[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0016] By setting up auxiliary structures and binding mechanisms, the surface of the EMG sensor can be cleaned by the movement of the binding strap during the process of fixing the patient's leg with the binding mechanism. This reduces the impact of surface dirt adhesion on the detection of electromyographic signals, improves detection accuracy, eliminates the need for separate cleaning, and is easy to operate. At the same time, after use, the EMG sensor can be cleaned again during the binding strap reset process under the action of the binding mechanism, which can promptly remove dirt and debris remaining on the surface after use, keep the EMG sensor clean and facilitate storage, and effectively improve the service life of the equipment.
[0017] By setting up a binding mechanism, the position of the binding strap can be quickly adjusted under the action of the binding mechanism, which makes it easy to fix the patient's leg inside the insertion cavity. The operation is simple. At the same time, after use, the binding strap can cover the EMG sensor, avoiding the situation of dust sticking to the outer surface for a long time. The auxiliary structure can transfer the dirt and impurities that are cleaned and stuck to the surface of the binding strap to the surface of the adhesive paper in time during the movement of the binding strap, thereby keeping the surface of the binding strap clean.
[0018] By decoding electromyographic signals, the wearer's movement intentions can be quickly and accurately identified. Through real-time monitoring of muscle activity, the intensity and duration of muscle activity can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the effectiveness of exercise training. By acquiring electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, long-term recording and storage of EEG signals can be achieved, facilitating secondary data development. By acquiring biosignals through inertial measurement units, machine vision, and brain-muscle fusion technology, the wearer's movement intentions can be more realistically reflected, enabling precise control of the lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robot.

[0040] The control module of this system mainly includes an STM32F103ZET6 control chip U1, a CH340USB-to-serial chip U2, an AT24C02 memory chip U3, a LU968520 servo motor driver chip U4, an MPU6050 gyroscope chip U5, an HMC5883 yaw angle correction chip U6, an SSD_1306 OLED display chip U7, an HC-05 Bluetooth chip U8, an LM393 operational amplifier chip U9, a 74HC573 latch chip U10, a startup mode selection interface P1, and a power interface P2. It consists of a serial port conversion interface P3, angle sensor interfaces P4-P9, motor power interface P10, motor ground interface P11, motor PWM interface P12, EEG data communication WIFI interface P13, OPENMV interface P14, SD card interface P15, P18, EMG analog input interface P16, EMG power interface P17, EMG digital input interface P18, JTAG download chip JTAG1, buzzer LS1, crystal oscillator Y1, Y2, reset button S1, power button S2, and function buttons S3-S6, etc. The main control chip STM32F103ZET6 has PA0, PA4, PA6, and PA7 connected to one end of buttons S3-S6 and one end of indicator lights D1-D4, respectively. PA1 is connected to the OUTA pin of U9. PA2 and PA3 are connected to the cathode of D8 and the anode of D7. PA5 is connected to one end of resistors R8 and R11. PA8 is connected to the LE pin of U10. PA9 and PA10 are connected to pins 1 and 3 of P3, respectively. PA13-PA15, PB3, and PB4 are connected to the TMS, TCK, TDI, TDO / SWO, and TRST pins of JTAG1, and one end of resistors R16, R17, R15, R18, and R14, respectively.

[0041] like Figure 1-15 As shown, the winding structure 31 includes a winding rod 311 rotatably connected inside the connecting block 2. Two turntables 312 are fixedly connected to the surface of the winding rod 311. A spring 314 located below the lower turntable 312 is fixedly connected to the surface of the winding rod 311. The other end of the spring 314 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 2. The winding structure 31 also includes a connecting groove formed in the inner wall of the insertion cavity. Two symmetrically distributed limiting strips 315 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the insertion cavity. A guide groove is formed between the limiting strips 315 and the insertion groove. The interior of block 2 is provided with a sliding groove 316. One side of the EMG sensor 201 extends into the interior of the guide groove. The end of the connecting block 2 away from the connecting arm 1 is rotatably connected to a guide rod 317. The surface of the guide rod 317 is provided with a binding strap 313. One end of the binding strap 313 passes through the sliding groove 316 and is wound around the surface of the winding rod 311. The other end of the binding strap 313 passes through the guide groove and is fixedly connected to the surface of the limiting structure 32. The surface of the binding strap 313 is in contact with the surface of the EMG sensor 201. The surface of the binding strap 313 is provided with a through groove.
