Exoskeleton device for aiding walking of lower limbs

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary devices and discloses an exoskeleton device for aiding the walking of lower limbs. The exoskeleton device comprises a foot bottom plate, a U-shaped fixed support, an elastic bandage, two telescopic supports, two first supports and two second supports, wherein the elastic bandage is arranged in the U-shaped opening of the fixed support; the two telescopic supports are positioned at the rear parts of the left and right sides of the foot bottom plate and the fixed support; the front portions of the left side and the right side of the fixed support are each provided with a clutch device capable of storing energy and releasing energy; the upper ends of the two first supports are hinged to the two clutch devices in a one-to-one correspondence mode; the lower ends of the two first supports are correspondingly hinged to the front portions of the left side and the right side of the foot bottom plate; the upper ends of the two second supports are correspondingly hinged to the lower portions of the two first supports; and the lower ends of the two second supports are correspondingly hinged to the left side and the right side ofthe rear portion of the foot bottom plate. The exoskeleton device for aiding the walking of lower limbs in the invention is free of power source design, simple in structure, convenient to use and capable of reducing production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary devices, in particular to a walking aid exoskeleton device for lower limbs. Background technique [0002] The lower extremity walking exoskeleton is a device used to help humans reduce the metabolic energy of their calf muscles when they walk normally. Through the mechanical design of the device, the purpose of reducing the metabolic energy of the calf muscles and assisting normal walking is achieved. [0003] The lower extremity walking exoskeleton acts on the calf, parallel to the calf muscle. During the process of walking, the thermal energy and mechanical energy consumed by the calf muscle are collected and fed back to the calf muscle to reduce the metabolic energy of the calf muscle. In the existing mechanism scheme, it can be mainly divided into devices with power source and devices without power source. The mechanism design of the non-power device is less, and the cost of the powe...
