Description

Bionic stretching integral multi-degree-of-freedom self-supporting flexible ankle joint wearing power assisting device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of walking assisting and power assisting equipment, in particular to the technical field of bionic stretching integral multi-degree-of-freedom self-supporting flexible ankle joints.
Background
The ankle joint is an important joint for connecting the leg and the foot and is a key part for providing support and movement for the body during walking of a person. Since the ankle joint is the joint that is used most frequently in daily activities, damage is more likely to occur than other joints.
Existing wearable assistive devices can be divided into rigid wearable devices and flexible wearable devices. Among them, the rigid device is the most widely studied device, and in practical applications, the rigid wearable device is mainly used. Rigidity wearing equipment utilizes rigidity original papers such as member to simulate human skeleton system, constitutes the system of similar human skeleton through the rigidity original papers of multiunit, and the wearing person drives the member motion and then supplementary wearing person's walking through the power original paper after wearing rigidity wearing equipment. The rigid wearable device has the advantages of having the supporting characteristic, but in terms of the biological mechanism, the main bearing function in walking is not a skeletal system but a muscular system. Rigid wearable devices are generally large in size and not conducive to movement by the wearer due to structural strength, and although some of the assistive devices separate the driver from the user and rest on the ground to reduce weight, such separate rigid wearable devices limit the range of motion of the user. And most of the wearable devices can only realize movement in a single degree of freedom, resulting in unsatisfactory effect in assisting.
The flexible wearable device is a brand new wearable device research direction in recent years, and mainly simulates a group of muscles which play a main role when a human body walks, and the muscle is cooperated with muscles of a wearer to reduce the metabolic consumption of the muscles and realize the function of assisting walking. The flexible wearable device generally utilizes the rope to simulate muscle, and whole mechanism weight is lighter than rigid wearable device, and because the rope generally is the under-constraint to the joint, so flexible wearable device degree of freedom is more than rigid wearable device. And because the muscle system is mainly used for walking of the human body, the flexible wearable device is superior to the rigid wearable device in the power assisting efficiency. However, as the mechanism of the supporting action on the muscle system of the human body is not clearly researched, most of the flexible power assisting devices cannot support the human body and only can assist a wearer with walking dysfunction to walk.
Because above-mentioned all kinds of existing ankle joint helping hand equipment can know, how to realize possessing muscle system high efficiency helping hand also can possess more multi freedom and certain structural support power simultaneously, alleviate ankle joint pressure and become one of the urgent problems that need to solve in the auxiliary walking field gradually.

In the direction of the secondary degree of freedom, as no rigid constraint is added, the whole system can be tensioned on other degrees of freedom with corresponding degrees of freedom. However, by adjusting the prestress on each flexible rope in the left passive flexible wire unit and the right passive flexible wire unit, the structure can have higher rigidity in the direction of the secondary degree of freedom, so that the movement range of the direction of the secondary degree of freedom is limited, and small-range movement in the direction of the secondary degree of freedom is realized while movement in the primary degree of freedom is allowed during movement. Meanwhile, along with the increase of the deformation of the flexible rope in the direction of the secondary degree of freedom, the restoring force provided by the structure is increased, and a certain limiting function can be realized. And because the flexible rope is adopted in the integral tensioning structure, the integral tensioning structure has certain elasticity, and can realize certain energy storage function.
