关于 TriPawd 犬用轮椅

TriPawd 是一款专为失去一条前肢的犬只设计的轮椅。两只大尺寸后轮提升了整个装置的稳定性与灵活性。弯曲金属管架前端配置一个小前轮，用以支撑玻璃纤维材质的胸托。弯曲的框架为犬只留出了充足的活动空间，使其余肢体行走时不受干扰。支撑杆高度可调，适用于不同体型的犬只。装置无需任何绑带固定，犬只可自行踏入或离开，并能在无需主人协助的情况下自由坐下与卧倒。

独特属性: This project was to design an assistive device that will help 3 legs-handicapped dogs walk and stand on their own. Two large rear wheels were used to improve both the stability and mobility of the device, while a front small wheel on the metal tube frame connecting the two wheels provided strong support for the chest cup. The bent metal frame provided just enough space for the dog to walk without any interference of his legs. The pole is height-adjustable for different sizes of dogs.
尺寸与包装: 685 mm x 630 mm x 550 mm
标签: Handicapped dog, dog wheelchair, animal assistive device, product design, product innovation
生产技术: Bent metal frame, fiberglass chest cup
设计挑战: One key aspect while collecting measurements of the dog is that dogs don’t understand what is happening in the same way human subjects would understand. Another challenging factor was that animals are not able to communicate and provide the same level of feedback as a human, regarding comfortability and overall effectiveness of the device. Since it was such a huge challenge to measure the accurate size and shape of the dog’s upper body, the designer produced a series of different-sized chest cups, followed by the repetition of measurements.
研究: This project introduces the design and development of a new assistive wheeled product for handicapped dogs. The device is specifically targeted for a 5-year-old mastiff who lost one of his front legs due to a gunshot accident in California, U.S. This study involves research, design, and usability testing with a series of working prototypes on the dog.
灵感: Sadly, the dog had no bone structure left due to his left front leg being completely removed from surgery. Because of this, the design direction was focused on a wheeled type of mobility device called a dog wheelchair due to its similar functionality to a human wheelchair. This device allows the dog to jump on and off easily without any strapping mechanisms on his body. This will also allow the dog to sit and lie down freely without his owner’s assistance.
项目周期: The project started in July 2019 in Tempe, Arizona, U.S, and finished in December 2020.
操作流程: This device helps 3 legs-handicapped dogs walk and stand on their own for longer periods of time without any assistance from the owners.
