[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-9This invention provides a lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton device, comprising: a base plate 1, and a seat assembly, a first rehabilitation mechanism, and a second rehabilitation mechanism sequentially arranged on the base plate 1. The seat assembly is used for trunk support, the first rehabilitation mechanism is used for knee joint rehabilitation training, and the second rehabilitation mechanism is used to drive ankle pump movements to promote ankle joint rehabilitation. The second rehabilitation mechanism includes two sets of second electric telescopic rods 14, and second mounting blocks 38 fixed to the telescopic ends of each second electric telescopic rod 14. It also includes mounting plates 15 fixed to the opposite faces of the two sets of second mounting blocks 38, and rotatable lifting members 17 are provided on the opposite faces of the two mounting plates 15 for placing the patient's foot. A transmission assembly is provided on the side wall of each mounting plate 15, and the two sets of transmission assemblies are used to control the operating amplitude and frequency of the lifting members 17 to adapt to the different range of motion requirements of the patient's ankle joint rehabilitation process.
[0032] In this embodiment, lower limb rehabilitation training in a seated position can be achieved through the seat assembly, the first rehabilitation mechanism, and the second rehabilitation mechanism sequentially arranged on the base plate 1. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 1-4 As shown, the seat assembly is used for trunk support, the first rehabilitation mechanism is used for knee joint rehabilitation training, and the second rehabilitation mechanism is used for ankle joint rehabilitation training. In rehabilitation training for lower limb injuries, such as after knee joint injury surgery or ankle edema, when ankle pump exercises are required, the second rehabilitation mechanism can drive the patient's foot to perform passive or active ankle pump exercises to promote the patient's rehabilitation process. Due to the structural characteristics of the second rehabilitation mechanism, the frequency and amplitude of the lifting component 17 can be adjusted to adapt to different requirements of ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion range of motion training, improving the practicality of the device. In addition, due to the function of the second electric telescopic rod 14, the height of the lifting component 17 can be further adjusted. When the patient has undergone ankle joint surgery but cannot perform ankle pump exercises and needs to reduce edema, the structure can adjust the patient's lower limb to be higher than the heart according to the patient's suitability to achieve the effect of reducing lower limb edema. When the patient can perform ankle pump exercises, the patient's lower limb is raised higher than the heart to cooperate with the operation of the ankle pump and further improve the effect of reducing lower limb edema.
[0033] This design, through the set seat components, first rehabilitation mechanism, and second rehabilitation mechanism, can realize active or passive range of motion rehabilitation training of the lower limbs in a seated position. Furthermore, through the structural characteristics of the second rehabilitation mechanism, the frequency, amplitude, and height of the lifting component 17 can be adjusted to adapt to the different requirements of ankle joint rehabilitation training in the patient's rehabilitation process. It can also meet the patient's need for edema reduction in both static and active states of the ankle joint, thereby further improving the rehabilitation effect.
[0034] Furthermore, each transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft disposed on the side wall of the mounting plate 15, and a mounting disc 28 fixed on the rotating shaft; it also includes a first lever 29 and a second lever 39 disposed on the rotating shaft, and the ends of the first lever 29 and the second lever 39 away from the rotating shaft are fixed with levers 31, and the two levers 31 can alternately enter two long slots 22 opened inside the lifting member 17, and the two long slots 22 are symmetrically distributed vertically. When the mounting disc 28 rotates, the two levers 31 alternately enter the corresponding long slots 22, so that the lifting member 17 pitches, thereby driving the ankle joint to perform ankle pump operation; and a limiting post structure disposed on the mounting disc 28 to control the pitch frequency of the lifting member 17; and a transmission rod structure disposed between the mounting plate 15 and the mounting disc 28 to control the pitch frequency of the lifting member 17.
