The robotic arm can be used for a variety of operations such as handling, assembly, welding, cutting, etc., and is widely used in industrial automation, medical care, logistics, scientific research and other fields.

[0003] Compared with traditional rigid robotic arms, flexible robotic arms can perform fine movements and adapt to complex environments.

[0004] Traditional robotic arms are relatively complex to operate, generally requiring operators to observe and operate in real time, or can only move and turn according to specific procedures. This results in fewer occasions for use and makes it difficult to complete some autonomous auxiliary and support tasks.

[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a high-precision flexible mechanical arm. Summary of the invention

At this time, voice, such as: approach, move away, etc., can be used to control the movement trend of the mechanical claw. The approaching mechanical claw can grab the items in the user's hand, or use the mechanical claw as a support to help the user get up, etc.; the moving away mechanical claw can temporarily grab the items in the user's hand and move away, and return the items when the user needs them, or you can put the support base in place and observe other platforms through camera 2 first, such as: the location of the bedside medicine cabinet; in this way, the mechanical arm can be awakened by sound or gesture to let the electric The flexible arm drives the mechanical claw to grab the medicine, and then observes the user's position through camera 2, and hands the medicine to a position where the user can take it. After the medicine is used up, the medicine is taken back and put back in place. During the operation, the electric flexible arm can still be kept vertical so that camera 2 can observe the surroundings. During the operation, when the doctor hands out the used surgical instruments, the electric flexible arm can be used to control the mechanical claw to grab the surgical instruments directly through this gesture or by adding a voice wake-up device, and return the surgical instruments to the surgical instrument storage platform. Then, according to the doctor's voice instructions, the required surgical instruments are taken and moved to the doctor's side.

Multiple expansion sleeves 13 are connected by a series ring 18. The expansion sleeves 13 can be bent and deformed. The expansion sleeves 13 are originally convex. When squeezed, they will be squeezed outward. In this way, when the deflection table 12 is bent, the expansion sleeves 13 will only bulge outward, and will not be squeezed inward to affect the steel cable 16. The power disc 19 is arranged between adjacent deflection tables 12, and the number of installations is determined according to demand. The two transmission gears 23 rotate, and the transmission gears 23 will move on the surface of the gear disc 26, and finally the two separation discs 22 will rotate relative to each other. The two separation discs 22 of the power disc 19 can rotate relative to each other, so that the bending angle of the electric flexible arm 3 is greatly increased, so as to adapt to more use occasions. Since the series ring 18 and the steering disc 17 are rotatably connected, the rotation of the deflection table 12 will not affect the expansion sleeve 13; The two transmission gears 23 are driven to rotate by the driving motor 25 . Since the connecting rod 24 clamps the two separation discs 22 , the transmission gears 23 move on the surface of the gear disc 26 , and finally the two separation discs 22 rotate relative to each other.
