Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation robots, in particular to a safe upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robot. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing incidence of diseases such as stroke caused by cerebrovascular diseases or nervous system diseases, the number of patients suffering from limb motor dysfunction is increasing day by day, leading to a rapid increase in the demand for rehabilitation training.

[0003] For patients with limb injury, the traditional rehabilitation training method is for a rehabilitation physician to perform rehabilitation exercise training on the patient's affected limb. However, this type of rehabilitation method also has disadvantages: the resources of professional rehabilitation physicians are scarce, which cannot meet the rehabilitation needs, the rehabilitation efficiency is low, and it cannot be standardized; the rehabilitation effect is directly affected by the technical level of the physician, lacks scientific evaluation, and the feedback is lagging. The rehabilitation exoskeleton robot can replace the rehabilitation physician to perform rehabilitation training on the patient, and is an important medical device for assisting patients in recovering the damaged motor nerves.

[0004] Since the mechanical safety limit will affect the left-right arm exchange function, only single-arm rehabilitation training equipment with mechanical limit is relatively easy to realize, but the rehabilitation equipment with left-right arm exchange function is relatively difficult to meet both functions when adjusting the left and right arms, because each joint needs to move in a large range of angles, which may cause motion interference. The existing upper limb joint rehabilitation equipment on the market does not concentrate the left-right arm exchange function and mechanical safety limit on one device. One type of existing equipment can exchange left and right arms, but only relies on motor control to ensure the safety of the movement angle. If the program is wrong, it will cause secondary damage to the human joints by the equipment. Another type of equipment is equipped with mechanical limit structure, but cannot exchange left and right arms. Single device can only perform single arm training, which reduces the utilization rate and applicability of the equipment. Another type of equipment can exchange left and right arms and is also equipped with safety limit, but only has single limit (only maximum limit or minimum limit) position limit for each joint of the double arms. The safety guarantee is not comprehensive, and the structure is complex, the operation process is cumbersome and the selling price is high.

[0005] In addition, the existing device also has problems of redundant and complex structure design, and high cost. The existing device realizes the action rehabilitation training through the cooperation of the arc-shaped guide rail, the sliding block and the belt wheel. Firstly, the arc-shaped sliding rail sliding block has high precision requirement and complex structure, and most of the core parts of the structure depend on import, so the spare parts cycle is long and the time is uncontrollable, and the price is expensive, which greatly increases the production cost and production cycle. Secondly, the belt will be aged and deformed after being used for a long time, so that the transmission fails due to insufficient tension, which affects the function realization. Finally, the overall structure is complex and large, which increases the weight of the whole machine and the manufacturing, production and installation cost. The above reasons directly lead to the increase of the treatment cost of the patient, and limit the wide popularization of the related equipment in the hospital. SUMMARY

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a safe upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robot, which can adjust the limit by using a spring positioning pin, and can realize the left and right exchange function of the mechanical arm while ensuring the limit angle mechanical safety of the double arms, thereby improving the safety of the device.

[0066] Furthermore, the shoulder joint horizontal adduction and abduction module 2 is provided with a limiting structure for restricting the horizontal adduction and abduction range of the shoulder joint, including a spring positioning pin 231, a spring positioning pin 232, and a stop block 24 provided on the shoulder joint link 11, and a stop block 25 provided on the shoulder joint link 21.

[0067] The retractable spring positioning pin 1 231 and spring positioning pin 232 enable the switching of the robotic arm's left and right states by rotating the shoulder joint linkage 21 180°.

[0068] The spring positioning pin 231 and the stop block 24 work together to limit the upper and lower limit safe positions of the shoulder joint in the left arm state by limiting the rotation range of the stop block 25.

[0069] The spring positioning pin 232 and the stop block 24 work together to limit the upper and lower limit safe positions of the shoulder joint in the right arm state by limiting the rotation range of the stop block 25.

[0070] Furthermore, the shoulder joint flexion and extension module 3 is equipped with a left arm limiting component and a right arm limiting component.

[0071] The left arm limiting assembly includes a spring positioning pin 331 on the shoulder joint connecting rod 21 and two inner ring blocks 341 on the upper arm connecting rod 31.

