Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a multi-sensor fusion calibration device for a medical lower limb ergometer. Background Art

[0002] In the field of medical rehabilitation, medical lower limb ergometers, as important rehabilitation training devices, are widely used in the rehabilitation treatment of patients with limited mobility or lower limb function. These devices help patients gradually recover muscle strength and motor coordination by simulating walking or other leg movements. However, traditional lower limb ergometers have certain limitations in design and function, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of modern rehabilitation medicine for high precision, real-time feedback, and personalized settings.

[0003] Specifically, traditional lower limb ergometers mostly adopt simple mechanical structures and limited sensing technologies, such as potentiometers, to measure joint angles and monitor motion states. These systems often lack an accurate initial position calibration mechanism, resulting in unstable and unreliable measurement data during dynamic movements. At the same time, due to the lack of integration of advanced sensing technologies, such as optoelectronic sensors and Hall sensors, traditional systems perform poorly in high-precision measurement and real-time feedback, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of complex rehabilitation scenarios.

[0004] In addition, the control systems of most existing lower limb ergometers are designed relatively simply and usually can only achieve basic functions such as starting, stopping, and speed adjustment. They lack a mechanism to dynamically adjust operation parameters according to real-time data. This simple design limits the effectiveness and safety of the device under various operating conditions and cannot meet the requirements of personalized rehabilitation programs. For example, in the face of the specific rehabilitation needs of different patients, traditional systems often cannot provide customized training parameters and feedback, affecting the pertinence and effectiveness of rehabilitation training.

[0005] In summary, existing medical lower limb ergometers have many deficiencies in technical performance, measurement accuracy, real-time feedback, and personalized settings. There is an urgent need for an innovative technical solution to overcome these limitations and improve the overall performance of rehabilitation devices and the patient experience. Therefore, the utility model proposes a multi-sensor fusion and dynamic calibration control system for a medical lower limb ergometer, aiming to achieve precise monitoring and real-time feedback of the motion state of the lower limb ergometer by integrating multiple sensor technologies and an advanced dynamic calibration mechanism, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of rehabilitation training.

[0015] The data feedback module feeds back the real-time motion state data to the user and the rehabilitation therapist through a display screen or other feedback devices (such as indicator lights, buzzers, etc.), facilitating training adjustment and monitoring.

[0016] The utility model further includes an automatic calibration mechanism. The main control unit is built-in with an automatic calibration module, which automatically adjusts the calibration parameters according to the real-time changes of the sensor data to ensure that the device always operates in the optimal state.

[0018] The main control unit precisely controls the motor drive module through a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal to achieve precise speed and direction control of the motor. According to the real-time feedback of the motion state data, the operating parameters of the motor are dynamically adjusted to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of the rehabilitation training.

[0019] This system is equipped with a friendly user interface for displaying real-time motion state data, receiving user input, and adjusting training parameters. The interface design is intuitive and easy to use, facilitating personalized settings and adjustments by the user and the rehabilitation therapist according to the actual situation, and enhancing the effect of the rehabilitation training and the user experience.
