Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotics, and more particularly to a multi-fingered dexterous hand for a robot with a dual-mode of underactuation and full actuation. Background Technology
[0002] Both robotic arms and humanoid robots require end effectors to interact with the outside world and complete various tasks. Common end effectors include two-finger parallel grippers, welding torches, and grinding heads. However, most of these end effectors are designed for specific tasks and cannot complete various complex tasks in different scenarios such as industrial automation, home service, and special missions.
[0003] The human hand has 21 degrees of freedom, including 5 for the thumb and 4 for each of the four forefingers from the index finger to the little finger. Taking the four forefingers as an example, from proximal to distal, the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP) has two degrees of freedom: flexion / extension and adduction / abduction. The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) and distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) each have one degree of freedom for flexion / extension. These numerous degrees of freedom endow the human hand with powerful manipulative capabilities.
[0004] A dexterous hand is a general-purpose robotic end effector designed to mimic the appearance, structure, and function of a human hand. Currently, common dexterous hands are either underactuated (the number of actuators is less than the number of degrees of freedom) or fully actuated (the number of actuators equals the number of degrees of freedom). The advantages of underactuated hands are simple structure and control, shape adaptability when grasping objects, and the ability to be lightweight and small, resulting in lower cost. The disadvantage is limited functionality, making them difficult to adapt to complex tasks such as dexterous manipulation. The advantages of fully actuated hands are powerful functionality, with each joint actively controllable, theoretically capable of mimicking all human hand movements. The disadvantages are that they are heavier and larger than underactuated hands, have more complex control, and are more expensive. Underactuated and fully actuated dexterous hands are suitable for different tasks, and there is no clear superiority of one over the other. Currently, no single dexterous hand encompasses both modes, allowing users or robots to autonomously select the working mode based on the task. Summary of the Invention

[0166] Reference Figure 10 According to a first embodiment of the present invention, the dexterous hand operates in underdrive mode. The first micro-actuator 1221, the second micro-actuator 1341, and the third micro-actuator 1431 all move to their left extreme positions. The first fork 1222, the second fork 1342, and the third fork 1432 respectively drive the first movable surface gear 1223, the second movable surface gear 1343, and the third movable surface gear 1433 to perform linear motion, thereby separating them from the first fixed surface gear 1224, the second fixed surface gear 1344, and the third fixed surface gear 1434, respectively.

Figure 10The extension tendon E is fixed at the distal phalanx 151 by the way of the third tendon pulley 1231 about one quarter of a circle and changes direction through the corner shaft sleeve 1233, reaches the second tendon pulley 1232 about three quarters of a circle and reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. The flexion tendon B is fixed at the proximal phalanx 111 by the way of the fourth tendon pulley 137 about one quarter of a circle and changes direction through the corner shaft sleeve 1373, reaches the fifth tendon pulley 136 about three quarters of a circle and reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. At the first tendon pulley 1138, the flexion tendon B and the extension tendon E are fused (the flexion tendon B and the extension tendon E cannot be located at the same side of the first tendon pulley 1138). It can be understood that the first driver 1131 indirectly drives the first tendon pulley 1138 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing the underactuated flexion or extension of the finger. Figure 10 The extension tendon E is fixed at the distal phalanx 151 by the way of the third tendon pulley 1231 about one quarter of a circle and changes direction through the corner shaft sleeve 1233, reaches the second tendon pulley 1232 about three quarters of a circle and reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. The flexion tendon B is fixed at the proximal phalanx 111 by the way of the fourth tendon pulley 137 about one quarter of a circle and changes direction through the corner shaft sleeve 1373, reaches the fifth tendon pulley 136 about three quarters of a circle and reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. At the first tendon pulley 1138, the flexion tendon B and the extension tendon E are fused (the flexion tendon B and the extension tendon E cannot be located at the same side of the first tendon pulley 1138). It can be understood that the first driver 1131 indirectly drives the first tendon pulley 1138 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing the underactuated flexion or extension of the finger. Figure 10 The extension tendon E is fixed at the distal phalanx 151 by the way of the third tendon pulley 1231 about one quarter of a circle and changes direction through the corner shaft sleeve 1233, reaches the second tendon pulley 1232 about three quarters of a circle and reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. The flexion tendon B is fixed at the proximal phalanx 111 by the way of the fourth tendon pulley 137 about one quarter of a circle and changes direction through the corner shaft sleeve 1373, reaches the fifth tendon pulley 136 about three quarters of a circle and reaches the first tendon pulley 1138. At the first tendon pulley 1138, the flexion tendon B and the extension tendon E are fused (the flexion tendon B and the extension tendon E cannot be located at the same side of the first tendon pulley 1138). It can be understood that the first driver 1131 indirectly drives the first tendon pulley 1138 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby causing the underactuated flexion or extension of the finger.
