 INTRODUCTION

Thousands of families around the world have been affected by

disability. Approximately 650 million individuals are disabled in
the world today . Nearly 21.9 million people in underdeveloped
countries like India have some form of disability . Regardless of
their infirmities, these individuals must get up every day. Morning
and live life to the fullest. For most people, this is only achievable
with the assistance of a wheelchair. A wheelchair is a gadget that
can empower and enable a disabled person to live a normal,
independent life. Wheelchairs have progressed dramatically over
time, from manual wheelchairs to motorized wheelchairs.
Nonetheless, these Wheelchairs have not been able to meet the
demands of people with disabilities. As a result, it's vital that the
Disabled people's problems are recognized, and wheelchairs are
designed to meet their needs.
 Origion of problem

Because of our way of life, the number of sufferers is increasing

every day. Patients are overcrowding hospitals, but they are unable
to provide better treatment for their patients due to a lack of
technology or the high cost of the existing equipment, which is out
of reach for most people and hospitals management. Patients who
are paralyzed suffer the most . The biggest issue that patients face
is while transferring from a bed to a stretcher and vice. The
paralyzed patient's biggest concerns are pressure injuries and falls.
The major goal of our project is to create a low-cost multipurpose
wheelchair that is affordable in our country without sacrificing any
of the services provided by traditional wheelchairs method. A
multipurpose wheelchair is a medical tool that allows patients to
shift from bed to chair stretcher and the other way around. Even if
there are electrically operated devices, there is no such technology.
Equipment that is quite costlier.
 OBJECTIVE

In this project, we will transform this into a system that is more appropriate
and affordable for all citizens. When compared to the traditional technique of
manufacture, this product is less expensive. Furthermore, this device is
conveniently portable and can be used in hospitals, residences, and old age
homes. Patients may be agitated. while manually changing from one location
to another We assert in this project that no such concerns will arise. The
patients are not in direct contact with one other during their shift. In a single
use, multipurpose Commode chair, walker for awakening treatment, and other
wheelchairs are available. The versatile wheelchair's goals are outlined below
• People who have difficulty walking should have their mobility and quality of life
improved.
• The goal is to create a low-cost multipurpose wheelchair.
• Trying to get the patient out of bed as soon as possible.
• To provide a wheelchair that can be adjusted in height.
• To reduce the risk of pressure injuries and falls.
• To utilise a versatile wheelchair both inside and outside the house
 ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE

Many individuals miss the benefits of manual wheelchairs over motorized

wheelchairs. Lightweight wheelchairs, for starters, are nearly usually manual. For
someone who does not have a lot of bodily strength, this might be a significant
selling feature. They're easier to manage, and even if power chairs don't need to
be pushed, they're still more convenient. There's always the possibility that the
battery will run out. Another advantage of physical labour is that it is less
expensive. The advantage of wheelchairs is that they can go practically anyplace. It
is not necessary for a person to They are concerned about whether the ground is
lumpy or uneven, just as they would be with a power vehicle. Wheelchair. Manual
wheelchairs have a number of drawbacks, one of which being the cost. the upper
part of the body Yes, the activity is beneficial to people who, on the other hand,
push themselves to the limit This identical action might cause harm over time,
which is something wheelchair users aim to avoid. Whenever it is possible other
disadvantages of a manual include the need to fill the tyres and the time it takes to
do so. Keeping the chair's body in straight line Manual wheelchairs may not have
all of the bells and whistles that electric wheelchairs provide. Whistles that
powerful ones provide to handicapped people, but they can be dangerous.
Compared to the bulky power chairs, these are less expensive and more efficient

 FABRICATION PROCESS

The process of fabricating machines and structures out of raw

metal materials is known as metal fabrication. To make the
final product, the process includes grinding, cutting, burning,
welding, machining, shaping, and assembling. During the
construction of a multipurpose wheel chair, three metal
fabrication processes are used.
• GRIDING:
Grinding is the removal of metal using abrasives that are joined together
to form a revolving wheel. When the moving abrasive particles come into
contact with the work piece, they each operate as a small cutting tool.
Particle removing a very small chip from the work piece because grinding
is a real metal cutting process, it is a subset of cutting. Mineral processing
industries and the cement industry use a lot of grinding.
• CUTTING:

Cutting metal pipes into two or more pieces or smaller portions is a common production
procedure. The metal being cut in many applications is brand new and has yet to be moulded
into anything specific. Pre-shaped metals, such as bars and measured panels, are submitted
for cutting in other applications. Cuts are carried out using a variety of machines, ranging from
lasers and plasma torches to more complex, high-tech components of equipment .
• WELDING:
Welding, along with cutting, is one of the most common metal fabrication
processes among hobbyists. Welding is the technique of connecting two separate
metal components together. Sheets, panels, bars, and forms may be employed in
welding applications. It doesn't matter as long as the component is composed of
metal .Welding can be done with a variety of procedures and tools. A weld is
frequently done with the use of a torch. Heat is applied at the point where the two
components are supposed to be connected. First, there were a lot of metal
workers. With welding projects in mind, pursue the field of metal fabrication
• PAINTING:
The most frequent substance used to protect steel is paint. Steel structure
paint methods have evolved over time to comply with industrial
environmental legislation and to meet the demands of bridge and building
owners for increased durability. Previously, there were five and six coat
systems. Typically three coat alternatives have taken their place, and the most
recent formulations have concentrated on application in increasingly tighter
spaces. The number of coats is reduced, while the individual film thickness is
increased.
 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

As a result of this project, we manufactured a better multipurpose

wheelchair for transferring patients from bed to stretcher and vice versa at a
cost that is more appropriate in the Indian context. Wheelchair analysis was
carried out both theoretically and practically. During the practical
examination The weight of 110 kg was loaded and using a multifunctional
wheelchair, I was able to lift myself. The cost of a versatile wheelchair is
6400Inr, which is relatively affordable when compared to other wheel chairs.
On the international market, there are both electric and manual wheel
chairs. With the use of material failure theories, the design was validated.
There are five of them, so we took two of them here. The maximum shear
stress theory and the maximum main stress theory were the two theories
that were used. For a design to be safe, the maximum permitted stress must
always be less than the material's ultimate strength. Since we've been using
galvanized iron, it has a maximum tensile strength of 350 MPa. Shear stress
theory states that the maximum shear stress created in the structure should
be lower than the yield stress of the material.
 CONCLUSION

For caregivers, transferring patients from bed to wheelchair is a difficult task.

Because paralyzed patients may grow obese, the way we handle them could
become a life-threatening dilemma. According to studies, the number of injuries
sustained by caregivers while transferring patients is extremely high. Even if it exists,
very advanced equipment; nonetheless, it is prohibitively expensive for most
people. As a result, we've come up with a budgeted advanced three-in-one
wheelchair that includes a screw and nut mechanism which is a reasonably priced
option easy to construct and maintain In comparison to other wheelchairs, the total
cost of the versatile wheelchair is quite low. On the international market, there are
both electric and manual wheelchairs. The wheelchair will allow you tomove about
more easily. To patients to a considerably superior method one caretaker can easily
do the patient's task in a short amount of time and with minimal complexity,
because there is no direct touch with the patient during the moving, the amount of
disruption is limited. Despite the fact that our project is less expensive, it does not
compromise the quality of service offered by traditional methods. The effort
required to turn the handle can be considerably reduced by replacing the screw nut
mechanism with a ball screw nut mechanism. As a result, the product requires
further refinement in order to provide significant benefit to patients.
