Rideable bipedal walking assist device

Bipedal walking assist device with a saddle and wing-type balancing unit

This technology features a rideable structure that supports the user's lower body and includes a saddle. It assists walking by driving a balancing unit, composed of a central actuator and wings, along with two wire-connected pivoting links that simulate hip and knee joints.

Conventional wearable walking assist devices suffer from low power transmission efficiency due to the distance between the power transmission arm and the joints. They are also structurally complex, struggle to assist with standing due to motor capacity limitations, and are prone to damage as loads concentrate on specific mechanical components.

This technology includes a saddle for the user to sit on. A walking actuator mounted on a horizontal support drives two wire-connected pivoting links to simulate the joint structure of the lower limbs, while suspension and tilt/gyro sensors ensure walking stability and shock absorption.

Key Features:

• A balancing unit consisting of two wings positioned in front of the rider, capable of pivoting around a central axis
• A central actuator located on the balancing unit's axis to drive the pivoting of the wings for balance, combined with a seatable saddle
• A horizontal support extending from the wings to the rear, and a support unit connected via pivoting links to support the thigh and lower leg
• A walking actuator that drives the rotation of the first pivoting link, with the first and second pivoting links connected by a wire
