Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of human motion assisting robots, in particular to a bending and carrying assisting robot. Background Art

[0002] The aging problem in my country is becoming increasingly serious. It is easy for the elderly to injure their spine and lumbar muscles when bending over to carry items. In addition, people who have been engaged in physical labor such as carrying and loading goods for a long time should also protect their lower limb joints and spine from excessive injuries during the handling process to prevent overload of joints and lumbar muscles, thereby reducing occupational diseases caused by weight-bearing during work. Domestic bending and carrying assistive robots are mostly seen in the field of auxiliary sports equipment, or have poor human-computer interaction experience, insufficient bionic functions, or high costs and complex structures, or complex control methods and single functions, which seriously hinder the popularization of assistive robots in load-bearing conditions or daily activities of the elderly. For example, the patent with application number 201910632695.8 discloses a lower limb exoskeleton assistive device that can achieve multiple degrees of freedom of movement, with four sets of motors providing tension, adjusting the waist position through a waist strap fixing frame, and implementing assistance through servo motor control, but the control system of the device is complex, the volume is large, and the motor mass is large, which is not conducive to flexible use by users. The invention patent with application number 201911024006.3 discloses a lower limb knee joint power-assist robot, which provides power for the thigh and calf to flex their knees through a joint power-assist device. It has a simple structure, but a single function and few working conditions. Therefore, according to the kinematic characteristics of each limb of the human body in the carrying action of a healthy human body, and based on the principles of dynamics and ergonomics, it is of great significance in both the technical field and market demand to design a simple mechanical structure, low cost, easy to use, and lightweight carrying power-assist robot.

[0007] The pelvic device 2 includes a waist support plate 201, a first support frame 202, a hip guard plate 203, a winding motor 204, a central control module 205, a fastening screw 206, a second support frame 207, and a third restraint belt 208. The hip guard plate 203 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the waist support plate 201. The upper ends of the first support frame 202 and the second support frame 207 are fixed to the corresponding positions on the left and right ends of the waist support plate 201 through cylindrical through holes. The lower ends of the first support frame 202 and the second support frame 207 are fixedly connected to the corresponding positions of the hip guard plate 203, forming a stable surrounding structure for the user's buttocks; the winding motor 204 is placed inside the groove on the back of the hip guard plate 203, the central control module 205 is buckled on the groove of the hip guard plate 203, and is encapsulated and fixed into an integral structure by the two fastening screws 206. The two ends of the third restraint belt 208 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the waist guard plate 201, so as to wear the pelvic device 2 tightly on the user's pelvis.

[0008] The hip joint power device 3 includes a pull wire 301, a support tube frame 302, a packaging base 303, a bearing 304, an encoder 305, a flange 306, an angular velocity sensor 307, a fixed pulley set 308, a steering wire 309, a spring baffle 310, an energy storage spring 311, a permanent magnet sheet 312, an electromagnetic sheet 313, a spring cover sheet 314, and a packaging cover plate 315. The lower ends of the two pull wires 301 are respectively inserted into the corresponding slotted positions on the lower part of the inner wall of the packaging cover plate 315 and fixed, and the other ends are wound around the annular groove on the left side wall of the packaging cover plate 315, and then pass upward through the two through holes opened on the packaging base 303, and then pass through the hollow through hole of the support tube frame 302 from bottom to top. The hole is led out from the upper port of the support pipe frame 302 and is wound upward at the corresponding winding position of the winding motor 204. The package cover plate 315 is driven to rotate. The inner ring of the bearing 304 is wrapped around the central axis of the package base 303 and has an interference fit. The encoder 305 shell is inserted into the central circular groove of the central axis of the package base 303 to the left and fixed. The output shaft of the encoder 305 is inserted into the central hole on the left side of the flange 306 and fixed. The package cover plate 315 is buckled into the package base 303 to the left for assembly. During assembly, ensure that the inner diameter of the shaft hole on the left side of the package cover plate 315 forms an interference fit with the outer diameter of the bearing 304, so that the package base 303 and the package cover plate 315 can form an interference fit under the drive of the packaged bearing 304. The package base 303 and the package cover 315 can be flexibly rotated, and the inner wall of the package cover 315 is concentrically fixedly connected with the base on the right side of the flange 306 to ensure that when the package base 303 and the package cover 315 rotate relative to each other, the internally packaged encoder 305 can detect the rotation angle in real time. The angular velocity sensor 307 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the inner wall of the square piece below the package cover 315, and the fixed pulley group 308 is fixed to the corresponding position inside the cylindrical structure of the package cover 315. The starting end of the steering wire 309 is fixedly connected to the raised position of the right side wall of the package base 303, and then the steering wire 309 is placed in the corresponding arc groove of the package cover 315, and then passes through the clamping center of the fixed pulley group 308, and is positioned by the clamping of the fixed pulley group 308. The direction of the straight line is adjusted to the arc, and finally the terminal is welded and fixed at the center position of the lower surface of the spring baffle 310. The upper surface of the spring baffle 310 is welded and fixedly connected with the lower end of the energy storage spring 311. After the lower surface of the permanent magnet sheet 312 is welded and fixedly connected with the upper end of the energy storage spring 311 downward, it is integrally placed in the cylindrical tube structure of the side wall of the packaging cover plate 315. The electromagnetic sheet 313 is fitted and fixed to the inner wall of the spring cover plate 314. The magnetization and demagnetization are achieved by controlling the power on and off of the electromagnetic sheet 313, and the permanent magnet sheet 312 is magnetically attracted and disconnected, thereby controlling the tension and relaxation state of the energy storage spring 311. The spring cover plate 314 is packaged and fixed downward on the cylindrical tube structure port of the outer wall of the packaging cover plate 315.

