The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0026] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a self-locking joint comprises a cylinder body 1, a rotating shaft 2, an oil pressure piece 3, a swing arm 4 and an elastic piece 5. An oil chamber a and an oil passage 11 are respectively provided in the cylinder body 1. A needle hole 12 connected to the oil passage 11 is opened on the upper end wall of the cylinder body 1. The rotating shaft 2 passes through the cylinder body 1 and is rotatably connected to the cylinder body 1. The oil pressure piece 3 is slidably connected in the oil chamber a and is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft 2. The oil pressure piece 3 divides the oil chamber a into a front chamber b and a rear chamber c. One end of the oil passage 11 is connected to the front chamber b, and the other end of the oil passage 11 is connected to the rear chamber c. The front end of the swing arm 4 is hinged to the upper end of the cylinder body 1, and the rear end of the swing arm 4 is hinged with an oil needle 6, and the tip of the oil needle 6 is slidably connected in the needle hole 12. The elastic piece 5 is arranged on the oil cylinder. The elastic piece 5 is used to prevent the swing arm 4 from swinging down, and the elastic resistance of the elastic piece 5 to the swing arm 4 is D.

[0029] In this embodiment, the self-locking joint can be installed at the lower end of the user's thigh in conjunction with a corresponding prosthesis. D can be equal to the force applied to the swing arm 4 when the user walks or runs upright. Therefore, when the user walks or runs normally, the elastic member 5 can prevent the swing arm 4 from swinging downward relative to the cylinder body 1, preventing the oil needle 6 from blocking the oil passage 11. The swing arm 4 can rotate relative to the cylinder body 1 and the rotating shaft 2. The rotating shaft 2 can drive the oil pressure member 3 to slide adaptively in the oil chamber a, and the oil in the front chamber b is pressed into the rear chamber c or the oil in the front chamber c is pressed into the rear chamber c through the oil passage 11. The oil in the rear chamber c is pressed into the front chamber b, thereby simulating the movement of the knee joint. When the user bends his knees or bears weight, the force acting on the swing arm 4 will exceed D due to the increase in the lever arm or weight. At this time, the swing arm 4 will overcome the resistance of the elastic part 5 and swing down, and drive the oil needle 6 to slide down to block the oil channel 11. The oil will limit the sliding of the oil pressure part 3, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and the cylinder body 1 through the oil pressure part 3, realizing the true load-bearing self-locking of the joint, and achieving the purpose of limiting the movement of the joint so that the joint can stably support the user.

[0030] Furthermore, the elastic member 5 includes a spring 51, a slider 52 and a connecting rod 53. A spring-pressing chamber 13 is provided at the lower end of the cylinder body 1.

One end of the connecting rod 53 is hinged to the elastic arm 41, and the other end of the connecting rod 53 is hinged to the slider 52 through the guide opening 14.

[0031] Specifically, when the swing arm 4 is under pressure, the swing arm 4 has a tendency to swing downward, and the elastic arm 41 will pull the slider 52 through the connecting rod 53, applying a force to the slider 52 to slide toward the bottom of the spring-pressing chamber 13. At this time, the slider 52 will squeeze the spring 51. When the force applied to the swing arm 4 is less than or equal to D, the elastic force of the spring 51 will support the swing arm 4 to prevent the swing arm 4 from swinging downward relative to the cylinder body 1. When the force applied to the swing arm 4 is greater than D, the swing arm 4 will swing downward relative to the cylinder body 1, and the elastic arm 41 will drive the slider 52 to slide toward the bottom of the spring-pressing chamber 13 through the connecting rod 53, and use the slider 52 to compress the spring 51.

[0032] Furthermore, a lower through shaft 54 ​​is sleeved on the slider 52, and one end of the lower through shaft 54 ​​passes through the guide opening 14 and is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod 53. In the present embodiment, two guide openings 14, two elastic arms 41 and two connecting rods 53 are each provided, and the two guide openings 14 are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls on both sides of the elastic pressure cavity 13. The two ends of the lower through shaft 54 ​​respectively pass through the corresponding guide openings 14 to the outside, and the elastic arms 41 and the connecting rod 53 are arranged one by one corresponding to the ends of the lower through shaft 54.

