Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of exoskeleton robot technology, and in particular to a pair of trousers that can be equipped with a hip joint exoskeleton and its safe quick-release mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, exoskeleton robots have gradually entered people's lives and work, and have been widely used in fields such as outdoor hiking and industrial production. At present, exoskeleton robots are increasingly developing towards lighter weight, simpler structure, more convenient wearing methods, and more comfortable human-machine interaction.

[0003] In existing technologies, exoskeleton robots are typically integrated with the wearer through straps fixed to the device. For example, a conventional hip-assisted exoskeleton has leg straps, waist straps, and even back straps, which cover the outside of the wearer's clothing. Installing or removing these straps is not only cumbersome and uncomfortable, but also adds unnecessary weight, thus affecting usability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issues of existing exoskeleton robots being cumbersome to wear, lacking comfort, and adding unnecessary weight, this application provides a pair of pants that can accommodate a hip joint exoskeleton and its safe quick-release mechanism.

[0005] This application provides a pair of trousers capable of mounting a hip joint exoskeleton and its safe quick-release mechanism, which adopts the following technical solution: A pair of pants that can be equipped with a hip joint exoskeleton and its safety quick-release mechanism includes a pant body and a hip joint exoskeleton structure. The pant body is provided with an adjustment and binding mechanism inside, and a quick-release mechanism for connecting with the hip joint exoskeleton structure is provided on the outside of the pant body. The quick-release mechanism is provided in correspondence with the adjustment and binding mechanism. The quick-release mechanism is provided with an anti-slip safety protection mechanism for determining whether the hip joint exoskeleton structure is stably connected. The trouser body includes a flexible bottom plate, a rigid mounting plate, and double-layer trouser fabric. The rigid mounting plate is installed in the interlayer of the double-layer trouser fabric. The flexible bottom plate is disposed between the rigid mounting plate and the quick-release mechanism, and the quick-release mechanism is installed on the flexible bottom plate. The quick-release mechanism includes a quick-release base, a quick-release block, a locking tongue, a release ring, and a latch. The quick-release base is mounted on the pants and has a spring-loaded latch. The quick-release block is fixed to the hip joint exoskeleton structure. The locking tongue is rotatably connected to the bottom of the quick-release base via a pivot. Torsion springs are provided on both sides of the locking tongue. The release ring is located at the bottom of the locking tongue. The latch is located on the quick-release base and at the bottom of the locking tongue. The anti-detachment safety protection mechanism includes a copper plate, multiple sets of spring contacts, and a signal judgment device. The signal judgment device is installed on the hip joint exoskeleton structure. The spring contacts are set on the quick-release block and are electrically connected to the signal judgment device. The copper plate is set on the spring tongue, and the position of the copper plate corresponds to the position of the spring contacts.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the pants, when the internal adjustment and binding mechanism is relaxed, feel no different from wearing normal pants. The wearer can treat them as normal pants. When it is necessary to install the hip exoskeleton structure onto the pants, simply align the quick-release block with the quick-release base and apply a certain pressure. The quick-release block will squeeze the spring on the quick-release base. The spring deforms under pressure, allowing the quick-release block to smoothly enter the quick-release base. During this process, the locking tongue will automatically cooperate with the quick-release block under the action of the torsion spring, thus firmly locking the quick-release block onto the quick-release base, completing the installation. When it is necessary to disassemble, simply pull the release ring. The release ring will cause the locking tongue to overcome the elasticity of the torsion spring and rotate around the pivot, causing the locking tongue to separate from the lock. At this time, the spring will eject the quick-release block under its own elasticity, achieving quick disassembly. The operation is convenient and efficient. At the same time, the anti-slip safety protection mechanism can effectively ensure safety during use. In terms of safety, when the quick-release block and quick-release base are correctly installed, the copper plate on the spring latch will contact the spring contact on the quick-release block. The spring contact transmits a signal to the signal judgment device. Only after the signal judgment device receives a normal signal can the hip exoskeleton structure work normally. If the quick-release block and quick-release base become loose or detached during use, the copper plate will separate from the spring contact, and the signal judgment device will not receive a normal signal. It will then issue an alarm or control the hip exoskeleton structure to stop working in time to avoid safety accidents caused by connection failure. In addition, the flexible base plate can act as a buffer between the rigid mounting plate and the quick-release mechanism, improving wearing comfort. The rigid mounting plate provides a stable mounting base for the quick-release mechanism, ensuring the reliability of the connection. The double-layer trouser fabric not only enhances the structural strength of the trouser body, but also provides suitable space for the installation of the rigid mounting plate, making the overall structural design more reasonable.

