Passive upper limb assistance exoskeleton device capable of achieving human body energy migration

Abstract

The invention discloses a passive upper limb assistance exoskeleton device capable of achieving human body energy migration. The passive upper limb assistance exoskeleton device comprises shoulder assemblies, manual air compressors are arranged on the two sides of each shoulder assembly, and the manual air compressors are fixed to the shoulder assemblies through sleeves. Pneumatic muscles are arranged on the two sides of the front faces of the shoulder assemblies, and the lower ends of the pneumatic muscles are fixed with front arm sleeves through front arm supports. A back support is arrangedon the back portions of the shoulder assemblies, and an air pressure control system is arranged on the back support. The air pressure control system is connected with the pneumatic muscles, the manual air compressors and hand pressure sensing devices, and the hand pressure sensing devices, the manual air compressors, and the shoulder assemblies are fixedly put on the palms, the upper arms and theshoulders of a user through binding belts or tying buckles. The passive upper limb assistance exoskeleton device is free of external energy supply, can achieve the assistance function through self energy of a human body, and is simple in structure, low in weight and capable of working under any environment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rehabilitation physiotherapy auxiliary equipment, and in particular relates to a passive upper limb power-assisted exoskeleton device capable of realizing energy transfer of a human body. Background technique [0002] The upper limb power-assisted exoskeleton is a wearable human-machine integrated intelligent power-assisted device for enhancing the upper limb function. It is widely used in military, industrial production and medical rehabilitation to help soldiers, workers, nurses, the elderly and the disabled Lift heavy weights or do rehab. Therefore, it is of great significance to design and develop power-assisted exoskeleton robots. [0003] In 1960, GE General Corporation of the United States first designed the "Hardiman" exoskeleton "Hardiman" driven by a hydraulic hybrid drive upper limb, which can increase the wearer's strength by 25 times. Subsequently, the University of California developed a h...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a passive upper limb power-assisted exoskeleton device that can realize energy transfer of the human body, which can collect and store energy during the arm swing process and transfer and release energy to the pneumatic muscles when lifting heavy objects. Assist the wearer to lift heavy objects, overcome the main technical problems of the existing active upper limb assisted exoskeleton devices such as complex structure, heavy weight, and limited working range by power supply