[0035] like Figure 5 , 6 7. Because the mounting plate 28, the first lever 29, and the second lever 39 are sequentially arranged on the rotating shaft, and the mounting plate 28 is fixed to the rotating shaft, while the lever posts 31 fixed at the ends of the first lever 29 and the second lever 39 can stagger into the two long slots 22 opened inside the lifting member 17, and the two long slots 22 are symmetrically distributed vertically, combined with... Figure 6 As shown, when the shaft rotates, it drives the mounting plate 28 to rotate. The first lever 29 and the second lever 39 can rotate with the mounting plate 28 through the limiting post structure set on the mounting plate 28, so that the two levers 31 enter the two long slots 22 in an alternating manner, thereby driving the lifting member 17 to pitch and roll, thereby realizing the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the patient's ankle joint, i.e., ankle pump movement. In addition, while the limiting post structure limits the first lever 29 and the second lever 39, it can also adjust their positions to further realize the frequency at which the two levers 31 enter the two long slots 22 in an alternating manner, thereby adjusting the pitch and roll frequency of the lifting member 17.
[0036] The transmission rod structure between the mounting plate 15 and the mounting disc 28 adjusts the pitch of the lifting member 17 by adjusting the rotation amplitude of the mounting disc 28.
[0037] Furthermore, the limiting post structure includes two limiting grooves 32 formed on the mounting plate 28, and the two limiting grooves 32 are symmetrically distributed vertically; it also includes limiting post bodies 30 distributed and fixed in the middle of the first lever 29 and the second lever 39, and the two limiting post bodies 30 can be limited and slid within the corresponding limiting grooves 32.
[0038] Here, since the two elongated slots 22 and the two limiting slots 32 are symmetrically distributed vertically, and the limiting post bodies 30 partially provided in the first lever 29 and the second lever 39 can slide within the limiting slots 32, and the lever posts 31 fixed at their ends can slide within the corresponding elongated slots 22, when the mounting plate 28 rotates, the frequency at which the two limiting slots 32 enter the elongated slots 22 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the limiting post bodies 30 within the limiting slots 32. Specifically, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, from left to right, the closer the limiting post body 30 is to the right side of the limiting groove 32, the longer it takes for the push post 31 to enter the long groove 22, and the lower the frequency of the lifting member 17 swinging per unit time. Similarly, the higher the frequency of the lifting member 17 swinging.
[0039] Furthermore, the transmission rod structure includes a transmission bar 27 fixed to the side wall of the mounting plate 28, and a transmission groove 26 opened at the end of the transmission bar 27 away from the mounting plate 28. A slidable transmission shaft 40 is provided inside the transmission groove 26, and bolts 25 are provided at both ends of the transmission shaft 40 for locking the transmission shaft 40 and the transmission bar 27. It also includes a mounting shaft 41 rotatably connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 15. A first transmission rod 23 is fixed on the mounting shaft 41, and a second transmission rod 24 is rotatably connected to the first transmission rod 23 through a first pin at the end of the first transmission rod 23. The end of the second transmission rod 24 away from the first transmission rod 23 is rotatably connected to one of the bolts 25. When the second transmission rod 24 rotates, it is used to drive the transmission bar 27 to deflect. It also includes a first drive motor 34 provided on the side wall of the mounting plate 15, and the output end of the first drive motor 34 can pass through a through hole opened on the mounting plate 15 and be fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 41.
[0040] Since the drive shaft 40 can move inside the drive groove 26, and the bolts 25 at both ends of the drive shaft 40 can fix the drive shaft 40 to a certain position in the drive groove 26, and the first drive rod 23 is connected to one of the bolts 25 through the second drive rod 24, that is, the two ends of the second drive rod 24 are rotatably connected to the first drive rod 23 and one of the bolts 25 respectively, when the mounting shaft 41 drives the first drive rod 23 to rotate, since the mounting shaft 41 is located to the side and below the rotating shaft, the second drive rod 24 can be driven to deflect through the positioning effect of the mounting shaft 41 and the rotating shaft, thereby driving the mounting plate 28 to deflect back and forth, so as to realize the pitch adjustment of the lifting member 17. In addition, by adjusting the position of the drive shaft 40 inside the drive groove 26, the pitch amplitude of the lifting member 17 can be further adjusted, such as... Figure 7 As shown, from left to right, the closer the bolt 25 is to the right side of the transmission groove 26, the greater the pitch of the lifting component 17. Similarly, the smaller the pitch, the greater the pitch. During this process, the first drive motor 34 works, which is the passive training mode.
