Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical exoskeletons, and in particular to a quickly detachable connection component and an exoskeleton binding system. Background Art

[0002] A mechanical exoskeleton is a wearable mechanical device; rehabilitation exoskeletons and weight-bearing assist exoskeletons are both examples. The stability and ease of use of an exoskeleton are crucial factors influencing its performance. The design of the exoskeleton's strap system is crucial, affecting its stability and portability.

[0003] Existing exoskeleton binding systems primarily use hooks or Velcro to secure exoskeleton components to body parts (such as the legs, waist, and arms). Exoskeletons that use Velcro are cumbersome to don, requiring the hooks to be looped around the body, threaded through the holes, and then rewound before being affixed and secured. Hooks also require significant force to disengage, requiring the hooks to be moved a considerable distance to disengage. This makes the process laborious and cumbersome.

[0004] Therefore, the existing binding system of mechanical exoskeleton cannot achieve both effective fixation and wearable portability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the purposes of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a connection assembly that can be quickly disassembled and assembled, wherein the buckle structure can be quickly connected to and disconnected from the hook, making the operation process simpler and reducing the operation time.

[0009] The sliding member can move relative to the fastener to move to a first working position or a second working position;

[0010] The magnetic component is configured such that when the snap-on structure is engaged with the hook and the sliding member is in the first working position, the magnetic component generates an attractive force so that the snap-on structure adheres to and remains engaged with the hook; when the sliding member is in the second working position, the magnetic component generates a repulsive force so that the snap-on structure is separated from the hook.

[0011] To achieve the second of the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] An exoskeleton binding system includes a connection component of the quickly detachable connection component as described in the above scheme, and also includes a support member; one end of the support member is connected to the hook, and the other end is connected to the fastener; when the fastening structure is connected to the hook, the binding system forms a ring-shaped wearable structure.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the quickly detachable connection component is designed to be able to quickly self-align, connect and disconnect through a clever structural layout and by utilizing the magnetic attraction and repulsion of the magnetic component, which saves time and effort in operation; the exoskeleton binding system can be quickly put on and removed, the operation process is simpler, the operation time is reduced, and the user experience is better.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved by the present invention more clearly understood, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0034] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0035] The present invention proposes a connection component that can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The buckle structure 20 can be quickly connected and disconnected with the hook 10, thereby realizing rapid connection or removal between the two ends of the same component or between the two ends of two components. The operation process is simple and convenient.

[0036] The connection assembly of the present invention is applicable to the binding system of a mechanical exoskeleton, which can realize the rapid disassembly and assembly of the binding system. Of course, the connection assembly is also applicable to the binding system of other wearable devices, such as waist massagers, etc.

[0037] like Figure 1-16 As shown, in one embodiment of the connection assembly of the quick-detachable connection assembly of the present invention, the connection assembly includes a hook 10, a buckle structure 20 and a magnetic assembly;

[0038] The buckle structure 20 includes a buckle 21 and a sliding member 22 slidably connected to the buckle 21;

[0039] The magnetic assembly includes a magnetic member provided on the sliding member 22 and a magnetic member provided on the hook 10;

[0040] The sliding member 22 has a first working position and a second working position. The sliding member 22 can move relative to the fastener 21 to adjust the relative position between the sliding member 22 and the fastener 21, and between the sliding member 22 and the hook 10, so as to move to the first working position or the second working position.

[0041] The magnetic component is configured as follows: when the snap-fitting structure 20 is engaged with the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 is in the first working position, the magnetic component generates an attractive force to make the snap-fitting structure 20 fit and remain engaged with the hook 10; when the snap-fitting structure 20 is engaged with the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 is in the second working position, the magnetic component generates a repulsive force to tend to move the snap-fitting structure 20 away from the hook 10, thereby separating the snap-fitting structure 20 from the hook 10.

[0042] The disassembly and assembly principles of the connection components in this embodiment are as follows:

[0043] The connecting assembly is used to realize the connection and disconnection between the two ends;

[0044] When the buckle structure 20 needs to be connected to the hook 10, the buckle structure 20 only needs to be buckled onto the hook 10 so that the two are locked together, and the sliding member 22 is automatically or manually adjusted to the first working position to achieve a stable connection between the buckle structure 20 and the hook 10. When the buckle structure 20 is in the connected state, the hook 10 provides a supporting force to the buckle structure 20, and the magnetic component provides a magnetic attraction force. Under the action of the supporting force and the magnetic attraction force, the buckle structure 20 and the hook 10 can maintain an effective connection, realize the function of connecting the two ends, and ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 The figure provides the force state of the connecting component when it is applied to the binding system and the buckling structure 20 is connected to the hook 10: the buckling structure 20 is subjected to the tensile force F1 provided by the component connected to it, and at the same time, the buckling structure 20 is subjected to the supporting force F2 provided by the hook 10 and the magnetic attraction force F3 provided by the magnetic component; under the action of the force system formed by F1, F2, and F3, the buckling structure 20 can stably maintain the connection state with the hook 10.

