Abstract

The study deals with the design and development of a mechanism to lift the wheelchair to carry the person to the podium. This project evaluates the design and analysis of industrial scissor lift. In this project, the lifting mechanism is used in which the platform is lifted vertically with the help of scissor mechanism. The main objective of the scissor mechanism is to reach the desire height or level. The design is developed by keeping in mind that the lift can be operated by mechanical means by using a linear actuator so that the overall cost of the scissor lift is reduced. In this case, the design of the lift works with electric power. Also, such design can make the lift more compact and much suitable for medium scale work. Scissor lifts, a staple of mechanical design, especially in competitive robotics, is a type of linkage that can be used to raise a load to some height, when acted upon by some force, usually exerted by the linear actuator. The position of this actuator, however, can affect the mechanical advantage and velocity ratio of the system. Hence, there needs to be a concrete way to analytically compare different actuator positions.
