Abstract

A bionic shoulder joint based on dielectric elastomer actuators comprises a shoulder joint connector, a shoulder joint support, an upper arm support, two upper-arm connecting rods and the two dielectric elastomer actuators, wherein the shoulder joint connector is provided with a rotation sleeve, and the front end of the shoulder joint support is installed at the rotation sleeve so that the shoulder joint support can rotate in the shoulder joint connector; and an intermediate shaft of the upper arm support is installed in two sleeves and can rotate in the sleeves. Two symmetrically arranged hemispherical grooves extend out from the front end of the upper arm support and are used for being connected with round heads of the two connecting rods. The tail end of each connecting rod and the output end of the corresponding dielectric elastomer actuator are installed together. The two actuators act at the same time and can control the movement direction and movement angle of the shoulder joint. The bionic shoulder joint is similar to true conditions of a human body on the aspects of structure, movement and functions, and has good flexibility. Besides, the bionic shoulder joint is simple in structure, reasonable in design and convenient to install and can be applied to the shoulder joint design of various humanoid robots, and the application prospects are quite extensive.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the invention relates to the technical field of shoulder joints, and belongs to a humanoid shoulder joint based on a dielectric elastomer actuator. Background technique [0002] Humanoid robots are robots designed and manufactured to imitate human shapes and behaviors. Since the first industrial robot was manufactured in the United States in 1959, within half a century, the development of robots has experienced industrial robots, remote-controlled robots, intelligent robots and bionic robots. four stages. A humanoid robot must have two arms similar to the upper limbs of a human, and have two or more fingers at the end of the arms. This not only meets the general robot operation requirements, but also enables coordinated control of both arms and finger control to achieve more complex operations. Humanoid robots are currently widely used in military, medical and service fields. They can not only replace humans to complete dangerous tasks,...
