P14007: Wheelchair Assist: Detailed Design Review Che-An Lee – Industrial and System Engineer Dan Schuster – Mechanical Engineer Phil Medalie – Mechanical Engineer Tom Elliot – Electrical Engineer
Agenda • Project Overview • Mechanical System • Electrical System • Assembly Plan • Test Plan • Risk Assessment • Project Timeline
Project Overview • Assist manual wheelchair users on slopes • Mechanical system • Ratchet system • Brake system • Electrical system • Charging system • Expected outcome • Functional prototype • Engineering design experience • Basis for future senior design project
Critical Component Analysis • Shaft • Bearing Block Bolts • Ratchet Tooth
Ratchet Tooth Analysis S = 60200 psi F = 0.25 in Y = 0.431 for 72 teeth DP = 24 V Disregard for low speeds W = 270 lbf of allowable tooth load (will see ~115 lbf)
Bolt Analysis • Bolt Shear • Sy = 70 ksi • Ssy = 40 ksi
Buck-Boost Regulator Circuit 5V with 80% Efficiency *Ordered Premade*
DC Generator • Motor 2.7W • 24V • 30RPM
Battery with Battery Protection • 10,000mAh @ 5V Outputs up 2ADraws up to 1A • Dimensions: 2.9" x 1" x 4.9" / 72mm x 24mm x 125mm • Weight: 300g • 80% Efficient
Breadboard Proof of Concept • Used a Linear Regulator which is less then 50% efficient • Used a Hand Crank motor • Used a 3.4V Battery
PCB Product Ready to Be Ordered Top Bottom
Electrical Energy Harvesting Overview • Battery = Average 80% Efficiency • Buck-Boost = Average 85% Efficiency • Motors = 2.7W each = 5.4W at 30RPM • 3.456 W generation at 30RPM • 691.2 mA generation at 5V, at 30RPM
Benefits to design • Easily can covert to AC Motor if Needed. • PCB Fits on top of the Buck-Boost Regulator therefore saving space. • Battery can be charged by a wall charger too. • Arduino boards and other electronics can also be power by battery therefore opening up further applications and not limiting it to phone charging.
Test Plan • Test Equipment • Plywood base • Car Jack • Cables • Tape Measure • Scale • Multimeter • Fish hook scale or similar • Circuit simulation software • Phase of Testing • Component • Ratchet System • Circuit Design • System • Mechanical System • Electrical System • Usability Testing
