[0027] Furthermore, through the setting of the strap 6, it is convenient to fix the upper limb of the user to maintain the stability of the user during the rehabilitation training.
[0028] Specifically, a fixing rod 7 is fixedly installed on the left side of the pneumatic mechanical structure 3, a connecting plate 8 is fixedly installed on the back of the fixing rod 7, a fastener 9 is fixedly installed on the back of the connecting plate 8, and an electric lifting rod 10 is fixedly installed inside the fastener 9.
[0029] Furthermore, through the setting of the electric lifting rod 10, it is convenient to adjust the height of the pneumatic mechanical structure 3 to adapt to users of different heights, improve the flexibility of the robot, and provide better user-friendly services.
[0030] Specifically, a support plate 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the electric lifting rod 10, a second linear motor 12 is fixedly installed at the top of the support plate 11, a second slide rail 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the second linear motor 12, first slide rails 14 are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the base 1, two first linear motors 15 are fixedly installed on the outside of the first slide rails 14, a mounting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the outside of the two first linear motors 15, and moving wheels 19 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the base 1.
