It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are not a limitation on the scope of the present application, but only to illustrate the essential spirit of the technical solutions of the present application.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the adjustable damping mechanism comprises: a crossed roller bearing 21, the outer ring of which is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 1 through a bolt 29 and a nut 30; an inner ring friction ring 22 (which can also be a friction block or a friction plate), which is fixedly connected with the inner ring of the crossed roller bearing 21 through a bolt 27 and a nut 28; an outer ring friction ring 23, which is axially movable and circumferentially non-rotatable on the connecting rod 1, and a contact interface is formed between the outer ring friction ring 23 and the inner ring friction ring 22; an adjustment part connected with the outer ring friction ring 23, for driving the outer ring friction ring 23 to move towards or away from the inner ring friction ring 22 along the axis of the adjustable damping mechanism, so as to increase or decrease the frictional damping of the contact interface between the outer ring friction ring 23 and the inner ring friction ring 22.
[0042] In the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figure 1、 Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the elastic part comprises: a spring mounting seat 4 in the form of a groove and fixed on the connecting rod 1; a spring pressing block 10 slidingly arranged on the spring mounting seat 4; two spring pressing plates 14 arranged on both sides of the spring pressing block 10; a guide column 13 fixed between the two wing plates of the spring mounting seat 4, the guide column 13 penetrating through the spring pressing block 10 and the two spring pressing plates 14 and forming a sliding pair with them; and two groups of compression springs 11 respectively sleeved on the guide column 13 between the two spring pressing plates 14 and the two wing plates of the spring mounting seat 4, one end of the compression spring 11 abutting against the wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4, and the other end of the compression spring 11 abutting against the spring pressing plate 14.
[0043] In the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, the pulley transmission part comprises: an adapter block 3 located on one side of the connecting rod 1 and fixedly connected with the connecting rod 2 through a screw 31; a fixed pulley set 6 and a fixed pulley set 8 rotatably arranged on the two wing plates of the spring mounting seat 4; a movable pulley set 7 and a movable pulley set 9, both rotatably arranged on the spring pressing block 10; and a steel wire rope 5-1 and a steel wire rope 5-2, both located on both sides of the adapter block 3, one end of each of the steel wire rope 5-1 and the steel wire rope 5-2 being fixedly connected to the adapter block 3, the other end of the steel wire rope 5-1 being fixedly connected to the left wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4 after passing through the fixed pulley set 6 and the movable pulley set 7, and the other end of the steel wire rope 5-2 being fixedly connected to the right wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4 after passing through the fixed pulley set 8 and the movable pulley set 9.
[0044] In the above embodiment, preferably, the fixed pulley set 6 comprises a fixed pulley 6-1 and a fixed pulley 6-2 rotatably connected to the left wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4 through two pin shafts 15, and the fixed pulley set 8 comprises a fixed pulley 8-1 and a fixed pulley 8-2 rotatably connected to the right wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4 through another two pin shafts 15.
[0045] In the above embodiment, preferably, the movable pulley set 7 comprises a movable pulley 7-1 and a movable pulley 7-2 rotatably connected to the spring pressing block 10 through two pin shafts 16, and the movable pulley set 9 comprises a movable pulley 9-1 and a movable pulley 9-2 rotatably connected to the spring pressing block 10 through the same two pin shafts 16.
[0046] Specifically, the other end of the steel wire rope 5-1 is connected to the left wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4 after sequentially passing through the fixed pulley 6-1, the movable pulley 7-1, the fixed pulley 6-2 and the movable pulley 7-2, and the other end of the steel wire rope 5-2 is connected to the right wing plate of the spring mounting seat 4 after sequentially passing through the fixed pulley 8-1, the movable pulley 9-1, the fixed pulley 8-2 and the movable pulley 9-2.
[0047] In the above embodiment, preferably, asFigure 9 As shown, the torque balancing mechanism also includes a wire rope adjustment section, which includes: studs 17-1 and 17-2, respectively disposed on the two side flanges of the spring mounting seat 4, with external threads formed on both studs 17-1 and 17-2; adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2, which are hollow cylindrical, and with internal threads forming inside the adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2 respectively that mate with the external threads of studs 17-1 and 17-2; adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2 are threadedly connected to studs 17-1 and 17-2 respectively; and wire ropes 5-1 and 5-2 are fixedly connected to adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2 respectively. Therefore, by rotating the adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2, the adjustment blocks can be moved along the studs 17-1 and 17-2, thereby adjusting the position of the wire ropes 5-1 and 5-2 during installation, so that the spring pressure block 10 is in the middle position of the guide post 13 when balanced, and the wire ropes 5-1 and 5-2 are both in a taut state. During use, the position of the adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2 remains unchanged.
[0048] In the above embodiments, preferably, both adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2 have an axial notch, and the other ends of wire ropes 5-1 and 5-2 form protruding spherical portions. Wire ropes 5-1 and 5-2 are respectively inserted into adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2 through the notches, so that the spherical portions of wire ropes 5-1 and 5-2 are respectively confined within adjusting blocks 12-1 and 12-2.
[0049] In the above-described embodiments, preferably, at least one limiting block 18 is provided on the web of the spring mounting base 4 located between the two spring pressure plates 14 to limit the displacement of the two spring pressure plates 14.
