Embodiment 1

[0041] In this example, if figure 1 Shown is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the wire-rope-driven continuum robot provided by the present invention. It is mainly composed of a continuum robot driving device 1 and a continuum robot manipulator 2 . Wherein 1 is a continuum robot driving device, and the design content has been introduced in detail in the publication number CN105058423A. figure 2 There is a rope-driven continuum robotic arm with motion decoupling, which has been introduced in detail in the patent publication CN105014689A. The continuum robot drive device introduced in the publication number CN105058423A has certain versatility for the mechanical arm driven by the wire, for example, it can drive the mechanical arm introduced in the patent CN105014689A. This type of wire-driven mechanical arm can have a variety of design schemes, and its structural features and advantages are different.

Embodiment 2

[0055] The second embodiment is a modified example of the first embodiment. The main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that in the second embodiment, the upper end surface of the modular unit is provided with an upper ball joint surface 18 and the upper arc sweeping surface, the lower end surface is provided with a lower spherical hinge surface 15 and a lower arc sweeping surface 14;

[0056] A hinge structure is formed between the upper ball joint surface 18 of one modular unit and the lower ball joint surface 15 of another modular unit, specifically a ball joint structure.

[0057] Such as Figure 4 As shown, in Embodiment 1, when the symmetrical centerlines of the upper and lower end surfaces are not parallel, the manipulator section 3 can rotate in multiple directions, but the rotation directions are discrete and limited, and cannot rotate in any direction. The second type of modular cord-driven continuum manipulator is obtained by sweep...

Embodiment 3

[0060] The third embodiment is a modification of the first embodiment. The main difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that in the third embodiment, the upper end surface of the modular unit is provided with The blind hole channel 23, the lower end surface is provided with a flexible rod 26 matching the blind hole channel 23;

[0061] The end of the flexible rod 26 is provided with a fixed hinge 25; the bottom of the blind hole channel 23 is provided with a spherical groove matching the fixed hinge 25;

[0062] The flexible rod 26 of one modular unit forms a hinge structure through the fixed hinge 25 and the blind hole channel 23 of the other modular unit.

[0063] Such as Image 6 As shown, in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, since the modular units themselves are relatively large, and the range of motion between the modular units is relatively large, about 4 modular units can be selected according to the requirements of the range of motion and fle...

Abstract

The invention provides a modularized cord-driven continuum mechanical arm. The modularized cord-driven continuum mechanical arm comprises a plurality of modularized single bodies, a first hinge joint part and a second hinge joint part are arranged on the opposite surfaces of every two adjacent modularized single bodies respectively, the first hinge joint part of one modularized single body and the second hinge joint part of the other corresponding modularized single body form a hinge joint structure, the modularized single bodies are sequentially in hinge joint through the hinge joint structures to form mechanical arm joints, and the modularized single bodies are provided with function holes and cord passing holes arranged circumferentially sequentially. The modularized cord-driven continuum mechanical arm has the advantage that through different connecting and locking modes adopted between every two adjacent modularized single bodies, different continuum mechanical arms different in flexibility and load capacity can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mechanical arm, in particular to a modular wire-driven continuum mechanical arm. Background technique [0002] The joints of traditional manipulators are directly driven by motors and other mechanisms. Although the mechanism is simple, it increases the load of the manipulator, and the structure is not compact and the efficiency is low. It is generally difficult to meet the operating requirements of narrow and deep cavities or harsh environments. A continuum robot refers to a flexible robot with multiple continuously distributed bending, telescopic or torsional degrees of freedom. Due to its inherent super-redundancy characteristics, the movement and operation capabilities of continuum robots in confined spaces are much higher than those of traditional multi-joint rigid link robots. It has important application value in deep cavity and dangerous environment operations in other fields. [0003] Through searching the prior ar...
