[0010] The second motor pulls the thigh ring through the steel cable, causing the entire lower limb part of the robot exoskeleton to rotate around the axis of the steel cable, simulating the worker's leg-lifting movement. When working at high altitudes, the worker can sit on the support mechanism and rotate around the center of the turntable through the support mechanism, simulating the worker's waist twisting movement.
[0011] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism includes an articulated chassis, a telescopic cylinder, an articulated top plate, a curved seat, a hinge shaft, a back plate, a first spring, a sliding seat and a waist-fixing mechanism. The articulated chassis is rotatably connected to the supporting mechanism, the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the articulated chassis, the output end of the telescopic cylinder is hinged to the articulated top plate, the curved seat is fixedly connected to the articulated top plate and the hinge shaft, the back plate is hinged to the hinge shaft, a slide groove is provided on the back plate, the first spring is fixedly connected to the slide groove and the sliding seat, the sliding seat is slidably connected to the slide groove, and the sliding seat is rotatably connected to the waist-fixing mechanism.
[0012] The worker tightens his waist through the waist-fixing mechanism. When standing, the backboard fits the back and the curved seat fits the buttocks. When a support point is needed for high-altitude work, the worker can sit back and articulate with the articulated chassis through the telescopic cylinder. The output end of the telescopic cylinder is articulated with the articulated top plate, so that the hinge axis rotates around the backboard. The curved seat and the backboard form a right angle, providing a support point for the worker to sit and work in the air.
[0013] Furthermore, the waist fixing mechanism includes an annular shell, a third motor, a bevel gear head, a bevel gear ring platform, an arc track seat, an enclosing seat, a fastening mechanism and a top shell. The annular shell is rotatably connected to the sliding seat, the third motor is fixedly connected to the annular shell, a through hole is provided on the annular shell, the output end of the third motor is rotatably connected to the through hole, the output end of the third motor is fixedly connected to the bevel gear head, the bevel gear ring platform is rotatably connected to the annular shell, the bevel gear ring platform is meshed with the tooth surface of the bevel gear head, a vortex track is provided on the bevel gear ring platform, a first groove and a first protrusion are provided on the arc track seat, a second groove and a second protrusion are provided on the enclosing seat, the first groove and the second groove are both slidably connected to the vortex track, the top shell is fixedly connected to the annular shell, a first displacement groove and a second displacement groove are provided on the top shell, the first protrusion is slidably connected to the first displacement groove, the second protrusion is slidably connected to the second displacement groove, the enclosing seat is fixedly connected to the fastening mechanism, and the arc track seat is slidably connected to the fastening mechanism.
[0014] When a worker wears the exoskeleton robot, he passes his waist through the waist-fixing mechanism. The output torque of the third motor is meshed with the bevel tooth surface of the bevel gear ring table through the bevel gear head installed at the output end, so that the bevel gear ring table rotates around the center of the ring shell through the vortex track set on the bevel gear ring table. The starting point of the vortex track is on the outside of the bevel gear ring table and the end point is at the center of the bevel gear ring table. The vortex track is a vortex-shaped slide track. Because the first groove of the arc track seat and the second groove of the enclosing seat are slidably connected with the vortex track, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are restricted in freedom by the first displacement groove and the second displacement groove, and can only be displaced along the first displacement groove and the second displacement groove. When the vortex track rotates, as the slide point from the starting point to the end point on the vortex track passes through the first groove and the second groove, the first groove and the second groove are driven to displace along the first displacement groove and the second displacement groove toward the center of the vortex track, the arc track seat and the enclosing seat close toward the center of the ring shell, and the fastening mechanism slides along the arc track seat to fix the worker's waist.
[0015] Furthermore, the fastening mechanism includes a base plate, a spring hinge, a sliding shaft and a pressing mechanism. The base plate is provided with several groups, and several groups of base plates are fixedly connected to the spring hinges. The sliding shaft and the pressing mechanism are provided with several groups, and several groups of sliding shafts are fixedly connected to the base plate and the pressing mechanism. The sliding shaft is slidably connected to the arc rail seat.
[0016] Before the fastening mechanism is closed, the spring hinge itself is in a linear state due to its elasticity, and the sliding shafts at both ends are in contact with the arc rail seats at both ends respectively. When the arc rail seat and the enclosing seat are closed toward the center of the circle, several sliding shafts slide along the arc rail seat, and several groups of pressing mechanisms contact the waist of the worker, so that the force balance and tightening of the worker's waist is achieved.
[0017] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a base, a length measuring motor, a second spring and a suction cup. The base is fixedly connected to the sliding shaft, the length measuring motor is slidably connected to the base, the output end of the length measuring motor is fixedly connected to the base, the second spring is fixedly connected to the base and the length measuring motor, and the suction cup is fixedly connected to one end of the length measuring motor away from the second spring.
[0018] When the pressing mechanism tightens the worker's waist, it contacts the worker's waist through several groups of suction cups. As the third motor continues to output torque, the arc track seat and the enclosing seat continue to close toward the center of the circle, and the radius of the virtual ring formed by the arc track seat and the enclosing seat decreases. After the suction cup contacts the worker's waist, the length measuring motor is pushed by the waist to slide along the base, and is fixedly connected to the base and the length measuring motor through the second spring, so that the suction cup tightens the waist. The output end of the length measuring motor is fixed on the base, and the sliding caused by tightening the waist detected by the main body is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the third motor. The third motor stops outputting torque, and the tightening mechanism completes the uniform tightening of the waist.

