Exoskeleton appliance assisting human body support and helping people to sit up

Abstract

The invention discloses an exoskeleton appliance assisting human body support and helping people to sit up. The exoskeleton appliance comprises a waist assembly, a thigh assembly, a shank assembly anda support assembly, wherein the support assembly comprises a thigh fixing plate fixed at the rear part of the thigh assembly and a shank fixing plate fixed at the rear part of the shank assembly; a sliding strip rod is hinged to the bottom of the thigh fixing plate and glidingly arranged in a sliding rail; the sliding strip rod extends into the sliding rail from the upper end of the sliding railand slides in the sliding rail in a telescopic manner; a ground supporting rod is also fixed in the sliding rail; the upper end of the sliding rail is connected with the thigh fixing plate through a support rod; two ends of the support rod are hinged to the upper end of the sliding rail and the bottom of the thigh fixing plate correspondingly; the sliding rail is also connected with the shank fixing plate through a connecting rod; and two ends of the connecting rod are hinged to the sliding rail and the shank fixing plate correspondingly. The exoskeleton appliance is simple in structure, easyto produce and manufacture, low in cost and convenient to use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a human body auxiliary support device, in particular to an exoskeleton appliance. Background technique [0002] At present, there are no very mature research results on this project at home and abroad, and most of the research and development products are still in the trial stage due to the high cost. Japan is a developed country with a very serious aging process. Therefore, Japan attaches great importance to the quality of life of the elderly. The research on exoskeleton assistive devices for the elderly was first carried out in Japan, but up to now, Japan has not been able to invent a practical exoskeleton assistive device for the elderly that can be mass-produced. [0003] Problems existing in related products: 1. Complex structure; 2. Inconvenient operation; 3. Heavy power unit; 4. Limited torque and power, which makes the wearer’s movements more difficult; 5. Unsightly appearance; Meet the comfort of the wearer, limit th...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The research on exoskeleton assistive devices for the elderly was also carried out first in Japan, but so far Japan has not been able to invent a practical exoskeleton assistive device for the elderly that can be mass-produced

[0003] Problems existing in related products: 1. Complex structure; 2. Inconvenient operation; 3. Heavy power unit; 4. Limited torque and power, which makes the wearer’s movements more difficult; 5. Unsightly appearance; Meet wearer comfort, limit wearing time, etc.

Among them, the most representative Lokomat company has a global sales volume of only more than 100 units. Its high cost, complicated structure and operation process have brought great difficulties to the actual promotion.