[0007] Preferably, the quick-release base is provided with a positioning slot at its top, and the quick-release block is provided with a positioning pin at its top, the positioning pin being compatible with the positioning slot.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation between the positioning pin and the positioning slot can play a pre-positioning role when the quick-release block and quick-release base are installed, guiding the quick-release block to enter the installation position quickly and accurately, avoiding the situation where the locking tongue and quick-release block cannot be locked smoothly due to inaccurate installation alignment, which greatly improves the installation efficiency. At the same time, after the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning slot, it can also restrict the relative position of the quick-release block and quick-release base from the vertical direction, effectively preventing the quick-release block from shifting vertically during use, and further enhancing the connection stability of the overall structure.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the latch is provided with a beveled protrusion, and the bottom of the quick-release block is provided with a beveled slide that cooperates with the beveled protrusion. The latch and the quick-release block are fixed by the cooperation between the beveled slide and the beveled protrusion.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the installation of the quick-release block into the quick-release base, the inclined slide at the bottom of the quick-release block will contact the inclined protrusion at the top of the latch. As the quick-release block continues to press down, the inclined slide generates an oblique force on the inclined protrusion. This force can be decomposed into a torque that causes the latch to rotate around its axis and a pressure perpendicular to the inclined surface. Under the action of this torque, the latch overcomes the elastic force of the torsion spring and rotates, making room for the quick-release block to enter. When the quick-release block is fully inserted into the quick-release base, the inclined slide and the inclined protrusion... After the relative sliding ends, the latch quickly returns to its original position under the restoring force of the torsion spring. At this time, the beveled protrusion will engage above the beveled slide, and the latch and quick-release block are tightly fixed by the interlocking of the two bevels. This beveled design makes the installation of the quick-release block smoother and less strenuous. Automatic locking can be achieved without additional manual operation of the latch. At the same time, the beveled structure can provide a large locking force, effectively preventing the quick-release block from easily coming out when subjected to tension or impact, further improving the reliability and stability of the quick-release mechanism connection.

[0011] Preferably, the latch includes an abutment block, a slider, and a return spring. The slider is slidably mounted on the quick-release base. One end of the return spring is connected to the slider, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the quick-release base. The return spring is in an energy storage state. The abutment block is fixedly connected to the slider and is connected to the release pull ring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the bolt is locked with the quick-release block under the action of the torsion spring, the bottom of the bolt will press against the abutment block, causing the abutment block to drive the slider to slide on the quick-release base and compress the return spring. At this time, the return spring is in an energy storage state, generating a reverse thrust on the abutment block, further strengthening the abutment block's pressing effect on the bolt, thereby improving the stability of the lock between the bolt and the quick-release block, and effectively preventing the bolt from accidentally loosening under daily activities or external impacts. During the disassembly process, when the release ring is pulled, the release ring will drive the bolt to rotate, and the bolt will compress and move the abutment block. The slider will compress the return spring again, allowing the quick-release block to disengage from the bolt. The entire latch structure is ingeniously designed, ensuring both the reliability of locking and the convenience of disassembly operation.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the quick-release base is provided with a groove for use with the slider, and both the slider and the return spring are located in the groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide provides a stable guiding effect for the sliding of the slider, ensuring that the slider can move smoothly along the preset trajectory under the action of the return spring, avoiding the slider from deviating or getting stuck during the sliding process, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the locking structure.

