ELASTIC DEVICE FOR TORQUE SUPPORT ON WEARABLE ROBOT KNEE JOINT

摘要

The present invention provides a wearable robot having an upper framework link (12) and a lower framework link (14). A buffering means (30) is connected between the upper framework link (12) and the lower framework link (14) through a cylinder (32) and a rod (34) and applies the elasticity of a spring (36) when the angle between the upper framework link (12) and the lower framework link (14) becomes less than a set value. Accordingly, there is an effect that an elastic force occurs to support an insufficient portion of the force that can be exerted by a driver at the moment that knee joint tilting close to squatting is reached, while not normally affecting the driver.
