Abstract

The invention discloses an actuating control device for a spatial-bending shape memory alloy actuator. The device comprises a detecting circuit, a selection and amplification circuit, a digital signal processor and a power actuation circuit, wherein the detecting circuit is used for detecting bending signals of the shape memory alloy actuator and transmitting the bending signals acquired in all directions to the selection and amplification circuit; the bending signals are transmitted to the digital signal processor after being selected and amplified; the digital signal processor calculates and determines the heating pulse time of shape memory alloy wires according to the difference between desired signals and actual signals and outputs control electric signals to the power actuation circuit; and the power actuation circuit controls the operation status of the shape memory alloy actuator by communicating and stopping the heating of the shape memory alloy wires. The actuating control device for the spatial-bending shape memory alloy actuator adopts current actuation control, has simple control mode, and is convenient for integration and miniaturization. The actuation control device for the spatial-bending shape memory alloy actuator meets the comprehensive requirement of miniaturization, precision positioning and flexible transmission and has outstanding technical advantage and potential and broad application prospects in the fields of humanoid robots, medical artificial limbs, endoscopes and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of application of functional materials, and relates to the technical field of application of shape memory alloys. Specifically, it relates to a space bending shape memory alloy driver and its drive control device. Background technique [0002] Shape memory alloy (Shape Memory Alloy, SMA) is a kind of functional material, which has shape memory effect (Shape Memory Effect, SME), that is, after SMA is subjected to high-temperature setting treatment, it is cooled to room temperature or low temperature, and an external force is applied to make SMA Plastic deformation occurs, and if the SMA is heated to a certain temperature, the plastic deformation can disappear and return to the shape memorized after high temperature setting. Using the SME of SMA, various shape memory alloy actuators (Shape Memory Alloy Actuator, SMAA) can be made. [0003] Compared with traditional electromagnetic drives, SMAA has many advant...