[0046] The quickly detachable connection component of the present invention is designed to quickly align and connect and disconnect between the buckle structure 20 and the hook 10 through a clever structural layout and by utilizing the magnetic attraction and repulsion generated by the magnetic component. It is simple to operate, has a reliable connection, and is easy to operate. When it is applied to the binding system of an exoskeleton robot, it can realize the quick and convenient donning and removal of the binding system.

[0047] In one embodiment, the magnetic assembly includes a first magnetic member 31, a second magnetic member 32, and a third magnetic member 33; the first magnetic member 31 is disposed on the hook 10, the second magnetic member 32 is disposed on the sliding member 22, and the third magnetic member 33 is disposed on the hook 10 or the sliding member 22;

[0048] When the third magnetic member 33 is provided on the hook 10, the second magnetic member 32 provided on the sliding member 22 is a first magnetic repulsion matching member; when the third magnetic member 33 is provided on the sliding member 22, the third magnetic member 33 provided on the hook 10 is a first magnetic repulsion matching member;

[0049] When the fastening structure 20 is connected to the hook 10, the fastener 21 is engaged with the hook 10, the sliding member 22 is in the first working position, and the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 are close to each other to generate magnetic attraction, so that the fastening structure 20 and the hook 10 are in contact with each other and remain engaged;

[0050] When the fastening structure 20 needs to be separated from the hook 10, when the sliding member 22 is moved from the first working position to the second working position, the third magnetic member 33 and the first magnetic repulsion matching member approach each other to generate a magnetic repulsion force, and the magnetic repulsion force tends to cause the fastening structure 20 to move away from the hook 10, thereby detaching from the hook 10.

[0051] When the third magnetic member 33 is provided on the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 moves to the second working position, a repulsive force is generated between the third magnetic member 33 and the second magnetic member 32; when the third magnetic member 33 is provided on the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 moves to the second working position, a repulsive force is generated between the third magnetic member 33 and the first magnetic member 31.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first magnetic component 31 , the second magnetic component 32 and the third magnetic component 33 are all magnets.

[0053] Among them, when the buckling structure 20 is preparing to be connected to the hook 10, there is an attractive force between the first magnetic part 31 and the second magnetic part 32, which has a guiding role. During the connection process, there is no need to accurately align the buckling structure 20 with the hook 10, and the connection is convenient; when the connection between the buckling structure 20 and the hook 10 needs to be released, it is only necessary to move the sliding part 22 to separate the buckling structure 20 from the hook 10, thereby realizing quick and convenient separation between the buckling structure 20 and the hook 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, by distributing the magnetic parts in this way, the magnetic components can provide attraction or repulsion, and the structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0055] In other embodiments, the magnetic component may provide the attraction and repulsion through other means such as electromagnetic components.

[0056] In one embodiment, on the basis of achieving effective support of the hook 10 on the buckle structure 20, the two can be quickly separated under the action of magnetic repulsion, and the connection structure is configured as follows:

[0057] The hook 10 includes a base 11 and a support portion 12; a first magnetic member 31 is disposed on the base 11; the base 11 includes a first surface, and the support portion 12 protrudes relative to the first surface; a side surface of the support portion 12 adjacent to the first surface is a support surface;

[0058] When the fastener 21 is engaged with the hook 10, one of the two adjacent surfaces of the fastener 21 is against the first surface of the base 11, and the other surface is against the support surface of the support portion 12; the support portion 12 is used to provide supporting force to the base 11, so as to keep the fastening structure 20 in a state connected with the hook 10 under the action of the tension acting on the fastening structure 20.

[0059] By configuring the hook 10 in the above manner, it is possible to ensure that the fastening structure 20 is stably connected to the hook 10 when the sliding member 22 is in the first working position; at the same time, when the sliding member 22 moves to the second working position, the fastening structure 20 can automatically spring away from the base 11 under the action of the magnetic repulsion force. When the fastening structure 20 springs away from the support portion 12, the fastening structure 20 is disconnected from the hook 10, and the removal operation of the fastening structure 20 is simple and quick.

