Method for controlling knee joint of artificial limb

The invention relates to a control method of an artificial limb knee joint. According to the technical scheme, the control method comprises the steps that a heel pressure sensor signal Ph, a sole pressure sensor signal Pf and an inclination angle theta and an angular velocity omega output by a shank inertial measurement unit are obtained in real time; when it is detected that the Pf decline rate exceeds a preset multiple threshold value of the heel pressure decline rate, dynamically calibrating an inclination angle reference theta base and calculating an offset theta cal; dividing six stages of a gait period based on the theta < cal > and the pressure signal, and calculating period duration T; a step speed-damping mapping knowledge base is constructed, and the damping opening degree in the early stage of swing is optimized through iterative learning; finally, the adjusted U value is applied in the early stage of swinging, and fixed damping is kept in other stages. The method is mainly used for improving the walking naturalness and terrain adaptability of the artificial limb at different speeds.
