技术领域
本发明涉及可穿戴设备技术领域,具体地,涉及一种为用户的脚踝提供辅助力可被日常使用的脚踝辅助外骨骼支架。
背景技术
当下,为了不同的目的而设计出了用于下肢的可穿戴设备,其中包括增强人体力量的可穿戴设备、提供康复训练的可穿戴设备、提高移动效率和减少人体能耗的可穿戴设备。为了增强人体力量和康复的目的,可穿戴的下肢设备或外骨骼通常依赖于全腿刚性金属结构来提供外部身体支撑。这些下肢外骨骼系统可以使身体健康的人或身体有残障的人能够执行使用他们自己的力量无法完成的任务。如现有专利第201380064944.9号,其揭示了一种刚性外骨骼支架,该支架的结构提供了大腿连杆、小腿连杆、脚部连杆配合人体耦合的支架结构。但是,现有的刚性可穿戴设备在配合人体行动和移动效率提高方面存在以下缺陷:(1)因设备关节无法和人体关节在运动之间的对齐失准而导致设备与生物关节之间存在干涉;(2)因设备自由度对少于人体下肢关节的自由度而导致生物关节的运动自由度受到约束;(3)因未被设备本身完全控制和补偿的较大重量和惯量而导致用户在穿戴设备时需要付出额外的能耗带动部分设备。同时较沉重较大的设备结构也使得此类全腿刚性的外骨骼设备很难在日常生活场景中被使用。
目前,有些柔性外骨骼设备利用轻质柔性体材料来制成以减小对生物关节的约束并提供关节助力。此类设备提出了一种给予关节助力的更轻便的解决方案。但是这些柔性外骨骼设备依赖于用户的皮肤表面提供切向力作为为辅助关节助力的反作用力。也就是说,这些设备在一侧向用户的肢体关节提供辅助力,而在另一侧向用户的皮肤表面施加与皮肤表面相切的 切向力,这些切向力导致用户的皮肤表面被揉搓、挤压,并因此造成用户不适。而且,当用户的皮肤松弛、肌肉刚度不够从而导致难以提供足够大的切向力作为辅助力的反作用力时,这些设备将不能提供足够的辅助力。
因此,亟需一种能够提供轻便、简易穿戴、调节方便或不对用户的关节造成约束的外骨骼支架,在提供下肢辅助的同时不依赖于用户的皮肤表面提供切向力的可穿戴辅助的支架,以用于提高用户的日常行动能力和行动效率。

磁块2044、2047为磁性相吸的磁铁。
通过柔性牵引线缆(未标号)的向上牵引力驱动下支架做平面内的背屈和跖屈旋转运动,实现助力下肢运动功能康复。
该外骨骼支架不超过人体的膝盖。柔性牵引线缆通过上支架10和下支架20的线缆安装部固定安装,当牵引线缆受到向上的牵引力时,牵引线缆拉动下支架20的脚后跟支撑臂203旋转的向上运动,从而带动整体下支架及固定于下支架上人体的脚向上运动,为人体的小腿、脚部向上抬起运动提供助力。在往上运动的过程中,旋转部80的扭簧82受到下支架20向上旋转产生扭力,当牵引线缆停止继续提供牵引力,且扭簧82的扭力大于牵引力时,扭簧82向下支架20通过积蓄的扭力,给下支架20提供向下的压力,带动下支架向下旋转运动,如图10所示,为本发明中,因使用过程中而产生的各种反作用力,F1为向上的摩擦力,F2为向内的压力,F3为向下的牵引力。
本发明通过设置弯曲的上支架结构,降低了支架的整体结构的高度,位于膝盖下方的上支架结构,与人体的配合更好,在人体小腿的侧面无部件,减少了碰撞的可能性,在佩戴时不影响其他活动,增强了佩戴的体验感和舒服度。
本发明通过的X结构的上支架通过一体成型,减少了各部件间的连接,提升了整体结构的强度;同时可以通过将上、下的内外侧支架做得更细更小,同样达到对力的承受,减少材料,降低重量,降低成本;同时X形状结构是对称性的,在支架上产生的力和通过支架提供 的助力是对称的,达到了更好均衡助力的作用。X结构的上支架交叉点的本体提供了其他部件如牵引线缆和/或传输线、传感器、处理器、控制器等部件的安装固定平台,将其他部件都集合安装在本体上,外骨骼设备的牵引线缆和/或传输线通过该X结构的本体连接固定定位,使得牵引线缆和/或传输线位于小腿的后方,使得整体外骨骼支架的结构更紧凑、简洁。
本发明通过仿生踝关节运动原理,将柔性牵引线缆排布在人体小腿的后侧,通过扭簧实现背屈的助力,可以简化结构,有利于牵引力的传导,优于排布在小腿的两侧。
本发明通过腿部绑带将上支架固定在人体小腿上,并将牵引线缆固定在支架上由支架吸收牵引线缆的反作用力,避免了牵引线缆的反作用力直接作用于小腿上而伤害到人体腿部,同时,应用柔软的腿部绑带相结合减少牵引线缆的反作用力对腿部的伤害,增加舒适度。腿部绑带的调节部使得绑带可以按照用户的小腿尺寸调节大小,满足了不同尺寸的用户的需求;腿部绑带的磁力扣结构,方便了用户穿戴时紧固及拆卸的方便性和安全性。
本发明通过线缆安装部的磁铁及上下部快速释放连接器快速安装、拆卸牵引线缆,方便用户操作使用,使得在运输过程中,可以方便的将支架和辅助外骨骼设备控制器、线缆分开包装运输,减少运输过程中因线缆和支架连在一起而导致设备损耗、线缆容易受损、折损,提供运输过程中的安全性,延长设备的使用寿命。
本发明的脚部采用脚跟连接盖板、脚部绑带、脚跟绑带结构定位下支架,有效的防止人体脚部在下支架上的前、后、左、右的移位挪动,防止下支架松脱,确保使用过程中的安全性和稳定性。脚部绑带的调节部使得绑带可以按照用户的鞋子尺寸调节大小,满足了不同尺寸的用户的需求;脚部绑带的磁力扣结构连接方式,方便了用户穿戴及拆卸的方便性和安全性。
下支架后侧定位采用脚跟连接盖板,放在脚的跟腱处对人体产生影响较小。定位采用的脚跟连接盖板的上边沿和鞋子针织物与鞋底的连接的缝隙齐平,当连接盖板由于外力需要向前挤压鞋子时,所有的力量传导到鞋底上而不是直接顶着用户后跟,极大提高用户舒适度。
下支架前端定位采用可调节的脚部绑带,脚部绑带越靠近脚的前端越能很好的起到定位作用,如果将脚部绑带放置在脚趾位置,在运动时,会影响脚趾活动度和舒适度,影响使用效果,将脚部绑带位置向后移动定位在脚趾关节处后方为优选方案。
脚部底面,采用脚跟绑带和下肢架上的支撑片,限制支架的Z向自由度。脚跟绑带结构替代现有的下支架台阶结构如脚跟底面采用硬性结构,使用者会有明显触感,影响使用舒适度;下支架支撑片位置越靠近前端限位效果越好,同时在扭簧作用时所承受的力最小,但考 虑到在工作状态下脚趾具有一定的活多度,不是特别好承受力量大的部分,包括考虑到鞋子的形状结构,影响使用效果,因此,优选下支架支撑片限位结构放置在靠近脚趾关节处。
