Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of bionic scratch, and particularly relates to a smooth-tooth transverse-vibration bionic scratcher. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-frequency and high-power vibration has important application value in the fields of industry, medical treatment and aerospace, and even has an indispensable position in some occasions. Generally, high-frequency and high-power elastic vibration refers to elastic vibration with a frequency range of about 1-100 kHz, including acoustic frequency and ultrasonic frequency range, and a power of not less than 1 W. Due to the characteristics of high frequency and high power, high-frequency and high-power elastic vibration can produce obvious mechanical effects on the target, such as changing the motion state, generating internal stress, generating motion friction heat and impact breaking, etc. In the field of mechanical processing, ultrasonic vibration cutting is a method of using high-power ultrasonic vibration to assist the cutting tool to cut; on the one hand, high-power ultrasonic vibration can effectively reduce the cutting force and cutting heat, thereby improving the machining quality and tool life, and in specific applications, ultrasonic vibration turning, ultrasonic vibration milling, ultrasonic vibration deep hole drilling, etc. are developed; on the other hand, high-power ultrasonic vibration can assist in realizing efficient machining of difficult-to-machine materials and parts, such as high-temperature alloy ultrasonic vibration milling, ultrasonic vibration grinding of optical glass, ultrasonic vibration grinding of composite materials, machining of resonant gyro thin-walled resonator, etc. In the field of clinical medical treatment, the ultrasonic scalpel using high-power ultrasonic vibration has the effect of coagulation while cutting tissues, effectively improving the operation conditions, reducing tissue damage, and being beneficial to postoperative wound healing; the ultrasonic bone cutting knife can realize efficient cutting of bone tissue, reduce bone tissue cutting force, relieve medical staff fatigue, and also has the characteristics of small cutting damage. In addition, with the strengthening of human exploration in deep space, high-frequency mechanical vibration assisted celestial body sampling device has attracted in-depth research of relevant technical personnel and has been applied in practice; China, the United States and the European Union have launched their own celestial body probes equipped with acoustic / ultrasonic vibration assisted rock and soil sampling device for analysis and research.
[0003] Currently, known high-frequency mechanical vibration generating devices mainly include hydrodynamic, piezoelectric, and magnetostrictive types. Hydrodynamic devices primarily use high-speed fluid (airflow or liquid flow) to excite vibrating components and generate high-frequency mechanical vibration. These devices are relatively large and are mainly used to generate acoustic / ultrasonic vibration waves within excitation fluids; no application cases have been found for exciting elastic vibrations within solids. Piezoelectric devices generate mechanical vibration by exciting an electroceramic element with alternating voltage, and then amplify the amplitude using an amplitude transformer before output. Magnetostrictive devices generate a changing magnetic field through an alternating current flowing through a coil, causing the magnetic material within the magnetic field to vibrate mechanically; similarly, the amplitude is amplified by an amplitude transformer before output. Piezoelectric and magnetostrictive devices, as two main high-frequency exciter modes, are widely used due to their simple structure, stability, reliability, and high load-carrying capacity. However, these two types of high-frequency vibration excitation devices are relatively large, making miniaturization difficult and hindering their application in some specialized fields. For example, ultrasonic scalpels used in minimally invasive surgery employ a sandwich-structured piezoelectric exciter to generate high-power ultrasonic vibrations, which are then transmitted to the tip of the scalpel via a slender transmission rod for tissue cutting. However, the high-power ultrasonic vibrations are easily suppressed after transmission through this slender rod, resulting in power attenuation and poor application performance. Furthermore, the inflexible nature of the transmission rod prevents its application in flexible surgical robots. Another type of micro-piezoelectric ultrasonic scalpel, currently under research, suffers from insufficient output power and weak load-bearing capacity. It also generates significant heat during operation, leading to excessively high scalpel temperatures and tissue burns. Additionally, this type of micro-piezoelectric ultrasonic scalpel requires power to be introduced into the patient's body, compromising surgical safety. Therefore, a novel, miniaturized high-frequency, high-power ultrasonic exciter is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the existing technical problems, this invention provides a smooth tooth transverse vibration bionic scraper that can achieve miniaturization of the structure while ensuring a large output power, and can be applied to some situations where the working space is limited.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:
[0008] A smooth-tooth transverse vibration biomimetic scraper includes: an elastic vibration component, a multi-tooth excitation component, an adjustable clamping component, and an integral connecting component;
[0009] This invention is designed by mimicking the structure of the vibration organ of leafcutter ants. (See attached image) Figure 1A Leafcutter ants ( Atta cephalotes) is a species living in South America, which can produce vibration by relative movement between tail and post handle. The vibration is transmitted to head teeth, helping leaf-cutting ants cut plant leaves. As shown in the attached Figure 1B and 1C , the tail of leaf-cutting ant has a file structure, which is driven by muscle to move and stimulate the elastic vibration of post handle.
