Wearable hip joint flexible power-assisting outer clothes

Abstract

The invention relates to wearable hip joint flexible power-assisting outer clothes. The wearable hip joint flexible power-assisting outer clothes comprise a backpack assembly, an outer clothes body, two driving units and a gait detecting unit. When a human body wears the flexible power-assisting outer clothes, power assisting of backward-stretching movement of a hip joint is achieved during walking. Shoulders bear the backpack assembly through two straps. The outer clothes body is composed of two leg ring belts and two traction fabric belts, wherein the leg ring belts are attached to the surfaces of normal clothes, and the traction fabric belts are worn on the rear sides of thighs. According to a signal of the gait detecting unit, the driving units conduct traction power-assisting on the hip joint of the human body through the traction fabric belts; the two driving units are placed on the lower portion of the backpack assembly side by side; and each driving unit comprises a fabric belt curling module, traction power-assisting of the backward-stretching movement of the hip joint of the human body is achieved, the required acting force and torque when the thighs make the backward-stretching movement are reduced and shared, accordingly energy consumption of corresponding muscles of the human body is reduced, and power assisting of walking movement of the human body is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power-assisted garment, in particular to a wearable and flexible power-assisted garment robot. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, the development of lower extremity exoskeletons has become more and more mature, especially in the field of orthopedics and rehabilitation. However, there are relatively few studies on lower extremity assisting exoskeletons for healthy people. At the same time, the degree of reduction in human metabolic consumption during walking is an important indicator of constant lower limb power-assisted exoskeleton. Different from the power-assisted exoskeleton, the present invention intends to develop a set of hip joint flexible power-assisted outerwear, which is light in weight and small in size, and belongs to a portable flexible wearable robot. The hip joint flexible power-assisted garment can be worn for a long time, and it is used for long-distance weight-bearing walking and continuous load-bearin...
