Abstract

The invention discloses an imitation snake soft-bodied rod-climbing robot and application thereof, and belongs to the field of soft-bodied robots. The imitation snake soft-bodied rod-climbing robot has the advantages of having simple structure, stable and reliable, low cost, and light weight, and can be used in high pressure inspection, nuclear power plants and other special environments. The imitation snake soft-bodied rod-climbing robot comprises a spiral winding unit and an expansion unit, the spiral winding unit comprises a first elastic bellows, a strain limiting layer, an elastic expansion layer, a fixing connector, and a first air circuit tube for connecting with an air source, the first elastic bellows is a closed tube body, the first elastic bellows is connected with the first aircircuit tube, the air source can inflate and deflate into the first elastic bellows through the first air circuit tube, and the elastic expansion layer is connected with the first elastic bellows through the fixing connector and can provide restoring force for the first elastic bellows. According to the imitation snake soft-bodied rod-climbing robot and application thereof, working is stable andreliable, the cost is low, the structure is simple, manufacturing is easy, the application value is high, the application prospect is good, and the imitation snake soft-bodied rod-climbing robot and application thereof are worthy popularizing and applying on a large scale.

Description

technical field [0001] As a multidisciplinary interdisciplinary research field, soft robotics research not only helps to reveal the scientific problems of natural organisms in materials, mechanics, morphology, and kinematics, but also promotes the development of new robot prototypes for Complete tasks that traditional rigid robots cannot achieve. Because of its continuous deformation capability with unlimited degrees of freedom, friendly human-computer interaction, good insulation, radiation resistance, low cost, and lightweight, soft robots are ideal for underwater operations, complex pipeline crawling, and high-voltage cable inspections. Inspection and other aspects have unique advantages that traditional rigid robots cannot match, which will greatly reduce the risk of personnel operating in special environments, further protect life safety, and improve economic benefits. [0002] Most of the bionic design inspirations of soft robots come from the adaptation characteristics...
