Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of precision driving, and in particular relates to a friction differential quadruped-driven planar universal bionic stepping piezoelectric actuator. Background Art
[0002] Precision drive technology is a key technology in modern industrial automation and high-end manufacturing, widely used in high-tech industries such as semiconductor manufacturing, optical instruments, medical devices, robotics, and aerospace. The core of precision drive technology lies in achieving high-precision, high-speed, and high-stability motion control of mechanical systems to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of modern industry for machining accuracy, production efficiency, and reliability. While traditional mechanical drive technologies (such as stepper motors and servo motors) can achieve a certain level of motion control accuracy, their performance in ultra-precision applications is often limited by factors such as mechanical structure clearance, friction, and inertia, making it difficult to meet the high-precision and high-dynamic response requirements. In contrast, piezoelectric drive technology, a key technology in the precision drive field, offers significant advantages such as high precision, high response speed, lack of mechanical friction, and compact structure. It is widely used in precision positioning, micro-nano machining, optical adjustment, biomedical engineering, aerospace, and other fields. Piezoelectric drive technology plays an irreplaceable role in applications requiring submicron or even nanometer precision. Among them, piezoelectric stepping actuators based on the stepping principle are mainly divided into inchworm-type piezoelectric actuators, seal-type piezoelectric actuators and inertial piezoelectric actuators according to their different structural compositions and driving principles.
[0003] The existing seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator is mainly composed of a feed unit, a continuous clamping unit and an intermittent clamping unit. The design of the intermittent clamping unit causes the seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator to have a large parasitic displacement and a single degree of freedom, which is not conducive to high-resolution multi-degree-of-freedom motion.
[0004] Based on the differential principle, the present invention cancels the clamping action of the existing seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator, eliminates parasitic displacement, and makes the actuator movement more precise. Through compact structural design and different control voltage signals, it solves the problem of single degree of freedom of the seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator and realizes integrated cross-scale stepping motion with multiple degrees of freedom of planar universal linear-rotation. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problems of the existing seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator, such as single degree of freedom, complex structure and large parasitic displacement, and proposes a friction differential quadruped-driven planar universal bionic stepping piezoelectric actuator.
[0006] A friction differential quadruped-driven planar universal bionic stepping piezoelectric actuator comprises a driving mechanism A, a driving mechanism B, a driving mechanism C, a driving mechanism D, an output terminal A, an output terminal B, an output terminal C, an output terminal D and a support frame;
[0007] The support frame is a four-pointed star structure, and the ends of the four corners of the support frame are fixedly connected to output terminal A, output terminal B, output terminal C, and output terminal D respectively;
[0008] A driving mechanism A is fixedly connected between the output terminal A and the output terminal D;
[0009] A driving mechanism B is fixedly connected between the output terminal A and the output terminal B;
[0010] A driving mechanism C is fixedly connected between the output terminal B and the output terminal C;
[0011] A driving mechanism D is fixedly connected between the output terminal C and the output terminal D;
[0012] The drive mechanism A includes two pairs of piezoelectric chips, two drive hinges, a drive support, and a drive foot. The ends of the two drive hinges that are away from each other are fixedly connected to the output end D and the output end A, respectively. The ends of the two drive hinges that are close to each other are both fixedly connected to the drive support.
[0013] Two pairs of piezoelectric chips are connected to the two sides of the two driving hinges of the driving mechanism A respectively;
[0014] The drive foot includes a set ball screw, which is installed in the adjustment threaded hole in the center of the drive support;
[0015] Drive mechanisms A, B, C, and D can complete displacement in any direction in sequence. Due to the existence of friction / torque difference, each drive mechanism returns to its initial state one by one after displacement without affecting the entire actuator. By repeating this process in a continuous cycle, the actuator can achieve cross-scale plane universal stepping linear motion or stepping rotational motion.
[0016] Preferably, the driving foot further includes a fastening nut and a spring washer, and the spring washer and the fastening nut are sequentially mounted on the fixed ball screw.
[0017] Preferably, there is a through threaded hole in the center of the support frame, and there is a through threaded hole on the output end A, output end B, output end C, and output end D. The through threaded holes are used to connect external devices to output motion and power outward.
