The man-machine interaction control screen 14 is arranged on the outer side of the backpack 1, and output pressure and a damping mode can be adjusted through the man-machine interaction control screen 14.
The frame 2 is divided into a plurality of compartments for respectively carrying the air storage tank 3, the power supply 4, the air pump 6, the pressure sensor 8, the muffler 9, the microcontroller 10 and the electric proportional valve 11, so that a compact design is realized, and the compartments can independently perform noise reduction and noise reduction while fixing parts.

The electric proportional valve 11 needs to be connected with a pneumatic actuator through an air outlet 12 arranged on the backpack 1, and compressed air needs to be released in an air pipe connecting the electric proportional valve 11 to the actuator when pressure is released each time. In order to increase the utilization rate of the compressed gas, the electric proportional valve 11 is placed on the top of the frame 2, namely, the electric proportional valve 11 is directly connected with the air outlet 12, and the length of an air pipe of the electric proportional valve 11 connected to an external actuator is shortened.
