3. In the walking mode, in order to cope with an emergency, the exoskeleton robot is immediately stopped and restored to an upright state regardless of whether the first key module 121 or the second key module 221 is pressed.
4. Charging method
When the power of the first power module 127 and the second power module 227 is low, the voice playing module 134 automatically plays the voice signal to remind the user to charge.
When charging is required, two charging modes can be selected: the external USB power supply charging mode and the charging mode when the control device is connected with the robot in a wired mode. The first housing 14 and the second housing 24 are also provided with power indicator lights 128, 228.
External USB power supply charging mode: after the USB line is plugged in, the crutch enters a charging state, when the crutch is charged, the power indicator 128 and 228 flash, if the power indicator 128 and 228 is always on, the crutch indicates full electric quantity, and the crutch can automatically sleep.
In summary, through the control device of the invention, a user can actively control the exoskeleton robot to complete the action according to the self-requirement, so as to improve the use effect and the safety of the user; secondly, the motion state and the motion mode of the exoskeleton robot can be controlled in a wired or wireless mode, and a user can switch between the wired mode and the wireless mode, so that the control device can overcome the environmental interference, and the applicability of the exoskeleton robot is enhanced; finally, the control device and the crutch body are integrated, so that convenience of a user is greatly enhanced.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto, and that various changes and modifications can be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
