Detailed implementation manners
[0059] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0060] Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of the palm and back of a dexterous hand provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of the palm side of a dexterous hand provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a finger assembly and a driving assembly provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a driving assembly provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a driving assembly provided by another embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figures 1 to 3 Shown, the dexterous hand 10 includes a palm substrate 100, a plurality of finger assemblies 200, and a plurality of driving assemblies 300.
[0061] The plurality of finger assemblies 200 are connected to the palm substrate 100, and the finger assemblies 200 include a plurality of phalanges 210. The plurality of driving assemblies 300 are disposed on the palm substrate 100 or the phalanges 210 and are respectively connected to at least one phalanx 210 of each of the plurality of finger assemblies 200. The plurality of driving assemblies 300 are configured to drive the plurality of finger assemblies 200 to move, so that the dexterous hand 10 has a high degree of freedom.
[0062] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, the driving assembly 300 includes a driving source 310, a lead screw 320, a lead screw slider 330, and a potentiometer 340. The driving source 310 includes an output shaft 3110. The lead screw 320 is connected to the output shaft 3110 and rotates under the drive of the output shaft 3110. The lead screw slider 330 is screwed to the lead screw 320 and is rotatably connected to the knuckle 210 of the finger assembly 200. The lead screw slider 330 includes an identification hole 3301 penetrating the lead screw slider 330 along the extension direction of the lead screw 320. The potentiometer 340 is inserted into the identification hole 3301. The potentiometer 340 is connected to the side surface of the driving source 310 or one end close to the output shaft 3110 and is arranged parallel to the lead screw 320. The potentiometer 340 is configured to detect the position of the lead screw slider 330.
[0063] In the related art, in order to detect the position of the output shaft 3110 of the driving assembly 300, an encoder needs to be installed at one end of the driving assembly 300 away from the output shaft 3110. The encoder is coaxially arranged with the output shaft 3110, resulting in a larger size of the driving assembly 300 along the axial direction of the output shaft 3110, and thus a larger length of the dexterous hand in the extension direction of the dexterous hand. The dexterous hand 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure uses the potentiometer 340 to detect the position of the lead screw slider 330, and the potentiometer 340 is connected to the side surface of the driving source 310 or one end close to the output shaft 3110 and is arranged parallel to the lead screw 320. There is no need to install an encoder at the end of the driving assembly 300, and there is no need to occupy the axial space of the driving source 310, thereby further reducing the size of the dexterous hand 10 in the extension direction of the dexterous hand 10. Therefore, the dexterous hand 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can have both a high degree of freedom and a small size.
[0064] Exemplarily, the driving source 310 is a structure such as a motor or a rotary cylinder.
[0065] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, the lead screw slider 330 further includes a threaded hole 3303 penetrating the lead screw slider 330 along the extension direction of the lead screw 320. The outer side surface of the lead screw 320 has a threaded portion 3210, and the threaded portion 3210 penetrates into the threaded hole 3303 to achieve the screwing connection between the lead screw slider 330 and the lead screw 320.
[0066] In order to enable the dexterous hand to perform the same functions as the human hand and ensure the overall motion performance of the dexterous hand, the number of finger assemblies of the dexterous hand usually imitates the number of human hand fingers. Exemplarily, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the dexterous hand 10 has five finger assemblies 200, namely a thumb assembly, an index finger assembly, a middle finger assembly, a ring finger assembly, and a little finger assembly.
[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the lead screw slider 330 includes a guiding hole 3302 that penetrates the lead screw slider 330 along the extending direction of the lead screw 320. The driving assembly 300 further includes a guiding rod 350. The guiding rod 350 is inserted into the guiding hole 3302, is connected to the driving source 310, and is arranged in parallel with the lead screw 320.
[0068] The movement of the lead screw slider 330 is guided by the guiding rod 350, further improving the movement accuracy of the lead screw slider 330.
[0069] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, the number of the guiding holes 3302 is two, and the number of the guiding rods 350 is two. The two guiding rods 350 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lead screw 320, are respectively inserted into the two guiding holes 3302, and are both connected to the driving source 310. The movement of the lead screw slider 330 is guided by the two guiding rods 350, further improving the movement accuracy of the lead screw slider 330.
[0070] In some embodiments, the thread of the lead screw 320 for screwing with the lead screw slider 330 includes a trapezoidal thread. The trapezoidal thread can bear a large load to improve the grasping load of the dexterous hand 10.
[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the lead screw slider 330 includes a first component part 3310 and a second component part 3320. The first component part 3310 has a guiding hole 3302 and an identification hole 3301. The second component part 3320 is connected to the first component part 3310 and is connected between the guiding hole 3302 and the identification hole 3301. During the sliding process of the lead screw slider 330, the second component part 3320 can be located between the guiding rod 350 and the potentiometer 340.
[0072] The second component part 3320 can slide between the guiding rod 350 and the potentiometer 340, making full use of the space between the guiding rod 350 and the potentiometer 340, reducing the space occupied by the dexterous hand 10, and improving the compactness of the dexterous hand 10.
[0073] Exemplarily, as Figure 4 shown, the first component part 3310 has a threaded hole 3303, and the two guiding holes 3302 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the threaded hole 3303.
[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the multiple finger assemblies 200 include at least one first finger assembly 201, at least one second finger assembly 202, and at least one third finger assembly 203.
