Three branches are connected in parallel between the trunk exoskeleton base 1 and the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2, including a first branch 3 and two second branches 4. The trunk exoskeleton upper platform and the trunk exoskeleton base are both enclosed by detachable hoops connected end to end to form an elliptical cylindrical shape suitable for the human body. It is recommended to use a widened belt with a belt buckle to facilitate wearing and tightness adjustment. When in use, the widened belt is connected end to end to form an elliptical cylindrical shape and fixed on the human body; wherein, the trunk exoskeleton upper platform is laterally clamped to the human chest, and the trunk exoskeleton base is laterally clamped to the human waist.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the first branch 3 includes a first revolute pair 31, a seventh link 37, a second revolute pair 34, a second link 35 and a first Hooke's joint 36 which are sequentially connected between the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2; one end of the seventh link 37 is connected to the torso exoskeleton base 1 through the first revolute pair 31, the other end of the seventh link 37 is connected to one end of the second link 35 through the second revolute pair 34, and the other end of the second link 35 is connected to the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2 through the first Hooke's joint 36. The two second branches 4 each include a third revolute pair 41, a third connecting rod 42, a second Hooke's joint 43, a fourth connecting rod 44 and a first ball joint 45 which are sequentially connected between the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2; one end of the third connecting rod 42 is connected to the torso exoskeleton base 1 through the third revolute pair 41, the other end of the third connecting rod 42 is connected to one end of the fourth connecting rod 44 through the second Hooke's joint 43, and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 44 is connected to the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2 through the first ball joint 45.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating pair 31 includes a first rotating pair base 311 and a first rotating pair shaft 312, which is driven by a first motor 314 (by Figure 2 It can be seen that: the axis of the first rotating sub-shaft is perpendicular to the generatrix of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton base and perpendicular to the short axis of the elliptical cylinder); the first rotating sub-base 311 is fixedly set on the torso exoskeleton base 1, the seventh connecting rod 37 is rotationally matched with the first rotating sub-base 311 through the first rotating sub-shaft 312, and the first motor 314 is fixedly set on the side of the first rotating sub-base 311. The second rotating sub-base 34 is driven by the third motor 341, and the third motor 341 is fixedly set on the second connecting rod 35. The first Hooke's joint 36 includes a first Hooke's joint base 363 and a first rotating shaft 361 of the first Hooke's joint and a second rotating shaft 362 of the first Hooke's joint that are perpendicular to each other; the first rotating shaft 361 of the first Hooke's joint is rotationally connected to the upper platform 2 of the torso exoskeleton, and the second rotating shaft 362 of the first Hooke's joint is tightly connected to the second connecting rod 35. The axis of the first rotating sub-shaft 312 and the axis of the second rotating shaft 362 of the first Hooke's joint are parallel to each other.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the third rotational pair 41 includes a third rotational pair base 411 and a third rotational pair shaft 412, which are driven by a fourth motor 413; the third rotational pair base 411 is fixedly arranged on the torso exoskeleton base 1, and the third connecting rod 42 is fixed to the third rotational pair shaft and is rotationally matched with the third rotational pair base 411 through the third rotational pair shaft 412 (by the fourth motor 413). Figure 2It can be seen that: the axis of the third rotational auxiliary shaft is perpendicular to the generatrix of the elliptical cylindrical surface of the torso exoskeleton base); the fourth motor 413 is fixedly arranged on the side of the third rotational auxiliary base 411, and the motor shaft is connected to the third rotational auxiliary shaft through a coupling. The second Hooke's joint 43 (existing technology) is connected between the third connecting rod 42 and the fourth connecting rod 44; the axis of one of the rotational shafts in the cross shaft 46 of the second Hooke's joint is arranged parallel to the axis of the third rotational auxiliary shaft 412.

[0053] It can be seen from the figure that the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2 are both hoops connected to form an elliptical cylinder, the connection point between the first branch and the torso exoskeleton upper platform is located on the short axis of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton upper platform, and the connection point between the first branch and the torso exoskeleton base is located on the short axis of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton base; the two second branches are symmetrically arranged about the connection point of the first branch, and the two connection points of the two second branches on the torso exoskeleton upper platform are located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton upper platform; the two connection points of the two second branches on the torso exoskeleton base are symmetrically arranged to the short axis of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton base, and the distance between the two connection points is smaller than the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton base.

[0054] When in use, the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2 are fixed on the human trunk in an elliptical cylinder shape; the connection point of the first branch 3 on the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform is located on the short axis of the elliptical cylinder, and is located on the back of the user when in use; because the two connection points of the second branch on the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2 are located on the two long axes of the elliptical cylinder of the torso exoskeleton upper platform, the two connection points on the torso exoskeleton base 1 are closer to the connection point of the first branch, so that the two second branches 4 are arranged obliquely between the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2, so that the two third rotation secondary axes intersect at an angle less than 180 degrees.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first rotation pair 31 , the second rotation pair 34 and the third rotation pair 41 are all drive pairs, and are driven by ball screw mechanisms driven by motors respectively.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] This embodiment is basically similar to the embodiment 1, and the only difference is the arrangement of the two second branches 4 of this embodiment; Figure 5As shown, the third rotational secondary axes of the two second branches 4 are parallel to each other; that is, the two connection points of the second branches on the trunk exoskeleton base 1 are located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton base; naturally, the two connection points of the second branches on the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2 are also located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton upper platform. When in use, the two second branches are located on the left and right sides of the user.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is only the structure of the two second branches 4 of this embodiment; Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the two second branches 4 include a third Hooke's joint 51, a fifth connecting rod 52, a sixth connecting rod 53 and a second ball joint 54 which are sequentially connected between the trunk exoskeleton base 1 and the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2. The fifth connecting rod 52 is connected to the trunk exoskeleton base 1 through the third Hooke's joint 51. The fifth connecting rod 52 cooperates with the sixth connecting rod 53 to form a first moving pair 57. The sixth connecting rod 53 is connected to the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2 through the second ball joint 54. The third Hooke's joint 51 includes a cross coupling 55 and a third Hooke's joint base 56. The third Hooke's joint base 56 is fixedly arranged on the trunk exoskeleton base 1. The third Hooke's joint base 56 is connected to the fifth connecting rod 52 through the cross coupling 55. The two second branches 4 are arranged symmetrically about the first branch 3.

