The section will give some basic tests on details and typical, basic loads for them.
6.2.7. Hip
Description: the Item for the purpose of replacing the thigh of a person. Therefore, according to the previously described loads while performing different exercises for legs, designed item needs to at least satisfy us of the strength and deflection at corresponding loads. I have previously described in the formation of the customs Union, the most complex and Laden with movement to develop the mechanics will be the squat. For this exercise, the load on the link is maximized.
Model 1
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load 340 N
Weight:0.695 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 0.62
• Maximum deflection, mm: 3.34
It was assumed that the link of such parameters would more than satisfy the design, so even it was facilitated by drilling the material. However, after testing the part in the SolidWorks system, it became apparent that the link required major improvements to be able to work with such efforts.
Model 2
Material: Steel 30.
The boundary yield stress, 320 MPa:
Load 340 N
Weight: 0.873 kg
The weakest places in the previous sample were the holes, so it was decided to get rid of the holes in the weak zone, and the parts that were previously fixed by bolt connections, are now fixed by welding.
102
Results:
• Factor of safety: 2.54 • Maximum deflection, mm: 0.71
Moving can be considered within acceptable limits as the factor of safety, but in the process of developing a complete design, it became clear that such a detail will not be sufficiently technological in the Assembly of the structure and inconvenient for integration into its composition of new elements. Therefore was developed the same detail settings but more technologically advanced.
Model 3
It was decided to develop this part as a welded construction of sheet elements that were cut by laser. The advantage of such a part is that it is possible to apply virtually any material from existing in the sheet form and the final part can get virtually any geometric shape of the flat parts, which makes it possible to achieve the maximum possible results from the design at a constant weight. Standard profiles such an advantage of course can not boast , as are made of a narrow range of metals and have a relatively narrow assortment.
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load 340Н Weight: 1.2345 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 2.27 • Maximum deflection, mm: 1.26
As a result, regarding this detail, we can say that this design is quite technological and simple today. As can be seen from the design, the part can be welded to a number of elements, mainly cut on the laser, which allows the use of a wide range of materials while not being limited to the shape of the flat elements of the part. Also, this embodiment allows considerably easier in the future to integrate into the part holes for mounting of various fixtures and other fixtures, and the like.

