[0002] Exoskeleton robots, as wearable devices, enhance human mobility. Compared to traditional robots, exoskeletons are human-machine collaborative devices. To date, exoskeletons have been widely used in medical rehabilitation, industrial handling, and military fields. In the field of medical rehabilitation, with the increasing aging population, diseases such as muscle atrophy and stroke severely impact human mobility. When wearers cannot achieve normal movement on their own, the emergence of exoskeletons helps restore motor function.

[0003] For example, the invention patent application with publication number CN113070866A discloses a hip exoskeleton walking robot with flexible joint drive. The device has four drive joints on the left, right, left rear, and right rear sides of the human hip joint, which can adjust the step length in the sagittal plane and the step width in the coronal plane, so that the wearer can control his gait in any direction in the walking trajectory plane. Moreover, it adopts a structure of series elastic actuator plus clutch, which can reduce the impact of sudden load on the human joint and greatly improve the comfort of the wearer.

[0004] However, in actual use, the size of the hip area is not easy to adjust, making it inconvenient for users of different body shapes to wear, reducing wearing comfort and failing to meet the needs of users. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A hip exoskeleton robot includes: a pair of hip surrounds 1, an adjusting slide 2, and a leg connector, wherein the pair of hip surrounds 1 are slidably mounted on the left and right sides of the adjusting slide 2 respectively; a locking assembly is disposed between the hip surrounds 1 and the adjusting slide 2 for fixing the adjusting slide 2 to the hip surrounds 1; and a fixing mechanism is disposed between the hip surrounds 1 and the leg connector for fixing the leg connector to the hip surrounds 1.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By setting the hip surround 1 that is slidably installed on the left and right sides of the adjusting slide 2, the distance between the two hip surround 1 can be adjusted. After adjustment, the hip surround 1 is locked by the locking assembly, and then it can be worn. This makes it convenient for users of different body types to wear, improves the user's wearing comfort, and better meets the user's needs.

[0022] As a further embodiment, each of the hip surround components 1 is provided with an adjustment groove 11 on its rear side. The end of the adjustment slide 2 is inserted into the adjustment groove 11. The locking assembly includes a locking nut seat 22 installed on the adjustment slide 2. A locking handwheel 21 is threaded onto the locking nut seat 22. Multiple sets of locking holes 12 are also distributed in the adjustment groove 11.
