Abstract:
The configuration design of human-machine kinematically compatible type exoskeleton mechanism for lower limb rehabilitation training is studied. According to the biological skeletal model of human lower limb and the knee joint design technique of artificial lower limb, the rigid-body skeletal model with approximate motion function of human lower limb was established. The influences of the kinematic property difference between human joints and machine joints as well as the human-machine connecting posture deviation on human-machine kinematic compatibility were investigated. Based on the DOF analysis of human-machine closed chain and adding connective joints into human-machine linking sub-chains, a human-machine kinematically compatible type mechanism configuration of lower limb exoskeleton was proposed, and the ADAMS kinematic simulations of the skeletal-mechanism united models with or without human-machine connecting posture deviation were presented. The results showed that human-machine kinematic interference resulted from the kinematic property difference between human joints and machine joints as well as the human-machine connecting deviation can be avoided through adding connective joints into human-machine linking sub-chains, thereby the exoskeleton mechanism and human lower limb were kinematically complete compatible.
