[0036] This embodiment provides a bionic spine device 10, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the system includes a spinal structure 100 and an adjustment structure 200. The spinal structure 100 includes a plurality of vertebrae 110 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Each pair of adjacent vertebrae 110 is connected by a connector 120 and can rotate left and right and forward and backward relative to each other. Among the plurality of vertebrae 110, the vertebrae 110 located in the upper region form the cervical segment 100B, the vertebrae 110 located in the middle region form the thoracic segment 100C, and the vertebrae 110 located in the lower region form the cervical segment 100B. 110 forms lumbar segment 100D; the adjustment structure 200 includes a first link 210 and a second link 220 located on the front side of the spinal structure 100. The first link 210 is a telescopic rod, and the top end of the first link 210 is fixed to the junction area of cervical segment 100B and thoracic segment 100C. The top end of the second link 220 is hinged to the bottom end of the first link 210 through a hinge shaft, and the bottom end is hinged to the bottom area of lumbar segment 100D through a hinge shaft. The hinge shaft extends in the left and right direction.
[0037] The bionic spine device 10 provided by the embodiment is arranged in a top-down manner between the plurality of vertebrae 110 of the spine structure 100 through the connecting piece 120, the vertebral body 113 of each vertebra 110 extends in a strip shape in a top-down corresponding manner, and the vertebral body 113 is located on the front side of the processus 114 (imitating the transverse process and the spinous process); any vertebra 110 can rotate left and right and rotate forward and backward relative to the adjacent vertebra 110, so as to imitate the left and right swinging and the forward and backward tilting movement of the human spine; the adjusting structure 200 is arranged on the front side of the spine structure 100, the bottom end of the second connecting rod 220 in the adjusting structure 200 is hinged to the bottom of the lumbar vertebra segment 100D through a hinge shaft extending left and right, can rotate in the forward and backward direction around the hinge shaft, the bottom end of the first connecting rod 210 is hinged to the top end of the second connecting rod 220 through a hinge shaft extending left and right, and the top end of the first connecting rod 210 is fixedly connected to the joint area of the cervical vertebra segment 100B and the thoracic vertebra segment 100C, specifically, can be fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cervical vertebra segment 100B, the top end of the thoracic vertebra segment 100C, or the connecting piece 120 between the cervical vertebra segment 100B and the thoracic vertebra segment 100C; the first connecting rod 210 and the second connecting rod 220 are arranged in a forward convex angle shape on the front side of the spine structure 100.
[0038] In use, the bionic spine device 10 can be adjusted according to the required physiological curvature of the spine, and when the bionic spine device 10 is applied to the comfort test of a seat, the sitting posture of abutting against the backrest of the seat and the sitting posture of partially or completely leaving the backrest of the seat can be included. Specifically, the embodiment also provides a use method applied to the comfort test of a seat of the bionic spine device, and the use method comprises the following steps:
[0039] (1) When the spine structure 100 needs to abut against the backrest of the seat, the bionic spine device is placed on the seat to be tested, and the vertebrae 110 of the bionic spine device 10 are pushed and pulled forward and backward and / or pushed and pulled left and right, so that the vertebrae 110 abut against the backrest of the seat to be tested in a preset sitting posture. By directly adjusting the vertebrae 110 to abut against the backrest of the seat, the abutting property of the spine structure 100 and the backrest can be effectively ensured, and the accuracy of the subsequent test can be ensured; wherein, during the adjusting process, the adjusting structure 200 is in a follow-up state.
[0040] (2) When the spine structure 100 needs to abut against the backrest of the seat or at least partially leave the backrest of the seat, the top end of the second connecting rod 220 of the bionic spine device 10 is adjusted to rotate forward by a preset angle, so as to increase the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100 of the bionic spine device 10; or, the top end of the second connecting rod 220 of the bionic spine device 10 is adjusted to rotate backward by a preset angle, so as to reduce the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100 of the bionic spine device 10.
