About Wf01tr Ren-rolstoel

WF01TR is 'n ren-rolstoel wat ontwikkel is vir kortafstand-baanitems. Die ontwerp is liggewig en styf, en ondersteun hoë versnelling. Liggaamshouvas en stabiliteit tydens draaie is verbeter. Die raam is 'n koolstofveselversterkte plastiek-monocoque, ontwerp met eindige-element-analise. Elke eenheid word op bestelling vervaardig. Die sitposisie word met 'n sitposisie-simulator vasgestel, en 'n driedimensionele skandering van die liggaamsvorm word op die sitplek toegepas. Die doel is om elke atleet te help om sy of haar eie vermoëns ten volle te benut.

About the A' Design Award in Goud

Wf01tr Ren-rolstoel is 'n wenner van die A' Design Award in Goud, 'n geweldig prestigieuse erkenning wat toegeken word aan eersteklas-, wonderlike en uitstaande ontwerpe. Wenners in Goud is uiters innoverende, visionêre en glansryk verblindende skeppings wat die vernuf, wysheid en bekwaamheid van hul ontwerpers weerspieël. Daar word verwag dat Wf01tr Ren-rolstoel 'n hoogs geprese, tendensskeppende en monumentale uitvinding is wat ongekende waarde lewer. Hierdie ontwerp wat die A' Design Award in Goud gewen het, is 'n skouspelagtige, gerespekteerde projek wat die grense van kuns, wetenskap, ontwerp en tegnologie in hoë mate bevoordeel en uitbrei. Wf01tr Ren-rolstoel wek intense gevoelens van begeerte, roep passie op, moedig kreatiwiteit aan en boei ons.

Unique Properties
A racing wheelchair developed and designed to maximize the athlete's own abilities and improve competitive performance. The design focusing on the short-distance event is ultra-lightweight, high-rigidity and high acceleration, while improving body hold and stability when cornering. The seat position is determined by the seat position simulator SS01, including the optimization of the rowing of the players, and the manufacture is done order made.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 650 mm x Depth 2100 mm x Height 700 mm

Design Challenge
The challenges in the development of the wheelchair were to flexibly adapt to the seat positions set for each athlete using the simulator, to achieve the rigidity and strength of a high performance wheelchair, and to give it a sleek styling while achieving a high level of productivity.
Research
The development team intended from the outset to apply the findings from the development to other wheelchairs, exploring how to set up an efficient athlete's riding position and the structural design of a high performance wheelchair. In addition to driving tests and development of fabrication techniques based on prototype prototypes, we designed the frame using FEM analysis.
Inspiration
This project began from the development of a racing wheelchair for the Paralympic Games. As the development progresses, the design team began to understand the importance of having an athlete fit perfectly in the right place.
In case of prototype for test, the seating position affected the record. And the obvious data has made us easier to understand experienced athletes and communicate with each other much more about wheelchair development.
Project Duration
The project started in August 2017 in Japan and finished in September 2019
Operation Flow
The operating procedure is the same as that common in competitive wheelchairs. 3D scanned body shapes are applied to the seat to enhance the sense of unity between the wheelchair and the athlete. Stable and high cornering performance without disrupting the athlete's concentration during competition.