[0042] Pulling the strap 313 causes it to slide out from the inside of the slide groove 316 and guide groove. The guide rod 317 is used to guide the strap 313 at a turning angle. During this process, the surface of the strap 313 can clean the surface of the EMG sensor 201, reducing the impact of surface dirt and preventing the detection of electromyographic signals from being affected by surface dirt during use, thus improving the performance. At the same time, pulling the strap 313 can drive the winding rod 311 to rotate, which in turn drives the spring 314 to rotate and tighten. This means that after the strap 313 is released, the spring 314 can be used to drive the sensor to rotate. The bandage 313 is wound up and reset. The through groove allows the bandage 313 to enter the guide groove after being pulled out to a certain length, so that the EMG sensor 201 can be located inside the through groove. This allows the EMG sensor 201 to make better contact with the patient's skin and avoids the bandage 313 affecting the detection of electromyographic signals by the EMG sensor 201. During storage, the part of the bandage 313 without the through groove can block the exposed part of the EMG sensor 201, thereby reducing the adhesion of external dust and impurities to the surface of the EMG sensor 201 and providing a good environment for the operation of the EMG sensor 201.
[0043] like Figure 1-15As shown, the limiting structure 32 includes a connecting strip 323 disposed on the surface of the connecting block 2. The cross-sectional area of the connecting strip 323 is larger than the opening area of the guide groove. One side of the connecting strip 323 is fixedly connected to one end of the binding strap 313. An adsorption plate 326 is embedded and installed on one side of the connecting strip 323. The adsorption plate 326 is a magnetic material component. A limiting block 325 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting strip 323. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting block 325 is a right trapezoid. The upper end of the limiting block 325 extends through the connecting strip 323. An adjusting rod 324 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the limiting block 325. The lower end of the adjusting rod 324 is fixedly connected to the connecting strip 323. The inner wall is slidably connected to the lever 328. The end of the lever 328 away from the adsorption plate 326 extends through the connecting strip 323. The surface of the adjusting rod 324 is fitted with a first spring 327. The upper end of the first spring 327 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting strip 323, and the lower end of the first spring 327 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lever 328. The limiting structure 32 also includes a slot 321 opened on the surface of the connecting block 2. The slot 321 matches the connecting strip 323, and the inner top wall of the slot 321 is provided with uniformly distributed limiting grooves 329. The inner wall of the slot 321 is embedded with a connecting plate 322, which is a component made of iron metal material.
[0044] Pulling the connecting strip 323 allows the bandage 313 to be unrolled and wrapped around the patient's leg. Simultaneously, the connecting strip 323 is inserted into the slot 321 and slides along it until the bandage 313 secures the patient's leg. During insertion, the inner wall of the slot 321 presses against the inclined surface of the limiting block 325, causing it to retract into the connecting strip 323. The movement of the limiting block 325 also moves the adjusting rod 324, causing the lever 328 to move downwards, which in turn stretches the first spring 327. When the lever 328 reaches the limiting groove 329, the first spring 327 causes the limiting block 325 to retract. The connecting strip 323 is inserted into the limiting groove 329, thereby preventing the connecting strip 323 from being reset by the spring 314 by the cooperation of the side of the limiting block 325 away from the inclined surface with the inner wall of the limiting groove 329, thus fixing the position of the connecting strip 323. At the same time, during the process of the connecting strip 323 being inserted into the slot 321, the magnetic material component's adsorption plate 326 comes into contact with the ferrous metal component's connecting plate 322 to generate an adsorption force, which strengthens the limiting effect. When it is necessary to release, the limiting block 325 is separated from the limiting groove 329 by pressing down the lever 328, and the connecting strip 323 is pulled in the opposite direction along the slot 321 to separate it, thus releasing the limiting effect on the position of the binding strap 313.
[0045] like Figure 1-15As shown, the auxiliary structure 4 includes a mounting groove 401 located on the top of the connecting block 2 and connected to the guide groove. A base plate 407 is disposed inside the mounting groove 401, and a mounting block 406 is disposed on the top of the base plate 407. Two symmetrically distributed rotating rods 408 are rotatably connected between the mounting block 406 and the base plate 407. The top of the mounting block 406 extends through the mounting groove 401, and a pull rod 410 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting block 406. A snap-fit groove 411 is formed on the surface of the pull rod 410, and adhesive surfaces are formed on the surfaces of the two rotating rods 408. Dust paper 409 extends into the interior of the guide groove. The surface of the dust paper 409 contacts the surface of the binding strap 313. The auxiliary structure 4 also includes a placement groove 402 opened on the top of the connecting block 2. The placement groove 402 matches the pull rod 410. A retaining plate 403 is slidably connected to the top of the connecting block 2. A pull plate 404 is fixedly connected to the side of the retaining plate 403 away from the placement groove 402. A second spring 405 is fixedly connected between the pull plate 404 and the inner wall of the connecting block 2. The other side of the retaining plate 403 extends into the interior of the placement groove 402.
