Light weight flexible robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a light weight flexible robot, which comprises a control box, a flexible mechanical arm and a plurality of driving ropes, wherein each driving rope is uniformly distributed inthe circumference direction, and is fixedly connected with the flexible mechanical arm after the extending in the axial direction of the circumference; through the driving by the control box, the flexible mechanical arm is dragged to move; the control box comprises a control panel; the control panel is provided with a plurality of steps with different heights in the axial direction in a way of corresponding to each driving rope; an installing structure is arranged on each step; the height of each step is in direct proportion to the height of each driving rope; in the direction of the diameterparallel to the step on the circumference, the displacement of each installing structure relative to the located step is in direct proportion to the projection distance of the connecting line betweenthe circle center of each driving rope to the circle center of the circumference on the located step. The light weight flexible robot can realize the compact arrangement of each component in the control box; the enveloping dimension of the whole machine of the control box can be favorably reduced; the applicable scene of the robot is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a rope-driven flexible robot. Background technique [0002] At present, a large number of high-efficiency and high-precision industrial-grade robots have been widely used in the fields of electrical, chemical, and mechanical manufacturing industries. For extremely narrow and extremely dangerous working environments, such as pipe cleaning, etc. Compared with traditional manipulators, due to its inherent super-redundancy characteristics, flexible arm joints can realize the bending, telescopic, and torsion of multiple continuous parts, and their movement and operation capabilities in confined spaces are much higher than traditional multi-joints. Rigid link robot. [0003] Considering that the operating arm of the flexible robot is limited by the limit length even if it has the telescoping function, in some application scenarios, the whole machine needs to be moved to complete the execution t...
