Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots and relates to a highly compatible self-calibrating lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to the increasing aging of the population and other issues, the number of users suffering from cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's syndrome or neurodegenerative diseases has increased. These diseases often affect the user's lower limb motor function, which in turn seriously affects the user's quality of life. For these users, timely and effective rehabilitation intervention is extremely important.

[0003] Traditional physical rehabilitation therapy is typically performed by rehabilitation therapists, who assist users through massage, passive limb flexion, and the use of rehabilitation equipment. However, the effectiveness of traditional rehabilitation training largely depends on the experience of the rehabilitation trainer. Currently, the number of rehabilitation therapists is limited, and only a few hospitals can provide high-quality rehabilitation training. Furthermore, traditional manual rehabilitation models lack personalized and precise design for different users, limiting rehabilitation efficiency.

[0004] With technological advancements, highly compatible, self-calibrating lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots are poised to address the shortcomings of traditional physical rehabilitation treatments. These robots can provide highly precise, personalized rehabilitation training for diverse users, more effectively assisting them in restoring lower-limb function. Currently, numerous research institutions and technology companies are developing various types of highly compatible, self-calibrating lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots.

[0005] However, due to high technical requirements, existing highly compatible, self-calibrating lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots have significant limitations. For example, some exoskeletons have limited degrees of freedom, and their movement posture differs from a person's actual gait. As a result, exoskeleton training can only provide limited assistance in improving the user's gait. Another example is that some exoskeletons are large and complex to wear, requiring professional assistance. This makes it difficult for users to use the exoskeleton independently, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, existing exoskeletons only provide active degrees of freedom in the sagittal plane and cannot help users complete daily activities such as turning.

[0006] In summary, most of the existing highly compatible and self-calibrated lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots only provide power drive in the sagittal plane, have limited degrees of freedom, and only help users complete the single process of walking, without considering the rich movement states and functions of the human lower limbs in daily life.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] In order to facilitate the understanding of the technical solutions subsequently introduced in this application, the following is an explanation of the coronal plane, sagittal plane, and horizontal plane: like Figure 1 As shown, the standard anatomical planes of the human body are based on the upright human body, with mutually perpendicular vertical axes (z-axis, consistent with the direction of gravity), coronal axis (x-axis, parallel to the ground from right to left), and sagittal axis (y-axis, parallel to the ground from front to back), thereby constructing three mutually perpendicular planes: a cross-section parallel to the horizontal plane C and perpendicular to the vertical axis (usually the cross-section is understood as the horizontal plane), which can show a certain height horizontal structure; a coronal plane B (frontal plane) that passes through the coronal axis and is perpendicular to the horizontal plane C, dividing the human body into front and back, and is used to observe the front and back layers; a sagittal plane A that passes through the sagittal axis and is perpendicular to the other two planes, dividing the human body into left and right, is convenient for understanding the left and right distribution. These three planes constitute the basis for the division of anatomical space orientation.

[0032] See also Figures 2 to 7 The present application provides a highly compatible self-calibrated lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot, comprising a first lower limb rehabilitation device 1, a second lower limb rehabilitation device 2 and a hip joint adjustment device 3; the hip joint adjustment device 3 connects the first lower limb rehabilitation device 1 and the second lower limb rehabilitation device 2, and the first lower limb rehabilitation device 1 and the second lower limb rehabilitation device 2 are arranged symmetrically about the sagittal plane; the first lower limb rehabilitation device 1 and the second lower limb rehabilitation device 2 each comprise a hip joint exoskeleton component 11, a thigh component 12, a knee joint exoskeleton component 13, a calf component 14 and an ankle joint component connected in sequence. The hip joint exoskeleton component 15; the hip joint exoskeleton component 11 includes three active drive units, the rotation planes of the three active drive units correspond to the horizontal plane, the coronal plane and the sagittal plane respectively, the active drive units whose rotation planes correspond to the coronal plane and the sagittal plane are aligned with the rotation center of the hip joint, and the active drive unit whose rotation plane corresponds to the horizontal plane is aligned with the rotation center of the hip joint with a virtual axis through the remote motion center mechanism 1144. The three active drive units can drive the hip joint to rotate in the horizontal plane, the coronal plane and the sagittal plane respectively, wherein the horizontal plane, the coronal plane and the sagittal plane are perpendicular to each other.

