Description

Motor-driven hip and knee exoskeleton linkage device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of machinery, and particularly relates to a hip and knee exoskeleton linkage device driven by a motor.
Background
The powered exoskeleton can be used as an intelligent assistive device for helping the aged and disabled urgently needed in rehabilitation medicine and the aging problem, and the powered exoskeleton has the main function of assisting a wearer to recover basic lower limb movement through timely and appropriate assistance; the device can also be used as individual combat and rescue equipment under severe load terrain environments such as earthquake relief work or war application, and is mainly responsible for enhancing the limb bearing capacity and endurance of a wearer.
There are bottleneck problems in the present drive system design of power lower limbs ectoskeleton, include: (1) the joint executor has the problem of complex structure and large self weight, and the bottleneck of light structure exists in the conventional design scheme of arranging a large-mass joint executor at each joint of the robot at present. On one hand, the large mass and high terminal inertia of the exoskeleton affect the mass distribution of a human-computer system, increase the burden of a wearer on the control of the degree of freedom under actuation and the overall balance control of the human-computer system, and seriously reduce the power-assisting effect of the exoskeleton. On the other hand, the quality of the robot far-end joint actuator improves the negative power requirement of the near-end driving joint and influences the flexible control performance of the near-end joint. (2) The problem of low energy efficiency of joint control under-compliance is solved, and the traditional mechanical arm generally adopts an impedance control algorithm based on force feedback to control the interaction behavior of a high-rigidity actuator and the environment. However, due to the characteristic of strong man-machine coupling between the exoskeleton and the wearer, the high-rigidity actuator has poor reaction under strong interference in combination with an accurate impedance control mode, has huge hidden dangers of stability and safety, and has larger control energy consumption.
In recent years, biomechanical and biological researches show that biological joints not only have passive compliance characteristics, but also have energy optimization interactive behaviors between adjacent joints. The above structure and mechanism are considered to be important reasons for obtaining flexible and efficient movement behaviors of biological limbs. However, in the existing exoskeleton design, the driving joints are independent of each other, and an effective and natural energy interaction and linkage mechanism is lacked, so that the natural energy optimization behavior between adjacent biological joints is difficult to reproduce.
CN 109528451A proposes a double-joint passive exoskeleton device based on clutch time-sharing regulation, wherein mutually independent wire disc torsion spring mechanisms controlled by a ratchet-pawl-ratchet-cable-based clutch are respectively arranged at the joints of the exoskeleton, and the specific motion angle of the joints is used as trigger to control the torsion springs to capture and release energy so as to improve the energy utilization efficiency and reduce the walking energy consumption. The disadvantages of this design are: (1) the design is a passive device, and cannot provide active auxiliary torque for lower limb movement overcoming gravity, such as ascending stairs and standing; (2) because the joint triggers the clutch to control at a specific movement angle, the device can apply expected energy control behaviors to the lower limb movement of the wearer only when the lower limb movement of the wearer meets a preset angle range and a trigger sequence, otherwise the normal movement of the wearer can be interfered, and the adaptability to gait change is poor; (3) the joints are independent from each other, and the energy optimization between the joints can not be carried out
The wearable exoskeleton auxiliary devices proposed by patents CN110179636A, CN104800043B, CN106389073, US000204627, US20190282428 and the like all have joint actuators, and have large end inertia; the joint control depends on the turning angle or torque control curve of each joint brake, and the gait is unnatural; the actuators are controlled independently, energy interaction and linkage do not exist, and walking energy consumption lacks an optimization strategy, so that natural lower limb joint motion and gait behaviors of a human body are difficult to reproduce.
