Problems solved by technology

[0002] Most of the existing bionic joints are designed with hardware structures such as bearings, springs, and connecting rods. The structures are complex, and most of them need to be used in conjunction with external control equipment, which is poorly compatible with human body structures.
Even in the field of clinical medicine, although there are bionic structures compatible with the human body such as artificial bones, various types of intracavitary stents, thrombus filters, embolizers, etc., such structures are generally relatively simple, such as artificial bones, which can only bionic single Segmental bones cannot be bionically connected to multiple bones that can be bent, and most bionic structures are deformed by receiving external stimuli. Therefore, certain environmental conditions need to be set outside the bionic structure, which greatly limits the application range and development of bionic structures. It is an internal heating stimulus, and it can only stimulate deformation at a single point and cannot achieve multi-segment fixed-point deformation. The existing design cannot meet the requirements of multi-segment deformation, especially in the field of bionic joints. For example, bionic fingers are often multi-joint structures and require internal active control. Therefore, based on the above problems, it is urgent to design a bionic joint that can actively control multi-segment deformation from the inside

Embodiment

[0041] The embodiment of the present disclosure is the bionic of the elbow joint of the arm. Since the elbow joint is a straight section connected to a curved section and then connected to a straight section, a set of heating section, deformation section and cooling section can be used. The length of the heating section is the length of the forearm of the arm, and the length of the cooling section is the length of the forearm of the arm. The internal fluid is water, and the material of the deformation section is NiTi shape memory alloy. Since the phase transition temperature of NiTi shape memory alloy varies greatly with the composition ratio and process parameters, the deformation critical temperature of the material is taken as 80°C (specifically The value is determined by the composition ratio and process parameters). Comprehensively consider the influence of the pipe diameter on the unit temperature rise and the initial water temperature, for example, the pipe diameter is ...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the structural bionics related technology field, and discloses a deformation-controllable bionic joint based on a friction effect, and a preparation method and application ofthe deformation-controllable bionic joint. The bionic joint comprises at least one group of temperature rise segments, deformation segments and cooling segments, wherein the temperature rise segments,the deformation segments and the cooling segments are in through connection in sequence; the material of each deformation segment is shape memory alloy; the inner wall of each temperature rise segment is made of thermal insulation materials; the material of each cooling segment is a heat conduction material; and when a fluid flows through each temperature rise segment, due to a friction effect, the temperature rises to the deformation temperature of each deformation segment to enable each deformation segment to deform when the fluid flows through each deformation segment, and the fluid whichflows out of each deformation segment is subjected to heat dissipation and cooling through each cooling segment. By use of the deformation-controllable bionic joint disclosed by the invention, a deformation requirement of multiple deformation segments in a bionic structure is realized, and the bionic structure can be actively controlled.