6.2.8. Litka. Design of components
The design consists of several components that need to be tested separately.
Link 1
Description: the Part serves as a transition link between the knee joint and the joint of the foot rotation relative to the axis of the Shin. The part, in particular the mounting holes are designed for a constant variable
cyclic load.
Model 1
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load 340 N
Weight:0.078 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 0.22 • Maximum deflection, mm: 3.2
As in the previous part, it is not necessary to facilitate the item until there is no certainty that it is at least in the initial, light condition provides strength. The test result showed multiple zones that do not satisfy the tensile strength and have a safety factor of 0.219. As you can see, the main voltage concentrators are holes.
Model 2
Material: Steel 30.
The boundary yield stress, 320 MPa:
Load 340 N
Weight: 0.11 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 1.9
• Maximum deflection, mm: 0.52
After several modifications, the result was gradually obtained, which satisfies the strength and strength parameters. However, in further tests, it was revealed that the hole for fastening the hinge shaft to the knees will not be able to work with those loads regardless of its shape. In addition, a
104
complex form of opening would entail a separate technological complexity, and therefore, at least additional costs, There was a need for a conceptually different approach.
Model 3. Test 1
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load 340 N
Weight: 0.172 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 3.171
• Maximum deflection, mm: 0.224
In the case where the load acts on the part that way, the strength conditions finally satisfied us, however, it should be remembered that the load, depending on the actions performed by the system may have a different character, so this effect should also be checked.
Model 3. Test 2
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load: M kr=170 Nm
Weight: 0.172 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 0.43
• Maximum deflection, mm: 0.515
According to the test results, it was found that under such loads the part has an insufficient factor of safety, so it is recommended to replace the part material with a material with at least twice the yield strength.
The shaft of the hinge of the knee
For design reasons, it was decided to test this part only after obtaining acceptable dependent parts. As a result, the obtained part was tested with the following results.
Material: 45H Steel.
Yield point, 835 MPa:
Load: 170nm torque.
105
Weight: 0.087 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 2
• Maximum deflection, mm: 0.015
The shaft of the hinge of the foot rotation relative to the axis of the Shin
Material: 50X.
Yield point, 1650 MPa:
Load 340 N at a distance of 300mm from the edge of the part.
Weight:0.03 kg.
The hinge shaft has a minimum safety factor of 0.3 and displacement by force up to 0.55 mm, which makes you think about a different approach to the design. This does not mean that this design and its parts are poorly designed and not viable, but only that such a design can be applied to less loaded areas.
Results:
• Factor of safety: 0.31
• Maximum deflection, mm: 0.55
Calf link 2
The next task was to choose the design of caviar, which would satisfy us not only in strength but also in weight.
Model 1
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load 340 N
Weight: 0.27 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 0.615 • Maximum deflection, mm: 4.59
However, this part, which was created before the establishment of a clear TK and was unsatisfactory for this development both for the deflection and the factor of safety, so a long selection of the necessary design was carried out as this task requires not only the strength, but also the minimum own weight.
106
Model 2
The result was this part that performs aligned as seen. The shaft of the foot hinge and the flange for the hook of the springs of the passive foot stabilization system are present on the designed Lanka. At the same time, the difference in weight compared to the first sample is 115 grams, but a number of elements have already been integrated into the sample, which would need to be additionally fixed to the first sample.
Material: Steel 30.
The boundary yield stress, 320 MPa:
Load 340 N
Weight:0.398
Results:
• Factor of safety: 1.79
• Maximum deflection, mm: 1.76
Foot
Model 1
The first embodiment was the execution of the foot, which after clarification of the vehicle was obviously unacceptable.
A long experimental research work was also carried out on the modeling of the foot to identify the design that will meet the necessary parameters and have the least weight. Let me remind you that the goal is to create an integrated system that is able to return the ability to walk even those who have no legs at all.
Model 2
This design was close to the required parameters, but it had too much weight with its mechanical parameters.
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load 340 N
Weight: 0.573 kg
Results:
• Factor of safety: 0.278
• Maximum deflection, mm: 6
107
Model 3
As a result, the following construction was accepted as permissible.
Material: Steel 30.
Yield point, MPa: 320
Load: 550 N
Weight: 0.49 kg.
Results:
• Factor of safety: 1.3
• Maximum deflection, mm: 1.56
Conclusions: As a result of the search work, a foot model was found that will meet the needs of the development, but it should be understood that in the case of rehabilitation equipment, an individual approach is needed, since for example such a foot model can be used to work with any patients, but in the case of the absence of the patient's legs, from a technical point of view, it will be more reasonable to perform a symmetrical design of the foot, and for a patient with existing feet, such strength of this part will be excessive, as the stop user will have to add to the detail and the actual safety factor in the process of operation will be significantly higher. Therefore, it is advisable to take an individual approach to each individual case, because only in this way it will be possible to get the most balanced design that will not have controversial compromise solutions.
Summary
Therefore, the angles of rotation of the foot relative to the horizontal 15;0;20 degrees, respectively, the extreme upper position, horizontal and extreme lower.
In the equilibrium position the foot is in the lowermost position. The magnitude of the impact of the support on the foot in a precise contact
region of the surface of the foot sometimes: 550Н . In accordance with such
force foot will try to raise user conditional support "on tiptoes."
Thus, with these parameters and taking into account the geometry of the parts made, it is necessary to calculate the suitable springs. To
108
implement the calculation, use the calculation scheme. The calculation will be carried out in the MathCad system.
Based on these results, we can decide whether to further model the springs or change some parameters of the structure itself. For example, consider the increase in the levers on the foot, as the result of the calculation we see that the spring №2 works with sufficiently large forces, which can change even a small change in some sizes.
In particular, in the subsequent design of springs, you can use the Autodesk Inventor computer-aided design package.

7. SPECIAL SECURITY ISSUES
7.1. International standard ISO 13482:2014
A large number of versions and various designs of exoskeletons created to date and developed for the future, necessitates the introduction of their classification based on the most characteristic features [12]. Consider the classification of exoskeletons by application:
1. Exoskeletons for extreme applications. These include exoskeletons for military use and exoskeletons for use in the prevention and elimination of emergency situations.
The advantages of exoskeletons of this application are the possibility of their use not only to improve the security of the fighter on the battlefield, but also to improve the whole complex of its characteristics. As well as opportunities for the application of exoskeletons in the rubble is heavy machinery that will leave the maximum chance for survival save.
The main disadvantages of exoskeletons for extreme applications are due to the fact that they do not completely repeat the biomechanics of man, thereby imposing significant restrictions on his movements.
An example of an exoskeleton related to this area is shown in figure
4.1.
1. Exoskeletons for civil applications. These include mainly industrial and
medical exoskeletons.

Figure 7.1 – Prototype of the exoskeleton Hercule
It should be noted the following advantages of the second exoskeleton this area is considered as the ability to greatly facilitate the hard physical labor of workers in the industry and construction industry, the ability in some conditions to successfully replace heavy construction machinery, lifting machinery and mechanisms. And also the fact that the use of exoskeletons in medicine can not only accelerate the rehabilitation of patients, but also to increase the chances of restoring the mobility of patients with problems of the musculoskeletal system. Despite these advantages, it is necessary to pay attention to the shortcomings, namely the lack of research on the profitability of the use of exoskeletons in
