[0002] In the field of industrial robots, the more degrees of freedom a machine has, the more functions it can achieve. The degrees of freedom are generally achieved through multiple parallel mechanisms. The branches of the parallel mechanism and the moving platform form a closed loop, and the effect of the branches on the moving platform is achieved through the parallel effect of multiple branches. The load when the parallel mechanism is working will be borne by multiple branches, so the stiffness performance of the parallel mechanism is significantly better than that of the series mechanism. The parallel mechanism is driven by multiple branches in parallel, so the errors of each branch will not accumulate, and the output actuator will have higher accuracy.

[0003] The traditional six-branch six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism has the characteristics of high precision and good load-bearing performance, but this type of mechanism has too many branches, and its working space and flexibility are seriously affected. The research and development of a six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism with fewer branches has attracted widespread attention from the public; the common characteristics of the above-mentioned new three-branch six-degree-of-freedom mechanism are that, compared with the traditional six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism, its number of branches is significantly reduced and the working space is significantly increased; the reduction in the number of branches is conducive to expanding the working space of the mechanism and can be effectively applied to rehabilitation institutions, wind tunnel tests, aerospace and other fields.
