Low noise and stable operation, Shiyou Drive electric wheelchair control system is suitable for indoor scenes in nursing homes.

Nursing homes and elderly care institutions are high-frequency use scenarios for electric wheelchairs. The aisles in the institution are narrow and the room space is limited. Wheelchairs often need to move at low speeds and shuttle indoors. At the same time, the environment is quiet, and the noise requirements for equipment operation are very high. Ordinary drive systems are prone to problems such as loud noise, low-speed jitter, and steering lag, which affect the experience of the elderly.

In view of the pain points in the elderly care institution scenario, Shiyou Drive electric wheelchair motor and control system have been specifically optimized.

In terms of noise control, the entire drive system’s silent room test is ≤52dB. The sine wave vector control algorithm is used to optimize the motor operation logic, making the driving and steering process smooth, reducing vibration and abnormal noise, and not disturbing the quiet indoor environment of the nursing home. When the elderly move in the room or corridor, there will be no harsh motor noise.

For traffic in narrow spaces, the system supports extremely low-speed slow driving capabilities. The wheelchair can travel smoothly at very low speeds, making it easier for caregivers to assist the elderly in turning around and shifting in small rooms and corridors, solving the problems of low-speed shaking and swaying in ordinary wheelchairs. Whether it is short-distance movement indoors or small-angle steering, the vehicle operates smoothly and safely.

The safety design is adapted to the elderly care scenario: dual brake design, electromagnetic brake and electronic brake, double safety; the closing time of the electromagnetic brake is adjustable, and the mechanism can delay brake loss under high-frequency repeated start and stop use. A complete set of safety protection mechanisms, including emergency power outage, overvoltage and undervoltage, overheating and overload, etc., to reduce the risk of failure.

At the same time, the motor body is lightweight, with a total weight of 2.8Kg, small size and high power, which facilitates the structural design of the nursing home wheelchair. The loudspeaker volume can reach up to 108dB. When the elderly go out, the loudspeaker can serve as a sufficient warning and reminder.

In response to the customized needs of institutional customers, the control system supports actuator multi-channel expansion, which can expand the headlights and turn signals, and adapt to the functional upgrade of nursing electric wheelchairs.

Electric wheelchairs in the elderly care scene are indispensable from the three dimensions of low speed, low noise and safety. Shiyou Drive focuses on the power system of electric wheelchairs and provides complete machine manufacturers with motor control solutions suitable for the elderly care market.
