Technical Field

The invention relates to the fields of teleoperation, rehabilitation training, man-machine cooperation and the like, in particular to a control handle capable of realizing six-dimensional force measurement and motion state measurement.

Background

In the fields of teleoperation and man-machine cooperation, a device which is simple to manufacture, low in price and high in precision is needed to sense the force application state of a hand of a person in six dimensions of space and measure the motion direction of the hand of an operator, so that the motion intention of the operator is fully estimated. Similarly, in the field of medical rehabilitation, it is also necessary to measure the motion state and force application condition of a patient in real time. At present, the six-dimensional force sensor is used for realizing the requirements in multiple options, but the six-dimensional force sensor is high in cost and limited in installation mode, and cannot measure hand motion state information simultaneously. The related substitute equipment can only realize the measurement function of partial dimensionality and does not meet the measurement requirement of force of six dimensionalities.

Chinese patent publication No. CN 111488060a proposes an interactive handle that measures the hand movement posture of a user by a gyroscope mounted on the top of the handle and uses a vibrator to achieve operational feedback. But the interactive handle only uses a gyroscope to realize the motion pose measurement in the aspect of measurement, and the function of measuring hand strength in operation is not possessed by the application.

Patent publication No. CN111467781A provides a capacitive touch handle based on multi-sensing system and a method for making the same. The handle comprises a cylindrical handle body, a flexible pressure sensor on the outer surface of the handle body, a pull pressure sensor at the top end of the handle, and an inertial measurement unit IMU inside the handle. In the aspect of arm muscle force measurement, the measurement of the force applied to the handle by the human hand is realized by using a pulling pressure sensor at the top end of the handle. However, the handle can only realize the force measurement of the handle in one axial direction, and cannot realize the motion detection of the handle pose state. In order to realize the prediction of the movement intention of a user, the equipment is required to be capable of detecting the direction force borne by the handle and the position and posture of the handle in real time. The handle described in this application clearly does not meet these functional requirements.

The fifth pull/press sensor 20 has one active end connected to the rectangular metal plate 21 fixed to the lower metal plate 22 and the other end connected to the rectangular metal plate 18 fixed to the intermediate metal plate 16 by means of a spherical hinge, the sixth pull/press sensor 25 has one active end connected to the rectangular metal plate 26 fixed to the lower metal plate 22 and the other end connected to the rectangular metal plate 24 fixed to the intermediate metal plate 16 by means of a spherical hinge, and the axes of the two sensors 20 and 25 are perpendicular to each other and the plane formed by the two axes is parallel to the plane formed by the lower metal plate. The three metal cylindrical supports 17, 23, 27 are each fixedly connected between the middle metal plate 16 and the lower metal plate 22 by means of a spherical hinge.

Fig. 5 shows a view of a hooke hinge 12 used in the handle mechanism of the present invention.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view of a method for securing a pull pressure sensor by a spherical hinge for use in the handle mechanism of the present invention.

Fig. 7 and 8 are schematic diagrams illustrating the force and moment applied to the grip body when the grip mechanism of the present invention is in use. For convenience in understanding and calculation, a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system is established by taking the center of the internal rotating shaft of the hooke hinge 12 as an original point, the axis direction of the cylindrical grab handle body is taken as a Z axis, and two axial directions of the internal cross rotating shaft of the hooke hinge 12 are taken as an X axis and a Y axis. The mechanical markers and some distance markers are now explained from top to bottom. Force F_ZIndicating the vertical force on the handle. Torque M₂Representing the torque experienced by the grip about the Z-axis of the coordinate system in the figure. M₁Indicating that the grip is subjected to a torque about the Y-axis of the coordinate system in the figure. F_mIs a torque M₁A pair of equivalent horizontal forces,/₅Is F_mThe arm of action of (1). F_XIndicating that the grip is subjected to a horizontal force parallel to the X-axis of the coordinate axis. l₄The distance between the central axis of the second pull/press sensor 10 and the axis of the grip body is shown. l₃The distance between the axis of the third pull/press sensor 13 and the axis of the grip body is shown. l₂Indicating that the handle is subjected to a force F_XWhen acting, F_XDistance from the X-axis of the illustrated coordinate axis. l₆Indicating the distance of the axis of the fifth pull pressure sensor 20 from the X axis of the coordinate axis shown in the figure.

It can be seen that the forces and moments detected by the fourth pull/press sensor 15 and the third pull/press sensor 13 are orthogonal to each other, so that only one of them, i.e. the third pull/press sensor 13, is considered here. Similarly, the fifth pull pressure sensor 20 and the sixth pull pressure sensor 25 only analyze the operation of the fifth pull pressure sensor 20.

In daily use, the force and moment applied to the handle body of the handle mechanism is one of the following conditions:

1. vertical force along the cylindrical axis of the handle body (see F in FIG. 8)_ZShown);

2. horizontal forces perpendicular to the axis of the handle body (F in fig. 8)_XShown);

3. rotating about X or Y axis at a point on the Z axisTorque, the rotational torque can be equivalently converted into two horizontal forces parallel to each other (e.g. M in FIG. 8)₁And F_mShown);

4. rotational torque about the Z-axis (M in FIG. 8)₂Shown).

These 4 force models are now analyzed in sequence. Hereinafter by F_SXXIn the form of a force applied by the pull pressure sensor (i.e., the amount of force represented by the pull pressure sensor reading) designated by XX.

