Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the fields of rehabilitation engineering and robotics technology, and in particular to a three-degree-of-freedom pelvic driving device. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the aging trend of my country's population has intensified, the number of traffic accidents has increased, and the number of people with lower limb movement disorders caused by various diseases (especially stroke, infarction, spinal cord injury, etc.) has increased day by day, which has had a great impact on the daily life of patients. In addition to surgery and drug treatment, reasonable and effective rehabilitation training is also very important for patients to restore normal gait. The current gait rehabilitation training robots focus more on simulating normal walking movements of the lower limbs to achieve the effect of rehabilitation training. Some exoskeleton rehabilitation robots perform rehabilitation training by restraining and driving the lower limbs; some pedal-type rehabilitation training robots use upper suspension weight reduction solutions to achieve better rehabilitation training effects. However, both solutions lack control over the pelvic area, which can easily lead to abnormal pelvic movement during walking training, which is very unfavorable for patients with lower limb dysfunction caused by lumbar injuries and spinal injuries.
[0003] After searching existing patents, it was found that in the prior art, one pelvic mechanism adjusts the width by adjusting the reverse rotation mechanism between the middle beam and the support arm and enables the patient to move freely in multiple directions; another rehabilitation robot uses a set of gravity balance units and multiple traction ropes to coordinate actions to help patients reproduce the pelvic movement trajectory of normal people to achieve the effect of rehabilitation training. However, these pelvic auxiliary rehabilitation mechanisms do not fully constrain the pelvis during gait rehabilitation, and the movement of the pelvis is quite different from that during normal gait.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments are implemented based on the technical solutions of the present invention, and detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures are given. However, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0014] A pelvic twisting motion driving device for a walking rehabilitation robot comprises a base, a vertical moving system, a horizontal moving system, a rotating system, and a pelvic supporting element.
[0015] The vertical moving system includes a vertical power device 15, a vertical ball screw 13, a vertical guide rail 12, and a vertical moving platform 14. The vertical moving platform 14 is fixed to the base 1 through the bottom support plate 6 and is placed vertically relative to the base 1. The vertical power device 15 is fixed on the platform at the upper end of the vertical moving platform 14. The vertical power device 15 is connected to the vertical ball screw 13 through a coupling to drive the vertical ball screw 13 to rotate. The vertical ball screw 13 is installed in the groove of the vertical moving platform 14 in a manner of fixing both ends. Two parallel vertical guide rails 12 are evenly distributed on both sides of the vertical ball screw 13 and fixed on the vertical moving platform 14.
[0016] The horizontal moving system includes a horizontal power device 18, a first slide 1, a horizontal ball screw 9, and a horizontal guide rail 16. The horizontal power device 18 is fixed on the platform on the left side of the first slide 17. The horizontal power device 18 is connected to the horizontal ball screw 9 through a coupling to drive the horizontal ball screw 9 to rotate. The horizontal ball screw 9 is installed in the groove of the first slide 17 in a way that both ends are fixed. Two parallel horizontal guide rails 16 are evenly distributed on both sides of the horizontal ball screw 9 and fixed on the first slide 17.
[0017] The rotation system includes a rotation power device 2, a driving shaft 10, a driven shaft 21, a second slide 8, a left connecting rod 19, a right connecting rod 7, an active rod 11, and a driven rod 21. The second slide 8 is connected to the horizontal movement system through a slider. The rotation power device is fixed at the bottom of the second slide 8, and the rotation power device 2 drives the driving shaft 10 to rotate. The driving shaft 10 is connected to the active rod 11 through a connecting piece, and the active rod 11 is driven to rotate by the driving shaft 10. The left connecting rod 19 is hinged to the active rod 11 at hinge A, and the right connecting rod 7 is hinged to the active rod 11 at hinge B. The driven shaft 21 is connected to the driven rod 21 through a connecting piece, and the driven shaft 21 is driven to rotate by the driven rod 21. The left connecting rod 19 is hinged to the driven rod 21 at hinge C, and the right connecting rod 7 is hinged to the driven rod 21 at hinge D. The active rod 11, the driven rod 21, the left connecting rod 19, and the right connecting rod 7 form a first parallel four-bar mechanism through hinges A, B, C, and D.
[0018] The pelvic support unit is composed of a left support plate 24, a right support plate 26, a curved rod 22, a left telescopic rod 23, and a right telescopic rod 25. The left telescopic rod 23 is hinged to the left connecting rod 19 at a hinge E, and the right telescopic rod 25 is hinged to the right connecting rod 7 at a hinge F. The active rod 11, the pelvic support unit 2, the left connecting rod 19, and the right connecting rod 7 form a second parallel four-bar mechanism through hinges A, B, E, and F. The two parallel four-bar mechanisms can limit the position of the rotation center of all the devices connected to the left and right connecting rods, so that the rotation centers of these devices are all located on the straight line determined by the center of the active shaft 10 and the center of the driven shaft 21. The left pelvic support plate 24 is installed at the front end of the left telescopic rod 23 and can move left and right under the drive of the left telescopic rod 23. The right pelvic support plate 26 is installed at the front end of the right telescopic rod 25 and can move left and right under the drive of the right telescopic rod 25, so as to control the spacing between the left and right support plates and realize the function of left and right adjustment according to the actual situation of the human body. Elastic strips can be installed in the holes reserved on the left and right support plates to achieve better fixation and protection of the pelvic support unit for the human body. The pelvic support unit 2 is fixed on the left connecting rod 19 and the right connecting rod 7, so the rotation center of the pelvic support unit 2 is also on the straight line determined by the center of the driving shaft 10 and the driven shaft 21, and the torsional movement of the pelvis around the vertical axis of the human body can be achieved.
[0019] When the horizontal moving system and the vertical moving system remain relatively stationary, the rotating system drives the active shaft 10 to rotate through the rotating power device, and the active shaft 10 transmits the power to the active rod 11. The active rod 11 can drive the driven rod 20 to rotate through the left and right connecting rods, and also drive the entire pelvic support unit 2 to rotate through the left and right connecting rods. The position of the rotation center of the pelvic support unit 2 is limited by two parallel four-bar mechanisms, thereby realizing the function of the pelvic support unit 2 to assist the human pelvis to twist left and right; when the vertical moving system remains relatively stationary, the horizontal moving system 4 can drive the rotating system 5 and the pelvic support unit 2 to move left and right, thereby realizing the left and right movement of the pelvis. The vertical moving system 3 can drive the horizontal moving system 9, the rotating system 5 and the pelvic support unit 2 to move up and down, thereby realizing the up and down movement of the pelvis. The vertical moving system 3, the horizontal moving system 9, and the rotating system 5 can move individually or in combination, thereby realizing pelvic movement in any direction.