[0018] Preferably, the ceramic bead end of the fixed ball screw is in frictional contact with the working plane. By adjusting the fixed ball screw, the four driving feet can be leveled so that the pressure of each driving foot on the working plane is the same. The spring washer and the fastening nut can fasten the fixed ball screw to the driving support.
[0019] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0020] Friction / torque difference is generated by four evenly arranged driving mechanisms, thereby realizing planar universal stepping linear motion and stepping rotary motion at the output end by utilizing the differential principle. This design eliminates the parasitic displacement caused by the clamping motion of the existing seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator, has high precision, and solves the problem of single degree of freedom of the seal-type piezoelectric stepping actuator through compact structural design and different control voltage signals, realizing integrated cross-scale stepping motion with multiple degrees of freedom of planar universal linear-rotation.

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work are protected by this application.
[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a friction differential quadruped-driven planar universal bionic stepping piezoelectric actuator includes a driving mechanism A1, a driving mechanism B7, a driving mechanism C9, a driving mechanism D11, an output end A6, an output end B8, an output end C10, an output end D13 and a support frame 12;
[0039] The support frame 12 is a four-pointed star-shaped structure, which is responsible for supporting the structure of the entire actuator. The ends of the four corners of the support frame 12 are fixedly connected to the output terminal A6, the output terminal B8, the output terminal C10, and the output terminal D13 respectively;
[0040] A driving mechanism A1 is fixedly connected between the output terminal A6 and the output terminal D13;
[0041] A driving mechanism B7 is fixedly connected between the output terminal A6 and the output terminal B8;
[0042] A driving mechanism C9 is fixedly connected between the output terminal B8 and the output terminal C10;
[0043] A driving mechanism D11 is fixedly connected between the output terminal C10 and the output terminal D13;
[0044] The drive mechanism A1 includes two pairs of piezoelectric chips 2, two drive hinges 3, a drive support 5, and a drive foot 4. The ends of the two drive hinges 3 that are away from each other are fixedly connected to the output terminal D13 and the output terminal A6, respectively. The ends of the two drive hinges 3 that are close to each other are both fixedly connected to the drive support 5.
[0045] Two pairs of piezoelectric chips 2 are glued to the two sides of the two driving hinges 3 of the driving mechanism A1;
[0046] The driving foot 4 includes a fixed ball screw 16, a fastening nut 15, and a spring washer 14. The fixed ball screw 16 is installed in the adjustment threaded hole in the center of the driving support 5, and the spring washer 14 and the fastening nut 15 are installed on the fixed ball screw 16 in sequence;
[0047] Drive mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 can complete displacement in any direction in a timed sequence. Due to the existence of friction / torque difference, each drive mechanism returns to its initial state one by one after displacement without affecting the entire actuator. By repeating this process continuously, the actuator can achieve cross-scale plane universal stepping linear motion or stepping rotational motion.
[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, further, the two pairs of piezoelectric chips 2 used in the driving mechanism A1 are piezoelectric chip A1-1, piezoelectric chip B1-2, piezoelectric chip C1-3, and piezoelectric chip D1-4;
[0049] The piezoelectric chip A1-1 and the piezoelectric chip B1-2 are symmetrically glued on both sides of a driving hinge 3 in the driving mechanism A1;

[0052] The piezoelectric chip E2-1 and the piezoelectric chip F2-2 are symmetrically glued on both sides of a driving hinge 3 in the driving mechanism B7;
[0053] The piezoelectric chip G2-3 and the piezoelectric chip H2-4 are symmetrically glued on both sides of another driving hinge 3 in the driving mechanism B7;
[0054] The two pairs of piezoelectric chips 2 used by the driving mechanism C9 are piezoelectric chip I3-1, piezoelectric chip J3-2, piezoelectric chip K3-3, and piezoelectric chip L3-4;
[0055] The piezoelectric chip I3-1 and the piezoelectric chip J3-2 are symmetrically glued on both sides of a driving hinge 3 in the driving mechanism C9;

[0058] The piezoelectric chip M4-1 and the piezoelectric chip N4-2 are symmetrically glued on both sides of a driving hinge 3 in the driving mechanism D11;
[0059] The piezoelectric chip P4-3 and the piezoelectric chip Q4-4 are symmetrically glued on both sides of another driving hinge 3 in the driving mechanism D11.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, further, there is a through threaded hole in the center of the support frame 12, and there is a through threaded hole on the output end A6, the output end B8, the output end C10, and the output end D13. The through threaded holes are used to connect external devices to output motion and power outward.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, further, the ceramic ball end of the fixed ball screw 16 is in friction contact with the working plane. By adjusting the fixed ball screw 16, the four driving feet 4 can be leveled so that the pressure of each driving foot 4 on the working plane is the same. The spring washer 14 and the fastening nut 15 can fasten the fixed ball screw 16 to the driving support 5.
