Abstract

The invention discloses a corrugated pipe-shaped soft actuator and a hand rehabilitation training device. The corrugated pipe-shaped soft actuator comprises a hollow corrugated pipe section; a first connector pipe section connected with one end of the hollow corrugated pipe section; a second connector pipe section connected with the other end of the hollow corrugated pipe section; and a first installation support arranged on the outer wall of the first connector pipe section and the outer wall of the second connector pipe section so that the corrugated pipe type soft actuator can be installed on an installation base face. The wave height of the hollow corrugated pipe section has the maximum value and the minimum value in the circumferential direction, the maximum value is larger than the minimum value, and the axial section where the maximum value of the wave height of the hollow corrugated pipe section is located is perpendicular to the back face of the finger portion of the rehabilitation glove. As a driving unit, the corrugated-pipe-shaped soft actuator is not prone to lateral bending, and the using effect and the wearing comfort can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots and hand health care and rehabilitation, in particular to a bellows-shaped soft body actuator and a hand rehabilitation trainer. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, the aging of the social population is increasing, and the number of hemiplegia caused by diseases such as stroke is increasing. At the same time, the number of people with impaired hand motor function due to accidents such as production accidents and traffic accidents is also increasing year by year. These patients are often unable to take care of themselves due to limb motor dysfunction, which brings a lot of pressure to the family and society. Robot-assisted health care rehabilitation training can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and can quantitatively evaluate the patient's rehabilitation progress, and carry out training step by step according to the patient's rehabilitation status. [0003] In hand health reh...
