Embodiment Construction

[0051] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing this patent is described further.

[0052] see Figure 1-2 The base 100 of the first structure is a flexible hollow tubular structure made of soft silicone or other soft materials, and the base is symmetrically distributed with two cylindrical chambers, the left chamber 1 and the right chamber 2, which are symmetrical about the axis of the base, or, see image 3 , 4 , using a relatively hard soft laminate 3 to symmetrically divide the base body into a left chamber 1 and a right chamber 2 from top to bottom. Both ends of the base body are sealed, and one end of each chamber has a base body air hole for connecting with an external drive system. The inner cavity of the base body 1 can also be symmetrically distributed with a plurality of cylindrical chambers that are symmetrical about the axis of the base body, or it can be divided into multiple chambers with a plurality of laminates, and one end of each chamber has a base ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a rigidity-variable soft body mechanical hand, which consists of one or a plurality of execution units, wherein each execution unit comprises a deformation part and a rigidityregulating part; the deformation part mainly consists of a soft base body and peripheral restraint fiber; the rigidity regulating part is mainly a medium layer with a built-in rigidity regulating medium; a base body is of a flexible hollow tubular structure made of silica gel synthetic materials; two groups of inextensible fiber (wire materials) wound according to a certain angle are arranged at the outer side of the base body. The rigidity regulating part is arranged at the outer side of the base body; the rigidity regulating medium is built in the rigidity regulating part; the rigidity regulating part is subjected to vacuum pumping; the medium contact area is increased, so that the friction change is caused, and the rigidity is further changed. The soft body base body is driven by air pressure or hydraulic pressure; the rigidity regulating part is driven by using a negative pressure device; through the matching of the deformation part and the rigidity regulating part, the goal that the soft body mechanical hand realizes both the rigidity feature and softness feature is achieved; the operation efficiency is high; meanwhile, high safety during the interaction of external operationobjects and operation environment can be ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology relates to a soft robot gripper, specifically a variable stiffness soft manipulator. Background technique [0002] Since entering the 21st century, robot technology has been widely used in many fields such as military affairs, industry, and scientific detection. Traditional robots are generally composed of rigid modules connected by kinematic pairs, and each kinematic pair provides one (or more) translational degrees of freedom or rotational degrees of freedom. The motion combination of all kinematic pairs forms the working space of the robot end effector. This robot has the advantage of precise motion, but the rigidity of the structure makes it poorly adaptable to the environment, and the motion in a narrow space is limited. The soft robot imitates the molluscs in nature. It is made of soft materials that can withstand large strains. It has greater flexibility and continuous deformation capabilities. It has a strong ability to adapt ...
