Due to the complex structure, the device is too heavy, making it inconvenient for patients to wear and use, and it is easy to cause harm to the wearer and cannot be worn for a long time. Moreover, most of them are open-loop control and cannot perform closed-loop control on the output of the actuator. At the same time, the structure of traditional finger force feedback exoskeleton devices is a fixed rotating shaft, while the human index finger bone rotates in multiple axes and the force application direction changes, and most of the traditional exoskeleton structure designs cannot change the rotating shaft.

[0037] The following further clarifies the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and specific implementation manners. It should be understood that the following specific implementation manners are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0038] As Figures 1-8As shown in the figure, a specific embodiment of the lightweight hand exoskeleton force feedback device of the present invention includes: a drive rod 1, a driver 2, a gasket 3, a gasket 4, a first rotating link 5, a second linkage link 6, a second rotating link 7, a finger sleeve 8, a pressure sensor fixing member 9, a first linkage link 10, a drive rod fixing member 11, a driver fixed shaft fixing member 12, a driver power fixing member 13, rotating bearings 14-25, a sliding bearing 26, a pressure sensor 27, and a force feedback closed-loop control module. Specifically, the second rotating link 7 is an arc-shaped rod, and the first rotating link 5, the second linkage link 6, and the first linkage link 10 are all straight rods.
[0039] As Figure 1 shown, a finger sleeve 8 is worn on the fingertip of the index finger of the human hand. The finger sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the pressure sensor fixing member 9 and the fingertip of the index finger through a strap. The finger sleeve 8 is fixed above the index finger of the human hand through a strap, and the pressure sensor fixing member 9 is fixed below the index finger of the human hand through a strap. When the human hand bends to simulate the state of grasping an object, the driver 2 pushes and pulls the drive rod 1 to drive the first rotating link 5 to couple the first linkage link 10 and the second linkage link 6 via the second rotating link 7 to drive the finger sleeve 8 to flex and extend, and apply force feedback to the fingertip. At this time, the state of the human hand and the lightweight hand exoskeleton force feedback device of the present invention is as Figure 2 . At the same time, the pressure sensor 27 in the pressure sensor fixing member 9 monitors the actual force feedback value, compares the expected force feedback value F c and the actual force feedback value F r in size. According to the difference between the expected force feedback value F c and the actual force feedback value F r , the DC wireless servo motor force feedback value increment Δd is calculated and superimposed on the DC wireless servo motor force feedback value of the previous control cycle as the DC wireless servo motor force feedback value increment of the current control cycle for output, so as to realize the force feedback closed-loop control module, as Figure 8 shown.
[0040] As Figures 1-3 shown, the driver fixed shaft fixing member 12 and the driver power fixing member 13 are fixed above the back of the user's hand through a strap. In particular, the driver power fixing member 13 is fixed close to the wrist, and the driver fixed shaft fixing member 12 is fixed close to the index finger. Both are fixed on the side close to the index finger. The driver 2 of the present invention is fixed above the driver power fixing member and the driver fixed shaft fixing member, and the driving direction of the driver 2 is from the wrist to the index finger direction.
[0041] The sides of the driver fixed shaft fixing member 12 and the driver power fixing member 13 close to the back of the hand are both arc-shaped designs, as Figure 3 shown, which conforms to the curvature of the back of the human hand, thus avoiding possible harm to the human hand when the present invention is worn.
[0042] Among them, a rotating bearing hole is provided at the bottom of the drive fixed rotating shaft fixing member 12 close to the middle finger direction. A rotating bearing 14 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. A rotating bearing hole is provided inside the first end of the first linkage rod 10, and a rotating bearing 17 is placed in the rotating bearing hole, as Figure 5 shown. Through the rotating bearing 20 and the rotating bearing 25, the first linkage rod 10 is rotatably connected to the left side of the drive fixed rotating shaft fixing member 12.
[0043] The drive 2 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a drive pull rod 1, and the drive pull rod 1 can move freely within a certain range, so as not to generate resistance to the free grasping action of the human hand. In this embodiment, when the human hand bends to simulate the state of grasping an object, the drive pull rod 1 is locked and cannot move freely. The force feedback closed-loop control module calculates the required expected force feedback value and converts it into a driving force value and outputs it to the drive 2. The drive 2 pushes and pulls the drive pull rod 1 to drive the first rotating link 5 to drive the first linkage rod 10 and the second linkage rod 6 through the second rotating link 7 to drive the finger sleeve 8 to flex. At this time, the state of the human hand and the lightweight hand exoskeleton force feedback device of the present invention is as Figure 2 shown.
[0044] As Figure 4 shown, the drive pull rod fixing member 11 is rigidly fixed to the top of the drive pull rod 1 near the index finger end, locking the rotating shaft. The drive pull rod fixing member 11 is aligned with the right side surface of the drive pull rod 1 and there is no relative movement. A rotating bearing hole is provided at the top of the drive pull rod fixing member 11, and a rotating bearing 16 is placed in the rotating bearing hole.
[0045] Referring to Figure 1 On the left side of the drive pull rod fixing member 11, it is rotatably connected to the first end of the first rotating link 5 through the gasket 3, the rotating bearing 16 and the rotating bearing 17. The gasket 3 is located between the drive pull rod fixing member 11 and the first rotating link 5 to prevent skew when the drive pull rod fixing member 11 and the first rotating link 5 rotate.
