specific Embodiment approach 1

[0005] Specific embodiment one: (see Figure 1~Figure 8 ) This embodiment consists of an under-driving mechanism of the thumb and a transmission mechanism of the thumb. The under-driving mechanism of the thumb consists of a thumb fingertip sleeve 1, a lower thumb cover 2, a right thumb plate 3, a thumb upper cover 11, and a fingertip spring. 12. Thumb fingertip shaft 13, torque sensor 20, fingertip 27, thumb link 28, thumb left plate 30, thumb fingertip pin sleeve 32, thumb link pin 33, thumb fingertip link pin 37, The thumb spring stop pin 38, the ball hinge 42, and the ball hinge connecting rod pin 46 are composed. The thumb fingertip shaft 13 is set at the upper end between the thumb right plate 3 and the thumb left plate 30, and the lower end of the fingertip 27 is set on the thumb On the fingertip shaft 13, the thumb fingertip sleeve 1 is fixed on the fingertip 27, the thumb spring stop pin 38 is fixed on the inner upper end of the right thumb plate 3, the fingertip spring 12 ...

specific Embodiment approach 2

[0006] Specific implementation manner two: (see figure 1 , Picture 9 ) This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it adds a thumb elastic cover 31, one end of the thumb elastic cover 31 is fixed on the outer surface of the thumb upper cover 11, and the other end of the thumb elastic cover 31 It is frictionally connected with the outer surface of the thumb fingertip sleeve 1. The other composition and connection relationship are the same as in the first embodiment. The function of the added thumb elastic cover plate 31 is to protect the transmission mechanism inside the thumb from being exposed, prevent foreign objects from entering, and affect the service life.

[0007] Working principle: the output shaft of the motor 40 drives the thumb motor pulley 48 to rotate, drives the thumb reducer pulley 10 to rotate, the thumb reducer pulley 10 drives the wave generator shaft 54 ​​to rotate, and the wave generator shaft 54 ​​drives the harmonic gear reducer The wave ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a thumb device of little-driving self-adaptive artificial hand, which is characterized by the following: connecting one end of thumb finger-tip pin case (32) with the thumb finger-tip connecting rod pin shaft (37); fixing the thumb wheeled bearing (55) on the wave generator axle (54) under the thumb decelerator wheel (10); connecting the thumb decelerator wheel (10) with the wheeled pad (9) through the wheeled fixation pin (57); fixing the wave generator (52) of harmonic gear decelerator on the other end of the wave generator axle (54) of wheeled pad (9). The invention can display a 130 deg conical moving space in the moving course to realize the finger-pin little-driving movement, which is adaptive for the object shape to reach full-covering the object and stable grasping.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an anthropomorphic manipulator. Background technique [0002] Most of the existing prosthetic thumbs have only one direction of grasping movement. Such a thumb must be set perpendicular to the palm of the prosthetic hand. Both in appearance and function, there is a big gap between the thumb of a real human hand. For this reason, many people with disabilities who need to install a prosthetic hand are reluctant to use a prosthetic hand. According to the survey, more than half of the disabled people pay more attention to the realism of the appearance of the artificial hand than the function. It can be said that this is a big bottleneck in the design of the artificial hand. Summary of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that most of the existing prosthetic hand thumbs have only one direction of grasping movement, and to provide an under-actuated adaptive prosthetic hand thumb mechanism. T...
