MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND TRANSIENT PROCESSES IN THE HYDRAULIC DRIVE OF THE KNEE MODULE

Currently, the development of equipment and technology allows people with disabilities who have undergone lower limb amputation to continue an active life, despite its loss. The correct selection and adjustment of mechanism parameters to compensate for the lost capabilities of people who have undergone amputation affect their quality of life. To determine the parameters of the mechanisms, it is necessary to carry out a calculation or experiment. The use of a mathematical model and computer simulation makes it possible not to conduct expensive and time-consuming physical experiments. Hence the relevance and relevance of the topic of this work, aimed ultimately at creating an optimal design of a knee module with a servo cylinder. The article presents the wellknown, most widely used functional hydraulic diagrams of foreign analogues of the knee module hydraulic drive. Their detailed descriptions and operating principles are indicated. The known designs of hydraulic drives of the knee module are compared. The created mathematical model of the hydraulic drive of the knee module and its created design are presented.
