Abstract

The present invention relates to a civilian powered exoskeleton representing movement of a human body. The present invention is for a civilian who cannot use an industrial powered exoskeleton due to high price or heavy weight. To solve such a problem, the civilian powered exoskeleton uses a hydraulic lever, such that required force is distributed when lifting an article. High elastic metal is attached to a foot, such that fast speed is provided and an advantage of being light and inexpensive is provided. To use the civilian powered exoskeleton, the civilian powered exoskeleton is fixed by supporting a rear support skeleton (20) to user′s back and putting a foot on a foot support (42), a leg is fixed to a lower body skeleton (40), and finally, an arm is fixed to an arm exoskeleton (10). Accordingly, even a civilian can conveniently use a powered exoskeleton and increase life quality.

Description

민간용 동력형 외골격{omitted}Civilian powered exoskeleton

본 발명은 근력과 보행을 보조해주는 착용식 로봇에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 사용자의 전신에 착용되어 근력의 증강과 보행속도를 증가시킬 수 있는 착용식 외골격에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a wearable robot that assists muscle strength and gait, and more particularly, to a wearable exoskeleton that can be worn on a user's entire body to increase muscle strength and increase walking speed.

동력형 외골격이란, 파워 슈트, 외골격 로봇 등으로 알려졌으며, 사람이 입을 수 있는 외골격 같은 프레임과 사람의 운동에 부가적인 힘을 지원할 수 있는 전원으로 구성된 동력형 이동식 기계이다. 현재 존재하는 동력식 외골격들은 군용이나 산업용으로써, 너무 무거워 휴대하기 불편하고 가격이 너무 비쌌다. 그러나 최근 동력식 외골격에 대한 관심이 증가하면서, 외골격에 대한 민간인의 수요가 증가함에 따라, 가격이 너무 비싸서, 휴대하기 불편해서 민간인들이 사용하는데 불만이 발생하였다. 또한, 기존에 이처럼 산업형, 혹은 군용 동력형 외골격은 일상생활에서 가지고 다니며 활용하기에 문제가 있다. 따라서 민간인이 편리하고 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 동력형 외골격 로봇이 시급한 실정이다.Motorized exoskeleton is known as a power suit, exoskeleton robot, etc., and is a powered mobile machine composed of a frame, such as a exoskeleton that can be worn by a person, and a power source capable of supporting additional force in the movement of a person. Powered exoskeletons that exist today are too heavy for military or industrial use, making them inconvenient to carry and too expensive. However, as interest in powered exoskeleton has increased in recent years, as civilian demand for exoskeleton has increased, the price has become so expensive that it is uncomfortable to carry, causing complaints to civilians. In addition, the existing industrial or military-powered exoskeleton is problematic to carry and utilize in everyday life. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a motorized exoskeleton robot that can be easily and easily accessed by civilians.

민간인이 사용하기에는 너무 비싸거나 불편한 산업형, 군용 동력형 외골격을 민간인들도 사용할 수 있도록 저렴하고 사용하기 편리하게 만드는 것이 목적이다.Its purpose is to make industrial and military powered exoskeleton too expensive or inconvenient for civilians to use inexpensively and conveniently.

민간인이 사용하기 위해서 필요한 요소로는 휴대성과 착용성이 있다. 또한 착용성도 있는데 슈트의 무게는 모두 발로 향할 것이다. 발 받침대는 뒷받침 골격에 달린 하체골격의 하단부의 양 끝에서 상하로 조정이 가능하게 결합되고, 본 외골격 착용 시, 발을 지탱해준다. 이때 발 받침대의 밑넓이가 충분히 넓기 때문에 발로 지탱할 수 있는 힘이 분산되어서 슈트의 무게나 착용감에 대한 부담이 느껴지지 않는다. 이때 발 받침대가 넓기 때문에 속도의 문제가 생길 수도 있는데 이것은 보행 시 빨리 걸을 수 있게 해주는 가속 발판대가 해결할 수 있다. 이때 슈트의 재질은 고강도 알루미늄 합금으로 만들어져 기존의 금속들보다 훨씬 가볍고, 단단하며 탄성력이 좋아 부서질 외험도 적다. 또한 관절 이외의 움직임이 불필요한 부분을 고정할 때는 그 부분을 용접하여 슈트의 무게를 최소화하였다. 큰 힘을 내기 위해서는 유압식 실린더를 이용하여 적은 힘으로 더 많은 힘을 낼 수 있도록 하였다. 유압식 실린더는 팔 외골격에서 1차, 2차로 나누어져 힘을 효과적으로 증폭시킬 수 있게 하였다. 다리 부분에는 상체에서 오는 모든 힘을 지탱해 줄 수 있도록 유압식 실린더가 설치되었다. 기존의 동력형 외골격은 사람의 신체 크기에 맞춘 것이라 휴대하기 불편하다는 단점이 있다. 본 제품의 경우는 모든 관절을 이용하여 슈트를 가방과 같은 직육면체의 모양으로 접을 수 있다. 이때 가속 발판대는 손잡이 부분으로 접혀 휴대가 가능하도록 하였다.Elements required for civilian use include portability and wearability. There is also wearability, and the weight of the suit will all be on the feet. The foot rest is combined to adjust up and down at both ends of the lower end of the lower body skeleton attached to the backbone, and supports the foot when the present exoskeleton is worn. At this time, since the base of the foot rest is wide enough, the force to be supported by the foot is distributed so that the burden on the weight or fit of the suit is not felt. The wide foot rest can also cause speed problems, which can be solved by an accelerated footrest that allows you to walk quickly while walking. The material of the chute is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is much lighter, harder and more elastic than conventional metals, and therefore has little chance of breaking. In addition, when fixing parts that do not require movement other than joints, the parts are welded to minimize the weight of the chute. To produce a large force, a hydraulic cylinder was used to generate more force with less force. The hydraulic cylinders were divided into primary and secondary arms in the exoskeleton to effectively amplify the force. A hydraulic cylinder was installed on the leg to support all the forces from the upper body. Existing motorized exoskeleton has a disadvantage in that it is inconvenient to carry because it is adapted to the size of a human body. In the case of this product, all the joints can be used to fold a suit into a rectangular parallelepiped like a bag. At this time, the accelerator scaffold is folded to the handle portion to enable carrying.

이상과 같이 본 발명에 따르면 유압식 레버를 이용한 구조를 적용함으로써, 모터를 사용할 때보다 안정적으로 물건을 들 수 있으며, 산업용, 군용보다 그 무게가 가볍고 가격이 저렴하여 동력형 외골격이 민간인에게 더욱 쉽게 다가갈 수 있다. 또한 그 편리성과 휴대성으로 인해 사용장소에 대한 제한을 받지 않는 효과가 있다.According to the present invention as described above, by applying the structure using the hydraulic lever, it is possible to lift the object more stably than when using the motor, the weight is lighter and cheaper than the industrial, military, and the exoskeleton is more easily approached to civilians I can go. In addition, due to its convenience and portability, there is an effect that does not limit the use place.
