When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0054] The present invention proposes an elastic linkage device 20 .
[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The elastic linkage device 20 proposed in the technical solution of the present invention is applied to a power transmission mechanism 100, wherein the power transmission mechanism 100 includes a driving component 10, a transmission component and a joint component 30, wherein the driving component 10 drives the elastic linkage device 20 to move, the elastic linkage device 20 drives the transmission component to move, and the transmission component drives the joint component 30 to move, and the elastic linkage device 20 includes:
[0056] A first linkage component 21, wherein the driving component 10 drives the first linkage component 21 to move;
[0057] A second linkage assembly 22, the transmission assembly is fixedly connected to the second linkage assembly 22, the second linkage assembly 22 is formed with an installation space 225, and the first linkage assembly 21 is installed and accommodated in the installation space 225;
[0058] An elastic member 23 is accommodated in the installation space 225, one end of the elastic member 23 abuts against the first linkage component 21 to form a first abutment point, and the other end abuts against the second linkage component 22 to form a second abutment point, and the length direction of the elastic member 23 is consistent with the length direction formed by the line connecting the first abutment point and the second abutment point.
[0059] The technical solution of the present invention is to set the installation space 225 in the second linkage assembly 22, then accommodate the first linkage assembly 21 in the installation space 225, and accommodate the elastic member 23 in the installation space 225, and make the two ends of the elastic member 23 respectively abut the first linkage assembly 21 and the second linkage assembly 22. Since the length direction of the elastic member 23 is consistent with the length direction formed by the line connecting the first abutment point and the second abutment point, that is, the elastic member 23 is arranged in a linear structure with uniform deformation at the abutment point, such an arrangement can make the deformation amount of the elastic member 23 change uniformly, so as to facilitate the control and adjustment of the stiffness of the joint assembly 30.
[0060] When the driving assembly 10 is required to drive the joint assembly 30 (positive drive), the driving assembly 10 drives the first linkage assembly 21 to move, the first linkage assembly 21 drives the elastic member 23 to move, the elastic member 23 drives the second linkage assembly 22 to move, the second linkage assembly 22 drives the transmission assembly to move, and the transmission assembly drives the joint assembly 30 to move;
[0061] When the joint assembly 30 needs to be contracted (reverse drive), the joint assembly 30 drives the transmission assembly to move, the transmission assembly drives the second linkage assembly 22 to move, and the second linkage assembly 22 drives the elastic member 23 to move. Since the elastic deformation of the elastic member 23 is better controlled at this time, the joint assembly 30 has better contraction stiffness, which is beneficial to the reverse drive of the joint assembly 30.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, the power transmission mechanism 100 also includes a first guide assembly, which is located on the side of the elastic linkage device 20 away from the joint assembly 30. The joint assembly 30 also includes a joint line wheel, which is located on one side of the elastic linkage device 20. The transmission assembly can be a transmission line group 50. Specifically, the transmission line group 50 includes at least one transmission line, at least a portion of which is fixedly connected to the second linkage assembly 22, and respectively passes around the joint line wheel and the first guide assembly.
[0063] Reference Figure 1In one embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly 10 may include an output motor 11, and the elastic linkage device 20 is connected to the output motor 11, and the elastic linkage device 20 is driven to move by the output motor 11. It can be understood that in order to better drive the elastic linkage device 20, the output motor 11 can be through a rack or a worm or a lead screw 12 and other devices, so that the power transmission effect between the elastic linkage device 20 and the output device is better, and a reducer can also be set at the output end of the motor 11, so that the power output is more convenient. In this embodiment, the lead screw 12 transmission method is adopted, specifically, the ball screw 12 transmission is adopted. The ball screw 12 can convert rotational motion into linear motion, or convert torque into axial repeated force, and has the characteristics of high precision, reversibility and high efficiency. In this way, it is convenient to make the power transmission effect between the elastic linkage device 20 and the output device better.
[0064] It can be understood that the first guide assembly is to prevent the transmission line group 50 on the side away from the joint assembly 30 from being locked when the transmission line group 50 moves along the elastic linkage device 20 toward the first guide assembly. In one embodiment of the present application, the first guide assembly can be a guide groove (not shown), and part of the transmission line group 50 can be slidably accommodated in the guide groove, so that when the linkage assembly moves, the transmission line group 50 slides in the guide groove, driving the joint line wheel 33 to rotate, and, in order to facilitate guidance, the guide groove can be set in a certain arc, thereby reducing sliding friction and facilitating transmission.
