[0042] Based on the above technical features, the present invention is designed to simulate the grasping and operating functions of humans through the setting of the finger component 200, which includes a bionic thumb 2 and four bionic fingers 3; and through the setting of the drive component 300, the drive component 300 includes a first drive structure, a second drive mechanism 5, a first motor 6 and a second motor 7. These components jointly provide power and control for the finger component 200. The first drive structure is connected to the bionic thumb 2, and the flexible movement of the bionic thumb 2 is achieved through the drive of the first motor 6. The second drive mechanism 5 is connected to the four bionic fingers 3, and the driven synchronous pulley 52 is rotated through the drive of the second motor 7, thereby driving the multiple bionic fingers 3 connected thereto to perform coordinated grasping actions. This design enables multiple bionic fingers 3 to complete the grasping task synchronously and coordinately, improves the operating efficiency and accuracy of the dexterous hand, greatly reduces the number of motors required for the dexterous hand, further enhances the safety and reliability of the dexterous hand, and effectively reduces the production cost of the dexterous hand.
[0043] Furthermore, the first motor 6 is a steering gear, and the second motor 7 is a coreless motor. The combination of the steering gear and the coreless motor in the dexterous hand can give full play to their respective advantages. The high-precision position control capability of the steering gear enables the bionic thumb 2 to perform various fine operations; while the high speed, high sensitivity and low inertia characteristics of the coreless motor enable multiple bionic fingers 3 to complete the grasping action synchronously and quickly. This combined application not only improves the operating efficiency and accuracy of the dexterous hand, but also expands its application capabilities in various complex environments.
[0044] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the bionic thumb 2 includes an upper phalanx 21, a middle phalanx 22 and a lower phalanx 23, the rear end of the upper phalanx 21 is hinged to the front end of the middle phalanx 22, the rear end of the middle phalanx 22 is hinged to the front end of the lower phalanx 23, and the rear end of the lower phalanx 23 is hinged to the first drive mechanism 4. The rear end of the upper phalanx 21 is connected to the front end of the middle phalanx 22 by a certain hinge mechanism, and this connection mode allows the upper phalanx 21 to rotate to a certain extent relative to the middle phalanx 22, thereby simulating the bending and extension movements of the human thumb; similarly, the rear end of the middle phalanx 22 is also connected to the front end of the lower phalanx 23 by a hinge mechanism, so that the middle phalanx 22 can rotate relative to the lower phalanx 23, and this design increases the flexibility of the bionic thumb 2, enabling it to perform more complex movements; the rear end of the lower phalanx 23 is connected to the first drive mechanism 4, and power is transmitted through the hinge mechanism. This connection mode ensures that the first drive mechanism 4 can accurately control the bending and extension angles of the bionic thumb 2, thereby achieving fine operation.
[0045] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the rear end of the upper phalanx 21 is provided with a first connection joint 24, and the first connection joint 24 is used to connect with the middle phalanx 22. The middle phalanx 22 includes a first rod body 221 and a second rod body 222. The front end of the first rod body 221 is provided with a first connection joint, and the first connection joint is engaged with the first connection joint 24 and is hinged through a pin shaft. The front end of the second rod body 222 is hinged with the rear end of the first rod body 221. A matching structure is provided on the first connection joint 24, and the front end of the first rod body 221 is equipped with a first connection joint. These two parts are engaged through matching and hinged with a pin shaft, which ensures the stability and flexibility of the connection. This design allows the first rod body 221 to rotate relative to the upper phalanx 21 to simulate the bending action of the thumb.
[0046] Furthermore, the upper knuckle 21 and the first rod 221 and the second rod 222 form a first connecting rod 321 unit. The first connecting rod 321 unit is composed of the upper knuckle 21, the first rod 221 and the second rod 222, which are closely connected through a precise hinge design to form a unified and powerful whole.
