ISO 2014 All rights reserved vBS ISO 7176-1:2014ISO 7176-1:2014(E)IntroductionIt is important to know the static-stability characteristics of a wheelchair for prescription and adjustment purposes. Some occupants ne

26、ed 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 being the position of the wheelchair operator in the wheelchair, the skill of the wheelchai

27、r 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 brake(s) applied, as is the case if the wheelchair is standing on a slope. Tests are also made

28、 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 occupant reaching for an object, or instability while rolling. Tests are also made that dete

29、rmine 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 that direction.vi ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 7176-1:2014INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 71

30、76-1:2014(E)Wheelchairs Part 1: Determination of static stability1 ScopeThis part of ISO 7176 specifies test methods for determining the static stability of wheelchairs. It is applicable to manual and electrically powered wheelchairs, including scooters, with a maximum speed not greater than 15 km/h

31、, 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 applies to the device in a stable, parked state.This part of ISO 7176 provides a method for the me

32、asurement 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 sliding on the ground.This part of ISO 7176 also includes requirements for test reports and informa

For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (incl

35、the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions in ISO 7176-26 and the following apply.3.1active stability-controlled wheelchairwheelchair that actively controls or enhances its stability (by electronic or other means) when static and/or when in motion3.2anti-tip devicedevice which limits t

36、he extent of tipping of a wheelchairNote 1 to entry: Anti-tip devices can operate in forward, rearward, or lateral directions. Some anti-tip devices have a spring suspension. Some running wheels can act as anti-tip devices, but their primary function is to be running wheels. Foot supports can serve

37、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 stability is not considered an anti-tip device.

39、 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.3.5force detection pointpoint at which the force under an uphill wheel is monitoredNote 1 to entry: This can be determined as the point at which a sheet of paper

40、will slide between the wheel and the contact surface.3.6lockable wheelwheel equipped with parking brake, or wheel whose rolling motion is prevented by the means of propulsion (e.g. by hands, levers, motors)3.7non-lockable wheelwheel that is not a lockable wheel3.8parked statestatic position that wil

42、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 instant 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 polyg

43、on 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 uphill wheels. These include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability to pull pieces of paper from beneath the wheels, visual identif

44、ication of when the wheels lift from the test platform, or the use of force-sensing instrumentation.4 Principles4.1 Static stabilityTheoretically, a loaded 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 t

45、he 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 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 F

46、igure 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 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 know

47、n, it is not possible to measure the tipping angle directly. Therefore it is determined with the wheelchair on an adjustable slope test platform. The angle 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 w

49、ping angle when wheel is unlockedFigure 1 Demonstration of wheelchair tipping angles (example in rearward direction)In the case of a test with unlocked wheels, the axis of tip lies in the wheel axles, and the relevant centre of gravity is that of the loaded wheelchair excluding the mass of the unlocked wheels about the wheelchair tips.NOTE Since this is a rather minor effect, it is not explicitly shown in the figures of this part of ISO 7176.4.2 Effectiveness of anti-tip devicesThe wheelchair is brought to a situation i