[0065] In another embodiment of the present application, the first guide assembly can be a guide rod (not shown), and the transmission line group 50 can movably bypass the side of the guide rod, so that when the transmission line group 50 moves along the elastic linkage device 20 toward the first guide assembly, it is not locked, which is convenient for transmission. The guide rod can also have the function of rotation, and the rotation reversal reduces the drive force loss and facilitates transmission. It can be understood that the first guide assembly of the present application is not limited to the implementation of the guide groove and the guide rod above. As long as the transmission line group 50 can be guided well, it is within the protection scope of the present application.
[0066] The transmission line group 50 is used to drive the joint line wheel 33 to rotate by the force of the driving device. It is understandable that the driving rotation can be driven by friction, traction, or a combination of the two, so that the joint line wheel 33 rotates. And, it is understandable that since the transmission line group 50 bypasses the first guide assembly and the joint line wheel, the transmission line group 50 is roughly arranged in a ring shape, and the linkage assembly can be arranged on the outside of the ring or the inside of the ring, as long as it is convenient to drive. In this embodiment, the elastic linkage device 20 is arranged on the inside of the ring, and such an arrangement can make the structure of the power transmission mechanism 100 more compact and save installation space 225.
[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, the installation space 225 formed by the second linkage component 22 is roughly cube-shaped, and the outer contour of the first linkage component 21 is roughly close to the installation space 225. Such a setting can make the structure of the elastic drive device compact, thereby saving the installation space 225.
[0068] It should be noted that the first abutment point of the present application can be understood as the projection area formed by the elastic member 23 projected on the first linkage component 21, or the position where the elastic member 23 abuts the first linkage component 21, or a combination of the above two; the second abutment point of the present application can be understood as the projection area formed by the elastic member 23 projected on the second linkage component 22, or the position where the elastic member 23 abuts the second linkage component 22, or a combination of the above two.
[0069] Preferably, the length direction formed by the line connecting the first abutment point and the second abutment point is consistent with the movement direction of the first linkage assembly 21 driven by the driving assembly 10. In this way, the elastic force generated by the elastic member 23 drives the second linkage assembly 22 to move.
[0070] In this embodiment, the power transmission mechanism 100 further includes a bracket 80, the bracket 80 includes a first direction (X-axis direction), a second direction (Y-axis direction) and a third direction (Z-axis direction) which are perpendicular to each other, the first guide assembly 40 is fixed to the bracket 80, the first guide wheel 41 is rotatably connected to the bracket 80, and the axial direction of the first guide wheel 41 coincides with the third direction. And, in order to facilitate the transmission of the transmission line group 50, the first guide assembly 40 further includes a first side transmission wheel group 42, the side transmission wheel group includes a first side transmission wheel 421 and a second side transmission wheel 422 which are adjacently arranged, the first side transmission wheel 421 and the second side transmission wheel 422 can be rotatably fixed to the bracket 80, and the axial directions of the first side transmission wheel 421 and the second side transmission wheel 422 coincide with the first direction; the transmission assembly includes a lower surface and an upper surface which are arranged oppositely along the third direction, the transmission assembly bypasses the first side transmission wheel group 42, the lower surface is in contact with the outer edge of the first side transmission wheel 421, and the upper surface is in contact with the outer edge of the second side transmission wheel 422. The provision of the side transmission wheel set can make the coordination between the fixed position of the transmission line set 50 and the transmission steering more convenient on the one hand, and make the transmission of the transmission line set 50 more stable on the other hand.
[0071] It can be understood that the first side transmission wheel 421 is arranged closer to the first guide wheel 41 than the second side transmission wheel 422, and the axis of the transmission line group 50 coincides with the axis of the side edge of the first guide wheel 41 at the upper edge of the first side transmission wheel 421. Such an arrangement can best realize the reversing from the first side transmission wheel 421 to the first guide wheel 41 (reversing from the second direction to the first direction) to facilitate transmission.
