A kind of exoskeleton robot shoulder joint design method based on four-bar mechanism
Technical field
The present invention relates to exoskeleton robot technical field more particularly to a kind of ectoskeleton machines based on four-bar mechanism
People's shoulder joint design method.
Background technology
Shoulders of human body is complicated, in series by clavicle, shoulder blade and humerus.Humerus can be around shoulder joint along three
Degree of freedom flexible rotating, and shoulder joint itself is also supported by clavicle, can be moved in two degree of freedom around articulatio sternoclavicularis.
By taking the body of right side as an example, attached drawing 1 illustrates skeletal structure more than shoulders of human body.By breastbone, articulatio sternoclavicularis 101,
The series connection articulated chain that clavicle 102, shoulder blade 103, shoulder joint 104, humerus 105 are formed is the basic support construction of upper extremity exercise.
This structure can approx be reduced to attached rod-shaped model shown in Fig. 2, and it is secondary with two can be reduced to one for wherein articulatio sternoclavicularis 201
The bulb joint of a rotary freedom, clavicle 202 are reduced to a straight-bar, and shoulder joint 204, which can then be reduced to a pair, to be had
The bulb joint of three rotary freedoms, humerus 205 are then reduced to ball joint-rotating of the straight-bar around shoulder joint.Clavicle 202 can
With around articulatio sternoclavicularis 201 it is front and rear, swing up and down.Humerus 205 can around be swung around shoulder joint 204, can also be around itself
Axis is inside and outside to be rotated.
Ectoskeleton is a kind of special wearable anthropomorphic robot, its design is different with common anthropomorphic robot.
When designing common anthropomorphic robot, the considerations of for function and cost, often assume shoulder joint itself relative to trunk
It is stationary, thus has ignored the presence of clavicle and shoulder blade intentionally, therefore the abduction of humerus, interior receive move such as attached drawing
As being shown in 3.However the joint of exoskeleton robot needs to follow the limb motion of wearing personnel, therefore ectoskeleton machine
The shoulder joint of device people needs the clavicle movement for coordinating people.The shoulder joint kinesitherapy track of human body is actually feelings as shown in Figure 4
Condition, while humerus abduction, clavicle can be lifted naturally.This means that it needs to add one section of machinery knot parallel with clavicle
Structure.If be directly transformed completely in accordance with structoure of the human body, each degree of freedom is required for increasing a set of motor, encoder, sensor
With deceleration device.Complete machine cost can significantly rise, and weight can also increase very much.But if not adding any structure completely can make again
It is limited into shoulder mobility, influences the comfort level of wearer and robot motion's range.
If in conclusion being fixed clavicle when designing ectoskeleton, wearer's shoulder in hand abduction has
Apparent constriction, arm lifting range can also be very limited, and worn for long periods can possibly even lead to shoulder lesion.If
It is individually for clavicle and adds a set of power plant, then cost significantly improves, and weight increases, complicated to be difficult to process and assemble.
