To　achieve　the　purpose　of　relieving　the　joints　pressure　of　human　walking,　reducing　the　joint　burden　and　assisting　human　walking,　this　paper　proposed　a　hip-knee　coupling　passive　energy　storage　assistance　exoskeleton　design　scheme　based　on　the　principle　of　human　walking.　The　hip-knee　coupling　mechanism　was　used　to　achieve　discrete　knee　joint　assistance,　which　was　a　clutch　control　method　to　control　knee　joint　assistance　by　hip　joint　motion.　In　this　paper,　the　effectiveness　of　this　exoskeleton　was　verified　using　simulation　and　experimental　validation　methods.　First,　a　joint　simulation　of　the　human-machine　model　using　Adams　was　used　to　verify　the　theoretical　effect　of　the　exoskeleton　on　the　human　body　assistance.　In　the　actual　wearing　experiment,　the　real　effectiveness　of　the　exoskeleton　was　verified　by　comparing　the　energy　consumption　during　human　movement　with　and　without　the　exoskeleton.　By　comparing　the　simulated　and　wearing　experimental　data,　it　is　approved　that　the　exoskeleton　can　reduce　the　energy　consumption　of　human　movement　by　12%　-　13%　.　©　2024　Beijing　University　of　Technology.　All　rights　reserved.
