About Wf01tr Njinga ya Olumala Yothamangitsa Mpikisano

WF01TR ndi njinga ya olumala yothamangitsa mpikisano yopangidwa kuti izigwiritsidwa ntchito pa mipikisano ya mtunda waufupi pa bwalo lothamangira. Kapangidwe kake ndi kopepuka komanso kolimba, ndipo kamathandiza kuthamanga mwachangu kwambiri. Kagwiridwe ka thupi ndi kukhazikika pokhota zawongoleredwa bwino. Chimango chake ndi monocoque ya pulasitiki yolimbitsidwa ndi ulusi wa carbon, chopangidwa pogwiritsa ntchito njira ya finite element analysis. Njinga iliyonse imapangidwa mogwirizana ndi zofuna za wogula. Malo okhalapo amakonzedwa pogwiritsa ntchito chida choyerekezera malo okhalapo, ndipo chithunzi cha mbali zitatu cha maonekedwe a thupi chimagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga mpando. Cholinga chake ndi kuthandiza wothamanga aliyense kugwiritsa ntchito luso lake mokwanira.

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.