[0015] Preferably, the multiple sets of spring contacts are arranged side by side, each row of spring contacts is connected in series by a wire, and a circuit breaking structure is formed between two spring contacts arranged side by side.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, and by arranging multiple sets of spring contacts side by side and connecting them in series to form a circuit breaking structure, accurate detection of the quick-release block's installation status can be achieved. When the quick-release block is fully installed into the quick-release base and locked by the locking tongue, the conductive area at the bottom of the quick-release block will simultaneously contact two spring contacts in the same row, creating a circuit between the two contacts that were originally broken. At this time, a signal feedback can be triggered through the connected circuit module, such as an indicator light illuminating or a buzzer sounding, to intuitively remind the user that the quick-release block has been installed in place and locked reliably. This design is not only simple in structure and does not require complex sensor components, reducing costs, but it can also reflect the connection status of the quick-release mechanism in real time and accurately, avoiding the risk of use caused by the quick-release block not being fully installed or the locking failing, further improving the safety and reliability of the entire hip joint exoskeleton pants during wearing and use.

[0017] Preferably, the adjusting binding mechanism includes an elastic band, a tightening rope, and an adjusting knob. One end of the elastic band is connected to a rigid mounting plate, and the other end of the elastic band is fixedly connected to a flexible plate. The adjusting knob is mounted on the flexible base plate, and the adjusting knob and the flexible plate are connected by the tightening rope.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, and using elastic bands as the main binding component, the elasticity of the bands can adapt to the different body shapes of various users, providing a comfortable and close-fitting wearing experience. The flexible soft plate increases the softness of the parts in contact with the human body, avoiding the pressure caused by hard components on the skin. The coordination of the adjustment knob and the tightening rope allows users to precisely adjust the tightness of the binding according to their own needs. When the adjustment knob is rotated, the tightening rope will shorten or loosen accordingly, thereby changing the binding force of the elastic band on the human body. This design is simple and intuitive to operate, and users can complete the adjustment process independently, effectively improving the ease of wearing and adaptability of the hip joint exoskeleton pants. It ensures that the exoskeleton can be stably fixed to the human hip joint during operation, and will not affect the assistive effect or cause safety hazards due to loosening.

[0019] Preferably, there are two adjustment knobs, and the tightening rope is arranged in an hourglass shape between the two adjustment knobs and the flexible plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting two adjustment knobs and arranging the tightening ropes in an hourglass shape, bidirectional balanced adjustment of the elastic band binding force can be achieved. When the two adjustment knobs are rotated respectively, the tightening ropes will simultaneously pull or relax from both sides of the flexible plate, allowing the flexible plate to move evenly towards or away from the rigid mounting plate under the action of the elastic band. This ensures that the binding force is more symmetrically distributed on both sides of the hip joint, avoiding local compression or wear misalignment caused by excessive force on one side. This hourglass-shaped rope design allows the tension of the tightening ropes to be more effectively transmitted to all parts of the flexible plate, improving the sensitivity and accuracy of adjustment. At the same time, the independent operation of the two adjustment knobs also provides more flexible adaptation space for users of different body types, further enhancing the practicality and comfort of the adjustment binding mechanism.

[0021] Preferably, the top end of the hip exoskeleton structure is fixed to the waist of the human body by a waist belt, and the bottom end of the hip exoskeleton structure is detachably connected to the pants body by a quick-release structure.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the top of the hip exoskeleton structure is fixed to the waist via a belt. This provides a reliable upper fixation base for the exoskeleton with the stable support of the waist, effectively dispersing the forces generated during movement and preventing excessive stress on a single point from causing discomfort. The bottom is detachably connected to the trousers via a quick-release structure, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly of the exoskeleton and trousers. This allows for flexible use and storage of the exoskeleton in different scenarios. In emergencies requiring rapid disassembly, the quick-release structure ensures convenient and efficient separation, improving safety and emergency response capabilities. This connection method balances convenience in daily use with safety in special circumstances, making the integration of the hip exoskeleton and trousers more user-friendly.

