[0026] The present application will be described in further detail below through specific embodiments and in connection with the drawings.

[0027] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, this embodiment provides a knee joint prosthesis, including an upper knee joint body 100, a lower knee joint body 200, and a hydraulic rod 300. The upper knee joint body 100 is pivotally connected to the lower knee joint body 200 via a pivot shaft 210. An offset pivot shaft 110 is provided on the upper knee joint body 100. One end of the hydraulic rod 300 is pivotally connected inside the lower knee joint body 200, and the other end is pivotally connected to the offset pivot shaft 110, so that when the upper knee joint body 100 rotates relative to the lower knee joint body 200, it can drive the hydraulic rod 300 to extend and retract. A pivot hole 10 for mounting the pivot shaft 210 is provided on the upper knee joint body 100. 1. A compression seam 120 is provided on the upper body 100 of the knee joint. The compression seam 120 is located above the pivot hole 101. A connector 130 for connecting the patient's leg is provided at the top of the upper body 100 of the knee joint. A first threaded connection hole for installing the connector 130 is provided on the upper body 100 of the knee joint. A locking hole is provided in the first threaded connection hole. The locking hole passes through the compression seam 120 and communicates with the pivot hole 101. A locking pin 140 is provided in the locking hole. The locking pin 140 can abut against the pivot shaft 210. A locking member 150 for limiting the locking pin 140 is provided at the top of the locking hole.

[0028] Specifically, during use, the user wears the upper knee joint 100 on the end of the thigh through the connector 130. When walking, after the user steps and the prosthesis touches the ground, the user's thigh presses against the upper knee joint 100. The part of the upper knee joint 100 above the compression seam 120 is pressed downward, which causes the locking pin 140 to press downward. The locking pin 140 can press against the lower pivot 210, thus preventing the upper knee joint 100 from rotating relative to the lower knee joint 200. When the user steps with the other leg, the leg with the knee prosthesis will not wobble or swing, improving the stability and safety of the knee prosthesis.

[0029] Among them, the locking component 150 uses a locking screw.

[0030] See Figures 1-7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, an adjusting bolt 160 is provided on the upper body 100 of the knee joint. The adjusting bolt 160 can be inserted downward from the top of the upper body 100 of the knee joint and can be inserted into the compression gap 120. When the upper body 100 of the knee joint is not under pressure, there is a gap between the adjusting bolt 160 and the lower surface of the compression gap 120.

[0031] The number of adjusting bolts 160 is multiple, and the multiple adjusting bolts 160 are set on the outer periphery of the upper body 100 of the knee joint.

[0032] Specifically, the adjusting bolt 160 is arranged on the knee upper body 100, the adjusting threaded hole is arranged on the top of the knee upper body 100, the adjusting bolt 160 is arranged in the adjusting threaded hole, the end of the adjusting threaded hole screwed into the adjusting threaded hole can extend into the compression gap 120, and the adjusting bolt 160 leaves a gap with the lower surface of the compression gap 120 when the knee upper body 100 is not under pressure. When the user walks, after the leg equipped with the knee prosthesis completely touches the ground, when the user steps with the other leg, the weight of the user is pressed on the connecting head 130, the connecting head 130 presses the top of the knee upper body 100, so that the upper surface of the compression gap 120 of the knee upper body 100 is pressed downward, so that the locking clamping column 140 in the locking hole tightly presses the pivot shaft 210, so that the pivot shaft 210 cannot rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the knee prosthesis.

[0033] Wherein, through the setting of the adjusting bolt 160, the locking clamping column 140 can adjust the pressing force on the pivot shaft 210 according to the different weights of the user, so that the knee prosthesis can ensure the stability when used by users with different weights.

[0034] Wherein, the bearing is arranged between the pivot shaft 210 and the pivot hole 101, which ensures the smoothness of the knee upper body 100 and the knee lower body 200 when the user steps.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1-7 The hydraulic rod 300 includes a hydraulic shell 310, a plunger 320, a plunger rod 330 and a cylinder sleeve 340. The cylinder sleeve 340 is inserted into the hydraulic shell 310, the plunger 320 is slidingly arranged in the cylinder sleeve 340, one end of the plunger rod 330 is fixedly connected with the plunger 320, and the other end of the plunger rod 330 extends out of the hydraulic shell 310 and is connected with the biasing shaft 110.

[0036] The hydraulic shell 310 includes a cylinder body 311 and an upper cover 312. The upper cover 312 is rotatably and sealingly arranged on the cylinder body 311, and the plunger rod 330 is slidingly sealed with the upper cover 312.