[0075] As Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, the first finger assembly 201 includes a first support 2011, a first proximal phalanx 2012, a first middle phalanx 2013, and a first distal phalanx 2014. The first proximal phalanx 2012 is rotatably connected to the first support 2011, the first middle phalanx 2013 is rotatably connected to the first proximal phalanx 2012, and the first middle phalanx 2013 and the first distal phalanx 2014 are drivingly connected.
[0076] As Figure 8 shown, the second finger assembly 202 includes a second support 2021, a second proximal phalanx 2022, a second middle phalanx 2023, and a second distal phalanx 2024. The second support 2021 is connected to the palm substrate 100, the second proximal phalanx 2022 is gimbal-connected to the second support 2021, the second middle phalanx 2023 is rotatably connected to the second proximal phalanx 2022, and the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024 are drivingly connected.
[0077] As Figure 9 shown, the third finger assembly 203 includes a third support 2031, a third proximal phalanx 2032, a third middle phalanx 2033, and a third distal phalanx 2034. The third support 2031 is connected to the palm substrate 100, the third proximal phalanx 2032 is rotatably connected to the third support 2031, and the third proximal phalanx 2032, the third middle phalanx 2033, and the third distal phalanx 2034 are drivingly connected.
[0078] As Figures 6 to 9 shown, the plurality of drive assemblies 300 includes at least four first drive assemblies 301, at least three second drive assemblies 302, and at least one third drive assembly 303. The first first drive assembly 301 is disposed on the first proximal phalanx 2012 and is drivingly connected to the first middle phalanx 2013, and is configured to drive the first middle phalanx 2013 and the first distal phalanx 2014 to couple and move. The second first drive assembly 301 is disposed on the first proximal phalanx 2012 and is drivingly connected to the first support 2011, and is configured to drive the first proximal phalanx 2012 to flex. The third first drive assembly 301 is rotatably connected to the first support 2011 and is configured to drive the first support 2011 to swing. The fourth first drive assembly 301 is disposed on the palm substrate 100 and is connected to the third first drive assembly 301 and is configured to drive the third first drive assembly 301 to spin.
[0079] At least three second drive components 302 are disposed on the palm base plate 100. The first second drive component 302 and the second second drive component 302 are both connected to the second root finger joint 2022, and are configured to drive the second root finger joint 2022 to swing sideways and flex and extend. The third second drive component 302 is connected to the second middle finger joint 2023, and is configured to drive the second middle finger joint 2023 to couple and link with the second distal finger joint 2024.
[0080] At least one third driving component 303 is disposed on the palm base plate 100 and connected to the third finger joint 2032 , and is configured to drive the third finger joint 2032 , the third middle finger joint 2033 and the third distal finger joint 2034 to be coupled and linked.
[0081] At least four first drive components 301 are used to realize the coupling and linkage of the first middle phalanx 2013 and the first distal phalanx 2014 of the first finger component 201, the flexion and extension of the first phalanx 2012, the swing of the first support member 2011 and the spin of the first drive component 301, so that the first finger component 201 has four active degrees of freedom. In addition, at least three second drive components 302 are used to realize the side swing and flexion and extension of the second phalanx 2022 of the second finger component 202, and the coupling and linkage of the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024, so that the second finger component 202 has three active degrees of freedom. In addition, at least one third drive component 303 is used to realize the coupling and linkage of the third phalanx 2032, the third middle phalanx 2033 and the third distal phalanx 2034 of the third finger component 203, so that the third finger component 203 has one active degree of freedom. Therefore, the dexterous hand 10 has more active degrees of freedom, which ensures the overall motion performance of the dexterous hand 10.
[0082] For example, Figures 6 to 9 As shown, four first drive components 301 are arranged corresponding to a first finger component 201, three second drive components 302 are arranged corresponding to a second finger component 202, and one third drive component 303 is arranged corresponding to a third finger component 203, so as to make use of a smaller number of drive components 300 as much as possible to enable the dexterous hand 10 to have a higher degree of freedom. In addition, the size of the dexterous hand 10 can also be ensured to be small.
[0083] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned transmission connection can be realized by transmission modes such as gear transmission and chain transmission.
[0084] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned universal connection can be realized by structures such as a universal joint, a ball and socket joint, and an elastic coupling.
[0085] Exemplarily, the driving component can be driven by a motor, an electric cylinder, an electric push rod, a linear module, a pneumatic cylinder, etc.
[0086] Exemplarily, the first finger component 201, the second finger component 202, and the third finger component 203 are all axisymmetric structures.
[0087] Coupled linkage refers to the relationship of interaction and influence between two or more components, systems, or processes. This relationship can be a direct physical connection or an indirect interaction through a certain medium or mechanism. For example, the first middle phalanx 2013 and the first distal phalanx 2014 are drivingly connected, the first first driving component 301 is drivingly connected to the first middle phalanx 2013, the first first driving component 301 drives the first middle phalanx 2013 to move, and the first middle phalanx 2013 drives the first distal phalanx 2014 to move, achieving the coupled linkage between the first middle phalanx 2013 and the first distal phalanx 2014. For example, the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024 are drivingly connected, the third second driving component 302 is drivingly connected to the second middle phalanx 2023, the third second driving component 302 drives the second middle phalanx 2023 to move, and the second middle phalanx 2023 drives the second distal phalanx 2024 to move, achieving the coupled linkage between the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024. For example, the third phalanx 2032, the third middle phalanx 2033, and the third distal phalanx 2034 are drivingly connected, the third driving component 303 drives the third phalanx 2032 to move, the third phalanx 2032 drives the third middle phalanx 2033 to move, and the third middle phalanx 2033 drives the third distal phalanx 2034 to move, achieving the coupled linkage between the third phalanx 2032, the third middle phalanx 2033, and the third distal phalanx 2034.