[0047] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the middle finger joint 22 also includes a third rod body 223, a fourth rod body 231 and a first elastic member 234. The front end of the third rod body 223 is provided with a second connecting joint. The rear end of the first rod body 221 is engaged with the second connecting joint and hinged through a pin. The front end of the fourth rod body 231 is hinged to the rear end of the third rod body 223. One end of the first elastic member 234 is connected to the rear end of the third rod body 223, and the other end is connected to the rear end of the fourth rod body 231. The first elastic member 234 is used to transmit the rotational force of the fourth rod body 231 to the third rod body 223, thereby driving the third rod body 223 to rotate. Through the design of the third rod body 223, the fourth rod body 231 and the first elastic member 234, a stable connecting rod system is formed together. The connecting rods are hinged by pins to ensure the stability and flexibility of the connection, while allowing the connecting rods to rotate relative to each other within a certain range to simulate the complex movements of human fingers; at the same time, the introduction of the first elastic member 234 provides the middle finger joint 22 with additional power transmission and motion buffering functions, which can store and release energy during the bending and extension of the finger, thereby enhancing the flexibility and stability of the bionic thumb 2.
[0048] Furthermore, the third rod body 223 , the fourth rod body 231 and the first elastic member 234 form a second connecting rod 322 unit.
[0049] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the lower knuckle 23 is provided with a fifth rod 232, a sixth rod 233 and a second elastic member 235, the front end of the fifth rod 232 is provided with a third connection joint, the fifth rod 232 is engaged with the rear end of the third rod 223 and the front end of the fourth rod 231 through the third connection joint and is hinged through a pin, the front end of the sixth rod 233 is hinged with the rear end of the fifth rod 232, the second elastic member 235 is respectively provided on both sides of the sixth rod 233, one end of the second elastic member 235 is connected to the sixth rod 233, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the shell of the lower knuckle 23. The lower knuckle 23 is composed of the fifth rod 232 and the sixth rod 233, and these connecting rods and other parts are closely connected through a precise hinge design, forming a highly coordinated and stable overall structure. The second elastic member 235 is respectively arranged on both sides of the sixth rod body 233, and is connected to the sixth rod body 233 and the inner wall of the shell of the lower knuckle 23. This layout not only provides additional power support and motion buffering for the fingers, but also helps to maintain the stability of the fingers during movement.
[0050] Furthermore, the fifth rod 232, the sixth rod 233 and the second elastic member 235 form a third connecting rod 323. The components inside the lower knuckle 23 are precisely hinged and elastically connected to achieve distinct power transmission and motion coordination, providing strong support for complex finger motion simulation.
[0051] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first driving mechanism 4 includes a driving wheel 41, a driven wheel 42 and a connecting member 43. One end of the driving wheel 41 is connected to the output end of the first motor 6, and the other end is connected to the driven wheel 42. The first motor 6 is used to drive the driving wheel 41 to rotate, thereby driving the driven wheel 42 to rotate. One end of the connecting member 43 is rotationally connected to the driven wheel 42, and the other end is connected to the rear end of the sixth rod body 233. The driven wheel 42 drives the sixth rod body 233 to swing back and forth along the circumference of the driven wheel 42 through the connecting member 43. The first driving mechanism 4 includes a driving wheel 41 and a driven wheel 42. One end of the driving wheel 41 is connected to the output end of the first motor 6, and the other end is connected to the driven wheel 42. When the first motor 6 is started, it drives the driving wheel 41 to rotate, and then drives the driven wheel 42 to rotate through a gear transmission. One end of the connecting member 43 is connected to the driven wheel 42, and the other end is connected to the rear end of the sixth rod body 233. As the driven wheel 42 rotates, the connecting member 43 drives the sixth rod body 233 to swing back and forth along the circumference of the driven wheel 42, thereby realizing the bending and stretching of the fingers. The first motor 6 can achieve precise control of the movement of the driven wheel 42 and the sixth rod body 233 by precisely controlling the speed and direction of the driving wheel 41. This control method not only enables the fingers to complete complex action simulations, but also can be flexibly adjusted according to different application scenarios.
[0052] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism 4, the third connecting rod 323 unit, the second connecting rod 322 unit and the first connecting rod 321 unit are connected in sequence. The first driving mechanism 4, the third connecting rod 323 unit, the second connecting rod 322 unit and the first connecting rod 321 unit are connected in sequence to form a complete and powerful bionic thumb 2 structure. The connecting rod units are precisely hinged and connected to achieve smooth power transmission and coordinated action.
