Definitions

  • the invention relates to a system for moving a wheelchair or other load along an elevated surface, which system is provided with a deployable support surface on the stairs or other elevated surface and a transport vehicle onto which a wheelchair or other load can be positioned so that it can be carried along the stairs, said vehicle moving on said support surface.
  • the transport vehicle comprises propulsion means and means for maintaining the wheelchair or other load in an essentially horizontal position during the entire transport operation.
  • the first direction involves propulsion and step moving mechanisms incorporated in wheelchairs as exemplified by patent application US4674584A .
  • the main disadvantage of this direction is that each wheelchair user has to occur a significant cost for having such functionality incorporated into the wheelchair, the wheelchair itself becomes bulky and heavy and less manoeuvrable in small spaces.
  • stability in ascending and descending is not smooth due to the complicated controls which raises issues of users feeling safe.
  • the second direction involves use of ramps as exemplified by patent US7010825B1 (extensible ramp) or patent US6430769B1 (deployable ramp).
  • the main disadvantages of this direction is the limit in the number of steps and the space required as the inclination generally needs to be kept under 10% and that it does not provide any autonomy for wheelchair users.
  • the third direction involves a wheelchair lift as exemplified by patent application WO1997019887A1 .
  • the main disadvantage of this direction is the limitation in the number of steps and fact that such installations are permanent or at least the movement of such lifts from one location to another is cumbersome and time consuming.
  • the fourth direction involves self-propelled vehicles where a wheelchair can be loaded and the vehicle is propelled along the stairs.
  • a wheelchair can be loaded and the vehicle is propelled along the stairs.
  • patent application US6158536A describes a vehicle for carrying a wheelchair having a loading platform and an undercarriage, said undercarriage using continuous tracks for propulsion.
  • a key characteristic of this invention is that the wheelchair user is facing to the opposite direction to the direction of movement during ascent and the wheelchair is slightly inclined rearwardly.
  • patent application US4411330A also describes a vehicle for carrying a wheelchair having a loading platform and an undercarriage, said undercarriage using continuous tracks for propulsion.
  • a key characteristic of this invention is that the platform supporting the wheelchair is kept horizontal by an element controlled by a screw spindle.

  • the load transporting vehicle comprises two moveable arms supporting a movement mechanism so that the vehicle can move along the support surface and rotate in a vertical plane so as to maintain the load support platform in an essentially horizontal position.
  • the load transporting vehicle further comprises two propulsion units, each propulsion unit mounted on one of the two arms.
  • the two moveable arms move to maintain contact with a ground support surface, as the vehicle moves along stairs, and maintain the load transporting vehicle in an essentially horizontal orientation.
  • Each propulsion unit and supporting arm is housed in a protective enclosure, the protective enclosure forming part of the load bearing structure of the load transporting vehicle.
  • the two protective enclosures are joined by a middle load support platform so that a load can be positioned onto said middle load support platform for transportation along the stairs.
  • the movement mechanism may comprise an electric drive motor.
  • Each of said arms may be supported on a slider crank mechanism and driven by an actuator.
  • the load transporting vehicle operating to keep the load support platform in an essentially horizontal orientation may comprise a set of inclination sensors that provide feedback to an actuator that controls the vertical rotation of each of said arms by means of a control system based on the output of the inclination sensors.

  • the movement of said flaps between the vertical position, that prevents movement of the load off the platform, and the essentially horizontal position, that allows movement of the load off the platform, may be effected by a central bar operated by an actuator.
  • Said central bar may be positioned in a channel so as to prevent any obstruction to the positioning or movement of the load on the load support platform.
  • the floor surface may comprise lightweight multi-layered double-wall structured composite material with cross-orientation.
  • the propulsion means of said load transporting vehicle may comprise non-slip wheels.
  • the propulsion means of said load transporting vehicle may comprise continuous track.

  • Said support surface may comprise a non-slip bottom surface to prevent slip between the bottom surface and the stairs.
  • Said non-slip bottom surface may comprise high friction material to prevent the sliding of the edge of each step of the stairs relative to the support surface, and/or geometrical patterns that act as obstacles to the sliding of the edge of each step of the stairs relative to the support surface.
  • the load transporting vehicle can communicate with the person or with the wheelchair via any mode of communication so that the load transporting vehicle can get ready to receive the load as the load approaches the load transporting vehicle.
  • Transition to a ready state may comprise moving the load transporting vehicle to the correct side of the stairs, namely upper or lower side of the stairs, where the load is anticipated to arrive and opening the flaps.

  • the balancing actuator (31) is used for changing the length of the actuation beam (43), thus altering the angular position of interconnected arm (15) and beams.
  • Said actuation beam (43) is non-back-drivable, i.e. achieving safe block in case of loss of power and/or failures.
  • the balancing actuator uses a ball-screw actuated mechanism and is equipped with an additional mechanical brake.
  • Said actuator that controls the vertical rotation of the arm is adjusted by means of a control system (33) taking feedback from inclination sensors (33) on the load transporting vehicle (12), in order to set the angular position of said arm which in turn sets the inclination of said platform in the essentially horizontal orientation.
  • the arm (15) of this embodiment extends from the side of the vehicle positioned at the highest elevation of the stairs where it is supported on a slider crank mechanism (42), towards the side of the vehicle at the lowest elevation of the stairs where it is attached to means of propulsion (14) as shown in Figure 4B .