[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the other structures of the driving mechanism A1, the driving mechanism B7, the driving mechanism C9 and the driving mechanism D11 except the piezoelectric chip 2 and the driving foot 4, as well as the output end A6, the output end B8, the output end C10, the output end D13 and the support frame 12 are all integrally processed from a whole piece of elastic metal material.
[0063] The working principle of the circular motion trajectory of a single drive mechanism of the present invention (taking drive mechanism A1 as an example) is as follows:
[0064] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a simplified diagram of the driving mechanism A1 structure, where the red line represents the driving mechanism A1 in its original position, the black line represents the driving mechanism A1 in its moved position, and the dotted line represents the circular motion trajectory that the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism A1 can complete.
[0065] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, when the driving mechanism A1 moves in the positive direction of the X-axis, that is, in the direction with an angle of 0° with the X-axis, the piezoelectric chips B1-2 and C1-3 are input with voltage U1, and the piezoelectric chips A1-1 and D1-4 are input with voltage -U1. Under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the piezoelectric chips B1-2 and C1-3 gradually extend, and the piezoelectric chips A1-1 and D1-4 gradually shorten, driving the driving hinge 3 to bend, thereby driving the driving foot 4 to complete a linear motion in the positive direction of the X-axis, that is, in the direction with an angle of 0° with the X-axis, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 (a)
[0066] like Figure 1-Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the driving mechanism A1 moves in the direction of 45° with the X-axis, the piezoelectric chip A1-1 inputs voltage U3, the piezoelectric chip B1-2 inputs voltage -U3, the piezoelectric chip C1-3 inputs voltage U2, and the piezoelectric chip D1-4 inputs voltage -U2. Under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the piezoelectric chips A1-1 and C1-3 gradually extend, and the piezoelectric chips B1-2 and D1-4 gradually shorten, driving the driving hinge 3 to bend, thereby driving the driving foot 4 to complete a linear motion in the direction of 45° with the X-axis, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 (b)
[0067] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, when the driving mechanism A1 moves in the positive direction of the Y axis, that is, in the direction at an angle of 90° to the X axis, the piezoelectric chips A1-1 and C1-3 are input with voltage U1, and the piezoelectric chips B1-2 and D1-4 are input with voltage -U1. Under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the piezoelectric chips A1-1 and C1-3 gradually extend, and the piezoelectric chips B1-2 and D1-4 gradually shorten, driving the driving hinge 3 to bend, thereby driving the driving foot 4 to complete a linear motion in the positive direction of the Y axis, that is, in the direction at an angle of 90° to the X axis, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 (c)
[0068] To sum up, by applying different control voltage signals to each piezoelectric chip of the driving mechanism A1, the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism A1 can realize linear motion in the directions of 0°, 45°, and 90° with the X-axis. Similarly, by applying different control voltage signals to each piezoelectric chip of the driving mechanism A1, the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism A1 can realize linear motion in any angle direction and reach any point on the circular motion trajectory. It will not be repeated here. Moreover, since the structural configuration of the driving mechanism B7, the driving mechanism C9, and the driving mechanism D11 are exactly the same as that of the driving mechanism A1, each can also realize linear motion in any angle direction, which will not be repeated here.
