26、aracteristics of a wheelchair for prescription and adjustment purposes. Some occupants need large reserves of stability to ensure their safety while others prefer finely balanced wheelchairs which have better manoeuvrability. Static stability is only one factor affecting dynamic stability, others be

27、ing the position of the wheelchair operator in the wheelchair, the skill of the wheelchair operator, the manner in which the wheelchair is propelled, and the environment in which the wheelchair is operated. This part of ISO 7176 specifies tests in which static stability is measured with parking brak

28、e(s) applied, as is the case if the wheelchair is standing on a slope. Tests are also made with the wheels unlocked, simulating the situation where the wheelchair is standing on a slope with the wheels against obstacles, the situation on a level surface with the wheels unlocked and the wheelchair oc

29、cupant reaching for an object, or instability while rolling. Tests are also made that determine the static stability of the wheelchair when it is protected against tipping over by a forward and/or rearward anti-tip device, and the effectiveness of those anti-tip devices if the wheelchair tips in tha

It is applicable to manual and elect

31、rically powered wheelchairs, including scooters, with a maximum speed not greater than 15 km/h, intended to provide indoor and/or outdoor mobility for one disabled person whose mass is within the range represented by ISO 7176-11. For active stability-controlled wheelchairs, this part of ISO 7176 app

32、lies to the device in a stable, parked state. This part of ISO 7176 provides a method for the measurement of the tipping angles (either wheelchair tipping angle or anti-tip device tipping angle), but this method is not applicable to wheelchairs with lateral anti-tip devices and does not consider sli

33、ding on the ground. This part of ISO 7176 also includes requirements for test reports and information disclosure. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

36、ability (by electronic or other means) when static and/or when in motion 3.2 anti-tip device device which limits the extent of tipping of a wheelchair Note 1 to entry: Anti-tip devices can operate in forward, rearward, or lateral directions. Some anti-tip devices have a spring suspension. Some runni

37、ng wheels can act as anti-tip devices, but their primary function is to be running wheels. Foot supports can serve as anti-tip devices if the manufacturer designates that they are intended to serve in that capacity. A change in the wheelchair configuration or control characteristics to enhance stabi

38、lity is not considered an anti-tip device.

39、ontact between a wheel or other part of the wheelchair and the ground Note 1 to entry: In the test procedures specified in this part of ISO 7176, the ground can be the test platform or its covering that lies between the test platform and the wheel or the post. 3.5 force detection point point at whic

40、h the force under an uphill wheel is monitored Note 1 to entry: This can be determined as the point at which a sheet of paper will slide between the wheel and the contact surface. 3.6 lockable wheel wheel equipped with parking brake, or wheel whose rolling motion is prevented by the means of propuls

42、peed on a level surface 3.10 wheelchair tipping angle angle of the test platform from the horizontal at which the vertical projection of the centre of mass moves outside of a polygon connecting the contact points of all the running wheels (to be assessed by empirical measure) Note 1 to entry: The in

43、stant at which the wheelchair starts to tip is reached when the forces become zero under all uphill running wheels (i.e. one edge of the polygon lies directly below the centre of mass). Note 2 to entry: A number of methods are available with which to determine when the forces become zero under the u

44、phill wheels. These include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability to pull pieces of paper from beneath the wheels, visual identification of when the wheels lift from the test platform, or the use of force-sensing instrumentation. 4 Principles 4.1 Static stability Theoretically, a loade

45、d wheelchair is statically stable as long as the gravity force line from the centre of mass is inside the area on the ground that is confined by the outline of the contact points (see 3.4) of its wheels. Wheelchair stability increases as the angle between a vertical plane through the axis of tip and

46、 a plane that contains the centre of mass and the axis of tip increases. A wheelchair will tip when it is tilted beyond this measured angle (see Figure 1) about the axis of tip. The wheelchairs can either tip about the 2 ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 7176-1:2014ISO 7176-1:2014(E) contact point

47、when the wheels are locked or about the wheel axle when the wheels are unlocked (see Figure 1). Since the location of the centre of mass is not known, it is not possible to measure the tipping angle directly. Therefore it is determined with the wheelchair on an adjustable slope test platform. The an

48、gle of the slope on which the wheelchair starts to tip is measured. The angle of the test platform represents the tipping angle. a) wheelchair with wheels locked ISO 2014 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 7176-1:2014ISO 7176-1:2014(E) b) wheelchair with wheels unlocked Key 1 centre of mass of wheelchair p
