  • Patent number: 11701289
    Abstract: A rehabilitation glove based on a bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure, including five bidirectional drivers and a cotton glove. The drivers are fixed to a back of the glove through hook and loop fasteners. Each driver includes a hollow buckling air bag in a continuous bent state, a middle guide layer in a continuous bent state and a hollow stretching air bag. The buckling air bag and the middle guide layer are symmetrically arranged, and the stretching air bag in a straightened state is arranged below the middle guide layer. A novel bidirectional driver of a honeycomb imitating structure is provided, which may provide a patient with rehabilitation training in two degrees of freedom: buckling and stretching. A control algorithm of the bidirectional driver is further provided to perform force control output for the driver, which may better help the patient recover hand functions.

  • Publication number: 20230211504
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an automated calibration system and calibration method for a flexible robot actuator. The calibration system includes a support frame. A visual positioning system, a pressure measuring system and a pneumatic pressure control system are respectively installed on the support frame. The visual positioning system is configured to measure a relative displacement and an angle between two ends of the flexible actuator. The pneumatic pressure control system is configured to charge air into an actuating end of the flexible actuator and measure an input pneumatic pressure of the flexible actuator. The pressure measuring system includes a pressure gauge installed on the support frame through a vertical axis motor system, and the flexible actuator to be calibrated installed on the support frame through a horizontal axis motor system and a rotating motor system.

  • Patent number: 11278464
    Abstract: An exoskeleton finger rehabilitation training apparatus includes a housing. A first motor and a second motor are disposed inside the housing. A direction of an output shaft of the first motor is opposite to a direction of an output shaft of the second motor. The output shaft of the first motor is provided with a first motor gear. A right side of the first motor gear is engaged with a first transmission gear. An edge of the first transmission gear is sequentially connected to an index finger sleeve and a middle finger sleeve that are axially arranged. The output shaft of the second motor is provided with a second motor gear. A right side of the second motor gear is engaged with a second transmission gear. An edge of the second transmission gear is sequentially connected to a pinky sleeve and a ring finger sleeve that are axially arranged.
