Embodiment 1

[0045] This embodiment provides a robot for assisting patients with upper limb dysfunction to carry out rehabilitation training, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the robot of this embodiment includes a mechanical arm 1 , a lifting module 2 , a control box 3 and a host computer 4 . The control box 3 is provided with a control module 5 and a power supply module 6 . The power supply module 6 is used to supply power to the mechanical arm 1 , the lifting module 2 and the control module 5 , and the lifting module 2 is electrically connected to the control module 5 and the host computer 4 respectively. see figure 1 , the mechanical arm 1 specifically includes an elbow motor 11 , a shoulder motor 12 and a cantilever 13 .

[0046] When the robot is in the non-training mode, the lifting module 2 can drive the mechanical arm 1 to move up and down.

[0047] Specifically, the lifting module 2 includes a drive unit 21 and a lifting mechanism 22 . The power supply module 6 supplies power to...

Embodiment 2

[0057]This embodiment provides a method for controlling a robot, which is used to control the robot shown in Embodiment 1. The control method includes the following steps: when the robot is in the training mode, control the lifting module to stop moving, so as to fix the height of the mechanical arm. Thus, avoiding the sudden change of the height of the robotic arm during the rehabilitation training process, pulling and stretching the patient's muscles.

[0058] Further, such as image 3 As shown, the control method includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 101, control the electrical connection between the power supply module and the lifting module.

[0060] When the robot has just started or received a non-training mode switching instruction, the robot is in the non-training mode at this time, and the control power supply module is electrically connected to the lifting module. Go to the lifting module to adjust the height of the robotic arm, and adjust the robotic arm t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot and a control method thereof. The robot includes a mechanical arm, a lifting module and a control module; when the robot is in a non-training mode, the lifting module is used to drive the mechanical arm for lifting motion; when the robot is in a training mode, the control module uses It is used to control the lifting module to stop moving, so as to fix the height of the mechanical arm. The invention realizes the safety interlocking function of the robot, that is, when the robot is in the training mode, the height of the lifting module cannot be adjusted, and the height of the mechanical arm is locked, thereby avoiding the pulling and stretching caused by the sudden change in the height of the mechanical arm during the rehabilitation training process The condition of the patient's muscles appears, which improves the safety of rehabilitation training.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a robot for rehabilitation of a patient's upper limbs and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, robots are commonly used to assist patients in rehabilitation training. For example, an upper limb rehabilitation robot is generally provided with a handle or a button, through which the robot's mechanical arm can be adjusted to an appropriate height, and the user can perform upper limb rehabilitation training. However, in the process of rehabilitation training, existing rehabilitation robots have the risk of sudden changes in the height of the robotic arm due to accidental touches on the handles or buttons, which in turn pull and stretch the patient's muscles, posing a safety hazard. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a robot and its control method in order to overcome ...
