초록

인구 고령화와 건강 복지에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아지면서 재활복지기를 포함한 실버 및 헬스케어 산업과 관련한 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 1차적으로 설계·제작되었던 이·승강 전동휠체어를 사용자 측면에서 보다 더 안전성과 편의성을 갖도록 개선하고자 하였다. 사용자 체형을 고려한 헤드레스트 높이조절 기능의 시트 디자인, 사용성 증대를 위한 암레스트의 길이조절 및 95° 회전 기능, 사용자 탑승 편의성을 위한 바닥까지의 시트하강 및 운행 시 승강할 수 있는 기능, 캐스터 회전반경 및 안전성 증대를 위한 발판 추가 및 풋레스트 길이 조절 기능, 승·하강 시 흔들림 방지를 위한 프레임 및 승·하강 링크 설계 등을 개선시켰다. 또한 안전주행을 위한 컨트롤러 및 드라이브 부문과 사용자 편의성 측면의 기능들을 추가적으로 설계·제작하였다. 추가 기능을 보완하여 제작된 실내 전동휠체어의 동작 상태를 평가하기 위해 구동 실험을 수행하였다. 연속 주행시간, 회전반경, 승·하강 최대 하중, 최대 승강 높이, 소음레벨, 운행 보조센서 센싱 최소거리, 서버 및 앱 프로그램 상호연동 및 기기호환성, 듀티 사이클 최대 오차율의 성능실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 더 개선하여 설계·제작한 전동휠체어는 시험 목표 값을 달성하였으며, 성공적으로 동작하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 연구로는 개선하여 제작된 이·승강 전동휠체어에 대해 사용자 측면에서의 사용성 평가를 수행할 것이다.

With an increase in the aging population and a rising social interest in health and welfare, studies to improve healthcare in the elderly are being actively conducted. This study attempted to improve the current design and manufacture of elevating electric wheelchairs to enhance user safety and convenience. Seat design based on the user's body shape, convenience while boarding or alighting, caster turning radius and, safety and stability features that prevent shaking when the user gets up or sits down were improved. A driving experiment was conducted to evaluate the operation of the indoor electric wheelchair designed and manufactured with these additional functionalities. During the test, the performance parameters evaluated were continuous driving time, turning radius, maximum lifting and lowering load, maximum lifting height, noise level, minimum distance sensing by the driving auxiliary sensor, ability to interact with server and app programs, and the duty cycle maximum error rate. The test confirmed that this improved electric wheelchair successfully met target parameters. In a future study, we will evaluate this improved electric wheelchair from a user's perspective for its usability parameters, such as satisfaction, convenience and stability.
