Specific embodiments

[0022] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0023] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present utility model. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an individual or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0025] Embodiment 1

[0026] Referring to Figure 1-2 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an end effector of an upper limb rehabilitation robot, including

[0027] A wrapping component 100, which includes an airbag tube 101. A hose 102 is connected and installed on the side of the airbag tube 101. A stabilizing component 200 is disposed on the outer surface of the airbag tube 101 in a matching manner, and a soothing component 300 is disposed in the inner cavity of the airbag tube 101 in a matching manner;

[0028] The soothing component 300 includes a bent plate 301 that abuts against the inner wall surface of the airbag tube 101. A straight rod 302 is fixedly connected to the end face of the bent plate 301. An upright column 303 is fixedly connected to the side of the bent plate 301. A support frame 307 is fixedly connected to the end face of the stabilizing component 200. A bottom plate 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame 307. An intermediate shaft 305 is fixedly connected to the end face of the bottom plate 306. A transmission disc 304 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the intermediate shaft 305.

[0029] Specifically, the connection between the airbag tube 101 and the hose 102 enables the airbag tube 101 to be inflated, thereby helping the execution device of the rehabilitation robot to have a higher degree of adaptation to the patient. The cooperation between the bent plate 301, the straight rod 302, and the column 303 can help the bent plate 301 to stabilize its position, thereby providing a support and limiting effect for the airbag tube 101. At the same time, it can also prevent the airbag tube 101 from over-inflating and causing danger. The fixed connection between the support frame 307 and the bottom plate 306 further stabilizes the support of the bottom plate 306. The rotational connection between the intermediate shaft 305 and the transmission disc 304 makes the transmission disc 304 more stable and firm, avoiding its own vibration.

[0030] Further, the teeth of the transmission disc 304 are meshed with a gear 308. The center of the surface of the gear 308 is fixedly connected with a connecting shaft 309. The end face of the connecting shaft 309 is rotationally connected to the side face of the bottom plate 306. The outer wall of the column 303 is slidably connected to the surface of the transmission disc 304.

[0031] Preferably, the fixed connection between the gear 308 and the connecting shaft 309 makes the rotational friction loss between the gear 308 and the connecting shaft 309 quite small, further ensuring the stability of the torque. And the rotational connection between the connecting shaft 309 and the bottom plate 306 further ensures that the gear 308 can rotate stably. The sliding connection between the column 303 and the transmission disc 304 can drive the bent plate 301 to continuously support the airbag tube 101, making the overall device better adapted to the patient's arm.

[0032] During use, first, the stabilizing assembly 200 is sleeved and connected to the outside of the airbag tube 101. Then, the support frame 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 306, and the support frame 307 is fixed to the stabilizing assembly 200. Further, the intermediate shaft 305 is fixedly assembled at the center of the surface of the bottom plate 306, and the transmission disc 304 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the intermediate shaft 305 for supporting the transmission disc 304.

[0033] Embodiment 2

[0034] Refer to Figure 2-3 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides relevant components for the stable support effect of the airbag tube.

[0035] Specifically, the center of the transmission disc 304 coincides with the center of the airbag tube 101, and a hoop 310 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the airbag tube 101. The number of the hoops 310 is several, and several hoops 310 are arranged equidistantly on the outside of the airbag tube 101.

[0036] Further, the equidistant arrangement of several hoops 310 makes the airbag tube 101 safer when inflated, avoiding safety problems caused by over-inflation.

[0037] Moreover, a flange 201 is movably connected to the surface of the airbag tube 101. The stabilizing assembly 200 where the flange 201 is located further includes a snap ring 202, and the inner side of the snap ring 202 is fixedly connected to the side edge of the airbag tube 101.

[0038] Among them, the movable connection between the flange 201 and the airbag tube 101 enables the airbag tube 101 to be stably connected to other rehabilitation components. At the same time, the snap ring 202 is fixed to the edge of the airbag tube 101. By restricting the expansion of the edge of the airbag tube 101, the nervousness of the patient can be relieved, which is beneficial to increasing the market share of the product.

[0039] During use, several hoop rings 310 are first arranged on the outer side of the airbag tube 101, and then the flange 201 is assembled on the outer surface of the airbag tube 101, and the snap ring 202 is installed on the side edge of the airbag tube 101 for the combined connection of the airbag tube 101 with other devices and for fixing the edge of the airbag tube 101.

[0040] Embodiment 3

[0041] Refer to Figure 2-4 For the third embodiment of the utility model, different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides related components for the stable sealing effect of the airbag tube.

[0042] Specifically, the airbag tube 101 is a latex tube with good ductility, and the bottom plate 306 is provided with a plurality of through grooves which are slidably adapted to the straight rods 302. The number of snap rings 202 is two groups, and a docking member 203 is fixedly connected between the two groups of snap rings 202. The docking member 203 is a connecting member spliced together.

[0043] Furthermore, the plurality of through grooves provided on the bottom plate 306 enable the straight rods 302 to slide simultaneously. The cooperation between the docking member 203 and the snap ring 202 further ensures better sealing and fixing of the edge of the airbag tube 101, and avoids air leakage of the airbag tube 101 from affecting the rehabilitation effect.

[0044] Preferably, the snap ring 202 is a rubber ring with large elasticity, and the center of the snap ring 202 coincides with the center of the airbag tube 101.

[0045] During use, first, the straight rods 302 are slidably adapted to the through grooves provided on the bottom plate 306, and then the docking member 203 is fixedly installed between the snap rings 202 to enhance the sealing and fixing effect of the snap rings 202.
