Problems solved by technology

[0007] In summary, there have been some achievements in imitating elephant trunk manipulators, which are mainly realized by pneumatic means. Due to the large volume of the air compressor, the entire system occupies a large area; in addition, the structure of the device is complex and expensive; Sexuality and other issues, energy consumption is also high

Abstract

The invention discloses a trunk-simulating mechanical arm unit device and belongs to the technical field of robots. The trunk-simulating mechanical arm unit device comprises a base, a plurality of artificial muscle assemblies, a plurality of middle parts, a plurality of springs, an end part and a flexible cover, wherein each artificial muscle assembly comprises a driver, a transmission mechanism and a flexible screw rod assembly. The trunk-simulating mechanical arm unit device has multiple degrees of freedom, can bend, stretch out and draw back in multiple directions, can form various bending spatial shapes, enables a tool connected with the tail end of the trunk-simulating mechanical arm unit device to reach any spatial position, is good in maneuverability, is good in flexibility, is high in safety in the interaction process with people, and meanwhile is light in self-weight, small in size, compact in structure and low in cost. The trunk-simulating mechanical arm unit device can be widely applied to various automatic systems needing mechanical arms.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to the structural design of a mechanical arm unit device imitating an elephant trunk. Background technique [0002] Robots are designed to perform tasks in place of humans and usually require a pair of arms. The human arm has seven degrees of freedom, belongs to the series cantilever structure, has well-developed muscles, can generate a lot of force and move at a high speed, all of which make the development of the mechanical arm very difficult. Whether it is the CMU / Sarcos robot developed by Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, the HUBO robot developed by the Korean High Technology Research Institute, and the ASIMO robot developed by Japan's Honda Corporation...these have a common feature: these traditional robot arms are all A plurality of rigid connecting rods are composed of joints in series or in parallel, which have the disadvantages of complex structur...