(1) When the handle is subjected to only a vertical force F as shown in figure 8_ZAt this time, since the base 29 is fixed at the placing position, the force F_ZWill be conducted by the handle body to act on the pull pressure sensor 9, and at the moment, the reading F of the pull pressure sensor with the serial number of 9 is passed_S9Can deduce F_ZSize.

F_S9＝F_Z

(2) When the handle is subjected to a horizontal force F as shown in figure 8_XThen, F is found by analysis_XA torque is generated around the Y axis at the origin O, and the value is set as M_YThe sizes are as follows:

M_Y＝F_X×l₂

torque is applied to the tension and compression force transducer 13, the tension and compression force transducer reading F_S13Comprises the following steps:

F_S13×l₃＝M_Y＝F_X×l₂

i.e. from F_S13Can be pushed to F_XThe size of (2). From the balance of forces, when a force acts on the tension/compression sensor 13, the tension/compression sensor 9 will receive a force with the same magnitude and opposite direction, so that F is the moment_S9The reading of (a) is:

at the same time F_XWill be conducted to act on the tension and compression force sensor 20, and the reading F of the tension and compression force sensor 20 will be displayed_S20Is F_XThe size of (2).

F_S20＝F_X

(3) When the handle is subjected to a torque M1 rotating around the Y axis at a certain point on the Z axis as shown in FIG. 8, the rotating torque can be equivalently converted into two horizontal forces Fm parallel to each other, and the analysis shows that the torque M1 acts on the tension and pressure sensor 13 and the tension and pressure sensor 9.

From the above formula, by F_S13Can be deduced as M₁The size of (2).

F_S13×l₃＝M₁

(4) When the grip is subjected to a rotational torque M about the Z-axis as shown in FIG. 8₂Torque M₂Acting on the pull pressure sensor 10, at which time the reading F of the pull pressure sensor 10_S10Comprises the following steps:

F_S10×l₄＝M₂

is known to pass through F_S10Can be pushed to M₂Size.

The above situations are ideal situations that the handle is only acted by single directional force or moment, which are rare in daily use, and the handle is acted by spatial multi-directional force and moment in most cases. By analyzing the above four cases, it can be found that the 2 nd case, i.e., the case of receiving the horizontal force, causes the pulling and pressing force sensors 13, 9, 20 to receive the force at the same time. When the grip is subjected to a torque rotating about the X or Y axis at a point on the Z axis, it can be seen from the above analysis that the torque is applied to the tension and compression force sensors 13, 9. Handle analysis vertical force F_ZThe reading of the pull pressure sensor 9 needs to be used. Interference between these three conditions will then occur. So that additional analysis is required when the grip is simultaneously subjected to a horizontal force F_XVertical force F_ZAnd torque M₁Time transmissionThe working condition of the sensor.

At this time, the pull/press sensor 13 receives the horizontal force F_XAnd a torque M₁Of which reading F_S13Comprises the following steps:

the tension-pressure sensor 20 is only subjected to the horizontal force F_XEffect of (D), reading F_S20Comprises the following steps:

F₂₀＝F_X

the pull pressure sensor 9 is subjected to a horizontal force F_XVertical force F_ZAnd torque M₁The effect of (a), reading:

the combination of the three formulas can obtain:

F_X＝F_S20

M₁＝l₃×F_S13-F_S20×l₂

F_Z＝F_S9+F_S13

from the above formula, the handle mechanism of the present invention can distinguish the magnitude of each force and moment component in the hybrid force application mode.

Fig. 9 and 10 are schematic views showing the force-receiving movement of the handle mechanism of the present invention in specific use. Fig. 9 shows the specific movement of the handle mechanism when subjected to a horizontal torque, and the horizontal torque M acts to simulate the force applied by the user when using the handle to perform the palm flexion and back extension movements. Because the inside torsional spring 6 that is equipped with of grab handle body comes the upper and lower two parts of connecting the grab handle body, when moment of torsion M acted on grab handle body upper end and grab handle base fixed, can produce relative pivoted displacement between the upper end of grab handle body and the rest of grab handle mechanism, and install in the inside gyroscope attitude sensor 2 of grab handle body upper end and can read information such as horizontal pivoted angle for analysis user's motion intention. Fig. 10 shows the simulation of the forced movement of the handle mechanism during ulnar deviation and rotation movements of the user, and the user has the same influence on the movement of the handle mechanism during ulnar deviation (two horizontal forces Fm) and rotation movements (horizontal force F), so the discussion is unified. When the upper part of the grab handle body is acted by the force Fm or F shown in fig. 10, because the compressed spring with the bottom number of 28 has certain elasticity, the grab handle part above the compressed spring can slightly rotate and deviate along the acting direction of the force or the moment, and the gyroscope attitude sensor 2 arranged in the grab handle body can measure the deviation angle in real time, so as to analyze the movement intention of the user.

In summary, the present invention provides a handle mechanism capable of measuring muscle strength and exercise function of upper limbs. The measuring handle is provided with six tension and pressure sensors, so that the force and motion conditions applied to the handle holding mechanism by a hand can be measured, the component force of the wrist in three spatial coordinate axes and the torque state around the three coordinate axes can be sensed in real time, the magnitude of the force and the torque value in each direction under the complex stress condition can be analyzed, the comprehensive analysis of the force application condition of a user is realized, and the motion state of the hand is sensed in real time, so that the intention of the operator is sensed in all directions.
