About Wf01tr Cathair-cuibhle Rèisidh

'S e cathair-cuibhle rèisidh a th' ann an WF01TR a chaidh a leasachadh airson tachartasan tracaidh astar-ghoirid. Tha an dealbhadh aotrom agus rag, agus a' toirt taic do luathachadh àrd. Tha grèim a' chuirp agus seasmhachd rè lùbadh air an leasachadh. 'S e monocoque de phlastaig neartaichte le snàithleach carboin a th' anns an fhrèam, air a dhealbhadh le mion-sgrùdadh eileamaidean crìochnaichte. Tha gach aonad air a dhèanamh a rèir òrdugh. Tha suidheachadh na suidheachain air a shuidheachadh le insealbhadair suidheachadh suidheachain, agus tha sganadh trì-thaobhach de chumadh a' chuirp air a chur an sàs anns an t-suidheachan. 'S e an t-amas cuideachadh a thoirt do gach lùth-chleasaiche na comasan aca fhèin a chleachdadh gu h-iomlan.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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
Tags: Wheelchair, Paralympic, Sports, Athletes, Carbon fiber,
Production Technology: CFRP Monocoque Frame
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.