[0046] During the pulling and unwinding of the cable tie 313 and its resetting process, the cable tie 313 can contact the surface of the adhesive paper 409 and clean the surface of the cable tie 313 under the action of the adhesive paper 409, thereby reducing dust and impurities on the surface of the cable tie 313 and maintaining a good cleaning effect on the surface of the EMG sensor 201. During the movement of the cable tie 313, it can drive the adhesive paper 409 to move synchronously, so that the adhesive paper 409 is transmitted along the two rotating rods 408, so that the adhesive paper 409 can clean the surface of the cable tie 313. When disassembly is required, pulling the pull plate 404 separates the clamping plate 403 from the clamping groove 411, thereby engaging the limit of the pull rod 410. During this process, the second spring 405 is compressed, and the pull rod 410 is rotated to be perpendicular to the mounting block 406, so the mounting block 406 can be removed through the pull rod 410, thereby allowing the adhesive paper 409 to be replaced. The staff can disassemble and replace it regularly to maintain a good performance.
[0047] In use, the patient's leg is placed inside the insertion cavity. Pulling the connecting strip 323 allows the binding strap 313 to be unrolled and wrapped around the patient's leg. Simultaneously, the connecting strip 323 is inserted into the slot 321 and slides along it until the binding strap 313 secures the patient's leg. During this process, the position of the connecting strip 323 is limited by the cooperation of the limiting block 325, adjusting rod 324, first spring 327, lever 328, and limiting groove 329. Furthermore, as the connecting strip 323 is inserted into the slot 321, it is attracted by the magnetic material component's adsorption plate 326. The connecting plate 322 of the ferrous metal component generates an adsorption force upon contact, which enhances the limiting effect. When it is necessary to loosen, the limiting block 325 is separated from the limiting groove 329 by pressing down the push plate 328, and the connecting strip 323 is pulled in the opposite direction along the slot 321 to separate it from the limiting effect on the position of the binding strap 313. At the same time, during the pulling and resetting of the binding strap 313, the surface of the binding strap 313 can be cleaned by the auxiliary structure 4, which can maintain a good cleaning effect on the surface of the EMG sensor 201. The staff can disassemble and replace the adhesive paper 409 regularly to maintain a good performance.
[0048] The exoskeleton robot control system is first powered on. Press and hold the power switch; the entire system will initialize, including initializing the display screen, WiFi / Bluetooth function, EEG sensor, EMG sensor 201, angle sensor, FSR, MPU6050, HMC5883, and servo motor initial positions. System initialization is complete when indicator light D2 starts flashing continuously.
[0049] The basic behavior of the lower limb exoskeleton robot can be debugged or run by pressing the button. First, by pressing and holding the S5 button, the system will start working.
[0050] Then, use the S4 function key to switch between speed adjustment mode and posture adjustment mode. When the S4 key is in speed adjustment mode, you can adjust the walking speed in real time by pressing S5 and S6. When the S4 key is in posture adjustment mode, you can switch between walking and squatting postures by pressing S5 and S6.
[0051] When an emergency call is needed, pressing the S3 button will emit a sharp, urgent buzzer sound. After successful debugging, imagine the action you need the lower limb robot to perform. The EEG sensor will identify the required action, while the EMG sensor 201 provides human-machine interaction data to the controller through changes in electromyography, FSR detection of pressure changes at different positions, and angle sensor feedback of angle values. The controller continuously adjusts the rotation position of the servo motors until the lower limb exoskeleton robot successfully executes the required action. When traversing different road surfaces (including asphalt, cement, rubber, and mud), OPENMV will identify the road conditions and select the most suitable movement speed and walking mode for the current road surface. In addition, OPENMV will detect whether there are obstacles in front (including roadblocks, railings, walls, mud pits, people, animals, etc.). When an obstacle is detected, the buzzer will sound three alarms. If the obstacle is not moved away within 5 seconds, the buzzer will continue to sound three alarms until the obstacle is moved away. When an external object collides with the lower limb exoskeleton robot, the buzzer will sound a continuous, sharp alarm until the reset button is pressed and the buzzer will stop sounding.
[0052] It should be noted that the electric actuator 101 mentioned above is a device with relatively mature existing technology. The specific model can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the electric actuator 101 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method should be selected according to the situation, which will not be elaborated here.
[0053] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
