A passive upper limb-assisted exoskeleton device that can realize human energy transfer

Abstract

The invention discloses a passive upper limb power-assisted exoskeleton device capable of realizing energy transfer of the human body, which includes a shoulder panel assembly, and a human air compressor is respectively arranged on both sides of the shoulder panel assembly, and the human air compressor is fixed to the shoulder panel assembly through a sleeve. , the two sides of the front of the shoulder vest assembly are respectively provided with pneumatic muscles, the lower end of the pneumatic muscles is fixed by the forearm buckle and the forearm sleeve, the back of the shoulder vest assembly is provided with a back bracket, and the back bracket is provided with an air pressure control system, the air pressure control system They are respectively connected with the pneumatic muscles, the human air compressor and the pressure-sensitive device of the hand, and the pressure-sensitive device of the hand, the human air compressor and the shoulder vest are respectively fixed and worn on the palm, upper arm and shoulder by straps or buckles. The invention has no external energy supply, can rely on the energy of the human body to realize the assist function, has a simple structure, is light in weight, and can work in 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 perform rehab exercises. 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 Californi...
