Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rehabilitation exoskeleton robots, and in particular to a constant-speed multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module, a robot and a control method. Background Art
[0002] Isokinetic training has been proven to be an effective neuromuscular training method that combines the advantages of isotonic and isometric exercises. It is often used for limb rehabilitation training and muscle strength assessment and has been widely used in various cycles of rehabilitation treatment. Isokinetic exercise is a muscle strength training method that maintains a constant speed and variable muscle antagonistic resistance during limb movement. Compared with traditional isometric and isotonic training, it has the advantages of promoting synchronous contraction of muscle fibers and preventing muscle and joint movement injuries. At present, isokinetic muscle strength training devices use different adapters for specific joints during training, set the joint limit movement speed, and the subject actively exerts force to obtain muscle strength parameters such as peak torque, peak torque angle, joint flexion and extension ratio, exercise power, range of motion, etc. The disadvantages of existing isokinetics are: (1) When facing rehabilitation assessment and training scenarios, the joint movement paradigm of the isokinetics is single, and only one joint can be trained at a time. Except for the isokinetic closed-chain mode, it is impossible to achieve a multi-joint movement paradigm and cannot meet the function-oriented coordinated training of multiple joints. The isokinetic closed-chain mode requires the installation of an additional adapter and can only be trained on a linear trajectory. (2) Isokinetic machines are expensive, complicated to operate, and large in size. When training bilateral limb switching, the equipment adjustment is complicated and inconvenient. For most patients, they do not need to use all the joint training functions of the isokinetic machine, which can be regarded as a waste of resources. Therefore, there is a lack of miniaturized and targeted rehabilitation equipment that can be used in homes, hospitals, and other places.
[0003] Lower limb exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device designed to enhance or restore the motor ability of the lower limbs, especially in gait and walking. It is widely used in the fields of medical treatment, rehabilitation, assisting the elderly in activities, and enhancing human strength. It provides force support and movement assistance through robotic devices to help rehabilitation patients recover motor function, improve gait, etc., especially for patients with spinal cord injury, stroke, and stroke, which can significantly improve the quality of life. At the same time, rehabilitation exoskeleton rehabilitation not only reduces the workload of physical therapists and saves rehabilitation costs, but also provides objective data to evaluate the rehabilitation progress of the rehabilitation patients, making it easier for physical therapists to formulate reasonable rehabilitation strategies. Nowadays, exoskeleton robots have begun to gradually achieve higher flexibility and adaptability, and can adapt to different postures and positions. Traditional lower limb exoskeleton devices are generally only effective in a fixed position, while multi-position exoskeletons require smooth transitions between different positions and provide more degrees of freedom and flexibility. The disadvantages of existing rehabilitation exoskeletons are: (1) They are mainly designed for muscle force compensation, play a power role, and drive the patient's lower limb movement. The joint output torque is small, and it is impossible to achieve the training form of isokinetic movement. (2) Multi-joint exoskeletons are mainly serial structures. The actuators near the end will become loads, increasing the rotational inertia of the exoskeleton. Considering its mass, it is impossible to choose actuators with large output torque. (3) It cannot cover the vast majority of the population. Most of the existing exoskeletons are mainly for patients with lower limb dysfunction such as stroke and stroke. They cannot meet the needs of muscle strength training and assessment for normal people.

The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present application, not all possible implementations. Based on the embodiments in the present application, those skilled in the art can completely combine the embodiments of the present application to obtain other embodiments without creative work, and these embodiments are also within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0034] The following describes the isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module, robot and control method of the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. In view of the above-mentioned related art that the isokinetic instrument can only train one joint at a time, cannot achieve the purpose of coordinated training of multiple joints, and the lower limb exoskeleton is aimed at muscle force compensation, and the joint output torque is small and cannot achieve the problem of isokinetic motion, the present application provides an isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module, in which the thigh connection component and the thigh binding of the thigh mechanism and the calf connection component and the calf binding of the calf mechanism are controlled by the driving component, so that the thigh connection component drives the user to perform hip joint training through the thigh binding, and the calf connection component drives the user to perform knee joint training through the calf binding, so that isokinetic muscle strength training of multiple joints (including hip joints and knee joints) can be achieved, accurate isokinetic control is achieved, and the efficiency of sports rehabilitation and the accuracy of muscle strength assessment are improved. Thus, the technical problem that the isokinetic instrument can only train one joint at a time in the related art, cannot achieve the purpose of coordinated training of multiple joints, and the lower limb exoskeleton is aimed at muscle force compensation, and the joint output torque is small and cannot achieve the purpose of isokinetic motion is solved.