[0041] Specifically, when the top end of the second connecting rod 220 is adjusted to rotate forward, the bottom end of the first connecting rod 210 moves forward and downward synchronously with the top end of the second connecting rod 220, and correspondingly, the length of the first connecting rod 210 is adapted to be elongated, and the inclination of the first connecting rod 210 relative to the horizontal plane gradually decreases. Since the top end of the first connecting rod 210 is fixedly connected to the joint area of the thoracic vertebra segment 100C and the cervical vertebra segment 100B, as the angle of the first connecting rod 210 changes, the first connecting rod 210 will pull the physiological curvature of the joint area to increase, and the physiological curvature of the entire spine structure 100 will increase as a whole. Similarly, when the top end of the second connecting rod 220 is adjusted to rotate backward, the bottom end of the first connecting rod 210 moves backward and upward synchronously with the top end of the second connecting rod 220, and correspondingly, the length of the first connecting rod 210 is adapted to be shortened, and the inclination of the first connecting rod 210 relative to the horizontal plane gradually increases. As the angle of the first connecting rod 210 changes, the first connecting rod 210 will push the physiological curvature of the joint area to decrease, and the physiological curvature of the entire spine structure 100 will decrease as a whole.
[0042] Therefore, in the simulated spine provided by the embodiment, by arranging the adjusting structure 200 on the front side of the spine structure 100 and limiting the connection position of the adjusting structure 200 and the spine structure 100, the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100 can be adjusted by rotating the second connecting rod 220, thereby improving the adjusting convenience of the bionic spine device 10, and enabling the bionic spine device 10 to be conveniently applicable to different test requirements, specifically, to the comfort test of seats with different angles and different sitting postures.
[0043] Specifically, the top end of the bionic spine device 10 can be connected with a head 20, the top of the thoracic vertebra segment 100C in the bionic spine device 10 is connected with a shoulder 30, the outer end of the shoulder 30 is provided with an arm 40, the bottom end of the bionic spine device 10 is connected with a hip 50, the hip 50 is provided with a leg 60, and the head 20, the bionic spine device 10, the shoulder 30, the arm 40, the hip 50 and the leg 60 are all covered with simulated skin.
[0044] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the length of the second connecting rod 220 is less than the extension length of the lumbar vertebra segment 100D. This makes the push-pull adjustment of the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100 by the rotation cooperation of the first connecting rod 210 and the second connecting rod 220 more similar to the human spine, and correspondingly improves the test accuracy.
[0045] The adjacent vertebrae 110 are rotationally connected by the connecting piece 120, and a certain rotation resistance exists between the vertebrae 110 and the connecting piece 120 when the relative rotation occurs; when the adjusting structure 200 does not apply the pushing and pulling force to the spine structure 100, the current posture can be maintained between the vertebrae 110 and the connecting piece 120; when the pushing and pulling force applied by the adjusting structure 200 to the spine structure 100 can overcome the resistance, the spine structure 100 can be pushed and pulled to perform the forward and backward pitching movement, so as to adjust the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100.
[0046] Alternatively, the locking structure 130 is arranged between the vertebrae 110 and the connecting piece 120, and the locking structure 130 has a locking position and an unlocking position; when the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100 needs to be adjusted, the locking structure 130 can be adjusted to the unlocking position first, so that the relative rotation between the vertebrae 110 and the connecting piece 120 can be realized under the adjusting action of the adjusting structure 200, so as to adjust the physiological curvature of the spine structure 100; after the adjustment is completed, the locking structure 130 can be adjusted to the locking position, so that the relative position between the vertebrae 110 and the connecting piece 120 is locked and cannot be rotated, so as to lock the current posture of the spine structure 100 and ensure the stability of the physiological curvature.
[0047] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the connecting piece 120 includes a connecting seat 121 and a first connecting shaft 122 and a second connecting shaft 123 arranged on the connecting seat 121, one of the first connecting shaft 122 and the second connecting shaft 123 extends in the left-right direction, and the other extends in the front-rear direction; the adjacent two vertebrae 110 and the connecting piece 120 therebetween form a vertebral unit 100A, in the vertebral unit 100A, the vertebra 110 located at the upper side is an upper vertebra 110A, the bottom of the upper vertebra 110A is provided with a first connecting lug 111, and the first connecting lug 111 is rotationally connected to the connecting seat 121 through the first connecting shaft 122; the vertebra 110 located at the lower side is a lower vertebra 120A, and the top of the lower vertebra 120A is provided with a second connecting lug 112, and the second connecting lug 112 is rotationally connected to the connecting seat 121 through the second connecting shaft 123.

Specifically, the locking structure 130 can include a first locking part 131 provided on the upper vertebra 110A or the first connecting lug 111, and a second locking part 132 provided on the connecting seat 121 or the first connecting shaft 122, the first locking part 131 and the second locking part 132 have a locking position of connection and cooperation limiting and an unlocking position of allowing relative movement away from each other.
