[0008] The foot structure 5 includes a spring return device D5-1, a foot plate 5-2, a foot strap 5-3, a spring return sleeve 5-1-1, a spring return push rod 5-1-2, a spring return top shaft 5-1-3, and a compression spring D5-1-4. The connection relationship between the components is as follows: the spring return top shaft 5-1-3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the ankle joint support 4-3-4; the spring return push rod 5-1-2 is installed as a boss into the groove of the spring return sleeve 5-1-1; the two ends of the compression spring D5-1-4 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the spring return sleeve 5-1-1 and the inner side of the spring return push rod 5-1-2; the spring return sleeve 5-1-1 is fixedly connected to the foot plate 5-2; and the foot strap 5-3 is hinged to the foot plate 5-2 through a rotating joint.

[0009] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0010] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 An adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain consists of a load-bearing platform 1 worn on the user's waist, a hemodialysis machine 2, a wearable fixing structure 3, a leg structure 4, and a foot structure 5.

[0011] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4, Figure 5 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 When the leg structure 4 of a passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain swings inward and outward around the hip joint, the hip joint connector 4-1-1 and the auxiliary connector 4-1-2 are both in the same plane, causing the swing rod 4-1-3 to swing accordingly. This causes the compression spring rod A4-1-5, which is hinged to the swing rod 4-1-3, to extend or shorten. Since the two ends of the compression spring A4-1-4 are respectively fixed to the outer side of the disc of the compression spring rod A4-1-5 and the inner top of the compression spring sleeve A4-1-6, when the compression spring rod A4-1-5 extends or shortens, the compression spring A4-1-4 will be stretched or compressed accordingly, so that energy is stored in the compression spring A4-1-4. When the leg structure 4 swings inward and outward around the hip joint, the potential energy stored in the spring return device A4-1 will suppress the amplitude of the inward and outward swing and provide a restoring force to return to the normal state.

[0012] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 In a leg structure 4 of a passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain, when in an upright gait, the thigh skeleton 4-2, the lower leg skeleton 4-3, and the load-bearing linkage device 4-4 transfer the load from top to bottom to the ground to achieve the load-bearing effect. When in a walking gait, the gas spring sleeve 4-4-2 and the gas spring sleeve 4-4-1 of the load-bearing linkage device 4-4 can be relatively stationary at a certain position, and the load can also be transferred to the ground through the thigh linkage 4-2-1 and the lower leg linkage 4-3-1, thereby realizing the load-bearing capacity during walking.

[0013] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 An adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain has an assistive linkage device 4-5 that connects the knee joint and ankle joint at the rear end of the lower leg linkage 4-3-1. When in an upright gait, the compression spring B4-5-1 in the assistive linkage device 4-5 is at its original length. When in a walking gait, the distance from the end of the auxiliary linkage 4-2-4 to the ankle joint decreases, causing the compression spring B4-5-1 to be compressed. During walking, kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy and stored in the compression spring B4-5-1. When returning to an upright gait, it provides a restoring force, thus achieving the effect of assisting walking.

[0014] Reference Figure 1, Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 A passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain is described. During normal walking, the hip joint swings back and forth. A spring energy storage device B4-6 is installed at the hip joint, which contains two sets of opposing spiral springs B4-6-4. The inner end cap 4-6-1 and the inner side of the outer end cap 4-6-2 of the spring energy storage device B are both equipped with pawls, which are in opposite directions. When the thigh swings forward, one set of spiral springs B4-6-4 interacts with the pawls on the inner side of the end cap, storing the wearer's gravitational potential energy due to the added load in the spring energy storage device B4-6. When returning to an upright gait, the spring energy storage device B4-6 releases energy, providing assistance; the same applies when the thigh swings backward.

[0015] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 A passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain has a unidirectional swing amplitude of the knee joint during normal walking. A spring energy storage device C4-7 is provided at the knee joint. Its working principle is the same as that of the spring energy storage device B4-6. The difference is that the spiral spring C4-7-4 is in the same direction, and only the inner end cap 4-7-1 of the spring energy storage device C has a pawl.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 In a passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain, when the foot structure 5 swings inward and outward around the ankle joint, the spring return device D5-1 functions the same as the spring return device A4-1. The principle is as follows: When the ankle joint is not swinging, the compression spring D5-1-4 is at its original length. After the foot plate 5-2 and the ankle joint support 4-3-4 swing at an angle, the spring return top shaft 5-1-3 forces the spring return push rod 5-1-2 to move outward towards the outer side of the spring return sleeve 5-1-1. This causes the compression spring D5-1-4 located between the spring return sleeve 5-1-1 and the spring return push rod 5-1-2 to be compressed, thus reacting back to the spring return top shaft 5-1-3 to provide a restoring force. The same principle applies when the ankle joint swings in the opposite direction; the compression spring D5-1-4 on the opposite side then comes into play, providing a corresponding restoring force.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 An adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain has a structure 4-8 with adjustable leg strap height on the inner side of the thigh link 4-2-1 and the calf link 4-3-1 in the leg structure 4. By installing strap springs 4-8-3 at the upper and lower ends of the fixed sides of the thigh strap 4-8-1 and the calf strap 4-8-2, the straps can be adjusted within a certain range during walking, reducing the restraining effect of the straps on the wearer.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 An adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain has a leg length adjustment device on the upper end of the thigh link 4-2-1 and the lower section of the calf link 4-3-1 in the leg structure 4. By adjusting the corresponding buckle positions at the connection points of the hip joint link 4-2-2 and the thigh link 4-2-1 and the ankle joint link 4-3-2 and the calf link 4-3-1, the device can meet the needs of wearers with different body types.

