Description

생체신호센서와 연동하는 이동식 보조 보행장치{Omitted}[0001] The present invention relates to a portable walking assistant device,

본 발명은 생체신호센서와 연동하는 이동식 보조 보행장치에 관한 것으로서, 보행이 불편한 환자의 체중을 지지해 줌과 동시에 환자의 신체에 부착된 생체신호센서들로부터 수집된 정보로부터 환자의 움직임을 예측하여 원하는 보행방향으로 이동하여 보행을 보조해 주는 생체신호센서와 연동하는 이동식 보조 보행장치에 관한 것이다.
[0001] The present invention relates to a portable walking assist device for interlocking with a bio-sensor, which supports a body weight of a patient who is uncomfortable in walking and predicts a patient's movement from information collected from bio- And moving in a desired walking direction to interlock with a living body signal sensor to assist walking.

보행보조장치는 거동이 불편하거나 직립하기가 힘든 환자의 보행을 동력을 가지는 장치에 의해 보조해 주는 장치이다. 스스로 걷기 힘든 환자를 전동휠체어와 같이 환자가 앉은 상태에서 환자를 원하는 방향으로 이동시켜 줄 수 있다. 그러나 전동휠체어는 재활이 필요한 환자에게 보행 운동의 효과가 전혀 없고 단순히 환자를 이송하는 수단으로만 사용된다. 또, 환자의 보행을 보조해주기 위해서 환자가 팔로 지지대를 잡은 상태에서 지지대의 하부에 설치된 이동바퀴를 구동시켜 환자가 보다 용이하게 보행을 보조 받는 장치도 있다. 이러한 장치는 환자가 자신의 체중을 지지할 만큼 팔에 힘이 없는 경우에는 활용이 불가는한 경우가 발생한다.A walking aiding device is a device that assists the walking of a patient who is inconvenient or difficult to stand by a device having power. Patients who are difficult to walk themselves can be moved in the desired direction with the patient sitting, such as an electric wheelchair. However, motorized wheelchairs have no effect on gait for patients who need rehabilitation, and are simply used as a means of transporting patients. In order to assist the patient in walking, there is a device in which the patient is assisted in walking more easily by driving the moving wheel installed on the lower part of the support while the patient is holding the support with the arm. Such a device may not be utilized if the arm is not strong enough to support the patient's weight.

다른 예로, 천장에 레일을 달고 레일에 연결된 착용형 지지부에 신체의 체중을 분산시켜 보행을 보조하는 장치도 있다. 그러나 이러한 그 레일에 종속되어 운동을 유도하는 시스템은 보행자가 원하는 방향으로 이동을 하지 못하는 단점을 가진다.
As another example, there is a device that assists walking by distributing the weight of the body to a wearable support that attaches a rail to the ceiling and is connected to the rail. However, the system that induces the motion dependent on such a rail has a drawback that the pedestrian can not move in a desired direction.

본 발명은 상기의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 적어도 사람의 키보다 큰 프레임에 착용자의 체중을 덜어줄 수 있는 착용부를 설치하고, 프레임의 하부에는 전동바퀴를 설치하여 이동을 용이하게 하고, 사람의 신체에 생체신호를 감지할 수 있는 센서를 부착하여 센서들로 수집된 정보로부터 사람의 이동방향을 예측하여 전동바퀴의 구동과 착용부에 가해지는 힘을 조절하여 보행자의 보행을 보다 자연스럽게 도와줄 수 있는 생체신호센서와 연동하는 이동형 보행보조장치를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been conceived to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a wearer which can relieve a weight of a wearer at least on a frame larger than a person's height, By attaching a sensor that can detect a bio-signal to the body of a person, it predicts the direction of movement of people from the information collected by the sensors and adjusts the driving force of the electric wheel and the force applied to the wearer, The present invention provides a mobile type walking assist device which is interlocked with a bio-signal sensor capable of providing a living body.
