Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, and in particular to a multi-fingered dexterous hand of an underactuated-full actuated dual-mode robot. Background Art

[0002] Whether it is a robotic arm or a humanoid robot, an end effector is required to interact with the outside world to complete various tasks. Common end effectors include two-finger parallel grippers, welding torches, grinding heads, etc. However, most of these end effectors are designed for specific tasks and cannot complete various complex tasks in different scenarios such as industrial automation, home service, and special tasks.

[0003] The human hand has 21 degrees of freedom, including 5 for the thumb and 4 for each of the four front fingers from the index finger to the little finger. Taking the four front fingers as an example, from near to far, the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) has two degrees of freedom of flexion / extension and adduction / abduction, and the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) and the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) each have one degree of freedom of flexion / extension; the numerous degrees of freedom endow the human hand with powerful operating capabilities.

[0004] A dexterous hand is a general-purpose robot end effector designed to imitate the human hand in terms of appearance, structure, and function. Currently, common dexterous hands are either underactuated hands, that is, hands with the number of actuators less than the number of degrees of freedom; or fully actuated hands, that is, hands with the number of actuators equal to the number of degrees of freedom. The advantages of underactuated hands are simple structure and control, shape self-adaptability when grasping objects, and can be made light, small, and low-cost in terms of weight and volume; the disadvantages are weak functionality and difficulty in adapting to complex tasks such as dexterous operation. The advantages of fully actuated hands are powerful functions, and each joint can be actively controlled, and theoretically can imitate all the actions of the human hand; the disadvantages are that they are slightly bulky and large in terms of weight and volume compared to underactuated hands, with complex control and high cost. Underactuated dexterous hands and fully actuated dexterous hands are respectively suitable for different tasks, and there is no clear distinction between advantages and disadvantages; currently, there is no dexterous hand that can incorporate both of these modes, allowing users or robots to autonomously select the working mode according to the task.

[0119] The second tendon rope pulley 1232 is connected to the MCP joint main shaft 126 and is paired with the first tendon rope pulley 1138. It can be understood that the tendon rope starts from the second tendon rope pulley 1232 and forms a closed loop with the lower first tendon rope pulley 1138.

[0120] The side swing rocker 125 is fixed on the bow-shaped rod 121 and can rotate around the MCP joint main shaft 126 together with the bow-shaped rod 121.

During the movement, the side swing rocker 125 and the rocker 1148 are always parallel, and the side swing link 1149 is always parallel to the central connection line of the side swing rocker 125 and the rocker 1148. It can be understood that this parallelogram mechanism can convert the movement of the second driver 1141 into the rotational movement of the bow-shaped rod 121 around the MCP joint main shaft 126, that is, the adduction / abduction movement of the MCP joint.

[0130] The fourth worm 1336 is fixed on the first large bevel gear 1335 and rotates with the first large bevel gear 1335.

[0131] The fourth worm 1336 is connected to the fourth worm shaft 1338 and meshed with the fourth worm gear 1337 to form a worm and worm gear pair.

[0132] It can be understood that torque is transmitted from the first large bevel gear 1335 to the fourth worm gear 1337 through the fourth worm 1336. Due to the high reduction ratio of the worm and worm gear mechanism, the torque output by the fourth worm gear 1337 is amplified compared to the original torque output by the fourth driver 1331.

[0137] The second movable face gear 1343 is connected to the second ball bushing 1345 and is also connected to the fourth worm gear 1337. The fourth worm gear 1337 is provided with a spline sliding groove. The second movable face gear 1343 can rotate with the fourth worm gear 1337 and can also reciprocate linearly along the axial direction of the PIP joint shaft 138. The second ball bushing 1345 can reduce the friction when the second movable face gear 1343 makes a linear motion.

[0138] The second ball bushing 1345 is connected to the PIP joint shaft 138.

[0139] The second movable face gear 1343 is connected to the second fork 1342. The second fork 1342 drives the second movable face gear 1343 to make a reciprocating linear motion along the spline sliding groove, so that the second movable face gear 1343 can be engaged with or separated from the second fixed face gear 1344.

