The inner ring structure is fixedly connected with the lower shell in a concentric manner through a bolt 11. The double-layer metal sheet ring 6 has a circumference greater than that of the outer ring structure. The double-layer metal sheet ring 6 is arranged between the inner and outer ring structures and partially recessed to form a water bubble bending structure.

In the present embodiment, three support columns are arranged.

[0035] The inner circular ring structure comprises an inner circular ring support 5, a plurality of push rods 4, a rotating disc 3 and a rotating shaft 7, the inner circular ring support 5 is fixedly connected with a circular bottom plate 16 through a plurality of bolts 11, a plurality of push rod guide rails 22 are uniformly arranged on the inner circular ring support 5 in the radial direction, the plurality of push rods 4 are respectively embedded on the corresponding push rod guide rails 22 and can slide in the radial direction, the rotating disc 3 is arranged on the inner circular ring support 5, a plurality of arc grooves 23 are formed on the rotating disc 3, and the protrusions on the plurality of push rods 4 are respectively embedded in the corresponding arc grooves 23, the rotating shaft 7 penetrates through the circular bottom plate 16 downwards and is rotatably connected with the middle part of the circular bottom plate 16 through a bearing 12, and the rotating disc 3 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 7. The push rod 4 is a T-shaped structure, which is composed of a sliding rod sliding along the push rod guide rail and an outer push part connected to the front end of the sliding rod perpendicularly, and the outer push part has an arc surface.

[0036] In the embodiment, the inner circular ring support 5 is composed of an upper layer support and a lower layer support, a plurality of upper push rod guide rails are uniformly arranged on the upper layer support in the radial direction upwards, a plurality of lower push rod guide rails are uniformly arranged on the lower layer support in the radial direction downwards, the lower push rod guide rails are located on the angle bisector of the included angle between the two upper push rod guide rails, the upper push rod guide rails and the lower push rod guide rails are respectively embedded with corresponding upper push rods 41 and lower push rods 42, and the inner circular ring structure correspondingly comprises an upper rotating disc 3 and a lower rotating disc 24, the upper rotating disc 3 is arranged on the upper side of the upper layer support, the lower rotating disc 24 is arranged on the lower side of the lower layer support, a plurality of arc grooves are respectively formed on the upper rotating disc 3 and the lower rotating disc 24, the protrusions on the upper sides of the plurality of upper push rods are respectively embedded in the corresponding arc grooves of the upper rotating disc, and the protrusions on the lower sides of the plurality of lower push rods are respectively embedded in the corresponding arc grooves of the lower rotating disc; and the upper rotating disc 3 and the lower rotating disc 24 are fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 7. A hexagonal hole is formed in the lower end of the rotating shaft 7, which can be connected with an external driving shaft to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, so as to change the diameter of the inner circular ring structure.

[0037] In the embodiment, the radius R1 of the outer circular ring structure is 67 mm, and the radius R2 of the inner circular ring structure is 33.5-46.5 mm. The temperature curvature of the bimetallic circular ring is 38℃ -1 , the length is 421 mm, and the width is 15 mm.

[0038] The stress condition of the bubble buckling structure is shown in Figure 3 The bubble buckling structure of the double-layer metal sheet circular ring is determined by the following balance equation set:

[0039] x'(s)=cosθ(s), y'(s)=sinθ(s)

[0040] Kθ"-F x sinθ(s)+F yr cosθ(s)=0

[0041] Kθ"-Fx sinθ(s)+F yl cosθ(s)=0

[0042] θ(s1)=β,θ(s2)=-β

[0043] Where x and y are the Cartesian coordinates of any point on the bubble buckling configuration, s represents the natural coordinate arc length of any point p on the bubble buckling configuration, θ(s) represents the angle between the tangent to the bubble buckling configuration curve at point p and the x-axis, the x-axis coincides with the vectors formed by s1 and s2, the y-axis conforms to the right-hand rule, K is the bending stiffness of the double-layer metal ring, and F x It is the internal force in the x-direction of the bubble buckling configuration, F. yl and F yr s1 and s2 are the internal forces in the y direction of the left and right half of the bubble buckling configuration, respectively. s1 and s2 are the left and right endpoints of the loading region, respectively. β is the boundary driving angle at both ends of the loading region.

[0044] In the equilibrium configuration of the loaded region, the midpoint deflection of the loaded region under different states can be obtained. The midpoint deflection is defined as the deflection of the midpoint of the loaded region relative to the horizontal axis, such as... Figure 3 As shown in ω. When the midpoint deflection of steady state 1 is equal to the midpoint deflection of unstable state 1, the critical boundary driving angle β can be determined. c Thus, the critical loading curvature κ can be obtained. c :

[0045]

[0046] Where λ is the scaling factor, s l Indicates the length of the loaded region.

[0047] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the expansion coefficient of the inner layer of the bimetallic ring 6 is higher than that of the outer layer. After the heating element on the right is connected to the power supply, the temperature of the loading area rises, heating the bimetallic ring at the contact position. The boundary driving angle of the loading segment increases, and the deflection at the midpoint of the loading segment first increases and then decreases. At the same time, the strain energy increases. When the midpoint deflection decreases to the same level as the midpoint deflection in the unstable state, the loading segment jumps to the stable state II, and the bubble rotates counterclockwise. Figure 4 As shown, the rotational torque is transmitted to the cover plate 1 via the transmission component 8, thereby outputting a counterclockwise torque through the output shaft on the cover plate 1. After heating the left heating element, the drive outputs a clockwise torque.

[0048] The rotating driver can adjust the rotating torque of the output shaft by adjusting the diameter of the inner ring structure to extrude the double-layer metal sheet ring to generate water bubble buckling structures of different sizes. When adjusting the diameter of the inner ring structure, the mounting positions of the transmission member and the heating sheet on the cover plate are also adjusted accordingly to ensure that the transmission member 8 and the heating sheet 13 are in contact with the double-layer metal sheet ring 6.

[0049] As shown in Figure 6 , the critical boundary driving angle increases with the increase of the loading position and decreases with the increase of the constraint width; the critical boundary driving angle is related to the critical load, the larger the loading position, the larger the critical load, and the larger the constraint width, the smaller the critical load. Therefore, the rotating driver can control the size of the output torque by changing the loading position and the radius of the inner ring structure.

[0050] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in other forms. Any skilled person in the art can modify or change the above disclosed technical content to equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments made without departing from the technical solution of the present application, according to the technical essence of the present application, still belongs to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