[0072] Further, the side of the joint line wheel 33 is formed with a wire groove 331 along its circumference, and the transmission line group 50 bypasses the wire groove 331 and fits the joint line wheel 33. The wire groove 331 is provided to facilitate the transmission line group 50 to bypass the joint line wheel 33, thereby driving the joint line wheel 33 to rotate. It can be understood that the wire groove 331 can be arranged in an arc shape around the side of the joint line wheel 33, as long as the transmission line group 50 can bypass the joint line wheel 33.
[0073] Furthermore, the joint wire wheel 33 is provided with two wire grooves 331 at intervals along its axial direction;
[0074] The power transmission mechanism 100 includes at least two transmission line groups 50, and the linkage device 20 includes a first side 21 and a second side 22 that are arranged opposite to each other, a portion of one transmission line group 50 is fixedly connected to the first side 21, and a portion of the other transmission line group 50 is fixedly connected to the second side 22;
[0075] One of the transmission line groups 50 passes through the line groove 331 and fits the joint line wheel 33 . Another of the transmission line groups 50 is cross-arranged adjacent to one side of the joint line wheel 33 , passes through the line groove 331 and fits the joint line wheel 33 .
[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, two sets of transmission line groups 50 are provided, and two spaced wire grooves 331 are provided on a joint line wheel 33, so as to enable a transmission line group 50 to bypass the wire groove 331 of a joint line wheel 33. In this embodiment, the linkage device 20 moves along the second direction, and each set of transmission line groups 50 is fixed to the side of the linkage device 20 opposite to the first direction. With such a configuration, the forces on both sides of the linkage device 20 can be balanced, thereby reducing the overturning moment and enabling the transmission line group 50 to better drive the joint line wheel 33 to rotate. Moreover, multiple sets of transmission line groups 50 can better drive the rotation of the joint line wheel 33, thereby facilitating user use. It should be noted that when two sets of wire groups are used, the winding method on the opposite sides needs to be considered. In order to enable the transmission line groups 50 whose fixed ends are located on both sides of the linkage device 20 to drive the joint line wheel 33 to rotate with the same direction, a set of transmission line groups 50 must cross each other before bypassing the joint line wheel 33 (see for details). Figure 4 ), such an arrangement can enable the transmission wire groups 50 fixed on different sides of the linkage device 20 to achieve the effect of linkage transmission. It can be understood that the power transmission mechanism 100 can use multiple sets of transmission wire groups 50, and the winding method of the transmission wire groups 50 fixed on the same side of the linkage device 20 is the same, so as to achieve better transmission of the power transmission mechanism 100.
[0077] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5, in one embodiment of the present application, the joint assembly 30 includes two coaxially arranged joint line wheels 33;
[0078] The power transmission mechanism 100 includes at least two transmission line groups 50, and the linkage device 20 includes a first side 21 and a second side 22 that are arranged opposite to each other, a portion of one transmission line group 50 is fixedly connected to the first side 21, and a portion of the other transmission line group 50 is fixedly connected to the second side 22;
[0079] One of the transmission line groups 50 passes through the line groove 331 and fits the joint line wheel 33 . Another of the transmission line groups 50 is cross-arranged adjacent to one side of the joint line wheel 33 , passes through the line groove 331 and fits the joint line wheel 33 .
[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, two sets of transmission line groups 50 are provided, and two coaxial joint line wheels 33 are provided, so that one transmission line group 50 can bypass the line groove 331 of one joint line wheel 33, so that the transmission effect of the transmission line group 50 is better. It can be understood that the two joint line wheels 33 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the joint assembly 30 to rotate at the same time. And, when two sets of transmission line groups 50 are used, two first guide assemblies 40 can be used accordingly, and the two first guide assemblies 40 are centrally symmetrically arranged relative to the bracket 80, so that the arrangement is convenient for transmission.
