External fixation system |
摘要 |
An external fixation system comprising: first and second planar at least part-circular ring elements, the first ring element having a circumferential track extending along the part-circular circumference thereof; a plurality of struts each having a first and second end, the first end of each strut coupled to the first ring by a first connector and the second end of each strut coupled to a second ring by a second connector, the first connector including a spherical joint; the second connector non-rotatably coupled to the second ring, the strut second end being coupled to the second connector by a U-joint; shuttles mounted on the track of the first ring for movement there along with one shuttle coupled to each strut; and means for controlling the angular position of each strut second end and means for controlling the position of each shuttle along the circumferential track on the first ring. |

1. An external fixation system comprising:
a first platform having at least a circular portion; a second platform; a plurality of non-prismatic kinematic chains having a first end connected to the first platform and a second end connected to the second platform, each kinematic chain including: a first revolute joint; a second revolute joint, the first and second revolute joints respectively rotatable about first and second perpendicular axes together forming a universal joint; a third revolute joint mounted on the first platform and connected to the first revolute joint and adapted to revolve around a circumference of the circular portion of the first platform; a spherical joint coupled to the second platform; and means for rotating the second revolute joint about the second axis of the universal joint and for moving the third revolute joint along the first platform. |