[0088] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the first finger component 201 is a thumb component, the number of the second finger components 202 is two, namely an index finger component and a middle finger component respectively, and the number of the third finger components 203 is two, namely a ring finger component and a little finger component respectively.
[0089] The thumb component of the dexterous hand 10 has four active degrees of freedom, the index finger component and the middle finger component each have three active degrees of freedom, and the ring finger component and the little finger component each have one active degree of freedom. Therefore, the dexterous hand 10 has twelve active degrees of freedom. When the dexterous hand 10 performs tasks, higher requirements are imposed on the active degrees of freedom, load capacity, movement speed, etc. of the thumb component, the index finger component, and the middle finger component. Based on the above considerations, the thumb component, the index finger component, and the middle finger component have higher active degrees of freedom, thereby ensuring the overall movement performance of the dexterous hand 10.
[0090] In some embodiments, as Figures 10 to 12As shown, the dexterous hand 10 has a palm side 1001 and a back side 1002 that are oppositely arranged along a first direction X1. When the second finger assembly 202 is in an extended state, the extending direction of the second finger assembly 202 is a second direction X2, and the palm width direction of the dexterous hand 10 is a third direction X3. The first direction X1, the second direction X2, and the third direction X3 are perpendicular to each other. The fourth first driving assembly 301 extends along the third direction X3, the third first driving assembly 301 and the fourth first driving assembly 301 are stacked along the first direction X1, and both the third first driving assembly 301 and the fourth first driving assembly 301 are disposed at one end of the second driving assembly 302 away from the second finger assembly 202. The first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 both extend along a direction that forms an acute angle with the second direction X2 and are arranged side by side along the third direction X3. The third second driving assembly 302 extends along the second direction X2 and is stacked with the first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 along the first direction X1. The third driving assembly 303 extends along a direction that forms an acute angle with the second direction X2 and is arranged side by side with the first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 along the third direction X3.
[0091] The layout of the multiple driving assemblies 300 of the dexterous hand 10 is compact, reasonably utilizing the space of the palm substrate 100 and reducing the size of the dexterous hand 10.
[0092] The first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 both extend along a direction that forms an acute angle with the second direction X2 and are arranged side by side along the third direction X3. The third second driving assembly 302 extends along the second direction X2 and is stacked with the first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 along the first direction X1, such that the end of the first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 facing the second finger assembly 202 is closer to the back side 1002 than the end of the first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302 away from the second finger assembly 202, making the circumferential dimension of the end of the second phalanx 2022 away from the second middle phalanx 2023 smaller and closer to the shape of a human finger. At the same time, the space occupied by the first second driving assembly 302, the second second driving assembly 302, and the third second driving assembly 302 in the palm is close to the shape of a human palm, which is conducive to making full use of the space of the palm part.
[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、and Figures 13 to 19As shown, the first middle phalanx 2013 is rotatably connected to the first proximal phalanx 2012 about a first axis L1. The first middle phalanx 2013 includes a toggled portion 2113 which is circumferentially located about the first axis L1. The first distal phalanx 2014 is rotatably connected to the first middle phalanx 2013 about a second axis L2, and the second axis L2 is parallel to the first axis L1. The first finger assembly 201 further includes a first link 2015. The first end of the first link 2015 is rotatably connected to the first proximal phalanx 2012 about a third axis L3, and the second end of the first link 2015 is rotatably connected to the first distal phalanx 2014 about a fourth axis L4. Both the third axis L3 and the fourth axis L4 are parallel to the first axis L1. In a cross-section perpendicular to the first axis L1, the connection line between the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 intersects with the connection line between the third axis L3 and the fourth axis L4. The first first driving assembly 301 includes a first driving portion 3011 which is capable of moving along a first straight line SL1. The first driving portion 3011 has a first sliding groove 3111, and the toggled portion 2113 extends into the first sliding groove 3111. The first sliding groove 3111 includes a first side wall 3112 and a second side wall 3113 which are oppositely arranged along a direction perpendicular to the first axis L1, and the first side wall 3112 and the second side wall 3113 are respectively arranged on both sides of the toggled portion 2113. During the rotation of the toggled portion 2113 about the first axis L1, the first side wall 3112 or the second side wall 3113 abuts against the toggled portion 2113 to toggle the toggled portion 2113 to rotate about the first axis L1. The first support 2011 is rotatably connected to the first proximal phalanx 2012 about a fifth axis L5, and the fifth axis L5 is parallel to the first axis L1. The first support 2011 has a second sliding groove 2111, and the second sliding groove 2111 includes a third side wall 2112 and a fourth side wall 2114 which are oppositely arranged along a direction perpendicular to the first axis L1. The second first driving assembly 301 includes a second driving body 3012 and a second driving portion 3013. The second driving body 3012 is connected to the second driving portion 3013 and is used to drive the second driving portion 3013 to move relative to the second driving body 3012 along a second straight line SL2. The second driving portion 3013 extends into the second sliding groove 2111, and the third side wall 2112 and the fourth side wall 2114 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second driving portion 3013. During the rotation of the first proximal phalanx 2012 about the fifth axis L5, the second driving portion 3013 abuts against the third side wall 2112 or the fourth side wall 2114 to drive the first proximal phalanx 2012 to rotate about the fifth axis L5.
