Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of assistive movement technology, and in particular to a multi-degree-of-freedom waist movement assistive device. Background Technology

[0002] The waist, as the core hub of the human torso, bears the important functions of supporting the weight of the upper body, transmitting kinetic energy, and enabling multi-dimensional complex movements such as flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. In rehabilitation training, occupational safety, or assistive settings for the elderly, there is an urgent need for a waist movement assistive device that can actively provide assistance and precisely match the kinematic characteristics of the human body.

[0003] Currently, passive assistive devices can only provide limited support or guidance, and cannot actively output driving force. Users still need to rely on their own muscles to complete most movements, which is difficult to meet the needs of people with severe muscle weakness or those recovering from surgery. While existing active lumbar assistive devices have introduced driving components such as motors or push rods, most active mechanisms use single-degree-of-freedom hinges or fixed-size designs, which cannot simultaneously achieve coordinated assistance for multi-dimensional movements such as forward and backward flexion and extension, left and right lateral bending, and horizontal rotation. This leads to a mismatch between human and machine movement, easily causing movement interference or additional constraints, and limiting the user's natural movement. Secondly, to ensure structural strength, existing devices generally use fully rigid connections. Although they have a certain support capacity, they are difficult to conform to the physiological curves of the waist of users of different body types. Wearing them for a long time can easily cause local pressure, obstructed blood circulation, poor comfort, and low user compliance. Conversely, if a purely flexible structure is used, it cannot effectively transmit assistance due to insufficient rigidity, leading to support failure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to at least solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assist device, which can realize a multi-degree-of-freedom independent, decoupled, and actively driven lumbar movement assist mechanism, ensuring sufficient support rigidity while taking into account wearing comfort.

[0005] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device includes a frame, an auxiliary mechanism, a rotation drive mechanism, a lateral flexion drive mechanism, and an anterior-posterior flexion-extension drive mechanism. A connecting frame is provided on the frame, and the rotation drive mechanism is disposed on the connecting frame. The output end of the rotation drive mechanism is connected to a spinal chassis.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a multi-degree-of-freedom waist movement assist device.

[0027] A multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device includes a frame 1, an auxiliary mechanism 2, a rotation drive mechanism 3, a lateral flexion drive mechanism 4, and a forward and backward flexion-extension drive mechanism 5. A connecting frame 6 is provided on the frame 1, and the rotation drive mechanism 3 is mounted on the connecting frame 6. The output end of the rotation drive mechanism 3 is connected to a spinal chassis 7. The auxiliary mechanism 2 includes a spinal chassis 7, a spinal base joint 8, a spinal mid-joint 9, a spinal top joint 10, and a back fixation component 12. The spinal base joint 8 is mounted on the spinal chassis 7. The spinal base joint 8, the spinal mid-joint 9, and the spinal top joint 10 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, with adjacent joints... The two structures are elastically connected. The rear end of the middle joint 9 of the spine is provided with a first force plate 13, and the rear end of the first force plate 13 is provided with a connecting plate 14. The forward and backward flexion and extension drive mechanism 5 is provided on the connecting plate 14. The output end of the forward and backward flexion and extension mechanism 5 is connected to the auxiliary mechanism 2. The front end of the bottom joint 8 of the spine and the front end of the top joint 10 of the spine are both provided with the back fixation component 12. The lateral flexion drive mechanism 4 includes two first electric push rods 15. The upper and lower ends of the first electric push rods 15 are respectively connected to the two back fixation components 12. The two first electric push rods 15 are respectively located at the two ends of the back fixation component 12.

[0028] This invention features an independent rotation drive mechanism 3, a lateral flexion drive mechanism 4, and a forward and backward flexion drive mechanism 5. The spinal base joint 8, spinal mid-joint 9, and spinal top joint 10 are elastically connected, forming a rigid-flexible coupling structure. The multi-degree-of-freedom drive mechanism, combined with the rigid-flexible coupling joint connection, enables the lumbar support mechanism to perform horizontal rotation, left and right lateral bending, and forward and backward flexion movements. This effectively avoids the human-machine mismatch problem caused by motion coupling in traditional devices, significantly improving the naturalness of movement and human-machine coordination. While ensuring overall longitudinal support rigidity, it better conforms to the lumbar physiological curves of different users, dispersing local pressure, reducing pressure, and improving comfort and user compliance during long-term wear. The frame 1 integrates the connecting frame 6 and the drive mechanism, resulting in a compact overall layout, lightweight design, suitability for various scenarios, no need for fixed installation, and excellent portability and practicality.

