Pneumatic clutch and wearable rehabilitation assisting equipment

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical rehabilitation, and particularly relates to a pneumatic clutch and wearable rehabilitation assisting equipment. The pneumatic clutch comprises an air cavity and a vacuum pump, the inner wall of the air cavity is provided with protrusions which can be meshed with each other, and the two opposite sides of the air cavity are each provided with through holes for flexible wires to penetrate through; and the vacuum pump is arranged outside the air cavity and communicated with the air cavity through an air pipe. According to the pneumatic clutchand the wearable rehabilitation assisting equipment, braking of the flexible wires is achieved only through the air cavity and the vacuum pump, the advantages of being simple in structure and convenient to operate are achieved, the working state of the equipment can be rapidly switched so as to improve the working efficiency, the air cavity is made of flexible materials, the equipment is light and convenient to wear, the freedom degree of the joints cannot be limited, and secondary harm to the human body cannot be caused when the moving posture is poor; and the human body friendliness and thecomfort level of the wearable rehabilitation assisting equipment can be remarkably improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical rehabilitation, and in particular relates to a pneumatic clutch and wearable rehabilitation assisting equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, the existing wearable rehabilitation assisting devices are mostly based on rigid structures, such as connecting rods, motors, etc., which will add extra burden to the wearer, and due to the inherent characteristics of rigid structures, the comfort and human friendliness of the device are difficult to obtain. ensure. Therefore, lightweight and soft wearable devices have obvious advantages and better application prospects compared with traditional rigid structures. [0003] In the process of realizing the present invention, the applicant finds that there are at least the following deficiencies in the prior art: [0004] In the prior art, most flexible and wearable rehabilitation assisting devices use flexible wires such as elastic ropes or pull ...
