The size is equivalent, allowing the particles to flow without accumulating on the sealing element. However, this paper does not involve the design of the performance adjustment of the suspension system. U.S. Patent No. 7,691,154, which is a system and method for controlling the pressure in the knee joint of a prosthetic limb, can control the pressure in the knee joint of the (4) filling or film deformation, and reduce the output, but it is not aimed at different speeds and sizes. The function of providing different damping coefficients when applying force input. A control system for the prosthetic knee joint can adjust its control strategy, change the knee joint in the material, the controller can resist some degree of interference, but it needs the system and control means to operate, making it limited in use. . '," [Summary] This work proposes a lower limb auxiliary device and method. In the system, the shock absorber and the assist ship are provided for the thinner. The main damping factor is 1. The damping coefficient can be adjusted according to the magnitude or speed of the ground reaction force; The adjustment process of the damping residual is self-contained and does not require manual operation. 3. The damping coefficient breaking process is mechanical operation, and does not require any power system to enter 201231038; 4. It can be compressed at the prosthetic speed or high speed back. During the bombing, the damping coefficient is automatically reduced to reduce the impact force of the user's body or to increase the propulsive force of the auxiliary user; 5. It can be automatically activated during the lower speed compression of the prosthetic limb or during the lower speed rebound. Increase the damping coefficient to stabilize the continuous oscillation of the user's body, or to reduce the propulsive force of the auxiliary user, or to improve the effectiveness of the user's own muscle strength; • 6. At the very low speed compression of the prosthetic limb, Or during the very low speed rebound, the automatic locking damping system 'improves the overall rigidity of the prosthesis, avoids unexpected swings at specific times, or uses When propelling with its own muscle strength, it travels with the effectiveness of the extreme south. [Embodiment] The present invention discloses a lower limb assisting device and method that can automatically adjust the damping coefficient according to the load condition, and the present invention is worn on the human body, such as the map. Show that the human body (A) is a knee amputation patient with a large leg stump (eight gossip), which is intertwined with the present creation (B). This creation (B) includes a prosthetic leg (B1), a prosthetic limb Knee joint (B2), a prosthetic leg (B3), a shock absorber upper tube (2), a shock absorber unit lower tube (1), a prosthetic ankle joint (B4), and a prosthetic foot plate (B5 One of the structures and force diagrams of the calf part of the creation is shown in Figure 2, in which the prosthetic knee joint (B2) and the prosthetic ankle joint (B4) contain a shock absorber unit (2) and a shock absorber unit. The lower tube (丨), the lower tube (1) of the shock absorbing unit contains the main piston (11) and the two are fixedly linked to each other, and the lower tube (丨) of the shock absorbing unit is sleeved - the shock absorber unit upper tube (2), The upper tube (2) of the shock absorbing unit has a top end cover (4) closing the end and a bottom end cover (41) at the other end to close the end. The bottom end cover (with a through hole for the main piston rod (10) to pass through and solidify with the fixing tube (9) in the 201231038 tube (i), the other end of the fixing tube (21) and the damping gas ( ▲Vacuum, adjust the middle (62==2=^^ Contains oil, the top gas surface reaction force (5) is transmitted to the prosthetic ankle joint (4), which can push the main piston (11) to squeeze the oil (3) Each flow channel flows to the upper oil chamber (63). L and Ni static = T is a damped stator - a - in the embodiment, the hybrid stator (3) body has at least two through holes respectively for accommodating the compression side The compression side valve member includes a compression side damping mover (311) which is urged by the elastic force and stays on the side of the damping stator (3), which is another One end is blocked by the thrust (313), and the thrust (313) is fixed to the other side of the damping stator (3). On the other hand, the configuration of the rebound side valve element is similar to that of the compression side valve element, only configured The opposite direction is not described here. The compression side damping mover (311) has the same structure as the rebound side damping mover (321). Here, only the compression side damping mover (311) is taken as an example, see FIG. 4 for one of the damping mover structures. An embodiment wherein the configuration of the compression side damper (311) includes a fourth flow port (3114) through which high pressure fluid for the lower oil chamber (62) flows into the mover and via at least one set of first flow ports (3111) flowing radially outward of the compression side damper (311) (in order to increase the flow rate, at least one set of second flow ports (3112) may be added. 