Abstract

Bionic flexible wearable lower limb exoskeleton clothes driven by pneumatic artificial muscle relates to lower limb exoskeleton clothes and solve problems of poor flexibility, undesirable bionic performance and low coordinating degree with human bodies of present lower limb exoskeleton robots. The bionic flexible wearable lower limb exoskeleton clothes comprise a left leg and a right leg and further a suspension vest, wherein the left leg and the right left are individually provided with a hip part driving system, a knee part driving system and a foot part driving system; each hip part driving system is formed by hip joint antexion driving pneumatic artificial muscle, hip joint rear extension pneumatic artificial muscle, a hip joint antexion flexible rope, a hip joint rear extension belt, a hip joint rear extension transition connection flexible rope and a thigh binding belt; and each knee driving system is formed by knee joint antexion driving pneumatic artificial muscle, knee joint rear extension pneumatic artificial muscle, a knee joint antexion belt, a knee joint rear extension flexible rope, a knee joint antexion transition connection flexible rope and a shank binding belt. The bionic flexible wearable lower limb exoskeleton clothes driven by pneumatic artificial muscle is suitable for people wearing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a lower limb exoskeleton suit, in particular to a bionic flexible wearable lower limb exoskeleton suit driven by pneumatic muscles, which belongs to the technical field of robots. Background technique [0002] For the development of human lower extremity exoskeleton robots, the importance of selection and layout of driving links and flexible design has become increasingly prominent. At present, most of the existing exoskeleton designs are mainly driven by motors or hydraulic pressure. This structure will inevitably bring system rigidity, reduce the coordination with the human flexible body, and even cause human injury if used improperly. However, the existing pneumatic lower extremity exoskeleton driving devices are mostly arranged on both sides, which deviates from the centerline of human joint motion. Compared with the driving muscles arranged in front and back of human lower limbs, the coordination and bionicity are greatly ...