[0094] The dexterous hand 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has the first driving part 3011 capable of moving along the first straight line SL1, the moved part 2113 extends into the first sliding groove 3111 of the first driving part 3011, the first side wall 3112 and the second side wall 3113 are relatively arranged in a direction perpendicular to the first axis L1, the first side wall 3112 and the second side wall 3113 are respectively arranged on both sides of the moved part 2113, and during the rotation of the moved part 2113 around the first axis L1, the first side wall 3112 or the second side wall 3113 abuts against the moved part 2113, so that the first driving part 3011 can move the moved part 2113 to rotate around the first axis L1, and the structure for realizing the rotation of the first middle finger joint 2013 is simple and compact, which is conducive to reducing the size of the dexterous hand 10. In addition, since the first slide groove 3111 provides movement space for the rotation of the driven part 2113, the first first drive component 301 can be fixed on the first finger joint 2012 without the need to be rotatably connected to the first finger joint 2012, thereby avoiding the first first drive component 301 from occupying more space of the first finger joint 2012 and reducing the size of the first finger joint 2012.
[0095] In addition, the first finger joint 2012, the first middle finger joint 2013, the first distal finger joint 2014 and the first connecting rod 2015 of the first finger assembly 201 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure form a four-bar linkage mechanism, which realizes the coupling and linkage of the first middle finger joint 2013 and the first distal finger joint 2014, and realizes that the first middle finger joint 2013 and the first distal finger joint 2014 are bent toward the palm side of the dexterous hand 10 as a whole, and the structure is simple, rigid, stable and reliable. In addition, the fingertips of human hands usually move in coupling with the finger joints adjacent to the fingertips and are difficult to move independently, making the movements of the dexterous hand 10 more anthropomorphic. At the same time, the size of the first finger joint 2012 can usually be designed to be larger than that of the first middle finger joint 2013 and the first distal finger joint 2014. The structure that drives the coupling movement of the first middle finger joint 2013 and the first distal finger joint 2014 is arranged on the first finger joint 2012, which is conducive to making full use of the space at the first finger joint 2012, so that the dexterous hand 10 is more human-like.
[0096] In addition, for the dexterous hand 10 provided in this embodiment, since the second driving part 3013 can move relative to the second driving body 3012 along the second straight line SL2, the second driving part 3013 extends into the second sliding groove 2111, and the third side wall 2112 and the fourth side wall 2114 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second driving part 3013. During the rotation of the first phalanx 2012 around the fifth axis L5, the second driving part 3013 abuts against the third side wall 2112 or the fourth side wall 2114, so that the second first driving assembly 301 can drive the first phalanx 2012 to rotate around the fifth axis L5. The structure for realizing the rotation of the first phalanx 2012 is simple and compact, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the dexterous hand 10. In addition, since the second sliding groove 2111 provides a movement space for the rotation of the second driving part 3013, the second first driving assembly 301 can be fixed to the first phalanx 2012 without being rotatably connected to the first phalanx 2012, avoiding the second first driving assembly 301 occupying more space of the first phalanx 2012 and reducing the size of the first phalanx 2012.
[0097] Exemplarily, as Figure 13 and Figure 17 shown, the first phalanx 2012 includes two first phalanx shells 2102 oppositely arranged along the extension direction of the first axis L1. Both the first first driving assembly 301 and the second first driving assembly 301 are located in the accommodation space formed by the first phalanx shells 2102, further reducing the space occupied by the first first driving assembly 301 and the second first driving assembly 301 in the first phalanx 2012 and reducing the size of the first phalanx 2012.
[0098] The first side wall 3112 and the second side wall 3113 are oppositely arranged along the direction perpendicular to the first axis L1. That is to say, the depth direction of the first sliding groove 3111 can be parallel to the first axis L1. Such a setting facilitates the first side wall 3112 and the second side wall 3113 to provide force to the part to be toggled 2113.
[0099] Exemplarily, as Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown, the first driving part 3011 moves away from the first phalanx 2012 along the first straight line SL1, the first side wall 3112 abuts against the part to be toggled 2113, and toggles the part to be toggled 2113 to rotate around the first axis L1 towards the palm side of the dexterous hand 10. The first driving part 3011 moves close to the first phalanx 2012 along the first straight line SL1, the second side wall 3113 abuts against the part to be toggled 2113, and toggles the part to be toggled 2113 to rotate around the first axis L1 towards the back side of the dexterous hand 10. During the rotation of the part to be toggled 2113 around the first axis L1, the part to be toggled 2113 moves in the first sliding groove 3111.
[0100] Exemplarily, the first chute 3111 may be a straight chute or an arc chute. Exemplarily, in a plane perpendicular to the first straight line SL1, during the rotation of the actuated portion 2113 about the first axis L1, along the extending direction of the trajectory of the actuated portion 2113, the dimensions of the orthographic projections of the first side wall 3112 and the second side wall 3113 may be both greater than or equal to the dimension of the trajectory of the actuated portion 2113.
[0101] The third side wall 2112 and the fourth side wall 2114 are oppositely arranged along a direction perpendicular to the first axis L1, that is to say, the depth direction of the second chute 2111 may be parallel to the first axis L1. Such an arrangement facilitates the abutment of the second driving portion 3013 against the third side wall 2112 or the fourth side wall 2114.
[0102] Exemplarily, as Figure 18 and Figure 19 shown, the second driving portion 3013 moves away from the first support member 2011 relative to the second driving main body 3012 along the second straight line SL2, the fourth side wall 2114 abuts against the second driving portion 3013, and the second driving portion 3013 drives the first phalanx 2012 to rotate towards the back of the palm of the dexterous hand 10. The second driving portion 3013 moves close to the first support member 2011 relative to the second driving main body 3012 along the second straight line SL2, the third side wall 2112 abuts against the second driving portion 3013, and the second driving portion 3013 drives the first phalanx 2012 to rotate towards the palm side of the dexterous hand 10. During the rotation of the first phalanx 2012 about the fifth axis L5, the second driving portion 3013 moves in the second chute 2111.
