[0023] This invention discloses a rehabilitation therapy robot, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. This rehabilitation therapy robot features a robotic arm mounted on a base, equipped with a massager. During use, the robotic arm operates in multiple modes. It grasps the massage head to provide therapeutic massage to the patient. Simultaneously, the robotic arm adjusts its position by rotating. Initially, the patient sits upright in the electrically retractable seat and holds the handle. The forearm and rotating hip seat actively lift, aiding in joint mobility training. After activating the continuously variable damping mechanism, the patient actively pulls the handle, increasing resistance and assisting in forearm and upper arm muscle training. The patient can also choose a standing position and move using the walking mechanism. During movement, the rotating hip seat randomly rotates in both directions with small amplitudes, simulating uneven ground to aid in walking and balance training. This comprehensive, multi-functional rehabilitation and nursing training caters to various patient needs.
[0025] 2. During training, this rehabilitation therapy robot activates an electric push rod via the control unit, causing a sliding push plate to move towards the damping inserts. During this movement, the sliding push plate first pushes the uppermost set of damping inserts into the damping seat. At this point, the friction surfaces on the upper and lower sides of the damping inserts are in contact with the annular friction plates on the damping seat. As insertion continues, the contact area between the two gradually increases, increasing the frictional resistance. As the sliding push plate continues to move, multiple sets of damping inserts are inserted into the damping seat sequentially. By increasing the number of damping inserts, the frictional resistance is further increased. Finally, the C-shaped friction parts on the multiple damping inserts adhere to the outer surface of the friction column, further increasing the frictional resistance. This allows for stepless speed regulation of resistance during muscle training. Compared to traditional damping springs, it eliminates the problem of rapid rebound when force is released, making it safer and preventing injury.
[0026] 3. This rehabilitation therapy robot, equipped with a massager, allows the user to sit facing the base on an electrically retractable seat. The robotic arm picks up the massager and places the flexible padding attachment against the patient's back. The robotic arm then pushes the massager up and down against the patient's back, using rotating and movable pressure rollers to massage the back. Alternatively, the user can activate the electric telescopic rod, causing the movable pressure rollers on both sides to open and close, simulating the kneading motion of massage techniques. The user can also sit with their back to the base on the electrically retractable seat, where herbal patches can be attached to the heating plate on the outer surface of the massager for back heat therapy. This combination of methods achieves the therapeutic effect of massage for the patient. Attached Figure Description

[0070] Working principle; This device has multiple operating conditions during use, which will be described separately below for each condition;
[0071] Operating Condition 1: This device is used for nursing massage. The control unit 15 activates the electric retractable seat 12, causing it to extend outwards. Then, the electric retractable legs 122 extend downwards to contact the ground. At this time, the control unit 15 controls the robotic arm 2 to retrieve the massager 3 from the storage compartment 18. Figure 2 In the indicated state, by adjusting the rotating hip seat 21, rear upper arm 22, middle arm 23, and forearm 24, the connector 243 is inserted into the connecting slots 32 on both sides of the massager 3. Then, the electric pin 244 is activated and extends outward, inserting into the connecting slot 32. At the same time, the electrical connector 245 is inserted into the electrical connector socket 33, thus completing the power supply to the massager 3. Simultaneously, the robotic arm 2 rotates, causing the entire massager 3 to rotate to the position shown. Figure 16 In the indicated state, the user sits upright on the electric telescopic seat 12 facing the base 11, holding the armrests 172 with both hands, and placing their face inside the recess 14. The robotic arm 2 picks up the massager 3 and makes the flexible attachment 34 fit against the patient's back. The robotic arm 2 then pushes the massager 3 to slide up and down against the patient's back, rotating the pressure rollers 352 and the movable pressure rollers 357 to perform a roller massage on the patient's back. Alternatively, the user can activate the electric telescopic rod 355, causing the output end of the electric telescopic rod 355 to repeatedly extend and retract. The electric telescopic rod 355 drives the curved arms 354 on both sides to rotate, causing the movable pressure rollers 357 on both sides to open and close, simulating the kneading action in massage techniques. The user can also sit upright on the electric telescopic seat 12 with their back to the base 11. In this case, they can attach herbal patches such as plasters to the heating plate 36 on the outer surface of the massager 3 for back heat therapy. This combination of methods achieves the effect of massage therapy for the patient. After use, the robotic arm 2 puts the massager 3 back into the storage compartment 18 for storage.
[0072] Operating Condition 2: This device is used for muscle training, such as... Figure 3 In the indicated state, the patient sits upright on the electric telescopic seat 12 with their back to the base 11, holding the handles 242 with both hands. The rotating hip seat 21 and upper arm 22 remain stationary. The patient pulls the handles 242 towards their chest, causing the middle arm 23 and forearm 24 to rotate, thus exercising the patient's forearm muscles. The position is then adjusted as follows... Figure 15 In the state shown, the patient holds the handle 242 with both hands and pulls the handle 242 downward. At this time, the rotating hip seat 21, the upper arm 22 and the middle arm 23 are locked, and the forearm 24 rotates to train the patient's upper arm muscles.
[0073] During training, the electric push rod 254 is activated by the control host 15, causing the electric push rod 254 to move the sliding push plate 253 closer to the damping insert 252. When the sliding push plate 253 begins to contact the damping insert 252, it first pushes the uppermost set of damping inserts 252 into the damping seat 251. At this time, the friction surfaces 2521 on the upper and lower sides of the damping insert 252 are in contact with the annular friction plate 2514 on the damping seat 251. As it continues to be inserted, the friction contact area between the two gradually increases, thereby increasing the frictional resistance. Then, as the sliding push plate 253 continues to move, the lower sets of damping inserts 252 will be inserted into the damping seat 251 in sequence. By increasing the number of damping inserts 252, the frictional resistance is further increased. Finally, when all the damping inserts 252 are inserted into the damping seat 251, the frictional resistance is increased. When all 52 are inserted into the damping seat 251, the C-shaped friction portions 2522 on the multiple damping inserts 252 adhere to the outer surface of the friction column 2511, thereby increasing the frictional resistance. This allows for stepless speed regulation of resistance during muscle training, catering to the resistance needs of different training stages. Compared with traditional damping springs, it eliminates the problem of rapid rebound when the force is released, making it safer and preventing injury. After training, the electric push rod 254 resets, and under the action of the reset spring 257, the multiple damping inserts 252 automatically move out of the damping seat 251, preventing excessive frictional resistance from damaging the motors and the stepless speed regulation damping components 25 when the first servo motor 223 and the second servo motor 234 drive the middle arm 23 and forearm 24.
[0074] Condition 3: This device is used for joint mobility training, such as... Figure 15 In this state, the patient sits upright on the electric telescopic seat 12 with their back to the base 11 and their hands holding the handles 242. At this time, the hip seat 21, upper arm 22 and middle arm 23 remain stationary, while the forearm 24 rotates upward to drive the patient's forearm to perform flexion and extension movements. Then, the hip seat 21 rotates upward to drive the patient's upper arm to rotate upward to perform shoulder joint mobility training, thereby helping the patient to perform joint opening and closing range of motion training.
[0075] Operating Condition 4: This device is used for balance and coordination training, such as... Figure 14 In this state, the patient remains standing with both hands gripping the handles 242. The base 11 moves via the bottom walking component 13, and the patient follows the base 11 with the support of the robotic arm 2. During the movement, the rotating hip seat 21 will rotate randomly in both directions with small amplitudes, thereby reducing the support effect on the patient's arms. This is used to simulate the patient walking on uneven ground, thereby helping the patient to conduct walking training and balance training.
