[0054] The second inner protective cover 14 and the second outer protective cover 20 are fastened to the thigh frame and cover the second thigh support 23 and the second drive motor 9. Specifically, the structural principle of the second inner protective cover 14 and the second outer protective cover 20 covering the second thigh support 23 and the second drive motor 9 is the same as the structural principle of the first inner protective cover 13 and the first outer protective cover 19 covering the first thigh support 7 and the first drive motor 18.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the calf portion includes a calf frame, and the calf frame includes a first calf support 11, a second calf support 24 and a second connecting strip 10. The second connecting strip 10 is fastened to the first calf support 11 and the second calf support 24 by bolts. When the length of the calf portion needs to be changed, the bolts can be rotated to adjust the length of the second connecting strip 10 extending into the first calf support 11 and the second calf support 24, and then the bolts can be tightened to adjust the length of the calf portion without affecting the normal operation of the second drive motor 9 and the third drive motor 12.

[0056] One end of the first calf support 11 away from the second calf support 24 is fastened to the output shaft of the second drive motor 9, and the third drive motor 12 is installed at one end of the second calf support 24 away from the first calf support 11.

The fourth inner protective cover 16 and the fourth outer protective cover 22 are fastened to the calf frame and cover the second calf support 24 and the third drive motor 12.

[0057] Specifically, the structural principle of the third inner protective cover 15 and the third outer protective cover 21 covering the first calf support 11, and the structural principle of the fourth inner protective cover 16 and the fourth outer protective cover 22 covering the second calf support 24 and the third drive motor 12 are the same as the structural principle of the first inner protective cover 13 and the first outer protective cover 19 covering the first thigh support 7 and the first drive motor 18.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the foot includes a foot frame 17, the upper part of the foot frame 17 is tightly connected to the output shaft of the third drive motor 12, the foot frame 17 is rotatably matched with the lower end of the second calf support 24, and the foot frame 17 extends from the connection between it and the third drive motor 12 to the inside of the exoskeleton robot.

[0059] Furthermore, a backpack structure 1 is fastened to the upper side of the crotch, and a backpack shell 2 is fastened to the backpack structure 1. Velcro is installed on the backpack structure for fixing the user's waist. Velcro is installed on any thigh and calf, so that the user can wear the exoskeleton robot easily.

[0060] The inventor believes that the lower limb exoskeleton robot can achieve eight degrees of freedom through the two rotatable hip connecting parts 5, the two rotatable thigh parts, the two rotatable calf parts and the two rotatable feet. And the robot joint motor directly drives each joint part to rotate, and the rotation accuracy is high and the reliability is good.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the support frame includes a base, a support frame body, a mounting frame and a limit assembly. The support frame body is fixedly mounted on the base, and the length direction of the support frame body is perpendicular to the plane where the base is located. The mounting frame is mounted on the support frame body and slides with it. The mounting frame can slide along the length direction of the support frame body, and the mounting frame and the support frame body are fixedly connected by a connecting block 32. The limit assembly is mounted on the mounting frame and is used for detachably connecting the lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robot.

[0062] Through the detachable fastening connection between the frame-structured base, the support frame body and the mounting frame, the staff can adjust the height, front-back position, and left-right position of the lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton and the person installed on the mounting frame to accommodate users of different heights and body shapes, thereby improving the applicability of the support frame.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the base is horizontally arranged on the ground, and the base includes a second support rod 28, a third support rod 30 and a universal wheel. Two third support rods 30 are arranged in parallel, and the two third support rods 30 are located in the same horizontal plane and contact with each other. A second support rod 28 is horizontally fixedly installed at both ends of the third support rod 30, and the length direction of any second support rod 28 is parallel to the length direction of the third support rod 30.

[0064] The second support rod 28 and the third support rod 30 are both long rods with rectangular cross sections. The second support rod 28 and the third support rod 30 are integrally formed with matching grooves parallel to the length direction thereof around the four sides.

[0065] A reinforcing plate 27 is installed on both the upper and lower sides of the connection between any second support rod 28 and the third support rod 30. The reinforcing plate 27 is provided with a waist-shaped groove corresponding to the matching grooves on the two third support rods 30 and a waist-shaped groove corresponding to the matching groove on the second support rod 28, and any waist-shaped groove is fastened to the corresponding matching groove by the cooperation of bolts and nuts. Thus, a detachable fastening connection between the third support rod 30 and the second support rod 28 is realized. Since the mounting frame is mounted on the third support rod 30, by adjusting the position of the third support rod 30 in the length direction of the second support rod 28, the front and rear position of the exoskeleton rehabilitation robot on the support frame can be adjusted.

[0066] In order to ensure the position of the center of gravity of the user during use, preferably, the third support rod 30 is located at one quarter to one half of the length of the second support rod 28 .

[0067] Furthermore, a universal wheel 29 is installed at the lower side of both ends of the two second support rods 28, respectively, which improves the convenience of transporting the support frame.

