Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lower limb rehabilitation, and in particular to a three-posture lower limb rehabilitation training robot. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the aging population, the issue of elderly care has become increasingly prominent and has become an important social issue we are facing. As medical care and living standards continue to improve, the requirements of the elderly for their later life are also increasing. The current elderly care issues are mainly: (1) Most elderly people have difficulty in moving due to declining physical functions and cannot take care of themselves in daily life. (2) Sports rehabilitation training helps to restore the elderly's motor ability. However, traditional treatment methods mainly rely on the experience of medical staff and are difficult to meet the high-intensity and repetitive training requirements. In addition, there is a shortage of therapists, and most elderly people with movement disorders find it difficult to receive scientific and effective rehabilitation training. (3) Currently, lower limb rehabilitation robots are mostly used in hospitals and rehabilitation institutions. Most of them are large in size and cannot meet the needs of patients living at home. Under such circumstances, the demand for advanced rehabilitation equipment has increased significantly.

[0003] At present, many institutions at home and abroad have conducted in-depth research on lower limb rehabilitation robots. In the literature "Kawamoto, H., Sankai, Y. (2002). Power Assist System HAL-3 for Gait Disorder Person. In: [8] Miesenberger, K., Klaus, J., Zagler, W. (eds) Computers Helping People with Special Needs. ICCHP 2002. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 2398. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.", HAL is a wearable assisted walking exoskeleton robot developed by the University of Tsukuba, Japan, and commercialized by Cyberdyne, Japan. It mainly includes structures such as an exoskeleton frame, sensors, and controllers. The exoskeleton frame is mainly used to fix the limbs and transmit power; HAL breaks away from the limitations of the treadmill, and patients can perform exercise training in a real environment. However, for patients in the early and middle stages of rehabilitation, their own strength is insufficient to maintain standing, and such equipment cannot provide sufficient support.

[0004] The paper "Shi Xiaohua. Research on Sitting / Lying Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot [D]. Yanshan University, 2014" describes a sitting / lying lower limb rehabilitation robot. This robot includes two mechanical training legs and an adjustable seat. Each leg has two degrees of freedom, enabling hip and knee rehabilitation training. Three training modes are proposed for the robot system, tailored to the patient's condition: passive training based on trajectory traction, power-assisted training based on myoelectric control, and active resistance training based on force tracking. However, this device can only perform leg training in both sitting and lying positions; it does not support standing training and can only be performed in a fixed position. Summary of the Invention

[0059] The working principle and working process of the application are as follows:

[0060] Before use, according to the height of the user, the hinged positions of the connecting rod 5-2, the back plate 5-4 and the seat plate frame 5-10 are adjusted; according to the length of the user's thigh, the connection positions of the upper thigh connecting rod 3-6 and the lower thigh connecting rod 3-7 are adjusted; according to the length of the user's calf, the connection positions of the upper calf connecting rod 3-8 and the lower calf connecting rod 3-9 are adjusted; according to the width of the user's hips, the threaded rod 3-2 is rotated to adjust the distance between the two sliding blocks 3-3. The waist is fixed on the back plate 5-4 by a belt, the thigh is fixed on the upper thigh connecting rod 3-6 and / or the lower thigh connecting rod 3-7 by a belt, the calf is fixed on the upper calf connecting rod 3-8 and / or the lower calf connecting rod 3-9 by a belt, and the foot is fixed on the foot support 3-10 by a belt.

[0061] In a sitting position, the user sits on the seat plate 5-3, under the drive of the knee joint motor 3-13 and the ankle joint motor 3-15, the upper calf connecting rod 3-7 and the lower calf connecting rod 3-8 drive the user's calf to move, completing the flexion and extension movement of the knee joint; the foot support 3-10 drives the foot to move, completing the flexion and extension movement of the ankle joint.

