Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for active movement of a person or object.
  • WO 2007/035976 A2 (Ferrara Paolo ) describes a device for moving people or objects in a flexible controllable manner, e.g. for purposes of play, sport, pedagogy or therapy.
  • Pneumatic actuators without a piston are arranged between a fixed part and a movable part.
  • the actuators may only exert force in one direction, a combination of actuator and spring element or a combination of two actuators acting in opposite directions are provided.
  • the movable part may be rotated in two degrees of freedom as well as translated linearly in a vertical direction by providing three actuator combinations connected at three locations distanced from each other of the movable part.
  • the actuator combinations may be connected to the movable part by means of cables being deflected by means of a deflection roller.
  • the movement of the actuators may be controlled by means of a specific algorithm allowing a desired movement of the movable part of the device.
  • This device has the disadvantage that two actuation elements are needed for any force imparted on the movable part, one acting in one direction and the other acting in the reverse direction. Hence, a high number of actuators have to be used even for a device only allowing simple movements. This increases the cost and the complexity of an appropriate control means.
  • EP 2 228 101 A1 (Moritz Martin ) describes a training device with a base plate, a ball caster arranged on said base plate and a board movably arranged on the ball caster.
  • the movable board is further connected with the base plate by means of a plurality of elastic strips.
  • WO 03/103858 describes a device with a fix frame and two table-like plates arranged parallel to each other. Both plates may be moved independent of each other in three spatial directions.
  • a motorized drive puts the plates into a randomized, oscillating motions which follow an elliptical or circular trajectory. These motions are caused by an eccentric roll acting on the plates and being connected to the motor.
  • a device for active movement of a person or object comprising a base structure and a platform movably supported on the base structure by means of a support.
  • the support is arranged between said base structure and said platform and is configured to allow a movement of said platform in at least three degrees of freedom.
  • At least three cables are fastened to an underside of said platform at a first end.
  • the at least three cables are fastened at a second end to a common initial point, said initial point being freely movable at least in one plane by actuation means.
  • a very simple and reliable actuation of the platform is realized.
  • Such a device has a wide range of applications, but is preferably used as therapeutic or training device for persons.
  • the base structure serves as scaffold for the elements of the device.
  • the base structure comprises a plate or feet onto which the device may be placed on the ground.
  • the base structure also comprises any bearings for the platform as well as attachment points for the actuation means.
  • the base structure may be of any suitable kind, e.g. in the form of a box, strut arrangement, etc.
  • the base structure is made of any suitable material having a sufficient strength and rigidity to support the elements of the device as well as a person standing on the platform or any object placed thereon.
  • the base structure therefore comprises steel, aluminium, hardwood, fibre glass or any other suitable material.
  • the base structure comprises a mixture of different materials, e.g. steel bars enclosed by a polymer housing.
  • the platform preferably is in the shape of a substantially flat board onto which a person may stand on or onto which an object may be placed.
  • the platform may more preferably include at least one structural element which provides a good grip of a person standing on the platform, e.g. an at least partially corrugated surface, depressions for placing feet therein, etc.
  • the platform may comprise a restraint element allowing to affix feet of a person or an object to the platform to avoid the person or object to fall from the platform during movement thereof.
  • the platform may be made of any suitable material having a sufficient strength to support a person or object placed thereon. Suitable materials may be steel, aluminium, hardwood, fibre glass, polymers etc.
  • the “degrees of freedom" the platform may be freely moved in comprise linear translation in a plane parallel to the platform in two spatial directions as well as tilting about two axes parallel to the platform in two directions each.
  • the support may be in the form of at least one bearing allowing the movement of the platform relative to the base plate.
  • the at least one bearing may for example be a rolling-element bearing, a plain bearing, a flexible bearing or the like. A combination of different bearings may also be used.
  • the at least three cables have to be attached to the movable platform at three different attachment points being spaced from each other by an adequate distance and preferably located near an edge of the platform such that the platform may be moved by a small dislodgment of any of the cables.
  • the at least three cables are attached to the underside of the platform at an equal distance from each other and the attachment points of the cables to the platform are preferably evenly distributed, e.g. along the circumference of the platform.
  • the three cables are preferably attached to the underside of the platform at three attachment points which are arranged on the corners of an imaginary equilateral triangle on the platform, i.e. all spaced from each other by an equal distance.
  • the at least three cables By moving the initial point in one plane, the at least three cables will be either pulled or pushed by the initial point. Accordingly, any pulling force will be transmitted from a cable to the platform. By using a rigid member it is possible to also transmit a pushing force to the platform. However, in practice, it has been shown that it is sufficient to use a flexible element such as a cable.
  • any motion of the platform imparted by pulling one of the at least three cables may be reversed by pulling at least one of the at least two other cables. This pulling may be simply enabled by reversing the motion of the initial point.
  • the initial point itself may be moved in the plane by any suitable means.
  • the initial point may be moved by means of at least two linear actuators, such as pneumatic pistons, acting on the initial point.
  • the plane within which the initial point is being moved does not need to be parallel the base structure or the platform. Preferably however, this plane is arranged such as to be parallel to the ground the device will be place on.
