Description

Pelvis supporting walking aid based on force sensing parallel mechanism
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of walking assisting walkers, in particular to a pelvis supporting walker based on a force sensing parallel mechanism.
Background
Due to factors such as nerve injury, musculoskeletal injury, disability, and aging, a large proportion of patients have certain dysfunction in walking function. In order to restore the walking ability of the part of the patient and promote the rehabilitation of the motion function of the lower limb, a walking aid can be used for assisting the patient to walk.
The walking aids are more in types and form types, are classified by power drive and can be divided into two types, namely power type and unpowered type; from the classification of the support forms, four types of armrest support, suspension support, pelvic support, exoskeleton support, and the like can be classified. Among these, patients with less impaired walking ability may use armrests to support the walker, while patients with more impaired walking ability may require the assistance of suspension supports, pelvic supports, exoskeleton supports, and the like. For the patient with seriously impaired walking ability, compared with the suspension support type only connected with the upper trunk, the two types of walking aids such as the pelvis support and the exoskeleton support are directly connected with the pelvis/lower limbs, so that the walking aid and the functional intervention on the lower limbs of the patient are more advantageous.
The present invention is primarily directed to pelvic support type walkers. The principle of pelvic support type walkers is an intermediate connection system between the walker and the patient's pelvis, employing an active auxiliary mechanical system, assisting the patient in standing support and walking. Most of the active auxiliary mechanical systems (such as CN103315876A, CN108392782A, and CN110975227A) adopted in the current intermediate connection systems adopt a series connection structure, which can realize the main movement of the pelvis of the human body during walking, however, most of the mechanisms in the invention cannot realize all degrees of freedom movement of the three-dimensional space of the pelvis, and because the inertia of the series connection mechanism is large, the flexibility of the series connection mechanism is lacked when the series connection mechanism is finally applied to the pelvis of the human body. In addition, the existing walking aid mainly comprises a six-dimensional force sensor arranged between an intermediate connection system and a training patient to sense the movement intention of the training patient, the six-dimensional force sensor has the advantages that the force sense provided by the six-dimensional force sensor is sensitive, the defects are mainly embodied in that the six-dimensional force sensor is arranged between the intermediate connection system and the training patient, a certain space volume is additionally occupied, and the six-dimensional force sensor is arranged between the intermediate connection system and the training patient and needs to bear two functions of sensing interaction force and transferring auxiliary force.