[0033] Furthermore, the self-locking joint also includes an adjusting knob 55, the bottom end of the spring cavity 13 is through-connected, the adjusting knob 55 is screwed into the bottom end of the spring cavity 13, and the bottom end of the spring 51 abuts against the adjusting knob 55. The user can rotate the adjusting knob 55 so that the tip of the adjusting knob 55 squeezes the spring 51 or relaxes the squeezing of the spring 51, thereby adjusting the elastic force of the spring 51 on the slider 52 and changing the elastic resistance of the spring 51 to the swing arm 4, so that the self-locking joint can adapt to users of different weights.

[0034] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the cylinder body 1 via a bearing to improve the smoothness of the relative rotation between the cylinder body 1 and the rotating shaft 2, thereby improving the flexibility of the joint.

[0035] Furthermore, an upper through shaft 61 is sleeved on the end of the oil needle 6, and a waist-shaped hole 42 is provided at the rear end of the swing arm 4. The end of the upper through shaft 61 is inserted into the waist-shaped hole 42. When the swing arm 4 swings relative to the cylinder body 1, the upper through shaft 61 can slide adaptively along the long axis direction of the waist-shaped hole 42 to avoid interference between the swing arm 4 and the oil needle 6, thereby ensuring that the oil needle 6 slides normally in the needle hole 12.

The partition 15, the rotating shaft 2 and the oil pressure piece 3 divide the oil chamber a into a front chamber b and a rear chamber b. Chamber c. Under normal circumstances, the front chamber b and the rear chamber c are interconnected through the oil passage 11. The oil pressure piece 3 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2 and the cylinder body 1, and the oil in the front chamber b is pressed into the rear chamber c or the oil in the rear chamber c is pressed into the front chamber b. When the swing arm 4 overcomes the resistance of the spring 51 and swings down relative to the cylinder body 1, the oil needle 6 will slide down along the needle hole 12 synchronously and block the oil passage 11. At this time, the oil in the front chamber b and the rear chamber c are not connected to each other, and the oil will limit the rotation and sliding of the oil pressure piece 3 in the oil chamber a, thereby limiting the relative rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and the cylinder body 1 through the oil pressure piece 3, and realizing the load-bearing self-locking of the joint.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, further, the axis of the oil chamber a is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 2, the oil pressure member 3 is a plunger, the plunger is slidably connected in the oil chamber a, and the oil chamber a is divided into a front chamber b and a rear chamber c, the rotating shaft 2 is partially located in the oil chamber a, and a gear 21 is coaxially provided on the portion of the rotating shaft 2 located in the oil chamber a, and a tooth groove 32 is provided on the side wall of the plunger along the length direction, and the tooth groove 32 is meshed with the gear 21. Under normal conditions, the front chamber b and the rear chamber c are interconnected through the oil passage 11, and the cylinder body 1 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2, thereby 1 drives the plunger to slide along the oil chamber a, and presses the oil in the front chamber b into the rear chamber c or presses the oil in the rear chamber c into the front chamber b. When the swing arm 4 overcomes the resistance of the spring 51 and swings down relative to the cylinder body 1, the oil needle 6 will slide down along the needle hole 12 synchronously and block the oil channel 11. At this time, the oil in the front chamber b and the rear chamber c are not connected to each other, and the oil will prevent the plunger from sliding in the oil chamber a. Since the tooth groove 32 of the plunger is engaged with the gear 21 of the rotating shaft 2, the plunger will limit the relative rotation of the rotating shaft 2 and the cylinder body 1, thereby realizing the load-bearing self-locking of the joint.

[0040] Furthermore, the self-locking joint also includes a cylinder plug 16, one end of the oil chamber a is passed through, and the cylinder plug 16 seals the through end of the oil chamber a so that the plunger can be installed into the oil chamber a through the opening of the oil chamber a.
