Hip joint four-bar motion mechanism is a crank four-bar linkage, and its crank is 48.Connecting rod is made up of 46,44 two and half connecting rods, when work, with relieving mechanism 10 their rigid attachment together.Rocking bar is formed by free bearing 42 with the upper body supporting 27 of its riveted joint.Thigh support bar 33 and support 50 constitute the frame of mechanism.Connect with the hinge 47,43 that bearing is housed and 32 respectively between crank, connecting rod, rocking bar and frame.When work, crank 48 serves as that axle around body bearing 27 swings so mechanism makes thigh support 33 with hinge 32 counterclockwise to rotate.Because each parameter of mechanism is pressed the design of the slow small step walking of human body rule, thereby the thigh characteristics of motion of thigh during by human walking that mechanism drives the patient steps moving forward.When patient's rest, relieving mechanism 10 can make upper and lower half connecting rod 44 and 46 free bends, so hip joint 32 becomes free joint.
The knee joint driving mechanism:
This mechanism is formed by three mechanisms in series, and they are knee joint one-level four-bar mechanisms 9, knee joint gear graduation changement 13 and secondary four-bar mechanism 17.
Four-bar mechanism 9 is by crank 48, connecting rod 51, and rocking bar 53 and frame 50 are formed.Be respectively to connect between " four bars " with the hinge 47,52 that bearing is housed and 55.Mechanism 13 is gear mechanisms, is made up of fan type gear (being again the rocking bar of mechanism 9 simultaneously) 53 and pinion (also being the crank of mechanism 17 simultaneously) 56.The axle of two gears utilizes bearing iron hinge 54 and 55 to be installed on the support 50.The crank of mechanism 17 is 56, and connecting rod is made up of two and half connecting rods 58 and 60, and is similar with the hip joint driving mechanism, they is linked together rigidly with relieving mechanism 16 in when work.Rocking bar constitutes by rotatable hinge seat 49 and with shank main supporting rod 18 that it welds together, and frame then is that support 50 and the thigh master that connects with its rigidity support 33 formations.With bearing iron hinge 54,57,61 and 38 is hinged between " four bars ".After power process mechanism 9 conversions from crank 48, output on rocking bar 53, elevating arc and pinion 56 engagements with 53 consubstantialities, conversion back with the secondary crank of 56 consubstantialities on be input to mechanism 17, the motion of mechanism 17 outputs on the secondary rocking bar 49, joint hinge 38 swings so driving shank main supporting rod 18 is stayed with one's parents in order to make them happy.Because each parameter of whole knee joint driving mechanism is pressed each parameter while optimal design of the slow small step walking of human body rule and hip joint driving mechanism, thereby kneed motion also meets the human locomotion knee joint and strides forward the characteristics of motion.
More than two driving mechanisms because shared crank 48, thereby be the interlock of one degree of freedom doublejointed, thereby guarantee the reliability of walking, and the mobility of both legs.
The joint relieving mechanism is referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6.
Because the relieving mechanism 16 of knee joint driving mechanism is the same with the relieving mechanism 10 of hip joint driving mechanism on principle and structure, thereby be the example description with the relieving mechanism of hip joint driving mechanism here.Relieving mechanism is by first connecting rod 44, second connecting rod 46, and sliding sleeve 62, hinge 63, banking pin 45 constitutes.Figure four and figure five are respectively top view and the side view of relieving mechanism in working order the time.When shown position, though two halves connecting rod 44 and 46 connect with rotatable hinge 63 since sliding sleeve 62 with two halves connecting rod 44 and 46 and hinge 63 together entangle, make first connecting rod 44 not rotate around second connecting rod 46, both become a rigid body.When patient's rest, sliding sleeve 62 is slided into figure six positions, the two halves connecting rod can rotate mutually, and the effective length of connecting rod becomes arbitrarily, so at hip joint 32 places, upper body cramp bar 27 can freely rotate with respect to thigh support bar 33.The effect of banking pin 45 is when patient moving, and sliding sleeve 62 leans against on the banking pin 45 to guarantee that sliding sleeve 62 is in suitable latched position by gravity fall.
The control logic of pedipulator such as figure seven.The 8th, power supply.64 and 65 is respectively the speed-regulating potentiometer of left and right sides lower limb, the 66th, and synchro switch, they all are installed on patient's the walking stick 6.The 67th, controller, it is according to turning round 64,65 and 66 signal from control, and with reference to the signal from the phase sensitivity amplifying unit, decision is to the supply voltage of left and right two motor 69 and 70.The motion mode of pedipulator has two kinds, and first both legs are with interlock frequently.At this moment Synchronization Control button 66 is connected.The motion of both legs will keep the same frequency motion of 180 degree phase contrasts.Step frequently can be by 64 controls of left lower limb control potentiometer.Principle with walking frequently is as follows, and left and right corner displacement transducer 71 and 72 measures the angular displacement ψ of left and right sides lower limb crank respectively LAnd ψ R, and they are converted into corresponding voltage signal u L=Usin ψ LAnd u L=Usin ψ R, signal U LBecome-Usin ψ through behind the phase inverter 73 LTwo signals are again through becoming the input signal U of phase-sensitive amplifier behind the comparator 74 Go into mutually=usin ψ R+ usin ψ L=u(sin ψ R+ sin ψ L), and the output signal of phase sensitivity amplifying unit is U Go out mutually=ku(sin ψ L+ sin ψ R), as can be seen, have only the ψ of working as L-180 °-ψ R=0 o'clock, U Go into mutuallyJust be zero.Work as ψ L-180 °-ψ R>0 o'clock, show the righter motor 70 of rotating speed fast of left motor 69, control unit 67 will improve the supply voltage of right motor, otherwise, controller will reduce the current potential of right motor, to improve its rotating speed, be the same frequency interlock of 180 degree thereby make left and right sides motor 69 and 70 keep phase contrast.Be mainly used in the walking state of pedipulator with interlock frequently.
It two is the control of single lower limb.Disconnect interlock control knob 66, the controller 67 of pedipulator is in single lower limb control mode, utilizes left and right lower limb control potentiometer 64 and 65 can start or stop left and right lower limb motor 69 and 70 respectively, and carries out speed governing.Single lower limb motion mode is mainly used in the action that the patient adjusts attitude.
Installation process when the patient uses pedipulator:
The front portion of elastic health receptive cavity 25 is openings, and patient's body can enter from opening part, after suspender belt 29 is hung up properly, patient's body can be tightened with fastening cross band 24,28 and 31, and lock with snap close 23,26 and 30.Elastic thigh acceptance 35 and thigh cross band 34 also are that the patient's of front openings thigh enters from opening, then with velcro on the receptive cavity 35 and the locking of the belt on the cross band 34.Elastic transtibial sockets 19 and shank cross band 39 rear aperture, shank enter the back from behind and lock with velcro and belt.Patient's foot will pierce in the shoes 22 before thigh and shank are fixing, and fastens with belt 20.Notice that for wearing conveniently, relieving mechanism should discharge.