[0010] The invention imitates the vibration exciting organ of leaf-cutting ant, and the multi-tooth exciting part corresponds to the tail, which is designed with exciting teeth; the elastic vibration part corresponds to the post handle, which can produce elastic vibration. The contact engagement relationship between the elastic vibration part and the multi-tooth exciting part is shown in the attached Figure 2 , the multi-tooth exciting part moves along the direction of speed v, and when the multi-tooth exciting part is at positions 1, 2, 3, it corresponds to the elastic vibration part at positions 1, 2, 3, respectively, and the vibration excitation is formed by engagement contact between the two. The elastic vibration part and the multi-tooth exciting part have a pre-pressure P. Assuming that the tip of the elastic vibration part and the multi-tooth exciting part continuously maintain contact during the working process, the contact engagement between the two causes the tip of the elastic vibration part to produce displacement S, which is expanded into a Fourier series as follows:
[0011] ;
[0012] The frequency response function of a point on the tip of the elastic vibration part is H(ω) by finite element simulation or modal test measurement.
[0013] Then the pre-pressure P should satisfy the following formula:
[0014] ;
[0015] Satisfying this condition, the elastic vibration part and the multi-tooth exciting part can form intermittent contact and form a nonlinear unilateral constraint condition during the working process.

[0022] Preferably, the vibration is excited by the engagement of the excitation teeth with the scraper teeth.
[0023] The excitation vibration is a mechanical geometric constraint.
[0024] The geometric constraint has the characteristics of unilateralism and periodic time variability.
[0025] Unilateralism means that the excitation teeth and the scraper teeth can be in contact or separated from each other.

[0027] The nonlinear constraint condition makes the entire smooth tooth transverse vibration bionic scraper a nonlinear vibration system.
[0028] Preferably, the working mode of the nonlinear vibration system includes at least frequency excitation, frequency multiplication excitation, and frequency division excitation.
[0029] Preferably, the multi-tooth excitation component simulates the file organ of the leaf-cutting ant, and has a strip shape or a disc shape for reciprocating motion and rotary motion, respectively.
[0030] The power source of the disc-shaped multi-tooth excitation component for rotary motion is any one of an electric motor, a pneumatic turbine, or a hydraulic motor.
[0031] The power source of the strip-shaped multi-tooth excitation component for reciprocating motion is any one of an electric reciprocating push rod, a linear motor, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a power source for outputting rotary motion.
[0032] Preferably, the elastic vibration component includes an excitation part, an output part, and a support arm.
[0033] The front end of the excitation part has scraper teeth.
[0034] The excitation part has scraper teeth, and the displacement excitation is formed by the engagement of the scraper teeth with the excitation teeth of the multi-tooth excitation component.
[0035] The number of support arms is one pair or multiple pairs.
[0036] The support arm is used for the connection and assembly of the elastic vibration component and the adjustable clamping component.
[0037] The assembly mode is a clamping type installation that can be disassembled multiple times or a welding type installation that cannot be disassembled.
[0038] Preferably, the profile curve of the excitation teeth of the multi-tooth excitation component and the scraper teeth of the elastic vibration component is any one of a circular arc, an involute, a parabola, and a cycloid.
[0039] Preferably, the adjustable clamping component comprises a special support and a damping spring.
[0040] The special support and the damping spring form a mass-spring-damper system.
[0041] During operation, the adjustable clamping component can ensure that an adaptive contact force is formed between the excitation tooth and the scraper tooth.
[0042] The size of the adaptive contact force is changed by adjusting the pre-pressing amount of the damping spring, so that the power is adjusted.
[0043] The damping spring is made of a material that has both elastic effect and damping effect.
