Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanical flexible mechanisms, and relates to a fully flexible four-stable mechanism and a method for realizing the four-stable mechanism, which can be used in products such as switches, valves, positioners, and reconfigurable equipment, and has low energy consumption, The structure is simple, the cost is low, and no assembly is required. Background technique
[0002] Multistable mechanisms with multiple stable positions are commonly used in adaptive systems and some other fields. Traditional adaptive systems keep the system in the required stable position by applying external force or friction. The system that applies external force requires a lot of energy, and the system that uses friction will have losses, which will reduce the efficiency of the system and may eventually lead to system failure. .
[0003] Some existing multistable mechanisms are partially flexible mechanisms, and the problems of assembly and...