[0041] When the first drive motor 34 is not working, the lifting component 17 rotates freely, which is the active training mode.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] In another embodiment of the present invention, two third electric telescopic rods 18 are fixed on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and the two third electric telescopic rods 18 are placed on both sides of the second rehabilitation mechanism; it also includes a handrail 19 fixed to the output end of the two third electric telescopic rods 18, which facilitates the patient to perform ankle pump exercises in an upright position.
[0044] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, through the third electric telescopic rods 18 on both sides of the second rehabilitation mechanism, and the handrails 19 fixed to the telescopic ends of the third electric telescopic rods 18, when the patient can stand upright in the later stage of rehabilitation, the patient can hold the handrails 19 and stand on the lifting component 17. At this time, the pitching frequency and amplitude of the lifting component 17 can be controlled to achieve ankle joint range of motion training in the upright position.
[0045] Example 3
[0046] In another embodiment of the present invention, the first rehabilitation mechanism includes two sets of first electric telescopic rods 9, which are distributed left and right, and a first mounting block 4 fixed to the telescopic end of each first electric telescopic rod 9. It also includes a support rod assembly disposed on each set of first mounting blocks 4. The opposing surfaces of the two sets of support rod assemblies are rotatably connected to a plurality of support rollers 7, and the two sets of support engagement assemblies are used to drive the plurality of support rollers 7 to deflect back and forth. The plurality of support rollers 7 are used to support the patient's legs and can also drive the rehabilitation training of the patient's knee range of motion.
[0047] In this embodiment, the first rehabilitation mechanism comprises two sets of first electric telescopic rods 9, and a support rod assembly fixedly connected to each set of first electric telescopic rods 9 via a first mounting block 4 fixed to the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 9. It also includes several support rollers 7 disposed on opposite sides of the two support rod assemblies, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the two sets of support rod structures can drive several support rollers 7 to deflect back and forth. Therefore, when the support rollers 7 deflect back and forth, while supporting the patient's legs, they can also drive the rehabilitation training of the patient's knee range of motion, thereby promoting the rehabilitation process of the patient's lower limbs. When the first rehabilitation mechanism is fixed in position, that is, when the first rehabilitation mechanism stops running, the second rehabilitation mechanism can simultaneously drive the movement of the knee joint, that is, knee flexion and knee extension, to achieve the range of motion training of the lower limb knee joint.
[0048] Furthermore, each set of support meshing components includes a second connecting shaft 20 and a first connecting shaft 21 rotatably connected to each set of first mounting blocks 4, and a first connecting rod 5 and a transmission plate 10 fixed to the first connecting shaft 21 and the second connecting shaft 20, respectively. It also includes a mounting rod 6 rotatably connected to the outer end of the first connecting rod 5, and the opposite surfaces of the mounting rod 6 where the two sets of support meshing components are located are provided by the plurality of support rollers 7; teeth fixed on the arc-shaped contour of the transmission plate 10, and the teeth meshing with the rack 35 fixed at the lower part of the mounting rod 6; a second connecting rod 11 rotatably connected to the transmission plate 10 through a second pin fixed on the transmission plate 10, and a limiting block 13 fixed at the top of the second connecting rod 11 can slide on the upper part of the mounting rod 6 and limit the mounting rod 6; and a second drive motor 43 provided on the side wall of the first mounting block 4 near the second connecting shaft 20, and the output end of the second drive motor 43 is fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft 20.
