Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent robots, and in particular to a rigid-flexible hybrid drive robot hand with palm-finger coordinated motion function. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of modern technology, prosthetic technology has made significant progress in helping people with physical disabilities regain some functional ability. Existing prosthetic robotic hands are primarily humanoid in design, aiming to mimic the dexterity and naturalness of the human hand as closely as possible. However, the following issues are common with prosthetic hands currently on the market:
[0003] Insufficient finger coordination: Existing prosthetic robotic hands use traditional drive methods and structural designs, typically only capable of simple movements of individual knuckles. However, the movements of the fingers and palm are complex and collaborative, and individually driven control methods make it difficult to achieve the natural and flexible grasping movements of a real human hand. This is especially true for delicate operations such as grasping objects and pinching, as traditional prosthetic robotic hands often lack sufficient flexibility and precision.
[0004] Complex drive systems: Existing prosthetic fingers mostly rely on complex multiple drive sources, using electric or pneumatic drive systems. Electric drive systems, in particular, typically require complex motors, transmission devices, and a large number of control components. This not only increases the cost and weight of the equipment, but also increases manufacturing and maintenance costs. It also increases the wearer's burden and affects the wearer's comfort in daily activities. This is especially true after prolonged use, which can easily lead to arm fatigue and discomfort.
[0005] Limitations of humanoid size: Existing prosthetic robotic hands differ significantly from the human hand in terms of size and proportion, particularly in the palm, which often struggles to achieve natural proportions similar to the human body. Furthermore, the palm length, joint spacing, and relative motion between joints all fail to achieve the enveloping function of a human hand, making them unable to meet the adaptive, enveloping grasping requirements of the wearer.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rigid-flexible hybrid drive robot hand with palm-finger coordinated motion function includes a palm component and five finger components. Specifically:
[0023] The finger assembly consists of two parts: a control mechanism and a shell. The control mechanism includes a base 1, an arc-shaped connecting rod 2, an intermediate connecting pin 3, an upper swing rod 4, a top connecting pin 5, a tendon rope 7, a driving wheel 8, a lower swing rod 9, a root joint shaft 11, a sleeve 12, a transfer connecting rod 13, a torsion spring 14, an intermediate joint shaft 15 and a top joint shaft 17; the shell includes a root end finger joint shell 19, an intermediate finger joint shell 20 and a tip finger joint shell 21.
[0024] The palm assembly includes a rigid frame 1 24 , a rigid frame 25 , a rigid frame 3 26 , a rigid frame 4 27 and three flexible connecting frames 28 .
[0025] Combine Figure 1As shown, the base 1 serves as the root connector of the finger assembly. Its bottom is provided with mounting holes for easy installation and fixation with the palm assembly. Its top extends forward and is provided with a connecting ear at the front end for connection to the lower swing rod 9. A through hole is provided laterally at the rear end of the top for installation of the root joint shaft 11. The bottom of the lower swing rod 9 and the connecting ear at the front end of the top of the base 1 are hingedly connected by a pin to form a revolving pair. The top of the lower swing rod 9 is laterally fixed with an intermediate connecting pin 3 for connection to the intermediate finger joint housing 20. The sleeve 12 is slidably mounted on the lower swing rod 9 to form a moving pair. A positioning shaft is integrally provided on the side of the bottom of the outer wall of the sleeve 12 for connection to the arc-shaped connecting rod 2. The base joint shaft 11 is rotatably inserted into a through-hole at the top rear end of the base 1. The drive wheel 8 is coaxially connected and fixed to the base joint shaft 11. An eccentric shaft is integrally mounted at the rear end of the wheel face of the drive wheel 8 on the same side as the positioning shaft. The curved connecting rod 2 has axial holes at both ends and is articulated with the eccentric shaft of the drive wheel 8 and the positioning shaft of the sleeve 12, respectively, to form a revolving pair. A winding groove is formed at the top of the circumference of the drive wheel 8, and its rear end is fixedly connected to one end of the tendon 7. The other end of the tendon 7 passes through the winding groove and is led downward from the front end of the drive wheel 8 to transmit the motion and force output by the winding motor. The tendon 7 controls the rotation of the drive wheel 8, which is transmitted to the sleeve 12 via the curved connecting rod 2, achieving sliding of the sleeve 12 and forward swinging of the lower swing arm 9. The transfer link 13 is arranged obliquely in the front-to-back direction, above and adjacent to the front end of the lower swing arm 9. Its front end is provided with a connecting lug for connection to the upper swing arm 4, and its rear end has a transverse through-hole for mounting the intermediate joint shaft 15. The connecting ears at the bottom of the upper swing link 4 and the front end of the transfer link 13 are hingedly connected via a pin, forming a revolute joint. A top connecting pin 5 is laterally fixed to the top of the upper swing link 4, connecting the tip knuckle housing 21. Motion and force are transmitted through the transfer link 13, while the upper swing link 4 and the lower swing link 9 are staggered, ensuring that their working spaces are not in the same plane, thereby preventing structural interference during the grasping action. The intermediate joint shaft 15 is rotatably inserted into the through-hole at the rear end of the transfer link 13. The top joint shaft 17 is arranged laterally above and adjacent to the front end of the upper swing link 4. The torsion spring 14 is mounted on the intermediate joint shaft 15 and connected to the intermediate knuckle housing 20, providing a torque to the intermediate joint shaft 15 opposite the grasping direction, enabling under-actuated grasping and automatic reset after grasping. This under-actuated mechanism enables proportional coupled motion during grasping, as well as continued motion of the tip knuckle housing 21 after the intermediate knuckle housing 20 contacts the grasped object.
