Embodiment Construction

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it with reference to the description.

[0031] It should be understood that terms such as "having", "comprising" and "including" used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0032] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a passive energy storage gravity-supported lower limb exoskeleton in this embodiment includes a lumbar support assembly 1 and two lower limb exoskeleton assemblies 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lumbar support assembly 1. Joint movement component 20 is connected with the femoral support rod 21 of the lumbar support component 1, the tibial support rod 23 connected with the femoral support rod 21 through the knee joint movement component 222, and the plantar support connected with the tibial support rod 23 through the ankle joint movement compon...

Abstract

The invention discloses a passive energy-storage-type gravity supporting lower limb exoskeleton. The passive energy-storage-type gravity supporting lower limb exoskeleton comprises a waist supportingassembly and two lower limb exoskeleton assemblies symmetrically arranged at the two sides of the waist supporting assembly; each lower limb exoskeleton assembly comprises a thighbone supporting rod which is connected with the waist supporting assembly through a hip joint movement assembly, a tibia supporting rod which is connected with the thighbone supporting rod through a knee joint movement assembly, a sole supporting plate assembly, a hip joint energy storage assembly, a knee joint energy storage assembly and an ankle joint energy storage assembly, and the sole supporting plate assembly,the hip joint energy storage assembly, the knee joint energy storage assembly and the ankle joint energy storage assembly are connected with the tibia supporting rod through an ankle joint movement assembly. The passive energy-storage-type gravity supporting lower limb exoskeleton is suitable for patients with lower limb dysfunctions or function limitations caused by lower limb joint and muscle tissue injuries or bone diseases, the patients can be assisted in normally walking on the ground and walking up and down stairs, and take care of themselves in daily life, the physiological pain feelingof the patients is reduced, the economic and vigor burden of families of the patients is relieved, and the passive energy-storage-type gravity supporting lower limb exoskeleton has high application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of power-assisted exoskeleton, in particular to a passive energy storage type gravity-supported lower limb exoskeleton. Background technique [0002] Patients with lower limb dysfunction will cause changes in the properties of muscles, tendons and connective tissue due to long-term inability to move the lower limbs, resulting in muscle stiffness and muscle atrophy; occupational musculoskeletal injuries have become an urgent problem for occupational economic compensation and occupational safety and health in Western countries. Occupational musculoskeletal injuries among manual laborers in my country also show a high incidence, with a prevalence rate as high as 20% to 90%, involving industries such as electronics, construction, metallurgy, automobiles, and machinery manufacturing. At this time, the lower limb exoskeleton robot plays an irreplaceable role. It can not only meet the needs of patients with lower limb dysfunc...
