Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an adaptive center of gravity following device for assisting in going up and down stairs, belonging to the technical field of rehabilitation training equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Existing stair-climbing training devices are generally semi-automatic and lack self-adaptability. Patients cannot complete the training independently and require therapist assistance to follow along and remotely adjust the device. Patients train while following the therapist's adjustments, resulting in low training efficiency and failure to achieve the desired effect within a certain timeframe. Furthermore, the training data differs significantly from the patient's actual performance. Additionally, this assistance cannot synchronize with the patient's walking, preventing the patient from receiving constant tension and making them appear passive during training. Traditional stair-climbing training devices offer a single training mode, lacking patient initiative. After training, accurate data on the patient's walking process cannot be obtained, lacking specificity and timely adjustments to the training plan. This requires patients to expend more training time and energy, ultimately failing to achieve optimal training results. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an adaptive center of gravity following device for assisting in climbing stairs. This device adaptively assists in patient training, synchronizing with the patient's walking to provide better constant traction. It enables the patient to take the initiative and train independently during stair climbing, thereby freeing up therapists and reducing their workload and stress.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An adaptive center of gravity following device for assisting in going up and down stairs includes a walking track and a head assembly. The walking track is arranged along the stairs and installed above the stairs via a ceiling track hanger. The head assembly is used to generate power and move along the walking track. The head assembly is connected to the patient via a sling to provide dynamic weight reduction for the patient.
[0006] A measuring grating is installed on the side of the staircase, and the measuring grating is used to detect the patient's position;
[0007] Multiple RFID chip modules are installed on the walking track, and each RFID chip module corresponds to a different step of the staircase. A card reader is installed on the machine head assembly, and the card reader is used to read the information of the RFID chip modules.
[0008] The external control system controls the movement of the head assembly based on the signal output by the measuring grating and the information read by the card reader.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the measuring grating includes a transmitter and a receiver, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the staircase and cooperate with each other.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, handrails are provided on both sides of the staircase, and the transmitter and receiver are respectively installed on the handrails on both sides of the staircase.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the transmitter and receiver are installed close to the surface of the stair tread.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the RFID chip module is installed at a position corresponding to the center position of the stair step in the depth direction.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention can adaptively assist in patient training, achieving synchronization with the patient's walking and providing better constant traction. This allows the patient to take the initiative and train independently during stair climbing training, thereby freeing up therapists and reducing their workload and labor intensity. Therapists can monitor the patient's walking data in the background and make timely adjustments to the patient's training, providing effective rehabilitation training methods, making the patient's training more reasonable, effective, and reliable, and achieving the best training results.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is an adaptive center of gravity following device for assisting in ascending and descending stairs via a ceiling track. It includes a walking track 1 and a head assembly 2. The walking track 1 is arranged along a staircase 3 and installed above the staircase 3 via a ceiling track hanger 4. The head assembly 2 generates power and moves along the walking track 1. The head assembly 2 is connected to the patient via a sling to provide dynamic weight reduction. A measuring grating 5 is installed on the side of the staircase 3 to detect the patient's position. Multiple RFID chip modules 6 are installed on the walking track 1, each corresponding to a different step of the staircase 3, and the installation position of the RFID chip modules 6 corresponds to the center position of the steps in the depth direction of the staircase 3. A card reader is installed on the head assembly 2 to read the information from the RFID chip modules 6. An external control system controls the movement of the head assembly 2 based on the signal output from the measuring grating 5 and the information read by the card reader.
[0024] In this embodiment, the measuring grating 5 includes a transmitter 51 and a receiver 52. The transmitter 51 and the receiver 52 are respectively arranged on both sides of the staircase 3 and cooperate with each other. Specifically, handrails 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the staircase 3. The transmitter 51 and the receiver 52 are respectively installed on the handrails 7 on both sides of the staircase 3, and the installation positions of the transmitter 51 and the receiver 52 are close to the step surface of the staircase 3.
[0025] In this embodiment, protective handrails 7 are provided on both sides of the staircase 3. Measuring gratings 5 are installed on the handrails 7 to detect the patient's position during stair climbing training. A ceiling track 4 is fixed to the building structure with expansion bolts. A walking track 1 is connected to the ceiling track 4. Multiple RFID chip modules 6 are installed on the walking track 1, corresponding to the center position of each step in the depth direction of the staircase 3. A head assembly 2 is embedded in the walking track 1, which provides power and guidance to the head assembly 2, allowing it to move along the trajectory of the staircase 3. The head assembly 2 is connected to the patient via a sling to provide dynamic weight reduction. When the patient walks on the steps for stair climbing training, the measuring grating 5 detects the patient's corresponding step position and sends a signal to the external control system. The external control system sends a command to the head assembly 2 based on the signal output by the measuring grating 5. The head assembly 2 moves at a constant speed to the step above the patient's current step. The head assembly 2 is equipped with a card reader, which reads the information from the RFID chip module 6 corresponding to the step above and sends it to the external control system. The external control system confirms the accurate position based on the information read by the card reader and stops the head assembly 2, thus achieving adaptive assistance to the patient's training and synchronizing with the patient's walking. During the patient's stair climbing, the tension on the sling changes with each movement. The head assembly 2 uses a pressure sensor (which converts the tension into pressure) to adjust the length of the sling to maintain a constant initial tension value. Because the movement of the head assembly 2 is synchronized with the patient's walking, the patient receives better constant tension during training. The head assembly 2 is existing technology and will not be described further here.
[0026] This embodiment can adaptively assist in patient training, achieving synchronization with the patient's walking and providing better constant traction. This allows the patient to take the initiative and train independently during stair climbing training, thereby freeing up the therapist and reducing their workload and labor intensity. The therapist can observe the patient's walking data in the background and make timely adjustments to the patient's training, providing effective rehabilitation training methods, making the patient's training more reasonable, effective, and reliable, and achieving the best training results.
