Abstract
Proposed is a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, and more particularly to a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, of which a structure is concise and simple, and in which a footrest on which a trainee can put his/her foot has the minimum height to allow the trainee to easily enter and readily use the robot without any separate entry means for entry of the trainee and is placed at an entry side for the trainee to raise a gait training effect and reduce a collision risk.
Claims6
A gait rehabilitation robot comprising:
- a weight supporter including an elevator connected to a vertical supporter and configured for moving up and down, and a seat connected to the elevator;
- and
- a pair of walk actuators disposed at opposite sides with respect to the weight supporter with an interval therebetween for gait training of a trainee, each of the pair of walk actuators comprising a footrest, a footrest supporter to which the footrest is connected, and a footrest actuator configured to actuate the footrest and the footrest supporter,
- wherein the footrest actuator comprises a supporter rotation actuator configured to perform rotational movement of the footrest supporter, a footrest rotation actuator configured to perform rotational movement of the footrest, and a translatory actuator configured to perform translatory movement of the footrest supporter, the translatory actuator including a transfer mechanism to which the footrest supporter is connected and a transfer actuator configured to apply an actuating force to the transfer mechanism,
- wherein the rehabilitation robot further comprises a pair of actuator hanging members disposed at opposite sides with respect to the weight supporter with an interval therebetween to form lateral walls to hang and support the transfer mechanism,
- wherein the transfer mechanism comprises a plurality of guide rails coupled to an inner side of the respective lateral wall to be spaced apart up and down from each other and extending in a translatory direction, a slider connected to the plurality of guide rails and configured to move by the actuating force applied from the transfer actuator, and a transfer base on which the slider and the footrest supporter are disposed,
- wherein the transfer base comprises a vertical base to which the slider is coupled, and a horizontal base disposed perpendicularly to a lower portion of the vertical base, the footrest supporter being rotatably coupled to the supporter rotation actuator disposed on the horizontal base, and
- wherein the footrest supporter is connected to the transfer mechanism and the footrest is mounted on the footrest supporter, and a front end of the footrest supporter is placed inside an entry space for allowing a wheelchair or the trainee to enter so that the footrest is disposed toward an entrance of the entry space formed between the pair of actuator hanging members.
