Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of prosthetics technology, specifically a smart bionic prosthesis with knee-ankle linkage. Background Technology
[0002] A complete gait cycle is defined as the period from the heel of one foot striking the ground to the heel of the same foot striking the ground again. This cycle can be clearly divided into two main phases: the stance phase (approximately 60%), which refers to the phase in which the foot contacts the ground and bears the body weight; and the swing phase (approximately 40%), which refers to the phase in which the foot leaves the ground and swings forward.
[0003] During the gait cycle, the movement patterns of the knee and ankle joints follow specific rules: the knee joint needs to maintain slight flexion during the stance phase (especially during the weight-bearing phase) to maintain stability, and needs to be flexed to the maximum angle during the swing phase to ensure that the foot is effectively lifted off the ground; the ankle joint undergoes a transition from dorsiflexion to plantarflexion during the stance phase (such as the push-off phase), and needs to be dorsiflexed rapidly at the beginning of the swing phase to ensure that the toes are away from the ground.
[0004] Existing knee-ankle linked intelligent bionic prostheses have the following drawbacks:
[0005] First, the knee and ankle joints are controlled independently, lacking biomechanical linkage, resulting in insufficient coordination between ankle extension and knee flexion during the gait cycle. At the same time, since the knee and ankle joints provide power output simultaneously, it increases the size and weight of the battery and motor, thereby increasing the wearer's energy consumption.
[0006] Second, terrain adaptability relies on preset mode switching, and dynamic response is delayed, requiring the wearer to actively trigger mode switching.
[0007] Third, because the pre-pressure cannot be adjusted, users of different weights need to have their prostheses customized to match their weight, which significantly increases production costs.
[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a smart bionic prosthesis with knee-ankle linkage to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0035] The lower end of the spring assembly 16 is fixed with a foot plate 15.
[0036] In this embodiment, a battery holder 21 is provided inside the swing part 102. The battery holder 21 has two layers, with a battery 2 fixedly installed on the lower layer and a controller 3 and a control cooler 31 horizontally installed on the upper layer. The controller 3 controls the speed and direction of the brushless motor 4, and the control cooler 31 cools the controller 3.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the torque amplifier 6 includes a sun gear 61 and a fixed frame 64. The sun gear 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the harmonic reducer 5. A gear ring 63 is coaxially arranged outside the sun gear 61, and a bevel gear ring 7 is fixed outside the gear ring 63.

The increased torque is transmitted to the crank disc 8 through the bevel gear ring 7.
[0038] In this embodiment, the variable diameter crank device 9 includes a linear guide rail 92, a micro linear motor 93, and an eccentric block 94. The linear guide rail 92 is fixed in a fixed groove 91 opened radially along the crank disc 8. The eccentric block 94 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 92.

The eccentric block 94 is slidably connected to the transmission screw. The output shaft of the micro linear motor 93 is connected to the transmission screw through gear meshing. A hinge ball 95 is fixed on the eccentric block 94, and a connecting rod 96 is hinged to the end of the hinge ball 95.

The output shaft of the micro linear motor 93 drives the transmission screw to move through gear meshing, and the transmission screw drives the eccentric block 94 to move on the linear guide rail 92.
[0039] In this embodiment, a retractable electromagnetic pin 98 is provided at the middle position of the lower end face of the eccentric block 94; a set of electromagnetic pin holes 97 are equidistantly opened on the upper end face of the linear guide rail 92; a position sensor 99 is arranged parallel to each electromagnetic pin hole 97 on the linear guide rail 92; the three electromagnetic pin holes 97 correspond to three different states of walking, running, and climbing stairs in the radial direction from the inside to the outside; under normal circumstances, the brushless motor 4 outputs a medium speed, the eccentric block 94 is fixed at the electromagnetic pin hole 97 closest to the center, and the variable diameter crank device 9 outputs a low torque, which meets the requirements of the walking state; when running, the brushless motor 4 outputs a high speed, the electromagnetic pin 98 is de-energized and retracts, and the micro linear motor 93 controls the eccentric block 94 to retract. When the eccentric block 94 moves, and the position sensor 99 detects that the eccentric block 94 has reached the electromagnetic pin hole 97 at the middle position, the electromagnetic pin 98 is energized and extends into the electromagnetic pin hole 97 to fix the eccentric block 94.

