Description
Technical Field

Background
According to the data analysis of the second national disabled person general survey, the number of domestic amputation patients reaches about 2412 thousands of times, and accounts for about one third of the total domestic disabled persons. The artificial limb can compensate the lost limb of the amputee, so the artificial limb still has great market prospect at home and abroad for the research and development and the manufacture of artificial limb mechanisms. However, the existing artificial limbs in the market are all passive type or active passive type, and besides, the development of the ankle joint artificial limb in the domestic market is still the first stage, which is far behind the development of the knee joint artificial limb and the like. Based on this, students have studied the motion mechanism of ankle joint, and have made some structural design and improvement on their prosthetic mechanism, but most of them only consider the passive ankle joint prosthetic mechanism with single motion, and during walking, the mechanism often needs amputees to consume their own metabolic energy. In recent years, with the development of science and technology, students developed intelligent ankle joint prosthesis mechanisms which are still complex though the structures of the mechanisms are improved. Furthermore, the control methods in this mechanism are not mature enough and the cost is high, making inexpensive passive ankle prostheses still popular in the market. Based on the structure, the active ankle joint prosthesis mechanism with the connecting rod energy storage and gravity center self-adjustment functions is designed, and the mechanism is simple and controllable in structure and low in manufacturing cost. The variable-stiffness spring energy storage device based on the novel multi-link mechanism and imitating muscles is introduced, energy storage and energy release operation of the ankle joint prosthesis can be realized in the walking process of an amputation patient, and the ankle joint prosthesis mechanism has a high bionic effect.

In addition, the link mechanism has relatively simple kinematics and good dynamic response, is easy to produce, machine and manufacture, and can provide important reference for the design of other joint prosthesis mechanisms and even the design of precise mechanisms.