[0029] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The forward and backward flexion-extension drive mechanism 11 includes a second electric push rod 16 and a third electric push rod 17. One end of the second electric push rod 16 is hinged to the spinal chassis 7, and the other end is connected to the connecting plate 14. One end of the third electric push rod 17 is hinged to the connecting plate 14, and the other end is connected to the spinal apex joint 10. Specifically, by setting the second electric push rod 16 to connect the spinal chassis 7 and the connecting plate 14, and the third electric push rod 17 to connect the connecting plate 14 and the spinal apex joint 10, a vertically distributed double push rod drive layout is formed, constituting a stable triangular mechanical support structure. This not only increases the assist lever arm and improves the output torque of the pitching motion, but also enhances the structural stability during forward and backward flexion-extension, effectively suppressing swaying and achieving a wide range and high precision posture adjustment.

[0030] The multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device described in this embodiment includes several spinal joints 18 arranged between the base joint 8 and the middle joint 9, and between the middle joint 9 and the top joint 10. Specifically, the addition of several spinal joints 18 between the base joint 8 and the middle joint 9, and between the middle joint 9 and the top joint 10, increases the number of joints in the lumbar support chain, enabling the entire assistive mechanism to more precisely simulate the continuous bending characteristics of the human lumbar spine, improving movement flexibility and trajectory fitting, and further enhancing its adaptability to complex flexion and extension movements.

[0031] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. Positioning grooves 19 are provided at the upper end of the spinal base joint 8, the upper and lower ends of the spinal middle joint 9, the upper and lower ends of the spinal joint 18, and the lower end of the spinal top joint 10. A spring 20 is provided between every two opposing positioning grooves 19, and adjacent joints are elastically connected by the springs 20. Specifically, by providing positioning grooves 19 and embedding springs 20 on the end faces of adjacent joints for elastic connection, not only is the stability and reset capability of the relative movement between joints ensured, but the back flexion and extension movements are also made smoother and gentler, avoiding abrupt impacts and enhancing safety and comfort.

[0032] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The frame 1 is equipped with a height adjustment mechanism 21. The connecting frame 6 is connected to the output end of the height adjustment mechanism 21. The height adjustment mechanism 21 includes a drive motor (not shown), a screw 23, and a first slider 24. The drive motor is mounted on the frame 1, the screw 23 is located at the output end of the drive motor, and the first slider 24 is screwed to the screw 23. The front end of the first slider 24 is connected to the connecting frame 6. Specifically, the height adjustment mechanism 21, composed of the drive motor, screw 23, and first slider 24, on the frame 1 can drive the connecting frame 6 and the entire assistive mechanism to rise and fall vertically. This allows for flexible adjustment of the lumbar support position according to the user's height, ensuring that the assist line is aligned with the center of the lumbar spine, expanding the applicable population range of the device, and improving assist efficiency and safety.

[0033] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom waist movement assist device. Two circular guide rails 25 are vertically arranged on the frame 1, with the two guide rails 25 positioned on both sides of the screw 23. Second sliders 26 are located at both ends of the rear side of the connecting frame 6, and the two second sliders 26 are slidably connected to the two circular guide rails 25 respectively. Specifically, two circular guide rails 25 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the screw 23, and the connecting frame 6 is slidably connected to the circular guide rails 25 via the second sliders 26. This provides high-rigidity guidance for the height adjustment process, effectively preventing the connecting frame 6 from swaying or jamming during lifting, ensuring smooth and precise overall movement, and improving structural reliability and service life.

[0034] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The rotary drive mechanism 3 includes a rotary motor 27 and a rotary housing 28. The rotary motor 27 is disposed within the rotary housing 28, and its output end is connected to the spinal chassis 7. A first bearing 29 is disposed on the top of the rotary housing 28, and the spinal chassis 7 is connected to the inner ring of the first bearing 29. The rotary housing 28 is connected to the outer side of the spinal chassis 7. Specifically, the rotary drive mechanism 3 uses a rotary motor 27 built into the rotary housing 28, and connects the spinal chassis 7 to the housing through the first bearing 29. This allows the spinal chassis 7 to rotate smoothly around a vertical axis under the drive of the motor. At the same time, the bearing structure isolates the friction between the rotating components and the stationary components, reducing energy consumption, improving rotational response accuracy, and ensuring that the left and right rotational movements do not interfere with other degrees of freedom.