[0023] Preferably, the quick-release base and the spring are both integrally injection molded from elastic material.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the quick-release base and the spring are integrally injection molded from elastic material, which significantly improves the structural integrity and connection strength of both. This avoids the problems of loose connection or component detachment that may occur in traditional split structures. The elastic material itself has good deformation capacity and recovery performance. During the quick-release operation, the spring can undergo moderate deformation when it is squeezed by external force, ensuring smooth engagement and disengagement of the buckle and the slot, and reducing operating resistance. When the external force is removed, the spring can quickly return to its original shape, ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection. At the same time, the integral injection molding process simplifies the production process, reduces assembly errors, effectively ensures the consistency and reliability of the quick-release structure, extends the service life of the quick-release mechanism, and further improves the safety and durability of the connection between the hip exoskeleton and the trousers.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This invention's pants feature a composite structure of a flexible base plate, a rigid mounting plate, and double-layered trouser fabric. The flexible base plate acts as a buffer between the rigid mounting plate and the quick-release mechanism, preventing direct pressure from rigid components on the skin and improving wearing comfort. The rigid mounting plate provides a stable base for the quick-release mechanism, ensuring reliable connection. The double-layered trouser fabric enhances the structural strength of the pants and provides a concealed and suitable installation space for the rigid mounting plate, allowing the pants to be worn as ordinary trousers when not fitted with an exoskeleton, providing a similar feel to everyday trousers and improving user convenience. Simultaneously, the adjustable binding mechanism utilizes elastic bands, a flexible plate, adjustment knobs, and tightening ropes. The elastic bands adapt to different user body shapes, the flexible plate increases the softness of the contact points, and the dual adjustment knobs and hourglass-shaped tightening ropes achieve bidirectional balanced adjustment of the binding force. Users can precisely adjust the tightness according to their needs, further improving fit and wearing comfort, ensuring the exoskeleton remains stably fixed to the hip joint during operation, preventing loosening and affecting the assistive effect. The quick-release mechanism of this invention utilizes the synergistic action of a quick-release base, quick-release block, locking tongue, release ring, and latch. During installation, simply align the quick-release block with the quick-release base and apply pressure. The spring-loaded tongue deforms under pressure, and the locking tongue automatically engages with the quick-release block under the action of a torsion spring, completing the assembly without complicated operations. During disassembly, pulling the release ring causes the locking tongue to rotate against the torsion spring force, and the spring-loaded tongue automatically ejects the quick-release block. The operation is convenient and efficient, significantly improving the efficiency of exoskeleton assembly and storage. Meanwhile, the pre-positioning function of the positioning pin and positioning slot guides the quick-release block to quickly and accurately align, avoiding locking failure caused by installation deviation and improving installation efficiency; the cooperation between the beveled protrusion on the top of the latch and the beveled slide on the bottom of the quick-release block makes the installation process smoother and less strenuous, achieving automatic locking, and the beveled structure can provide greater locking force to prevent the quick-release block from coming off when subjected to tension or impact; the design of the latch's abutment block, slider, and return spring further enhances the stability of the latch locking, preventing the latch from accidentally coming off, while not affecting the convenience of disassembly operations; the quick-release base and spring are made of elastic material through integral injection molding, improving the overall structural integrity and connection strength, optimizing deformation and recovery performance, simplifying the production process, reducing assembly errors, and extending the service life of the quick-release mechanism; This invention's anti-detachment safety protection mechanism, through the cooperation of copper plates, multiple sets of spring contacts, and a signal judgment device, achieves real-time and accurate detection of the connection status of the quick-release mechanism. When the quick-release block and quick-release base are correctly installed, the copper plate contacts the spring contacts, the signal judgment device receives a normal signal, and the exoskeleton can work normally. If the connection becomes loose or detached, the copper plate separates from the spring contacts, and the signal judgment device immediately issues an alarm or controls the exoskeleton to stop working, thus preventing safety accidents caused by connection failures at the source. In addition, the design of multiple sets of spring contacts connected in parallel and forming a circuit-breaking structure eliminates the need for complex sensor components, reducing costs while providing intuitive feedback on the installation status, further improving safety and reliability. The top of the hip exoskeleton structure of this invention is fixed to the waist of the human body via a waist belt, effectively dispersing the force generated during exoskeleton movement and avoiding excessive force on a single point that could cause discomfort. The bottom is detachably connected to trousers via a quick-release structure, which is convenient for flexible daily use and storage, and allows for quick disengagement in emergencies, improving emergency response capabilities. The entire device organically integrates functions such as connection between trousers and exoskeleton, safety protection, and wear adjustment. It has a compact structure and a user-friendly design, meeting the requirements for stable exoskeleton operation while also considering the convenience and comfort of daily wear for users. It has a wide range of applications and high practical value and promotional significance. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a pair of trousers that can be equipped with a hip joint exoskeleton and its safe quick-release mechanism.

