Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular to an upper limb forearm and wrist rehabilitation mechanism based on a double-layer four-bar tensioning structure. Background Art

[0002] As one of the important components of the human motor system, the flexibility of joints plays a very important role in people's daily lives, especially the flexibility of the upper limb forearm and wrist. With the aging of the population, the number of stroke patients is also increasing. In terms of rehabilitation treatment, there are problems such as insufficient number of rehabilitation therapists and high labor costs. Rehabilitation robots have the advantages of accuracy, efficiency and controllability to solve such problems, and can accurately obtain the data of patients during rehabilitation treatment, which is convenient for evaluating rehabilitation treatment. Therefore, rehabilitation robots have great potential in rehabilitation treatment. The mechanical structure of traditional upper limb exoskeleton equipment is too complicated, and the lightweight factor is not considered in the design process. As a result, the designed exoskeleton structure is not only bulky and heavy, but also the mechanical structure may be too rigid, which limits the comfort and functionality of the equipment to a certain extent, increases the burden on the wearer, and also has problems such as relatively large energy consumption. Therefore, it is urgent to design an upper limb forearm and wrist rehabilitation mechanism that can simultaneously have the characteristics of lightweight, stability, and drive compliance. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide an upper limb forearm and wrist rehabilitation mechanism based on a double-layer four-bar tensioned structure. By combining the tensioned integral structure with the mechanical design and utilizing the rigid-flexible hybrid characteristics of the tensioned integral structure composed of a four-bar flexible tensioning unit and a four-bar rigid compression unit, the problems of traditional rehabilitation mechanisms being too complicated, the driving devices being bulky, and the equipment being insufficiently lightweight can be solved.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions: An upper limb forearm and wrist rehabilitation mechanism based on a double-layer four-bar tension structure, which comprises: a forearm tension mechanism and a wrist rehabilitation mechanism, wherein the wrist support seat in the wrist rehabilitation mechanism is connected to the upper fixing ring in the forearm tension mechanism by bolts. When performing forearm training, the palm is opened and passes through the forearm inner tube in the forearm tension mechanism, so that the palm rests at position A (such as Figure 6As shown); when performing forearm pronation training (i.e., the forearm rotates clockwise), the wrist rehabilitation mechanism, the upper fixing ring, the upper support frame, the upper tension spring and the upper tension wire ring rotate clockwise under the drive of the palm, and transmit power to the upper tension wire ring, so that the upper tension spring is stretched under the action of the upper tension wire ring, and the middle support frame and the middle inner ring move downward, and compress the lower tension spring and the lower tension wire ring (as shown Figure 8 is a state diagram of forearm pronation training); during forearm supination training (i.e., the forearm rotates counterclockwise), the wrist rehabilitation mechanism, the upper fixing ring, the upper support frame, the upper tension spring and the upper tension wire ring rotate counterclockwise under the drive of the palm, and transmit power to the upper tension wire ring, so that the lower tension spring is stretched under the action of the lower tension wire ring, and the middle support frame and the middle inner ring move upward, and compress the upper tension wire ring and the upper tension spring (such as Fig. 9 (Figure 1) is the state diagram for forearm supination training.

[0005] The forearm tensioning mechanism is composed of an upper fixing ring, an upper support frame, an upper stretching wire ring, an upper stretching spring, a lower support frame, a lower fixing ring, a lower stretching spring, a lower stretching wire ring, a middle support frame, a middle inner ring, a forearm inner tube, a forearm outer tube and a hairpin. The upper fixing ring is fixedly connected to the forearm inner tube; the upper ends of the four upper stretching wire rings are rotatably connected to the upper support frame and the upper fixing ring, and the lower ends of the four upper stretching wire rings are rotatably connected to the middle support frame and the middle inner ring; the two ends of the upper stretching spring are respectively fixedly connected to the upper support frame and the middle support frame. When the forearm rotates clockwise (such as Figure 6 As an example of placement), the upper tension spring is stretched (such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, when the forearm is reset counterclockwise, the restoring force of the upper tension spring resets its structure (as shown in the figure). Figure 6 The two ends of the lower tension spring are respectively fixedly connected to the lower support frame and the middle support frame, and when the forearm rotates counterclockwise (such as Figure 6 As an example of placement), the lower tension spring is stretched (such as Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, when the forearm is reset clockwise, the restoring force of the lower tension spring is used to reset its structure (as shown in the figure). Figure 6The figure shows the initial position of the structure); the lower fixing ring is fixedly connected to the forearm outer tube; the lower ends of the four lower stretching wire rings are rotatably connected to the lower support frame and the lower fixing ring respectively, and the upper ends of the four lower stretching wire rings are rotatably connected to the middle support frame and the middle inner ring respectively; the forearm inner tube and the forearm outer tube are clearance-matched, and the central axes of the two coincide; the hairpin is integrally formed with the upper fixing ring; the hairpin and the card slot B on the upper fixing ring are clearance-matched with the forearm inner tube and the forearm outer tube, and the central axes of the two coincide after the two are clamped and connected, so as to prevent the movement along the axis under the action of the stretching spring and the stretching wire ring when the forearm is pronated or supinated, thereby affecting the overall height of the mechanism; a card slot B is provided at the upper end of the forearm outer tube for clamping with the hairpin.

