System for Supporting Upper Limb Muscle Strength

摘要

PURPOSE: A supporting device for muscular power of upper limbs is provided to improve the stability of the device by reducing load torque applied to an actuator by amplifying the torque of the actuator. CONSTITUTION: A supporting device for muscular power of upper limbs comprises a linear transferring shaft(10), a link combining unit(12), an exoskeleton robot arm(13), a second actuator(14), and a wrist joining unit(15). The linear transferring shaft is driven by a first actuator(11). The link combining unit is reciprocated back and forth along the linear transferring shaft. The exoskeleton robot arm is connected to the link combining unit. The second actuator rotates the exoskeleton robot arm. The wrist joining unit is connected to the front end of the exoskeleton robot arm and a working part for handling weighted materials is installed in the wrist joining unit.