[0046] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 5As shown, a chute is provided at the central position of the first rotating link 5. The sliding bearing 26 is placed in the chute and can slide freely. A rotating bearing hole is provided at the first end of the second linkage link 6. The rotating bearing 20 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. A rotating bearing hole is provided at the second end of the first linkage link 10. The rotating bearing 18 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. The gasket 4, the first rotating link 5, and the first linkage link 10 are sequentially placed on the left side of the first end of the second linkage link 6. The rotational connection between the parts is achieved through the rotating bearing 20, the gasket 4, the sliding bearing 26, and the rotating bearing 18. Through the slidable sliding bearing 26, the rotating shafts of the first rotating link 5 and the second rotating link 7 can be changed along with the movement of the human hand, so as to achieve the purpose that a lightweight hand exoskeleton force feedback device of the present invention conforms to the multi-axis rotation characteristics of the human index finger bone rotation when performing force feedback on the human index finger. The gasket 3 is located between the second linkage link 6 and the sliding bearing 26 to prevent the second linkage link 6 and the sliding bearing 26 from skewing during rotation.
[0047] As Figure 6 shown, a rotating bearing hole is provided at the first end of the second rotating link 7. The rotating bearing 24 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. A rotating bearing hole is provided at the second end of the second rotating link 7. The rotating bearing 22 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. A rotating bearing hole is provided at the central position of the second rotating link 7. The rotating bearing 23 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. The central position of the second rotating link 7 is rotationally connected to the second linkage link 6 through the rotating bearing 21 and the rotating bearing 23, and the second rotating link 7 is located on the left side of the second linkage link 6.
[0048] Further, the first end of the second rotating link 7 is rotationally connected to the second end of the first rotating link 5 through the rotating bearing 18 and the rotating bearing 24, as Figure 1 shown, and the second rotating link 7 is located on the right side of the first rotating link 5.
[0049] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , a rotating bearing hole is provided at the top of the finger sleeve 8. The rotating bearing 25 is placed in the rotating bearing hole. The top of the finger sleeve 8 is rotationally connected to the second end of the second rotating link 7 through the rotating bearing 25 and the rotating bearing 22, and the second rotating link 7 is located on the left side of the finger sleeve 8. The side of the finger sleeve 8 close to the index finger is designed in an arc shape, as Figure 7 shown, which conforms to the curvature of the back of the human index finger, thereby avoiding possible injuries to the human hand when the present invention is worn and improving the comfort of the wearer. The side of the finger sleeve 8 close to the index finger is fixedly connected to the pressure sensor fixing member 9 and the index finger fingertip through a strap. The finger sleeve 8 is fixed above the index finger of the human hand through a strap, and the pressure sensor fixing member 9 is fixed below the index finger of the human hand through a strap, as Figure 1 shown.
[0050] Among them, the strap in the present invention is a Velcro, which is used to fix the drive fixed rotating shaft member 12 and the drive power fixing member 13 above the user's palm and back, and to fix the finger sleeve 8 and the pressure sensor fixing member 9 at the fingertip of the index finger, as Figure 1 shown.
[0051] It should be noted that the side of the pressure sensor fixing member 9 close to the index finger is designed in an arc shape, as Figure 1 shown, which conforms to the arc of the pulp of the index finger of the human hand. The pressure sensor 27 is located between the pressure sensor fixing member 9 and the pulp of the index finger of the human hand, and is fixed on the side of the pressure sensor fixing member 9 close to the index finger of the human hand.
[0052] The lightweight hand exoskeleton force feedback device of the embodiment of the present invention realizes the force feedback movement process of the index finger: the driver 2 pulls the driver pull rod 1 in the direction of the wrist, so that the driver pull rod 1 drives the first rotating link 5 to couple the first linkage link 10 and the second linkage link 6 via the second rotating link 7, thereby driving the finger sleeve 8 to move from the pulp of the index finger towards the back of the index finger, realizing the force feedback action on the index finger.
[0053] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 8 shown, the force feedback closed-loop control module of the present invention includes a pressure sensor 27, a lightweight hand exoskeleton force feedback device, a controller, a computer-side virtual environment, and a binocular camera. Among them, the computer-side virtual environment communicates with the controller through UART. The sensor group 27 is arranged under the pulp of the index finger and transmits the measured actual force feedback value F r to the controller; the computer-side virtual environment can send control instructions to the controller, and at the same time the controller can send the obtained sensor information to the computer-side virtual environment; the binocular camera sends the detected human hand posture information to the computer-side virtual environment as a basis for judging whether the device performs a force feedback action.
[0054] Furthermore, when the computer-side virtual environment calculates the expected force feedback value F c required when judging that the simulated hand in the virtual environment grasps a virtual object according to the human hand posture information, and transmits the instruction to the controller through UART, so that the controller sets the expected force feedback value F c in the current control cycle. At the same time, the pressure sensor 27 in the pressure sensor fixing member collects an actual force feedback value F r once in the current control cycle, compares the expected force feedback value F c with the actual force feedback value F r , and according to the expected force feedback value F c and the actual force feedback value F rThe difference calculation obtains the increment Δd of the force feedback value of the DC wireless servo motor and superimposes it on the force feedback value of the DC wireless servo motor in the previous control cycle, and outputs it as the increment of the force feedback value of the DC wireless servo motor in the current control cycle, so as to realize the force feedback closed-loop control module.
[0055] Further, if the expected force feedback value F c is greater than the actual force feedback value F r , then the increment Δd of the force feedback value of the DC wireless servo motor is positive. If the expected force feedback value F c is smaller than the actual force feedback value F r , then the increment Δd of the force feedback value of the DC wireless servo motor is negative.
[0056] It should be noted that the above content only illustrates the technical idea of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements all fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
