Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bionic robot joints, and in particular relates to a robot joint driven by imitation muscles, which is composed of a double-crank slider mechanism and is similar to human muscle resistance driving characteristics. Background technique [0002] Human joints have the characteristics of flexible movement, light weight and high output force. The robot joints driven by parallel confrontation are more and more paid attention to by researchers because the driving mode is consistent with the principle of human joint action, and it is convenient to simulate the action characteristics of human joints. How to make robot joints imitate the action principle and action characteristics of human joints to the greatest extent, so that they have similar functional characteristics to human joints, has always been the goal of researchers. Among the robot joints that have emerged in recent years using parallel confrontation d...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. The robot joint is based on the parallel counter-driven pneumatic artificial muscles. The joint uses two pneumatic artificial muscles to provide the driving force. The driving force is large but the positioning accuracy is low, and it is easy to generate vibration during the movement

[0004] 2. The robot joint based on the parallel counter-drive of the rotating motor is characterized by large driving force and high precision, but the structure of the joint part is relatively complicated and a winding device needs to be installed

[0005] 3. The robot joint based on the piezoelectric actuator parallel counter-driven, although the joint has the advantages of simple structure and small size, but the driving force is also small, so it is only suitable for driving small joints

[0006] The above three types of existing robot joint mechanisms still have many limitations in imitating human joint movements.