[0030] refer to Figures 1 to 9 A pair of pants that can be equipped with a hip joint exoskeleton and its safety quick-release mechanism includes a pant body 10 and a hip joint exoskeleton structure 20. The pant body 10 is adapted to the contour of the human lower limbs. An adjustment and binding mechanism 30 is provided inside the pant body corresponding to the position of the human hip joint and the root of the thigh. A quick-release mechanism 40 for detachable connection with the hip joint exoskeleton structure 20 is fixedly provided on the outside of the pant body 10 corresponding to the position of the adjustment and binding mechanism 30. The quick-release mechanism 40 integrates an anti-slip safety protection mechanism 50 for real-time judgment of whether the connection of the hip joint exoskeleton structure 20 is stable. The anti-slip safety protection mechanism 50 can issue a warning signal when the connection is unstable. The trouser body 10 includes a flexible base plate 11, a rigid mounting plate 12, and a double-layer trouser fabric 13. The double-layer trouser fabric 13 is made of breathable and wear-resistant nylon Oxford cloth, and the rigid mounting plate 12 is fixedly embedded in its interlayer. The rigid mounting plate 12 is made of lightweight aluminum alloy sheet with a thickness of 2-3mm. The flexible base plate 11 is made of medical-grade silicone material with a thickness of 1-1.5mm. The flexible base plate 11 is fixedly attached to the side of the rigid mounting plate 12 facing the quick-release mechanism 40. The quick-release mechanism 40 is detachably installed on the flexible base plate 11 by countersunk bolts. The bolt heads do not protrude from the surface of the flexible base plate 11 to avoid abrasion of the hip joint exoskeleton structure 20. The quick-release mechanism 40 includes a quick-release base 41, a quick-release block 42, a locking tongue 43, a release pull ring 44, and a latch 45. The quick-release base 41 is fixed to the flexible bottom plate 11 of the trouser body 10 by countersunk bolts. A spring tongue 46 is integrally formed on the side of the quick-release base 41 facing the quick-release block 42. The spring tongue 46 has a raised rectangular structure, and the connection between the spring tongue 46 and the quick-release block 42 and the free end are provided with arc-shaped transition structures. The quick-release block 42 is fixed to the connection end of the hip joint exoskeleton structure 20 by bolts. The locking tongue 43 is rotated by a stainless steel rotor. The pivot is connected to the bottom of the quick-release base 41. The pivot and the latch 43 are fitted with a clearance. A torsion spring 47 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the latch 43. The torsion spring 47 is sleeved on the pivot. One end of the torsion spring 47 abuts against the inner wall of the quick-release base 41, and the other end abuts against the latch 43. Under normal conditions, the torsion spring 47 is in a naturally extended state, which drives the latch 43 to return to its original position. The release ring 44 is fixed at the bottom of the latch 43. The latch 45 is set on the bottom of the quick-release base 41, and the latch 45 abuts against the bottom of the latch 43 to limit the movement of the latch 43. The anti-detachment safety protection mechanism 50 includes a copper plate 51, multiple sets of spring contacts 52, and a signal judgment device 53. The signal judgment device 53 is fixedly installed in the control box of the hip joint exoskeleton structure 20. The signal judgment device 53 has a built-in signal processor and an early warning module, which can output audible and visual early warning signals. The spring contacts 52 are fixedly embedded on the side of the quick-release block 42 facing the spring tongue 46. The spring contacts 52 are made of gold-plated material. All spring contacts 52 are electrically connected to the signal judgment device 53 through high-temperature resistant wires. The wires are covered with an insulating protective sleeve. The copper plate 51 is made of copper with a thickness of 0.3-0.5mm. It is fixedly pasted on the surface of the spring tongue 46 with thermally conductive adhesive. The position of the copper plate 51 corresponds one-to-one with the position of the spring contacts 52. When the quick-release block 42 and the quick-release base 41 are stably attached, the spring contacts 52 and the copper plate 51 are in complete contact, forming a closed circuit. The signal judgment device 53 determines that the connection is stable.

