the main frame 3 independently of control of the wheel motors.
The mobility device 1 furthermore comprises one or more batteries. The batteries are configured to drive the mobility device 1, e.g. to drive the wheel motors, leg rest actuating device, and body support member actuating device disclosed herein. The one or more batteries may for example be lithium batteries or lithium ion batteries, but any other battery type with similar power/volume unit performance is suitable for this purpose.
The body support system 13 is pivotally connected to the main frame 3 via a medial pivot connection 17. According to the example shown in
The first support structure 13d extends between a first end of the rotation transfer member 13c and the backrest 13h. The second support structure 13e extends between a second end of the rotation transfer member 13c and the backrest 13h. The rotation transfer member 13c may be contained in an elongated rotation transfer member housing 14, shown in
The body support member 13b may be an essentially beam-like structure. The body support member 13b has a central longitudinal axis A1 which coincides with the median plane of the mobility device 1. The body support member 13b is pivotally connected to the main frame 3 via the medial pivot connection 17. In particular, a first end portion of the body support member 13b is pivotally connected to the main frame 3 via the medial pivot connection 17. The body support member 13b hence extends longitudinally in a direction away from the medial pivot connection 17 in the median plane of the mobility device 1.
The rotation transfer member 13c is configured to rotate relative to the body support member 13b. The rotation transfer member 13c is hence able to rotate freely relative to the body support member 13b. The rotation transfer member 13c is rotatably connected relative to the body support member 13b and extends through the body support member 13b in a second end portion of the body support member 13b. The rotation transfer member 13c has a medial rotational connection 16 with the medial pivot connection 17. The body support member 13b and the rotation transfer member 13c form the shape of a T with the body support member 13b forming the base of the T and the rotation transfer member forming the top of the T.
The rotation transfer member 13c extends transversally with respect to the central longitudinal axis A1 of the body support member 13b. The rotation transfer member 13 has a central longitudinal axis A2 which intersects the central longitudinal axis A1 of the body support member 13b at a right angle.
The leg rest 15 may have an elongated shape. The leg rest 15 is pivotally connected to the main frame 3 via the same medial pivot connection 17 which pivotally connects the main frame 3 and the body support member 13b. The pivot connection between the leg rest 15 and the main frame 3, and the pivot connection between the body support member 13b and the main frame 3 are hence about the same pivot axis.
The exemplified mobility device 1 comprises a leg rest actuating device 21 pivotally connected to the main frame 3 and to the leg rest 15. The leg rest actuating device 21 is configured to control a pivot motion of the leg rest 15 relative to the main frame 3. The leg rest actuating device 21 is hence configured to control a leg rest pivot angle α between the leg rest 15 and the main frame 3. The leg rest pivot angle α may for example be the angle between central longitudinal axis A3 of the main frame 3 extending through the medial pivot connection 17, and a central longitudinal axis A4 of the leg rest 15. Alternatively, the leg rest pivot angle α may be for example be defined as the angle of the central longitudinal axis A4 of the leg rest 15 in a coordinate system of the main frame 3, which has its origin in the centre of the median pivot connection 17.
The exemplified mobility device 1 comprises a body support member actuating device 23. The body support actuating device 23 is pivotally connected to the main frame 3 and to the body support member 13b. The body support member actuating device 23 is configured to control a pivot motion of the body support member 13b relative to the main frame 3. The body support member actuating device 23 is hence configured to control a body support member angle β between the body support member 13b and the main frame 3. The body support member angle β may for example be the angle between the central longitudinal axis A3 of the main frame 3 extending through the medial pivot connection 17, and the central longitudinal axis A1 of the body support member 13b. Alternatively, the body support member angle β may for example be defined as the angle of the central longitudinal axis A1 of the body support member 13b in a coordinate system of the main frame 3, which has its origin in the centre of the median pivot connection 17.
The leg rest 15 is in a rotation transfer connection with the rotation transfer member 13c. Pivoting of the leg rest 15 by means of the leg rest actuating device 21 causes corresponding rotation of the rotation transfer member 13c. The leg rest 15 and the rotation transfer member 13c hence form part of a rotation transfer assembly which is symmetric. In particular, medial pivot motion of the leg rest 15 relative to the main frame 3 is transferred bilaterally by means of the rotation transfer member 13c.
The leg rest could alternatively be fixedly arranged to the main frame. The leg rest could for example comprise two leg supports which extend from the elongate body that forms the main frame.
The rotation transfer member 13c is in this example provided with a second rotational drive member 27. The second rotational drive member 27 is fixed to the rotation transfer member 13c. In particular, the second rotational drive member 25 is rotationally fixed relative to the rotation transfer member 13c. The second rotational drive member 27 may for example be a sprocket or a friction drive wheel.