When climbing stairs, the brushless motor 4 outputs low speed, the electromagnetic pin 98 is de-energized and retracts, and the micro linear motor 93 controls the movement of the eccentric block 94. When the position sensor 99 detects that the eccentric block 94 has reached the electromagnetic pin hole 97 furthest from the center, the electromagnetic pin 98 is energized and extends into the electromagnetic pin hole 97 to fix the eccentric block 94. At this time, the variable diameter crank device 9 outputs high torque to meet the needs of climbing stairs.
[0040] In this embodiment, the spring assembly 16 includes a tibial support 161 and a spring fixing seat 162. The lower end of the tibial support 161 is rotatably connected to the spring fixing seat 162; and the upper end of the tibial support 161 is fixedly connected to a cross-shaft coupling 14; the spring fixing seat 162 is fixedly connected to the plantar plate 15; a plantar flexion spring 163 and a dorsiflexion spring 164 are provided between the tibial support 161 and the spring fixing seat 162, wherein the plantar flexion spring 163 is hinged to the spring fixing seat 162 and located in the heel area of the plantar plate 15, and the dorsiflexion spring... 164 is hinged to the spring fixing seat 162 and located in the forefoot area of the plantar plate 15; the tibial support 161 has grooves 165 on both sides corresponding to the plantar flexion spring 163 and the dorsiflexion spring 164; each groove 165 is slidably provided with a connecting bolt 167, and the other end of the plantar flexion spring 163 and the dorsiflexion spring 164 are respectively connected to the connecting bolt 167; the plantar flexion spring 163 is a high-stiffness disc spring for cushioning hard sole surfaces; the dorsiflexion spring 164 is a low-stiffness helical spring for adapting to soft terrain;
[0041] Each connecting bolt 167 is threaded with an adjusting nut 166; the position of the movable connecting bolt 167 on the slide 165 is locked by the adjusting nut 166, so as to change the pre-compression of the plantar flexion spring 163 and the dorsiflexion spring 164 to suit users of the same weight.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a pressure sensor is provided at the bottom of both the plantar flexion spring 163 and the dorsiflexion spring 164.
[0043] In this embodiment, multiple pressure sensors are evenly arranged on the lower end face of the foot plate 15.
[0044] In this embodiment, a rotary encoder 12 coaxial with the crank disk 8 is vertically arranged outside the fixing part 101. The rotary encoder 12 is connected to the crank disk 8 through the transmission shaft 11. The rotary encoder 12 is used to detect the angle and angular velocity of the crank disk 8.
[0045] Specifically, working state one: initial support phase (heel touches the ground)
[0046] Knee joint movement: The controller controls the brushless motor to work. The brushless motor outputs extension torque. The extension torque is transmitted to the crank plate through the harmonic reducer and torque amplifier, which drives the crank plate to rotate clockwise. The transmission shaft drives the swing part and the lower part to extend forward.
[0047] Ankle response: The plantar flexion spring is slowly compressed, the dorsiflexion spring is slowly stretched, and the ankle joint is slowly dorsiflexed.
[0048] Working state 2: Mid-support phase (full foot on the ground)
[0049] Terrain Adaptive: When encountering a slope, the change in the inclination angle of the foot plate triggers the fine adjustment of the cross-shaft coupling. The adjustment range of the cross-shaft coupling is -3° to 3°, and the cross-shaft coupling does not affect the operation of the spring assembly.
[0050] The pressure distribution of the spring assembly changes. Pressure sensors are installed at the bottom of both the plantar flexor and dorsiflexor springs. If the pressure ratio between the dorsiflexor and plantar flexor springs is greater than 1.2, it is determined to be an uphill slope. The controller controls the brushless motor to increase its output by 30%, and the knee flexion angle increases by 3° to 5°. If the pressure ratio between the dorsiflexor and plantar flexor springs is less than 0.8, it is determined to be a downhill slope. The controller controls the brushless motor to decrease its output by 30%, and the knee flexion angle decreases by 3° to 5°.
[0051] Working state three: End of the support phase (stepping off)
[0052] Knee joint movement: The controller controls the brushless motor to work in reverse. The brushless motor outputs flexion torque, which is transmitted to the crank plate through the harmonic reducer and torque amplifier, causing the crank plate to rotate counterclockwise. The transmission shaft drives the swing part and the lower part to flex backward.
[0053] Ankle popping sound: The plantar flexion and dorsiflexion springs are released instantly, driving the ankle joint to plantar flex 25°.
[0054] Working state four: Oscillation phase (toes off the ground)
[0055] Knee joint movement: The controller controls the brushless motor to work in reverse at high speed. The brushless motor outputs flexion torque, which is transmitted to the crank plate through the harmonic reducer and torque amplifier. The crank plate rotates 70° counterclockwise, and the transmission shaft drives the swing part and the lower part to flex backward.
[0056] Ankle joint reduction: The plantar flexor spring and dorsiflexor spring rebound drive dorsiflexion of 15° to prevent the toes from dragging on the ground.
[0057] When climbing stairs, the peak torque required is 4000 N·m. The brushless motor outputs at low speed, while the variable diameter crank device outputs at high torque. Multiple pressure sensors are evenly arranged on the lower end face of the foot plate 15. When the pressure center is detected to have shifted back by more than 60%, the electromagnetic pin is de-energized and retracts. The micro linear motor controls the eccentric block to move. When the position sensor detects that the eccentric block has reached the electromagnetic pin hole furthest from the center, the electromagnetic pin is energized and extends into the electromagnetic pin hole to fix the eccentric block. At this time, the variable diameter crank device outputs at low speed and high torque, which meets the requirements for climbing stairs.
[0058] When running, balanced acceleration is required. The brushless motor outputs high speed, the variable diameter crank mechanism outputs medium torque, and the spring compression increases to provide sufficient force to the ankle joint when running forward. When the rotary encoder detects that the knee flexion angular velocity is greater than 200° / s, it is determined to be in running state. The electromagnetic pin retracts when de-energized, and the micro linear motor controls the movement of the eccentric block. When the position sensor detects that the eccentric block has reached the electromagnetic pin hole in the middle position, the electromagnetic pin is energized and extends into the electromagnetic pin hole to fix the eccentric block. At this time, the variable diameter crank mechanism outputs medium speed to meet the need for balanced acceleration in running state.
[0059] Under normal circumstances, the brushless motor outputs medium speed, the variable diameter crank device outputs low torque, and the eccentric block is fixed in the electromagnetic pin hole closest to the center of the circle to meet the requirements of the walking state.
[0060] The pre-compression of the spring assembly within the tibial support is adjustable to accommodate users of different weights.
