[0079] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0080] It should be clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0081] The terminology used in the embodiments of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application.

[0082] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used herein only describes an association relationship of associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, the character " / " herein generally represents an "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.
[0083] The joint rehabilitation device provided by the present application includes three embodiments, and the subsequent content of the present application will introduce the joint rehabilitation devices of the three embodiments in turn.
[0084] The joint rehabilitation device of the first embodiment:
[0085] The joint rehabilitation device of the embodiment of the present application is used to assist the rehabilitation person (limb joint disease patient) to carry out limb joint rehabilitation training, such as limb joint activity, limb joint static training, etc. The limb joint can be the hip joint between the hip and the thigh, the knee joint between the thigh and the lower leg, the ankle joint between the lower leg and the foot, the shoulder joint between the shoulder and the upper arm, the elbow joint between the upper arm and the lower arm, and the wrist joint between the lower arm and the hand. The subsequent content of the embodiment of the present application mainly takes the knee joint between the thigh and the lower leg as an example to describe the joint rehabilitation device provided by the present application.
[0086] Please refer to Figure 1 The joint rehabilitation device 10 includes a first brace 1, a second brace 2 and a first connecting assembly 3.
[0087] The first brace 1 is used to be sleeved on the first limb (such as the thigh, not shown in the figure) of the rehabilitation person, and the second brace 2 is used to be sleeved on the second limb (such as the lower leg, not shown in the figure) connected with the first limb of the rehabilitation person. Alternatively, the first brace 1 is used to be sleeved on the second limb of the rehabilitation person, and the second brace 2 is used to be sleeved on the first limb of the rehabilitation person. The subsequent content of the embodiment of the present application mainly takes "the first brace 1 can be sleeved on the thigh, and the second brace 2 can be sleeved on the lower leg" as an example to describe the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the present application.
[0088] Among them, please refer to Figure 2As shown, the first brace 1 can include a first body 11 and a first strap 12, the first body 11 has a C-shaped curved sheet structure, and the first strap 12 can connect two free parts of the first body 11. In the case that the first strap 12 only connects one of the two free parts, the rehabilitant or the person assisting the rehabilitation can bend the first body 11 to increase the opening size of the first body 11, so as to fit the first body 11 on the thigh of the rehabilitant, and then the rehabilitant or the person assisting the rehabilitation can connect the first strap 12 to the two free parts of the first body 11, so as to stably fit the first body 11 on the thigh of the rehabilitant. The first strap 12 can be a nylon strap, a buckle strap or other connecting band that can have a binding function.
[0089] Similarly, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the second brace 2 can include a second body 21 and a second strap 22, the second body 21 has a C-shaped curved sheet structure, and the second strap 22 can connect two free parts of the second body 21. In the case that the second strap 22 only connects one of the two free parts, the rehabilitant or the person assisting the rehabilitation can bend the second body 21 to increase the opening size of the second body 21, so as to fit the second body 21 on the calf of the rehabilitant, and then the rehabilitant or the person assisting the rehabilitation can connect the second strap 22 to the two free parts of the second body 21, so as to stably fit the second body 21 on the calf of the rehabilitant. The second strap 22 can be a nylon strap, a buckle strap or other connecting band that can have a binding function.
[0090] In addition, the first body 11 and the second body 21 can be provided with a plurality of hollow holes (not shown in the figure), which can play the roles of air permeability and weight reduction.
[0091] Similarly, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting assembly 3 includes a mounting piece 31, a first connecting piece 32, a second connecting piece 33 and a driving piece 34. The first connecting piece 32, the second connecting piece 33 and the driving piece 34 are movably connected with the mounting piece 31, the first connecting piece 32 can be detachably connected with the first brace 1, and the second connecting piece 33 can be detachably connected with the second brace 2.
[0092] Among them, the first connecting piece 32 and the mounting piece 31 can be connected through a revolute pair or a spherical pair, the second connecting piece 33 and the mounting piece 31 can be connected through a revolute pair or a spherical pair, and the driving piece 34 and the mounting piece 31 can be connected through a revolute pair, a spherical pair or a moving pair.
[0093] For example, the driving member 34 can have a first state and a second state. In the first state, the driving member 34 can drive the first connecting member 32 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1 and drive the second connecting member 33 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O2. Correspondingly, the first brace 1 connected with the first connecting member 32 also rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1, and the second brace 2 connected with the second connecting member 33 also rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O2. Correspondingly, the thigh covered by the first brace 1 also rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1, and the calf covered by the second brace 2 also rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O2, so that the knee joint between the thigh and the calf can perform the required activities for rehabilitation training.
