The Design Of The Tennis Wheelchair At The Basis Of The Man-machine Engineering

The man-machine engineering is the scientific research methods and the achievement that use anthropometry,physiology,psychology and so on, apply human body characteristic, ability and active limit data to the design of mechanical system and the environment, enable the operator work safely, comfortable and efficiently. The man-machine engineering is a discipline which study and solve "the human - machine - environment" to make them unified and to make the man-machine system harmonious.The wheelchair tennis is a special sport which depends on arms to drive the vehicle in place of walk. With the human society advancement, the disabled sports receive gradually care, because of the character of the tennis wheelchair, the lower limbs disabled may carry on the suitable outdoors sports by the tennis wheelchair. More and more the disabled person use the tennis wheelchair, the safe,the high efficiency,the riding comfortableness and so on man-machine engineering aspect were obtained more values of the designer. The tennis wheelchair was put into the system of "the human - machine - environment", and was carried on the design according to the man-machine engineering principle. The man-machine engineering design of the tennis wheelchair relates the disabled person's safety and the health directly, according to "humanist" principle, the designer pays great attention to the unified of the human - wheelchair - environment in the process of tennis wheelchair design.This article at the base of the anthropometry has carried on the three-dimensional modeling by using the man-machine project module of the CATIA software; In view of the different consumption level, under PRO/E's three dimensional software environment has carried on the modeling design; has carried on the static intensity analysis to the tennis wheelchair by using I-DEAS software; and developed a man-machine project analysis and the appraisal system by combining the man-machine characteristic and the tennis wheelchair product. In the man-machine project analysis and the appraisal system has carried on the tennis wheelchair man-machine engineering simulation,the work space contain qualify,balance analysis and body posture comfort level analysis and appraisal. The tennis wheelchair can satisfy the security, the efficiency and the comfortable request, can enable the disabled user to achieve the aim that build up strength and have the healthy body .
