Description

In the aspect of military affairs, due to the complexity of terrains, large-scale mechanized vehicles are difficult to rapidly move deep into deep forests, mountain roads, step roads and the like, and the loaded exoskeleton, which is a machine which not only holds the intelligence of people but also can bear heavy load, can greatly improve the fighting capacity of troops. In disaster relief, on one hand, rescue personnel can carry a large number of fire-fighting equipment to the site through the device, and on the other hand, disaster-affected goods and personnel can be transferred to a safe place without taking much effort. In the field of daily life, the exoskeleton robot can assist workers in operating heavy equipment, reduce strain of muscles and bones, relieve fatigue and improve the operating efficiency and the positioning precision of the workers. In view of the important application value of the exoskeleton robot for enhancing the human body movement ability to improve the quality of life of people and improve national defense and military strength, governments of all countries in the world pay high attention.
In the last two decades, a plurality of scientific research institutions develop extensive research in the field of wearable lower limb exoskeleton and research and develop a plurality of lower limb exoskeleton devices with important scientific significance. According to whether an external energy source is contained or not, and a part of the lower limb exoskeleton is an active exoskeleton and a passive exoskeleton, the active exoskeleton device usually comprises an actuating mechanism, a sensor, a control module, a matched external driving power supply and the like, and the mass is generally large. The wearable lower limb active exoskeleton device acquires the movement intention of a wearer by means of various different sensor modules, and then actively regulates and controls the output force and the moment of each actuating mechanism through a control system, so that the exoskeleton is matched with the movement of the wearer, and the movement ability of the wearer is further enhanced. The lower limb passive exoskeleton device is based on the motion rule of the lower limbs of the human body, utilizes the cyclic conversion of kinetic energy and potential energy between the limbs and the external elastic element, and assists the motion of the lower limbs of the human body by means of the external passive elastic element. The lower limb passive exoskeleton device generally has the characteristics of light weight, simple structure and the like, and the passive exoskeleton can well match with the lower limb kinematics law and the internal energy conversion mechanism of a musculoskeletal system in the human motion process by reasonably arranging external elastic elements and designing a proper passive energy release adjusting device, so that the consumption of metabolic energy is reduced. Therefore, passive exoskeletons offer potential advantages in terms of increased human mobility and reduced metabolic energy consumption over active exoskeletons that are relatively massive, complex in structure, and difficult to coordinate with the intent of a wearer. Most passive exoskeletons cannot bear loads at present, and a small number of passive exoskeletons are quasi-passive, so that the problem of power energy limitation still exists.

The supporting device comprises a load supporting mechanism, a clutch mechanism and a variable stiffness damper mechanism, wherein the clutch mechanism and the variable stiffness damper mechanism are respectively arranged on the load supporting mechanism, and the clutch mechanism is connected with the variable stiffness damper mechanism.

Wherein the damper 14 is an intelligent variable stiffness damper based on a shear thickening elastomer material; under the condition that the shear thickening elastomer material in the damper is not stressed, the material is soft and rich in elasticity, once the material is impacted, molecules are rapidly locked with each other to tighten and harden, and the material is rapidly changed from weak rigidity to high rigidity; when the external acting force disappears, the elastic body is immediately restored to the original soft state. The speed and amplitude of the change in stiffness depend on the speed and magnitude of the force; the shear thickening elastomer material is placed in the damper, and the damper only needs to encapsulate the material and transmit external force to the material, so that the rigidity of the material is mutated.
In the process of movement of a human body, neuromuscular systems such as hip joints, knee joints and ankle joints can change along with different stages of a step cycle, and the rigidity and the damping of the damper are adjusted, so that the damper needs to change the rigidity and adjust the damping at the same time. For a damper joint, the relation between force and displacement or torque and a rotation angle can form a hysteresis curve, the equivalent damping coefficient of the STG elastic component can be calculated by a formula in a complete cycle period, the equivalent damping coefficient is exponentially reduced along with the increase of frequency, and the amplitude has almost no influence on the equivalent damping coefficient.

When the supporting device works, at the beginning of a supporting phase (a gait cycle 0 point), the ground contact rod 11 contacts the ground along with the landing of the heel of a human body and moves upwards under the pressure of about 20 mm, the ground contact rod 11 drives the rack to move upwards, so that the rack and the outer gear enter a meshing state, meanwhile, the other rack which is originally in the meshing state and the inner gear perform fitting motion and are not separated all the time, and the state is recorded as that the clutch mechanism is in a closing state. In the support phase, the load of the backpack is transmitted to the space connecting piece 17 via the load supporting mechanism and the variable stiffness damper mechanism, the space connecting piece 17 is forced to move downwards, the downward movement trend of the space connecting piece 17 is sequentially transmitted to the rack, the inner gear, the outer gear, the other rack and the ground contact rod 11, but the lower end of the ground contact rod 11 cannot move downwards due to the ground contact, the space connecting piece 17 can only impact the damper 14, so that the damper 14 is changed into high stiffness, and then the load of the backpack is transmitted to the ground through the ground contact rod 11.
When the heel is lifted off the ground (40% of the gait cycle), the ground contact rod 11 moves downward under the action of the self-weight and the elastic force of the damper 14, so that the rack and the outer gear are disengaged, the rack and pinion mechanism is released and can rotate freely, the clutch mechanism enters an open state, and the damper connected with the clutch mechanism is released. During the period, the damper recovers a low rigidity state and freely swings with the human body. Wherein the reduction or increase of the length of the supporting device is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the damper along with the space connecting piece 17 and the sliding block on the linear guide rail. At the end of the swing phase, the rack and the medial gear are engaged, the heel is ready to land, and the next gait cycle is started, and the above-described movement process is repeated.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