[0103] Exemplarily, the second chute 2111 may be a straight chute or an arc chute. Exemplarily, in a plane perpendicular to the first straight line SL1, during the rotation of the second driving portion 3013 about the first axis L1, along the extending direction of the trajectory of the second driving portion 3013, the dimensions of the orthographic projections of the third side wall 2112 and the fourth side wall 2114 are both greater than or equal to the dimension of the trajectory of the second driving portion 3013.
[0104] The first driving assembly 301 may include any structure capable of realizing the linear movement of the driving portion. Exemplarily, the first driving assembly 301 may include one or a combination of more than one of the following structures: a lead screw linear module, a synchronous belt linear module, a linear motor module, a cylinder piston and a telescopic rod. For example, the first driving assembly 301 may include a linear servo. The driving portion of the first driving assembly 301 may be the output end of the linear servo.
[0105] Exemplarily, the first support member 2011 may be connected to the palm substrate 100.
[0106] In some embodiments, Figure 8 、 Figure 11, Figure 12 , and Figures 20 to 32As shown, the dexterous hand 10 includes a palm side 1001 and a back side 1002 which are oppositely arranged. The second support member 2021 can be rotatably connected to the palm substrate 100 about the sixth axis L6, and the sixth axis L6 is parallel to the direction from the palm side 1001 towards the back side 1002. The second phalanx 2022 is rotatably connected to the second support member 2021 about the seventh axis L7, and the seventh axis L7 is perpendicular to the sixth axis L6. The second phalanx 2022 includes a first connecting portion 2122 and a second connecting portion 2222, and the first connecting portion 2122 and the second connecting portion 2222 are located in the circumferential direction of the sixth axis L6. The second finger assembly 202 further includes a first link assembly 2025, a second link assembly 2026, a phalanx assembly 2027, a first connecting member 2028, a second link 2029, and a third link assembly 2030. The first end of the first link assembly 2025 is movably connected to the first connecting portion 2122, and the first second driving assembly 302 is movably connected to the second end of the first link assembly 2025 for driving the second end of the first link assembly 2025 to move along the third straight line SL3. The first end of the second link assembly 2026 is movably connected to the second connecting portion 2222, and the second second driving assembly 302 is movably connected to the second end of the second link assembly 2026 for driving the second end of the second link assembly 2026 to move along the fourth straight line SL4. The phalanx assembly 2027 is rotatably connected to the second phalanx 2022 about the eighth axis L8, and the eighth axis L8 is parallel to the seventh axis L7. The first connecting member 2028 includes a connected third connecting portion 2128, a fourth connecting portion 2228, and a fifth connecting portion 2328. The third connecting portion 2128 is located between the first connecting portion 2122 and the second connecting portion 2222 and is rotatably connected to the second phalanx 2022 about the ninth axis L9, and the ninth axis L9 is parallel to the seventh axis L7, and the first connecting portion 2122 and the second connecting portion 2222 are oppositely arranged along the ninth axis L9. The first end of the second link 2029 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting portion 2228 about the tenth axis L10, and the second end of the second link 2029 is rotatably connected to the phalanx assembly 2027 about the eleventh axis L11, and both the tenth axis L10 and the eleventh axis L11 are parallel to the seventh axis L7. The first end of the third link assembly 2030 is movably connected to the fifth connecting portion 2328, and the third second driving assembly 302 is movably connected to the second end of the third link assembly 2030 for driving the second end of the third link assembly 2030 to move along the fifth straight line SL5. The third second driving assembly 302 is located on the side towards the back side 1002 of the first second driving assembly 302 and the second second driving assembly 302. The fifth straight line SL5 can be parallel to the palm substrate 100, and in a plane perpendicular to the seventh axis L7, the distance between the positive projection of the fifth straight line SL5 and the positive projection of the third straight line SL3 in the extending direction of the sixth axis L6 gradually decreases along the direction of the fifth straight line SL5 towards the second phalanx 2022.On a plane perpendicular to the seventh axis L7, the distance between the positive projection of the fifth straight line SL5 and the positive projection of the fourth straight line SL4 in the extending direction of the sixth axis L6 gradually decreases along the direction of the fifth straight line SL5 towards the second phalanx 2022.
[0107] As Figures 23 to 26 shown, the phalanx assembly 2027 includes a second middle phalanx 2023 and a second distal phalanx 2024. The phalanx assembly 2027 further includes a third link 2127. The first end of the third link 2127 is rotatably connected to the second phalanx 2022 about the eighth axis L8 and is rotatably connected to the second end of the second link 2029 about the eleventh axis L11. The second middle phalanx 2023 is rotatably connected to the second phalanx 2022 about the twelfth axis L12, and the twelfth axis L12 is parallel to the seventh axis L7. The second distal phalanx 2024 is rotatably connected to the second end of the third link 2127 about the thirteenth axis L13 and is rotatably connected to the second middle phalanx 2023 about the fourteenth axis L14. Both the thirteenth axis L13 and the fourteenth axis L14 are parallel to the seventh axis L7. On a plane perpendicular to the seventh axis L7, the connection line between the eighth axis L8 and the thirteenth axis L13 intersects the connection line between the twelfth axis L12 and the fourteenth axis L14.