[0060] In one embodiment, in order to make the connection between the fastening structure 20 and the hook 10 simpler and faster, the connection assembly is configured so that the sliding member 22 can automatically return to the first working position from other positions when no external force is applied.

[0061] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly also includes an elastic return member 24, which is arranged between the sliding member 22 and the fastener 21. The elastic return member 24 is configured as follows: when an external force drives the sliding member 22 to leave the first working position, the elastic force is accumulated, and the elastic force acts on the sliding member 22; the elastic force is used to drive the sliding member 22 to return to the first working position.

[0062] In the connection assembly of this embodiment, the sliding member 22 is maintained in the first working position under the action of the elastic reset member 24 in the normal state; when the position of the sliding member 22 needs to be adjusted, an external force is applied to the sliding member 22 to drive the sliding member 22 to move to the second working position. When the external force is removed, the sliding member 22 automatically moves back to the first working position under the action of the elastic reset member 24; in this way, when it is necessary to fasten the connecting structure 20 and the hook 10 again, there is no need to manually adjust the position of the sliding member 22 again.

[0063] That is, the connection component in this embodiment only requires manual adjustment of the position of the sliding member 22 when the buckling structure 20 is detached from the hook 10; when the buckling structure 20 is connected to the hook 10, there is no need to adjust the position of the sliding member 22, thereby making the operation of the connection component more convenient.

[0064] In one embodiment, the elastic restoring member 24 is a spring, which can provide a stable elastic restoring force.

[0065] In other embodiments, the elastic return member 24 may also be a metal spring or the like.

[0066] In one embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the buckle structure 20 and the hook 10 and to ensure that the buckle structure 20 can be more smoothly opened, the connection component is configured with a magnetic component in the following manner:

[0067] The magnetic component includes at least a first magnetic matching component and a second magnetic matching component;

[0068] The first magnetic matching component and the second magnetic matching component are spaced apart;

[0069] The first magnetic matching assembly includes: a first magnetic member 31, a second magnetic member 32 and a third magnetic member 33;

[0070] The second magnetic matching assembly includes: a fourth magnetic member 34, a fifth magnetic member 35 and a sixth magnetic member 36;

[0071] The fourth magnetic member 34 is provided on the hook 10 , the fifth magnetic member 35 is provided on the sliding member 22 , and the sixth magnetic member 36 is provided on the hook 10 or the sliding member 22 ;

[0072] When the fastener 21 is engaged with the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 is in the first working position, the fourth magnetic member 34 and the fifth magnetic member 35 are attracted to each other;

[0073] When the sixth magnetic member 36 is provided on the hook 10, the fifth magnetic member 35 provided on the sliding member 22 is a second magnetic repulsion matching member; when the sixth magnetic member 36 is provided on the sliding member 22, the fourth magnetic member 34 provided on the hook 10 is a second magnetic repulsion matching member;

[0074] When the sliding member 22 moves from the magnetic position to the second working position, the sixth magnetic member 36 and the fifth magnetic member 35 repel each other or the fourth magnetic member 34 repel each other, so that the sliding member 22 drives the fastening structure 20 to bounce away from the hook 10.

[0075] In this embodiment, all magnetic components in the magnetic assembly are magnets.

[0076] In other embodiments, a third group, a fourth group, and multiple groups of magnetic matching components may be included.

[0077] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 、 3 As shown, the third magnetic member 33, the first magnetic member 31, the sixth magnetic member 36 and the fourth magnetic member 34 are provided on the hook 10 and arranged in sequence, and the second magnetic member 32 and the fifth magnetic member 35 are provided on the sliding member 22 and arranged in sequence;

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2 When the fastening structure 20 is engaged with the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 is in the first working position, the second magnetic member 32 is aligned with the first magnetic member 31 and attracted to each other, the second magnetic member 32 is offset from the third magnetic member 33, the fifth magnetic member 35 is aligned with the fourth magnetic member 34 and attracted to each other, and the fifth magnetic member 35 is offset from the sixth magnetic member 36. The magnetic attraction at these two locations can make the connection between the fastening structure 20 and the hook 10 more stable.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 3 When the buckling structure 20 needs to be detached from the hook 10, the sliding member 22 is moved to the second working position so that the second magnetic member 32 is staggered with the first magnetic member 31, the second magnetic member 32 is aligned with the third magnetic member 33 and repel each other, the fifth magnetic member 35 is staggered with the fourth magnetic member 34, and the fifth magnetic member 35 is aligned with the sixth magnetic member 36 and repel each other. Through the two magnetic repulsive forces, the buckling structure 20 can be more reliably popped open.

