[0043] In order to better understand the working principle of the present application, the working process and the use method of the present application are described as follows:

[0044] The working process of the present application comprises a preparation process and a rehabilitation training process.

[0045] The preparation process comprises the following steps: firstly, according to the rehabilitation needs of the patient (single upper limb rehabilitation training in a sitting posture and whole body rehabilitation training in a standing posture), the device is switched to the corresponding movement mode (anti-parallel quadrilateral movement state or positive parallel quadrilateral movement state), at this time, the device is moved to the vicinity of the patient, the position, height and angle of the handle arm support are adjusted according to the position of the wrist joint when the patient lifts the affected limb horizontally, so that the patient can effectively hold the handle arm support in the initial position of the device, after the adjustment is completed, the universal casters are locked, and the device itself is no longer moved. Then, the axial position of the spring guide pipe in the spring guide pipe fixing seat is adjusted according to the size of the terminal fixed load and the weight of the connecting rod, until the device realizes gravity compensation under no power input, at this time the spring guide pipe is locked. Finally, the patient's hands are manually assisted to hold the end arm support, and after the confirmation is correct, the training can be started.

[0046] The rehabilitation training process can be divided into passive training, active-passive training and active training. The passive training refers to that in the early rehabilitation stage, when the upper limb of the patient cannot move autonomously, the robot provides complete assistance to drive the upper limb of the patient to help the patient complete the training action. Specifically, the first servo module and the second servo module adopt a position control mode, solve the real-time rotation angles of the short connecting rod and the long connecting rod according to the end predetermined rehabilitation trajectory, and drive the end connecting rod to drive the upper limb of the patient to perform passive rehabilitation training movement. The active-passive training refers to that when the patient has certain autonomous movement ability but the strength is insufficient to complete the training task, the robot provides auxiliary force to help the patient complete the training task in a weight-reduced state. Specifically, the first servo module and the second servo module adopt a torque control mode, the current size of the servo motor when the patient naturally holds the handle arm support is measured in real time, the motor torque size required for compensating the weight of the upper limb of the patient is obtained, and the connecting rod end can provide a spatial zero stiffness active-passive movement for balancing the gravity of the limb. The active training refers to that in the later rehabilitation stage, the patient has relatively comprehensive movement ability, and the designated task is completed by the patient autonomously to enhance the muscle strength and movement coordination. Specifically, the first servo module and the second servo module adopt a torque control mode, the torque size required for the servo module to drive the affected limb to return to the predetermined trajectory when the affected limb deviates from the end movement trajectory is calculated through impedance control, and the first servo module and the second servo module drive the short connecting rod and the long connecting rod of the device, and then drive the connecting rod end to complete active movement with adjustable damping.
