摘要

本研究旨在研發一新型助行器，其主要目的是針對一般市售助行器之摺疊方式進行改善，在摺疊方式將為一突破性之改革，絕大多數市售助行器都採用手把左右向內摺疊，而本論文之新型助行器將為手把平行收摺，以協助使用者上下樓梯。

本研究利用機構合成之方法，首先確定設計需求與設計限制，並經過功能性評估篩選出所需之機構配件，此外，本論文藉由 SolidworksS2006電腦輔助設計建立其3D模型，而後利用 ANSYS11.0 模組進行應力、應變、變形量之分析，以確定此新型助行器結構是否穩定，完成建模及分析，最後進行實體模型之製作，為本論文之新型助行器得到驗證，本研究將依據中華民國國家標準規範進行新型助行器之安全測試，經過以上步驟證明本論文新型助行器之可行性。

研製新型助行器同時，亦統整助行器未來所需之功能提出一新型助行器專利，促使相關產業更直接了解助行器可改善之方向。

The purpose of this study is to design and develop a novel walking frame for human body. Most commercial walking frames have a simple folding mechanism by rotating the handles internally. The new design walking flame has a parallel folding mechanism in the front element which can reduce the volume of flame after folding and can be used for stair ascending and descending.

First part of this study presents a literature review and analysis of walking frame for human body. The walking frame referred in this study is mainly from the patents of United States and Taiwan, and the strength and weakness for each design are analyzed.
The study also presents a synthesis mechanism of rapid folding member for novel walking frame. A computer modeling the construct of novel walking was created by SOLIDWORKS2006 and stress, strain and total deformation analysis for this walking flame were performed by ANSYS 11.0 finite element software. Finally, the novel walking frame is passed the mechanical test according to the regulation of CNS.
The feasibility of the novel walking frame has been confirmed, and the results of this study offered a reference and guideline for design and improvement of walking frame.