[0080] In this embodiment, all magnetic components provided on the hook 10 are provided on the base 11 .

[0081] In this embodiment, when the fastening structure 20 is connected to the hook 10, the fastening structure 20 is located outside the base 11. The magnetic poles of the first magnetic member 31, the third magnetic member 33, the fourth magnetic member 34, and the sixth magnetic member 36 facing outward (toward the fastener 21) are the first, third, fourth, and sixth magnetic poles, respectively; the magnetic poles of the second magnetic member 32 and the fifth magnetic member 35 facing inward (toward the base 11) are the second and fifth magnetic poles, respectively.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first magnetic pole is an N pole, the second magnetic pole is an S pole, and the third magnetic pole is an S pole; the fourth magnetic pole is an N pole, the fifth magnetic pole is an S pole, and the sixth magnetic pole is an S pole.

[0083] In this embodiment, mounting grooves for accommodating magnetic components are respectively provided on the base 11 and the sliding member 22 . The magnetic components are fixed in the mounting grooves by gluing or other fixing methods to realize the assembly of the magnetic components on the hook 10 and the sliding member 22 .

[0084] In other embodiments, the magnetic poles may be configured in other ways, as long as the magnetic poles that need to attract each other can be configured to be opposite in polarity, and the magnetic poles that need to repel each other can be configured to be the same.

[0085] In other embodiments, the third magnetic component 33 , the second magnetic component 32 , the sixth magnetic component 36 and the fifth magnetic component 35 may be arranged in sequence on the sliding component 22 , and the first magnetic component 31 and the fourth magnetic component 34 may be arranged in sequence on the hook 10 .

[0086] In other embodiments, the magnetic components in the magnetic attraction assembly can be arranged in other ways, as long as two or more magnetic attraction forces are provided when the sliding member 22 is in the magnetic attraction state; and two or more magnetic repulsion forces are provided when the sliding member 22 is in the second working position.

[0087] In one embodiment, a lateral opening 213 is formed on the second surface of the fastener 21 and communicates with the guide groove 211 , so that the magnetic poles of the magnetic member in the sliding member 22 are exposed from the lateral opening 213 , thereby better realizing the magnetic coordination of magnetic attraction and magnetic repulsion between the sliding member 22 and the hook 10 .

[0088] In one embodiment, the first magnetic matching component and the second magnetic matching component are spaced apart along the length direction of the base 11 of the hook 10 .

[0089] In one embodiment, in order to ensure that the sliding member 22 can slide reliably relative to the fastener 21 and improve the appearance of the fastening structure 20, a guide groove 211 is provided inside the fastener 21, and the sliding member 22 is inserted into the guide groove 211. The guiding effect of the guide groove 211 limits the sliding direction of the sliding member 22, thereby ensuring the reliable movement of the sliding member 22.

[0090] In one embodiment, based on the structure of the guide groove 211, in order to facilitate the user to operate the slider 22 to adjust the position of the slider 22, an end opening 212 is provided at the end of the fastener 21, which is connected to the guide groove 211. The slider 22 is inserted into the guide groove 211, and the slider 22 has the freedom to move along the length direction of the guide groove 211.

[0091] One end of the sliding member 22 is an operating end 221. When the sliding member 22 is in the first working position, the operating end 221 extends out of the guide groove 211 from the end opening 212. In this way, the operating end 221 provides the user with an operating position for applying external force. The user can adjust the position of the sliding member 22 by applying external force to the operating end 221.

[0092] In this embodiment, the sliding member 22 in the first working position is suitable for moving toward the inside of the guide groove 211 when the operating end 221 is subjected to pressing pressure, so as to leave the first working position and move to the second working position, thereby realizing the removal of the buckle structure 20; when the external force acting on the operating end 221 is removed, the sliding member 22 is suitable for returning to the second working position under the action of the elastic reset member 24.

[0093] The connection assembly in this embodiment makes connection and removal operations simple and convenient for the user, saving time and effort.

[0094] In one embodiment, the connection component is configured as a binding system suitable for a leg exoskeleton device. When the connection component is used, the two ends of the support member 40 in the binding system are respectively connected to the hook 10 and the buckle structure 20. When the buckle structure 20 is connected to or removed from the hook 10, the binding system can be worn and removed.