[0033] The highly compatible and self-calibrating lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot of the present application is used for rehabilitation training of the lower limbs. After the highly compatible and self-calibrating lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is worn on the user's lower limbs, the hip joint exoskeleton component 11 corresponds to the user's hip joint, the thigh component 12 corresponds to the user's thigh, the knee joint exoskeleton component 13 corresponds to the user's knee joint, the calf component 14 corresponds to the user's calf, and the ankle joint exoskeleton component 15 corresponds to the user's ankle joint.

[0034] Since the hip joint exoskeleton assembly 11 of the present application includes three active drive units, and the active drive unit of the rotation plane corresponding to the horizontal plane is aligned with the hip joint rotation center with a virtual axis through the remote motion center mechanism 1144, the highly compatible self-calibrated lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot can respectively complete the rotation of the horizontal plane, the coronal plane and the sagittal plane at the position corresponding to the user's hip joint, respectively realizing the flexion / extension of the human hip joint (such as Figure 8 as shown), adduction / abduction (as shown Figure 9 as shown), internal rotation / external rotation (as shown Figure 10 The robot has 3 degrees of freedom (as shown) and aligns the exoskeleton robot with the center of rotation of the human hip joint, thereby improving the rehabilitation effect of the highly compatible self-calibrated lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot.

[0035] Combine Figure 1 , see Figure 14 To accommodate users of different body shapes, the hip joint adjustment device 3 can axially adjust the length between the first lower limb rehabilitation device 1 and the second lower limb rehabilitation device 2. Adjusting the hip joint adjustment device 3 can adjust the length between the first lower limb rehabilitation device 1 and the second lower limb rehabilitation device 2, which is equivalent to adjusting the length between the hip joint adjustment components, which correspond to the hip joints, thereby adapting to users with different hip joints.

[0036] Specifically, the hip joint adjustment device 3 includes two first ball screws 31 arranged symmetrically facing each other, two first driven bevel gears 32, a first driving bevel gear 33, a first rotating shaft 34, a first slide rail 35 and a first fixing member 36; one end of the screw rod portion of the two first ball screws 31 is fixed to the corresponding first driven bevel gear 32; the two first driven bevel gears 32 are both engaged with the first driving bevel gear 33 and positioned on the first fixing member 36, and the first rotating shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the first driving bevel gear 33 to drive the first driving bevel gear 33 to rotate; the first slide rail 35 is fixed to both sides of the first fixing member 36, and the nut end of the first ball screw 31 is slidably set on the first slide rail 35 to adjust the extension length of the screw rod portion of the two first ball screws 31.

[0037] Driving the first rotating shaft 34 to rotate can drive the first driving bevel gear 33 to rotate, and the first driving bevel gear 33 drives the first driven bevel gear 32 to rotate, ultimately achieving the synchronous extension or contraction of the screw rod parts of the two first ball screws 31, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the length between the two hip joint adjustment components.

[0038] The hip joint exoskeleton component 11 can be placed in front of or behind the body. In some examples of this application, the example of placing it in front is used for introduction.

[0039] Combine Figures 1 to 5 , see Figure 15 and Figure 16 The hip joint exoskeleton component 11 is used to realize the flexion / extension of the human hip joint (such as Figure 8 as shown), adduction / abduction (as shown Figure 9 as shown), internal rotation / external rotation (as shown Figure 10 ) core structure with 3 degrees of freedom of rotation.

[0040] One of the three active drive units is the hip joint exoskeleton sagittal plane drive unit 111, which mainly realizes the flexion / extension of the human hip joint (such as Figure 8 As shown); One of the three active drive units is the hip joint exoskeleton coronal plane drive unit 112, which mainly realizes the adduction / abduction of the human hip joint (as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown); One of the three active drive units is the hip joint exoskeleton horizontal plane drive unit 113, which mainly realizes the internal rotation / external rotation of the human hip joint (as shown in FIG. Figure 10 shown).

[0041] The hip joint exoskeleton sagittal plane drive unit 111, the hip joint exoskeleton coronal plane drive unit 112, and the hip joint exoskeleton horizontal plane drive unit 113 are connected via a hip joint transmission rod 114. The hip joint transmission rod 114 allows the active drive units whose rotational planes correspond to the horizontal planes to align with the hip joint rotation center via a virtual axis via a remote motion center mechanism 1144.
