Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a hip joint device and a wearable robot including the hip joint device, and more particularly, to a hip joint device and a wearable robot including the same.
A wearable robot refers to a wearable robot that uses a synchronization between a user and a robot to support a user's strength by wearing the wearable robot. Wearable robots are being developed for various purposes such as medical rehabilitation, industrial strength assistance, and soldier wearing.
Generally, wearable robots consist of active joints in all joints of hip, knee, and ankle joints for heavy object transfer and compensation. However, when all of the joints are configured as an active joint structure, the weight of the driving motor or the hydraulic system increases the weight of the robot as a whole, and energy consumption is increased.
In addition, it is necessary to use a multi-degree-of-freedom controller when walking, and it is difficult to control the load of the heavy object because the countermeasure against the load of the heavy object must be implemented through the motor or the hydraulic system. That is, a wearable robot having all the joints in an active joint structure is not preferable in terms of joint control and energy efficiency
In recent years, wearable robots have been developed that combine an active joint structure and a passive joint structure. For example, the ankle joint may be active, and the knee joint or hip joint may be passive.
Conventionally, the hip joint of the wearable robot, which is conventionally manufactured by passive type, has a limited range of motion of the joint, which is inconvenient for the human body when wearing the human body or the human motion can not be reproduced.
Korean Patent No. 10-1186540.
