- the foot rod The element 17 rotates clockwise and pulls the traction wire 15, and the spring 24 is gradually elongated along the spring guide sleeve 25 under the action of the traction wire 15.
- the exoskeleton energy storage phase ends, and with the thigh
- the protruding cylinder II 27 on the rotating disc 10 that the rod member 6 moves together makes the adjusting cylinder 20 rotate clockwise, which drives the pawl 13 to rotate counterclockwise around the axis, and the pawl 13 is stuck in the ratchet wheel 8 to carry out gravitational potential energy.
- the foot surface is completely in contact with the ground, and the spring one 24 is in the longest stretched state. Since the ratchet wheel 13 and the pawl 18 are in the buckled state, the chain transmission fails at this time, and the crank connected to the large chain wheel 23
- the connecting rod 14 is in the uppermost limit position.
- the spring one 24 gradually shortens, releasing energy to assist the hip joint.
- the ratchet wheel 18 and the pawl 13 are in a buckled state.
- the failure of the chain drive causes the crank connecting rod 14 to be in a relatively static state during this process. Linear motion.
- the crank connecting rod 14 rotates counterclockwise around its upper end point, and the force exerted by the joint action of the crank connecting rod 14 and the spring one 24 on the side of the spring guide sleeve 25 is used to assist the leg raising process.
- the hip joint movement angle reaches the maximum, and the raised cylinder 1 26 on the rotating disc 10 that moves with the thigh rod 6 rotates the adjusting cylinder 20 counterclockwise, so that the pawl 13 surrounds The shaft rotates clockwise, leaves the ratchet 8, and the energy is released.
- the spring one 24 is at its original length.
- the whole stage can effectively use the gravitational potential energy during walking to assist the user, and at the same time use the locking mechanism, so that after the energy is stored in the walking support period, it is released during the leg lift or swing period, which improves the coupling between the exoskeleton and the human body. .
