Definitions
- the invention relates to a swing phase control for an artificial knee joint with a cylinder which is closed at one end with a head part and at the other end with a foot part, and with a piston which can be moved back and forth in the axial direction and which has an outward bore through a hole in the head part guided piston rod for connection to a thigh part of a prosthesis and a first space on the head part side bounded by the piston and a second part on the foot part side.
- the object of the invention is to provide a swing phase control of the type described at the outset which is suitable for extreme walking conditions and which enables a pleasant sequence of movements in all conditions.
- the throttle channel is preferably provided in the interior of the piston rod, which simplifies the construction.
- the cylinder comprises an outer cylinder wall and at a distance therefrom an inner cylinder wall to form an annular chamber.
- the annular chamber is connected to the second space via a recess.
- the piston slides inside the cylinder space delimited by the inner cylinder wall.
- An annular piston spring-biased in the direction of the recess slides in the annular chamber. This ensures that the volume of the immersing piston rod is equalized and that the control reacts to the different stresses when the knee is bent and extended so that a natural sequence of movements is achieved.
- Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a first embodiment
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment
- Fig. 3 is a view of an enlarged section of the second embodiment
- the device comprises an outer cylinder jacket 1 which is delimited by a head part 2 at its head-side free end and by a foot part 3 at its foot-side end.
- the connection is made in the manner indicated in the figure in each case by screwing the head and foot sections into the provided internal thread.
- a corresponding seal 4, 5 is provided.
- an inner cylinder wall 6 is provided on the inside, the ends of which are inserted tightly in the head part or foot part.
- the outer cylinder wall 1 and the inner cylinder wall 6 enclose an annular chamber 7.
- the inner cylinder wall 6 has 8 bores 8.
- An annular piston 9 is slidably disposed in the annular chamber. This is in the manner shown in the figure via a pressure spring 10 acting on the one hand on the head part 2 and on the other hand on the annular piston stanchions 8 towards spring-loaded basic position.
- a piston 13 carried by a piston rod 12 is provided in the interior of the cylinder enclosed by the inner cylinder wall 6.
- the piston 13 separates inner space in the cylinder into a first space 15 on the head part side and a second space 16 on the foot part side by means of suitable seals 14.
- the second space 16 is connected via the bores 8 to the space of the annular chamber 7 adjoining it.
- the piston rod 12 is guided to the outside via a coaxial bore in the head part 2 and has an eyelet at its free end for connection to a thigh part of a prosthesis.
- the piston rod 12 is slidably mounted in the coaxial bore.
- the first space 15 is sealed by seals 17.
- the piston rod 12 has a coaxial bore 18 in the section of the piston and in the region adjoining it on both sides.
- throttle bores 19, 20 are provided on both sides in the axial direction, which connect the first space 15 and the second space 16 to the bore 18 and together form a throttle channel.
- a slide 21 is provided in the interior of the bore 18.
- This has a piston rod 22 which has a first piston 23 sliding in the bore 18 near its one end and a second piston 24 sliding in the bore 18 near its other end. The distance between the two pistons is so large that the pistons each limit the throttle bore 19 and 20 and the space between them, that is, the throttle channel.

- the first chamber 15 is connected via a bore 29 which has a negligible or only a low flow resistance, while the second space 16 and the second prestressing space 28 are connected to one another via a corresponding bore 30 which has a negligible or only a low flow resistance.
- the foot part 3 has, in a known manner, bores 31 extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis for connection to a lower leg part.
- the cylinder interior is filled on both sides of the piston 13 with hydraulic fluid.
- FIG. 1 shows the position of the servohydraulic swing phase control, in which the knee joint is bent over a longer period of time and an equilibrium has been established.
- the piston rod 12 is pulled outward in the direction opposite the arrow 32 and the piston 13 is thus slowly moved into its end position as far as the stop against the head part 2.
- the pressure in the first space 15 initially increases, while the pressure in the second space 16 decreases.
- the pressure in the first preload chamber 27 now becomes greater than that in the second preload chamber 28, with the result that the slide 21 moves in the direction of the foot part and initially closes the throttle bore adjacent to the first piston 23.
- the result of this is that a considerable spring force builds up in the first space 15, which dampens the stretching movement.
- the swing phase control has an outer cylinder wall 101 which is delimited by a head part 102 at its head-side free end and by a foot part 103 at its foot-side end.

- the basic position is defined by the ring 145.
- the angle of the conical end section 163 is preferably between 1 ° - 5 °;
- the angle of the conical end section 163 is preferably chosen to be as small as possible and the length of the conical end section 163 is as long as possible.
- the angle 2 ° and the length 10 mm are even more preferred.

