PROJETO DE ELEVADOR RESIDENCIAL PARA PESSOAS COM MOBILIDADE REDUZIDA

Abstract

According to a survey conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE 18/06/2018), in Brazil 45.6 million people have some type of physical disability, this number represents 23.91% of the Brazilian population, most of whom live in urban areas, which represents about 38.5 million inhabitants. To help these people in their daily lives and ensure the right of everyone to come and go, buildings need to adapt to accessibility standards, in vertical transport that competes with elevators the rules are also clear and determine a series of items for accessibility in vertical transport, which are defined in the standard; the NBR 12892- 2009 that determines various items of safety and installation of residential elevators. This work presents the design of a residential lift for people with reduced mobility. Such an approach is made with the premise that a single-family lift is equipment capable of improving the quality of life of persons with reduced mobility by giving independence in their vertical displacement. The objective of this work is to present the development of a low-cost residential elevator presenting the structure and configuration of a traction system adapting new technologies of electric energy regeneration to reduce its consumption, using materials easily accessible in the market for its manufacture, which meets up to three floors. This purpose will be achieved from bibliographic research and analysis of similar products developed by specialized companies, with the methodology of product development through descriptive research to achieve the quantitative and qualitative goals proposed. The research shows that it is possible to promote accessibility with few financial resources offering and meeting all safety requirements provided by Brazilian standards for single-family elevators. Given that we live in an era of scarce resources, water and energy crises where alternative resources become a continuous search.
