Exercise assisting device based on elongate pneumatic muscles

Abstract

The invention relates to an exercise assisting device, in particular to an exercise assisting device based on the elongate pneumatic muscles, and aims at solving the problems that an existing exercise assisting device is complex in structure, large in weight, high in cost and poor in flexibility. The exercise assisting device comprises a glove, an air source, a control circuit and five electropneumatic valves; fiver finger cots of the glove are provided with a thumb pneumatic muscle assembly, an index finger pneumatic muscle assembly, a middle finger pneumatic muscle assembly, a ring finger pneumatic muscle assembly and a little finger pneumatic muscle assembly respectively, the thumb pneumatic muscle assembly, the index finger pneumatic muscle assembly, the middle finger pneumatic muscle assembly, the ring finger pneumatic muscle assembly and the little finger pneumatic muscle assembly are each connected with the air source through the corresponding electropneumatic valve, the signal receiving end of each electropneumatic valve is connected with the signal transmitting end of the control circuit, and the air source, the control circuit and the electropneumatic valves form a control and power system. The exercise assisting device is used for assisting hand exercises.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an exercise assisting device, in particular to an extensible pneumatic muscle-based exercise assisting device, which belongs to the field of machinery. Background technique

[0002] In people's production and life, it is often difficult to complete some tasks only relying on the strength of the hand itself. And by providing additional power assistance through external devices, people can easily, efficiently and safely complete tasks that cannot be completed originally. In order to prevent the development of joint stiffness and continuous passive movement of the hand after injury or postoperative, external motion assisting devices can help patients perform continuous passive movement while preventing fatigue and damage caused by self-blocking structures during active movement. The use of external motion assisting devices in people's production can give people a stronger grasping ability, thereby making production and life easie...