[0031] refer to Figures 3 to 7 The latch 45 includes an abutment block 451, a slider 452, and a return spring 453. The abutment block 451 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the quick-release base 41. The slider 452 is slidably connected to the groove 454 opened at the bottom of the quick-release base 41. One end of the return spring 453 is connected to the slider 452, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the groove 454. Under normal conditions, the return spring 453 pushes the slider 452 to press against the bottom of the latch 43. The abutment block 451 and the slider 452 of the latch 45 cooperate to limit the bottom of the latch 43, further enhancing the stability of the latch 43 in the locked state. When the latch 43 rotates upward to the locked position under the action of the torsion spring 47, When in position, the slider 452 automatically presses against the bottom of the latch 43 under the pushing force of the return spring 453, forming a clamping effect on the latch 43 together with the abutment block 451. This effectively prevents the latch 43 from rotating due to vibration or accidental contact, thus preventing the locking from failing. When the quick-release block 42 needs to be removed, the user pulls the release ring 44, and the latch 43 rotates downward against the elastic force of the torsion spring 47. At this time, the latch 43 pushes the slider 452 to compress the return spring 453, causing the slider 452 to slide into the slide groove 454, thereby releasing the limit on the latch 43. The whole process is smooth and without jamming, ensuring the reliability of the locking without affecting the convenience of the disassembly operation.

[0032] refer to Figures 3 to 8The quick-release block 42 has a positioning pin 421 at its bottom, and a positioning slot 411 is provided at the corresponding position on the top of the quick-release base 41. The positioning pin 421 and the positioning slot 411 are matched in shape, and the end of the positioning pin 421 is provided with a guide chamfer. The positioning pin 421 and the positioning slot 411 provide a pre-positioning function for the installation of the quick-release block 42 and the quick-release base 41. During the installation process, the user only needs to align the positioning pin 421 at the bottom of the quick-release block 42 with the positioning slot 411 on the quick-release base 41 and insert it to quickly achieve the initial alignment of the quick-release block 42 and the quick-release base 41. This avoids the problem that the locking tongue 43 and the quick-release block 42 cannot accurately lock due to the deviation in the installation position. The guide chamfer at the end of the positioning pin 421 further reduces the difficulty of insertion, makes the alignment process easier, improves the installation efficiency, and ensures that the quick-release mechanism 40 can complete the assembly quickly and accurately.

