HIP JOINT STRUCTURE FOR A WEARABLE EXOSKELETON ROBOT CAPABLE OF RESTRICTING THE ROTATION RANGE OF LEG STRUCTURES

摘要

PURPOSE: A hip joint structure for a wearable exoskeleton robot is provide to improve stability and durability against bending force and torque applied to a hip joint structure by guiding the rotation of a pair of leg structures by using an arc-shaped guide member.;CONSTITUTION: A hip joint structure for a wearable exoskeleton robot comprises a rotation member(110), a guide member(120), a rotation body(130), and a connecting body(140). The rotation member is installed over one side at the back side of a pelvis structure(10). One end of the rotation member is rotated based on a first horizontal axis(1). The guide member is fixed in one side of a hip joint structure. The rotation body is installed in one side of the rotation member. The connecting body is installed in the rotation body and rotated based on a second vertical axis(2). A leg structure(20) is connected to the connecting body and rotated based on a third axis(3) at a right angle to the first axis. One end of the rotation member is reciprocated along the guide member.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013