[0081] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present application, the power transmission mechanism 100 includes a second guide assembly 60, the second guide assembly 60 is located between the linkage device 20 and the joint line wheel 33, the second guide assembly 60 includes at least two second guide wheels 61 arranged at intervals, and the transmission line group 50 passes around the two second guide wheels 61 and is arranged to cross each other. In this embodiment, the transmission line groups 50 are crossed by setting the second guide assembly 60. Specifically, the second guide assembly 60 includes at least two second guide wheels 61, each of which is rotatably fixed to the bracket 80, and the axial direction of the second guide wheel 61 coincides with the third direction. It should be noted that when the distance between the two second guide wheels 61 is large (located on the extension line of the tangent of the joint line wheel 33 along the second direction or on its outside), the installation heights of the two second guide wheels 61 in the third direction can be consistent. When the distance between the two second guide wheels 61 is small (located on the inside of the extension line of the tangent of the joint line wheel 33 along the second direction parallel to the second direction), it is necessary to make the installation height of one second guide wheel 61 in the third direction higher than the installation height of the other second guide wheel 61 in the third direction, so that the transmission line group 50 can be better crossed and the transmission is convenient.
[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, the second guide assembly 60 also includes a slide groove assembly (not shown) located between the two second guide wheels 61, and the slide groove assembly has slide grooves on different planes. A portion of the transmission line group 50 passes through a slide groove, and the other opposite portion passes through another slide groove. The transmission line group 50 can be better guided by the slide groove assembly so that they cross each other before bypassing the joint line wheel 33.
[0083] In another embodiment of the present application, the second guide assembly 60 also includes a rotating column (not shown) between the two second guide wheels 61 and rotatably connected to the bracket 80. The rotating column has two guide grooves spaced apart along its axial direction. A portion of the transmission line group 50 is accommodated in the guide groove and bypasses the rotating column, and the other opposite portion is accommodated in another guide groove. The transmission line group 50 can be better guided by the rotating column, so that they cross each other before bypassing the joint line wheel 33.
[0084] In another embodiment of the present application, the second guide assembly 60 also includes two third guide wheels 62 between the two second guide wheels 61, and the two third guide wheels 62 are both rotatably fixed to the bracket 80, and the axial direction of the third guide wheel 62 coincides with the third direction, and the transmission line group 50 includes an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to each other along the first direction, and the transmission line group 50 bypasses the second guide wheel 61 and the third guide wheel 62, and the inner surface fits the outer edge of the second guide wheel 61, and the outer surface fits the outer edge of the third guide wheel 62. The third guide wheel 62 is provided to increase the contact area between the transmission line group 50 and the joint line wheel 33, so that the transmission line group 50 can better drive the joint line wheel 33 to rotate. It can be understood that the installation heights of the two third guide wheels 62 are inconsistent, and such a configuration facilitates the transmission line groups 50 to cross each other.

By changing the depth of the screw connection member extending into the screw connection hole, the distance between the first transmission plate 221 and the third transmission plate 223 relative to the first linkage assembly 21 can be changed.
[0112] Preferably, the adjusting members 241 located on the same side are accommodated in the second adjusting hole 2221 at the same depth. Such an arrangement allows the first transmission plate 221 and the third transmission plate 223 to be vertically arranged relative to the second transmission plate 222 and the fourth transmission plate 224.

It can be understood that the guide column 226 can be set as an integral part with the second linkage component 22, or as a separate part. The integral molding structure can save the subsequent assembly process on the one hand, and ensure the accuracy of the relative dimensions between the various parts of the guide column 226 on the other hand.

The upper fixing plate 26 enables the transmission lines fixed to the second transmission plate 222 and the fourth transmission plate 224 to be better synchronously transmitted, thereby improving the transmission effect. The lower fixing plate 27 makes the fixing of the sleeve 213 and the lead screw nut 121 more stable, which facilitates the transmission of the elastic linkage device 20.
[0129] Furthermore, in order to reduce the mass of the elastic linkage device 20, under the premise of ensuring the strength of each component, weight-reducing holes 25 can be appropriately provided, thereby improving the mechanical efficiency.
[0130] In one embodiment of the present application, the joint assembly 30 includes:
[0131] A primary connecting rod 31, wherein the primary connecting rod 31 is provided with a first transfer shaft hole (not shown);
[0132] A secondary connecting rod 32, wherein the secondary connecting rod 32 is arranged opposite to the primary connecting rod 31, and a second transfer shaft hole (not shown) is provided at one end of the secondary connecting rod 32 adjacent to the primary connecting rod 31;
[0133] A first transfer shaft 34, wherein the first transfer shaft 34 is inserted into the first transfer shaft hole and is inserted into the joint line wheel 33;
[0134] A second transfer shaft 35, wherein the second transfer shaft 35 is inserted into the second transfer shaft hole;
[0135] The rotating assembly 70 is disposed between the primary connecting rod 31 and the secondary connecting rod 32 , and rotatably connects the primary connecting rod 31 and the secondary connecting rod 32 .
