Elbow joint exoskeleton rehabilitation training robot

Abstract

The invention discloses an elbow joint exoskeleton rehabilitation training robot which comprises a forearm exoskeleton, a big arm exoskeleton, a driving mechanism and a shoulder joint limiting protection mechanism, and the forearm exoskeleton and the big arm exoskeleton are used for being arranged at the forearm position and the big arm position of the upper limb of a patient in a sleeving mode respectively; the forearm exoskeleton and the big arm exoskeleton are hinged at positions corresponding to elbow joints of a patient; the shoulder joint limiting protection mechanism is used for limiting movement of the shoulder joint of the patient so that the included angle between the big arm and the trunk of the patient can be kept unchanged in the sagittal plane, and the shoulder joint limitingprotection mechanism can be detachably arranged at the end, close to the shoulder joint of the patient, of the big arm exoskeleton; the driving mechanism is used for driving the forearm exoskeleton to drive the forearm of the patient to bend and stretch around the elbow joint. The elbow joint exoskeleton rehabilitation training robot can be specially applied to elbow joint training, and thereforethe training effect of promoting elbow joint movement function recovery of a patient can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of design and production of medical rehabilitation robots, in particular to an elbow joint exoskeleton rehabilitation training robot. Background technique [0002] Rehabilitation training for patients through active and passive exercise methods is currently a research hotspot in sports medicine and rehabilitation medicine. The continuous development and maturity of medical robots and mechanical-assisted exoskeleton technology has shaped the new research direction of rehabilitation robots. Research in this field is of great significance to the development of our country. The field has broad application prospects and development space. In particular, the aging trend and the younger trend of sports injuries in my country are currently aggravating. In order to face this severe challenge, more rehabilitation robots with fine classification and precise functions need to be developed and put into application. [...

Problems solved by technology

At present, there are few mature products of upper limb/elbow joint exoskeleton rehabilitation training robots put into use in the market. The more representative ones are the ARMin series of upper limb rehabilitation robots developed by the University of Zurich in Switzerland and the Titan of the University of Pennsylvania, which uses a ratchet structure and rope traction drive. Arm upper limb auxiliary training system, and most of its exoskeleton power is concentrated on the shoulder joint, called upper limb rehabilitation, but in fact it can only perform a c
