Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible driving devices, and in particular to a negative pressure driving actuator based on electromagnetic changes and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Soft actuators have broad application prospects in the fields of bionic robots, flexible grasping and medical rehabilitation. Bending, as one of the most basic forms of movement of soft actuators, plays a vital role in both biological and mechanical systems. According to different bending drive methods, soft actuators can be divided into gas drive, voltage drive, magnetic field drive, bio-hybrid drive, etc.
[0003] Compared with soft actuators with other driving modes, pneumatic soft actuators have simple structure, low manufacturing cost, high driving efficiency, fast response speed and no pollution. The existing pneumatic soft actuator structures are mostly driven by inflation mode to achieve deformation and require a large inflation pressure, such as a multi-curvature flexible manipulator based on a segmented variable stiffness structure and its preparation method disclosed in CN118288325A, a soft robot actuator and a gripper disclosed in CN108698285A, etc., the cross-section of its internal cavity is an elongated pleated structure. Under the action of inflation positive pressure, the pressure inside the cavity increases, causing the side wall of the trapezoidal cavity to expand outward, generating asymmetric stress distribution, causing the actuator pleats to expand and bend inward for flexible grasping.
[0004] However, when driven by higher inflation pressure, the actuator cavity may explode. In addition, due to the influence of manufacturing process, materials, etc., most of the existing pneumatic soft actuators do not have perception capabilities. Some pneumatic soft actuators achieve perception capabilities through integrated sensors, but traditional rigid sensors have insufficient sensing bandwidth, and after being integrated into the soft actuator body, they will limit the deformation of the actuator, affecting its use.

Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0045] Embodiment 1
[0046] Specifically, Figures 1 to 6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a negative pressure driven actuator based on electromagnetic change, including a magnetized actuator body 10 and a coil substrate nested in one end of the actuator body, the coil substrate is a thin sheet, the coil substrate contains a coil of a preset shape, and the base material of the coil substrate is consistent with the material of the actuator body; the coil 20 in the coil substrate can be deformed freely with the actuator body 10, the bottom surface of the actuator body is a plane, and when in use, it contacts the object to be grasped through the bottom plane, a vent hole 11 is provided on one side of the actuator body 10, and an air duct 12 communicated with the vent hole 11 is provided in the internal interval of the actuator body 10, and the air The channel 12 is provided with a plurality of mutually interpenetrating cavities 13 with polygonal cross-sections at intervals along a direction away from the vent hole 11. Preferably, the number of sides of the polygon is not less than five. The polygonal cavity 13 includes at least two oppositely arranged inner angles. The line between the two oppositely arranged inner angles is parallel to the plane end of the actuator body. The vent hole 11 is used to communicate with an external air pump to extract the air in the cavity 13 to make it present a negative pressure. Through the two oppositely arranged inner angles, the cavity is caused to collapse cooperatively under the action of negative pressure, thereby generating bending deformation. The coil 20 is connected to an electromagnetic measuring device, and the voltage change and magnetic flux change caused by the deformation of the actuator body are measured by the electromagnetic measuring device.
[0047] Indicatively, Figure 1As shown, the present application is explained with the top of the actuator body 10 as a boss and the bottom as a plane; a plurality of polygonal bosses 14 adapted to the cavity are arranged at intervals at one end of the actuator body 10 away from the coil, and the actuator body 10 is made of a deformable elastic material and is a soft structure as a whole; the coil 20 is nested at the bottom of the actuator body 10, the vent 11 is arranged at the lower left side of the actuator body 10, the airway 12 is connected to the vent 11, and the airway 12 is arranged at intervals from left to right with a plurality of cavities 13, and the number of cavities is 5. The vent 11 is connected to an external air pump through a silicone hose, and the air pump is used to evacuate air so that a negative pressure is formed inside the actuator body 10, and the actuator body 10 is bent downward and deformed under the action of the negative pressure; the actuator of the present application can be used to grasp objects, and when in use, the bottom surface of the actuator body 10 begins to contact the surface of the object to be grasped, and grasps the object when it is bent downward and deformed; Since the actuator body 10 is magnetized, the coil nested under the actuator body 10 will generate a voltage signal when the actuator body 10 is deformed. The coil 20 is connected to the electromagnetic measuring device, and the change in the voltage signal of the coil 20 when the actuator body 10 is deformed is measured by the electromagnetic measuring device, and converted into a change in magnetic flux; the magnetic flux change and the deformation state data of the actuator body 10 are fitted, and the magnetic flux change and the deformation state data show a strong linear correlation, so a linear function is used for fitting, which is simple, convenient and fast; the actuator body 10 is deformed by negative pressure, and the pressure size is flexible and controllable, safe and reliable; the actuator body 10 is magnetized, and the coil 20 is nested at the bottom of the actuator body 10. The deformation of the actuator can be sensed by measuring the voltage change of the coil. The coil is nested inside the actuator body 10 to reduce the deformation effect on the actuator.
