Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of rehabilitation medical machines, in particular to a decoupled parallel ankle joint rehabilitation robot. Background Art
[0002] Ankle sprain has become a common injury in reality. Ankle sprain ranks first among joint ligament injuries. It is often seen when walking or running on uneven ground, or accidentally slipping when going down stairs or walking on a slope, or losing the center of gravity during sports such as cycling and kicking a ball, or being stepped on or tripped during sports, causing the ankle joint to shift and damage the ankle ligaments. After the sprain, ankle function recovery training is required. However, the common methods of rehabilitation training today are ankle range of motion training, muscle strength training, standing training, balance training, and gait training. As the number of ankle sprain cases increases day by day, the patient's later rehabilitation treatment has gradually received attention, and the corresponding demand has also greatly increased. When conducting rehabilitation treatment, rehabilitation therapists are often the first choice that people think of, but due to the small number of rehabilitation therapists and limited energy, the effect of rehabilitation treatment cannot be guaranteed. In response to this situation, intelligent rehabilitation treatment equipment came into being. Digitalization and intelligence have greatly improved the efficiency of rehabilitation treatment, while also saving the workload of rehabilitation therapists. As an automated rehabilitation medical device, rehabilitation medical robots can help patients conduct scientific and effective rehabilitation training to restore the motor function of their injured parts.

Figure 1-5 As shown, a decoupled parallel ankle joint rehabilitation robot, the lower part of the device is a full sole support platform 1, the upper part of the full sole support platform is provided with three groups of connection holes 2, each group of connection holes 2 has a reinforcing rib as support, and the connection holes of each group are connected by two navicular bone pins 6 in the front, rear, left and right directions, wherein the front and rear navicular bone pins 602, 604, 606 have holes in the middle for connecting with the left and right navicular bone pins 601, 603, 605, and the left and right navicular bone pins 6 of the two parallel groups of connection holes 202, 203 are respectively connected with the dorsal talonavicular ligament connector and the medial malleolus ligament connector 4, and the medial malleolus ligament connectors 4 at the left and right ends are respectively connected with the left and right driving motors 8. The motors 8 on the left and right sides are respectively assembled by motor carriers 7, and the upper part of the motor carrier 7 is connected with the upper connecting plate, and the lower part has a support plate, and the lower part of the support plate has a connector connected with the last group of connection holes 201 of the full sole support platform, thereby driving the rotation of the full sole support platform.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution, further, the connection hole 201 on the full sole support platform 1 for connecting the motor carrier 7 is thicker than the remaining two connection holes connected to the dorsal talonavicular ligament connector and the medial malleolar ligament connector, and the connection hole 202 should be flush with the connection hole 203.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution, further, the length of the reinforcing rib used for support below the connecting hole should not exceed the overall length of the connecting hole.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution, further, the dorsal talonavicular ligament connector 3 is used to connect the motor 8 to the medial malleolar ligament connector 4, and the medial malleolar ligament connector 4 is used to connect the dorsal talonavicular ligament connector 3 to the scaphoid pin.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution, further, the connecting hole 2 is connected to the dorsal talonavicular ligament connector and the scaphoid ligament connector 4 by means of anterior-posterior and left-right scaphoid pins. The scaphoid pins at both ends of the left-right directions and between the dorsal talonavicular ligament connector and the medial malleolar ligament connector should be provided with limiting grooves and retaining rings for limiting.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution, further, the support plate connected to the posterior calcaneal ligament connector 201 and the motor carrier 7 should be fixed to the motor carrier.