[0095] When the connecting assembly is used in a leg exoskeleton device including a left leg binding system and a right leg binding system, in order to facilitate the user to operate the slider 22 and unlock the connecting assembly, it is generally necessary to configure the connecting assembly in the binding system to a position corresponding to the outer side of the thigh. On this basis, in order to make the connecting assembly more applicable to both the left leg binding system and the right leg binding system, the connecting assembly is configured as follows:

[0096] Also includes an end seat 25;

[0097] The fastener 21 has end openings 212 at opposite ends thereof that communicate with the guide groove 211 ; the sliding member 22 is connected to the fastener 21 via a first connecting member; the end seat 25 is inserted into one end opening 212 thereof and connected to the fastener 21 via a second connecting member;

[0098] The end of the sliding member 22 away from the operating end 221 is the connecting end, and the elastic return member 24 is clamped between the end base 25 and the connecting end; when the sliding member 22 is in the first working position, the operating end 221 extends out of the guide groove 211 from the other end opening 212.

[0099] Through the arrangement of this embodiment, the end seat 25 can be assembled in one of the two end openings 212 according to actual needs, so that the operating end 221 of the sliding member 22 can be extended from the designated end opening 212.

[0100] In one embodiment, the second connecting member is a second pin 262 .

[0101] In one embodiment, the elastic return member 24 is a spring; the connecting end of the sliding member 22 is provided with a first mounting hole 223, and the end seat 25 is provided with a second mounting hole 251, and the two ends of the spring are respectively inserted into the first mounting hole 223 and the second mounting hole 251, so that the spring can reliably apply an elastic return force to the sliding member 22.

[0102] The connection component in 15 is for the left leg binding system. Figure 16 The connecting assembly is suitable for the right leg binding system. Since the end seat 25 can be assembled to different end openings 212 according to actual selection, other structures in the binding system do not need to be changed or adjusted. It only needs to satisfy that when the sliding parts 22 in the connecting assembly of the left and right legs are in the first working position, they are extended from the end opening 212 on the side close to the waist, which is convenient for the user to operate the sliding part 22.

[0103] In one embodiment, in order to allow the sliding member 22 to slide only within a certain range and prevent the sliding member 22 from falling out of the fastener 21 through the end opening 212, the connecting assembly is configured as follows:

[0104] The sliding member 22 is provided with a limiting strip hole 222, and the length direction of the limiting strip hole 222 is the same as the length direction of the guide groove 211; the first connecting member is a first pin shaft 261, and the first pin shaft 261 passes through the limiting strip hole 222, and the two ends of the pin shaft are respectively connected to the fastener 21; when the first pin shaft 261 is against the hole wall of the upper end of the limiting strip hole 222 in the length direction, the sliding freedom of the sliding member 22 is restricted; the length of the limiting strip hole 222 limits the movable range of the sliding member 22.

[0105] In this embodiment, the hole wall of the limiting strip hole 222 close to the end seat 25 is used to prevent the sliding member 22 from escaping from the guide groove 211 through the end opening 212 .

[0106] In one embodiment, in order to enable the fastening structure 20 to be more smoothly separated from the hook 10 under the action of the magnetic repulsion force, an arc-shaped boss 122 is provided on the support portion 12 of the hook 10 to provide rotation support through the arc-shaped boss 122.

[0107] In this embodiment, the support portion 12 includes a support body 121 and an arc-shaped boss 122 protruding relative to the support body 121 , and the fastener 21 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 214 whose shape matches the arc-shaped boss 122 ;

[0108] When the buckle structure 20 is connected to the hook 10, the arc-shaped boss 122 is embedded in the arc-shaped groove 214;

[0109] After the sliding member 22 moves from the first working position to the second working position, the buckling structure 20 is acted upon by the magnetic repulsive force, driving the buckling structure 20 to rotate around the arc-shaped boss 122 relative to the hook 10 in a direction away from the base 11 to disengage from the hook 10, thereby realizing the removal of the buckling structure 20.

[0110] In this embodiment, the side of the support surface close to the first surface is a plane, and the side away from the first surface is a convex arc surface (that is, the outer surface of the arc-shaped boss 122). In this way, the fastener 21 can be more reliably supported by the plane, and the arc-shaped surface can provide rotation guidance for the fastener 21.

