Swallowing robot

Abstract

The invention provides a swallowing robot. The swallowing robot comprises a flexible channel and a plurality of foldable sections, wherein the plurality of foldable sections are sequentially arranged on the axial periphery of the flexible channel; and the foldable sections comprise end face mechanisms, connecting mechanisms and driving mechanisms, and the driving mechanisms can drive the connecting mechanisms to axially contract or stretch while driving the end face mechanisms to be radially closed or opened. According to the swallowing robot, synchronous stretching in the axial direction and the radial direction can be achieved, the action length of the bionic swallowing robot can be controlled by changing the number of the foldable sections, and therefore the bionic swallowing robot is used for capturing and swallowing different preys and adapts to different application scenes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bionic machinery, and in particular relates to a swallowing robot. Background technique [0002] At present, there are two main types of swallowing robots: [0003] One type uses gas or liquid to drive the deformation of flexible materials to realize swallowing actions, such as pneumatically controlling the shrinkage or expansion of the inner cavity surface of silicone rubber, or using pneumatic muscles as end-face drive parts and intermediate connectors to drive the robot to bend and stretch to imitate the swallowing process of snakes, etc.; Such robots often need to add a large number of pneumatic pipelines, and realize complex swallowing movements by controlling the air in and out of each pipeline. If there is no tightness, the robot cannot be well applied to the suburban environment. In addition, the overall length of these robots is determined at the time of design, and generally cannot be changed ...

Problems solved by technology

For example, Chinese patent CN110495301A discloses a navel orange picker of encircling and swallowing type. The swallowing mechanism utilizes a plurality of elastic ring-shaped ropes as the end structure, four elastic ropes as the middle connection, and the plastic frame as the bottom, which can realize different diameters. The collection of navel oranges; as a passive collection device, this type of robot cannot be used as an active capture mechanism, especially for some special-shaped prey.