- a second cylindrical section with a diameter adjoins the first section.
- a circular stop plate 150 adjoins an end assigned to the second section of the second stop cylinder 147.
- the plate plane of the stop plate 150 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder and a diameter of the stop plate is larger than the diameter of the second section.
- a slot for a screwdriver is provided at another end of the second stop cylinder.
- a slide 121 designed as a hollow cylinder is slidably provided on the protruding section of the second stop cylinder 147.
- the slider 121 has a first end and a second end.
- the second end has a conical shape that matches the conical section of the cylinder bore 118.
- a second throttle duct 151 is formed between the conical shape of the second end of the slide 121 and the conical section of the second cylinder bore 118 (see FIG. 3).
- an upper Position of the slider 121 set. In the upper position, the cross section of the second throttle duct 151 is minimal.
- a lower position of the slide 121 is defined by the second stop cylinder 147 with the stop plate 150 and the second end of the slide 121. In the lower position, the cross section of the second throttle duct 151 is at a maximum.
- An opening 155 with a check valve 154 is arranged in the piston 113.
- the opening 155 connects the first space 115 to the second cylinder bore 118.
- the check valve 154 has a ball connected to a spring. The ball is pressed by the spring against the opening 155 and closes the opening.
- the check valve 154 opens to the first space 115.
- a second annular piston 109 slidably arranged in the annular chamber 107 i. .
- This is prestressed in the manner shown in FIG. 2 into a basic position directed towards the foot part 103 via a pressure spring 110 acting on the one hand on the head part 102 and on the other hand on the second annular piston 109.
- the additional volume of the immersed piston rod 112 is received in the annular chamber 107.
- the foot part 103 has, in a known manner, bores (not shown here) extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis for connection to a lower leg part of the prosthesis.
- the head part 102 and the socket 108 have a closable third channel 166, which extends at one end into the first space 115 and which extends outwards at its other end.
- the inside of the cylinder is filled with a hydraulic fluid.
- the rod 160 is unscrewed from the foot part and is 166 at the other end of the third channel a vacuum pump connected. Then the hydraulic fluid is filled through the cylinder portion 165. The rod 160 is then screwed into the foot part 103 and the third channel 166 is closed.
- FIG. 2 shows the position of the swing phase control, in which the knee joint is bent over a longer period of time and an equilibrium has been established.
- the piston rod 112 is pulled outward in the opposite direction to the arrow 132 and the piston 113 is thus moved into its end position as far as the stop on the bushing 108.
- the pressure in the first space 115 increases first, while the pressure in the second space 116 decreases. This has the consequence that the slide 121 moves in the direction of the foot part 103 until it is in the lower position.
- the hydraulic fluid flows from the first space 115 through the bores 148 and through the first throttle channel 151 into the second space 116.
- the bores 148 are covered in sequence by the bushing 108, as a result of which the flow resistance between the first room 115 and the second room 116 increased. This gently brakes the stretching movement until the leg is fully extended. Due to the check valve 157, no pressure difference can build up between the second space 116 and the annular chamber 107 and the cylinder section 165 during the stretching movement.
- the piston 113 with the piston rod 112 is then moved downward again in the direction of the arrow 132. Since all bores 148 are covered by the bushing 108 at the beginning of the return movement, the check valve 154 initially opens and enables the return movement to begin. Now a considerable overpressure is formed in the second space 116 on the one hand and on the other hand the first ring piston 142 is pressed back against the first spring 144 and the second ring piston 109 against the second spring 110. Furthermore, the slide 121 becomes the upper one against the direction of movement Position moves, whereby the minimum cross section of the second throttle channel 151 is established.
- the pressures in rooms 115 and 116 equalize via throttle channels 151, 152.
- the pressure difference between the second space 116 and the cylinder section 165 and the annular chamber 107 is so great that the first annular piston 142 is moved against the first spring 144 in the direction of the foot part 103, so that the Cross section of the first throttle duct 152 is minimal or, with the appropriate setting by the rod 160, the first throttle duct 152 is completely closed. This suddenly creates an increased damping resistance.
- the rod 160 By turning the rod 160, the rod 160 is moved in the axial cylinder direction and thus the maximum cross section of the first throttle channel 152 changes. This makes it possible to determine the immersion speed of the first piston 113, from which the damping changes noticeably.
- the maximum and minimum cross section of the second throttle duct 151 is set by rotating the stop cylinders 146 and 147.
- the slider 121 provided with its upper and lower position ensures that the forces which act differently in the flexion and extension of the knee joint are compensated for, and thus a uniform movement sequence is guaranteed.
- the spirally arranged bores 148 ensure that the knee joint is gently braked when the extension is fully extended.
