Problems solved by technology

For now, although the adhesion strength of some materials has reached or even surpassed that of gecko bristles, a large pressing force is required to achieve high adhesion; High cost, complicated mechanical control, and high requirements on system performance
The current adhesive sucker structure generally controls adhesion through force, and its use effect and device controllability are far from enough compared with biological organs
The sliding wall-climbing robot sealing skirt can better fill the gap between the suction cup and the wall surface, so that a vacuum environment is formed in the suction cup cavity, and it has certain adaptability t

Example Embodiment

[0043] Example 1

[0044] The invention relates to an intelligent structure device, in particular to a magnetic control negative pressure enhanced adhesion device imitating an octopus suction cup, which can be mainly divided into two parts: an adhesion suction cup and a regulating electromagnet. The adhesion suction cup is used to realize the flexibility of the contact surface Contact, and intelligent control of adhesion and desorption, the adhesive suction cup is composed of the outer pad 1 of the suction cup and the inner cavity 2 of the suction cup. The shape of the pad 1 and the inner cavity 2 of the adhesive suction cup is made by imitating the design and manufacture of the octopus suction cup. The magnetic response controllable adhesion of magnetic response materials and the large deformation characteristics of magnetic response, that is, in the external magnetic field environment, the adhesion properties of the magnetic response material itself can change, and at the sa...

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the thickness of the adhesive suction cup in this embodiment is 6 mm, and the radius is 40 mm.

[0065] The design scheme of the imitation octopus sucker of the adhesive sucker chooses to nest a plurality of inner cavities 2 of the adhesive sucker with different deformation effects in the middle of the outer pad 1 of the adhesive sucker. From the outside to the inside, the negative pressure deformation capacity is gradually enhanced: The outer diameter is 40mm and the inner diameter is 30mm. The inner cavity 2 of the adhesive suction cup is divided into two parts. The innermost part of the cavity has the best deformation effect, and the radius is 20mm. figure 2 (b).

[0066] There is a cylindrical cavity of 14 mm in the middle of the connecting ring 5 , which is used as a deformation domain regulator 14 for adhering the inner cavity 2 of the suction cup.

[0071] Embodiment 3

[0072] The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiments is that the thickness of the adhesive suction cup in this embodiment is 8mm and the radius is 60mm.

[0073] The design scheme of the imitation octopus sucker of the adhesive sucker is to choose 2n+1 inner cavities of the adhesive sucker evenly distributed in the middle of the outer pad of the adhesive sucker and the outer ring, and the inner cavities of the adhesive sucker in the outer ring are spaced 360 / 2n from each other, and the middle of the adhesive sucker. The distances between the cavities of the suction cups are equal, and n is 3: there are 7 suction cup cavities 2 with a radius of 18mm in the suction cup, one suction cup cavity 2 in the center of the circle, and the remaining 6 suction cup cavities 2 are located in the middle. The edges of the inner cavity 2 of the adhesive suction cup and the outer pad of the adhesive suction cup 1 are both 3mm and evenly distributed at in...

Abstract

The invention request to protect a magnetic control negative pressure enhanced adhesion device capable of imitating an octopus sucker, belongs to the field of intelligent devices with a bionic structure, and includes structural design, a working principle and a manufacture way. The adhesion device is mainly divided into two parts, including an adhesion sucker and a regulation and control electromagnet. In the adhesion device disclosed by the invention, magnetic response materials are adopted to design and manufacture the adhesion sucker capable of imitating the octopus sucker, the regulation and control electromagnet is integrated above the adhesion sucker, a magnetic field is controlled to drive the inner cavity of the adhesion sucker to deform so as to generate negative pressure change similar to the octopus sucker, when the adhesion sucker adheres, adhesion force with a contact surface can be enhanced, when the adhesion sucker is separated, a peeling process is accelerated, and thepressure and the adhesion performance of the outer cushion of the adhesion sucker and the contact surface can be simultaneously regulated to guarantee a sealing effect of a negative pressure cavity. The magnetic control negative pressure enhanced adhesion device disclosed by the invention is conveniently manufactured and is low in cost, meanwhile, the adhesion performance is adjustable and controllable, and the magnetic control negative pressure enhanced adhesion device is in flexible contact, has high environmental suitability, and can be used for complex environment occasions which need to realize a quick adhesion/ de-adhesion process, wherein the complex environment occasions include quick-transportation mechanical arm and foot-leg wall surface robots and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of bionic structure intelligent devices, and relates to a magnetically controlled negative pressure enhanced adhesion device imitating an octopus suction cup, which is mainly used in the functions of fast handling manipulators, wall robots with legs, etc., for handling, walking, and wall parking. Background technique [0002] In modern industry and infrastructure engineering, facilities and equipment will inevitably have problems such as friction damage, fatigue relaxation, aging and falling off, which will pose a serious threat to the safety of infrastructure and equipment, and affect the health of the facility and equipment structure in the slightest, and in severe cases. Cause damage or collapse, resulting in serious casualties and economic losses. Traditionally, inspections of facilities and equipment through manual surveys and fixed-point monitoring are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and in complex and speci...
