The embodiments are implemented on the premise of the technical solutions of the present application, and detailed implementation modes and specific operation processes are given, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0049] In the following embodiments, if there is no special description of the function components or structures, it is indicated that they are all conventional components or conventional structures adopted in the field to realize the corresponding functions.

[0051] a palm base 1;
[0052] a finger knuckle 2, which comprises a proximal knuckle 21, a middle knuckle 22 and a distal knuckle 23 connected in sequence;
[0053] a proximal knuckle assembly 3, which comprises a proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31 rotatably mounted on the palm base 1 and a spherical bearing 32 arranged on the proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31 and matched with the proximal knuckle 21;
[0054] a bending transmission mechanism 4, which comprises a driving bevel gear 41, a driven bevel gear 42, a proximal knuckle transmission member 43 and a finger flexion shaft 44, the driven bevel gear 42 is fixedly sleeved on the proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31, the driving bevel gear 41 is mounted on the palm base 1 and engaged with the driven bevel gear 42, and the finger flexion shaft 44 is fixedly mounted on the proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31 and kept in contact with the proximal knuckle transmission member 43 fixedly connected to the proximal knuckle 21 in the bending rotation operation;
[0055] a lateral swing transmission mechanism 5, which comprises a lateral swing driving member mounted on the palm base 1 and a lateral swing transmission shaft connected with the lateral swing driving member, the lateral swing transmission shaft keeps in contact with the proximal knuckle 21 in the lateral swing operation.
[0056] In the specific operation of the application, the transmission mechanism for realizing the proximal knuckle bending function is mainly a bevel gear pair, the driving bevel gear 41 is driven to rotate by a bending motor 46, thereby driving the driven bevel gear 42 to rotate along its orthogonal plane, the driven bevel gear 42 is fixedly matched with the proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31, the proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31 is fixedly matched with the finger flexion shaft 44, and then the power transmitted by the driven bevel gear 42 is transmitted to the finger flexion shaft 44 through the proximal knuckle rotating shaft 31, thereby realizing the forward and backward bending action of the proximal knuckle. In addition, the lateral swing action is realized as follows: the lateral swing driving member (such as a lateral swing motor 51) is fixed on the palm base 1, the rotation of the output shaft of the lateral swing motor 51 is transmitted to the lateral swing transmission shaft, the lateral swing transmission shaft can be regarded as a horizontal arm rotating around the output shaft of the lateral swing motor 51 and outputting a corresponding torque, thereby driving the proximal knuckle 21 in contact with the lateral swing transmission shaft to swing and rotate, and the shaft thereby drives the whole finger to swing left and right. The core of the mechanism of the application is the spherical bearing 32, which can not only satisfy the degree of freedom requirement of the forward and backward bending, but also realize the stroke requirement of the left and right swinging under the driving of the motor by relying on its own structural characteristics.
[0057] In some specific embodiments, please see Figure 3As shown in FIG. 1, the finger root transmission member 43 comprises a U-shaped groove structure fixed on the finger root joint 21, and the flexion finger shaft 44 extends into the U-shaped groove structure and abuts against the side wall of the U-shaped groove structure during the bending and rotating operation, so as to drive the finger root joint 21 to bend and rotate together with the flexion finger shaft 44. More specifically, the U-shaped groove structure can be obtained by installing a finger joint pressing plate on the finger root joint 21, so as to form a U-shaped groove with the protruding part of the finger root joint 21 protruding towards the flexion finger shaft 44. In addition to being used as a force transmission component between the flexion finger shaft 44 and the finger root joint 21, the U-shaped groove structure can also be used as a limiting element for limiting the side swing amplitude. When the finger root joint 21 is driven to swing, the U-shaped bottom of the U-shaped groove structure contacts the part of the flexion finger shaft 44, thereby limiting the swing stroke. In addition, please refer to Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the flexion finger shaft 44 can be fixedly connected to the finger root rotating shaft 31 by a screw.
[0058] In a more specific embodiment, a bearing sleeve 45 is further sleeved on the flexion finger shaft 44, which contacts the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped groove structure, so as to drive the finger root joint 21 to bend and rotate together with the flexion finger shaft 44.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 10 to 12 As shown in FIG. 1, the side swing transmission shaft comprises a side swing rotating support 52 connected to the output shaft of the side swing driving member, and two transmission bearings 53 installed on the side swing rotating support 52 and located in the same plane, which abut against the finger root joint 21 to drive the finger root joint 21 to swing around the spherical bearing 32 by the rotation of the side swing transmission shaft. Specifically, the side swing transmission shaft can be driven to rotate by the side swing driving member (such as the side swing motor 51), so as to generate a torque on the finger root joint 21 which is in stable contact with the side swing transmission shaft, thereby driving the finger root joint 21 to swing. Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown in the drawings, the side swing transmission shaft can adopt a square body structure side swing transmission bracket, and two convex cylindrical bodies in parallel and on the same side can be provided on the square body structure, and a transmission bearing 53 (which can be a deep groove ball bearing) is fixedly sleeved on the cylindrical body. A hole is formed in the square body structure for connecting the output shaft of the side swing driving member.
[0062] In more specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the bearing pressing plate 54 is further fixed on the finger root joint 21, and the transmission bearing 53 is in contact with the bearing pressing plate 54. When the side swing transmission bracket 52 is driven to rotate by the side swing driving member, the transmission bearing 53 drives the bearing pressing plate 54 and the finger root joint 21 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the side swing transmission shaft, the bearing pressing plate is in continuous contact with the transmission bearing 53, and is not fixedly connected. At this time, it should be noted that the two transmission bearings 53 are preferably located above and below the contact bearing pressing plate 54.
[0063] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 As shown in the drawings, the finger root assembly 3 further comprises a shaft fastener for preventing the finger root shaft 31 from moving axially.
[0064] In more specific embodiments, the shaft fastener comprises an arc-shaped groove 33 machined on the side surface of the finger root shaft 31 in the axial direction, a stop screw 34 fixed axially relative to the palm base 1 and extending into the arc-shaped groove 33, and a shaft snap ring 35 installed at the end of the finger root shaft 31. In specific installation, when the finger root shaft 31 passes through the spherical bearing 32, the driven bevel gear 42, the finger bending shaft 44, and the deep groove ball bearing installed on the palm base 1, it is locked axially by the two stop screws 34 to prevent left and right movement, and further sleeved with the shaft snap ring 35 at the end to prevent movement. The upward and downward movement of the finger root shaft 31 is prevented by the deep groove ball bearing, and the outer side is locked by the shaft snap ring 35, so that the finger root assembly 3 is firmly structured and better resists impact load.

