Description

A wearable motion-assisted exoskeleton system for ocean diving operations Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wearable robots and relates to a wearable motion-assisted exoskeleton system for ocean diving operations. Background Art

[0002] The wearable motion-assistance exoskeleton system for marine diving operations is an innovative wearable robotic device designed to enhance a diver's underwater mobility and efficiency. It is suitable for a variety of underwater missions, including submarine rescue, shipwreck salvage, offshore oil and gas pipeline inspection and construction, marine civil engineering, underwater scientific exploration, and military applications. However, due to regulations for descents and ascents, and decompression procedures, divers' underwater operating time is strictly limited to prevent the ingested gases from entering their tissues in the high-pressure underwater environment and causing decompression sickness (DCS), posing a significant risk to their own safety. Excessive physical exertion further increases metabolic consumption and gas intake, further compressing their operating time and exacerbating the negative effects of DCS. The underwater diving-assistance exoskeleton assists divers' underwater movement, improving their efficiency within the specified timeframe. Furthermore, the exoskeleton's driving force further reduces the diver's muscle tissue effort, reducing metabolic consumption and delaying the onset of DCS, significantly enhancing the efficiency and risk of DCS.

[0051] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figures 3, 4, and 5, the power unit 18 includes a motor housing 27, a waterproof motor 28, and a fixing flange 29. The fixing flange 29 is bolted to the bottom end of the waterproof motor 28, and the motor housing 27 encloses the waterproof motor 28 and is bolted to the fixing flange 29.

[0053] The working mode of the wearable motion-assisted exoskeleton system for marine diving operations proposed in this application is as follows: for the wearer's alternating kicking movements underwater, the first power system 5-1 and the second power system 5-2 can both provide assistance in the flexion / extension directions for the corresponding legs. Taking the first power system 5-1 as an example, the waterproof motor 28 in the power device 18 of the drive component 12 outputs torque, driving the winding drum 20 in the drum assembly 17 to rotate forward or reverse, as shown in Figure 12; because the first wire head 24-1 and the second wire head 24-2 allow the front side steel wire rope 9-1 and the rear side steel wire rope 9-2 to pass through, and prevent the tail end wire heads X1 and X2 of the steel wire rope from passing through, when the winding drum 20 rotates counterclockwise until the first wire head 24-1 contacts the tail end wire head X1 of the front side steel wire rope 9-1, and the winding drum 20 continues to rotate counterclockwise, it can be regarded as the first The wire end 24-1 forms a fixed connection with the tail end X1 of the front steel wire rope 9-1. At this time, the winding drum 20 pulls the front steel wire rope 9-1 to rotate counterclockwise and receives more rope length into the track G1, so that the straight-line distance between the front wire tube fixing seat 11 and the front tension sensor 6 is shortened, and the exoskeleton system provides assistance for hip flexion; similarly, when the winding drum 20 rotates clockwise until the second wire end 24-2 contacts the tail end X2 of the rear steel wire rope 9-2, and the winding drum 20 continues to rotate clockwise, it can be regarded as that the second wire end 24-2 forms a fixed connection with the tail end X2 of the rear steel wire rope 9-2. At this time, the winding drum 20 pulls the rear steel wire rope 9-2 to rotate clockwise and receives more rope length into the track G2, so that the straight-line distance between the rear wire tube fixing seat 16 and the rear tension sensor 7 is shortened, and the exoskeleton system provides assistance for hip extension.

[0054] In particular, when the waterproof motor 28 controls the winding drum 20 to be in a certain position, there is a situation where the first thread end 24-1 does not contact the tail thread end X1 of the front steel wire rope 9-1, and the second thread end 24-2 does not contact the tail thread end X2 of the rear steel wire rope 9-2. At this time, the winding drum 20 is said to be in a neutral position, and the tail thread ends X1 and X2 of the front steel wire rope 9-1 and the rear steel wire rope 9-2 are movably connected to the winding drum 20 and can move flexibly relative to the winding drum 20, and the front steel wire rope 9-1 and the rear steel wire rope 9-2 have no rope tension. The wearer can freely drag the front steel wire rope 9-1 to achieve hip extension movement, or drag the rear steel wire rope 9-2 to achieve hip flexion movement without any mechanical constraints; when the hip extension movement reaches a certain amplitude, the tail thread end X1 of the front steel wire rope 9-1 begins to contact the first thread end 24-1, or the hip flexion movement reaches a certain amplitude. The amplitude is such that when the tail end X2 of the rear steel wire rope 9-2 begins to contact the second wire end 24-2, it is now subject to unidirectional mechanical constraint again. The movement amplitude corresponding to the mechanical constraint can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the central angle formed by the first wire end 24-1, the second wire end 24-2 and the center of the winding drum 20, so as to cover and meet the needs of free movement of the lower limbs; through this neutral position, the front steel wire rope 9-1 and the rear steel wire rope 9-2 can be converted between a fixed connection and a movable connection with the winding drum 20, thereby achieving stable power transmission of the exoskeleton when movement assistance is required, and in the non-assisted state, the movement of the lower limbs is not mechanically restricted by the transmission system, and can move freely to cope with complex and changeable underwater work tasks (for example, in addition to alternating kicks, the thigh movement also includes breaststroke legs, ground walking and other irregular movements).