[0060] In the two second branches 4, the axis of the fifth connecting rod 52 is coaxially arranged with the axis of the sixth connecting rod 53 and passes through the axis of the cross coupling of the third Hooke's joint and the axis of the second ball joint 54; at the same time, the two third Hooke's joint cross axes 55 are connected to the axis of the rotating shaft of the trunk exoskeleton base, symmetrically arranged with the short axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton base 1 and inclined to each other at an angle, preferably 120°. The use status of the three branches is the same as that of Example 1.

[0061] Example 4

[0062] This embodiment is basically similar to Embodiment 3, and the only difference is the connection point positions of the two second branches 4 of this embodiment on the trunk exoskeleton base; Figure 8 As shown, in the two second branches, two third Hooke's cross axes connect two connection points of the trunk exoskeleton base and are located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton base. When in use, the two second branches are located on the left and right sides of the user.

[0063] Example 5

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the structure of the first branch is different; specifically, the servo electric cylinder 32 and the first connecting rod 33 replace the seventh connecting rod 37 in the first branch of the first embodiment. Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the first branch 3 includes a first rotation pair 31, a servo electric cylinder 32, a first connecting rod 33, a second rotation pair 34, a second connecting rod 35 and a first Hooke's hinge 36 which are sequentially connected between the torso exoskeleton base 1 and the torso exoskeleton upper platform 2; the cylinder body of the servo electric cylinder 32 is rotationally matched with the torso exoskeleton base 1 through the first rotation pair 31, and the push-pull rod of the servo electric cylinder 32 is connected to one end of the first connecting rod 33, so that the servo electric cylinder cooperates with the first connecting rod to form a second moving pair; it can be seen from the figure that the first rotation pair, the second rotation pair, and the third rotation pair are all drive pairs, which are driven by a ball screw mechanism driven by a motor respectively, and the servo electric cylinder 32 is also a drive pair, and is a redundant drive, which can effectively increase the working space of the mechanism. The use status of the three branches is the same as that of Example 1.

[0065] Example 6

[0066] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 is only the connection point position of the second branch 4 of this embodiment on the trunk exoskeleton base.

[0067] like Fig.11 As shown, the third secondary axes of rotation 412 of the two second branches 4 are parallel to each other; that is, the two connection points of the second branches on the trunk exoskeleton base 1 are located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton base; naturally, the two connection points of the second branches on the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2 are also located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton upper platform. When in use, the two second branches are located on the left and right sides of the user.

[0068] Example 7

[0069] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 5 lies only in the structure of the second branch 4 of this embodiment; that is, the second Hooke's joint 43 in the second branch 4 of embodiment 5 is changed into the first moving pair 57 .

[0070] like Fig.12 As shown, the structures of the two second branches 4 are the same as those of the second branch 4 in Example 3. The second branch 4 includes a third Hooke's joint 51, a fifth connecting rod 52, a sixth connecting rod 53 and a second ball joint 54 which are sequentially connected between the trunk exoskeleton base 1 and the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2. The fifth connecting rod 52 is connected to the trunk exoskeleton base 1 through the third Hooke's joint 51. The fifth connecting rod 52 cooperates with the sixth connecting rod 53 to form a first moving pair 57. The positions of the two connection points of the second branch 4 on the trunk exoskeleton base 1 and the two connection points on the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2 remain unchanged. The use status of the three branches is the same as that of Example 1.

[0071] Example 8

[0072] The only difference between this embodiment and embodiment 7 is the connection point position of the second branch 4 of this embodiment on the trunk exoskeleton base 1.

[0073] like Fig.13 As shown, in this embodiment, the two second branches 4 are arranged non-inclined between the trunk exoskeleton base 1 and the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2; that is, the two connection points of the second branches on the trunk exoskeleton base 1 are located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton base; at the same time, the two connection points of the second branches on the trunk exoskeleton upper platform 2 are also located on the long axis of the elliptical cylinder of the trunk exoskeleton upper platform. When in use, the two second branches are located on the left and right sides of the user.

[0074] The parallel trunk rehabilitation robot can achieve high-precision movement in trunk rehabilitation training. It is worn on the human body through the trunk exoskeleton base and the trunk exoskeleton upper platform. The redundant drive joints can achieve the large range of movement required for the rehabilitation process. During rehabilitation exercise training, the parallel trunk rehabilitation robot can not only ensure the balance of movement, but also provide support for the human body, effectively avoiding secondary injuries to patients during the rehabilitation process, so as to meet the safety requirements of medical rehabilitation applications.

[0075] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essence of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily.