[0111] By designing the arc-shaped boss 122 on the support portion 12 , the freedom of the buckle structure 20 to rotate away from the base portion 11 with the arc-shaped boss 122 as the rotation fulcrum will not be hindered, and smoother unhooking can be achieved.

[0112] In one embodiment, in order to make the snap connection between the snap connection structure 20 and the hook 10 more convenient and quick, it also includes plug-in positioning parts that cooperate with each other and are respectively provided on the hook 10 and the fastener 21. When the snap connection structure 20 is connected to the hook 10, the plug-in positioning parts are plugged in for positioning and limiting.

[0113] In this embodiment, the base 11 of the hook 10 is provided with a first plug-in positioning portion, and the fastener 21 is provided with a second plug-in positioning portion. The first plug-in positioning portion is used to plug and cooperate with the second plug-in positioning portion to achieve the connection and positioning between the hook 10 and the fastener 21.

[0114] In one embodiment, the first plug-in positioning portion is a positioning recess 13, and the second plug-in positioning portion is a positioning protrusion 215; when the snap-fit ​​structure 20 needs to be snap-fitted and connected with the hook 10, the positioning protrusion 215 is inserted into the positioning recess 13. Through the guidance of the positioning protrusion 215 and the positioning recess 13, it can be ensured that when snapping together, the first surface of the base 11 and the second surface of the fastener 21 are close to each other, avoiding axial installation misalignment and ensuring mutual cooperation between the magnetic parts.

[0115] The positioning recess 13 may be a positioning through hole or a positioning groove.

[0116] In other embodiments, the first plug-in positioning portion may be configured as the positioning protrusion 215 , and the second plug-in positioning portion may be configured as the positioning recess 13 .

[0117] The present invention also proposes an exoskeleton binding system, which is applied to an exoskeleton robot and is used to be worn on the user's body parts, such as legs, arms, waist, etc., to connect other components or devices in the system to form a linkage system.

[0118] The exoskeleton binding system of the present invention is quick and convenient to put on and take off, has a good fixing effect after putting on, is easy for users to operate, and provides a better user experience.

[0125] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the circumference, a through-opening is provided in the buckle structure 20; the two opposite ends of the strap 50 are respectively a first end and a second section; the strap 50 includes a first adhesive portion formed between the first end and the second end, and a second adhesive portion arranged near the second end; the first end of the strap 50 is connected to the support member 40, and the other end passes through the through-opening and is folded back in the direction of the first end, so that the second adhesive portion is adhered to the first adhesive portion, thereby realizing the connection between the strap 50 and the buckle structure 20.

[0126] In this embodiment, the circumference of the ring formed by the binding system can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the binding strap 50 passing through the insertion opening and the length of the binding strap 50 between the support member 40 and the fastening structure 20. When the circumference needs to be adjusted again, the second adhesive portion is separated from the first adhesive portion, the binding strap 50 is adjusted, and the binding strap 50 is reattached after the adjustment is completed. The circumference of the binding system of this embodiment is easily adjustable and can ensure the effective fixation of the binding system.

[0127] In one embodiment, the buckling structure 20 provides a through-opening in the following manner: the buckling structure 20 also includes a swinging member 23, and both ends of the swinging member 23 are rotatably connected to the fastener 21 through a rotating shaft, so that a through-opening is formed between the swinging member 23 and the fastener 21; in this way, the strap 50 can be passed through to achieve the connection between the strap 50 and the buckling structure 20, and the relative angle between the fastener 21 and the strap 50 can be adjusted to adapt to the shape of the user's binding part and ensure the binding effect.

[0128] In one embodiment, the swing member 23 is a U-shaped structure, and the swing member 23 includes a swing body and a swing arm formed at opposite ends of the swing body and protruding relative to the swing arm body. The swing arm is rotatably connected to the fastener 21 through a first rotating shaft 271, and a through-opening is formed between the swing arm, the swing body and the fastener 21.

[0129] In this embodiment, the swing member 23 includes two swing arms, and the two swing arms are rotatably connected to the fastener 21 through two pins respectively, and the first rotation shaft 271 is a pin.

[0130] In one embodiment, in order to ensure effective fixation of the binding system, the support member 40 and the hook 10 are rotatably connected via a second rotating shaft 272. In this way, the relative angle between the support member 40 and the hook 10 can be adjusted to adapt to the shape of the user's binding part to ensure the binding effect.

[0131] In one embodiment, the exoskeleton binding system is a leg binding system or an arm binding system.
