Exoskeleton manipulator and use method

Abstract

The invention relates to an exoskeleton manipulator and a use method. The exoskeleton manipulator comprises a non-thumb transmission mechanism and a thumb transmission mechanism; wherein, the non-thumb transmission mechanism comprises a middle-end knuckle, the upper end of which is articulated with a far end knuckle, the lower end of which is articulated with a near-end knuckle and the back of which is articulated with a middle-end connecting bar; the back of the near-end knuckle is articulated with a near-end connecting bar and a near-end curved bar; the middle-end connecting bar and the near-end connecting bar are jointly connected with an upper round bar by a middle-end curved bar; the near-end curved bar is connected with a lower round bar; the upper round bar and the lower round bar are provided with a pin roll and can slide in a runner of a curved bar guide rail; the exteriors of the upper round bar and the lower round bar are provided with a locking mechanism; the thumb transmission mechanism comprises a thumb side plate connected with the curved bar guide rail; the thumb side plate is provided with a thumb and a thumb retaining member. The exoskeleton manipulator has small volume, simple structure, low construction cost and good handling quality.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a human body activity assisting device, in particular to an exoskeleton manipulator and a use method thereof. Background technique [0002] The elderly, the disabled, and people with motor dysfunction, whose limbs cannot perform actions like normal people or whose limbs are weak, cannot complete their corresponding motor functions. In view of these problems, the existing solutions mainly include myoelectric prosthetic hand and mechanical prosthesis. Myoelectric prosthetic hand is an electric upper limb prosthesis controlled by the human body's myoelectric signal. Movement generates myoelectric signals, which are amplified and used to control micro-motors and drive transmission mechanisms to drive prosthetic hands to move according to human will; mechanical means does not use any microcomputer control, and uses mechanical principles completely. The user only needs to With a very small part of the residual finger, the stretching...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although the above two technologies have been well applied, there are also considerable shortcomings and deficiencies: 1. The products of the two technologies all replace the human body's own hand with an external electromechanical structure after losing the human body's own hand structure. For disabled people who can still do small movements in their hands, the application of the above two technologies must accept the pain of amputation; 2. The above two technologies largely rely on the judgment and reflection of electronic parts to human body movements. The degree of reliability is not as high as that of a purely mechanical structure; 3. The design and manufacturing precision and process are complicated, the cost is high, and it is uneconomical for the general public to use

However, the existing exoskeleton manipulator structure is still relatively complex, the cost is relatively high, and it cannot be popularized and applied on a large scale.
