Problems solved by technology

Therefore, this mechanism cannot be directly applied in wearable exoskeletons
Since this design also uses a zero free length spring mechanism, it has a limited lifespan
[0007] It is an ideal assumption that the human-machine joints are perfectly aligned. During the rotation of the human joint, the rotation center will slip relative to the position of the adjacent limb. For example, when the joint rotates, the rotation center of the knee joint will slip relative to the femur ; During the rotation of the upper arm, the center of rotation of the glenohumeral joint will also slip. If the gravity-balanced exoskeleton is designed according to the assumption that the human joint is fixed, during the movement, the center of rotation of the human joint will slip , the human-machine closed chain will be over-constrained, and a large contact force will be generated between the human-machine interface, making people uncomfortable.

Embodiment 1

[0054] [Embodiment 1] The complete gravitational balance condition of the single bar of space fixed-point rotation

[0055] Such as figure 1 As shown, the fixed-point rotation of the first balanced pole 1 can be decomposed into coupled three-axis rotations, which are respectively the yaw angle α (the angle between the yaw plane P3 and the vertical plane P2), the inclination angle β (the first balanced The included angle between the axis of the rod 1 and the y-axis, the x-axis and the z-axis are located on the horizontal plane P1) and the spin angle γ (the rotation angle of the first balanced rod 1 around its own axis). Use the first plane gravity balance subunit 2 to realize the gravity balance of the first balanced pole 1, and notice that only the inclination angle β affects the gravitational potential energy of the system composed of the first balanced pole 1 and the first plane gravity balance subunit 2, Taking the horizontal plane P1 as the zero gravity potential energy r...

[0081] [embodiment 2] the design of plane gravity balance subunit

[0082] Assuming that the yaw angle α of the first balanced pole 1 is always 0°, and the spin angle γ is always 0°, that is, the first balanced pole 1 only rotates around the z-axis, and the corresponding inclination angle is β. Embodiment 1 points out that the first plane gravity balance subunit 2 is composed of two sub-mechanisms, the gear reduction mechanism and the harmonic displacement generator, and the first plane gravity balance subunit 2 that realizes the complete gravity balance of the first balanced pole 1 is given below organization composition.

[0086] [embodiment 3] the design of space gravity balance unit

[0087] The design of the first plane gravity balance subunit 2 is based on the assumption that the yaw angle α is always 0° and the spin angle γ is always 0°. The restrictions on the yaw angle α and the spin angle γ are lifted below, On the basis of the first plane gravity balance subunit 2, the first space gravity balance unit that realizes general fixed-point rotation is designed, such as Figure 4~6 As shown (the angle labels and the like can refer to the explanations of other embodiments). Considering that the first balanced pole 1 may spin γ around its own axis, and the plane where the first balanced pole 1 is located will turn to the yaw plane P3 with an angle α with the original vertical plane P2, so it must be The first planar gravitational balance subunit 2 is modified to accommodate these movements. The first space gravity balance unit for realizing the complete gravity balance of the first balanced p...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wearable space gravity balance mechanism without a human-machine joint alignment requirement. The wearable space gravity balance mechanism comprises at least one space gravity balance unit and a synchronous belt mechanism. The space gravity balance unit comprises a plane gravity balance subunit and an outer connecting rod subunit, a balanced rod, a space gravity balance unit and a foundation are sequentially connected, and the space gravity balance unit can capture the inclination angle of the balanced rod; and an internal spring is compressed to obtain an anti-gravity moment which resists the gravity moment of the balanced rod, so that the gravity balance is realized. The synchronous belt mechanism is used for transmitting in the vertical direction between the two space gravity balance units, and therefore the complete gravity balance of an upper limb double-rod mechanism is achieved. Compared with the prior art, the mechanism is not sensitive to sliding of the rotating center of the balanced rod, namely, joint alignment is not needed, complete gravity balance can still be kept, and the problem of the joint sliding of the balanced rod is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of gravity balance mechanisms, in particular to a wearable space gravity balance mechanism that does not require alignment of man-machine joints. Background technique [0002] Gravity balance means that under the action of a certain gravity compensation mechanism, the balanced mechanism can maintain static balance in a gravity environment. Complete gravity compensation requires that the static balance is established for any configuration of the mechanism in the working space. From the perspective of Newtonian mechanics, the condition of gravity balance is that the gravity moment of any joint of the balanced mechanism is resisted by the counter moment provided by the gravity compensation mechanism for the system composed of the balance mechanism and the gravity compensation mechanism. The torque and the gravitational moment are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction; from the perspective of Lagrange mechanics, th...
