Embodiment Construction

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Such as Figure 1-10 As shown, a rigid-flexible coupled pneumatic muscle includes a skeleton 1 and several tracheas 2 arranged along the circumference of the skeleton 1. The skeleton 1 is composed of several shaft joints 11 that are movably connected head to tail, and the skeleton 1 and the trachea 2 are arranged at the ends of both. The cover plates 3 are closed and fixed, and one of the cover plates 3 is provided with an inflation hole 32 for inflatin...

Abstract

The invention discloses a rigid-flexible coupled pneumatic muscle. The rigid-flexible coupled pneumatic muscle comprises a framework and a plurality of air pipes arranged in the circumferential direction of the framework, wherein the framework is formed by movably connecting a plurality of shaft joints end to end, the framework and the air pipes are sealed and fixed through cover plates arranged at end portions of the framework and the air pipes, and one cover plate is provided with inflation holes used for inflating the air pipes; the shaft joints comprise end shaft joints and intermediate shaft joints, and the intermediate shaft joints comprise outer shaft joints and inner shaft joints which are sleeved with the outer shaft joints and can move in an axial direction; and the inner shaft joints of the intermediate shaft joints are movably connected with the outer shaft joints of the adjacent intermediate shaft joints, one end shaft joint is movably connected with the outer shaft joint of the adjacent intermediate shaft joint, and the other end shaft joint is movably connected with the inner shaft joint of the adjacent intermediate shaft joint. According to the rigid-flexible coupled pneumatic muscle, the rigid framework and the flexible air pipes are combined, so that not only is stable movement guaranteed, but also biological injuries are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a rigid-flexible coupled pneumatic muscle. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, human beings have made great progress in many aspects in the past few centuries. As one of the greatest inventions of human beings, robotics has made great progress in just 50 years since it came out in the early 1960s. After experiencing birth, growth, and maturity, industrial robots have become an indispensable core equipment in the manufacturing industry, and industrial robots have not only become indispensable partners for workers in factories, but are also entering the aerospace industry at an alarming speed. , military, service, entertainment and other fields of human life infiltration. The development of rigid robots can be said to be very mature. my country's industrial robot development history has been more than 20 years. Most of the cur...