[0038] The bottom inner ring of the upper cover 312 is provided with an inclined annular flow channel 313, and the depth of the inclined annular flow channel 313 gradually increases from zero; the side wall of the cylinder body 311 is provided with a speed regulation channel for connecting the first cavity 410 and the fourth cavity 440, and the speed regulation channel corresponds to the inclined annular flow channel 313. By arranging the inclined annular flow channel 313, the flow rate of the liquid discharged from the speed regulation channel can be adjusted, so that the extension and retraction rate of the hydraulic rod 300 can be adjusted, so that the rotation speed of both the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 of the knee joint can be adjusted, and then the user's pace can be adjusted. By arranging the inclined annular flow channel 313, the knee joint prosthesis can adapt to users of different heights and body shapes, so that the user can adjust the pace to suit himself.

[0039] When the plunger 320 slides downward, the plunger 320 can block the second horizontal hole 341, so that the second horizontal hole 341 is located in the third cavity 430.

[0040] Specifically, when the user lifts the limb wearing the prosthesis to take a step, the user lifts the knee joint prosthesis, the plunger rod 330 extends outward relative to the hydraulic shell 310, and the plunger rod 330 drives the plunger 320 to move upward, as shown in Figure 3As shown, at this time, the plunger 320 blocks the second horizontal hole 341 on the cylinder sleeve 340, the plunger 320 extrudes the hydraulic oil in the second cavity 420, the hydraulic oil enters into the fourth cavity 440 from the second cavity 420 via the second vertical hole 342 of the cylinder sleeve 340, then the hydraulic oil enters into the third cavity 430 from the fourth cavity 440 via the second horizontal hole 341 of the cylinder sleeve 340, then the hydraulic oil enters into the first vertical hole 322 from the third cavity 430 via the first horizontal hole 321 of the plunger 320, then enters into the first cavity 410 via the first one-way valve 510 arranged in the first vertical hole 322, in addition, the hydraulic oil in the fourth cavity 440 can enter into the speed regulation channel from the inclined annular flow channel 313, then enters into the first cavity 410 via the speed regulation channel; see Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the plunger 320 blocks the second horizontal hole 341 on the cylinder sleeve 340, the plunger 320 extrudes the hydraulic oil in the second cavity 420, the hydraulic oil enters into the fourth cavity 440 from the second cavity 420 via the second vertical hole 342 of the cylinder sleeve 340, then the hydraulic oil enters into the third cavity 430 from the fourth cavity 440 via the second horizontal hole 341 of the cylinder sleeve 340, then the hydraulic oil enters into the first vertical hole 322 from the third cavity 430 via the first horizontal hole 321 of the plunger 320, then enters into the first cavity 410 via the first one-way valve 510 arranged in the first vertical hole 322, in addition, the hydraulic oil in the fourth cavity 440 can enter into the speed regulation channel from the inclined annular flow channel 313, then enters into the first cavity 410 via the speed regulation channel; see

[0041] Then, see Figure 5 As shown, when the affected limb wearing the knee prosthesis falls to the ground, at this time, the plunger rod 330 is withdrawn inward relative to the hydraulic shell 310, the plunger rod 330 drives the plunger 320 to move downward, at this time, the plunger 320 does not block the second horizontal hole 341 on the cylinder sleeve 340, the plunger 320 extrudes the hydraulic oil in the first cavity 410, the hydraulic oil enters into the fourth cavity 440 from the first cavity 410 via the second horizontal hole 341 of the cylinder sleeve 340, then the hydraulic oil enters into the second cavity 420 from the fourth cavity 440 via the second vertical hole 342 of the cylinder sleeve 340, in addition, the hydraulic oil in the first cavity 410 can enter into the inclined annular flow channel 313 from the speed regulation channel, then enters into the second cavity 420 via the second vertical hole 342 of the cylinder sleeve 340; see Figure 6As shown, at this time, the plunger 320 is lowered to a certain height so that the plunger 320 blocks the second horizontal hole 341 on the cylinder sleeve 340, so that the hydraulic oil in the first cavity 410 enters the inclined annular flow channel 313 through the speed regulating channel, and then flows from the inclined annular flow channel 313 into the fourth cavity 440, and then quickly enters the third cavity 430 from the fourth cavity 440 through the second horizontal hole 341 of the cylinder sleeve 340, and then enters the second cavity 420 from the third cavity 430 through the second one-way valve 520; The above process is the whole process of the knee prosthesis of the user after stepping and kicking the leg to contact the support on the ground, so that the prosthesis can swing smoothly, and then when the user steps steadily, the user's weight is pressed on the connecting head 130, and then the compression seam 120 is compressed to lock the clamping column 140, so that the clamping column 140 tightly presses the pivot shaft 210, ensures that the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 of the knee joint are relatively fixed, and improves the stability of the knee prosthesis. In addition, the user can rotate the cylinder body 311 and the upper cover 312, so that the speed regulating channel corresponds to different positions of the inclined annular flow channel 313, so as to adjust the flow rate of the hydraulic oil, so as to adjust the angular velocity of the swing of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 of the knee joint, and then adjust the step length.