[0167] Referring to Figure 11 , according to the second embodiment of the present application, the dexterous hand works in the full drive mode. The first micro driver 1221, the second micro driver 1341, and the third micro driver 1431 are all moved to the right limit position, and the first shift fork 1222, the second shift fork 1342, and the third shift fork 1432 respectively drive the first movable face gear 1223, the second movable face gear 1343, and the third movable face gear 1433 to do linear motion, thereby respectively engaging with the first fixed face gear 1224, the second fixed face gear 1344, and the third fixed face gear 1434. In this case, the third driver 1151, the fourth driver 1331, and the fifth driver 1421 can output torque through gears, worms, worm gears, and face gears to drive the joint to flex / extend.
[0168] Referring to Figure 12, further explain the working principle of the application in switching between the two modes. Take the second face gear clutch assembly 134 as an example, the axial relative distance between the second fixed face gear 1344 and the fourth worm gear 1337 is constant. The second movable face gear 1343 and the second fixed face gear 1344 are both distributed with teeth and tooth grooves, and further, the second movable face gear 1343 is distributed with a spline shaft. The fourth worm gear 1337 is provided with a spline groove, which can not only drive the second movable face gear 1343 to rotate, but also allow the second movable face gear 1343 to slide linearly along the groove. The second fork 1342 can be engaged with the flange on the second movable face gear 1343, thereby driving the second movable face gear 1343 to make axial reciprocating linear motion. In the full drive mode, the second fork 1342 drives the second movable face gear 1343 to mesh with the second fixed face gear 1344, and the torque can be output from the fourth driver 1421, transmitted to the second fixed face gear 1344 through the fourth worm gear 1337, and then drive the joint motion; in the underdrive mode, the second fork 1342 drives the second movable face gear 1343 to separate from the second fixed face gear 1344, and the joint motion is only realized by the tendon motion driven by the first driver 1131.
[0169] Referring to Figure 13 , further explain the superiority of the metacarpophalangeal joint in the dual-mode motion compatibility of the application. To realize underdrive, the bending tendon B, the stretching tendon E, the third tendon pulley 1231, the rotation shaft sleeve 1233, the second tendon pulley 1232 and the first tendon pulley 1138 are needed. Due to the existence of the bearing in the tendon pulley, the motion of the joint in the full drive mode will not excessively affect the displacement of the tendon. To realize the motion of the two degrees of freedom of the metacarpophalangeal joint in the full drive mode, the second drive assembly 114, the third drive assembly 115, the arcuate rod 121, the side swing rocker 125 and the gantry rod 131 are needed. Similarly, in the underdrive mode, due to the existence of the bearing in the gear, the tendon pulley and the worm gear, the displacement of the tendon will not excessively affect the motion of the gear train. In summary, the metacarpophalangeal joint has superiority in dual-mode motion compatibility, which reduces the control complexity.
[0170] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the design idea and characteristics of the application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the application and implement it, and the protection scope of the application is not limited to the above embodiments. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the principles and design ideas disclosed by the application are within the protection scope of the application.