[0094] The axis O1 is defined as the rotation axis of the rotation connection structure between the mounting member 31 and the first connecting member 32, and the axis O2 is defined as the rotation axis of the rotation connection structure between the mounting member 31 and the second connecting member 33.
[0095] In the second state, the driving member 34, the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33 can be self-locked. Self-locking is defined as follows: under the condition that the driving member 34 does not output driving force to the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33, even if the thigh applies a force to the first connecting member 32 and the calf applies a force to the second connecting member 33 to make the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33 apply a force to the driving member 34, the driving member 34, the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33 are all stationary relative to the mounting member 31, the first connecting member 32 does not rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1, the second connecting member 33 does not rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O2, and correspondingly, the thigh and the calf do not move relative to each other. That is, when the driving member 34 is in the second state, the leg of the rehabilitation patient cannot move freely on its own, so that the leg of the rehabilitation patient maintains a set posture within a set time to perform the required static items for rehabilitation training.
[0096] In detail, if the calf is bent relative to the thigh at this time, for example, the included angle between the calf and the thigh is 80°-100°, the driving member 34 of the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the application can be in the first state to drive the calf to move relative to the thigh to increase the included angle between the calf and the thigh, so that the knee joint changes from the bent state to the stretched state. After the knee joint is stretched, the driving member 34 of the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the application can be in the second state to make the knee joint maintain the stretched state within a set time, so as to achieve the effect of traction training of the knee joint.
[0097] If the calf is stretched relative to the thigh at this time, for example, the angle between the calf and the thigh is 145°-180°, the driving member 34 of the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the application can be in the first state to drive the calf to move relative to the thigh to reduce the angle between the calf and the thigh, so as to make the knee joint change from the stretched state to the bent state. After the knee joint is bent, the driving member 34 of the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the application can be in the second state to make the knee joint keep in the bent state for a set time, so as to achieve the effect of bending training the knee joint.
[0098] The driving member 34 can be a manual driving member, or the driving member 34 can be an electric driving member.
[0099] In addition, the driving member 34 can first drive the first connecting member 32, and the first connecting member 32 drives the second connecting member 33, or the driving member 34 can first drive the second connecting member 33, and the second connecting member 33 drives the first connecting member 32, or the driving member 34 can simultaneously drive the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33.
[0100] Further, the driving member 34 is directly connected to at least one of the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33 through a transmission structure with self-locking function, for example, at least one of a worm-gear transmission structure, a screw-sliding block structure and an electric telescopic structure. Taking the worm-gear transmission structure as an example, the driving member 34 can include a worm, and the first connecting member 32 includes a worm gear, so that the driving member 34 and the first connecting member 32 are directly transmission connected, the structure is relatively simplified, and the structure weight is relatively small. When the joint rehabilitation device of the first embodiment is used, the weight bearing degree of the rehabilitation person is relatively small, and the use experience of the rehabilitation person is relatively good.
[0101] Optionally, the driving member 34 includes a worm 341 as shown in Figure 4 The first connecting member 32 includes a first worm gear 321 as shown in Figure 4 The worm 341 and the first worm gear 321 are rotationally connected with the mounting member 31, and the worm 341 and the first worm gear 321 are meshingly connected.
[0102] The axis O3 of the worm 341 is perpendicular to the axis O1 of the first worm wheel 321, and the connecting structure of the worm 341 and the first worm wheel 321 is a worm and gear connecting structure. When the worm 341 rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O3, the worm 341 drives the first worm wheel 321 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1, so as to drive the first connecting member 32 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1. The worm and gear connecting structure has the effect of increasing torque, and the torque of the first worm wheel 321 can be greater than the torque of the worm 341, that is, the driving force that can be output by the first worm wheel 321 is relatively large, so that the thigh and the lower leg can be reliably driven to move relative to each other. In another aspect, the worm and gear connecting structure has the effect of saving effort, that is, the force used to drive the worm to rotate can be relatively small. When the worm 341 stops rotating, the worm 341 and the first worm wheel 321 are directly self-locked, so that the driving member 34 and the first connecting member 32 are directly self-locked.
[0103] The first connecting member 32 can further include a first gear 322 as shown in Figure 4 The second connecting member 33 includes a second gear 331 as shown in Figure 4 The first gear 322 and the second gear 331 are both rotationally connected with the mounting member 31, the first worm wheel 321 is coaxial with the first gear 322 (axis O1), and the first gear 322 is in meshing connection with the second gear 331. When the first worm wheel 321 rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1, the first gear 322 also rotates relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O1, and the first gear 322 further drives the second gear 331 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O2, so as to drive the second connecting member 33 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O2.
[0104] The rotation direction of the first connecting member 32 and the rotation direction of the second connecting member 33 are opposite, that is, when the first connecting member 32 rotates clockwise, the second connecting member 33 rotates counterclockwise, or when the first connecting member 32 rotates counterclockwise, the second connecting member 33 rotates clockwise.
