Bionic elephant trunk mechanism, sensing and arresting device for carrier-based aircraft, and method of use thereof

Abstract

The invention proposes a bionic elephant trunk mechanism, a sensing arresting device for carrier-based aircraft and a method for using the same. The elephant trunk structure has the ability to bend flexibly, including N joint parts that are sequentially hinged through the auxiliary folding plate assembly. Each joint part is respectively provided with a through hole for the retractable drive mechanism to pass through, and the hole wall of the through hole is fixed. One support piece, each support piece is fixedly connected with the symmetrical axis hinge of the retractable drive mechanism in sequence; the retractable drive mechanism includes two symmetrical and hinged two sets of retractable drive assemblies, and the tail ends of the two sets of retractable drive assemblies are hinged The actuating mechanism retracts to drive the retractable drive assembly to flip around the symmetric axis unit, and under the action of tension, the retractable drive drives the outer skeleton mechanism to realize inward rolling and unfolding. In the present invention, the retraction and retraction of the arresting device is realized through a single actuating mechanism, and the structure is simple and the reliability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bionic equipment, and in particular relates to a bionic trunk mechanism, a sensing arresting device for an aircraft carrier and a method for using the same. Background technique [0002] The bionic elephant trunk robot refers to a robot that can imitate the external shape, movement principle and behavior mode of an elephant trunk in nature, and can work as flexibly as an elephant trunk, with high movement flexibility. At present, bionic trunk robots are mostly super-redundant or continuous robots that are driven by airbags, ropes, artificial muscles, or shape memory alloys. Among them, the extra degrees of freedom can be used to improve the motion and dynamic characteristics of the robot, such as increasing flexibility, avoiding obstacles, avoiding singularities, optimizing joint speed, etc., thereby improving the flexibility and flexibility of the robot. [0003] In 2011, the German company Festo develo...