[0033] The top of the latch 43 is provided with a beveled protrusion 431, and the bottom of the quick-release block 42 is provided with a beveled slide 422 that cooperates with the beveled protrusion 431. When the quick-release block 42 is installed onto the quick-release base 41, the beveled slide 422 at the bottom of the quick-release block 42 will first contact the beveled protrusion 431 at the top of the latch 43. As the quick-release block 42 continues to press down, the beveled slide 422 will generate a lateral pushing force on the beveled protrusion 431, forcing the latch 43 to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 47 and rotate downward, making room for the continued insertion of the quick-release block 42. When the quick-release block 42 is fully installed, the beveled protrusion 431 is no longer subjected to the beveled slide. Under the pressure of the track 422, the locking tongue 43 rotates rapidly upward under the reset force of the torsion spring 47, and the inclined protrusion 431 fits precisely into the inclined slide 422, realizing the automatic locking of the quick release block 42 and the quick release base 41. This inclined mating structure makes the installation process unnecessary to manually operate the locking tongue 43. Locking can be completed simply by pressing down the quick release block 42, making the operation more labor-saving and convenient. At the same time, the tight fit between the inclined protrusion 431 and the inclined slide 422 can provide a large locking force, effectively preventing the quick release block 42 from coming off when subjected to the pulling force of daily movement or accidental impact, further improving the stability and reliability of the quick release mechanism 40 connection.

[0034] Multiple sets of spring contacts 52 are arranged side by side evenly, with two spring contacts 52 in each set, for a total of two sets. Each row of spring contacts 52 is connected in series by copper core wires with a diameter of 0.5-0.8mm. The two spring contacts 52 arranged side by side form an open circuit structure. When all spring contacts 52 are in contact with the copper sheet 51, the circuit is closed, and the signal judgment device 53 determines that the connection is stable. If any set of spring contacts 52 is not in contact, the circuit is open, triggering an alarm.

[0035] The adjustable binding mechanism 30 includes an elastic band 31, a flexible plate 34, an adjustment knob 33, and a tightening rope 32. The elastic band 31 is made of high-elasticity spandex material, and its two ends are fixed in the interlayer of the double-layer trouser fabric 13 of the trouser body 10. The elastic band 31 is set around the human hip joint. The flexible plate 34 is made of skin-friendly and breathable sponge composite fabric. Its inner side is in contact with the human skin, and its outer side is fixedly connected to the elastic band 31. The adjustment knob 33 is rotatably connected to the outer waist of the trouser body 10. One end of the tightening rope 32 is fixedly connected to the edge of the flexible plate 34, and the other end passes through the elastic band 31 and the trouser fabric and is wrapped around and fixed to the adjustment knob 33. The user can roll up or release the tightening rope 32 by rotating the adjustment knob 33, thereby adjusting the binding force of the elastic band 31 on the human hip joint.

[0036] There are two adjusting knobs 33, with a spacing of 50-60mm. The tightening rope 32 is arranged in an hourglass shape between the two adjusting knobs 33 and the flexible plate 34. The two ends of the tightening rope 32 are fixed to the two adjusting knobs 33 respectively, and the middle is fixedly connected to the flexible plate 34. Rotating either adjusting knob 33 can adjust the tightness of the tightening rope 32. The two adjusting knobs 33 can be used together to achieve precise adjustment of the tightness of the elastic band 31, ensuring that the pants 10 fits the body closely.

[0037] refer to Figure 9 The top of the hip exoskeleton structure 20 is fixed to the waist of the human body by an adjustable belt. The belt is made of nylon webbing and is 40-50mm wide. The belt surface is equipped with Velcro and adjustment buckles, and the length can be adjusted according to the human waist circumference. The adjustment range is 70-110cm. The bottom of the hip exoskeleton structure 20 is detachably connected to the pants body 10 through a quick-release structure to ensure connection stability.

[0038] refer to Figure 9 In this embodiment, the quick-release mechanism 40, the adjustable binding mechanism 30, and the anti-slip safety protection mechanism 50 can be installed on the pant leg of the pant body 10. They can be connected to the exoskeleton structure of the lower leg, so that the exoskeleton structure of the lower leg and the hip joint exoskeleton structure 20 form a whole, providing support for the user's lower limbs.

