Abstract

The invention discloses a wire blocking structure and its application that utilizes frictional coupling between thin wires to realize rigidity changes. The frictional coupling between nylon filaments is used to realize rigidity changes, that is, the vacuum pressure acts on the nylon filaments, and by changing the nylon filaments The friction between the materials increases the rigidity of the structure. The thread blocking structure is composed of a flexible sealing film sleeve and numerous nylon thin wires with high toughness filled inside; under normal conditions, the friction between the thin lines is very small, and the thread blocking structure has a very high rigidity. Low, the nylon filaments are easily deformed under the action of external force; the vacuum is drawn into the flexible sealing film sleeve, the nylon filaments are tightly adsorbed together under the action of air pressure, and the nylon filaments show great friction. Resist the relative sliding between nylon filaments, and it is difficult for nylon filaments to deform under the action of external force. The thread blocking structure shows high rigidity, and can cooperate with torsional, bending and telescopic soft actuators to realize torsional, bending and telescopic movements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots, and more specifically relates to a wire blocking structure and an application thereof which utilizes frictional coupling between thin wires to realize stiffness changes. Background technique [0002] At present, traditional soft actuators are divided into three categories: bending soft actuators, telescopic soft actuators, and torsional soft actuators. The bending actuators can achieve different types of bending by controlling the number of chambers. For example, a single-chamber bending actuator can realize one-way bending. Function, the three-cavity bending driver can realize the omnidirectional bending function; the telescopic driver can realize the telescopic function; the torsion driver can realize the torsion function. However, the existing software actuators generally adopt the form of pneumatic drive, which is affected by the manufacturing materials, has low rigidity and low stability...