[0009] The knee joint assist device 4 includes a thigh support plate 401, a fourth restraint belt 402, an upper joint guard plate 403, a torsion spring 404, a cylindrical shaft 405, a lower joint guard plate 406, and a fifth restraint belt 407. The lower end of the thigh support plate 401 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper joint guard plate 403. After a group of torsion springs 404 are respectively placed in the corresponding positions of the lower ends of the upper joint guard plate 403, the lower joint guard plate 406 is aligned upward with the upper guard plate 403 through corresponding through holes and is installed and fixed through the through holes with the cylindrical shaft 405 to form a rotating sub-mechanism with a damping effect of the torsion spring 404. The fourth restraint belt 402 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the upper joint guard plate 403, and the fifth restraint belt 407 is fixedly connected to the corresponding position of the lower joint guard plate 406, providing a binding and fixing function for the user.

[0010] The software control system of the bending and carrying assisting robot provides a function switching control method, which consists of two parts: power source assisting control and non-power source assisting control. The use function is determined by the angle value detected by the posture angle sensor 101, and it is judged that the upper body of the human body is critical to the state of bending over to carry heavy objects, that is, when the angle value is greater than 5 degrees, the winding motor 204 is prepared to start the power source bending assisting function. In order to enhance the accuracy of the judgment of the posture of the human body bending over to carry heavy objects and avoid unsafe assistance to the user due to misoperation, a secondary judgment is performed at the same time, that is, whether the left and right encoders 305 change synchronously and at the same speed. When they change synchronously and at the same speed, the left and right electromagnetic sheets 313 are started, and the corresponding permanent magnet sheets 312 are removed by electromagnetic repulsion, and the energy storage springs on the left and right are attracted and fixed. 311 is in a non-working state at the beginning, and the winding motor 204 transmits power downward by driving the pull wire 301, and finally pulls the packaging cover plate 315 to rotate, thereby providing a rotational torque for the user's hip joint, and realizing the assistance required in the process of upper body extension after lifting heavy objects. When the above judgment result is no, it is judged that the user is in a non-bending assistance state, and another judgment is made. When the left and right angular velocity sensors 307 are in a periodic mirror change state, the power-assisted function without power source is started, and the power supply of the winding motor 204 is turned off, and the power supply of the left and right electromagnetic sheets 313 is turned off at the same time. At this time, the permanent magnetic force is used to tightly attract and fix them with the corresponding permanent magnetic sheets 312, and the energy storage spring 311 starts to work. Then, when the user is walking, the periodic charging and releasing of the energy storage spring 311 can realize the power-assisted function of gait walking without power source.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: based on the principles of human dynamics and kinematics, a bending assistance function is provided for workers who are engaged in long-term weight-bending operations or users with hip joint movement disorders. The motor cable transmission provides assistance to users in the process of bending over to lift heavy objects, reduces the waist load, and relieves the burden on the hip joint and lumbar spine. It can also be converted into a power-free assistance function through functional adjustment, providing thigh lifting and knee flexion assistance for users in the process of weight-bearing walking, thereby reducing the burden on the hip and knee joints during walking, which not only reduces the damage to human joints during long-term weight-bearing operations, but also increases the load-bearing capacity and prolongs the working life.