[0136] By setting up the rotating component 70, the primary connecting rod 31 can rotate around the first connecting shaft 34, and the secondary connecting rod 32 can drive the second connecting shaft 35 to rotate relative to the primary connecting rod 31, so that the secondary connecting rod 32 fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft 35 can realize variable axial movement, thereby being able to well simulate the transportation form of human joints, so that the bionic robot can fully simulate the characteristics of the organism itself.
[0137] Among them, the first-level connecting rod 31 can be a frame, a mechanical arm or an output end of the previous joint, etc., and the second-level connecting rod 32 can be an end effector, a lower limb load end, an output end of the next joint, etc.
[0138] It can be understood that the joint line wheel 33 drives the first connecting shaft 34 to rotate, thereby driving the secondary connecting rod 32 to move through the rotating component 70, or the joint line wheel 33 drives the rotating component 70, thereby driving the secondary connecting rod 32 to move. The specific installation transmission method is set according to actual needs.
[0139] In one embodiment of the present application, the rotating assembly 70 includes a first gear 71 fixedly connected to the primary connecting rod 31, and a second gear 72 fixedly connected to the secondary connecting rod 32, and the first gear 71 and the second gear 72 are meshed with each other. When the primary connecting rod 31 is fixed and the secondary connecting rod 32 is rotated by an external force, the secondary connecting rod 32 drives the second gear 72 and the second transfer shaft 35 to rotate. Since the second gear 72 is meshed with the first gear 71, the second gear 72 drives the first gear 71 to rotate during the rotation process. However, since the first gear 71 is fixedly connected to the primary connecting rod 31 and the position of the primary connecting rod 31 is fixed, the secondary connecting rod 32 drives the primary connecting rod 31 to rotate around the first transfer shaft 34, that is, the first gear 71 and the second gear 72 form a planetary gear mechanism, and the variable axis rotation of the second gear 72 realizes anthropomorphic joint transmission and improves the comfort of the joint assembly 30 when worn.
[0140] Since the rotation angle of the primary connecting rod 31 and the secondary connecting rod 32 is limited, the first gear 71 and the second gear 72 can adopt a complete gear structure or an incomplete gear structure. When the first gear 71 and the second gear 72 adopt an incomplete gear structure, the weight of the gear can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the joint assembly 30, reducing the weight of the user, and reducing the amount of raw materials used, thereby reducing the cost of the joint assembly 30. The tooth shape used in the first gear 71 and the second gear 72 structure can be a straight tooth shape or a helical tooth shape.
[0141] The first gear 71 and the primary connecting rod 31 can be set as an integral structure, and the second gear 72 and the secondary connecting rod 32 can be set as an integral structure to shorten the overall width of the joint assembly 30 and reduce the assembled parts, thereby facilitating the carrying and assembly of the joint assembly 30.
[0142] In one embodiment of the present application, the rotating assembly 70 further includes a first rotating wheel 73 fixedly connected to the primary connecting rod 31, and a second rotating wheel 74 fixedly connected to the secondary connecting rod 32;
[0143] A traction assembly 75 is connected between the first rotating wheel 73 and the second rotating wheel 74. When the first rotating wheel 73 rotates, the first rotating wheel 73 drives the traction assembly 75 to move, and the traction assembly 75 drives the second rotating wheel 74 to rotate, and the rotation direction of the second rotating wheel 74 is opposite to the rotation direction of the first rotating wheel 73.
