Wheelchairs are an important means of transportation for the elderly and disabled. However, the movement of wheelchairs on long curbs and stairs is restricted. In this study, a wheelchair for climbing stairs was developed based on a mechanical transmission system that rotates the entire driving part through a link structure and an actuator to change the speed. The first mode drives the caterpillar, and the second mode drives the wheels. When driving on flat ground, it uses landing gears and wheels, and when climbing stairs, it uses the caterpillar; accordingly, a stable driving is possible. The stability of the transmission is confirmed through stress analysis. The method used in our study makes it is possible to manufacture lightweight wheelchairs because a single motor drives both the wheel and caterpillar through the transmission system.

Abstract. Hydro-Mechanical Transmission (HMT) is a dual-power flow transmission system in which power is transferred parallel by mechanical transmission and hydraulic transmission. There are four types of HMT: torque-diffluence and torque-conflux, torque-diffluence and speed-conflux, speed-diffluence and speed-conflux, speed-diffluence and torque-conflux, when gear pair and planetary train are used as power diffluence or conflux mechanism respectively. And the result of kinematics characteristics analysis indicates that only torque-diffluence and speed-conflux type of HMT can be used as the vehicle transmission system because its output speed characteristics and pump speed characteristics can meet the requirements of the vehicle drive.

Methods for analysis of general mechanical transmission systems with a hydrodynamic torque converter (HTC) are presented. The methods are adapted for computer calculations. The properties of the HTC must be known, either explicitly as speed and torque characteristics, or implicitly as internal geometry (blade angles, etc.). Linear relationships between the torques and between the speeds of the shafts of the transmission system (except the HTC) are easily formulated. The HTC has coupled, non-linear, relationships for torques and speeds. Different ways of including these non-linear equations are presented. This can be implemented in a computer program. Solving the equation system yields the torque and speed of each shaft of the transmission system. Power losses can be handled.
