The equipment required for the wheelchair factory to obtain the license
The testing equipment required for the wheelchair factory to obtain the license mainly follows the GB/T 18029 series and other relevant standards. Here are some common testing devices:
Static stability testing equipment:
Used to verify the anti-rollover capability of wheelchair vehicles, in accordance with GB/T 18029.1-2008 and ISO 7176-1 standards. The equipment consists of a high-strength testing platform, angle adjustment device, restraint system, angle measurement device, and test dummy. It can complete three basic working conditions tests: forward tilt, backward tilt, and side tilt.
Electric wheelchair comprehensive dynamic fatigue tester:
Complies with the requirements of GB/T 18029.8, ISO 7176.8, etc. It adopts a dual-roller drive system and can be equipped with obstacle simulation to simulate complex road conditions. It can apply rated to overloaded dynamic loads and complete tens of thousands of cycle fatigue tests to detect the performance attenuation and failure modes of components such as the frame, wheels, and transmission system.
Wheelchair swing hammer impact testing machine:
Used to evaluate the structural strength under sudden impacts, meeting the ISO 7176 and GB/T 12996-2012 standards. Equipped with a swing hammer mechanism that can be adjusted in angle and height, it provides various specifications of impact hammers, allowing for impact tests on key parts such as the backrest, handwheel ring, and footrest.
Electrical performance and electromagnetic compatibility testing equipment:
Includes electromagnetic compatibility testing systems, battery performance testing equipment, electrical safety testers, etc. The electromagnetic compatibility testing system can simulate different electromagnetic environments and complete the radiation emission limit testing and disturbance resistance verification for electric wheelchair vehicles; the battery performance testing equipment can detect the charging and discharging cycle life, capacity degradation rate, and short-circuit protection function; the electrical safety tester focuses on the detection of insulation resistance, grounding resistance, and other indicators.
Standard test dummy:
Compliant with GB/T 18029.11-2008 requirements, made of materials with characteristics similar to human soft tissues, supporting various modular weight combinations, providing standardized human load for static stability tests and dynamic fatigue tests.
Furthermore, depending on the specific testing requirements, additional equipment such as a durability testing machine for wheelchair brake and braking devices, a force testing machine for wheelchair armrests, a dual-roller dynamic road condition durability testing machine for wheelchair vehicles, a measurement platform for wheelchair vehicle turning radius, and a flame retardancy testing instrument for wheelchair seats (backs) may also be required.