[0049] At this location, the opposite surfaces of the mounting rod 6 where the two sets of support meshing assemblies of the several support rollers 7 are located are, for example... Figure 1 As shown, one end of the mounting rod 6 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 5 and the first connecting shaft 21, while the rack 35 fixed at the lower part of its other end meshes with the teeth on the arc-shaped contour of the transmission plate 10, as shown. Figure 8 As shown, the transmission plate 10 is fixed on the second connecting shaft 20 and the second connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected through the side wall of the transmission plate 10. The limiting block 13 at the top of the second connecting rod 11 limits the mounting rod 6. When the first connecting shaft 21 rotates with the power provided by the second drive motor 43, the mounting rod 6 can be deflected. Due to the limitation of the limiting block 13, the mounting rod 6 drives the transmission plate 10 to deflect back and forth. At the same time, the second connecting rod 11 moves with the transmission plate 10, and drives the limiting block 13 to move on the upper surface of the mounting rod 6.
[0050] Specific examples Figure 8 , 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the running trajectory of the first connecting rod 5 is divided into two semicircles, upper and lower. When the second drive motor 43 runs counterclockwise, and the running trajectory is an inverted U, it drives the mounting rod 6 to move downwards and to the left. Figure 9 For reference, the rack 35 at the lower part of the mounting rod 6 meshes with the teeth on the transmission plate 10, thereby driving the transmission plate 10 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the lower end of the second connecting rod 11 faces to the right. Since the limiting block 13 can move on the mounting rod 6 and the length of the limiting block 13 is limited, the limiting block 13 slides to the right relative to the mounting rod 6.
[0051] Similarly, when the second drive motor 43 continues to rotate counterclockwise and the operation is estimated to be U-shaped, the mounting rod 6 will deflect upwards and to the right. As the second drive motor 43 runs, the mounting rod 6 can deflect back and forth, thereby achieving the deflection of the patient's knee. It is worth noting that at this time, the range of motion of the mounting rod 6 is within the lower leg, that is, between the knee joint and the ankle joint. Therefore, when the mounting rod 6 moves downwards and to the left, that is, when the support roller 7 moves to the knee joint, the lower leg's gravity can be used to achieve knee flexion training. When the mounting rod 6 deflects upwards and to the right, the support roller 7 can push the lower leg to straighten, thereby achieving knee extension rehabilitation training. This design utilizes the patient's own leg weight to perform knee flexion and extension training. The operation is gentle, and the weight-bearing training is performed using the patient's own weight, which makes it highly acceptable to users.
[0052] Example 4
[0053] In another embodiment of the present invention, massage roller assemblies are also provided on the two limiting blocks 13 for further massage of the back of the patient's legs; the massage roller assembly includes a mounting member 8 fixed to the top of the two limiting blocks 13, and a mounting groove opened in the middle of the mounting member 8, wherein a plurality of rotatable massage roller bodies 12 are installed inside the mounting groove; it also includes a plurality of micro motors 36 disposed inside one end of the mounting member 8, and the output shaft of each micro motor 36 extends through the mounting member 8 to the mounting groove and is fixedly connected to the corresponding massage roller body 12, providing power for the rotation of the massage roller body 12.
[0054] Since the mounting component 8 is fixed to the top of the two limiting blocks 13, and the limiting blocks 13 can move in the opposite direction when the mounting rod 6 deflects, when the mounting rod 6 drives the support roller 7 to perform range of motion training on the patient's knee joint, the massage sticks 12 set on the mounting component 8 can reverse the movement of the patient's calf muscles, that is, loosen the easily tense triceps surae muscles. The massage intensity can be adjusted by controlling the operation of the micro motor 36. This design, through the massage sticks 12 set on the mounting component 8, in conjunction with the function of the second rehabilitation mechanism, and with the mounting component 8 moving in the opposite direction to the mounting rod 6, that is, while performing range of motion training on the patient's knee joint, it also loosens the calf muscles, further improving the rehabilitation effect of the patient's knee.
[0055] Furthermore, the seat assembly includes a support seat 2 fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 1, and a backrest 33 inclinedly disposed on the support seat 2 away from the first rehabilitation mechanism; it also includes a seat cushion 3 fixed to the upper surface of the support seat 2 for supporting the patient's buttocks.
[0056] In that place, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the seat cushion 3 is preferably an elastic cushion, which can support the patient's buttocks and improve the patient's comfort in the sitting position.
[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, substitutions, and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
