preparation example Construction

[0048] A 3D printing preparation method for a soft gripper with ejection and grasping functions, comprising the following steps:

[0049] (1) Use 3D printing to prepare a mold including clamping parts and motion control parts;

[0050] (2) Fix the support rods, blocking parts and magnetic blocks in the mold, pour silicone rubber (ecoflex) into the mold, bake the mold at 40°C-60°C for 5h-7h, and then place it at room temperature for 5h-7h , get the clamping part and the motion control part;

[0051] (3) The electromagnetic coil is wound around the motion control part, and the grasping part is installed on one end of the clamping part to obtain a soft gripper.

[0052]When the material of the clamping part is photocurable resin, a mold containing the clamping part and the motion control part is prepared by using photosensitive resin selective curing (StereoLithography Apparatus).

[0053] When the material of the clamping part is nylon, a mold containing the clamping part and ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a software gripper with catapulting and grabbing functions and a 3D printing preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of software grippers. The software gripper with the catapulting and grabbing functions comprises a grabbing part, a clamping part, an electromagnet coil and a motion control part, one end of the clamping part is connected with the grabbing part,the other end of the clamping part is connected with the motion control part, and the electromagnet coil winds on the periphery of the motion control part; the shape of the grabbing part is a C shape,and the grabbing part is used for grabbing a target; the electromagnet coil is used for generating pushing force on the motion control part during energized; and the motion control part is used for driving the grabbing part to move through the clamping part, and catapulting and pullback motion are realized. The software gripper with the catapulting and grabbing functions realizes the process of rapid catapulting-grabbing-pullback, and has the advantages of high response speed, high grabbing speed, low cost, compact structure, small energy consumption and being capable of automatic response.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of soft grippers, and more specifically relates to a soft gripper with ejection and grabbing functions and a 3D printing preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Soft grippers belong to the field of soft robots. They are mainly made of soft materials, which are generally considered to be materials with a Young’s modulus lower than that of human muscles. Compared with traditional rigid grippers, soft grippers have better deformation, flexibility and grip It has great advantages in the range of objects, can adapt to various unstructured environments, and interacts with humans more safely. At present, it is mainly driven by electric field, pressure, magnetic field, chemical reaction, light, temperature, etc. [0003] Flexible electromagnetic materials are usually a composite material system composed of three (polymer / electric / magnetic) or more than three materials. This type of material can sense enviro...