The first rotational drive member 25 is interconnected with the second rotational drive member 27 such that rotation of the first rotational drive member 25 is transferred to the second rotational drive member 27. The first rotational drive member 25 may for example be interconnected with the second rotational drive member 27 by means of a chain, belt or similar means 29. In the case of a chain, the first and the second rotational drive members 25 and 27 may be sprockets, and in the case it is a belt, they may be friction drive wheels. The chain, belt or similar means may be arranged inside the body support member 13b.
In operation, when the leg rest 15 is pivoted by the leg rest actuating device 21, the first rotational drive member 25, which is fixed to the leg rest 15 causes movement of the chain, belt or similar means, which in turn causes the second rotational drive member 27 to rotate. This rotation is the same amount as the amount of pivoting of the leg rest 15. Since the second rotational drive member 27 is rotationally fixed to the rotation transfer member 13, the rotation transfer member 13c is also rotated.
In case of leg supports extending from the main frame, the first rotational drive member could be fixed to the main frame. Relative rotational movement between the main frame and the body support member would in this case cause movement of the chain, belt or similar means.
The rotation transfer assembly is in this example provided with a first lateral motion transfer member 31 fixed to the rotation transfer member 13c and a second lateral motion transfer member 33 fixed to the rotation transfer member 13c. The first lateral motion transfer member 31 is rotationally fixed to a first lateral end of the rotation transfer member 13c and the second lateral motion transfer member 33 is rotationally fixed to the second lateral end of the rotation transfer member 13c. The first lateral motion transfer member 31 is a third rotational drive member, for example a sprocket or a friction drive wheel. The second lateral motion transfer member 33 is a fourth rotational drive member, for example a sprocket or a friction drive wheel.
In
The rotation transfer assembly also comprises a second backrest rotational drive member 37 which is interconnected with the second lateral motion transfer member 33. These components may be contained in the second support structure 13e. The second backrest rotational drive member 37 may be a sprocket or a friction drive wheel. The second backrest rotational drive member 37 is interconnected with the second lateral motion transfer member 33 by means of a chain, belt or similar means 38. The second backrest rotational drive member 37 is fixedly connected to the backrest 13h. The second backrest rotational drive member 37 may in particular be rotationally fixed relative to the backrest 13h. Hence, when the rotation transfer member 13c is being rotated, the second lateral motion transfer member 33 is also rotated, causing the chain, belt or similar means 38 connecting the second lateral motion transfer member 33 and the second backrest rotational drive member 37 to move. The second backrest rotational drive member 37 is hence rotated.
Since the first backrest rotational drive member 35 is fixed to the backrest 13h and the second backrest rotational drive member 37 is fixed to the backrest 13h, the backrest 13h is also rotated.
The exemplified linkage system 30 furthermore has a first lateral motion transfer member 31′ fixedly connected to a first lateral end of the motion transfer member 13c. The first lateral motion transfer member 31′ is hence rotationally fixed relative to the motion transfer member 13c. The first lateral motion transfer member 31′ is a fourth linkage member. The fourth linkage member forms part of a first lateral sub-linkage 39 forming a parallelogram. The backrest 13h may be fixedly connected to sixth linkage member 43 of the first lateral sub-linkage 39. The first lateral sub-linkage 39 may for example be contained in the first support structure 13.
The linkage system 30 has a second lateral motion transfer member 33′ fixedly connected to a second lateral end of the motion transfer member 13c. The second lateral motion transfer member 33′ is hence rotationally fixed relative to the motion transfer member 13c. The second lateral motion transfer member 33′ is a fifth linkage member. The fifth linkage member forms part of a second lateral sub-linkage 41 forming a parallelogram. The backrest 13h may be fixedly connected to seventh linkage member 45 of the second lateral sub-linkage 41.
In operation, when the rotation transfer member 13c is being rotated due to interaction with the leg rest 15 which is being pivoted, the first lateral motion transfer member 31′ and the second lateral motion transfer member 33′ follow the rotation of the rotation transfer member 13c, causing a change in the configuration of the parallelograms of the first lateral sub-linkage 39 and the second lateral sub-linkage 41. The backrest 13h will thereby be pivoted with the same amount as the pivot motion of the leg rest 15, which may be an angle Aa of the leg rest pivot angle α.
In a variation of the examples described above, the first armrest 13f and the second armrest 13g may also be moved concurrently with the backrest 13h. The two armrests 13f and 13g may hence according to this example be fixed relative to the backrest 13h. The first armrest 13f and the second armrest 13g are thereby subjected to the same rotation or pivoting as the backrest 13h when the leg rest 15 is being pivoted.
The arrows in
The backrest 13h is fixedly arranged relative to the first backrest rotational drive member 35 and the second backrest rotational drive member 37. Hence, as the first backrest rotational drive member 35 and the second backrest rotational drive member 37 are rotated so is the backrest 13h. Rotation of the medially located first rotational drive member 25 causes rotation of the backrest 13h with the same amount and in the same direction.
Turning now to
The inventive concept has mainly been described above with reference to a few examples. However, as is readily appreciated by a person skilled in the art, other embodiments than the ones disclosed above are equally possible within the scope of the inventive concept, as defined by the appended claims.