[0026] Combine Figure 2As shown, the root knuckle shell 19, the middle knuckle shell 20 and the tip knuckle shell 21 are respectively mounted on the outside of the lower swing rod 9, the upper swing rod 4 and the top joint shaft 17. The bottom two sides of the root knuckle shell 19 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the root joint shaft 11 through bearings to form a rotation pair; the bottom two sides of the middle knuckle shell 20 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the middle joint shaft 15 through bearings to form a rotation pair. At the same time, pin holes are provided on the two sides of the bottom of the middle knuckle shell 20 at positions corresponding to the middle connecting pin 3. The top of the lower swing rod 9 is connected to the pin holes on the two sides of the bottom of the middle knuckle shell 20 through the middle connecting pin 3 to form a rotation pair, which transmits the movement and force of the lower swing rod 9 to the middle knuckle shell 20, thereby pushing the middle knuckle shell 20 to rotate around the middle joint shaft 15. Rotation. In addition, an installation position is set on the inner wall of the middle finger joint shell 20 to install and fix the torsion spring 14; the two sides of the bottom of the tip finger joint shell 21 are rotatably connected with the two ends of the top joint shaft 17 through bearings to form a rotating pair. At the same time, pin holes are opened on both sides of the bottom of the tip finger joint shell 21 at positions corresponding to the top connecting pin 5, and the top of the upper swing rod 4 is connected with the pin holes on both sides of the bottom of the tip finger joint shell 21 through the top connecting pin 5 to form a rotating pair, which transmits the movement and force of the upper swing rod 4 to the tip finger joint shell 21, thereby pushing the tip finger joint shell 21 to rotate around the top joint shaft 17.
[0027] Combine Figures 1 and 2 As shown, in order to improve the precise control of the finger assembly, a sensing system can be integrated. The sensing system includes a sensing communication module 6 and a root angle sensor 10, a top angle sensor 16, a proximity sensor 18, and strain gauges 1 22 and 23 that are connected and communicated with the sensor communication module 6. The sensor communication module 6 is arranged near the top joint shaft 17 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tip knuckle shell 21. The proximity sensor 18 is mounted on the front surface of the sensor communication module 6 to measure the proximity information between the tip knuckle shell 21 and the grasped object. A window is provided at the front end of the tip knuckle shell 21 to expose the proximity sensor 18 to the outside. The root angle sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the root knuckle shell 19 and is sleeved on the root joint shaft 11 to measure the rotational position information of the drive wheel 8 relative to the root knuckle shell 19. The top angle sensor 16 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the tip knuckle shell 21 and is mounted on the top joint shaft 17 to measure the rotational position information of the tip knuckle shell 21 relative to the top joint shaft 17; a positioning beam is set on the top of the middle knuckle shell 20, and a nesting hole is set horizontally on the top of the positioning beam to be rotatably connected to the top joint shaft 17. The strain gauge 1 22 and the strain gauge 2 23 are respectively fixed on the front end and side of the positioning beam. When grasping, it is subjected to the reaction force of the grasped object, and the force condition of the positioning beam can be measured by the strain gauge 1 22 and the strain gauge 2 23.
[0028] Compared with a single rope drive or connecting rod rotation, this hybrid transmission mechanism of connecting rod and tendon rope mechanism combines the characteristics of tendon rope drive such as freedom of mode and spatial guidance with the characteristics of high connecting rod stiffness and determined motion trajectory, thereby realizing free grasping of prosthetic robot fingers.
