Structure Design and Interference Analysis of Walking Aids

Article Preview

Abstract:

The overall program of the walking aids which is designed to assist patients with lower limb paralysis to walk again is analysed in this paper. A detailed analysis and design is conducted especially for ball screw driving system.A three-dimensional prototype model of the walking aids is established and interference analysis is carried out in CATIA. The results show that the model dose not appear interference,and the structure is reasonable,which could determine the movement. The study results could provide a reference for the structure design and walking control of exoskeleton and humanoid robot and lay a solid theoretical basis for the achievement of a real sense of walking auxiliaryfuction.
