tmaxthink " cancellation " instruction.The effect one of " cancellation " instruction is for deleting at any time pretreatment result; The 2nd, when upper artificial limb motion, make signal processing module 200 export immediately a stop signal to driver module 300, stop the motion of upper artificial limb.
As shown in Figure 4, described driver module 300 comprises driver 301 and motor 302.When driver 301 receives the driving signal that signal processing module 200 sends, control upper artificial limb and complete corresponding setting action.
According to technique scheme, example in conjunction with the finger closure of artificial limb in a control, can draw following complete work process when daily, the control instruction of " finger is closed " of the upper artificial limb of supposition is 10001 here, i.e. the N=5 (control instruction is 5) here.
1,, when prosthesis wearer wants upper artificial limb to operate, sending " start " signal is that prosthesis wearer can deliberately firmly press by toe the piezoelectric transducer that is positioned at toe below, makes pressure F > F
tmaxand the lasting time surpasses 5000 milliseconds, and now start working in the action recognition unit 203 in signal processing module 200, is also that whole system is started working.
When " finger is closed " of 2, wanting to control upper artificial limb as upper artificial limb wearer so realized and captured certain object, need with toe with F
tmin< F < F
tmaxpressure press piezoelectric transducer 5 times, and make this 5 lasting times respectively between 600 milliseconds to 2000 milliseconds, between 100 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds, between 100 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds, between 100 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds, between 600 milliseconds to 2000 milliseconds.
If 3 toes are pressed the pressure of piezoelectric transducer and persistent period all in prescribed limit at every turn, the signals collecting in signal processing module 200 and pretreatment unit 201 should detect U successively
oHL, U
oHS, U
oHS, U

oHLwhat in confirmation command unit 202, write successively is " 1 ", " 0 ", " 0 ", " 0 ", " 1 ", and the result of observing in reminding module 400 should be " 1 ", " 0 ", " 0 ", " 0 ", " 1 " (the reminding module 400 here can adopt the display screen that is worn on head, real-time display digit " 1 " or " 0 " on display screen) successively.Now 10001 be exactly the instruction of the control wanted " finger is closed ".If have any pressure of once pressing piezoelectric transducer or persistent period not in prescribed limit, there will be undesired result, after observing reminding module 400 and confirming to make a mistake, can be rapidly with F > F
tmaxpressure press piezoelectric transducer, current numeral is deleted goes out confirmation command unit 202.
4,10001 in confirmation command unit 202 is sent to action recognition unit 203 as pre-action command, action recognition unit 203 finds the action command corresponding with 10001, and output to driver module 300, now with electric motor starting corresponding to finger, realize the action of " finger is closed ", thereby realize the function capturing.
If 5 because the factors such as external disturbance cause motor action undesirable, can press rapidly piezoelectric transducer with toe, make its force value F > F
tmax, sending " cancellation " instruction, upper artificial limb quits work immediately, realizes the function of brake hard.
6, when sleeping at night or temporarily do not need upper artificial limb to make when action, can press piezoelectric transducer with toe, make its force value F > F
tmaxsurpass 5000 milliseconds, send " shutdown " signal, make control system enter off-mode.Now system is in waiting for " start " signal.
The work process of above-mentioned upper artificial limb control system can be summarized following control method, as shown in figure 10:
Step S1, start.When prosthesis wearer wants upper artificial limb to operate, discharge by pressing " start " signal first.The production method of " start " signal is deliberately by toe, firmly to press the piezoelectric transducer that is positioned at toe below in the present embodiment, makes pressure F > F
tmaxeven if the lasting time surpasses 5000 milliseconds of T2-T1 > 5000, now start working in the action recognition unit 203 in signal processing module 200.When conventionally standing or walking, can deliberately make pressure F > F
tmaxpersistent period surpass 5000 milliseconds, there will not be the situation of T2-T1 > 5000, so just can not produce " start " signal, action recognition unit 203 is with regard to always in the state of quitting work.
, there is voltage signal in step S2.By toe, press in a particular manner the piezoelectric transducer being arranged under toe and produce voltage signal.In the present embodiment, by toe with F
tmin< F < F
tmaxpressure press piezoelectric transducer, if the lasting time between 600 milliseconds to 2000 milliseconds, i.e. 600 < T4-T3 < 2000, window voltage comparator 103 output " length " high level; If the persistent period between 100 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds, i.e. 100 < T4-T3 < 600, window voltage comparator 103 output " short " high level.
Step S3, acquired signal and pretreatment.The voltage signal that control system Real-time Collection occurs also carries out pretreatment.In the present embodiment, the high level U that the signals collecting in signal processing module 200 and pretreatment unit 201 Real-Time Monitorings are sent here by window voltage comparator 103 and threshold voltage comparator 104
oHand U
gHpersistent period.If U
oHthe lasting time, 600 < T4-T3 < 2000, thought " length " high level U between 600 milliseconds to 2000 milliseconds
oHL, and in confirmation command unit 202, write " 1 " and numeral " 1 " is sent into reminding module 400; If U
oHthe lasting time, 100 < T4-T3 < 600, thought " short " high level U between 100 milliseconds to 600 milliseconds
oHS, and write " 0 " and digital " 0 " is sent into reminding module 400 in confirmation command unit 202.
Step S4, confirmation command.Whether the numeral that judgement writes in confirmation command unit 202 in this step is the numeral of wanting, and makes corresponding processing by whether pressing " cancellation " instruction.In the present embodiment, check reminding module 400, if when the binary digit that confirmation command unit 202 is sent here is wrong, send in time " cancellation " instruction, with F > F
tmaxpressure press piezoelectric transducer, this binary digit is deleted, now signals collecting and pretreatment unit 201 continues Real-Time Monitorings; If when full 5 bit binary number is write in confirmation command unit, confirmation command unit 202 is sent into action recognition unit 203 using this binary digit of 5 as pre-action command.
Step S5, sends " cancellation " instruction.With toe, press piezoelectric transducer, make its force value F > F
tmax, send " cancellation " instruction, delete the binary digit that writes confirmation command unit 202.
Step S6, output action instruction.According to pre-action command, adopt template matching method to find corresponding action command signal, and output.In the present embodiment, action recognition unit 203 adopts template matching method to carry out template matching to pre-action command, according to template matching results, exports corresponding action command to driver module 300.
Step S7, upper artificial limb is carried out and is set action, and judges whether to want brake hard according to the action of upper artificial limb.In the present embodiment, driver module 300 operates upper artificial limb accordingly according to the driving signal of signal processing module 200 inputs.If it is abnormal that upper artificial limb occurs in carrying out certain course of action, carry out S8.If upper artificial limb is normal at certain course of action of execution, carry out S9.
Step S8, sends " cancellation " instruction.With toe, press piezoelectric transducer, make its force value F > F
tmax, sending " cancellation " instruction, upper artificial limb quits work immediately.
Step S9, executes after S7 or S8 step, judges whether to work on.If press piezoelectric transducer with toe, make its force value F > F
tmaxsurpass 5000 milliseconds, send " shutdown " signal, make control system enter off-mode; If do not send " shutdown " signal, return to step S2, wait for that toe sends voltage signal again.
Until complete machine quits work.
