Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of exoskeletons, in particular to an exoskeleton belt. Background Art

[0002] Existing exoskeleton belts generally only use buckles for clamping and fixing. Since an exoskeleton is generally installed on the exoskeleton belt, under the influence of the gravity of the exoskeleton and the tightening of the belt, the belt will put a burden and friction on the user's waist and other parts. After long-term use, the user is very likely to feel uncomfortable. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide an exoskeleton belt which can be stably installed through four anchor points of the anterior superior iliac spine and the posterior superior iliac spine of the human body, thereby ensuring the stability of the belt and the comfort of the user.

The first hard pad layer and the second hard pad layer are respectively in contact with the posterior superior iliac spine and the anterior superior iliac spine. The first hard pad layer is disposed inside the first soft pad, and the second hard pad layer is disposed inside the second soft pad. If the first soft pad and the second soft pad are all made of soft materials, it is difficult for the first soft pad and the second soft pad to ensure the relative stability between the posterior superior iliac spine, the anterior superior iliac spine and the exoskeleton device, which may easily cause relative displacement between the waist belt and the exoskeleton device, thereby reducing the comfort of the user.

[0007] Furthermore, the first waist pad component is detachably connected to the waist belt body via a first Velcro. The first waist pad component is attached to the waist belt body via the first Velcro, and the first waist pad component is not only detachably connected to the waist belt body, but also the relative position between the first waist pad component and the waist belt body can be adjusted.

[0008] Furthermore, the second waist pad assembly further comprises a waist support, and the second soft pad is arranged on the waist support. The waist support is made of hard material and is used to provide support and fixation of the exoskeleton device.

[0009] Furthermore, the waist support is detachably connected to the second soft pad via a second Velcro. The second soft pad is attached to the waist support via the second Velcro, and the second soft pad is not only detachably connected to the waist support, but also the relative position of the second soft pad to the waist support can be adjusted.

[0010] Furthermore, a fixing belt is provided on the waist support, and one end of the waist belt body passes through the fixing belt, so that the waist support can slide relative to the waist belt body. The relative position between the waist support and the waist belt body can be adjusted, and the position of the waist support and the second soft pad can be adjusted according to the position of the anterior superior iliac spine of different human bodies.

[0011] Furthermore, the waist support is also provided with a first fixing hole, and the first fixing hole is used for rigidly fixing with the exoskeleton device. The first fixing hole is provided on the waist support so that the waist support can be fixedly connected with the exoskeleton device.

[0012] Furthermore, there are at least two first fixing holes. By providing at least two first fixing holes, the position of the exoskeleton device can be adjusted by different first fixing holes, so that the motor center position of the exoskeleton device is aligned with the hip joint center of the human body, so that the force exerted by the exoskeleton device on the human body is more balanced.

[0013] Furthermore, the belt body is provided with a second fixing hole, the second fixing hole is located in the middle of the belt body, and the second fixing hole is used for rigidly fixing with the exoskeleton device. The belt body is provided with the second fixing hole to fix the exoskeleton device.

[0014] Another aspect of the present invention provides an exoskeleton device, including a device body, characterized in that it also includes the waist belt, and the device body is installed on the waist belt.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the exoskeleton belt of the embodiment of the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the first waist pad component is used to fit with the posterior superior iliac spine of the human body, the second waist pad component is used to fit with the posterior superior iliac spine of the human body, the first waist pad component and the two second waist pad components are used to stably install the exoskeleton belt through four anchor points of the anterior superior iliac spine and the posterior superior iliac spine of the human body, thereby ensuring the comfort of the user.
