step 2, after receiving the processed signal, the microprocessor calculates the difference between the processed signal and normal human body gait advancing data stored in a memory in advance, searches a conforming gait cycle stage according to the difference value, and controls the rotating speed of a driving motor by judging the current stage;
step 3, when the driving motors rotate, the synchronous belt wheels are driven to rotate, the rotating speeds of the two driving motors are consistent, the rotating speeds of the two synchronous belt wheels are also consistent, the rotating motion of the motors is transmitted to the rocker sleeve 15 through the synchronous belts, so that the rotating motion is carried out, and when the rocker sleeve 15 is in fixed rotating motion, the rocker 16 is driven to do reciprocating swing;
step 4, the foot elastic structure 13 is connected with the rocker 16 through a foot connecting threaded hole 37 by a bolt, the rocker 16 swings back and forth around the fixed point of the rocker round shaft 27 of the rocker 16 to drive the foot elastic structure 13 to move, and the ankle shell 3 is relatively fixed, so that an included angle which changes along with the change of angles of the shank and the thigh is formed between the foot elastic structure 13 and the ankle shell 3, and the whole action is completed;
and 5, when the power supply is cut off, namely the driving motor and the control circuit 6 stop, the active link of the whole ankle artificial limb stops working. That is, when the power is cut off, the rocker 16 is not driven by the driving force from the driving motor, but swings due to the elastic structure of the foot being forced to bend, and other structures all play a supporting role at this time.