[0039] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: In implementation, when the user wears the pants that can be equipped with a hip joint exoskeleton, the user first puts on the pants 10 like ordinary pants, so that it fits the contour of the lower limbs. Then, the user makes a preliminary fixation by adjusting the binding mechanism 30: The user can rotate the two adjustment knobs 33 on the waist of the pants 10. Since the tightening ropes 32 are arranged in an hourglass shape and the two ends are fixed on the knobs respectively, rotating the knobs will roll up or release the tightening ropes 32, thereby driving the flexible soft plate 34 to adjust its position, so that the elastic band 31 around the hip joint will generate a suitable binding force. The high elastic spandex material of the elastic band 31 can adapt to different user body shapes, and the flexible soft plate 34 increases the softness and comfort of the parts in contact with the human body. The use of the two adjustment knobs 33 together can achieve precise adjustment of tightness, ensuring that the pants 10 fits the human body closely, providing a stable foundation for the subsequent installation of the exoskeleton; Next, the hip exoskeleton structure 20 is installed. The adjustable waistband at the top of the hip exoskeleton structure 20 is fastened around the waist. The waistband is adjusted to a suitable length using the Velcro and adjusting buckles to evenly distribute the force of the exoskeleton. Then, the quick-release block 42 at the bottom of the hip exoskeleton structure 20 is aligned with the quick-release base 41 on the outside of the pants body 10. At this time, the positioning pin 421 at the top of the quick-release block 42, guided by the guide chamfer, is precisely inserted into the positioning slot 411 at the top of the quick-release base 41 to achieve pre-positioning. Then, downward pressure is applied, and the inclined slide 422 at the bottom of the quick-release block 42 engages with the locking tongue 43. The inclined protrusion 431 of the quick release block 42 contacts and generates a lateral thrust, forcing the latch 43 to rotate downward against the spring force of the torsion spring 47. When the quick release block 42 is fully pressed into place, the latch 43 rotates upward under the reset action of the torsion spring 47, and the inclined protrusion 431 at the top of the latch 43 engages with the inclined slide 422 of the quick release block 42, completing the automatic locking. At the same time, in the latch 45 on the quick release base 41, the slider 452 presses against the bottom of the latch 43 under the action of the reset spring 453, and together with the abutment block 451, clamps the latch 43 to prevent accidental loosening. After the spring tongue 46 of the quick release base 41 is deformed by pressure, it fits tightly against the quick release block 42, further ensuring the stability of the connection. After installation, the anti-detachment safety protection mechanism 50 starts to work. The multiple sets of spring contacts 52 on the quick-release block 42 are in complete contact with the copper sheet 51 on the surface of the spring tongue 46 of the quick-release base 41, the circuit is closed, the signal judgment device 53 receives a normal signal, and the hip joint exoskeleton structure can start working. During use, if the quick-release mechanism 40 becomes loose or detached, causing any set of spring contacts 52 to separate from the copper sheet 51, the circuit is broken, and the signal judgment device 53 will immediately issue an audible and visual warning signal through the built-in warning module to control the exoskeleton to stop working and avoid safety accidents. When the exoskeleton needs to be disassembled, the user only needs to pull the release ring 44 at the bottom of the quick-release mechanism 40. The locking tongue 43 rotates downward against the elastic force of the torsion spring 47, pushing the slider 452 of the lock 45 to compress the return spring 453 and release the limit. At the same time, the spring tongue 46 restores its deformation and pops out the quick-release block 42, which can easily complete the separation of the exoskeleton from the pants 10. After disassembly, the pants 10, due to the design of double-layer pants fabric 13 and hidden rigid installation plate 12, can be worn as ordinary pants without affecting daily activities. The whole process demonstrates the comprehensive advantages of the device in terms of connection stability, wearing comfort, operation convenience and safety protection.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
