Description

一种主被动协同助力的上肢外骨骼机器人An upper limb exoskeleton robot with active and passive collaborative assistance

技术领域Technical Field

本发明属于外骨骼机器人技术领域,特别提出一种主被动协同助力的上肢外骨骼机器人。The present invention belongs to the technical field of exoskeleton robots, and particularly proposes an upper limb exoskeleton robot with active and passive collaborative assistance.

背景技术Background Art

自动化技术在制造业、建筑业和医疗保健等领域迅速发展,已在部分场景中取代体力劳动,但仍存在很多需要人工介入的场景,例如航空运输行李搬运、仓库码垛等工作。此类工作场景常常需要搬运的物品特点为体积适中、质量较重,搬运的动作包含弯腰与直立、以及大臂抬举与下放等。作业人员长期在这样的场景下工作易造成肌肉疲劳、体能快速下降等情况,不仅影响作业效率,还会极大增加作业人员患上职业性肌肉骨骼损伤的风险。Automation technology has developed rapidly in the manufacturing, construction, and healthcare industries, and has replaced physical labor in some scenarios, but there are still many scenarios that require human intervention, such as air transport baggage handling and warehouse palletizing. Such work scenarios often require the handling of items that are of moderate size and heavy weight, and the handling movements include bending over and standing upright, as well as raising and lowering the upper arms. Long-term work in such scenarios can easily cause muscle fatigue and rapid decline in physical fitness, which not only affects work efficiency, but also greatly increases the risk of occupational musculoskeletal injuries for workers.

随着机器人和人机协同技术的发展,现有技术中的外骨骼可以有效的辅助人员的作业,但仍存在助力效率和助力范围均无法较好适应变化搬运工况的问题:With the development of robots and human-machine collaborative technology, the exoskeleton in the existing technology can effectively assist personnel in their work, but there are still problems that the power-assisting efficiency and power-assisting range cannot adapt well to the changing handling conditions:

如公开号为CN115107004A公开的一种托举型上肢助力外骨骼,其主要助力部位为上肢,肩部采用电机直驱助力,大臂与小臂之间采用气动助力。能够针对人体肩关节转动中心位置变化进行补偿,降低工人的劳动强度,改善工人的工作舒适性、提高工作效果、提高外骨骼助力效果。但该外骨骼由于电机及其他助力结构主要集中在肩部,在助力过程中将产生额外负担,不利于人体操作,且影响助力效果。For example, a lifting-type upper limb assisting exoskeleton disclosed in publication number CN115107004A mainly assists the upper limbs, with direct motor assistance at the shoulders and pneumatic assistance between the upper and lower arms. It can compensate for the change in the position of the rotation center of the human shoulder joint, reduce the labor intensity of workers, improve the workers' work comfort, improve work results, and improve the assisting effect of the exoskeleton. However, since the motor and other assisting structures of this exoskeleton are mainly concentrated in the shoulders, it will generate additional burden during the assisting process, which is not conducive to human operation and affects the assisting effect.

如公开号为CN113894771A公开的一种主动拉带式上肢助力外骨骼,核心部件为背部的驱动电机、驱动带、以及两侧悬臂,通过背部的驱动电机、以及两侧悬臂配合驱动带的方式为人体上肢提供助力。但该外骨骼由于传动结构的原因,只能在固定方向上对人体上肢助力,无法顺应不同手臂臂展下的助力需求,适用范围较小。For example, an active pull-belt upper limb assist exoskeleton disclosed in publication number CN113894771A has a core component of a drive motor, a drive belt, and cantilevers on both sides, which provides assistance to the upper limbs of the human body through the drive motor on the back and the cantilevers on both sides in cooperation with the drive belt. However, due to the transmission structure, the exoskeleton can only assist the upper limbs of the human body in a fixed direction and cannot meet the assistance requirements under different arm spans, so its application range is relatively small.

The following embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following implementation examples.

