Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bionic machinery, and in particular to an underwater humanoid dexterous hand. Background Art

[0002] In underwater environments, underwater robots are often used to complete underwater operations. The underwater robot has a robotic arm with an end effector installed at the end of the robotic arm. The robotic arm is responsible for the movement of the end effector underwater to ensure that the end effector reaches the target position.

[0003] The end effector is responsible for completing specific underwater work. There are many kinds of underwater work, and the end effector will be different depending on the underwater task, such as welding, drilling, cleaning, maintenance, object grasping, biological sampling, etc. According to the manufacturing material, it can be divided into rigid and flexible types. Rigid underwater grippers are the most widely used mainstream end effectors in the current underwater robot field. For rigid underwater grippers, they can only make opening and closing movements through single-degree-of-freedom rigid clamp-type grippers to complete the grasping of objects. This makes it difficult for such rigid underwater grippers to achieve non-destructive grasping of objects, and it is difficult to complete the salvage of fragile objects and non-destructive sampling of aquatic organisms. At the same time, due to the simple structure of the clamp, The hardness is large, so it is difficult to complete stable grasping of special-shaped or irregular objects according to the shape of the object; flexible underwater grippers are rarely used at present, because in the design process, it is necessary to consider the balance between the deformation ability of the soft material and the driving force. Too much soft material and too large thickness will lead to insufficient deformation ability of the gripper, insufficient grasping force, and inability to complete the grasping action. If the driving pressure is too high, the soft material will rupture under the pressure. Therefore, how to balance the grasping force of the gripper and the deformation ability of the soft fingers has always been a problem. Finally, due to the continuity of the flexible material itself, each finger of the flexible gripper has infinite degrees of freedom, which makes it impossible to control the gripper in a short time.

[0004] The existing underwater anthropomorphic dexterous hands are divided into two types: rigid joints and flexible joints, each with its own shortcomings. Currently, the driving force of underwater anthropomorphic dexterous hands usually comes from motors, but the sealing, pressure resistance and transmission force of motors are not suitable for underwater environments. The existing methods are to seal the motor in a pressure-resistant cavity, fill it with pressurized oil to maintain the pressure, make a dynamic seal on the output shaft of the motor, use gears or other transmission parts to transmit power, and use waterproof motors for driving. However, these solutions are not suitable for deep water areas and cannot withstand high water pressure. Summary of the invention
