Abstract

The invention discloses a lasso artificial muscle driving-type knee joint exoskeleton device, which comprises an exoskeleton fixing frame system, a stress rotating joint system and a lasso transmission system. According to the device, a controllable rope chuck and a lasso transmission system are used for simulating the motion form of biological muscles; when the exoskeleton needs to be driven to move, the rope chuck at one end controls the clamping rope through an electromagnetic signal, a motor serving as a power source rotates after being powered on, power is transmitted to the rope throughthe chuck and then transmitted to a tail end rotating joint, and the function similar to active contraction after muscles are stimulated is achieved. In order to better simulate the muscle form of people, series-parallel connection springs are added in the mechanism, the elasticity of tendons and muscles is simulated, and vibration and impact generated in the driving process are effectively reduced. The safer and more flexible driving is achieved, and a wearer of the exoskeleton feels more comfortable; the structure is smaller and lighter, the motor can be placed on the back away from the kneejoint, and the load of the knee joint is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of medical rehabilitation assisting devices, in particular to a lasso artificial muscle-driven knee joint exoskeleton device. Background technique [0002] In today's society, there are many people whose limbs are damaged due to disease or disability, thus losing basic mobility or even paralysis. In order to help these patients live better, a rehabilitation-assisted exoskeleton device that can assist disabled patients in their daily activities has become a research hotspot in the field of healthcare. Existing exoskeleton devices are generally divided into two types. The first is to drive the exoskeleton through pneumatic muscles for power assistance, and the other is to use the motor as a force source to drive the joints to rotate. Although pneumatic muscles are more similar to the working method of human muscles, which generate tension through expansion and contraction, the control accuracy of the pneuma...