[0020] The output end of the servo cylinder pushes the articulated jaw to hinge and rotate on the articulated frame, and the articulated jaw clamps and closes to grasp. By passing current into the strong magnet, the strong magnet generates a strong magnetic force to adsorb metal parts in the high-altitude working environment. The right-angle grooves on the strong magnet can better clamp metal parts of different shapes, and the larger contact area makes the clamping more secure.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention designs a supporting mechanism, and the worker tightens his waist through the waist-fixing mechanism. When standing, the backboard fits the back, and the curved seat fits the buttocks. When a support point is needed for aerial work, the worker can sit back and articulate with the articulated chassis through the telescopic cylinder, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder is articulated with the articulated top plate, so that the hinge axis rotates around the backboard, and the curved seat and the backboard form a right angle, providing a support point for the worker to sit and work in the air; the present invention designs a waist-fixing mechanism, and when the worker wears the exoskeleton robot, he passes his waist through the waist-fixing mechanism, and the first The output torque of the three motors is meshed with the bevel tooth surface of the bevel gear ring table through the bevel gear head installed at the output end, so that the bevel gear ring table rotates around the center of the ring shell, and passes through the vortex track set on the bevel gear ring table. The starting point of the vortex track is on the outside of the bevel gear ring table, and the end point is at the center of the bevel gear ring table. The vortex track is a slide track of the eddy current device, which can only move along the first displacement groove and the second displacement groove. Because the first groove of the arc track seat and the second groove of the enclosing seat are slidably connected with the vortex track, the first protrusion and the second protrusion are restricted in freedom by the first displacement groove and the second displacement groove. When the vortex track rotates, as the vortex track is moved by the starting The sliding point from the point to the end point passes through the first groove and the second groove, driving the first groove and the second groove to move along the first displacement groove and the second displacement groove toward the center of the vortex track, the arc track seat and the enclosing seat close toward the center of the ring shell, the fastening mechanism slides along the arc track seat to fix the worker's waist, several groups of pressing mechanisms contact the worker's waist, and several groups of suction cups contact the worker's waist. As the third motor continues to output torque, the arc track seat and the enclosing seat continue to close toward the center of the circle, and the radius of the virtual ring formed by the arc track seat and the enclosing seat decreases. After the suction cup contacts the worker's waist, the length measuring motor is pushed by the waist to slide along the base , the second spring is fixedly connected to the base and the length measuring motor, so that the suction cup tightens the waist, the output end of the length measuring motor is fixed on the base, and the sliding caused by tightening the waist detected by the main body is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the third motor, the third motor stops outputting torque, and the tightening mechanism completes the uniform tightening of the waist; the present invention can provide auxiliary support for workers performing high-altitude maintenance operations to sit down, and at the same time, the waist of the workers is tightened evenly to ensure that the workers are not squeezed while tightening their waists, which not only provides convenience for high-altitude maintenance operations, but also greatly reduces the risk of falling from a height.

