A Humanoid Cervical Spine System Based on Pneumatic Muscles

Abstract

The invention discloses a humanoid cervical vertebra system based on a pneumatic muscle. The pneumatic muscle is used for simulating a muscle of a cervical vertebra of a human body so as to drive a neck and a head to move. The system comprises multiple ribs, multiple vertebras, a skull, multiple musculus longus colli, musculus longus capitis, splenius capitis, semispinalis capitis, a rectus capitis posterior major muscle, an inferior oblique muscle, a rectus capitis posterior minor muscle, a rotator muscle, a neck multifidus muscle, a splenius cervicis muscle, a scalene muscle and a pneumaticmuscle connecting plate. Two ends of the muscles such as the musculus longus colli, the musculus longus capitis, the splenius capitis, the semispinalis capitis, the rectus capitis posterior major muscle, the inferior oblique muscle and the rectus capitis posterior minor muscle are connected with the pneumatic muscle connecting plate and the skull, so that the neck and the head are driven to bend,stretch, retract, extend and turn; and two ends of the rotator muscle, the neck multifidus muscle, the splenius cervicis muscle, the scalene muscle, the splenius capitis and the rotator muscle are connected with the ribs and the pneumatic muscle connecting plate, so that the neck and a chest are driven to bend, stretch, retract, extend and turn. The system is driven by the pneumatic muscle so as to be compact in structure, clean, good in anti-explosion performance, and capable of being applied to the fields such as teaching, demonstrating and medical diagnosing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bionic robots, and relates to a humanoid cervical spine system based on pneumatic muscles. Background technique [0002] The human cervical spine has strong pressure-bearing, shock-absorbing, and bending capabilities. At the same time, as people work in one posture for a long time, such as working in front of a computer for a long time, it will lead to diseases of the cervical spine. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cervical spine. The structure and composition provide a scientific basis for reducing disease and strengthening physical exercise in this area. In order to simulate the human cervical spine, and to achieve head-up, head-down, left and right lateral flexion, head rotation and other actions. Chinese patent 201310123840.2 proposes a humanoid neck mechanism in which three springs are evenly distributed, but it is still not possible to compare the actual distribution of the simulated h...
