Throughout the years, most electric wheelchairs on the market have adopted a gearbox with a brush motor design, but few have adopted ithub motorThe design of electric wheelchairs with wheel hub motors has gradually emerged over time and with the development of technology. Hub motor is a motor that embeds the motor into the hub, transfers power to the hub, and drives the hub. The motor is responsible for providing driving force, without the need for other transmission devices, directly driving the surface and providing more efficient power output. Greatly simplify the mechanical part of electric wheelchairs. Due to some advantages of hub motors, they are likely to have a significant market share in the future electric wheelchair market.
The advantages of hub motors
1. Omitting a large number of transmission components to simplify the structure of electric wheelchairs
For ordinary electric wheelchairs, motors, electromagnetic brakes, and wheels are all essential. These components not only have a high weight and make the structure of the wheelchair more complex, but also have issues with regular maintenance and failure rates. But the hub motor solves this problem very well. In addition to a simpler structure, electric wheelchairs driven by hub motors can achieve better space utilization and significantly higher transmission efficiency.
2. Better handling and stability: The embedded motor directly transmits the driving force to the hub, which can better control the speed and direction of the hub, providing better controllability and operation process.
3. Fewer repairs and maintenance: The structure of hub motors is simple, mainly due to their higher efficiency and smaller size. The motor has a smaller load and is more durable, making maintenance and upkeep more convenient.
4. More efficient power output: Compared to traditional electric wheelchair motors, hub motors can provide more efficient power output because the motor is directly connected to the hub without energy loss. And the environment is harsh, facing various impacts such as water and dust, and there are also high requirements for sealing. At the same time, the design also needs to consider the heat dissipation issue separately for the hub motor.
Electric wheelchairs using hub motors not only have the above advantages, but also provide a better driving experience and a more convenient way to travel and carry. The implementation of the hub motor requires upgrading the entire electric wheelchair first, in order to replace components such as seats, braking devices, support frames, and redesign the complete electrical control system.
In short, wheel hub motors will add a colorful touch to the development of electric wheelchairs, and it is a technological innovation of electric wheelchair manufacturers, which can bring users a better driving experience and more convenient ways of carrying.
