Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of arm joint protection and motion auxiliary devices, and relates to a six-degree-of-freedom wearable arm joint motion auxiliary device. Background Art
[0002] With the in-depth promotion of Healthy China, more and more people pay more attention to their own health and actively participate in physical exercise. In professional physical exercise, professional fitness personnel cause arm hyperextension and damage arm joints when they perform arm stretching exercises to achieve better results; in the daily exercise of ordinary people, some exercisers hyperextend their elbows, resulting in wrist strain. Due to incorrect force methods such as shrugging shoulders and collapsing waists, the waist core is affected, resulting in the inability to correct the posture, affecting the efficiency of exercise and increasing the risk of injury. There are few designs for protecting arm joint hyperextension devices at home and abroad. Among them, the upper limb rehabilitation robot of a four-degree-of-freedom wearable upper limb exercise auxiliary device of Chongqing University can be used to prevent elbow hyperextension (CN201810587631.6). It is fixed by the shoulder and back and driven by a motor and an electric rotating rod. Although it can prevent arm hyperextension to a certain extent, compared with the utility model, its adjustment is cumbersome, inconvenient to use, complex structure, poor stability and high cost. Furthermore, most of the devices on the market to prevent arm joint hyperextension achieve the purpose of auxiliary exercise by fixing the arm, which often restricts arm movement and has low portability. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a convenient, effective, stable and low-cost arm joint motion auxiliary device. Utility Model Content
[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, a device is provided to prevent arm hyperextension and protect the arm in daily fitness and professional physical training without affecting the normal extension of the body. The utility model includes the flexion and extension of the elbow joint; the pronation and supination freedom of the forearm; and the palmar flexion, dorsiflexion, radial deviation and ulnar deviation freedom of the wrist joint. It protects the movement and ensures the flexibility of the arm.
[0004] The utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] The wearable device includes upper and lower arm fixing devices, a motion adjustment disk, an arm adaptation component, and a movable buckle; the upper and lower arm fixing devices both include an upper arm elastic fiber sleeve, an upper arm earring-shaped alloy buckle, a stabilizing block, a forearm elastic fiber sleeve, and a forearm earring-shaped alloy buckle; the motion adjustment disk includes a wire drum, a rolling bearing, a rotation-blocking shaft, and an external adjustment shaft; the arm adaptation component includes a chain-type iron matching groove, an upper arm earring-shaped alloy buckle, and a forearm earring-shaped alloy buckle; the movable buckle and the polyethylene cord provide connection; the upper arm fixing device is stretched and extended by a rope and connected to the movable buckle rope, and the movable buckle is connected to the forearm fixing device in a buckling manner; the motion adjustment disk and the upper arm fixing device are fastened and connected by bolts; the adjustment shaft and the wire drum are connected by threading; the earring-shaped opening gold buckle is directly matched with the chain-type iron matching groove.
[0006] Furthermore, the product can adjust the diameter of the upper and lower arm fixing devices to adapt to arms of different arm circumferences, thereby improving the fit between the fixing device and the arm, enhancing stability, and having strong applicability.
[0007] Furthermore, the motion adjustment disk is composed of a stabilizing block, a rolling bearing, a rotation blocking shaft, a wire drum, and an external adjustment rod. The stabilizing block is connected to the ring buckle by screws through the middle hole. The rotating shaft is a double-layer design to support and wrap the polyethylene string. The bearing enables the rotating shaft to rotate normally to prevent jamming, making it easier and faster to retract and release the rope.
[0008] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is connected to the motion adjustment disk and the external adjustment rod in sequence, and the three adjust the line length together. When the line length reaches the required length of the movement, the external adjustment rod is inserted into the motion adjustment disk to prevent the rotating disk from rotating, so that the length is effectively fixed.
[0009] The principle and effect of the utility model are:
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the utility model breaks the restriction of assisting movement by fixing joints. The arm joint movement auxiliary device is installed on the upper and lower arms accordingly, and the diameter of the arm adaptation component is adjusted to adapt to users with different arm circumferences. The adjustment shaft is rotated to adjust the line length to adapt to arms with different flexion and extension lengths. The rope is stretched to the required length. Thus, the arm is extended. Due to the limitation of the rope length, the upper limit of the rotation angle is 180°, which protects the arm joint and the corresponding muscles during exercise. The arm is bent, the rope is relaxed, and the arm can be bent and moved freely without being restricted by the rope. The utility model protects the arm joint by pulling the rope, and a winding device is composed of a plurality of components. It can reduce the burden caused by the overly complicated protective device without hindering normal movement. In addition, the utility model is easy to wear and carry, has a low cost, and is suitable for popularization and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