[0050] Therefore, when link 2 moves to the left (e.g.) Figure 10As shown, the load G generates a counterclockwise torque on the inner ring of the crossed roller bearing 21. At this time, the wire rope 5-2 moves upward under the drive of the adapter block 3, and the length of the wire rope 5-2 wrapped on the adapter block 3 increases. Then, through the movable pulleys 9-1 and 9-2, the spring pressure block 10 moves to the right. The spring pressure block 10 compresses the right compression spring 11 through the right spring pressure plate 14, thereby generating a balancing force to balance the torque of the load G on the rotating shaft. Meanwhile, the left compression spring 11 remains in its original state under the restriction of the left spring pressure plate 14 (which is limited by the limiting block 18 and cannot move to the right). However, since the spring pressure block 10 simultaneously drives the movable pulleys 7-1 and 7-2 to move to the right, the length of the wire rope 5-1 wound on the adapter block 3 is reduced. This reduced length is exactly the same as the length required for the movable pulleys 7-1 and 7-2 to move to the right. Therefore, the wire rope 5-1 remains taut under the pull of the movable pulleys 7-1 and 7-2. Thus, when the load G moves to the left, there is no sudden acceleration under the action of the balancing force, and the external force required to return to the original state is also greatly reduced, achieving a good assist function.
[0051] When link 2 moves to the right (e.g.) Figure 11 As shown, the load G generates a clockwise torque on the inner ring of the crossed roller bearing 21. At this time, the wire rope 5-1 moves upward under the drive of the adapter block 3. The length of the wire rope 5-1 wound on the adapter block 3 increases, which in turn drives the spring pressure block 10 to move to the left through the movable pulleys 7-1 and 7-2. The spring pressure block 10 compresses the left compression spring 11 through the left spring pressure plate 14, thereby generating a balancing force to balance the torque of the load G on the rotating shaft. Meanwhile, the right-side compression spring 11 remains in its original state under the restriction of the right-side spring pressure plate 14 (which is limited by the limiting block 18 and cannot move to the left). However, since the spring pressure block 10 simultaneously drives the movable pulleys 9-1 and 9-2 to move to the left, the length of the wire rope 5-2 wrapped around the adapter block 3 is reduced. This reduced length is exactly the same as the length required for the movable pulleys 9-1 and 9-2 to move to the left. Therefore, the wire rope 5-2 remains taut under the pull of the movable pulleys 9-1 and 9-2. Thus, when the load G moves to the right, there is no sudden acceleration under the action of the balancing force, and the external force required to return to the original state is also greatly reduced, achieving a good assist function.
[0052] In the above embodiment, preferably, the number of compression springs 13 on both sides can be adjusted as needed, thereby balancing loads G of different weights.
[0053] Of course, it is understood by those skilled in the art that the compression spring 13 can also be arranged on only one side of the spring block 10 in the above embodiment, in which case the spring plate 14 can be cancelled, thereby forming a one-way assisted torque balance mechanism.
[0054] In the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the adjusting part comprises a retainer 24 fixed with the connecting rod 1 and the outer ring of the cross roller bearing 21 by a bolt 29 and a nut 30, a guide screw 26 mainly composed of a guide rod and a screw head integrally formed at one end of the guide rod, the outer periphery of the screw head being provided with external threads, the inner ring of the retainer 24 being provided with internal threads matched with the external threads of the screw head, the screw head being screwed into the retainer 24, and a spring positioning sleeve being formed between the guide rod and the screw head, and a compression spring 25, one end of the compression spring 25 being located in the spring positioning sleeve, and the other end of the compression spring 25 abutting against the inner ring friction ring 22. Thus, when the guide screw 26 is rotated to move inward along the axis of the adjustable damping mechanism (i.e. screwed in), the compression amount of the compression spring 25 will be increased, thereby causing greater frictional damping between the outer ring friction ring 23 and the inner ring friction ring 22, so as to restrict the relative rotation between the inner and outer rings of the cross roller bearing 21, and further restrict the relative rotation of the connecting rod 1 and the connecting rod 2 connected with the inner and outer rings of the cross roller bearing 21 respectively; on the contrary, when the guide screw 26 is rotated to move outward along the axis of the adjustable damping mechanism (i.e. screwed out), the compression amount of the compression spring 25 will be reduced, thereby reducing the frictional damping between the outer ring friction ring 23 and the inner ring friction ring 22, so as to facilitate the relative rotation between the inner and outer rings of the cross roller bearing 21, and further facilitate the relative rotation of the connecting rod 1 and the connecting rod 2 connected with the inner and outer rings of the cross roller bearing 21 respectively.
[0055] In the above embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figures 2 to 5 , recesses 101 and 102 are formed on both sides of one end of the connecting rod 1, the cross roller bearing 21 is located in the recess 101, and the retainer 24, the compression spring 25 and the guide screw 26 are located in the recess 102; a guide channel is formed on the connecting rod 1 between the recesses 101 and 102, the inner ring friction ring 22 and the outer ring friction ring 23 are located in the guide channel, the outer periphery of the outer ring friction ring 23 is provided with a plurality of protrusions, a guide groove matched with the outer contour of the outer ring friction ring 23 is formed in the guide channel of the connecting rod 1, and the outer ring friction ring 23 is fitted in the guide groove, so that the guide groove can restrict the circumferential movement of the outer ring friction ring 23 but not restrict the movement of the outer ring friction ring 23 along the axis of the damping adjusting mechanism.
[0056] The above embodiments are only used for illustrating the present application, wherein the structure, connection mode and manufacturing process of each component can be changed, and any equivalent transformation and improvement based on the technical scheme of the present application should not be excluded from the protection scope of the present application.
