The invention relates to an active and passive combined variable-instantaneous-center flexible-
rope-driving lower extremity
exoskeleton robot and a control method. The active and passive combined variable-instantaneous-center flexible-
rope-driving lower extremity
exoskeleton robot includes a control box (I), a
waist structure (II), a
knee joint mechanism (III), a shank part (IV) and an
ankle jointmechanism (V). Control elements are disposed in the control box (I), and the
waist structure (II) includes a back plate, a battery, a drive, a
lumbar support, a
waist and back flexible joint, a hip joint and a
thigh connector, wherein a
clutch is added to the drive part to realize the active and passive combination. The
knee joint mechanism (III) is of a rolling
cam variable-instantaneous-centerstructure and connected with thighs and shanks. The shank part (IV) includes supporting shanks and flexible straps, and the length can be adjusted. The
ankle joint mechanism (V) is connected with theshanks. A variable-instantaneous-center mechanism of the active and passive combined variable-instantaneous-center flexible-
rope-driving lower extremity
exoskeleton robot has high bionic properties and can adapt to
human body movement; the structure is simple, and the
mass is small; the active and passive conversion can be realized, and the flexibility is high; the flexible rope drive is safe andreliable; and the flexible straps are comfortable to wear through inner lining design.
