Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a mechanical hand, in particular to a truss type hybrid deployable envelope grabbing mechanical hand. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, most of the grabbing mechanical hands still have some problems. First, single finger mechanical hand refers to a mechanical hand that can only move linearly and rotate in one direction. Compared with multi-finger mechanical hand, although the structure is simple, it has a larger working space and envelope range, but when grabbing the target, the single finger grabbing mechanical hand can only contact a small area of the target, increasing the local pressure, which may cause damage to the surface of the grabbed target. Second, multi-finger grabbing mechanical hand has multiple fingers. Compared with single finger grabbing mechanical hand, it has stronger shape adaptability and is better at grabbing unknown targets, but it has a smaller envelope range, that is, the spatial region that the multi-finger grabbing mechanical hand can grab the target is limited. Third, in the design of the mechanical hand, when the mechanical hand grabs an unknown target, if the rigidity of the mechanical hand is insufficient, it will not only cause the target to loosen or even fall off, causing harm, but also damage the mechanical hand, so the mechanical hand needs to have good rigidity to grab the target firmly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] The grabbing manipulator is a research hotspot in the field of robot mechanism. In the development history of the manipulator, the serial manipulator plays the role of pioneer. The typical serial manipulator is usually composed of an arm mechanism, a wrist mechanism and a gripper. The essence is to imitate the human hand, so the designed mechanism is an open-chain mechanism composed of a series of connecting rods and kinematic pairs connected in sequence. It has two or more degrees of freedom, so the working space formed is larger, but the stiffness of the serial mechanism is smaller, so it is only suitable for grabbing light targets. The most essential difference between the parallel manipulator and the serial manipulator is that the motion chain of the parallel manipulator is closed. Although the design of such a motion chain overcomes the problem of insufficient stiffness of the serial manipulator, the working space is small and the dexterity is poor. The characteristics of series and parallel are neutralized, and a hybrid manipulator is proposed. This kind of manipulator has a larger working space and overcomes the problem of insufficient stiffness. However, all three types of grabbing manipulators have the same problem when grabbing large-scale unknown targets, i.e. they have no folding and unfolding property, and the volume of the folded body is large, the driving is complex, and it is difficult to transport and store conveniently.

[0046] Therefore, aiming at the above problems, the present application aims to solve the problem of grabbing large-scale unknown targets, and proposes a truss type hybrid deployable enveloping grabbing manipulator, which is composed of finger mechanisms and palm mechanisms. Each finger mechanism is composed of module units, and the length of the finger can be controlled by controlling the number of modules. The scissor assembly is used as the basic unit, and the scissor assembly has good folding and unfolding properties, which can reduce the size during transportation, thereby increasing the utilization rate of space and reducing the transportation cost of the truss type deployable enveloping grabbing manipulator during transportation. In addition, the scissor assembly has the characteristics of single degree of freedom, so the driving is simple. In addition, in order to enhance the rigidity of the module, a support mechanism is designed, which takes a four-pyramid as a reference. The four-pyramid has good stability, so the support mechanism can effectively improve the rigidity of the module. At the same time, the palm mechanism of the truss type hybrid deployable enveloping grabbing manipulator includes four identical branches. Each branch includes two quadrilateral mechanisms, which are coupled through the rotating pairs connected by the quadrilateral mechanisms, so that the two quadrilateral mechanisms only need one driver. In order to further make the palm mechanism only need one driver, the coupled quadrilateral mechanisms are coupled again through the moving pairs. When the finger mechanism of the grabbing manipulator is connected to the palm mechanism, a four-fingered grabbing manipulator can be formed. The four-fingered grabbing manipulator can quickly adapt to large-scale unknown targets.

The end of the first upper connecting rod 22 is hinged to the front of the third upper connecting rod 24. The end of the second upper connecting rod 23 is hinged to the front of the fourth upper connecting rod 25. The beginning of the push rod 30 is hinged to the sliding seat 19.

The second hinge end is hinged to the end of the second lower connecting rod 15 and the beginning of the fourth lower connecting rod 29, respectively.

[0055] The linkage assembly 21 also includes a drive rod 31. The beginning of the drive rod 31 passes through and is movably connected to the retractable plate 20. The end of the drive rod 31 is hinged to the middle of the first scissor bar 5 and the second scissor bar 6, respectively. Through the force of the actuator, the scissor mechanism 1 unfolds as the drive rod 31 extends, realizing the retraction and unfolding of the truss-type hybrid deployable envelope gripping robot.

[0056] The scissor mechanism 1 includes four grabbing arms 3, forming a four-finger gripping manipulator.

[0057] like Figure 18 As shown, in the first specific embodiment, the scissor mechanism 1 includes four grabbing arms 3, each grabbing arm 3 includes three scissor assemblies 4, and the drive mechanism 2 includes four retraction assemblies, which can grab spherical targets 32.

[0061] In order to realize that the truss type mixed connection deployable envelope grabbing manipulator has good folding and unfolding ratio, the module of the finger takes the scissor assembly 4 as a basic unit, because the scissor assembly 4 has good folding and unfolding ratio and single degree of freedom characteristics, and also has better stability. In addition, a component with both cylindrical pair and moving pair is designed in the adjacent scissor assembly 4 as the connecting component of the scissor assembly, so that the two adjacent scissor assemblies 4 can be relatively rotated and synchronously folded and unfolded.

[0063] In order to realize that the truss type mixed connection deployable envelope grabbing manipulator has better rigidity, a supporting mechanism 13 is designed on the module of the manipulator finger, so that the scissor assembly 4 and the supporting mechanism 13 jointly constitute a single module, and the four-pyramid is taken as the reference of the supporting mechanism 13, the four-pyramid has good stability, so the increase of the supporting mechanism 13 can effectively improve the rigidity of the module.

[0064] In order to realize that the truss type mixed connection deployable envelope grabbing manipulator can have better shape adaptability, the four-finger mechanism is adopted, wherein the four-finger mechanism makes the grabbing surface approach to a spherical surface, and can effectively envelope large-scale unknown targets, so this design makes the truss type deployable envelope grabbing manipulator not only has higher adaptability, but also improves the stability of the grabbing manipulator to the target 32.

[0065] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