[0048] Optionally, the cavity 13 is located above the airway 12 as a whole, and the cross-sectional shapes of the plurality of cavities arranged at intervals are the same and are all hexagonal, and each polygonal boss 14 corresponds to a hexagonal cavity; Figure 2 As shown, the cavity includes two oppositely disposed inner corners , the two opposite inner angles are the same and parallel to the length direction of the airway, and the angles of the other four inner angles are also the same. By setting the two opposite inner angles parallel to the airway, the cavity 13 in the actuator body 10 is flat, which can reduce the resistance of the actuator deformation. By changing the angles in the hexagonal cavity, the bending performance and bending direction of the negative pressure driven actuator can be changed. Preferably, , for a single chamber, the pressure component in the longitudinal direction is 2P (cos / 2), the pressure component in the height direction is 2P (sin / 2). When <90°, 2P(cos / 2) is less than 2P (sin / 2), the chamber will collapse in the height direction, causing it to bend clockwise and fit the object for grasping. >90°, 2P (cos / 2) is greater than 2P (sin / 2), the chamber will collapse in the height direction, resulting in a counterclockwise bend and separation from the object.
[0049] Optionally, in the present application, the negative pressure driven actuators with different relative inner angle structures are simulated by simulation software, and a negative pressure of -100 kPa is applied in the cavity. The simulation results are shown in Table 1.
[0050] Table 1
[0051]
[0052] From Table 1, we can see that when the internal angle is , as the relative internal angle increases, the corresponding cavity bending angle per unit length increases accordingly. The bending angle per unit length can effectively characterize the bending deformation degree of the structure within the unit length. or equal to When the bending deformation effect is general, when the inner angle , a reverse bend will occur, and the bending angle per unit length is the ratio of the bending angle of a single cavity to the length of the cavity.
[0053] It can be understood that, in some optional embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the cavity may also be a pentagon or other shapes that meet the requirements.
[0054] Optionally, the wall thickness of the end where the polygonal boss 14 is located in the actuator body 10 is greater than the wall thickness of the end where the coil 20 is located, that is, the wall thickness of the top of the actuator body 10 is greater than the wall thickness of the bottom. The thick-top and thin-bottom structure is conducive to the downward deformation of the negative pressure driven actuator in this example. Optionally, the wall thickness of the top of the actuator body 10 is 2mm-2.5mm, and the wall thickness of the bottom is 1.5mm-2mm. A slot structure 15 is provided on the actuator body 10. The slot structure 15 is arranged near the vent 11 and is used to install the negative pressure driven actuator. Optionally, there are two slot structures 15, which are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear end surfaces on the left side of the actuator body 10. Optionally, the slot structure is a dovetail structure. Furthermore, the coil can be made of copper wire with a diameter of 0.2mm, and the coil can undergo reversible deformation along with the movement of the actuator body. Furthermore, the coil is a square vortex structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the coil is a square spiral coil with gradually decreasing dimensions; in some optional embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the coil may also be a small spiral coil comprising several arrays.
[0055] In summary, the negative pressure driven actuator based on electromagnetic change provided by the present application includes a magnetized actuator body 10 and a coil 20 nested at one end of the actuator body, the coil 20 can be deformed freely with the actuator body 10, a vent hole 11 is provided on one side of the actuator body 10, an air passage 12 connected to the vent hole 11 and a plurality of spaced cavities 13 are provided inside the actuator body 10, the vent hole 11 is used to communicate with an external air pump to extract the air in the cavity 13 to make it present a negative pressure, so that the actuator body The body 10 is deformed under the action of negative pressure, and the coil 20 is connected to the electromagnetic measuring device, through which the voltage change and magnetic flux change caused by the deformation of the actuator body are measured; the actuator body 10 is deformed by the negative pressure, and the pressure is flexibly controllable, safe and reliable; the actuator body 10 is magnetized, and the coil 20 is nested at the bottom of the actuator body 10. The deformation of the actuator can be adaptively sensed by measuring the voltage change of the coil. The coil is nested inside the actuator body 10 to reduce the deformation effect on the actuator.

[0084] The air pump and the overflow valve jointly set an initial air pressure for the actuator, so that the actuator can produce a certain bending angle. The voltage value u of the corresponding angle can be obtained through the correlation between voltage and time. The voltage value u is compared with the expected voltage value u. sBy comparison, if the absolute value of the difference between the two is less than the preset value, the measured voltage is recorded and output, and the preset value can be set to different values according to different test scenarios. If it is greater than this preset value, the voltage value is input into the PID controller. According to the input voltage value, the PID controller outputs the corresponding current to the electric actuator through proportional calculation, and then adjusts the opening of the overflow valve to control the air pressure and adjust the angle of the actuator. Subsequently, the angle is measured again using the angle detection device, corresponding to the voltage value. If the interpolated absolute value of the measured voltage value and the expected voltage value is still greater than the set value, the above process will be repeated. This cycle will continue until the absolute value of the difference between the measured voltage and the expected voltage is less than the preset value, and the calibration is completed.