[0068] like Figure 3As shown, the support frame includes a vertical guide rod 26, a stabilizing rod 31 and a first support rod 33. The vertical guide rod 26, the stabilizing rod 31 and the first support rod 33 are long rods with rectangular cross sections, and the vertical guide rod 26, the stabilizing rod 31 and the first support rod 33 are integrally formed with matching grooves parallel to their length directions around them. The vertical guide rod 26 and the stabilizing rod 31 are both fastened to the third support rod 30 of the base. Two vertical guide rods 26 are vertically installed on one of the third support rods 30, and one stabilizing rod 31 is vertically installed on the other third support rod 30, and the stabilizing rod 31 is located in the middle of the two vertical guide rods 26.

[0069] The bottoms of the two vertical guide rods 26 and the one stabilizing rod 31 are fastened to the corresponding third support rod 30 through an articulated block. The articulated block includes two articulated halves, one of which is fastened to the corresponding vertical guide rod 26 or the matching groove on the stabilizing rod 31 through bolts and nuts, and the other articulated half is fastened to the corresponding matching groove on the third support rod 30 through bolts and nuts.

[0070] The first support rod 33 is horizontally fastened and installed on the top of the two vertical guide rods 26, and the first support rod 33 is fastened and connected to the two vertical guide rods 26 and a stabilizing rod 31 respectively through the cooperation of bolts, nuts and hinge blocks, and the length direction of the first support rod 33 is parallel to the length direction of the third support rod 30. By moving the support frame body on the third support rod 30 along the length direction of the third support rod 30, the left and right position of the exoskeleton robot installed on the support frame body on the support frame can be adjusted.

[0071] The mounting frame includes two mounting rods 25, both of which are long rods with rectangular cross sections, and the four sides of the two mounting rods 25 are integrally formed with matching grooves parallel to their lengths. The two mounting rods 25 are respectively horizontally mounted on the sides of the two vertical guide rods 26 that are away from each other, and the two mounting rods 25 extend horizontally from the connection between them and the vertical guide rods 26 to the other side of the base, and the two mounting rods 25 can slide along the length direction of the matching grooves on the vertical guide rods 26. Any mounting rod 25 is fastened to the corresponding vertical guide rod 26 through a connecting block 32, and a connecting block 32 is installed on the side of any mounting rod 25 that contacts and is adjacent to the vertical guide rod 26.

[0072] The connecting block 32 includes two mutually hinged connecting half blocks, one of which is detachably connected to the mounting frame by bolts and nuts, and the other is detachably connected to the support frame body by bolts and nuts. At this time, the mounting frame is adjusted in the vertical direction, and the mounting frame can be fixed at any height along the length of the vertical guide rod 26, so that the height of the exoskeleton robot installed on the mounting frame on the support frame can be adjusted.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the limit assembly includes a limit block 34, two of which are installed at intervals along the length of the corresponding mounting rod 25 on the upper side of any mounting rod 25, and the limit block 34 is a T-shaped structure, and any limit block 34 slides along the length direction of the matching groove on the corresponding mounting rod 25. The limit block 34 is provided with a threaded hole, and can be threadedly connected to clamp the crotch surface of the exoskeleton robot, so that the exoskeleton robot is tightly connected to the mounting rod 25.

[0074] Any limit block 34 is fastened to the corresponding mounting rod 25 by means of bolts and nuts. The space formed by the two limit blocks 34 on the same mounting rod 25 is the installation space of the exoskeleton robot. When the exoskeleton robot is installed in place, the limit blocks 34 are used to clamp or plug it to the mounting frame, so that the exoskeleton robot is fastened to the mounting rod 25, thereby achieving stable installation of the exoskeleton robot on the support frame.

[0075] By adjusting the left and right position of the support frame along the length direction of the third support rod 30, adjusting the front and rear position of the support frame along the length direction of the second support rod 28, and adjusting the height of the mounting frame along the length direction of the vertical guide rod 26, the spatial position of the exoskeleton robot installed on the mounting frame is adjusted to adapt to different users, thereby improving the applicability of the support frame.

[0076] How it works

[0077] By loosening the nut on the hinge block installed on the third support rod 30, the support frame can be relatively displaced with the third support rod 30, and then the support frame is moved along the length direction of the matching groove on the third support rod 30, and similarly, it is moved along the length direction of the matching groove on the second support rod 28 and the length direction of the matching groove on the vertical guide rod 26, thereby realizing the adjustment of the front and rear position, left and right position and height of the mounting frame in the space; then, the hip of the exoskeleton robot is clamped by the limit block, and the user can wear the exoskeleton robot through the Velcro on the backpack structure 1, thigh and calf, and the two hip connecting parts 5 are driven to rotate by the robot joint motor located at the connection between the hip support part 4 and the hip connecting part 5, the two thighs are driven to rotate by the two first drive motors 18, the two calves are driven to rotate by the two second drive motors 9, and the two feet are driven to rotate by the two third drive motors 12, thereby realizing the eight degrees of freedom of the exoskeleton robot, which can provide assistance for the user to walk or exercise the lower limbs, and has a simple structure and stable performance.
