RT info:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesis T1 Diseño de exoesqueleto superior para prevenir sobreesfuerzo en el hombro A1 González Armas, Antonio AB The importance of worker’s health, have made the beginning of study of theexoskeletons. This Project presents an exoskeleton design which goes designed forreduce the shoulder joint effort, which presents several risk in some Jobs. In thiswork, have been studied a “Levitate” exoskeleton improvement, because many Jobswhere the worker stay with amrs above the heart level for a long time, present anhigh risk percentage of being injured.For the exoskeleton design, many studies have been done. On the one hand,has been studied the arm’s strenghts. Once this has been calculated, we have todesign something to reduce the effort. Several ideas and opinions gave two designsstipulated in the Project. Looking for the best ergonomic system for the person whowill use it, we had to search a simple method, which could be introduced in “Levitate”exoskeleton. The first studied improvement has been to put a diagonal slide bar forreduce the shoulder effort. The second one, has been to put a spring in the middleof two “Levitate” exoskeleton bars. Both of them, are improvements of thisexoskeleton, but we have already studied a posible injury in the worker’s legs,studying the tibia rupture, the horizontal bar flexion and the vertical bar buckling.Finally, both studies has been made for two materials, Steel and aluminium.We have used the Solidworks program for the exoskeletons design, and we havemade a Budget comparison of every exoskeleton designs.
