  1. P14007: Wheelchair Assist Che-An Lee Phil Medalie Dan Schuster Tom Elliot

  2. Team Roles

  3. Agenda • Background • Problem Statement • Current Product • Stakeholders • Project Deliverables • Use Scenarios • Needs List • Theory of Operation • Engineering Requirements • House of Quality • Project Schedule

  4. Background • Current manual wheel chair users face many daily challenges • Wheel Chair Assist Devices • Movement Assist Devices • Anti-Roll back Devices • Anti-Tip Devices

  5. Problem Statement • Current State • Current anti-roll back and anti-tip products exist that can be added onto wheel chairs, as well as motorized wheel chairs to provide movement assistance • Majority of manual chairs do not come standard with these devices • Many of these assistance devices are expensive and inhibit some of the benefits of manual chairs • Desired State • The device should maintain all of the benefits of a manual wheel chair(light weight, small turning radius, compact, etc.) • The device should also be able to aid the user when traversing inclines and declines, as well as prevent roll back/tip-over movements • Project Goals • Design a system that encompasses the 4 desired properties while maintaining the key benefits of a manual chair • Key Desired Properties • Ability to provide movement assist up inclines • Ability to decelerate the user when moving down declines • Ability to prevent the wheel chair from rolling back down a hill and slipping out from under user • Ability to prevent the wheel chair from tipping over backwards • Constraints • The wheel chair should still meet ADA standards regarding size constraints(doorways, buildings, etc.) • System Cost

  6. Current Products • Anti-Tip Devices • Anti-Rollback Devices • MagicWheels • Manual Chairs • Motorized Chairs Image References: http://www.rehabmart.com http://www.magicwheels.com/

  7. Stakeholder • Wheelchair User • Caretaker • Inventor • MSD Team • RIT

  8. Project Deliverables • Functional prototype which can be marketed to manufactures and a basis for a product that will ultimately be manufactured • Test data verifying engineering requirement • User’s guide for operation • Alternative design for future project

  9. P 14007 Needs List

  10. Use Scenarios Considered • User is going up a ramp, user regain grip and chair stops, incline assist activates to stops the chair from rolling down the ramp and provide energy to assist user move up the ramp • User is going down a ramp, user activates decline assist, chair de-accelerate and maintain a constant speed • User transporting in/out from the chair, anti-rollback activates to prevent chair rollback