[0035] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail with specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

Each joint can achieve isokinetic movement, and can also achieve coordinated training of multiple joints in the sagittal plane of the lower limbs, meeting task-oriented rehabilitation needs.

[0044] It can be understood that the sliding part is adjusted according to the trainer's leg length to align the joint axis with the exoskeleton. Because the fixed part is longer than the sliding part, the binding installed on the fixed part is basically in the middle of the thigh and calf, which can fix the binding position. Binding is to fix the leg and the exoskeleton, and sliding is to adjust the length of the exoskeleton to the same as the leg length; the thigh binding is on the corresponding fixed part, and the calf binding is on the corresponding sliding part.

[0047] It should be noted that the first virtual constraint 2215 and the second virtual constraint 2220 are used to ensure that the distance between the calf drive member 2209 (calf drive rod) and the axis of the second drive shaft is adjusted synchronously when the thigh length is adjusted, thereby improving transmission accuracy and angle accuracy.
[0048] See also Figure 3In the calf mechanism 22, the knee joint motor 2201 is fixedly connected to the right support base 2406 by fasteners, and the corresponding notches of the knee joint motor 2201 and the right support base 2406 are ensured to be concentric during installation. The knee joint sensor 2202 is fixedly connected to the knee joint motor 2201 by fasteners, and the knee joint output gear 2203 is connected to the knee joint torque sensor 2202 by fasteners, and concentricity is ensured during installation. The knee joint transmission gear 2204 is meshed with the knee joint output gear 2203 and is fixedly connected to the knee joint transmission shaft 2205 by fasteners. The outer diameters of both ends of the knee joint transmission shaft 2205 are matched with the inner diameter of the sixth bearing 2206 at the same time, and the bearing 2206 is respectively installed in the corresponding bearing holes of the left support base 2403 and the right support base 2406.

The eighth bearing 2211 is respectively installed in the bearing holes corresponding to the calf drive rod 2209, the right calf transmission fixing rod 2212, and the left calf transmission fixing rod 2214, and the inner ring of the eighth bearing 2211 matches the first drive shaft 2210. The calf adjustment nut 2216 passes through the straight slot holes of the calf left transmission fixing rod 2214 and the calf right transmission fixing rod 2212 and is fixedly connected to the calf transmission sliding rod 2217 by fasteners to ensure that the position is fixed after the length is adjusted. The ninth bearing 2222 is installed in the corresponding bearing holes of the calf transmission sliding rod 2217, the calf left fixing rod 2225, and the calf right fixing rod 2224, and the inner ring is matched with the second drive shaft 2221. The tenth bearing 2223 is installed in the corresponding bearing holes of the calf left fixing rod 2225 and the calf right fixing rod 2224, and is matched with the thigh shaft 2115. The calf adjustment nut 22226 passes through the corresponding through holes of the calf left fixing rod 2225, the calf right fixing rod 2224, the calf left sliding rod 2229, and the calf right sliding rod 2231 and is fixedly connected to the calf adjustment pressing plate 2227 by fasteners to achieve fixation after the calf length is adjusted. The first reinforcement member 2228 and the second reinforcement member 2230 are respectively connected to the left calf sliding rod 2229 and the right calf fixing rod 2231 by fasteners to increase strength. The calf binding fixing block 2232 is respectively connected to the left calf sliding rod 2229 or the right calf sliding rod 2231 by fasteners according to different training legs, and is also connected to the calf binding member 2233.During training, the calf binding 2233 fits tightly against the trainer's calf.
[0049] Since the knee joint is driven by gears and connecting rods, when the thigh length is adjusted, the distance between the calf drive rod 2209 and the axis of the second drive shaft 2221 must also be adjusted synchronously, so as to ensure that the angle output by the knee joint motor 2201 can be accurately transmitted to the knee joint part of the exoskeleton. Manual adjustment will have errors, resulting in inconsistency between the thigh length and the distance between the calf drive rod 2209 and the axis of the second drive shaft 2221. Therefore, this application solves this problem by adding virtual constraints. Figure 3 As shown, the eleventh bearing 2218 is installed in the bearing holes corresponding to the calf left transmission fixing rod 2214, the calf right transmission fixing rod 2212, and the calf transmission sliding rod 2217, and the virtual constraint shaft 2213 passes through the upper end of the first virtual constraint link 2215 and the calf right transmission fixing rod 2212. The lower end of the first virtual constraint link 2215 cooperates with the bearing 2109. The upper end of the second virtual constraint link 2220 cooperates with the eleventh bearing 2218, and the lower end cooperates with the bearing 2111. The virtual constraint connector 2219 is fixedly connected to the second virtual constraint link 2220 by a fastener.