[0105] In addition, the rehabilitant or the person assisting the rehabilitation can directly manually drive the worm 341 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O3, or the rehabilitant or the person assisting the rehabilitation can indirectly drive the worm 341 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O3 through other structures.
[0106] Furthermore, the axis O3 is perpendicular to the axis O1 and the axis O2.
[0107] In addition, the first worm wheel 321 and the first gear 322 can be integrally formed or detachably connected.
[0108] The mounting member 31 can be a housing structure, the first connecting member 32 can be arranged in the mounting member 31, the first worm gear 321 and the first gear 322 can be located in the mounting member 31, the second connecting member 33 can be arranged in the mounting member 31, and the second gear 331 can be located in the mounting member 31. The relatively closed mounting member 31 can protect the connecting structure located in the mounting member 31.
[0109] In other embodiments (not shown in the drawings), the main body of the mounting member can be a frame structure or a plate structure.
[0110] Optionally, the first worm gear 321 and the first gear 322 have a set transmission ratio i1, which satisfies 0.5≤i1≤1. Specifically, the transmission ratio i1 can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 or 1.
[0111] If the transmission ratio i1 is less than 1, the torque of the first gear 322 can be larger than that of the first worm gear 321, the torque of the second gear 331 driven by the first gear 322 can be larger, and the force of the second support 2 connected with the second connecting member 33 for driving the lower leg can be larger, so that the lower leg can be reliably driven to move relative to the upper leg. At the same time, the setting of the transmission ratio i1 less than 1 can also have the effect of saving effort, that is, the driving force for rotating the first worm gear 321 can be relatively small.
[0112] Optionally, the first gear 322 and the second gear 331 have a set transmission ratio i2, which satisfies 0.5≤i2≤1. Specifically, the transmission ratio i2 can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 or 1.
[0113] If the transmission ratio i2 is less than 1, the torque of the second gear 331 can be larger than that of the first gear 322, the force of the second support 2 connected with the second connecting member 33 for driving the lower leg can be larger, so that the lower leg can be reliably driven to move relative to the upper leg. At the same time, the setting of the transmission ratio i2 less than 1 can also have the effect of saving effort, that is, the driving force for rotating the first gear 322 can be relatively small.
[0114] From the above, the transmission structure between the worm 341, the first worm gear 321, the first gear 322 and the second gear 331 can be as shown in Figure 5 .
[0115] Optionally, the driving member 34 can further include as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6The first bevel gear 342, the second bevel gear 343 and the rocker handle 344 are shown. The first bevel gear 342 is connected with the worm 341, the second bevel gear 343 is connected with the rocker handle 344, the rocker handle 344 is rotatably connected with the mounting member 31, and the first bevel gear 342 is meshingly connected with the second bevel gear 343. In this arrangement, the hand of the person being rehabilitated or the person helping the rehabilitation can rock the rocker handle 344 to rotate the second bevel gear 343 relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O4, the second bevel gear 343 drives the first bevel gear 342 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O3, and the first bevel gear 342 drives the worm 341 to rotate relative to the mounting member 31 about the axis O3. Through the above arrangement, the rocker handle 344 can be located at a position that is convenient for the hand of the person being rehabilitated or the person helping the rehabilitation to operate, the movement range of the rocker handle 344 does not interfere with the movement range of the first connecting member 32, and the movement range of the rocker handle 344 does not interfere with the movement range of the second connecting member 33.
[0116] The axis O4 is perpendicular to the axis O3, and the axis O4 is parallel to the axis O1 and the axis O2.
[0117] In addition, the first bevel gear 342 and the second bevel gear 343 can have a set transmission ratio i3 that satisfies 0.5≤i3≤1. The transmission ratio i3 can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 or 1. If the transmission ratio i3 is less than 1, the torque can be increased, the torque of the second bevel gear 343 is greater than that of the first bevel gear 342, and the torque of the worm 341 driven by the second bevel gear 343 is greater. At the same time, the setting of the transmission ratio i3 less than 1 can also have the effect of saving effort, that is, the force driving the first bevel gear 342 to rotate can be relatively small.
[0118] Furthermore, the mounting member 31 can be a housing structure, a part of the structure of the rocker handle 344 is located outside the mounting member 31 so that the hand of the person being rehabilitated or the person helping the rehabilitation can rock the rocker handle 344, and another part of the structure of the rocker handle 344 is arranged in the mounting member 31 and extends into the mounting member 31. The first bevel gear 342, the second bevel gear 343 and the worm 341 are all located in the mounting member 31, and the relatively closed mounting member 31 can protect the connecting structure located in the mounting member 31.
