Abstract

The invention relates to a soft robot with adaptive channel size, which solves the technical problem of how to develop a soft robot suitable for slender pipes and small spaces with strong flexibility, high compliance, and high degree of freedom of movement, which includes the first A driving device, a second driving device, a first support plate, a second support plate, a first tensioning assembly, a second tensioning assembly, a spring, a third circular shaft and a cylindrical air bag, the spring is connected to the first support plate , between the second support plates, the cylindrical airbag is set on the first driving device and the second driving device, the outer surface of the cylindrical airbag is connected with teeth, and the first driving device and the second driving device transmit the force to the cylindrical airbag respectively teeth on the outer surface. The invention has ingenious structure, strong flexibility, high flexibility and high degree of freedom of movement. The volume can be small to apply to slender pipes or small spaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline robots, in particular to a soft robot capable of adapting to the size of a channel. Background technique [0002] The pipeline robot carries a variety of sensors and operating machinery. Under the remote control operation of the staff or the automatic control of the computer, it automatically walks inside the small pipeline for detection or operation. At present, there are two main types of pipeline robots: rigid robots and soft robots. For soft robots, you can refer to the utility model patent No. A utility model patent for a pneumatic bionic soft pipeline robot. For rigid robots, you can refer to the utility model patent No. 202011063400.9, named pipeline robot and pipeline inspection equipment. [0003] The relatively bulky mechanical body of rigid robots limits their access to slender pipes and tiny spaces; soft robots have good application prospects in slender pipes and tiny spaces due to ...
