发明名称 Swing phase control for an artificial lower limb
摘要 A hydraulic swing phase control unit for an artificial lower limb including a thigh part and a shin part connected at a knee joint, includes a hydraulic cylinder connected to one of the thigh part and the shin part, a piston movable in the hydraulic cylinder and connected to the other of the thigh part and the shin part, a fluid passage positioned to pass hydraulic fluid pressurized by movement of the piston in the hydraulic cylinder; and a variable sharp edged orifice at the fluid passage. The variable orifice is formed from a sharp edged orifice and a manually rotatable sleeve positioned to at least partly overlap the orifice. At least one low restriction fluid passage in the cylinder is fluidically connected in parallel with the variable sharp edged orifice to permit minimal resistance to movement of the piston during a portion of the movement thereof.
