DRIVING ASSEMBLY AND MOTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18110460 titled 'DRIVING ASSEMBLY AND MOTION ASSISTANCE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The wearable device described in the patent application consists of a proximal support for the waist and a distal support for the thigh of the user. It also includes a driving assembly that generates power and a driving frame that transmits force to the distal support.
- The wearable device includes a proximal support for the waist and a distal support for the thigh of the user.
- A driving assembly is connected to the proximal support and generates power.
- A driving frame transmits the force from the driving assembly to the distal support.
- The driving assembly includes a housing, an actuator with a stator and rotor, a speed reducer, and a supporting part.
- The actuator is fixed to the housing and has a ring shape, while the rotor is located inside the stator and can rotate relative to it.
- The speed reducer is inserted inside the rotor and connects to the output end of the actuator.
- The supporting part supports the speed reducer and is detachably connected to the housing.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Assistive devices for individuals with mobility impairments.
- Rehabilitation devices for physical therapy.
- Sports training equipment for enhancing performance and preventing injuries.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides support and stability to the waist and thigh areas of the user.
- Generates power to assist with movement and reduce strain on the user's muscles.
- Allows for detachable components, making the device customizable and adaptable to different user needs.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved mobility and independence for individuals with mobility impairments.
- Enhanced rehabilitation and recovery for patients undergoing physical therapy.
- Increased performance and reduced risk of injuries for athletes during training.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable device may include a proximal support configured to support a proximal part (e.g., waist) of a user, a distal support configured to support a distal part (e.g., thigh) of the user, a driving assembly which is connected to the proximal support and configured to generate power, and a driving frame configured to transmit the force from the driving assembly to the distal support. The driving assembly may include a housing which is connected to the proximal support, an actuator including a stator which is fixed to the housing and has a ring shape and a rotor which is located inside the stator and rotatable relative to the stator, a speed reducer which is inserted inside the rotor and includes an input end which is connected to an output end of the actuator, and a supporting part configured to support the speed reducer and connected detachably to the housing.
