In daily life, whether it is shuttling between rooms in the room, going for a walk in the community garden, or going out shopping or seeking medical treatment, the intelligent electric comfort wheelchair can become a reliable "travel partner" for the elderly, helping them to better integrate into social life and maintain a positive attitude towards life.

2. Anti-slip and Easy-to-clean Characteristics of the Armrest Surface Material
(I) Anti-slip Characteristics
Material Selection: Heins Medical Equipment is extremely particular about the selection of the surface material of the armrest of the intelligent electric comfort wheelchair. The soft rubber material with a special formula is carefully selected, which has excellent anti-slip performance. Its surface has a subtle texture, similar to the pattern design on the surface of a car tire, which can significantly increase the friction between the user's hand. Whether in a dry environment or with slightly sweaty hands, the elderly can hold the armrests steadily. Even if the wheelchair encounters bumpy roads during driving, the hands are not easy to slip due to vibration, providing a solid guarantee for the safety of the elderly. For example, in the actual use scenario, an elderly person went out in a wheelchair on a rainy day. Although his hands were a little wet, he was still able to easily control the wheelchair and arrive at his destination smoothly thanks to the anti-slip material of the armrest.
Ergonomic design and anti-slip synergy: In addition to the anti-slip advantages of the material itself, the design of the armrest also fully follows the principles of ergonomics. Its shape and curvature have been measured and simulated by a large number of human data, and can naturally fit the hand holding posture of the elderly. When the elderly hold the armrest, the hand muscles are in a relatively relaxed state, while ensuring a strong grip. This fitting design complements the anti-slip material, further enhancing the anti-slip effect. Even if the grip is maintained for a long time, the hands are not easily fatigued, thus continuously ensuring safety and stability during the ride.
Anti-slip performance in special scenarios: Considering that the elderly may face various complex scenarios when using wheelchairs, the anti-slip performance of the armrest material in special scenarios has also been rigorously tested. In a low-temperature environment, ordinary materials may become hard and slippery, but the rubber material of the wheelchair armrest can still maintain good flexibility and anti-slip properties. In a high-temperature environment, the material will not soften and lose its anti-slip effect due to excessive temperature. Whether in cold winter or hot summer, the elderly can use the wheelchair with confidence without worrying about the surface of the armrest slipping.
(II) Easy-to-clean properties
Material surface characteristics: The soft rubber material used in the armrest has a smooth and dense surface and is not easily contaminated with dust, stains and bacteria. In daily use, even if the wheelchair passes through a dusty area, the dust only adheres lightly to the surface of the armrest and does not penetrate into the material. For general stains, such as water stains and juice stains that are accidentally stained, you can easily remove them by gently wiping with a clean damp cloth. This greatly simplifies daily cleaning and maintenance work for the elderly. For example, when an elderly person is riding a wheelchair, he accidentally spills a drink on the armrest. Just wipe it and the armrest will be clean and tidy again.
Antibacterial treatment: In order to further protect the health of the elderly, Heins Medical Equipment has carried out special antibacterial treatment on the armrest material. During the material production process, high-efficiency antibacterial agents are added, which can effectively inhibit the growth of common bacteria and mold. After testing by authoritative organizations, the bacterial growth rate on the surface of the armrest is significantly lower than that of ordinary materials. This feature not only helps to keep the armrest clean and hygienic, but also reduces the risk of the elderly being infected with germs due to contact with the armrest, and is especially suitable for the elderly with relatively weak immunity.
Convenient cleaning method: Due to the characteristics of the armrest material, in addition to wiping with a damp cloth, it can also be cleaned with a mild detergent. Even if a detergent is used, it will not damage the material and will not affect its anti-slip performance and service life. Moreover, the armrest has a simple structural design, without complex grooves or gaps, and there are no dead corners for cleaning. This makes cleaning work more efficient and convenient. The elderly themselves or their families can easily complete daily cleaning and maintenance tasks, keeping the wheelchair armrests in a clean and hygienic state.
3. Anti-slip and easy-to-clean properties of the pedal surface material
(I) Anti-slip properties
Special texture design: The pedal surface of the Heins Medical Equipment intelligent electric comfort wheelchair adopts a unique concave and convex texture design. These textures are carefully calculated and laid out to ensure sufficient friction while not causing discomfort to the elderly's feet. Compared with ordinary flat pedals, this texture design can significantly increase the friction between the sole and the pedal, effectively preventing the foot from sliding during riding. For example, when the wheelchair accelerates, decelerates or turns, the elderly's feet can step firmly on the pedal to avoid affecting riding safety due to foot displacement.
Friction optimization of materials: The pedal surface material uses engineering plastics with a high friction coefficient. This plastic material is not only strong and durable, but also its surface microstructure can form a tight bite with the sole, further enhancing the anti-slip effect. Even in a humid environment, such as the outdoor ground after rain, the foot pedal can still maintain good anti-slip performance. When the elderly wear shoes with different sole materials, they can get stable support on the foot pedal to ensure the safety of using the wheelchair in various scenarios.
Anti-slip treatment on the edge: In addition to the anti-slip design on the surface, the edge of the foot pedal is also specially treated. The rounded edge design with anti-slip patterns can prevent the elderly from getting scratched by sharp edges when getting on and off the wheelchair. On the other hand, when the feet are close to the edge, it can also provide sufficient friction to prevent the feet from slipping. This all-round anti-slip design provides multiple guarantees for the safety of the feet of the elderly when using wheelchairs.
(II) Easy to clean characteristics
Waterproof and anti-fouling properties of the material: The engineering plastic material used in the foot pedal has excellent waterproof and anti-fouling properties. Water cannot penetrate into the material, avoiding material damage and bacterial growth caused by long-term contact with water. For common stains such as mud, dust, oil stains, etc., due to the smooth surface of the material, stains are not easy to adhere, and it is very convenient to clean. The pedals can be quickly cleaned by simply rinsing with clean water or wiping with a damp cloth. After outdoor activities, the pedals of the elderly are covered with mud. Simply rinse under the faucet to restore them to cleanliness.
Removable design for easy cleaning: In order to further improve the convenience of cleaning, some models of wheelchair pedals adopt a removable design. When the pedals are stained with more stubborn stains, they can be easily removed for more thorough cleaning. The disassembly process is simple and easy to understand, and no special tools are required. The elderly themselves or their families can easily operate it. After cleaning, install it back on the wheelchair in the correct way. This detachable design greatly improves the comprehensiveness and depth of pedal cleaning, ensuring that the wheelchair is always clean and tidy.
Efficiency of cleaning and maintenance: Combined with the anti-slip texture design and material characteristics of the pedals, during the cleaning process, water flow or detergent can quickly remove stains and will not remain in the texture gaps. Because the material is not easy to deform, after multiple cleanings, the anti-slip performance and overall structure of the pedals can still remain stable. This means that the elderly do not need to spend too much time and energy on cleaning and maintaining the pedals when using wheelchairs in daily life, and can focus more on enjoying a comfortable and convenient travel experience.