[0050] like Figure 4 As shown in (a), it further clearly shows that the present application uses virtual constraints to form a parallelogram. Here, the left thigh fixing rod 2108 and the right thigh fixing rod 2122 are regarded as CD, the left thigh sliding rod 2111 and the right thigh fixing rod 2122 are regarded as GH, the calf driving rod 2209 is regarded as AC, the right leg transmission fixing rod 2212 and the left calf transmission fixing rod 2214 are regarded as AB, the calf transmission sliding rod 2217 is regarded as EF, the left calf fixing rod 2225 and the right calf fixing rod 2224 are regarded as FHI, the first virtual constraint link 2215 is regarded as M1M2, and the second virtual constraint link 2220 is regarded as N1N2. The thigh CD and GH need to be adjusted in length according to the subject. Since the calf FHI is transmitted through AB and EF, it is necessary to ensure that AF and CH are always equal. Manual adjustment is not precise enough and will appear Figure 4 In the case of (b), the output angle of the knee joint motor is inconsistent with the rotation of the lower leg. Figure 4 In (c), two virtual constraint links M1M2 and N1N2 are added to form two parallelograms, AB and CD are always parallel, and EF and GH are always parallel. Figure 4 In the case of (d), the thigh sliding limit groove 2116 and the calf transmission sliding rod 2217 are regarded as EF, and the corresponding bosses and grooves on the left side fixing rod 2225 and the right side fixing rod 2224 of the calf ensure that the center lines of AB and CD, EF and GH are always in the same line. Figure 4Of the two situations (e) in Figure 4 and (f) in Figure 4, the second one is easy to exclude, thereby making the output angle of the knee joint motor inconsistent with the rotation of the calf.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, the ankle mechanism 23 also includes an ankle motor 2301 and an ankle sensor 2303, the ankle motor 2301 is fixedly connected to the calf sliding member, the ankle sensor 2303 is connected to the ankle motor 2301, the adjustment member is connected to the ankle sensor 2303, the ankle motor 2301 controls the rotation of the pedal 2308 through the adjustment member, so that the user performs ankle training, and the ankle sensor performs ankle torque measurement.
[0053] It should be noted that the ankle mechanism 23 includes an ankle joint motor, an ankle joint sensor and a pedal 2308, which are used to drive the ankle mechanism 23 to achieve isokinetic training of the ankle joint. The height and front and rear position of the pedal 2308 are adjustable to meet the needs of different subjects.
[0054] See also Figure 5 In the ankle mechanism 23, the ankle motor 2301 is fixedly connected to the right side sliding rod 2231 of the calf through a fastener, the adapter 2302 is fixedly connected to the ankle motor 2301 through a fastener, and the ankle sensor 2303 is fixedly connected to the adapter 2302 through a fastener.

The fourth adjustment nut 2307 is fixedly connected to the pedal 2308 through the straight slot hole of the pedal front and rear adjustment 2306 to ensure that the position is fixed after adjustment.
[0055] It can be understood that the thigh mechanism 21, the hip joint motor 2101 and the hip joint torque sensor 2102 provide drive and torque measurement of the hip joint; the hip joint transmission system (including gears and transmission shafts) realizes the rotational movement of the hip joint; the thigh length adjustment system (including sliding rods and adjustment nuts) allows adjustment according to the subject's leg length; and the thigh binding 2119 is used to fix the thigh mechanism to the subject's thigh.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, the present application also provides a constant speed multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton robot, such as Figure 6 As shown, the isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton robot includes an isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module and a seat module as described in any one of the above-mentioned schemes, the skeleton base of the isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module is fixedly connected to the seat module, the seat module is used to be occupied by a user, and the exoskeleton module is used to be worn by a user.