如图1所示,本实施例提供的一种主被动协同助力的上肢外骨骼,包括上肢结构、背部连接板2和腰部四连杆机构4。所述上肢结构对称设置在背部连接板2上端两侧,并通过位置可调的卡扣式连接件与背部连接板2相连。腰部四连杆机构4设置在背部连接板2的下端,同样通过可调节位置的卡扣式连接件与背部连接板2相连。所述可调节位置的卡扣式连接件包括卡扣公头和卡扣母头,卡扣公头内设有V形弹簧片;卡扣母头为圆柱形结构,其上沿延伸方向上设有多个凸起,通过V形弹簧片夹紧凸起部分,实现快速卡接。其中,连接上肢结构与背部连接板2之间的可调节位置的卡扣式连接件用于调节肩部尺寸以匹配不同的操作者,连接腰部四连杆机构4与背部连接板2之间的可调节位置的卡扣式连接件用于调节髋部尺寸。As shown in FIG1 , an upper limb exoskeleton with active and passive collaborative assistance provided in this embodiment includes an upper limb structure, a back connecting plate 2 and a waist four-bar linkage 4. The upper limb structure is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper end of the back connecting plate 2, and is connected to the back connecting plate 2 through a position-adjustable snap-on connector. The waist four-bar linkage 4 is arranged at the lower end of the back connecting plate 2, and is also connected to the back connecting plate 2 through an adjustable snap-on connector. The adjustable snap-on connector includes a snap-on male head and a snap-on female head, and a V-shaped spring sheet is arranged in the snap-on male head; the snap-on female head is a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of protrusions are arranged on the upper edge in the extending direction, and the protrusions are clamped by the V-shaped spring sheet to achieve quick clamping. Among them, the adjustable snap-on connector between the upper limb structure and the back connecting plate 2 is used to adjust the shoulder size to match different operators, and the adjustable snap-on connector between the waist four-bar linkage 4 and the back connecting plate 2 is used to adjust the hip size.

上肢结构由肩部平行四边形机构1和大臂助力装置3组成。如图2所示,肩部平行四边形机构包括肩部卡扣式连接件公头101、肩侧固定端块102、平行四边形机构连杆组103、中间连接块104、中间连接杆105、臂侧固定端块106。The upper limb structure is composed of a shoulder parallelogram mechanism 1 and a large arm assist device 3. As shown in FIG2 , the shoulder parallelogram mechanism includes a shoulder snap-on connector male head 101, a shoulder side fixed end block 102, a parallelogram mechanism connecting rod group 103, an intermediate connecting block 104, an intermediate connecting rod 105, and an arm side fixed end block 106.

肩部平行四边形机构1为四连杆机构,包括两个平行四边形连杆组103。为方便描述,将两个平行四边形连杆组103分别称为第一平行四边形连杆组和第二平行四边形连杆组。第一平行四边连杆组的一端端部设有肩侧固定端块102,第二平行四边形连杆组的一端端部设有臂侧固定端106。第一平行四边连杆组的另一端与第二平行四边形连杆组的另一端旋转连接,且连接后,平行于肩侧固定端块102与臂侧固定端块106的平面轴线延长线相交点为平行四边形机构旋转点107。使用时,通过肩部卡扣式连接件对该部分结构尺寸进行调整,实现平行四边形机构旋转点与人体肩部旋转点的匹配。即通过肩部卡扣式连接件对结构中两间之间的距离进行调节,使平行四边形机构与肩侧固定端块102在运动过程中保持空间位置的相对固定,将旋转点的位置设计得与人体肩部旋转点相贴合可以使外骨骼的运动与人体上肢的运动更加顺畅,减少运动过程中刚性结构对人体肩关节的阻碍。The shoulder parallelogram mechanism 1 is a four-bar linkage mechanism, including two parallelogram linkage groups 103. For the convenience of description, the two parallelogram linkage groups 103 are respectively referred to as the first parallelogram linkage group and the second parallelogram linkage group. One end of the first parallelogram linkage group is provided with a shoulder-side fixed end block 102, and one end of the second parallelogram linkage group is provided with an arm-side fixed end 106. The other end of the first parallelogram linkage group is rotatably connected to the other end of the second parallelogram linkage group, and after the connection, the intersection point of the extended lines of the plane axes parallel to the shoulder-side fixed end block 102 and the arm-side fixed end block 106 is the parallelogram mechanism rotation point 107. When in use, the structural dimensions of this part are adjusted by the shoulder snap-on connector to achieve the matching of the parallelogram mechanism rotation point with the human shoulder rotation point. That is, the distance between the two spaces in the structure is adjusted through the shoulder snap-on connector, so that the parallelogram mechanism and the shoulder-side fixed end block 102 can maintain a relatively fixed spatial position during movement. The position of the rotation point is designed to fit the rotation point of the human shoulder, which can make the movement of the exoskeleton and the upper limbs of the human body smoother, reducing the obstruction of the rigid structure to the human shoulder joint during movement.

Flexible cable routing holes are reserved on the intermediate connection block 104 and the arm side fixed end block 106 for line drive conduction.