[0144] When the primary connecting rod 31 is fixed and the secondary connecting rod 32 is rotated by external force, the secondary connecting rod 32 can drive the second rotating wheel 74 and the second transfer shaft 35 to rotate. Since the second rotating wheel 74 is connected to the first rotating wheel 73 through the traction assembly 75, and the traction assembly 75 makes the second rotating wheel 74 turn in the opposite direction to the first rotating wheel 73, since the first rotating wheel 73 is fixedly connected to the primary connecting rod 31, the second rotating wheel 74 is fixedly connected to the secondary connecting rod 32, and the first rotating wheel 73 is rotationally connected to the first transfer shaft 34, and the second rotating wheel 74 is fixedly connected to the second transfer shaft 35, therefore, the secondary connecting rod 32 drives the articulated connecting rod 36 to rotate around the first transfer shaft 34, that is, the second rotating wheel 74 rotates around the first rotating wheel 73 while rotating on itself, and the second rotating wheel 74 drives the secondary connecting rod 32 to form a variable axis rotation, thereby realizing the anthropomorphic joint rotation, thereby improving the simulation characteristics of the joint assembly 30. The rotation direction of the first rotating wheel 73 is the rotation direction of the first rotating wheel 73 around the first transfer shaft 34 , and the rotation direction of the second rotating wheel 74 is the direction in which the second rotating wheel 74 drives the second transfer shaft 35 to rotate around the axis of the second transfer shaft 35 .

[0147] The third fixing block 7521 and the fourth fixing block 7522 are spaced apart from each other on the side wall of the second rotating wheel 74;
[0148] Alternatively, the third fixing block 7521 and the fourth fixing block 7522 are arranged at intervals on the secondary connecting rod 32 .
[0149] It is understandable that both the first rotating wheel 73 and the second rotating wheel 74 include a winding groove 331 to facilitate the winding of the fourth transmission wire 751 , and the winding groove 331 is arranged around the side of the first rotating wheel 73 or the second rotating wheel 74 .
[0150] In one embodiment of the present application, the fixing block 332 is provided with a fixing hole through which the fourth transmission line 751 passes along the length direction, and the side wall of the fixing block 332 is provided with a fixing part for fixing the fourth transmission line 751. For example, the first end of a fourth transmission line 751 passes through the fixing hole of the first fixing block, and the second end passes through the fixing hole of the fourth fixing block 7522, and the fixing part fixes the first end and the second end respectively. In order to prevent the fastener from falling off and causing the end of the fourth transmission line 751 to fall off without pre-tightening, the first end and the second end of the fourth transmission line 751 are both knotted, or a sleeve (not shown) is provided at the end of the fourth transmission line 751, and then knotted, the sleeve is provided with two through holes 2441 arranged in parallel, the end of the fourth transmission line 751 passes through the two through holes 2441 in sequence, and then the sleeve is pressed to deform the sleeve to clamp the fourth transmission line 751, and the sleeve material can be aluminum or iron. The fixing part is a set screw provided on the fixing block 332, which is used to fix the position of the fourth transmission line 751 in the fixing hole.
[0151] In another embodiment of the present application, the third fixing block 7521 and the fourth fixing block 7522 are arranged on the secondary connecting rod 32, so that the fourth transmission line 751 can be arranged on the second rotating wheel 74 to increase the contact distance of the fourth transmission line 751 and facilitate transmission. In addition, a guide wheel 321 can be arranged to make the arrangement of the fourth transmission line 751 more reasonable.
[0152] It can be understood that the joint assembly 30 can adopt gear transmission alone, or pulley transmission alone, or a combination of the two. In the present application, both gears and pulleys are used. This arrangement allows the joint assembly 30 to better fit the rotation of the human joint and is convenient for users to use.
[0153] Furthermore, the joint assembly 30 further comprises a hinge connecting rod 36, and the hinge connecting rod 36 is provided with a third rotating shaft hole and a fourth rotating shaft hole spaced apart along the length direction thereof;
[0154] The first transfer shaft 34 extends out of the rotating assembly 70 to form a first extending end, and the first extending end is rotatably connected to the third rotating shaft hole;
[0155] The second transfer shaft 35 extends out of the rotating assembly 70 to form a second extending end, and the second extending end is rotatably connected to the fourth rotating shaft hole.
[0156] The hinged connecting rod 36 is provided to improve the power transmission between the primary connecting rod 31 and the secondary connecting rod 32. It can be understood that two hinged connecting rods 36 are provided at both ends of the joint assembly 30 to prevent the joint assembly 30 from lateral displacement during movement, thereby improving the biological motion simulation characteristics of the joint assembly 30. If used for human exercise rehabilitation, it can prevent the human body from being injured by lateral displacement.