[0057] It is worth noting that the present application aims at the problems of existing isokinetic dynamometers and lower limb exoskeletons. The mirrorable lower limb three-degree-of-freedom isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton robot of the present application has the following advantages: Compared with traditional isokinetic dynamometer equipment, it solves the problem of single rehabilitation paradigm. The present application can realize isokinetic muscle strength training of single or multiple joints, achieve precise isokinetic control, and improve the efficiency of sports rehabilitation and the accuracy of muscle strength assessment; traditional isokinetic machines need to readjust the seat angle and power head angle for different lower limbs on both sides, and the operation is cumbersome. The present application adopts a modular design, and the main structure of the exoskeleton module is mirrored, which can quickly adjust the position, facilitate bilateral training, and can also install the exoskeleton modules on both sides at the same time according to needs; compared with traditional lower limb exoskeletons, the present application adopts a series-parallel structure, and the knee joint and hip joint adopt a parallel structure. The hip joint and knee joint motors are fixed to the base, and the knee joint transmits torque through the transmission rod. Avoid placing it at the joint, which will cause the overall rotational inertia to increase, the control difficulty to increase, and the overall performance to decrease; the large torque actuator can meet the training needs of most people; this application can achieve seamless switching between sitting and lying positions, and realize multi-position rehabilitation training.
[0058] Specifically, Figure 6As shown, the seat module 1 and the lower limb exoskeleton module 2. The seat module 1 and the lower limb exoskeleton module 2 are connected by fasteners, and can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The seat module 1 includes an adjustable seat 11 and a seat base 12 that can adjust the front and rear position, height and backrest angle. The seat base 12 profiles are connected by fasteners, and the adjustable seat 11 and the seat base 12 are connected by fasteners. The lower limb exoskeleton module 2 includes a thigh mechanism 21, a calf mechanism 22, an ankle mechanism 23 and an exoskeleton base 24, and each part is connected by fasteners.
[0059] See also Figure 7 When in use, the lower limb exoskeleton module 2 is moved to the corresponding position of the seat module 1 according to the trained lower limbs, and is fixedly connected by fasteners. Figure 7 The ankle mechanism shown in (b) and (b) can be removed as a whole and changed in direction. The subject's hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint are aligned with the exoskeleton respectively, and the corresponding lengths of the thigh and calf are adjusted. The positions of the thigh bindings 2119 and 2233 are adjusted, and the bindings are fixed to the subject's thigh and calf, and the feet are fixed to the pedals. Figure 7 When performing single joint isokinetic or rehabilitation training as shown in (c), (d), and (e), when performing ankle joint training, the hip joint motor 2101 and the knee joint motor 2201 are disabled; when performing knee joint training, the hip joint motor 2101 and the ankle joint motor 2301 are disabled; when performing hip joint training, the knee joint motor 2201 and the ankle joint motor 2301 are disabled. When performing multi-joint isokinetic training or rehabilitation training, all motors are enabled. The present invention can also train both lower limbs at the same time, such as Figure 7 As shown in (f), two lower limb exoskeleton modules 2 are installed on the left and right sides.
[0060] It should be noted that traditional isokinetic operation is complicated, and different adapters need to be installed for the hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint, and the corresponding power head angle, seat angle, position, etc. need to be manually adjusted. This application adopts the form of an exoskeleton. After adjusting the length of the exoskeleton thigh and calf and fixing it, the corresponding joint motor can be used according to the training joint disability without additional adjustment.
[0061] The application adopts a modular design, and the main structure of the exoskeleton module is mirror-symmetrical, so you can choose unilateral lower limb training or bilateral lower limb training according to your needs. During unilateral training, the traditional isokinetic instrument needs to readjust the power head angle, seat angle, position, etc. when changing the left or right lower limb. This application can directly move the exoskeleton module to the opposite side for quick adjustment. Since the main structure is mirror-symmetrical, you only need to adjust the binding position and the ankle joint.
[0062] This application realizes multi-position training through seamless conversion between sitting and lying positions, which not only provides more training options, but also greatly improves the flexibility and applicability of rehabilitation training, meets the training needs of different task orientations, and helps patients achieve their rehabilitation goals through personalized joint training.
[0063] Traditional isokinetics are huge in size, while traditional exoskeletons are mainly of series structure. In order to meet the needs of isokinetic training, this application adopts a series-parallel structure. The hip and knee joint actuators are installed on the base through a parallel structure design, and the gear set and connecting rod transmission are used to reduce the mass and inertia of the exoskeleton part. The torque required for the ankle joint is small, the actuator is light in weight, and is installed in series at the end to reduce the transmission structure. The series-parallel structure as a whole reduces the mass and inertia of the main part of the exoskeleton, reducing the difficulty of torque compensation and control. At the same time, a robot joint module is selected as the actuator. Compared with the traditional isokinetic instrument power head, it is smaller in size and lighter in weight, and has a miniaturized design to meet the needs of miniaturized lower limb rehabilitation equipment for homes, hospitals and other places.
