Abstract
A weight compensation device includes a first link, a weight compensation module to which the first link is connected, and a second link connected to the weight compensation module rotatably around a first rotating shaft. The weight compensation module includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member and an actuator, and when a user makes a joint movement from an initial pose, the second link, the first rotating member and the second rotating member rotate in a sequential order in said direction to compress the actuator, and when the user returns to the initial pose, the actuator is restored to an original state and pushes the second rotating member, making a rotational force of the second link stronger.
Claims8
A weight compensation device comprising:
- a first link, a weight compensation module to which the first link is connected, and a second link connected to the weight compensation module rotatably around a first rotating shaft,
- wherein the weight compensation module includes:
- a first rotating member connected to the first rotating shaft of the second link, the first rotating member configured to rotate together with the first rotating shaft,
- a second rotating member configured to rotate around a second rotating shaft, the second rotating member connected to the first rotating member, and
- an actuator connected to the second rotating member, the actuator configured to be compressed by a rotation of the second rotating member in a direction,
- wherein when a user makes a joint movement from an initial pose, the second link, the first rotating member and the second rotating member rotate in a sequential order in said direction to compress the actuator, and
- wherein when the user returns to the initial pose, the second link rotates in an opposite direction, a compressive force acting on the actuator is removed, and the actuator is restored to an original state and pushes the second rotating member, making a rotational force of the second link stronger.