[0069] Working principle of the present invention:
[0070] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, in the initial state, by adjusting the fixed ball screws 16 on the four driving feet 4, the pressure of the four driving feet 4 on the working plane is made equal, that is, the maximum static friction between the driving mechanism A1, the driving mechanism B7, the driving mechanism C9, and the driving mechanism D11 and the working plane is equal, and then the fixed ball screws 16 are tightened by the spring washer 14 and the fastening nut 15, that is, the driving feet 4 are tightened;
[0071] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, when the actuator moves in the positive direction of the X axis, that is, in the direction of the angle 0° with the X axis, the piezoelectric chip A1-1 and the piezoelectric chip D1-4 adopt the following Figure 5 The I-type control voltage shown in the figure, the piezoelectric chip B1-2 and the piezoelectric chip C1-3 adopt the following Figure 5 The II type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip F2-2 and the piezoelectric chip H2-4 adopt the following Figure 5 The III type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip E2-1 and the piezoelectric chip G2-3 adopt the following Figure 5 The IV type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip I3-1 and the piezoelectric chip L3-4 adopt the following Figure 5 The V-type control voltage shown in the figure, the piezoelectric chip J3-2 and the piezoelectric chip K3-3 adopt the following Figure 5 The VI type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip M4-1, the piezoelectric chip P4-3 adopts the following Figure 5 The VII type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip N4-2, the piezoelectric chip Q4-4 adopts the following Figure 5 The eight pairs of piezoelectric chips, driven by the control voltage signal, can control the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 to produce sequential displacements, so that the actuator can complete the stepping linear motion in the positive direction of the X-axis, that is, in the direction of the angle 0° with the X-axis, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown;
[0072] The specific movement process of the present invention when moving in the positive direction of the X-axis, that is, in the direction with an angle of 0° with the X-axis, is as follows:
[0073] 1. During the 0-T / 5 process, the voltage of piezoelectric chip A1-1, piezoelectric chip D1-4, piezoelectric chip F2-2, piezoelectric chip H2-4, piezoelectric chip I3-1, piezoelectric chip L3-4, piezoelectric chip M4-1, and piezoelectric chip P4-3 rises linearly from 0 to U1, and the voltage of piezoelectric chip B1-2, piezoelectric chip C1-3, piezoelectric chip E2-1, piezoelectric chip G2-3, piezoelectric chip J3-2, piezoelectric chip K3-3, piezoelectric chip N4-2, and piezoelectric chip Q4-4 drops linearly from 0 to -U1; Figure 1-3 and Figure 5 、 Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1 , under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the piezoelectric wafer A1-1, the piezoelectric wafer D1-4, the piezoelectric wafer F2-2, the piezoelectric wafer H2-4, the piezoelectric wafer I3-1, the piezoelectric wafer L3-4, the piezoelectric wafer M4-1, and the piezoelectric wafer P4-3 gradually extend, and the piezoelectric wafer B1-2, the piezoelectric wafer C1-3, the piezoelectric wafer E2-1, the piezoelectric wafer G2-3, the piezoelectric wafer J3-2, the piezoelectric wafer K3-3, the piezoelectric wafer N4-2, and the piezoelectric wafer Q4-4 gradually shorten, causing the driving hinges 3 of the driving mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 to bend, and the four driving feet 4 all tend to move in the negative direction of the X-axis. However, due to the existence of friction, the four driving feet 4 are fixed, thereby causing the output terminals A6, B8, C10, D13, and the support frame 12 to simultaneously generate a positive displacement ∆ L in the X-axis.