[0006] The middle support frame and the middle inner ring form a sliding mechanism. When the rehabilitation mechanism performs pronation and supination movements, the middle inner ring in the sliding mechanism is in clearance with the outer tube of the forearm, and moves downward with the pronation movement and upward with the supination movement (with Figure 6 Placement as an example).

[0007] Two upper stretching springs, an upper support frame and a sliding mechanism constitute a pronation four-bar flexible stretching unit; two lower stretching springs, a lower support frame and a sliding mechanism constitute a supination four-bar flexible stretching unit; two upper stretching wire rings, an upper support frame and a sliding mechanism constitute a pronation four-bar rigid stretching unit; two lower stretching wire rings, a lower support frame and a sliding mechanism constitute a supination four-bar rigid stretching unit; the pronation four-bar flexible stretching unit, the supination four-bar flexible stretching unit, the pronation four-bar rigid stretching unit and the supination four-bar rigid stretching unit each have two groups.

[0008] When this structure is in a stable state (such as Figure 6 As shown in the figure, when movement occurs, when the two groups of four-rod flexible stretching units and two groups of four-rod rigid stretching units formed by the lower support frame, the lower fixed ring and the sliding mechanism are stretched and twisted, the upper fixed ring and the upper support frame rotate counterclockwise. Since the overall height of the mechanism remains unchanged, the sliding mechanism performs an upward translation movement (as shown in the figure). Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the two groups of four-bar flexible stretching units and two groups of four-bar rigid stretching units formed by the sliding mechanism, the upper fixing ring and the upper support frame will perform compression movement, that is, the forearm supination movement; similarly, when the two groups of four-bar flexible stretching units and two groups of four-bar rigid stretching units formed by the upper fixing ring and the upper support frame and the sliding mechanism are stretched and twisted, the sliding mechanism performs a downward translation movement (as shown in the figure). Figure 8As shown in the figure, the two groups of four-bar flexible stretching units and two groups of four-bar rigid stretching units composed of the sliding mechanism, the lower support frame and the lower fixed ring will perform compression movement, that is, forearm pronation movement; utilizing the rigid-flexible hybrid characteristics of the four-bar tensegrity structure composed of the four-bar flexible stretching unit and the four-bar rigid stretching unit, through the four-bar tensioning platform, one compression and one pull, not only can the length be compensated for each other, thereby maintaining the overall height of the mechanism unchanged, but also the corresponding four-bar tensegrity structure can be driven to rotate when the middle plane moves up and down, thereby realizing the conversion from linear motion to torsional motion.

[0009] The wrist rehabilitation mechanism is composed of an upper wrist frame, a lower wrist frame, a wrist spring, a wrist support seat, a wrist swing arc and a wrist arc boss; the upper wrist frame is rotatably connected to the lower wrist frame; the two ends of the wrist spring are respectively fixedly connected to the upper wrist frame and the wrist support seat; the wrist arc boss is matched with the wrist swing arc gap, and the two can rotate with each other in the arc to achieve wrist rehabilitation training. The wrist rehabilitation mechanism 2 can complete the movements of abduction, adduction, extension and flexion rehabilitation training.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following technical effects: based on the human forearm as a bionic model, the present invention combines the tensegrity structure with the mechanism design, and utilizes the rigid-flexible hybrid characteristics of the tensegrity structure, which not only matches the characteristics of human bones and muscles and meets the requirements of movement in various degrees of freedom, but also simplifies the structure of the exoskeleton and realizes a lightweight design. During the movement, the mutual compensation of internal lengths can increase the torsion angle and keep the overall height of the mechanism unchanged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The two groups of four-bar flexible stretching units and the two groups of four-bar rigid stretching units formed by the fixed ring (101) and the upper support frame (102) will perform a compression movement, that is, a forearm supination movement; similarly, when the two groups of four-bar flexible stretching units and the two groups of four-bar rigid stretching units formed by the upper fixed ring (101), the upper support frame (102) and the sliding mechanism perform a stretching and twisting movement, the sliding mechanism performs a downward translation movement, and the two groups of four-bar flexible stretching units and the two groups of four-bar rigid stretching units formed by the sliding mechanism, the lower support frame (105) and the lower fixed ring (106) will perform a compression movement, that is, a forearm pronation movement; utilizing the rigid-flexible hybrid characteristics of the four-bar tensegrity structure formed by the four-bar flexible stretching units and the four-bar rigid stretching units, by pressing and pulling the four-bar tensioning platform, not only can mutual compensation in length be performed, thereby maintaining the overall height of the mechanism unchanged, but also the conversion from linear motion to torsion motion can be achieved by driving the corresponding four-bar tensegrity structure to perform a rotational motion when the middle plane moves up and down.

5.
