Abstract

The invention discloses an anisotropic dielectric elastomer fiber driver and a preparation method thereof. The driver is composed of one or more sub-fibrous driver wall surfaces which are attached to each other. Each sub-fibrous driver comprises at least two anisotropic dielectric elastomer layers and at least two flexible electrode layers, and the anisotropic dielectric elastomer layers and the flexible electrode layers are overlapped in a staggered mode and wound into a fibrous structure. According to the method, an anisotropic dielectric elastomer film with reduced thickness and microstructure orientation is prepared through a mechanical strain induction method based on a physically-crosslinked block copolymer thermoplastic elastomer, and a light and fully-flexible dielectric elastomer fiber driver outputting linear displacement in the axial direction is prepared in a laminated winding mode. Driving deformation can be output in a directional mode, the driving performance is greatly improved, meanwhile, low-pressure driving is achieved, fiber bundles are assembled, and multiple motion modes of stretching, bending and rotating are generated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automation, in particular to an anisotropic dielectric elastomer fiber driver and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of industrial automation, the importance of robots has become increasingly prominent, and accordingly, human demand for robot technology has continued to increase. Traditional robots are usually composed of rigid components such as motors, pistons, joints, and hinges. Although they have sufficient power and high power, they also have many shortcomings, such as bulky structure, low safety factor, poor environmental adaptability, and high noise. [0003] Soft robots driven by smart materials can withstand large deformation and have a high degree of freedom. They can change their shape and size arbitrarily according to actual needs. They have excellent flexibility and strong environmental adaptability. They are widely used in industrial production, medical s...
