Flexible exoskeleton glove system for hand rehabilitation training

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of an upper limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot, and discloses a flexible exoskeleton glove system for hand rehabilitation training. The flexible exoskeleton glove system comprises a finger data collecting glove, a decision driving module and a flexible exoskeleton glove; the finger data collecting glove comprises a first glove main body, a flexible sensor and a wireless sending module; the decision driving module comprises a decision module and a driving module; the decision module comprises a microcontroller and a wireless receiving module connected with the microcontroller; the driving module comprises a module supporting bracket, an air pump and an electrical proportional valve installed on the module supporting bracket commonly; the flexible exoskeleton glove comprises a second glove main body and a flexible bending driver; the flexible bending driver comprises a Kevlar fiber wire, a silicone tube, a glass fiber cloth and a pneumatic sealing joint. In the invention, fingers can be independently moved or coordinately moved, thus the hand rehabilitation training effect and wearing comfort of patients are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of upper limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots, and more specifically relates to a flexible exoskeleton glove system for hand rehabilitation training. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, the aging of the social population is increasing, and the number of people with hemiplegia caused by stroke and other diseases is increasing. At the same time, the number of people with impaired limb motor function caused by accidents such as production accidents and traffic accidents is also increasing year by year. These patients are often unable to take care of themselves due to limb motor dysfunction, which brings a lot of burden to the family and society. Robot-assisted rehabilitation training can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and can conduct real-time quantitative evaluation of the patient's rehabilitation level, and carry out training step by step according to the patient's rehabilitation status.

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The patent with publication number CN105496728A discloses a soft robot glove for rehabilitation of hand motor function. The glove can assist patients with impaired or lost hand motor function in rehabilitation training, but the device has certain disadvantages: 1) It is driven by a motor, and the motor drives the wire rope to move, thereby driving the patient's hand to move, which will generate a large instantaneous load, which may cause secondary injury to the patient; 2) Bowden wire is used, which is only installed on ordinary gloves , it cannot be ensured that the center of the exoskeleton joint always coincides with the patient's hand during rehabilitation training, which will bring some discomfort to the patient and reduce the patient's rehabilitation effect; 3) The entire driving device is mostly rigid components, and the quality is heavy , not conducive to carrying
