The present invention relates to a power-assisting device and method for a passive
lower limb exoskeleton, comprising the following components: a
lumbar plate; a hip joint mechanism, comprising a hip joint
cam, a hip joint end cover, a straight spring and a hip joint fixed end, wherein the hip joint
cam is assembled on the upper end of the hip joint end cover, the hip joint
cam contacts the
lumbar plate through an end face bearing, the straight spring is rotatably connected to the lower end of the hip joint end cover, and the lower end of the straight spring is connected to the hip joint fixed end; an
exoskeleton thigh, wherein the upper end of the
exoskeleton thigh is connected to the hip joint end cover; a
knee joint energy storage mechanism, comprising a
knee joint assembly, an elastic rod and a foot
assembly, wherein the upper end of the elastic rod is connected to the
knee joint assembly, the lower end of the elastic rod is connected to the foot assembly, the knee joint assembly is connected to the lower end of the exoskeleton
thigh, and the knee joint
energy storage mechanism is used to store and release the
gravitational potential energy of a
human body during walking; an exoskeleton calf, wherein the upper and lower ends of the exoskeleton calf are respectively connected to the knee joint assembly and the foot assembly.