[0074] 2. During the T / 5-2T / 5 process, the voltage of piezoelectric chip A1-1 and piezoelectric chip D1-4 decreases linearly from U1 to 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip B1-2 and piezoelectric chip C1-3 increases linearly from -U1 to 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip F2-2, piezoelectric chip H2-4, piezoelectric chip I3-1, piezoelectric chip L3-4, piezoelectric chip M4-1, and piezoelectric chip P4-3 remains unchanged at U1, and the voltage of piezoelectric chip E2-1, piezoelectric chip G2-3, piezoelectric chip J3-2, piezoelectric chip K3-3, piezoelectric chip N4-2, and piezoelectric chip Q4-4 remains unchanged at -U1; as Figure 1-3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8As shown, under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the other piezoelectric chips remain in the same state, and the piezoelectric chips A1-1, B1-2, C1-3, and D1-4 gradually return to their initial states, driving the driving hinge 3 of the driving mechanism A1 to bend, thereby driving the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism A1 to return to its initial position. Since the sum of the static friction forces of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms B7, C9, and D11 on the moving plane is greater than the maximum static friction force of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanism A1 on the moving plane, the positions of the output terminals A6, B8, C10, D13, and the support frame 12 remain unchanged.
[0075] 3. During the 2T / 5-3T / 5 process, the voltage of piezoelectric chip A1-1, piezoelectric chip B1-2, piezoelectric chip C1-3, and piezoelectric chip D1-4 is 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip F2-2 and piezoelectric chip H2-4 decreases linearly from U1 to 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip E2-1 and piezoelectric chip G2-3 increases linearly from -U1 to 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip I3-1, piezoelectric chip L3-4, piezoelectric chip M4-1, and piezoelectric chip P4-3 remains unchanged at U1, and the voltage of piezoelectric chip J3-2, piezoelectric chip K3-3, piezoelectric chip N4-2, and piezoelectric chip Q4-4 remains unchanged at -U1; as shown in FIG.

Since the sum of the static friction forces of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms A1, C9, and D11 on the moving plane is greater than the maximum static friction force of the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism B7 on the moving plane, the positions of the output terminals A6, B8, C10, D13 and the support frame 12 remain unchanged;
[0076] 4. During the 3T / 5-4T / 5 process, the voltage of piezoelectric chip A1-1, piezoelectric chip B1-2, piezoelectric chip C1-3, piezoelectric chip D1-4, piezoelectric chip E2-1, piezoelectric chip F2-2, piezoelectric chip G2-3, and piezoelectric chip H2-4 is 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip I3-1 and piezoelectric chip L3-4 decreases linearly from U1 to 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip J3-2 and piezoelectric chip K3-3 increases linearly from -U1 to 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip M4-1 and piezoelectric chip P4-3 remains unchanged at U1, and the voltage of piezoelectric chip N4-2 and piezoelectric chip Q4-4 remains unchanged at -U1; as shown in FIG. Figure 1-3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8As shown, under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the other piezoelectric chips remain in the same state, and the piezoelectric chip I3-1, the piezoelectric chip J3-2, the piezoelectric chip K3-3, and the piezoelectric chip L3-4 gradually return to the initial state, driving the driving hinge 3 of the driving mechanism C9 to bend, thereby driving the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism C9 to return to the initial position. Since the sum of the static friction forces of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms A1, B7, and D11 on the moving plane is greater than the maximum static friction force of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanism C9 on the moving plane, the positions of the output terminals A6, B8, C10, D13, and the support frame 12 remain unchanged;
[0077] 5. During the 4T / 5-T process, the voltage of piezoelectric chip A1-1, piezoelectric chip B1-2, piezoelectric chip C1-3, piezoelectric chip D1-4, piezoelectric chip E2-1, piezoelectric chip F2-2, piezoelectric chip G2-3, piezoelectric chip H2-4, piezoelectric chip I3-1, piezoelectric chip J3-2, piezoelectric chip K3-3, and piezoelectric chip L3-4 is 0, the voltage of piezoelectric chip M4-1 and piezoelectric chip P4-3 decreases linearly from U1 to 0, and the voltage of piezoelectric chip N4-2 and piezoelectric chip Q4-4 increases linearly from -U1 to 0; as shown in FIG. Figure 1-3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 As shown, under the action of the inverse piezoelectric effect, the other piezoelectric chips remain in the same state, and the piezoelectric chip M4-1, the piezoelectric chip N4-2, the piezoelectric chip P4-3, and the piezoelectric chip Q4-4 gradually return to their initial state, driving the driving hinge 3 of the driving mechanism D11 to bend, thereby driving the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism D11 to return to its initial position. Since the sum of the static friction forces of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms A1, B7, and C9 on the moving plane is greater than the maximum static friction force of the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism D11 on the moving plane, the positions of the output terminals A6, B8, C10, D13, and the support frame 12 remain unchanged.