[0062] When the user changes from a sitting position to a standing position, the knee joint motor 3-13 is decelerated by the knee joint reducer 3-14 and then transmits power to the calf upper link 3-8 and the calf lower link 3-9, driving the user's calf to retract toward the bottom of the seat plate 5-3; at the same time, the ankle joint motor 3-15 is decelerated by the ankle joint reducer 3-16 and then transmits power to the footrest 3-10, adjusting the user's feet to a horizontal state. Then the electric push rod 5-7 is lifted to drive the back panel 5-4 to move upward, and drive the user's upper body to move upward; while the back panel 5-4 moves upward, the seat panel 5-3 is driven to rotate around the partition 5-6 through the connecting rod 5-2; at the same time, the hip joint motor 3-11 is decelerated by the hip joint reducer 3-12 and then the power is transmitted to the upper thigh connecting rod 3-6 and the lower thigh connecting rod 3-7, driving the user's thigh to rotate around the hip joint to a vertical state; the knee joint motor 3-13 is decelerated by the knee joint reducer 3-14 and then the power is transmitted to the upper calf connecting rod 3-8 and the lower calf connecting rod 3-9, driving the user's calf to rotate around the knee joint to a vertical state; at the same time, the ankle joint motor 3-15 is transmitted to the footrest 3-10 through the ankle joint reducer 3-16, adjusting the user's feet to a horizontal state, and the user stands completely upright in a standing position.

[0063] In the standing state, the lifting electric push rods 5-7 stop working, and the user can perform gait training driven by the lower limb exoskeleton device 3, including flexion and extension of the hip joints, knee joints and ankle joints, and can complete movements such as walking, leg extension, and leg lifting. At the same time, the rear wheel drive device 6 can drive the robot forward to match the walking movement; in addition, the user can perform a certain range of hip joint abduction movement by himself. This movement requires the patient to perform it independently without additional power assistance. The specific process is: the patient is in a standing state, one leg is standing in a vertical state, and the other leg is abducted. At this time, the hip joint connection block 3-5 rotates around the slider 3-3, and the spring 3-4 limits the rotation angle.

[0064] The process of the user changing from standing to sitting is the reverse process of changing from sitting to standing, which will not be described in detail.

[0065] When the user changes from a sitting position to a lying position, the knee joint motor 3-13 decelerates through the knee joint reducer 3-14 and transmits power to the calf upper connecting rod 3-8 and the calf lower connecting rod 3-9, driving the user's calf to retract toward the bottom of the seat plate 5-3; the lifting electric push rod 5-7 drives the back plate 5-4 to move upward, driving the user's upper body to move upward; while the back plate 5-4 moves upward, it drives the seat plate 5-3 to rotate around the partition 5-6 through the connecting rod 5-2; the hip joint motor 3-11 decelerates through the hip joint reducer 3-12 and transmits power to the thigh upper connecting rod 3-6 and the thigh lower connecting rod 3-7, driving The user's thigh rotates around the hip joint; the knee joint motor 3-13 transmits power to the calf upper link 3-8 and the calf lower link 3-9 after being decelerated by the knee joint reducer 3-14, driving the user's calf to rotate around the knee joint; at the same time, the ankle joint motor 3-15 transmits power to the footrest 3-10 through the ankle joint reducer 3-16, adjusting the user's foot to a horizontal state; when the user is in a semi-upright state (about half of the stroke when switching from sit to stand), the pitch adjustment push rod 5-1 drives the partition 5-6 to rotate around the frame 1, driving the user's entire body to a horizontal state, at this time in a lying state.

[0066] In the lying position, the user performs flexion and extension movements of the hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint driven by the lower limb exoskeleton device 3, and can complete movements such as leg lifting and leg extension.

[0067] The process of the user changing from lying position to sitting position is the reverse process of changing from sitting position to lying position, which will not be described in detail.

[0068] When the user changes from a standing position to a lying position, the upper thigh connecting rod 3-6, the lower thigh connecting rod 3-7, the upper calf connecting rod 3-8, and the lower calf connecting rod 3-9 drive the knee joint to bend forward and take a half step forward (about 20 cm) under the drive of the hip joint motor 3-11, the knee joint motor 3-13 and the ankle joint motor 3-15; the lifting electric push rod 5-7 drives the back panel 5-4 to move downward, driving the user's upper body to move downward; when the user is in a semi-upright state (about half of the stroke when switching from sitting to standing), the seat panel 5-3 contacts the user's calf, and the pitch adjustment push rod 5-1 drives the partition 5-6 to rotate around the frame 1, driving the user's entire body to a horizontal state.

[0069] The process of the user changing from a lying position to a standing position is the reverse process of changing from a standing position to a lying position, which will not be described in detail.

[0070] Any matters not described in the present invention are applicable to the prior art.
