Wearable power-assisted flexible exoskeleton

Abstract

The invention provides a wearable power-assisted flexible exoskeleton. The wearable power-assisted flexible exoskeleton is characterized in that a fixed back plate is fixed on a multifunctional vest,an embedded control system is fixed on the fixed back plate, two motor modules are fixed above the waist part of the fixed back plate, the two motor modules are connected with the embedded control system, the embedded control system is connected with a CAN communication module, a battery is connected with the embedded control system and a driver, the driver is connected with the motor modules, twoflexible cables are connected with the two motor modules, the two flexible ropes are fixed through a waist binding belt and extend downwards, the waist binding belt is connected with two knee fabricsleeves through two thigh connecting belts, the two flexible cables are guided by the waist binding belt to be downwards connected with two adjustable springs along the thigh connecting belts and theknee fabric sleeves, the two adjustable springs are connected with two foot sleeves, and attitude sensors are fixed at thighs and shanks of the two knee fabric sleeves and/or the back waist position of the waist binding belt. Compared with a traditional rigid exoskeleton, the exoskeleton has the advantages of being portable and higher in walking assisting efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of flexible exoskeletons, in particular to a wearable power-assisted flexible exoskeleton. Background technique [0002] Exoskeletons can be divided into flexible exoskeletons and rigid exoskeletons according to their mechanical structure. Among them, the rigid exoskeleton has been developed for many years and has been widely used in rehabilitation medicine, heavy object handling, emergency rescue and other occasions. At present, the rigid exoskeleton uses a hard shell to provide certain assistance to the wearer through a mechanized structure, but more than 95% Because the rigid exoskeleton system is too bulky, the wearer will consume a lot of physical energy. This does not mean that the exoskeleton system does not improve the wearer's strength or assist in load-bearing, but that it feels like walking in water when wearing it. Great resistance of bones. On the contrary, the flexible exoskeleton has a greater advanta...