[0108] Exemplarily, the palm substrate 100 can be used to form the palm of the dexterous hand 10. Exemplarily, the palm substrate 100 can be a plate-like structure, a frame structure, etc. Exemplarily, the first axis L1 can be perpendicular to the palm substrate 100.
[0109] Specifically, the phalanx can be a structural unit segmented along the length extending direction of the dexterous hand finger assembly. The dexterous hand finger 10 can include a plurality of sequentially connected phalanges. The second phalanx 2022 can be one of the plurality of phalanges included in the second finger assembly 202. Since the first connecting portion 2122 and the second connecting portion 2222 are located in the circumferential direction of the sixth axis L6, the second phalanx 2022 can be rotated relative to the palm substrate 100 about the sixth axis L6 by pushing the first connecting portion 2122 or the second connecting portion 2222 around the sixth axis L6 to perform a side swing action. Exemplarily, the first connecting portion 2122 and the second connecting portion 2222 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a plane passing through the sixth axis L6 and perpendicular to the seventh axis L7.
[0110] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned movable connection can be realized by means of a universal joint, a spherical bearing or a fish-eye bearing, etc.
[0111] For example, by controlling the first second drive component 302 to drive the second end of the first connecting rod component 2025 to move at a speed and a direction along the third straight line SL3, and controlling the second second drive component 302 to drive the second end of the second connecting rod component 2026 to move at a speed and a direction along the fourth straight line SL4, the second finger joint 2022 can be rotated around the sixth axis L6 to achieve a side swing action, and the second finger joint 2022 can be rotated around the seventh axis L7, and the second finger joint 2022 can be rotated relative to the palm substrate 100.
[0112] For example, the first connection part 2122 and the second connection part 2222 may be located in the area corresponding to the palm base plate 100, and the first second driving component 302 may be located on the side of the first connection part 2122 and the second connection part 2222 facing the finger joint component 2027. The second second driving component 302 may be located on the side of the first connection part 2122 and the second connection part 2222 away from the finger joint component 2027. Under the drive of the first second driving component 302 and the second second driving component 302, the second end of the first connecting rod component 2025 and the second end of the second connecting rod component 2026 move simultaneously along the third straight line SL3 and the fourth straight line SL4 toward the second finger joint 2022 or move simultaneously away from the second finger joint 2022, so that the second finger joint 2022 rotates around the sixth axis L6. When the moving speeds of the second end of the first connecting rod component 2025 and the second end of the second connecting rod component 2026 are different, the second finger joint 2022 may further rotate around the seventh axis L7.
[0113] Specifically, when the third second driving assembly 302 drives the second end of the third connecting rod assembly 2030 to move along the fifth straight line SL5, the first connecting member 2028 will be driven to rotate around the ninth axis L9. At the same time, the second finger joint 2022, the first connecting member 2028, the second connecting rod 2029 and the finger joint assembly 2027 form a first four-bar linkage. The second finger joint 2022 is equivalent to the first frame, the first connecting member 2028 and the finger joint assembly 2027 are equivalent to the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod 2029 is equivalent to the first connecting rod, and the first connecting member 2028 is an active member, so that the third second driving assembly 302 can make the finger joint assembly 2027 rotate around the eighth axis L8, realize the independent rotation of the finger joint assembly 2027 relative to the second finger joint 2022, so that the second finger assembly 202 has three active degrees of freedom.
[0114] Since the first second driving component 302, the second second driving component 302, and the third second driving component 302 are generally elongated and extend along the extension directions of the third straight line SL3, the fourth straight line SL4, and the fifth straight line SL5 respectively, on a plane perpendicular to the seventh axis L7, the positive projection of the fifth straight line SL5 and the distance between the positive projection of the fifth straight line SL5 and the positive projection of the third straight line SL3 in the extension direction of the sixth axis L6 gradually decrease along the direction of the fifth straight line SL5 towards the second phalanx 2022, which is beneficial to making the ends of the first second driving component 302 and the second second driving component 302 facing the phalanx assembly 2027 closer to the dorsal side 1002 than the ends of the first second driving component 302 and the second second driving component 302 away from the phalanx assembly 2027.
[0115] Moreover, the thickness of the side of the human palm where it is connected to the fingers is smaller than the thickness of the side where it is connected to the wrist. The third second driving component 302 close to the dorsal side 1002 is arranged parallel to the palm substrate 100. The first second driving component 302 and the second second driving component 302 are close to the palmar side 1001, and the ends of the first second driving component 302 and the second second driving component 302 facing the phalanx assembly 2027 are closer to the dorsal side 1002 than the ends of the first second driving component 302 and the second second driving component 302 away from the phalanx assembly 2027, making the circumferential dimension of the end of the second phalanx 2022 away from the phalanx assembly 2027 smaller and more conforming to the shape of the human finger. At the same time, it makes the space occupied by the first second driving component 302, the second second driving component 302, and the third second driving component 302 in the palm close to the shape of the human palm, which is beneficial to making full use of the space of the palm part and improving the humanoid degree of the palm of the dexterous hand 10.
[0116] Exemplarily, the shapes of the first second driving component 302, the second second driving component 302, and the third second driving component 302 may all include an elongated shape. The first second driving component 302 may extend along the extension direction of the third straight line SL3, the second second driving component 302 may extend along the extension direction of the fourth straight line SL4, and the third second driving component 302 may extend along the extension direction of the fifth straight line SL5.