'The second flow port (3112) The length, the position and the width may correspond to the first flow port (3111) in a predetermined relationship, and the fluid flows through the at least one set of third flow ports (3113) toward the elastic member (312) in FIG. 'And through the hole in the thrust (313), flows into the low pressure side of the upper oil chamber (63). The flow ports of the compression side damping mover (311) are sized such that when the damping mover moves to a predetermined position, the flow rate of the high and low pressure side fluids, the size of the flow ports, the constant of the spring, The size of the through hole on the preloading and thrusting (313) is in a predetermined correspondence relationship. In the case of the ground force exerted by the prosthetic foot on the very low speed (below the first value), it is 201231038. If the user is stationary or resists the body with his own muscle strength, the ground reaction force ( 5) It will be transmitted to the main piston (η) via the prosthetic foot plate (B5) and the prosthetic ankle joint (B4j), and the oil in the lower oil chamber (62) will flow to the upper oil chamber via the damping stator (3). (63), since the force is the compression direction for shock absorption, the rebound side valve will be blocked by the hole wall and locked, and there is no contribution to the compression private sequence, so in the compression program Ignore the action of the rebound side valve element; please refer to Figure 5 'The ground reaction force is pushed to the left (not shown), causing the main piston (11) to move to the left, so that the fluid pressure in the lower oil chamber (62) increases, however, When the hydraulic force is used to compress the total force on the side damping mover (311) against the thrust of the elastic member (312), the compression side damping mover (3H) does not move, and the fluid hardly moves from the lower oil chamber (62). Flow to the upper oil chamber (63), or only a small number of fluids are caused by errors in the machining of the components. The gap flows to the upper oil chamber (63) 'This achieves the automatic locking effect of the creation, at which time the user's muscle strength can be transmitted to the ground with great efficiency, and only a very small part is absorbed by the creation. If there is a slight speed (above the first value) when the ground reaction force (5) is compressed, for example, when the user touches the ground with his own muscle force to move the body forward, as shown in FIG. 6, the pressure in the lower oil chamber (62) acts on The force on the compression side damping mover (311) has overcome the elastic force of the partial elastic member (312), so the compression side damping mover (311) starts to move to the left, and at this time, the first-class port (3111) has at least a part. The holes of the damper stator (3)^h are mutually conductive, so that the fluid can flow to the low pressure side oil chamber (63) through the third flow port (3丨13) to complete the pressure relief action, so that the cost can be created at this time. The low-speed ground reaction force has a slightly larger damping effect, so the user's muscle strength can be effectively transmitted to the ground. If there is a high-speed (second value) ground reaction force (5) for compression, as shown in Figure 7. The pressure in the lower oil chamber (62) acts on the compression side to dampen the mover (311). The elastic force of most of the elastic members (312) is taken, so the compression side damping mover (311) moves to the left and the middle medium w. At this time, most of the first flow port (3111) is electrically connected to the holes on the damping stator (3) ( And if there is a second flow port (3112), the second flow port 12 201231038 (3112) will have at least a portion of the hole in the damping stator (7), which can increase the effective flow port area. It can flow through the third flow port (31 13) to the low pressure side oil chamber (63) to complete the faster pressure relief action, so at this time, the low damping effect of the high speed ground reaction force input can be achieved. Therefore, if too large external reaction force is input to the user's body at this time, a great part of the energy will be absorbed by the creation, and the impact on the user will be reduced. The above description of Figures 5 to 7 has fully demonstrated that the creation is at very low speed, low speed,