[0043] When a worker wears the exoskeleton robot, he puts his waist through the waist-fixing mechanism 69, and the third motor 692 outputs torque through the bevel gear head 693 installed at the output end, meshing with the bevel gear surface of the bevel gear ring platform 694, so that the bevel gear ring platform 694 rotates around the center of the ring shell 691, through the vortex track 6941 set on the bevel gear ring platform 694, the starting point of the vortex track 6941 is outside the bevel gear ring platform 694, and the end point is at the center of the bevel gear ring platform 694. The vortex track 6941 is a vortex-shaped slide track. Because the first groove 6951 of the arc track seat 695 and the second groove 6961 of the enclosing seat 696 are slidably connected with the vortex track, the first protrusion 6952 and the second protrusion The freedom of block 6962 is restricted by the first displacement groove 6981 and the second displacement groove 6982, and it can only move along the first displacement groove 6981 and the second displacement groove 6982. When the vortex track 6941 rotates, as the slide point from the starting point to the end point on the vortex track 6941 passes through the first groove 6951 and the second groove 6961, the first groove 6951 and the second groove 6961 are driven to move along the first displacement groove 6981 and the second displacement groove 6982 toward the center of the vortex track 6941, the arc track seat 695 and the enclosing seat 696 are closed toward the center of the ring shell 691, and the fastening mechanism 697 slides along the arc track seat 695 to fix the worker's waist.

The sliding shaft 6973 is slidably connected to the arc rail seat 695.
[0045] Before the fastening mechanism 697 is closed, the spring hinge 6972 is in a linear state due to its own elasticity, and the sliding shafts 6973 at both ends are in contact with the arc track seats 695 at both ends respectively. When the arc track seat 695 and the enclosing seat 696 are closed toward the center of the circle, several sliding shafts 6973 slide along the arc track seat 695, and several groups of pressing mechanisms 6974 contact the waist circumference of the worker, achieving force balance and tightening on the worker's waist.

[0047] When the pressing mechanism 6974 tightens the worker's waist, it contacts the worker's waist through several groups of suction cups 6978. As the third motor 692 continues to output torque, the arc track seat 695 and the enclosing seat 696 continue to close toward the center of the circle, and the radius of the virtual ring formed by the arc track seat 695 and the enclosing seat 696 decreases. After the suction cup 6978 contacts the worker's waist, the length measuring motor 6976 is pushed by the waist to slide along the base 6975, and is fixedly connected to the base 6975 and the length measuring motor 6976 through the second spring 6977, so that the suction cup 6978 tightens the waist.

The right-angle groove 741 set on the strong magnet 74 can better clamp metal parts of different shapes, and the clamping is more secure through a larger contact area.

The thigh crank 42 rotates with the horizontal axis 44 as the center of the circle to simulate the opening and closing movement of the legs. The thigh ring 41 is pulled by the steel cable 53 to make the entire lower limb part of the robot exoskeleton rotate around the axis of the steel cable 53 to simulate the leg lifting movement. The support mechanism 6 can rotate around the center of the turntable 54 to simulate the twisting movement of the waist. The waist is tightened by the waist fixing mechanism 69. When standing, the backboard 66 fits the back and the curved seat 64 fits the buttocks. When a support point is needed for high-altitude work, the robot can sit back and connect the telescopic cylinder 62 with the articulated chassis 61. , the top plate 63 is hinged so that the curved seat 64 and the back plate 66 form a right angle, providing a support point for workers to sit and work in the air, which is convenient for workers to have power support when working at high altitudes. The output torque of the third motor 692 is meshed with the conical tooth surface of the conical gear ring platform 694 through the conical gear head 693. The conical gear ring platform 694 rotates around the center of the ring shell 691. The starting point of the vortex track 6941 is on the outside of the conical gear ring platform 694, and the end point is at the center of the conical gear ring platform 694. The vortex track 6941 is a slide track of the vortex installation, which can only move along the first displacement groove 6981 and the second displacement groove 6982. Due to the first groove of the arc track seat 695 The first protrusion 6951 and the second groove 6961 of the enclosing seat 696 are slidably connected with the vortex track, and the first protrusion 6952 and the second protrusion 6962 are restricted in freedom by the first displacement groove 6981 and the second displacement groove 6982. When the vortex track 6941 rotates, as the slide point from the starting point to the end point on the vortex track 6941 passes through the first groove 6951 and the second groove 6961, the first groove 6951 and the second groove 6961 are driven to move toward the center of the vortex track 6941 along the first displacement groove 6981 and the second displacement groove 6982, and the radius of the virtual ring formed by the arc track seat 695 and the enclosing seat 696 is reduced. The suction cup 6978 is small, and after contacting the waist, the length measuring motor 6976 is pushed by the waist to slide along the base 6975, and the waist is tightened by the elastic compression of the second spring 6977 itself. The output end of the length measuring motor 6976 is fixed on the base 6975, and the sliding caused by tightening the waist detected by the body is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the third motor 692. The third motor 692 stops outputting torque, and the tightening mechanism 697 completes the uniform tightening of the waist. The right-angle groove 741 set on the strong magnet 74 can better clamp metal parts of different shapes, and the larger contact area makes the clamping more secure, reducing the risk of falling from height.