[0026] Reference Figure 7 The software control system of a bending and carrying assisting robot described in the present invention provides a function switching control method, which consists of two parts: a power source assisting control and a non-power source assisting control. The use function is determined by the angle value detected by the posture angle sensor 101, and it is judged that the upper body of the human body is critical to the state of bending over to carry heavy objects, that is, when the angle value is greater than 5 degrees, the winding motor 204 is prepared to start the power source bending assisting function. In order to enhance the accuracy of the judgment of the posture of the human body bending over to carry heavy objects and avoid unsafe assistance to the user due to misoperation, a secondary judgment is performed at the same time, that is, whether the left and right encoders 305 change synchronously and at the same speed.

Then, the steering wire (309) is placed in the corresponding arc groove of the packaging cover (315), and then passes through the clamping center of the fixed pulley group (308). Through the clamping positioning of the fixed pulley group (308), the direction adjustment from straight line to arc is realized.Finally, the terminal is welded and fixed at the center position of the lower surface of the spring baffle (310), and the upper surface of the spring baffle (310) is welded and fixedly connected to the lower end of the energy storage spring (311). After the lower surface of the permanent magnet sheet (312) is welded and fixedly connected to the upper end of the energy storage spring (311) downward, it is integrally placed inside the cylindrical tube structure of the side wall of the packaging cover plate (315). The electromagnetic sheet (313) is fitted and fixed to the inner wall of the spring cover plate (314). By controlling the power on and off of the electromagnetic sheet (313), magnetization and demagnetization are achieved, and the permanent magnet sheet (312) is magnetically attracted and disconnected, thereby controlling the tension and relaxation state of the energy storage spring (311). The spring cover sheet (314) is packaged and fixed downward on the cylindrical tube structure port of the outer wall of the packaging cover plate (315). The upper body support plate mechanism (1 ) comprises an attitude angle sensor (101), a first main support plate (102), a first restraining belt (103), a rotating shaft cover (104), a second main support plate (105), and a second restraining belt (106); the lower end circular axis of the first main support plate (102) is inserted upward into an axis groove opened at the lower end of the second main support plate (105), and then is integrally placed in the rotating shaft cover (104) and packaged and fixed to form a rotating pair; the two attitude angle sensors (101) are respectively fixed to corresponding positions of the upper ends of the first main support plate (102) and the second main support plate (105); the first restraining belt (103) is fixed to corresponding positions of the first main support plate (102); the second restraining belt (106) is fixed to corresponding positions of the second main support plate (105); and the first restraining belt ( 103) and the adjacent end of the second restraint belt (106) can be snap-connected and fixed, so that the upper body support plate mechanism (1) can be tightly worn on the upper body of the user. The software control system includes a software control system for a bending and carrying assistance robot. The system provides a function switching control method, which consists of two parts: a power source assistance control and a non-power source assistance control. The use function is determined by the angle value detected by the posture angle sensor (101), and it is judged that the upper body of the human body is in a critical state of bending over to carry heavy objects. That is, when the angle value is greater than 5 degrees, the winding motor (204) is ready to start the power source bending assistance function. In order to enhance the accuracy of the judgment of the posture of the human body bending over to carry heavy objects and avoid unsafe assistance to the user due to misoperation, a secondary judgment is performed at the same time. That is, it is determined whether the left and right encoders (305) change synchronously and at the same speed. When they do, the left and right electromagnetic sheets (313) are started, and the corresponding permanent magnet sheets (312) are removed and fixedly connected by electromagnetic repulsion. Then, the left and right energy storage springs (311) are in a non-working state, and the winding motor (204) drives the pull wire (301) to transmit power downward, and finally pulls the packaging cover plate (315) to rotate, thereby providing a rotational torque for the user's hip joint, and realizing the assistance required in the process of upper body extension after lifting heavy objects. When the above judgment result is no, it is determined that the user is in a non-bending assistance state, and a judgment is made again. When the left and right angular velocity sensors (307) are in a periodic mirror change state,The power-assist function without power source is activated, the power supply of the winding motor (204) is turned off, and the power supply of the left and right electromagnetic sheets (313) is turned off at the same time. At this time, the corresponding permanent magnetic sheets (312) are tightly attracted and fixedly connected by the permanent magnetic force, and the energy storage spring (311) starts to work. When the user is walking, the power-assist function without power source is realized through the periodic charging and releasing of the energy storage spring (311).
