Structure and use of leg support exoskeleton

摘要

The leg support exoskeleton is attached with a strap as a wearable device that supports the user when crouching. The exoskeleton includes a knee joint coupled to the first link and the second link and is configured to allow bending and stretching movement between the first link and the second link. The force generator has a first end rotatably connected to the first link. A restraining mechanism is connected to the second link and has at least two operating positions. In the first operating position, the second end of the force generator engages the restraining mechanism and the first link and the second link bend relative to each other. In the second operating position, the second end of the force generator is not engaged with the restraining mechanism. The first link and the second link freely bend and extend with respect to each other. [Selection] Figure 1