[0021] 2.

This makes the device applicable to many scenarios, with a large working range and strong practicality.

[0022] 3. The present invention provides an adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain, which is equipped with spring energy storage devices at the hip joint and ankle joint. During walking, the gravitational potential energy of the wearer and the load-bearing equipment is converted into elastic potential energy, and then the potential energy is converted into the mechanical energy required for walking. This makes the structure more compact and more practical under passive conditions.

[0023] 4. The adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain of the present invention is applicable to a wider range of people and provides a more comfortable experience for the wearer. The fine adjustment device of the strap can increase "fault tolerance" while ensuring a secure fixation, and has strong practicality.

[0024] 5. The present invention provides an adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain. The carrying equipment can be flexibly replaced as needed, and the ingenious mechanical mechanism can handle work in more fields, making it highly practical.

[0050] The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 An adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain consists of a load-bearing platform 1 worn on the user's waist, a hemodialysis machine 2, a wearable fixing structure 3, a leg structure 4, and a foot structure 5, which can complete the task of carrying experimental devices to assist walking.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 , Figure 18When the leg structure 4 of a passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain swings inward and outward around the hip joint, the hip joint connector 4-1-1 and the auxiliary connector 4-1-2 are both in the same plane, causing the swing rod 4-1-3 to swing accordingly. This causes the compression spring rod A4-1-5, which is hinged to the swing rod 4-1-3, to extend or shorten. Since the two ends of the compression spring A4-1-4 are respectively fixed to the outer side of the disc of the compression spring rod A4-1-5 and the inner top of the compression spring sleeve A4-1-6, when the compression spring rod A4-1-5 extends or shortens, the compression spring A4-1-4 will be stretched or compressed accordingly, so that energy is stored in the compression spring A4-1-4. When the leg structure 4 swings inward and outward around the hip joint, the potential energy stored in the spring return device A4-1 will suppress the amplitude of the inward and outward swing and provide a restoring force to return to the normal state.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 In a leg structure 4 of a passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain, when in an upright gait, the thigh skeleton 4-2, the lower leg skeleton 4-3, and the load-bearing linkage device 4-4 transfer the load from top to bottom to the ground to achieve the load-bearing effect. When in a walking gait, the gas spring sleeve 4-4-2 and the gas spring sleeve 4-4-1 of the load-bearing linkage device 4-4 can be relatively stationary at a certain position, and the load can also be transferred to the ground through the thigh linkage 4-2-1 and the lower leg linkage 4-3-1, thereby realizing the load-bearing capacity during walking.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 An adaptive passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain has an assistive linkage device 4-5 that connects the knee joint and ankle joint at the rear end of the lower leg linkage 4-3-1. When in an upright gait, the compression spring B4-5-1 in the assistive linkage device 4-5 is at its original length. When in a walking gait, the distance from the end of the auxiliary linkage 4-2-4 to the ankle joint decreases, causing the compression spring B4-5-1 to be compressed. During walking, kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy and stored in the compression spring B4-5-1. When returning to an upright gait, it provides a restoring force, thus achieving the effect of assisting walking.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 17, Figure 18 A passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain is described. During normal walking, the hip joint swings back and forth. A spring energy storage device B4-6 is installed at the hip joint, which contains two sets of opposing spiral springs B4-6-4. The inner end cap 4-6-1 and the inner side of the outer end cap 4-6-2 of the spring energy storage device B are both equipped with pawls, which are in opposite directions. When the thigh swings forward, one set of spiral springs B4-6-4 interacts with the pawls on the inner side of the end cap, storing the wearer's gravitational potential energy due to the added load in the spring energy storage device B4-6. When returning to an upright gait, the spring energy storage device B4-6 releases energy, providing assistance; the same applies when the thigh swings backward.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 10 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 A passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device adapted to complex terrain has a unidirectional swing amplitude of the knee joint during normal walking. A spring energy storage device C4-7 is provided at the knee joint. Its working principle is the same as that of the spring energy storage device B4-6. The difference is that the spiral spring C4-7-4 is in the same direction, and only the inner end cap 4-7-1 of the spring energy storage device C has a pawl.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 In a passive wearable hemodialysis machine load device for complex terrain, when the foot structure 5 swings inward and outward around the ankle joint, the spring return device D5-1 functions the same as the spring return device A4-1. The principle is as follows: When the ankle joint is not swinging, the compression spring D5-1-4 is at its original length. After the foot plate 5-2 and the ankle joint support 4-3-4 swing at an angle, the spring return top shaft 5-1-3 forces the spring return push rod 5-1-2 to move outward towards the outer side of the spring return sleeve 5-1-1. This causes the compression spring D5-1-4 located between the spring return sleeve 5-1-1 and the spring return push rod 5-1-2 to be compressed, thus reacting back to the spring return top shaft 5-1-3 to provide a restoring force.