[0140] The second fixed face gear 1344 is connected to the PIP joint shaft 138 and fixed on the middle phalanx 141. When the second movable face gear 1343 can be engaged with the second fixed face gear 1344, the rotation of the fourth driver 1331 can achieve the rotation of the middle phalanx 141.

[0141] The third angle sensor 135 and the fifth tendon pulley 136 are connected to the PIP joint shaft 138. The third angle sensor 135 can indicate the angle of rotation of the middle phalanx 141 relative to the proximal phalanx 132, that is, the PIP joint angle.

[0147] The second gear 1422 is fixed on the fifth driver 1421 and rotates with the outer rotor to transmit torque.

[0150] It can be understood that the torque is transmitted from the second large bevel gear 1425 to the fifth worm gear 1427 through the fifth worm 1426. Due to the high reduction ratio of the worm and worm gear mechanism, the torque output by the fifth worm gear 1427 is amplified compared with the original torque output by the fifth driver 1421.

[0151] In one embodiment, the third face gear clutch assembly 143 includes a third micro driver 1431, a third fork 1432, a third movable face gear 1433, a third fixed face gear 1434, and a third ball bushing 1435.

[0152] The third micro driver 1431 is fixed on the middle phalanx 141.

[0153] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third micro driver 1431 can be a micro slide table stepping motor.

[0154] The third fork 1432 is fixed on the slide table of the third micro driver 1431 and can move back and forth linearly along the lead screw axis together with the slide table.

[0155] The third movable face gear 1433 is connected to the DIP joint shaft 147 and is connected to the fifth worm gear 1427. A spline sliding groove is formed on the fifth worm gear 1427, and the third movable face gear 1433 can rotate together with the fifth worm gear 1427.

[0156] The third movable face gear 1433 is connected to the third fork 1432, and the third fork 1432 drives the third movable face gear 1433 to move back and forth linearly along the spline sliding groove, so that the third movable face gear 1433 can mesh with or disengage from the third fixed face gear 1434.

[0157] The third fixed face gear 1434 is connected to the DIP joint shaft 147 and is fixed on the distal phalanx 151 and can move together with the distal phalanx 151.

[0158] The fourth angle sensor 144 is connected to the DIP joint axis 147 and can indicate the angle of rotation of the distal phalanx 151 relative to the middle phalanx 141, that is, the DIP joint angle of the finger.

[0159] Referring to Figure 9 , the distal phalanx 15 includes a distal phalanx 151, a sensor base 152, a fingertip force sensor 153, and a third tendon rope tube 154.

[0160] The distal phalanx 151 is connected to the DIP joint axis 147.

[0161] The fingertip force sensor 153 is fixed on the sensor base 152, and the purpose of setting this fingertip force sensor is to enable the dexterous hand to sense the magnitude of the grasping force.

[0162] Both the sensor base 152 and the third tendon rope tube 154 are fixed on the distal phalanx 151.

[0163] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , the palm 5 includes a palm U-shaped plate 51, a palm side protection shell 52, a dorsal hand shell 53, a palm side shell 54, and a palm side protection shell 55.

[0165] The palm side protection shell 52, dorsal hand shell 53, palm side shell 54, and palm side protection shell 55 are all fixedly connected to the palm U-shaped plate 51, and the specific connection method is bonding. The purpose of setting the above-mentioned shells or protection shells is to decorate or protect the circuit board.

