Embodiment 1

[0060] This embodiment provides a joint unit, which uses the linear drive of the cylindrical EAP driver to realize the degree of freedom of movement of the joint unit, and uses the SMA driver to realize the degree of freedom of rotation of the joint unit, which solves the problem of using EAP drive and SMA drive in the prior art. The technical problem of the small working space of the mechanical fingers.

[0061] like Figure 5 to Figure 7 The joint unit shown contains:

[0062] a cylindrical EAP driver, the cylindrical EAP driver comprising:

[0063] The first spring 2, the first spring 2 includes a first end and a second end;

[0064] guide rod 1, the guide rod 1 and the first spring 2 are coaxially arranged;

[0065] EAP film 8, EAP film 8 is wound several layers on the first spring 2, as Image 6 As shown, a plurality of flexible conductive units 11 are disposed on the EAP film 8, and the flexible conductive unit 11 includes electrode lead wires 1104, the electrode lea...

Embodiment 2

[0093] This embodiment provides a finger-shaped device, which includes two joint units in Embodiment 1. At the connection of the joint units: the first end of the first spring of one joint unit and the second spring of the other joint unit The second end connection.

[0094] The same or different bending deformation directions of the SMA drivers of the two joint units are beneficial to increase the working space of the finger device.

Embodiment 3

[0096] This embodiment provides a gripper, comprising three joint units and palm plates in Embodiment 1, the first end of the first spring of each joint unit is rotatably connected to the palm plate, and the three joint units Evenly distributed with respect to the center of the palm plate.

[0097] When performing a grasping action, the three joint units contact the target object from different directions, and cooperate with each other to complete the grasping.

Abstract

The application discloses a joint unit, a finger device and a gripper. The cylindrical EAP driver and the SMA driver are combined through a connecting piece, and the linear drive of the cylindrical EAP driver is used to realize the freedom of movement of the joint unit, and the SMA driver is used to realize the joint The degree of freedom of rotation of the unit solves the technical problem that the working space of the mechanical fingers driven by EAP and SMA is small in the prior art, and at the same time, because the application connects the cylindrical EAP driver and the SMA driver in the form of end-to-end series , when the joint unit is used to execute the position, movement and mechanical inverse calculation of the end, the operation is simple, which is beneficial to provide a reaction speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of multi-degree-of-freedom flexible manipulators, in particular, to a joint unit, a finger device and a gripper. Background technique [0002] In recent years, while advanced drive technology has been continuously developed, many smart drive materials have been applied in the field of manufacturing new drives. According to the different power sources used, the driving technologies widely used in electromechanical systems mainly include pneumatic drive, motor\reducer drive, shape memory alloy drive (Shape Memory Alloy, SMA), piezoelectric drive and electro-deformable polymer ( electro-active polymer, EAP) driver. Among them, as a typical artificial muscle material, EAP can be used as a driver to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and can also convert mechanical energy into electrical energy for power generation or sensing. Compared with traditional electromagnetic and piezoelectric ...