  • the actuation means preferably comprise at least two drive cables which are connected to the initial point at a first end and to an actuator at a second end.
  • the actuators may be passive actuators, such as spring or elastic elements, or may be active actuators, such as motors.
  • cables may be used to connect the actuators with the initial point, but that also ropes, cords, bands or even rigid members such as bars, poles, rods or the like may be used.
  • the two rigid members are attached to the initial point in a way to enclose an angle of 90° to each other.
  • the actuators are linear actuators.
  • Linear actuators are known to a person having skill in the art and comprise, amongst others, hydraulic and pneumatic pistons.
  • the actuators are of the pneumatic muscle type.
  • Pneumatic muscles also sometimes referred to as “pneumatic artificial muscles” or “PAM” are contractile or extensional devices operated by pressurized air.
  • Such contractile actuators are e.g. manufactured and sold by Festo AG under the name “fluidic muscle”. Such actuators are capable of exerting a contractile force of up to 6'000 N and may contract up to a distance of approximately 25 % of their nominal length. Different nominal lengths are available which reach be up to 9 meters.
  • pneumatic muscles have a high initial force in any contracting movement and hence allow a high dynamic even when moving relatively heavy loads, very precise motion may be imparted to the initial point and hence to the platform by using such pneumatic muscles. Further, pneumatic muscles also allow a slip-free movement, which is especially important in the case that the device is used as therapeutic or training device for persons.
  • any pneumatic system includes the arrangement of a corresponding system of valves, tubing and reservoir of pressurized air or a connection valve to such a reservoir on the device.
  • the device comprises three drive cables which are connected to the initial point, said cables being arranged such as to lead away of the initial point at angles of approximately 120° one to each other.
  • each of the drive cables is further attached to an actuation means and that hence the device comprises three actuation means.
  • This configuration has the advantage that the initial point may be freely moved about the plane with two degrees of freedom, namely linear translation in two spatial directions, while using a minimal number of drive cables. In fact, the initial point may be reversibly moved to any distinct point within the plane by using only the three actuation means.
  • the initial point is preferably arranged between said base structure and said platform. Such an arrangement allows a compact configuration of the device. Further, the initial point is thus less accessible from the outside which minimizes the risk of an injury to a person caused by the moving initial point and/or the cables.
  • said support is configured to allow a movement of said platform in four degrees of freedom, preferably by allowing free translation and tilting of said platform about said support.
  • the support may e.g. include a plurality of bearings acting together.
  • the support of the platform is a ball caster.
  • a ball caster has the advantage to allow movement of the platform with high number of degrees of freedom while being able to support heavy loads. Further, a ball caster exhibits a relatively low friction so that the force transmitted from the actuators to the platform is maximized.
  • the device preferably further comprises a controller for controlling said actuation means. This allows to impart defined motions to a person or object placed on the platform.
  • the controller may be of any suitable type to control the actuation means.
  • the controller is an electronic controller allowing to individually control each of the actuation means.
  • the controller is configured such as to move said platform to any combination of translation, rotation and/or tilting about the ball caster through a translation of said initial point by means of the actuation means.
  • the controller comprises at least one microprocessor and at least one memory module such that sequences of specific motions may be programmed and stored by the controller.
  • the controller is preferably configured such that a specific combination of lateral translation and/or tilting may be inputted by an operator and the correct control signals are automatically sent to the actuation means.
  • the controller most preferably comprises a suitable algorithm to translate any input of lateral translation, rotation and/or tilting into corresponding control signals sent to the actuation means.
  • the controller is in the form of a software running on a computer having appropriate interfaces to control the actuators and/or valves controlling the actuators.
  • the controller comprises an algorithm enabling the platform to perform stochastic motion in select directions and with definable maximal translation distances and/or tilting angles. This allows designing personal therapies or training programs for any person, the programs being directed to the individual physical needs of the persons.
  • At least two wire-draw encoders are attached to said initial point, said encoders being connected to the controller.
  • This allows a feedback to the controller on the position of the initial point. Therefore any misalignment of the initial point may be corrected by the controller based on the feedback generated by the at least two wire-draw encoders.
  • the wires of the wire-draw encoders are preferably attached to the initial point such as to form an angle of 90° between both wires, whereby the wires lie in the motion plane of the initial point. This enables a precise detection of the position of the initial point within its plane of motion by the wire-draw encoders.
  • the at least three cables are preferably each deflected by means of at least one pulley arranged on said base plate between said first end and said second end, said deflection creating an angle in each of said cables. This allows leading the three cables from the pulleys to the initial point in a direction which is substantially parallel to the plane of movement of the initial point, thus facilitating the set-up of the device.
  • the fastening points of said cables to the underside of the platform and/or said arrangement of pulleys on said base plate are preferably movable such as to enable an independent variation in said angle of each of the cables by individually moving the fastening point and/or the pulley of each cable. This allows a variation in the proportion between tilting and translation in any movement of the platform induced by a movement of the initial point.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a schematic representation of an inventive device 1.
  • the device 1 comprises a base structure 2 and a platform 3 which is movably arranged on the base structure 2 by means of a ball caster 4. Elements of the device 1 which would be hidden from the viewer by the platform 3 are represented in spotted lines.