[0119] In other embodiments (not shown in the drawings), the rocker handle can also drive the worm through other types of gear mechanisms, such as a helical gear mechanism (two gear axes are staggered).
[0120] Optionally, please refer to Figures 3-4As shown, the mounting member 31 comprises a body portion (a first portion 311 and a second portion 312) and at least two bearing portions 313 connected with each other, the first worm gear 321, the first gear 322, the second gear 331 and the rocker handle 344 are rotationally connected with the body portion, the connecting shaft 341a between the worm 341 and the first bevel gear 342 is rotationally connected with the at least two bearing portions 313, and the at least two bearing portions 313 are spaced along the axis O3 of the connecting shaft 341a, in this arrangement, the connecting shaft 341a can be well supported by the mounting member 31, and the connecting shaft 341a is not prone to structural deformation, cracking or breaking and other structural problems.
[0121] In the embodiment, the bearing portion 313 can be a sliding bearing or a rolling bearing.
[0122] In addition, if the bearing portion 313 is a sliding bearing, the bearing portion 313 can be integrally formed with the first portion 311, or the bearing portion 313 can be integrally formed with the second portion 312.
[0123] Further, the worm 341 and the first bevel gear 342 can be detachably connected.
[0124] In addition, the first portion 311 and the second portion 312 can be detachably connected, the first portion 311 and the second portion 312 enclose a first window (not shown in the figure) and a second window (not shown in the figure), the first window is used for the first connecting member 32 to pass through, the first window has an opening area capable of meeting the rotation range of the first connecting member 32, and the second window is used for the second connecting member 33 to pass through, the second window has an opening area capable of meeting the rotation range of the second connecting member 33.
[0125] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 7As shown, the driving member 34 may include a worm 341, the first connecting member 32 may include a first worm gear 321, and the second connecting member 33 may include a second worm gear 334. The worm 341 is meshedly connected with the first worm gear 321, and the worm 341 is also meshedly connected with the second worm gear 334. That is, the connection relationship between the worm 341 and the first worm gear 321 is a worm-worm connection, that is, the connection relationship between the worm 341 and the second worm gear 334 is also a worm-worm connection. The first worm gear 321 is located on one side of the worm 341, and the second worm gear 334 is located on the other side of the worm 341. When the worm 341 rotates about the axis O3, the worm 341 drives the first worm gear 321 to rotate about the axis O1, thereby rotating the first connecting member 32 relative to the mounting member 31. The worm 341 also drives the second worm gear 334 to rotate about the axis O2, thereby rotating the second connecting member 33 relative to the mounting member 31. The rotation direction of the first connecting member 32 is opposite to that of the second connecting member 33. When the worm 341 stops rotating, the worm 341 is directly self-locked with the first worm gear 321 and the second worm gear 334 , respectively, so that the driving member 34 is directly self-locked with the first connecting member 32 and the second connecting member 33 , respectively.

Figure 9 The first brace 1 shown is detachably connected (e.g., threaded or snap-fitted). The at least two first fasteners 324 can be in a fastened state or an unfastened state. In the unfastened state, the at least two first fasteners 324 can slide along the first through-slot 323a to change the position of the first fasteners 324 relative to the first support bar 323, thereby changing the position of the first brace 1 relative to the first support bar 323. When the first brace 1 is in a preset position relative to the first support bar 323, the at least two first fasteners 324 can fasten the first support bar 323 to the first brace 1, i.e., the at least two first fasteners 324 are in a fastened state, and the relative movement between the first brace 1 and the first support bar 323 is restricted. Therefore, in the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the position of the first brace 1 relative to the first connecting assembly 3 is adjustable to accommodate rehabilitators of different body shapes.

[0130] Furthermore, the first support 323 may be a retractable structure, and the length of the first support 323 can be extended to at least a first length or a second length. When the length of the first support 323 can be extended to at least a set length, a positioning structure inside the first support 323 can position the length of the first support 323 to the set length. For example, the positioning structure can be a recessed portion-raised portion matching structure or a fastener.

In the unfastened state, the at least two second fasteners 333 can slide along the second through-slot 332a to change the position of the second fasteners 333 relative to the second support bar 332, thereby changing the position of the second brace 2 relative to the second support bar 332. When the second brace 2 is located at a preset position relative to the second support bar 332, the at least two second fasteners 333 can fasten the second support bar 332 to the second brace 2, i.e., the at least two second fasteners 333 are in a fastened state, and the relative movement of the second brace 2 and the second support bar 332 is restricted. Therefore, in the joint rehabilitation device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the position of the second brace 2 relative to the first connecting assembly 3 is adjustable to accommodate rehabilitators of different body shapes.