[0053] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, each bionic finger 3 includes a first knuckle 31 and a second knuckle 32, the rear end of the first knuckle 31 is hinged to the front end of the second knuckle 32, and the rear end of the second knuckle 32 is hinged to the second drive mechanism 5. The first knuckle 31 and the second knuckle 32 are connected by a hinge design, allowing them to rotate relative to each other within a certain range, thereby simulating the bending and stretching movements of human fingers. The second drive mechanism 5 is hinged to the rear end of the second knuckle 32 and is responsible for providing power to the bionic finger 3.
[0054] Furthermore, the bionic finger 3 includes a bionic little finger, a bionic ring finger, a bionic middle finger and a bionic index finger, so that the bionic finger 3 and the bionic thumb 2 form a complete palm structure, effectively realizing the dexterous hand's grasping operation.
[0055] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the rear end of the first finger joint 31 is provided with a fourth connection joint, the second finger joint 32 includes a first connecting rod 321 and a second connecting rod 322, the front end of the first connecting rod 321 is provided with a fourth connection joint, the fourth connection joint is engaged with the fourth connection joint and is hinged through a pin, the front end of the second connecting rod 322 is hinged with the rear end of the first connecting rod 321, one side of the second connecting rod 322 is connected to the inner wall of the shell of the second finger joint 32, and the first finger joint 31 swings back and forth along the circumference of the pin. Through the arrangement of the first connecting rod 321 and the second connecting rod 322, the rear end of the first connecting rod 321 is connected to the front end of the second connecting rod 322 by a hinged manner, and this connection method allows the first connecting rod 321 and the second connecting rod 322 to rotate relative to each other within a certain angle range, thereby further increasing the flexibility of the bionic finger 3. Since the first finger joint 31 swings back and forth along the circumferential direction of the pin shaft, the bionic finger 3 can achieve flexible bending and stretching movements. This swinging mode not only simulates the natural movement of human fingers, but also enables the fingers to adapt to various complex operating requirements.
[0056] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second finger joint 32 also includes a third link 323, a fourth link 324 and a fifth link 325, the front end of the third link 323 is hinged to the rear end of the first link 321, the front end of the fourth link 324 is hinged to the rear end of the third link 323, and one end of the fifth link 325 is connected to the rear end of the fourth link 324. The first link 321, the second link 322, the third link 323, the fourth link 324 and the fifth link 325 are connected by hinges to form a multi-link mechanism. This mechanism allows the bionic finger 3 to perform complex bending and stretching movements in multiple planes, thereby simulating the more delicate movement characteristics of human fingers.
[0057] As some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second driving mechanism 5 includes a driving synchronous pulley 51 and a synchronous belt 53. One end of the driving synchronous pulley 51 is connected to the output end of the second motor 7, and the other end is connected to one end of the synchronous belt 53. The other end of the synchronous belt 53 is connected to the driven synchronous pulley 52. The driving synchronous pulley 51 drives the driven synchronous pulley 52 to rotate in the first direction through the synchronous belt 53. The driven synchronous pulley 52 is connected to the fourth connecting rod 324. The rotation of the driven synchronous pulley 52 drives the fourth connecting rod 324 to swing back and forth along the circumference of the driven synchronous pulley 52. Through the design of the second driving mechanism 5, the second driving mechanism 5 includes an active synchronous pulley 51, a driven synchronous pulley 52 and a synchronous belt 53. When the second motor 7 is started, its output end transmits power to the active synchronous pulley 51, and the active synchronous pulley 51 transmits power to the driven synchronous pulley 52 through the synchronous belt, so that the driven synchronous pulley 52 starts to rotate along the first direction. Since the driven synchronous pulley 52 is connected to the fourth connecting rod 324, its rotation will drive the fourth connecting rod 324 to swing back and forth along its circumference. This swinging mode will cause the fourth connecting rod 324 and the connecting rod system connected thereto to move accordingly, thereby realizing the bending and stretching movements of the bionic finger 3.
