Description

Self-locking controllable compliant knee joint exoskeleton device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation assistance apparatuses, in particular to a self-locking controllable compliant knee joint exoskeleton device.
Background
The lower limb exoskeleton robot is an artificial exoskeleton worn outside a human body, can protect the human body and provide additional power, and can help an operator to complete a plurality of difficult tasks. The knee joint is taken as an important component of the exoskeleton, plays an important role in realizing various auxiliary functions of the exoskeleton robot, for example, the knee joint device is required to provide certain torque and radial supporting force when the mechanical exoskeleton assists the human body to walk.
Vibration of the knee exoskeleton device can cause discomfort to the wearer and even injury to the wearer's limbs, and therefore, good compliance of the knee exoskeleton device is required to improve the user's wearing experience. The knee joint device based on lasso driving can effectively isolate a driving element (such as a motor, a hydraulic cylinder and the like) from an executing mechanism, so that the overall flexibility of the device is improved, and long-distance transmission is easy to realize.
In actual use, it is sometimes necessary to assist the movement of the knee joint by the lasso, and sometimes to disengage the lasso from the movement of the knee joint, so that the limb of the wearer may move freely out of the constraint of the exoskeleton device, which requires both controlled and free modes of movement of the knee exoskeleton device. When controlled movement of the knee joint is desired, it is necessary to correlate the lasso with the movement of the knee joint; when free movement of the knee joint is desired, it is necessary to separate the knee joint from the movement of the lasso. The current controllable knee exoskeleton device with the above two modes needs to provide other driving mechanisms (named as mode switching driving mechanisms) besides lasso to achieve the function, and the design of the mode switching driving mechanism on the knee exoskeleton device not only increases the weight of the whole device, but also affects wearing comfort.
