Abstract

The present invention discloses a pneumatically driven micro-gripper, comprising: a base; an airbag mechanism, the airbag mechanism is arranged on the base and is connected with the base, the airbag mechanism comprises at least one airbag; a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism comprises two clamping arms relatively arranged on the base, the airbag mechanism is located between the two clamping arms, the two clamping arms are respectively connected to the two opposite outer side walls of the airbag mechanism, and when the airbag mechanism is inflated or deflated, the airbag mechanism drives the two clamping arms to open or close. The pneumatically driven micro-gripper of the present invention utilizes high-precision micro-nano 3D printing technology, and adopts pneumatic expansion of the airbag to drive the clamping arms connected to both sides of the airbag to open, and has the advantages of simple, compact and miniaturized structure, large output force, high power density, large opening and closing amount, and the opening and closing amount resolution can reach sub-micron; it adopts pneumatic drive, has good applicability to biological environments and can be used in liquid environments, realizing fine operation of biological microstructures.