[0029] Combine Figure 3 As shown, the rigid skeleton one 24, the rigid skeleton two 25, the rigid skeleton three 26 and the rigid skeleton four 27 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the palm component, and the rigid skeleton one 24 and the rigid skeleton two 25, the rigid skeleton two 25 and the rigid skeleton three 26, and the rigid skeleton three 26 and the rigid skeleton four 27 are respectively connected to form a palm as a whole through a flexible connecting frame 28 in a detachable assembly manner, such as by using a slide rail that fits tightly together, wherein the edges of the rigid skeleton one 24 and the rigid skeleton four 27 can be integrally provided with a curved clamping portion, so as to play a certain clamping and positioning role on the grasped object when the two ends of the palm component are bent inward and enveloped. In addition, in order to realize the winding arrangement of the tendon rope 7 in the finger assembly and the bending envelope of the palm assembly, a rotating wheel 29 is installed at the same height at the top inner side of the rigid frame 1 24, the rigid frame 25, the rigid frame 3 26 and the rigid frame 4 27, respectively, a changing wheel 1 30 is installed on the inner side of the rigid frame 1 24, adjacent to the position below the corresponding rotating wheel 29, a changing wheel 2 31 is installed at the inner bottom end of the rigid frame 1 24, and a changing wheel 3 32 is installed at the inner bottom end of the rigid frame 3 26, so that the three changing wheels are arranged in an L shape between the rotating wheel 29 at the tail end and the bottom of the winding motor 33.
[0030] Combine Figures 3 and 4As shown, when the five finger assemblies are assembled with the palm assembly, a winding motor 33 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the inner side of rigid frame 3 26. The output end of the winding motor 33 is connected to the transmission winding wheel 35 via reducer 1 34. A deflection motor 36 is fixedly mounted at the inner bottom end of rigid frame 4 27. The output end of the deflection motor 36 is connected to the transmission rotary joint 38 via reducer 2 37. The bases 1 of the four finger assemblies, excluding the thumb, are respectively connected and fixed to the tops of rigid frames 1 24, 25, 36, and 4 27 via screws. The lead-out ends of the tendon ropes 7 of the four finger assemblies are first turned by the corresponding rotating wheels 29, and then collectively changed direction by the changing wheels 1 30, 2 31, and 3 32 in sequence, before finally being connected and fixed to the winding wheel 35. The base 1 of the thumb's finger assembly is connected and fixed to the rotary joint 38 via screws, and the lead-out end of the tendon 7 of the finger assembly passes through the guide tube 39 and the limit ring 40 in sequence, then changes direction upward and is then connected and fixed to the winding wheel 35. The middle position of the outer wall of the guide tube 39 is hinged to the corresponding position of the rotary joint 38. The limit ring 40 is fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the palm assembly and is located between the winding motor 33 and the rotary joint 38. The guide tube 39 and the limit ring 40 constrain the movement path of the tendon 7, reducing its free space to prevent the tendon 7 from interfering with other structures during the thumb's swing. Among them, the rotating wheel 29, the direction-changing wheel 1 30, the direction-changing wheel 2 31, the direction-changing wheel 32, the guide tube 39, and the limit ring 40 together constitute a tendon guide and limit mechanism to achieve reasonable guidance and constraint of the spatial position of each tendon 7. The winding motor 33 rotates the winding wheel 35, transmitting motion and force through the winding tendons 7 to the five finger assemblies, achieving bending. Simultaneously, the tendons 7 of the five finger assemblies force the flexible connecting frame 28 to bend, tightening and converging the palm assembly inward. Furthermore, the thumb assembly is equipped with a deflection motor 36, which drives the rotation of the swivel joint 38 to control the thumb's swing, achieving a more dexterous grip.
[0031] It is worth mentioning that the deformation stiffness coefficient of the flexible connecting frame 28 should be smaller than the stiffness coefficient of the finger assembly, so that the robot hand can maintain a certain rigidity and not bend in the initial stage when the dexterous hand moves freely and the finger assembly contacts the grasped object. After the bending movement of the finger assembly encounters a certain resistance, the flexible connecting frame 28 begins to perform bending movement, so that the rigid skeleton 1 24 and the rigid skeleton 4 27 at both ends of the palm assembly in the width direction cooperate with the five finger assemblies to adaptively envelop the grasped object.
[0032] The present invention takes humanoid robot dexterous hands and medical rehabilitation prostheses as the application background, and designs a lightweight humanoid dexterous hand, specifically a rigid-flexible hybrid five-finger dexterous hand with palm-finger coordinated movement function. It has under-actuated robot fingers based on a hybrid transmission of connecting rods and tendon mechanisms and a modular rigid-flexible hybrid structure palm. It adopts an innovative driving mechanism. While ensuring the accuracy of humanoid design and size, it can effectively realize the coordinated movement between the palm and fingers, provide flexible grasping function, and solve the problems of traditional prosthetic robot hands such as insufficient humanoid design, poor coordinated movement, complex control, high cost and heavy weight. It has significant advantages in simulation, comfort, operability and cost-effectiveness.
