Description

Single-shaft active-passive hybrid-driven intelligent artificial limb knee joint structure with energy recovery function
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of human body rehabilitation aids, in particular to a single-shaft active and passive hybrid drive intelligent artificial limb knee joint structure with an energy recovery function.
Background
With the increase of lower limb amputation patients and the continuous development of technologies such as micro-electronics and control, the intelligent lower limb prosthesis gradually becomes a research hotspot in the field of rehabilitation robots. As a core component of lower limb prosthesis systems, high performance knee prosthesis designs remain a major technical difficulty in current prosthesis designs. Currently, the existing intelligent artificial limb knee joint can be divided into a passive type and an active type according to a joint driving mode. When the passive artificial limb knee joint walks, the knee joint damping moment is adjusted according to the change of external conditions to realize gait adjustment, but the passive artificial limb knee joint cannot assist a patient to go upstairs because the active moment is not provided. The active artificial limb knee joint can replace leg muscles to provide torque, so that a wearer can better finish walking modes needing active torque such as going upstairs and the like, but the active artificial limb knee joint has the defects of higher energy consumption, larger volume and weight of a battery, short endurance time and the like. At present, three ways of adjusting damping in the artificial knee joint mainly comprise magnetorheological, pneumatic and hydraulic. The magneto-rheological intelligent knee joint achieves the effect of adjusting damping by changing the magnetic field intensity through changing the current, but the viscosity change of the magneto-rheological fluid is closely related to the magnetic field, the requirements on magneto-rheological fluid materials are high, and the magneto-rheological intelligent knee joint is not easy to control and improve the productivity. The opening degree of the valve inside the damping cylinder is adjusted through the microprocessor driving motor in hydraulic pressure and air pressure, so that the aim of adjusting damping is achieved, but the stability of the supporting performance of the air pressure knee joint is unreliable, and safety accidents are easily caused.

Chinese patent publication No. CN102065799A discloses a semi-driven artificial knee joint device, which realizes driving and non-driving modes by a hydraulic pump and a damping adjusting valve, but the hydraulic valve loop is complex and especially complex, and the hydraulic pump and the electric motor make the structure complex and heavy. Chinese patent publications CN109806037A and CN111110409B disclose an active and passive hybrid control type hydraulic four-bar artificial limb knee joint, which also realizes the control of driving and damping by a hydraulic pump and a damping adjusting valve, but the four-bar mechanism is directly controlled by a motor, because the four-bar mechanism has a multi-axis rotation center, the loss is large in the driving process of the driving moment, and the self-locking moment of the stepping motor needs a magnetic powder clutch to ensure that the moment does not influence the passive control stage when the stepping motor is powered off, and the position where the motor is placed is close to the human body, which is not beneficial to the safety of the human body.