[0035] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The flexion-extension drive mechanism 5 includes a second electric push rod 16 and a third electric push rod 17. One end of the second electric push rod 16 is hinged to the spinal chassis 7, and the other end is connected to the connecting plate 14. One end of the third electric push rod 17 is hinged to the connecting plate 14, and the other end is connected to the spinal apex joint 10. Specifically, this forms a two-stage linkage push rod system, which, compared to a single push rod structure, can achieve a wider range of flexion and extension movements, and has a more reasonable force transmission path and more even force distribution.

[0036] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. A second force plate 30 is provided at the rear end of the spinal apex joint 10. The other end of the third electric push rod 17 is connected to the second force plate 30. The first force plate 13 and the second force plate 30 are arranged vertically, and the connecting plate 14 is arranged horizontally. A second bearing 31 is provided on both the first force plate 13 and the second force plate 30. The spinal mid-joint 9 and the spinal apex joint 10 are respectively connected to the inner rings of the two second bearings 31, and the first force plate 13 and the second force plate 30 are respectively connected to the outer rings of the two second bearings 31. Specifically, by adding a second force plate 30 at the rear end of the spinal apex joint 10, and arranging the first force plate 13 and the second force plate 30 vertically and the connecting plate 14 horizontally, the force transmission path is optimized, enabling the pushing and pulling actions of the two electric push rods to be efficiently converted into forward and backward extension movements of the spinal structure, improving driving efficiency and action response accuracy.

[0037] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The bottom of each of the first electric push rods 15 is provided with a first spherical sub-assembly 32, which is connected to the back fixation assembly 12 located at the bottom. The output end of the first electric push rod 15 is provided with a second spherical sub-assembly 33, which is connected to the back fixation assembly 12 located at the top. Specifically, both ends of the first electric push rod 15 are connected to the upper and lower back fixation assemblies 12 via the first spherical sub-assembly 32 and the second spherical sub-assembly 33, respectively. The spherical sub-assemblies allow the push rod to automatically adjust its angle during lateral bending, adapting to changes in the spatial posture of the back fixation assembly 12, avoiding stress concentration or movement jamming caused by rigid connections, ensuring smooth and natural lateral bending movements, and improving the reliability and comfort of the lateral bending drive.

[0038] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The back fixation component 12 includes a backrest plate 34 and straps 35. Each of the front ends of the backrest plate 34 has connecting buckles 36 on both sides. The straps 35 are connected to the connecting buckles 36. The two backrest plates 34 are respectively connected to the front ends of the base of the spine joint 8 and the top of the spine joint 10. The backrest plate 34 has an arc-shaped contour that matches the physiological curve of the human back. Specifically, two backrest plates 34 with straps 35 are respectively connected to the front ends of the base of the spine joint 8 and the top of the spine joint 10, forming a two-point fixation structure. This securely and comfortably binds the user's back to the device, preventing slippage or misalignment during movement and improving the stability and effectiveness of the assisted movement. Specifically, the two straps 35 are respectively tied under the armpits and waist, or to the shoulders and waist.

[0039] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom lumbar movement assistive device. The flexion-extension drive mechanism 5 includes two second electric push rods 16 and two third electric push rods 17. One end of each of the two second electric push rods 16 is hinged to the top left and right sides of the spinal chassis 7, and the other end is hinged to the bottom left and right sides of the connecting plate 14. One end of each of the two third electric push rods 17 is hinged to the top left and right sides of the connecting plate 14, and the other end is hinged to the top left and right sides of the spinal apex joint 10. Specifically, the use of symmetrically arranged double second electric push rods 16 and double third electric push rods 17 forms a dual-sided synchronous drive structure, which not only improves the balance of driving force and the torsional stiffness of the structure, but also effectively prevents deviation or jamming caused by unilateral force during movement, ensuring smooth, symmetrical, and reliable flexion-extension movements.

[0040] This embodiment describes a multi-degree-of-freedom waist movement assistive device. The lower end of the frame 1 is provided with a crossbar 37, and two leg straps 38 are mounted on the crossbar 37. The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with multiple casters 39. Specifically, the leg straps 38 can secure the user, ensuring smooth movement, while the casters 39 allow for flexible use without the need for additional securing.