[0064] In this application, since the knee joint adopts a parallel structure, it needs to be transmitted through a connecting rod. In order to meet the requirements of adjusting the length of the exoskeleton and ensure the transmission accuracy and angle accuracy, two sets of virtual constraint connecting rods are added.
[0065] It should be noted that in another embodiment, the driving method may be different, and the joint motor drive is replaced by a linear motor drive; the transmission method may be different, and the gear set and connecting rod drive is changed to a flexible Bowden cable drive; in another embodiment, the number of actuators may be different, changing the ankle joint from active to passive without a power source.
[0066] Based on the above embodiments, the present application also provides a control method for the isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module based on any one of the above schemes, such as Figure 8 As shown, the control method of the isokinetic multi-position rehabilitation exoskeleton module includes the following steps:
[0067] In step S101, after the user puts on the thigh binding and the calf binding, when the passive training mode is adopted, the driving component controls the thigh connection component and the calf connection component to rotate according to preset parameters, so that the thigh binding and the calf binding drive the user to perform muscle strength training of the hip joint and the knee joint at the same time;
[0068] In step S102, when the active training mode is adopted, according to the measured torque during the leg force exertion of the user, the driving component controls the thigh connection component and the calf connection component to rotate at a set speed according to the measured torque, so that the thigh binding and the calf binding drive the user to perform isokinetic muscle strength training of the hip joint and the knee joint at the same time.
[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the passive training function can be realized. The angle and speed are set to allow the exoskeleton to drive the human body to move. This is suitable for patients in the early stage of rehabilitation who do not have motor function, but the main emphasis here is on isokinetic training; the purpose of dynamic training is to stimulate the maximum muscle strength of the person. The angle and limit speed are set, the lower limbs actively exert force, and the sensor measures the torque. No matter how much force the person exerts, the corresponding joint of the exoskeleton must output the corresponding torque to ensure that the speed remains unchanged. This is suitable for the late stage of rehabilitation, with active movement ability, and lower limb training for healthy people.
[0070] The above control method of the present application is further described below through specific embodiments:
[0071] Step K10, installation and preparation: according to the lower limb to be trained (left or right), move the lower limb exoskeleton module to the corresponding position of the seat module and fix it with fasteners; if the other lower limb needs to be trained, the ankle mechanism can be removed as a whole and changed in direction, and then reinstalled in the corresponding position of the seat module; the subject adjusts the sitting posture so that the hip joint, knee joint and ankle joint are aligned with the various parts of the exoskeleton respectively; according to the length of the subject's lower limbs, adjust the length of the thigh and calf mechanisms to ensure that the exoskeleton fits the subject's lower limbs; adjust the position of the thigh binding and calf binding, fix them tightly to the subject's thigh and calf, and ensure that the foot and pedal are fixed.
[0072] Step K20, select the training mode: select single-joint isokinetic training, multi-joint isokinetic training or rehabilitation training mode according to training needs; in the single-joint training mode, select the corresponding motor to work according to the joint that needs to be trained (hip joint, knee joint or ankle joint), and the other motors are in a disabled state; when performing ankle joint training, the hip joint motor and the knee joint motor are disabled; when performing knee joint training, the hip joint motor and the ankle joint motor are disabled; when performing hip joint training, the knee joint motor and the ankle joint motor are disabled; in multi-joint isokinetic training or rehabilitation training mode, enable all motors to achieve coordinated training of multiple joints.
[0073] Step K30, start training: start the training program, the motor will drive the various parts of the exoskeleton to move according to the preset parameters (such as speed, angle, torque, etc.); the subject cooperates according to the training instructions and performs corresponding joint movements by feeling the drive of the exoskeleton; during the training process, the subject's joint movement, such as joint angle, speed, torque, etc., can be monitored in real time, and adjusted as needed.
[0074] Step K40, end training: when the scheduled training time is reached or the scheduled training task is completed, stop the training program; loosen the thigh and calf bindings to release the subject from the exoskeleton; clean and maintain the lower limb exoskeleton module as needed for next use.