[0117] Exemplarily, the first second drive assembly 302, the second second drive assembly 302, and the third second drive assembly 302 may include any structure capable of driving an object to move linearly. Exemplarily, the first second drive assembly 302 may include a combination of one or more of the following structures: a lead screw linear module, a timing belt linear module, a linear motor module, a cylinder piston, and a telescopic rod. For example, the first second drive assembly 302 may include a linear servo. The structures of the second second drive assembly 302 and the third second drive assembly 302 may be similar to that of the first second drive assembly 302, which will not be elaborated here.
[0118] The dexterous hand 10 realizes the rotation of the second phalanx 2022 around the sixth axis L6 and the seventh axis L7 through the first second drive assembly 302 and the second second drive assembly 302 in parallel, so that the second phalanx 2022 can have the functions of lateral swing and rotation towards the palm side 1001 or the back of the hand side 1002. The rotation of the phalanx assembly 2027 around the eighth axis L8 is realized through the third second drive assembly 302, so that the phalanx assembly 2027 has the function of rotating towards the palm side 1001 or the back of the hand side 1002, so that the second finger assembly 202 has at least three active degrees of freedom. The structure of the drive assembly is relatively simple, and additional components such as gears and tendon ropes do not need to be provided for the structure realizing the lateral swing and flexion / extension of the second finger assembly 202. The structure is simple, has high rigidity, is stable and reliable, and is beneficial to reducing the size of the second finger assembly 202 and the dexterous hand 10.
[0119] In addition, the third second drive assembly 302 is located on the side of the first second drive assembly 302 and the second second drive assembly 302 towards the back of the hand side 1002. The fifth straight line SL5 can be parallel to the palm substrate 100. In the plane perpendicular to the seventh axis L7, the positive projection of the fifth straight line SL5 and the distance between the positive projection of the fifth straight line SL5 and the positive projection of the third straight line SL3 in the extending direction of the sixth axis L6 both gradually decrease along the direction of the fifth straight line SL5 towards the second phalanx 2022, so that the end of the first second drive assembly 302 and the second second drive assembly 302 towards the phalanx assembly 2027 is closer to the back of the hand side 1002 than the end of the first second drive assembly 302 and the second second drive assembly 302 away from the phalanx assembly 2027, making the circumferential dimension of the end of the second phalanx 2022 away from the phalanx assembly 2027 smaller and closer to the shape of a human finger. At the same time, the space occupied by the first second drive assembly 302, the second second drive assembly 302, and the third second drive assembly 302 in the palm is close to the shape of a human palm, which is beneficial to making full use of the space of the palm part and improving the human-like degree of the palm of the dexterous hand 10.
[0120] Specifically, as Figure 26As shown, on a plane perpendicular to the seventh axis L7, the projection points of the eighth axis L8, the twelfth axis L12, the thirteenth axis L13, and the fourteenth axis L14 are point C, point D, point E, and point F respectively. The second phalanx 2022, the third link 2127, the second middle phalanx 2023, and the second distal phalanx 2024 form a second four-bar linkage. In the second four-bar linkage, the second phalanx 2022 is equivalent to the second frame, the second middle phalanx 2023 and the third link 2127 are equivalent to the second crank (i.e., rocker), the second distal phalanx 2024 is equivalent to the second link, and the third link 2127 is the driving member.
[0121] In some application scenarios, such as Figure 26 and Figure 29 As shown, the second end of the second link 2029 drives the first end of the third link 2127 to rotate around the eighth axis L8 relative to the second phalanx 2022 towards the palm side 1001. The third link 2127 drives the coupled second middle phalanx 2023 and second distal phalanx 2024 to rotate towards the palm side 1001, realizing the bending of the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024 towards the palm side 1001.
[0122] Exemplarily, the third link 2127 can be a straight rod, a bent rod, or an arc-shaped rod. The specific shape and quantity of the third link 2127 can be set according to actual requirements, and no specific limitation is made in this embodiment. Exemplarily, the second distal phalanx 2024 can be used as the fingertip of the second finger assembly 202.
[0123] The phalanx assembly 2027 of the second finger assembly 202 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the third link 2127, the second middle phalanx 2023, and the second distal phalanx 2024. The second phalanx 2022, the second middle phalanx 2023, and the second distal phalanx 2024 are sequentially rotatably connected, so that the second finger assembly 202 has at least three phalanges to complete more complex tasks. In addition, the second phalanx 2022, the third link 2127, the second middle phalanx 2023, and the second distal phalanx 2024 form a four-bar linkage, realizing the coupling of the movements of the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024. Driven by the third second driving component 302, the second middle phalanx 2023 and the second distal phalanx 2024 are bent towards the palm side 1001 as a whole, with a simple structure, high rigidity, stability, and reliability. Moreover, the fingertips of the human hand usually move in a coupled manner with the phalanges adjacent to the fingertips and are difficult to move independently, making the movements of the second finger assembly 202 of the dexterous hand 10 more anthropomorphic.
