Development of the normal walk state based energy consumption testing system for shorts

This paper develops an energy consumption testing system for shorts based on the normal walk state.The DC motor is selected as power in this system,eccentric wheel swing bar drives the simulated legs for walking,and data acquisition card of PCI2300 is used to collect data.In this way,the energy consumed by shorts can be obtained according to energy difference between loading sate and unloading state.This article also introduces conformation and working mechanism of every unit,obtains the range of walking is ± 34.8° from the structure of walking unit.At the same time,the operational procedures and energy consumption formulation were given.The experimental results show that the developed testing system is workable for energy consumption measurement through using it.
