Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rehabilitation devices, in particular to a shoulder rehabilitation auxiliary exoskeleton device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in order to improve the daily life of patients with different degrees of nerve injury and functional movement disorders, people have invented many devices or devices for rehabilitation training. Because the central nervous system has high plasticity, timely rehabilitation training for the above-mentioned patients helps to restore the control and control of the central nervous system to the movement of the limbs, enhance muscle strength, reshape the movement function of the affected limb, and effectively prevent complications such as muscle atrophy and osteoporosis.

[0003] Among the many rehabilitation training devices or devices, shoulder rehabilitation training devices are mainly used for shoulder joint rehabilitation and play a crucial role. The existing shoulder rehabilitation training devices mainly include active shoulder rehabilitation training devices and passive shoulder rehabilitation training.

[0004] The active shoulder rehabilitation training device generally adopts a three-axis vertical orthogonal layout mode driven by a motor and a speed reducer, which not only has a large volume but also has a large weight, which is easy to cause human-machine interference and seriously limit the movement range of shoulder abduction. At the same time, the large weight is easy to cause secondary injury.

[0005] The passive shoulder rehabilitation training generally adopts a pull rope and spring cooperation structure to realize. Although the overall volume is reduced, the problems of human-machine interference and limited movement range are avoided, but due to the existence of the spring, the following problems still exist:

[0006] (1) The spring is usually made of metal, and the weight and volume still need to be further improved. At the same time, it is not convenient to carry and use, especially in the home rehabilitation scene.

[0007] (2) Although the spring has elasticity, its load response characteristic (elasticity coefficient) is relatively fixed, and it is difficult to replace different specifications to flexibly adjust the resistance level.

[0008] (3) The spring has high hardness and rigidity, and is easy to cause accidental injury during use, especially for patients in rehabilitation, which may cause secondary injury.

[0063] The wearable assembly 1 comprises a fixed waistband 11 and a wearable vest 12.

[0064] The two ends of the connecting rod 31 are respectively rotatably connected with the wearable assembly 1 and the first mounting bracket 32 through a ball joint bearing. Through the ball joint bearing, universal adjustment can be achieved, so as to further improve the fitting degree.

[0065] The working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0066] ​First, according to the patient's condition, the adjustment of the passive power output assembly 4 is carried out, which mainly includes but is not limited to selecting the specification of the elastic traction rope 42 (i.e. the specification and / or number of its elastic rope 421), and the rotating radius of the guide wheel 44 (the rotating radius is different, and the torque is different). The position of the guide wheel 44 is adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 482, then driving the sliding block 481 to slide on the guide rod 483, and then locking the adjusting screw 482 by the first locking bolt after adjustment, so as to realize the position locking of the sliding block 481, and then realize the rotating radius adjustment and locking of the guide wheel 44; after adjusting the guide wheel 44, the tension of the elastic traction rope 42 is realized by adjusting the position of the mounting block 412. The adjustment can also be adjusted during actual use after wearing. When adjusting, the door plate 414 can be opened.

[0067] Then the patient wears the wearing assembly 1, and adjusts the extension length of the connecting rod 31 to make the upper limb movement support assembly 3 reach the corresponding position; then the upper arm fixing piece 21 is worn on the upper arm of the patient.

[0068] Then, according to the patient's condition, the pull rod 36 is pressed towards the rotating shaft 39, and the operating handle 362 is pulled to drive the pull rod 36 to rotate around the rotating shaft 39, and then the reset spring 38 is released after rotating to the corresponding position, that is, the pull rod 36 returns to the direction away from the rotating shaft 39, at this time the pin 37 is clamped into the corresponding support adjusting groove 351, at this time the lower rotating position of the rocker arm 22 is adjusted to the position, that is, the position of the pin 37 is the lower rotating position limit of the rocker arm 22.

[0069] At this time, the patient has worn the shoulder rehabilitation auxiliary exoskeleton device of the present application, and during the process of lifting the arm, the elastic traction rope 42 can provide lifting assistance due to energy storage; when the arm is lowered, a certain buffer force can also be provided. At the same time, when the arm is lowered to the position where the rocker arm 22 is blocked by the pin 37, the arm can be supported, which is beneficial to the relaxation of the patient's arm and shoulder joint, and is not easy to cause secondary injury. At the same time, through the different rotating angles of the second rotating disc 45, the output force of the elastic traction rope 42 is sinusoidal distribution, as shown in Figure 10 From Figure 10 It can be seen that when the arm is raised by 90 degrees and lowered by 90 degrees, the output torque is the largest, and the output torque of other angles is smoothly decreased. When the arm is naturally lowered or lifted to the top of the head (180 degrees), the output torque is 0 NM.

[0070] The above-described specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present application, and it should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments are only specific embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
