PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric wheelchair being operable even at an inclined place without any incorrect operation in the electric wheelchair operated by a driver moving a center of gravity.SOLUTION: The electric wheelchair includes: a seat sensor 16 at a seat an inclination sensor 17 at an electric wheelchair body 1 a mechanism for inclining the seat 15 to the front/back and the left/right and driving wheels moving to the left/right independently. The electric wheelchair detects movement of a center of gravity by an inclination of the seat, further corrects a position of the center of gravity detected by the seat sensor according to the inclination detected by an inclination sensor mounted on the electric wheelchair body, and controls a wheel driving motor as a manipulated variable of the electric wheelchair.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】操縦者が重心を移動する事によって操作する電動車椅子において、傾斜した場所でも誤操作なく操作できる電動車椅子を提供する。【解決手段】座席センサー16を座席に設け、電動車椅子本体1に傾斜センサー17を設け、座席15を前後、左右に傾ける機構と左右独立に動作する駆動車輪を設ける。重心移動を座席の傾きで検出し、更に電動車椅子本体に取り付けられた傾斜センサーで検出した傾きに応じて、座席センサーから検出する重心の位置に補正を加えて電動車椅子の操作量として車輪駆動モータを制御する。【選択図】図1
