    Abstract: The invention discloses a wearable multifunctional powered exoskeleton for cervical vertebra rehabilitation, and relates to the field of man-machine interaction rehabilitation aids. The wearable multifunctional powered exoskeleton for cervical vertebra rehabilitation comprises an active drive motor module, a fixed supporting module and a movable joint component; the active drive motor module is connected to the fixed supporting module, and comprises a left shoulder push rod motor, a right shoulder push rod motor, a cervico-thoracic vertebra left front side push rod motor, a cervico-thoracic vertebra left rear side push rod motor, a cervico-thoracic vertebra right front side push rod motor, and a cervico-thoracic vertebra right rear side push rod motor; and the active drive motor module and the movable joint component are combined to jointly form a six-connecting rod power-driven structure. Through the implementation of the wearable multifunctional powered exoskeleton for cervical vertebra rehabilitation, the passive traction, antiflexion and retroextension, lateral flexion and horizontal rotation four-degree-of-freedom rehabilitation exercises of a cervical vertebra are realized, the traction training of a neck is performed, and the directional resistance training of neck muscles is realized. The wearable multifunctional powered exoskeleton for cervical vertebra rehabilitation improves the muscle force of the neck, enhances the stability of the cervical vertebra, improves and corrects the biomechanical balance of the cervical vertebra.

    Abstract: This invention discloses a semi-active rigid-flexible coupling exoskeleton based on a single-loop bidirectional damping regulator and relates to a power assisting mechanism in the field of robots, the exoskeleton including a waist assembly, a leg assembly, and a hydraulic damping regulator; the hydraulic damping regulator includes a cylinder body, a titanium alloy sleeve, a cylinder head, a piston, an extension assisting spring, an oil injection port plug, a staggered channel-type valve body, a valve body sealing seat, a valve body-end bevel gear, an angle sensor, a motor fixing seat, a DC servo motor, a coupler, and a motor-end bevel gear. According to the invention, two modes of power assistance or damping regulation, i.e., a heavy-object-carrying mode and a walking-with-load mode, can be enabled; the heavy-object-carrying mode supports carrying from a higher to a lower position and the other way around, characterized by good applicability; moreover, the knee joint can be assisted when naturally bending in a stooping state; a semi-active torque adjusting system is formed with a hydraulic damper and a spring, with the magnitude of assistance and damping force adjustable; also, this invention features a light weight and good man-machine coupling.
