- the first link member 1340 may be configured to be rotatable by ⁇ through the rotation center 1330 of the T-shaped member 1310 .
- ⁇ may be 10°.
- the second operation step 1420 represents a state after the first link member 1340 rotates through the center 1330 .
- the center 1320 of the first link member 1340 moves to the left rather than the center 1320 shown in the first operation step, 1 It can be seen that the position of the link member 1340 moves to the left. For example, when the first link member 1340 rotates by 2°, it may move by 0.58 mm.
- the position of the first link member 1340 is moved to the left by the rotational movement of the first link member 1340 through the eccentricity, thereby converting the rotational motion into a linear motion. Accordingly, when the prosthetic leg wearer intends to cause sudden knee bending, the rotational motion of the first link member 1340 is changed to a linear motion through eccentricity, thereby preventing the knee from being completely bent.
- FIG. 15 is an exemplary view illustrating a stance phase flexion state of the artificial knee joint 1500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
- abnormal motions such as excessive bending of the artificial knee joint or sudden knee bending unintended by the prosthetic leg wearer may occur.
- the artificial knee joint 1500 may be excessively bent, or sudden knee bending may occur unintentionally by the prosthetic wearer. This can be prevented and a natural stance phase bending state can be implemented as shown in FIG. 15 .
- the upper joint member 1510 may have a stance phase flexion at an appropriate angle, and at this time, the second shaft 1570 and the third shaft 1580 may be fixed.
- the first link member 1540 and the second link member 1550 also move while the artificial knee joint can be suddenly completely bent.
- the artificial knee joint 1500 may prevent such a phenomenon by controlling the movement of the second axis 1570 and the third axis 1580 and maintain the stance phase flexion at an appropriate angle. .
- the T-shaped member 1530 of the main body 1520 rotates clockwise by a predetermined angle from the main body 1520 about the A axis 1560 to rotate the second axis 1570 and the third axis 1580 . ) to prevent excessive movement.
- the main body 1520 may be supported in a direction opposite to the direction in which the second shaft 1570 and the third shaft 1580 are going to move.
- the second shaft 1570 passing through the T-shaped member 1530 of the main body 1520 has an eccentricity so that the rotational motion of the first link member 1540 is converted into a linear motion so that the knee is completely bent. loss can be prevented.
- the second axis 1570 and the third axis 1580 move in the walking process through the T-shaped member 1530, the support member 1010, and the second axis 1570 configured to have eccentricity, so that the artificial knee It is possible to provide an artificial knee joint capable of securing safety by effectively preventing the joint from being excessively bent or from sudden knee bending unintended by the prosthetic leg wearer.
- 16 is a perspective view of an artificial knee joint according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
- 17 is a side view of the artificial knee joint disclosed in FIG. 16 .
- 18 is a perspective view of the upper joint member of the artificial knee joint disclosed in FIG. 16 .
- the upper joint member 1610 has a second protrusion 1630 protruding to both sides.
- the second protrusion 1630 is in contact with the upper surface of the T-shaped member 1640 .
- An upper surface of the T-shaped member 1640 in contact with the second protrusion 1630 has a curvature.
- the T-shaped member 1640 may have a depression in a portion in contact with the second protrusion 1630 . Since the A-axis 1660 is disposed backward with respect to the walking direction relative to the first protrusion 1650 , the T-shaped member 1640 may secure the recessed portion.
- abnormal movements such as excessive bending of the artificial knee joint or sudden knee bending unintended by the prosthetic leg wearer may occur.
- the artificial knee joint 1500 may be excessively bent, or sudden knee bending may occur unintentionally by the prosthetic wearer.
- the second protrusion 1630 may apply a downward force while in contact with the upper surface of the T-shaped member 1630 .
- abnormal motions such as excessive bending of the artificial knee joint or sudden knee bending unintended by the prosthetic leg wearer are prevented when the prosthetic leg wearer is walking, in the stance phase, or standing A bending state can be implemented.
- the second protrusion 1630 presses the T-shaped member 1640 in the direction of the arrow 2 around the first shaft 1710 passing through the penetrating portion 1810 by the load. This limits the movement of the first link member 1670 in the direction of the arrow 3, so that when the load of the stance phase bending occurs, a natural stance bending (eg, 60 degrees) can be implemented.
- the second protrusion 1630 may be configured in the form of a roller, and may press the T-shaped member 1640 while rotating.