Specifically, the bend of the two joints is driven by two motors respectively, or can be driven by the connection modes commonly used in the art, such as connecting rods, gear structures, etc. For example, the bend of the middle joint of the finger (i.e. the joint between the proximal phalanx 21 and the middle phalanx 22) is mainly realized by a finger motor, the finger motor is fixed on the middle phalanx 22, the finger motor drives the middle phalanx transmission plates on both sides to rotate, and the bend state of the middle joint of the finger is realized.

[0067] The above embodiments can be implemented individually or in any combination of two or more.
[0068] The above embodiments will be described in more detail below in combination with specific examples.
[0069] Embodiment 1:
[0070] In order to realize the decoupling of the two degrees of freedom of the finger bending rotation and the lateral swing, and to satisfy the individual control of the two degrees of freedom of the finger, the embodiment provides a mechanical dexterous hand finger, the structure of which can be referred to as Figures 1 to 14 As shown, it comprises:
[0071] A palm base 1;
[0072] A finger phalanx 2, which comprises a proximal phalanx 21, a middle phalanx 22 and a distal phalanx 23 connected in sequence;
[0073] A proximal phalanx assembly 3, which comprises a proximal phalanx rotating shaft 31 rotatably mounted on the palm base 1, and a spherical bearing 32 arranged on the proximal phalanx rotating shaft 31 and matching the proximal phalanx 21;
[0074] A bending transmission mechanism 4, which comprises a driving bevel gear 41, a driven bevel gear 42, a proximal phalanx transmission member 43 and a finger flexion shaft 44, the driven bevel gear 42 is fixedly sleeved on the proximal phalanx rotating shaft 31, the driving bevel gear 41 is mounted on the palm base 1 and meshes with the driven bevel gear 42, and the finger flexion shaft 44 is fixedly mounted on the proximal phalanx rotating shaft 31 and keeps contact with the proximal phalanx transmission member 43 fixedly connected on the proximal phalanx 21 in the bending rotation work;

[0076] In the specific operation of the embodiment, the transmission mechanism for realizing the bending function of the finger root mainly comprises a bevel gear pair. The bending motor 46 drives the driving bevel gear 41 to rotate, thereby driving the driven bevel gear 42 to rotate along its orthogonal plane. The driven bevel gear 42 is fixedly connected with the finger root rotating shaft 31, and the finger root rotating shaft 31 is fixedly connected with the finger bending shaft 44. Therefore, the power transmitted by the driven bevel gear 42 is transmitted to the finger bending shaft 44 through the finger root rotating shaft 31, thereby realizing the forward and backward bending action of the finger root. In addition, the side swing action is realized as follows: the side swing driving member (such as the side swing motor 51) is fixed on the palm base 1, and the rotation of the output shaft of the side swing motor 51 is transmitted to the side swing transmission shaft. The side swing transmission shaft can be regarded as a horizontal arm rotating around the output shaft of the side swing motor 51 to output corresponding torque, thereby driving the finger root joint 21 in contact with the side swing transmission shaft to swing and rotate, and the shaft thereby drives the whole finger to swing left and right. The core of the mechanism of the present application is the spherical bearing 32, which can meet the requirements of the freedom degree of forward and backward bending, and can also rely on its own structural characteristics to realize the stroke requirements of left and right swinging under the driving of the motor.

More specifically, the U-shaped groove structure can be obtained by installing a finger joint pressing plate on the finger root joint 21, thereby forming a U-shaped groove with the protruding part of the finger root joint 21 protruding towards the finger bending shaft 44. The U-shaped groove structure can be used as a force transmission component between the finger bending shaft 44 and the finger root joint 21, and can also be used as a limiting element for limiting the swing amplitude. When the finger root joint 21 is driven to swing, the U-shaped bottom of the U-shaped groove structure contacts the part of the finger bending shaft 44, thereby producing a limiting effect and limiting the swing stroke. Figure 6 As shown in the drawings, the finger bending shaft 44 can be fixedly connected with the finger root rotating shaft 31 through a screw. The bearing sleeve 45 is sleeved on the finger bending shaft 44 and contacts the inner walls on both sides of the U-shaped groove structure, thereby driving the finger root joint 21 to bend and rotate together with the finger bending shaft 44.
