The flexible joint for the passive exoskeleton comprises a shell, an adjusting module and an eccentric wheel module, and the eccentric wheel module is arranged below the adjusting module; the eccentric wheel module comprises an eccentric wheel and an eccentric wheel connecting piece, the top of the eccentric wheel makes contact with the bearing, the eccentric wheel is fixedly connected with the eccentric wheel connecting piece, and the central angle of the eccentric wheel is larger than 180 degrees. Compared with the prior art, the power assisting device has the beneficial effects that the rotation angle range of the eccentric wheel is greatly widened, the eccentric wheel connecting piece can swing within the opening range of the shell, action limitation cannot be caused to a user, and therefore power assisting can be conducted on the movement conditions such as deep squat with the large swing amplitude; the device can be widely applied to a plurality of different joints; a large-headed bolt is arranged betwe
