BRAKE SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR EQUIPPING AN ELECTRICAL PROPULSION WHEELCHAIR, ELECTRICAL PROPULSION AID KIT AND ELECTRICAL WHEELCHAIR COMPRISING SUCH A SYSTEM.

摘要

The invention relates to a braking system capable of being mounted in an electrically powered wheelchair, comprising at least: two hydraulic brakes each capable of being mounted on a respective driving wheel of said wheelchair, said brakes being activatable by an electric signal and by manual control; a control device (36) which can be controlled by a user and provides said electric signal; a manual control unit (42) for activating and deactivating said brakes independently of said electric signal; a module (31) for controlling the brakes, which generates a signal for controlling said brakes on the basis of said electric signal provided by the control device and on the basis of the set point for controlling the speed of the wheelchair; said brakes being actuated by means of an electromagnetic actuator (41) which is controlled by an activation signal which is a function of the control signal generated by said control module (31).
