[0039] N second control valves 3 are mounted on the second valve plate 10 along the Y-axis. Each second control valve 3 has a second port A, a second port P, and a second port B. The second port A is connected to the fourth air hole 1001 in a one-to-one correspondence, the second port P is connected to the fifth air hole 1002 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second port B is connected to the sixth air hole 1003 in a one-to-one correspondence.

The piston portion 401 divides the mounting hole 101 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity, and the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the piston portion 401 have the same area, ensuring that in both the upper cavity and the lower cavity are not ventilated and both are ventilated, the forces acting on the two ends of the actuator 4 are consistent, so that the actuator 4 under this condition is in a stationary state.

[0042] See Figure 3 The lower end of the actuator 4 passes through the lower cover 5 and the bottom plate 13 and can be used as the output terminal. Each actuator 4 is fitted with a sealing ring 14, which is compressed and positioned between the lower cover 5 and the bottom plate 13 to effectively prevent gas leakage between the actuator 4 and the bottom plate 13.

[0043] In addition, the present invention has sealing gaskets installed between the lower cover plate 5, the upper cover plate 6, the first valve plate 7, the second valve plate 10 and the mounting plate 1, and the sealing gaskets are respectively provided with through holes corresponding to the channel openings on the corresponding sides of the mounting plate 1, which not only prevents air leakage, but also ensures that the air paths of each channel are independent and not connected.

[0046] When a certain node position such as the piston rod at coordinate (i, j) needs to move, control the Mth i The first control valve 2 loses power, and the first P port of the first control valve 2 is connected to the first A port, so that the outside air is connected to the M in sequence through the first exhaust joint 8, a corresponding first air hole 701, the first A port of the first control valve 2, the first P port of the first control valve 2, a corresponding second air hole 702, a corresponding first gas channel 102, and a corresponding first groove 501. i At the same time, control the Nth j The second control valve 3 is energized, and the second P port of the second control valve 3 is connected to the second B port, so that the compressed gas sequentially passes through the second vent connector 12, a corresponding sixth air hole 1003, the second B port of the second control valve 3, the second P port of the second control valve 3, a corresponding fifth air hole 1002, a corresponding second air channel 103, and a corresponding second groove 601 into the N j The upper cavity of all the mounting holes 101 in a row.

[0047] Through the above M i The first control valve 2 and the Nth j The action of the second control valve 3, the actuator 4 located at the coordinate (i, j) will move downward under the action of the compressed gas, and the actuator 4 at the coordinate Mi The actuators 4 in the rest of the mounting holes 101 on the same row remain in their original state and do not move because no compressed gas is introduced into their upper and lower sides. j The actuators 4 in the remaining mounting holes 101 in the row also maintain their original state and do not move because compressed gas is introduced into the upper and lower sides thereof.

[0048] It can be seen that the present invention utilizes a combination control valve to realize the pneumatic control device of multiple actuators, and realizes the independent control of M·N actuators 4 by combining M+N control valves, which greatly reduces the number of control valves used, thereby significantly reducing the cost of use; the overall structure adopts a modular design, which saves a lot of space and reduces the volume, and can realize a smaller spatial layout while meeting the control conditions, which is beneficial for use in some occasions with a large number of actuators 4 and high space requirements; each actuator 4 of the pneumatic control device is distributed at the intersection nodes of rows and columns in an array manner, which can realize a layout of any number M·N, and can be independently controlled by combined signals, with strong scalability to meet different usage requirements; the control of the present invention is simple and reliable, and only different combination instructions need to be sent to the standard pneumatic control valve to complete the control of the actuator 4 at the specified position; in addition, the pneumatic control device of the present invention has the characteristics of fast response, high speed, and stability and reliability, and is particularly suitable for replacing a small standard three-axis mechanism to realize fixed-position grasping and lifting actions.
