[0056] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an exoskeleton for bending and lifting when worn by a user. Refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for analyzing the assisting effect of an exoskeleton for bending and lifting. The exoskeleton includes a back rod module 1, a waist support module 2, a leg support module 4, and a hip joint assisting module 3. The back rod module 1 is worn on the shoulder and back of the user and fits with the user's back. The waist support module 2 is connected to the back rod module 1 and fixed to the user's waist. The leg support module 4 is worn on the user's thigh and is connected to the waist support module 2 through the hip joint assisting module 3. The hip joint assisting module 3 is used to output and transmit torque to provide assistance when the user bends to lift an object.
[0057] Figure 2 is a flowchart of the method for analyzing the assisting effect of the exoskeleton for bending and lifting provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the analysis method includes:
[0058] Step S100: When the user is in the same set condition, perform a force analysis on the force received by the user's lumbar spine in three cases: when the user does not wear the exoskeleton, when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton is in a non-assisting state, and when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton is in an assisting state.
[0059] Step S200: Obtain the values of the first force, the second force, and the third force through the force analysis. The first force is the force on the user's lumbar spine when the user does not wear the exoskeleton. The second force is the force on the user's lumbar spine when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton is in a non-assisting state. The third force is the force on the user's lumbar spine when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton is in an assisting state.
[0060] Step S300: Judge the magnitudes of the first force and the third force, and the magnitudes of the second force and the third force. If the third force is less than the first force and the third force is less than the second force, the assisting effect of the exoskeleton meets the user's assisting requirement. If the third force is greater than or equal to the first force, or the third force is greater than or equal to the second force, the assisting effect of the exoskeleton cannot meet the user's assisting requirement.
[0061] In this embodiment, this analysis method can accurately judge whether the exoskeleton for bending and lifting effectively assists the user by calculating the forces on the user's lumbar spine in three cases when the user is in the same set condition.
[0062] Specifically, if it is analyzed that the third force is less than the first force and the third force is less than the second force, it indicates that when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton provides assistance to the user, the lumbar spine of the user is subjected to the least force. At this time, using the exoskeleton for bending and lifting effectively provides assistance to the user;
[0063] Conversely, if the third force is greater than or equal to the first force, or the third force is greater than or equal to the second force, it indicates that when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton provides assistance to the user, the force on the user's lumbar spine is even greater compared to when not wearing the exoskeleton or wearing the exoskeleton but without the exoskeleton providing assistance. Obviously, it does not meet the assistance requirements of using the exoskeleton for bending and lifting and cannot achieve the assistance effect.
[0064] As an optional embodiment, the same setting conditions include: in the above three cases, the weight of the object carried by the user is the same, and the bending angle of the spine when the user bends is the same.
[0065] In this embodiment, by defining that the weight of the object carried by the user is the same and the bending angle of the spine when the user bends is the same in the three cases, the differences among the three cases can be well reduced to whether the exoskeleton is worn or not and whether the exoskeleton provides assistance, effectively controlling the variables and improving the accuracy of the analysis.
[0066] As an optional embodiment, the force analysis includes:
[0067] Taking the center of the user's lumbar spine as the origin and the sagittal plane of the user as the plane to establish a plane rectangular coordinate system;
[0068] Establishing the relationships of force balance and moment balance in the plane rectangular coordinate system to analyze the forces on the origin in the three cases.
[0069] In this embodiment, through the establishment of the plane rectangular coordinate system and combined with the relationships of force balance and moment balance, the force conditions of the user in the three situations can be well calculated, further improving the accuracy of the analysis.
[0070] Figure 3 This is the schematic diagram of the force analysis of the first force in the method for analyzing the assistance effect of the exoskeleton for bending and lifting provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3 shown, as an optional embodiment, the specific method for obtaining the first force includes:

[0075] G1 + G2 + G3 - G4cosα + F1cosβ = 0;
[0076] Based on the principle of force balance in the horizontal direction, formula (3) is established:

[0093] Establish a plane rectangular coordinate system when the user wears the exoskeleton, the exoskeleton is in the assistance state, and the user's lumbar spine is in the bending and lifting posture;
[0094] According to the principle of moment balance, establish formula (7):
[0095] G1·L1 + G2·L2 + G3·L3 - G4'·L4 - F3·L5 + G5·L6 - G6·L7 = 0;
[0096] According to the principle of force balance in the vertical direction, establish formula (8):

[0104] If F3 < F1 and F3 < F2, it means that when the user wears the exoskeleton and the exoskeleton provides assistance to the user, the force on the user's lumbar spine is the smallest, and at this time, the exoskeleton for bending and lifting effectively provides assistance to the user;
