An exoskeleton robot mechanical spine structure

Abstract

The invention discloses a mechanical spine structure of exoskeleton robot. The mechanical spine structure of exoskeleton robot comprises an upper support frame (1), a bending length compensation device (13), a mechanical spine (4) and a drive device (9), wherein the upper support frame (1) is provided with shoulder sensor points (14); the bending length compensation device (13) comprises a sliding sleeve (2) and a sliding frame (3); the mechanical spine (4) comprises a plurality of joints (5); the joints (5) are provided with connecting shafts (6), external side steel control rope through holes (7), internal side steel control rope through holes (10) and spine sensor points (12); the drive device (9) is provided with external side steel control ropes (8) and internal side steel control ropes (11). The mechanical spine structure of exoskeleton robot has the advantages that the device can be used for replacing lower limbs of a patient in order to support the body and help the patient to move, meanwhile, the functions of supporting and matching with the back bending can be achieved at the same time, therefore people can bend down freely when wearing the exoskeleton.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of exoskeleton mechanical structures, in particular to a mechanical spine structure of an exoskeleton robot. Background technique [0002] An exoskeleton is a rigid external structure that provides configuration, architecture, and protection to the soft internal organs of living things. Through the ideas generated by the exoskeletons of some insects and animals, scientists have developed a variety of exoskeletons with different functions under the existing technology. In medicine, the application of exoskeleton technology is also tending to be perfected in order to help patients regain the ability of limbs or to help patients move. [0003] Although there are already a large number of exoskeletons at home and abroad, when the exoskeleton is needed to provide support, the upper extremity exoskeleton and the lower extremity exoskeleton are rigidly connected, which cannot adapt to the bending change of the spine shape a...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although there are already a large number of exoskeletons at home and abroad, when the exoskeleton is needed to provide support, the upper extremity exoskeleton and the lower extremity exoskeleton are rigidly connected, which cannot adapt to the bending change of the spine shape and the length of the lateral line when the human body bends over. Changes that cause the human body to be unable to bend over, or have difficulty bending over while wearing an exoskeleton

A flexible or elastic back cannot provide support and drive