[0078] After a single cycle of motion, the actuator's drive mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 complete their movement in a sequential manner, completing the actuator's positive displacement along the X-axis. Due to friction, each drive mechanism returns to its initial position after completing its movement without affecting the entire actuator. This process is repeated repeatedly, enabling the actuator to achieve long-range, cross-scale, stepping linear motion. By applying a reverse drive voltage to the piezoelectric chip, the actuator can achieve stepping motion along the negative X-axis, or at a 180° angle to the X-axis. This process will not be further described here.
[0079] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, when the actuator moves in the positive direction of the Y axis, that is, in the direction of 90° with the X axis, the piezoelectric chip B1-2 and the piezoelectric chip D1-4 adopt the following Figure 5 The I-type control voltage shown in the figure, the piezoelectric chip A1-1 and the piezoelectric chip C1-3 adopt the following Figure 5 The II type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip F2-2, the piezoelectric chip G2-3 adopts Figure 5 The III type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip E2-1 and the piezoelectric chip H2-4 adopt the following Figure 5 The IV type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip I3-1 and the piezoelectric chip K3-3 adopt the following Figure 5 The V-type control voltage shown in the figure, the piezoelectric chip J3-2 and the piezoelectric chip L3-4 adopt the following Figure 5 The VI type control voltage shown in the figure, the piezoelectric chip N4-2 and the piezoelectric chip P4-3 adopt the following Figure 5 The VII type control voltage shown, the piezoelectric chip M4-1, the piezoelectric chip Q4-4 adopts the following Figure 5 The eight pairs of piezoelectric chips, driven by the control voltage signal, can control the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 to produce sequential displacements, so that the actuator can complete the stepping linear motion in the positive direction of the Y axis, that is, in the direction of the angle of 90° with the X axis, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown;
[0080] The specific movement process of the present invention when moving in the direction of the positive direction of the Y axis and the angle of 90° between the X axis is as follows:

Since the sum of the static friction forces of the driving feet 4 of the driving mechanisms A1, C9, and D11 on the moving plane is greater than the maximum static friction force of the driving foot 4 of the driving mechanism B7 on the moving plane, the positions of the output terminals A6, B8, C10, D13 and the support frame 12 remain unchanged;

[0086] After a single cycle of motion, drive mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 complete their movements in sequence, completing the actuator's positive displacement along the Y-axis. Due to friction, each drive mechanism returns to its initial position after completing its movement without affecting the entire actuator. This process repeats continuously, enabling the actuator to achieve long-range, cross-scale, step-by-step linear motion. By applying a reverse drive voltage to the piezoelectric chip, the actuator can achieve stepping motion along the negative Y-axis, or at a 270° angle to the X-axis. This process will not be further described here.

[0094] After one cycle of the actuator's motion, drive mechanisms A1, B7, C9, and D11 complete their movement in a timed sequence, completing a displacement ∆L in the direction of a 45° angle with the X-axis. Due to friction, each drive mechanism returns to its initial position after completing its motion without affecting the entire actuator. This process is repeated repeatedly, enabling the actuator to achieve long-range, cross-scale stepping linear motion. By applying a reverse drive voltage to the piezoelectric chip, the actuator can achieve stepping linear motion in the negative direction of a 45° angle with the X-axis, or 225° with the X-axis. This will not be further explained here.
[0095] To summarize, according to the principle of friction differential, by applying different control voltage signals to each piezoelectric chip of drive mechanism A1, drive mechanism B7, drive mechanism C9, and drive mechanism D11, the actuator can complete step linear motion along the directions of 0°, 45°, 90°, 180°, 225°, and 270° with the X-axis. Similarly, for the remaining angles, by applying control voltage signals of different directions and magnitudes to each piezoelectric chip of drive mechanism A1, drive mechanism B7, drive mechanism C9, and drive mechanism D11, linear motion at any angle can be achieved. This will not be repeated here.
