Multifunctional and flexible manipulator

Abstract

The invention discloses a multifunctional and flexible manipulator. The multifunctional and flexible manipulator comprises at least one group of three-cavity conjoined flexible arms, the three-cavityconjoined flexible arms are composed of three hosepipes and three independent flexible tongs, inner cavities of the flexible tongs are of hollow structures, one ends of the hosepipes are connected with the corresponding inner cavities of the flexible tongs, and first driving devices used for supplying air to the hosepipes are connected to the other ends of the hosepipes. According to the multifunctional and flexible manipulator, air inflation with different levels are carried out on the corresponding hosepipes through the first driving devices, bending deformation of the flexible tongs of thethree-cavity conjoined flexible arms is realized, a joint bent flexible arm similar to human hands can be formed, air deflation/air exhaust with the different levels are carried out on the corresponding hosepipes through the first driving devices, and the flexible tongs can recover to an initial position. By arranging the multiple groups of three-cavity conjoined flexible arms to complete grabbingand releasing action, lifting action, tightening/loosening and multi-direction twist, labor burdens can be reduced and the production efficiency can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of intelligent robots, in particular to a multifunctional flexible manipulator. Background technique [0002] In production and life, it is often necessary to use robotic arms and mechanical grippers to grab objects quickly and conveniently. However, most of the robotic arm grippers currently on the market are made of rigid or flexible materials. Although the rigid mechanical gripper technology has reached maturity, its shortcomings are also obvious. Because it is driven by joints, the degree of freedom of the work is low and only part of the work can be completed. There are still quite a few special environment tasks that cannot be completed, and still need to be completed manually, which is relatively inefficient; although the manipulator with flexible fingers can also Improve the operation very well, but in the prior art, the driving device drives a single flexible gripper, so as to realize the free rotation of a ...
