Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of exoskeleton-assisted wearing, and in particular to an exoskeleton-assisted wearing device. Background Art

[0002] Exoskeleton-assisted wear, commonly known as exoskeleton robot or mechanical exoskeleton, is a wearable robotic system designed to enhance human functions or provide rehabilitation support. It can provide people with additional power or ability to enhance human functions. For some healthy people, the use of exoskeleton wearable devices can provide auxiliary power, but the restraint structure of the exoskeleton wearable device is a strap structure, which is more complicated to wear.

[0003] During the use of existing exoskeleton-assisted wear, most of them use a strap structure or some recommended positioning ring structure to tie it to the legs of healthy people for quick donning and use. However, both the strap structure and the positioning ring structure need to be wrapped around the legs, which makes it inconvenient for healthy people to exert force on their legs. After wearing the waist structure, bending over will also be restricted, which greatly affects the bending over and wearing operation of healthy people. In addition, when using the positioning ring structure, the positioning ring is in too close contact with the patient's legs, compressing the blood circulation in the legs, affecting the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, an exoskeleton-assisted wearable device is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an exoskeleton-assisted wearable device. The present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-5As shown, the exoskeleton auxiliary wearable device provided in this embodiment includes a waist corset 1, a positioning ring 2 is rotatably provided on the outer side of the waist corset 1, and the positioning ring 2 is positioned on the outer side of the waist corset 1, and can follow the movement of healthy persons to assist in movement, so as to avoid involving and restraining the movement range of healthy persons, a bracket 3 is fixedly provided on the other end of the positioning ring 2, and the overall restraint component 5 is positioned by the bracket 3, a knee positioning piece 4 is rotatably provided in the middle position of the bracket 3, and the outer side of the bracket 3 also includes a restraint component 5;

[0029] The restraint assembly 5 includes a baffle 55 fixedly arranged on the side of the bracket 3, a fixing plate 51 is fitted on the outer side of the baffle 55, and restraint plates 52 are fitted at both ends of the fixing plate 51. The restraint plate 52 is provided with a semi-ring structure of plastic material to facilitate fitting the legs. An elastic plate 53 fitted with the baffle 55 and the fixing plate 51 is fixedly arranged on the left side of the restraint plate 52, and a roller 54 is rotatably arranged at the end of the restraint plate 52. The restraint plate 52 structure can be quickly slid and rolled into the legs of healthy people through the roller 54 at the end, which is more convenient to use. A sliding plate 6 is slidably arranged on the outer side of the restraint plate 52, and the end of the sliding plate 6 is provided with an airbag structure, which is padded by the sliding plate 6 to avoid excessive pressure on the legs.

[0030] Specifically, a vertical plate 57 is fixedly provided at the top of the baffle plate 55, a rotating frame 56 rotatably provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 57 is slidably provided with a rotating frame 56 rotatably provided with the fixed plate 51, a pulley 58 rotatably provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 57, the vertical plate 57 can be rotated in the vertical groove of the rotating frame 56 through the pulley 58, and the restraining assembly 5 is opened. A vertical shaft 59 fixedly provided with the rotating frame 56 is penetrated inside the pulley 58, and a spring 510 between the rotating frame 56 and the pulley 58 is sleeved on the outer side of the vertical shaft 59. 8 can slide up and down on the outside of the vertical shaft 59, and can be compressed and deformed by squeezing the spring 510, so as to control the pulley 58 structure to remain above the vertical groove. The bottom end of the baffle plate 55 is fixedly provided with an insertion rod 511 plugged with the fixing plate 51, and the top of the vertical plate 57 is fixedly provided with a buckle 512. The elastic plate 53 is set in a swallow-wing shape, and a steel sheet with elastic deformation function is selected. The unfolding angle of the elastic plate 53 in the unrestrained state is 90°, and the swallow-wing-shaped structure can drive the restraining plate 52 to unfold quickly and position it on the outside of the patient's leg.

[0031] Both ends of the sliding plate 6 are fixedly provided with clips 7 that are slidably set with the restraining plate 52. The clips are positioned on the outside of the restraining plate 52 through the clips 7 and slide along the restraining plate 52. A filling plate 8 is fixedly provided on the outside of the sliding plate 6. A limiting rod 9 is fixedly provided at the end of the filling plate 8. A vertical buckle 10 fixed with the restraining plate 52 is fitted on the outside of the limiting rod 9. The limiting rod 9 is inserted into the inside of the vertical buckle 10. There are three vertical buckles 10, which are respectively positioned in different vertical buckles 10 to adjust the direction.

[0032] Among them, the exoskeleton is a prior art and will not be described in detail; at the same time, the present invention also includes a power supply, a controller and a switch, which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail. The wiring diagram of the motor in the present invention belongs to the common knowledge in the field, and its working principle is a well-known technology. The model is selected according to the actual use, so the control method and wiring layout of the motor will not be explained in detail.

[0033] When the healthy person unfolds the restraint assembly 5 of the exoskeleton, the specific operation is to lift the fixed plate 51 structure outside the baffle 55 in the restraint assembly 5, and the fixed plate 51 moves up, driving the rotating frame 56 to slide up on the outside of the vertical plate 57. After it moves stably along the pulley 58 on the outside of the vertical axis 59, the extrusion spring 510 is compressed, and the rotating frame 56 is inserted into the corresponding baffle 55 groove. After the fixed plate 51 is rotated and opened, the waist corset 1 and the positioning ring 2 are restrained around the waist of the healthy person. After the fixation is completed, the legs are put into the corresponding restraint assembly 5 and leave. The elastic plate 53 of the baffle 55 is deformed and expanded, so that the restraining plates 52 on both sides can be bounced open. After being inserted, force is directly applied to the position close to the bracket 3 to press the entire fixed plate 51 structure into a position close to the baffle 55. After getting close, the buckle 512 is pulled to pull up the vertical plate 57 from the inside of the rotating frame 56. After the fixed plate 51 is fitted with the baffle 55, the elastic deformation of the spring 510 pushes the fixed plate 51 upward, and the insertion rod 511 at the bottom end of the baffle 55 is inserted into the inside of the fixed plate 51 to complete the limiting operation, thereby allowing the wearer to quickly put on the garment.

[0034] When in use, the sliding plate 6 can be moved to different positions through the clip 7, and the limiting rod 9 at the end of the filling plate 8 can be positioned inside different vertical buckles 10. After positioning, interval gaps at different positions are formed to avoid compressing the leg nerves.

[0035] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present application.