[0166] Referring to Figure 10 , according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the dexterous hand works in an underactuated mode. The first micro driver 1221, the second micro driver 1341, and the third micro driver 1431 all move to the left extreme position, and the first fork 1222, the second fork 1342, and the third fork 1432 respectively drive the first movable face gear 1223, the second movable face gear 1343, and the third movable face gear 1433 to perform linear motion, so as to separate from the first fixed face gear 1224, the second fixed face gear 1344, and the third fixed face gear 1434 respectively. In this case, the torques output by the third driver 1151, the fourth driver 1331, and the fifth driver 1421 cannot drive the joints to bend / extend. The distal end of the finger bending tendon rope B is fixed on the distal phalanx 151, and sequentially passes through the third tendon rope tube 154, the second tendon rope tube 148, and the first tendon rope tube 139 to reach the finger base joint 12. At the finger base joint 12, the bending tendon rope B is in Figure 10Wrap around the third tendon pulley 1231 for a quarter turn in the manner shown and reverse the direction through the corner bushing 1233. After the second tendon pulley 1232 wraps around three - quarters of a turn, it reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. The distal end of the extension tendon E is fixed to the distal phalanx 151, and in the Figure 10 manner shown, it successively passes around the seventh tendon pulley 145, the sixth tendon pulley 146, the fifth tendon pulley 136, the fourth tendon pulley 137, and the third tendon pulley 1231 to reach the finger base joint 12. At the finger base joint 12, the extension tendon E wraps around the third tendon pulley 1231 for approximately three - quarters of a turn in the Figure 10 manner shown and reverses the direction through the corner bushing 1233. After the second tendon pulley 1232 wraps around approximately one - quarter of a turn, it reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. At the first tendon pulley 1138, the bending tendon B and the extension tendon E merge (the bending tendon B and the extension tendon E cannot be on the same side of the first tendon pulley 1138). It can be understood that the first actuator 1131 indirectly drives the first tendon pulley 1138 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing under - actuated bending or extension of the finger.

[0167] Referring to Figure 11 , according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the dexterous hand operates in the full - drive mode. The first micro - actuator 1221, the second micro - actuator 1341, and the third micro - actuator 1431 all move to the right extreme position. The first fork 1222, the second fork 1342, and the third fork 1432 respectively drive the first movable face gear 1223, the second movable face gear 1343, and the third movable face gear 1433 to perform linear motion, thereby meshing with the first fixed face gear 1224, the second fixed face gear 1344, and the third fixed face gear 1434 respectively. In this case, the third actuator 1151, the fourth actuator 1331, and the fifth actuator 1421 can output torque through gears, worms, worm wheels, and face gears to drive the joint to bend / extend.

[0168] Referring to Figure 12, further explain the working principle of the present invention to achieve switching between dual modes. Taking the second face gear clutch assembly 134 as an example, the relative distance between the second fixed face gear 1344 and the fourth worm gear 1337 in the axial direction remains unchanged. Both the second movable face gear 1343 and the second fixed face gear 1344 are distributed with teeth and tooth grooves. Further, the second movable face gear 1343 is distributed with a spline shaft. The fourth worm gear 1337 is provided with a spline groove, which can not only drive the second movable face gear 1343 to rotate, but also allow the second movable face gear 1343 to slide linearly along the groove. The second fork 1342 can be engaged with the flange on the second movable face gear 1343, thereby driving the second movable face gear 1343 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the axial direction. In the full drive mode, the second fork 1342 drives the second movable face gear 1343 to engage with the second fixed face gear 1344, and the torque can be output from the fourth driver 1421, transmitted to the second fixed face gear 1344 through the fourth worm gear 1337, and further drive the joint to move; in the underdrive mode, the second fork 1342 drives the second movable face gear 1343 to separate from the second fixed face gear 1344, and the joint movement is only realized by driving the tendon rope movement by the first driver 1131.

[0169] Refer to Figure 13 , further explain the superiority of the finger base joint of the present invention in terms of dual-mode motion compatibility. To achieve underdrive, it is necessary to have the bending tendon rope B, the extending tendon rope E, the third tendon rope pulley 1231, the corner shaft sleeve 1233, the second tendon rope pulley 1232, and the first tendon rope pulley 1138. Due to the presence of bearings in the tendon rope pulleys, the movement of the joint in the full drive mode will not overly affect the displacement of the tendon ropes. To achieve the movement of two degrees of freedom, namely adduction / abduction and bending / extension, of the finger base joint in the full drive mode, it is necessary to have the second drive assembly 114, the third drive assembly 115, the bow-shaped rod 121, the side swing rocker 125, and the gantry rod 131. Similarly, in the underdrive mode, due to the presence of bearings in each gear, tendon rope pulley, and worm gear, the displacement of the tendon ropes will not overly affect the movement of the gear train. In summary, the finger base joint has superiority in terms of dual-mode motion compatibility, reducing the control complexity.

[0170] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the design concept and characteristics of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made according to the principles and design concepts disclosed by the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
