Flexible robot made of composite material

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of flexible robots and particularly discloses a flexible robot made of a composite material. The flexible robot comprises uniformly arrayed unit connectors, each unit connector comprises a polymer composite corrugated pipe and connection clamping rings located at the two ends of the polymer composite corrugated pipe, the polymer composite corrugated pipes are bonded to the connection clamping rings through adhesives, every two adjacent unit connectors are connected by a cross connecting pin, and each cross connecting pin comprises an outer supporting ring; four insertion connecting pins are connected to the outer wall of each outer supporting ring at equal intervals, the connection clamping rings are clamped on the corresponding insertion connecting pins, four tracheal supporting rings are connected to the inner wall of each outer supporting ring at equal intervals, and a wire clamping ring is supported between every four corresponding tracheal supporting rings. According to the scheme, by adding a new material into equipment of the flexible robot, the new material can be used in gastroscope inspection in the medical field. Through use of the composite material, the service life of the equipment is prolonged, and the accuracy of traditional gastroscopes is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots, in particular to a soft robot made of composite materials. Background technique [0002] Soft robots are a new class of flexible robots that can be driven using only air. Scientists' latest soft robot is made of paper and silicone rubber and can bend, twist and grab objects more than 100 times its own weight. The design inspiration of soft robots is to imitate the internal structure of human beings or the external structure of insects, especially the latter. [0003] At this stage, soft robots are mainly still in the experimental stage, and are rarely used in real life. [0004] In the medical field, gastroscopy is more painful. Because it is not easy to grasp the direction of the probe, it is easy to increase the time of gastroscope tube in the human body for too long, thereby increasing the pain of the patient. Therefore, we propose a soft body made of composite materials. robot. Conte...