[0073] Furthermore, the shoulder joint vertical retraction module 1 is provided with a limiting structure to restrict the vertical adduction and abduction range of the shoulder joint, including a stop block 3 14 on the shoulder joint connecting rod 11 and two fixed stop pins 13 on the movable fixed frame 9. The stop block 3 14 and the two fixed stop pins 13 cooperate to limit the upper and lower limit safe positions of the vertical adduction and abduction of the robotic arm shoulder joint.

The stop block 54 and the two fixed stop pins 55 cooperate to limit the upper and lower limit safe positions of the mechanical arm wrist joint flexion and extension.

[0076] Furthermore, the forearm rotation module 6 also includes a multi-link crank 631 mechanism located between the handle 61 and the sixth motor 62. The multi-link crank 631 mechanism includes a crank 631 connected to the output shaft of the sixth motor 62, a rocker arm 633 connected to the handle 61, and a connecting rod 632 connecting the crank 631 and the rocker arm 633.

[0078] Crank 631, rocker arm 1 633 and rocker arm 2 635 are arranged in parallel, and connecting rod 1 632 and connecting rod 2 634 are arranged in parallel.

[0079] Furthermore, the forearm rotation module 6 is provided with a limiting structure to restrict the rotation range of the forearm, including two fixed stop pins 64 on the palm connecting rod 52. The two fixed stop pins 64 are respectively located on both sides of the rocker arm 635.

[0080] Furthermore, length adjustment mechanisms are provided between the upper arm connecting rod 31 and the upper arm adjusting rod 41, and between the forearm connecting rod 42 and the forearm adjusting rod 51, for adjusting the length according to the length of the patient's upper arm and forearm to meet the needs of patients with different arm lengths.

[0081] Furthermore, each motor output is equipped with a torque sensor, which can detect the torque at the joint output, thereby further increasing the safety of the equipment.

[0082] Furthermore, the movable mounting frame 9 includes a control box 91, a lifting column 92 mounted on the control box 91, and a crossbeam 95 mounted on the top of the lifting column 92. The control box 91 is equipped with pulleys for easy movement and a handle for pushing. One end of the crossbeam 95 is connected to the top of the lifting column 92, and the other end is connected to the shoulder joint vertical extension and retraction module 1 for fixing the robotic arm. The lifting column 92 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the robotic arm.

[0083] In specific implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the human shoulder joint has three active degrees of freedom: Y1, Z1, and X1. Y1 enables vertical adduction and abduction, Z1 enables horizontal adduction and abduction, and X1 enables flexion and extension. The human elbow joint has one degree of freedom (X2), enabling flexion and extension. The human wrist joint has one degree of freedom (X3), enabling flexion and extension. The human forearm has one degree of freedom (Z2), enabling rotation. This invention is based on human anatomy and ergonomics, designing the corresponding joints. By analyzing the physiological structure of the upper limb, the number of degrees of freedom, the mechanism layout, and the range of motion of each joint in the upper limb rehabilitation robot are determined, thereby achieving dynamic adaptability of the robot and improving rehabilitation outcomes.

[0084] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this invention, the shoulder joint vertical extension / retraction module 1 of the robotic arm is used to realize the movement of the shoulder joint in the Y1 degree of freedom direction; the shoulder joint horizontal extension / retraction module 2 is used to realize the movement of the shoulder joint in the Z1 degree of freedom direction; the shoulder joint flexion / extension module 3 is used to realize the movement of the shoulder joint in the X1 degree of freedom direction; the elbow joint flexion / extension module 4 is used to realize the movement of the elbow joint in the X2 degree of freedom direction; the wrist joint flexion / extension module 5 is used to realize the movement of the wrist joint in the X3 degree of freedom direction; and the forearm rotation module 6 is used to realize the movement of the forearm in the Z2 degree of freedom direction. The robotic arm also has two length-adjustable degrees of freedom, L1 and L2, at the upper and lower arms, used for adaptive adjustment according to the patient's actual arm length to match different patients. In summary, the robotic arm in this invention has a total of 8 degrees of freedom. Based on the kinematic model, a positive kinematic equation is established, and the motion trajectory within the end-effector space of each joint is calculated, further verifying the workspace of the end-effectors of the rehabilitation robot robotic arm in different dimensions of this invention.

[0085] The structure of the movable mounting bracket 9 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the lifting column 92 and control components are all installed inside the control box 91.
