Problems solved by technology

At present, a hydraulic bionic ankle has been produced in the UK, which can realize the adaptation of the ankle joint angle of going up / down stairs or up / downhill, but the damping force of this kind of ankle joint is fixed and cannot adapt to the needs of patients with different weights. personalized settings
Recently, Iceland has also launched an electric ankle prosthetic foot to automatically adapt to walking on different slopes. This kind of prosthetic foot has a complex structure, requires batteries and provides energy for a limited time, and is expensive.

Abstract

The invention relates to a terrain self-adaptive biomimetic ankle device comprising a crus dry interface seat, a hydraulic cylinder connecting sleeve and a rotary micro hydraulic cylinder; liquid cylinder sealing plates are arranged on two sides of the rotary micro hydraulic cylinder; oil liquid is filled in the rotary micro hydraulic cylinder; an inner cavity of the rotary micro hydraulic cylinder is a sectional main chamber; the middle at the lower end of the sectional main chamber is connected with a piston rotating shaft fixedly connected with a rotary hydraulic piston by which the sectional main chamber is divided into a left chamber and a right chamber; the left chamber and the right chamber are respectively communicated with a plantar flexion pipeline and a dorsal flexure pipeline; and a plantar flexion damping system and a dorsal flexure damping system which are arranged at the bottom of the rotary micro hydraulic cylinder are respectively arranged in the plantar flexion pipeline and the dorsal flexure pipeline. The human ankle rotation can be simulated by using the rotary hydraulic piston to rotate in the hydraulic cylinder round a rotating center; meanwhile, the stability of the ankle at any angle can be kept by using a damping force generated by the flowing of oil liquid between the left chamber and the right chamber through a needle valve.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a prosthetic foot bionic ankle joint device based on a rotary micro-hydraulic cylinder, in particular to a rotary micro-hydraulic cylinder for simulating the movement of the human ankle joint, and a bionic ankle joint device that can adjust the ankle joint according to different patient weights and paces. Joint damping force, so as to adapt to the ankle joint damping adjustment mechanism of different terrains with the best stability and flexibility. Background technique [0002] According to the results of the second national sampling survey of disabled people in 2006, the number of physically disabled people in my country has reached more than 24 million, of which more than 2 million are amputees. Especially in recent years, the number of amputations due to car accidents, industrial accidents, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases is still on the rise. Therefore, the rehabilitation of a large number of amputees puts forward ur...