[0124] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 、 Figures 33 to 35As shown, the third phalanx 2032 is rotatably connected to the third support member 2031 about the fifteenth axis L15, the third middle phalanx 2033 is rotatably connected to the third phalanx 2032 about the sixteenth axis L16, the third distal phalanx 2034 is rotatably connected to the third middle phalanx 2033 about the seventeenth axis L17, and the third drive assembly 303 is configured to drive the third phalanx 2032 to rotate about the fifteenth axis L15. The third finger assembly 203 further includes a fourth link assembly 2035 and a fifth link assembly 2036. The first end of the fourth link assembly 2035 is rotatably connected to the third support member 2031 about the eighteenth axis L18. The first end of the fifth link assembly 2036 includes a sixth connection portion 2136 and a seventh connection portion 2236. The sixth connection portion 2136 is rotatably connected to the second end of the fourth link assembly 2035 about the nineteenth axis L19, the seventh connection portion 2236 is rotatably connected to the third phalanx 2032 about the twentieth axis L20, and the second end of the fifth link assembly 2036 is rotatably connected to the third distal phalanx 2034 about the twenty-first axis L21. The fifteenth axis L15, the sixteenth axis L16, the seventeenth axis L17, the eighteenth axis L18, the nineteenth axis L19, the twentieth axis L20, and the twenty-first axis L21 are all parallel. In a cross-section perpendicular to the fifteenth axis L15, the connection line between the fifteenth axis L15 and the twentieth axis L20 intersects the connection line between the eighteenth axis L18 and the nineteenth axis L19, and the connection line between the sixteenth axis L16 and the seventeenth axis L17 intersects the connection line between the twentieth axis L20 and the twenty-first axis L21.
[0125] The dexterous hand 10 realizes the coupled linkage of the third phalanx 2032, the third middle phalanx 2033, and the third distal phalanx 2034 by using a third drive assembly 303, a fourth link assembly 2035, and a fifth link assembly 2036, improving the grasping envelope of the third finger assembly 203. In addition, since the dexterous hand 10 can realize the coupled linkage of the third phalanx 2032, the third middle phalanx 2033, and the third distal phalanx 2034 by using only one third drive assembly 303, the structure of the dexterous hand 10 is simplified and the size of the dexterous hand 10 is reduced. That is, while ensuring the size of the dexterous hand 10, the dexterous hand 10 improves the grasping envelope of the dexterous hand 10.
[0126] Exemplarily, as Figure 35As shown, on the cross-section perpendicular to the fifteenth axis L15, the orthographic projections of the fifteenth axis L15, sixteenth axis L16, seventeenth axis L17, eighteenth axis L18, nineteenth axis L19, twentieth axis L20, and twenty-first axis L21 are point I, point J, point K, point M, point N, point P, and point Q respectively. The connection line between point I and point M is denoted as rod IM. The connection line between point I and point P is rod IP. The connection line between point M and point N represents rod MN. The connection line between point N and point P represents rod NP. Rod IM, rod IP, rod MN, and rod NP form the third four-bar linkage. Rod IM is the third frame of the third four-bar linkage, rod IP is the third crank of the third four-bar linkage, rod NP is the third connecting rod of the third four-bar linkage, and rod MN is the third rocker of the third four-bar linkage. The third crank is the driving rod and moves under the drive of the third drive assembly 303, fourth link assembly 2035, and fifth link assembly 2036. The third crank drives the third connecting rod and the third rocker in sequence, realizing the bending and extension of the third middle phalanx 2033.
[0127] In addition, the connection line between point J and point P is denoted as rod JP, and the connection line between point J and point K is rod JK. The connection line between point P and point Q represents rod PQ. The connection line between point K and point Q represents rod KQ. Rod JP, rod JK, rod PQ, and rod KQ form the fourth four-bar linkage. Rod JP is the fourth frame of the fourth four-bar linkage, rod PQ is the fourth crank of the fourth four-bar linkage, rod KQ is the fourth connecting rod of the fourth four-bar linkage, and rod JK is the fourth rocker of the fourth four-bar linkage. The fourth crank is the driving rod and moves under the drive of the third drive assembly 303, fourth link assembly 2035, and fifth link assembly 2036. The fourth crank drives the fourth connecting rod and the fourth rocker in sequence, realizing the bending and extension of the third distal phalanx 2034. Therefore, the dexterous hand 10 realizes the coupled linkage of the third phalanx 2032, third middle phalanx 2033, and third distal phalanx 2034 by using the third drive assembly 303, the third four-bar linkage, and the fourth four-bar linkage.
[0128] Exemplarily, as Figure 9 and Figure 35 shown, the lead screw slider 330 of the third drive assembly 303 is rotatably connected to the third phalanx 2032 about the twenty-second axis L22, and the twenty-second axis L22 is parallel to the fifteenth axis L15.
[0129] Exemplarily, as Figure 9 、 Figures 33 to 35As shown, the first end of the third phalanx 2032 includes an eighth connecting portion 2132 and a ninth connecting portion 2232, and the second end of the third phalanx 2032 includes a tenth connecting portion 2332 and an eleventh connecting portion 2432. The first end of the third middle phalanx 2033 includes a twelfth connecting portion 2133, and the second end of the third middle phalanx 2033 includes a thirteenth connecting portion 2233. The first end of the third distal phalanx 2034 includes a fourteenth connecting portion 2134 and a fifteenth connecting portion 2234. The eighth connecting portion 2132 is rotatably connected to the lead screw slider 330 of the third driving assembly 303 about the twenty-second axis L22, the ninth connecting portion 2232 is rotatably connected to the third support member 2031 about the fifteenth axis L15, the tenth connecting portion 2332 is rotatably connected to the twelfth connecting portion 2133 about the sixteenth axis L16, and the eleventh connecting portion 2432 is rotatably connected to the seventh connecting portion 2236 about the twentieth axis L20. The thirteenth connecting portion 2233 is rotatably connected to the fourteenth connecting portion 2134 about the seventeenth axis L17. The fifteenth connecting portion 2234 is rotatably connected to the second end of the fifth link assembly 2036 about the twenty-first axis L21.
[0130] In some embodiments, as Figure 36 shown, the dexterous hand 10 further includes a driving board 400 and a control board 500. The driving board 400 is disposed on one side of the palm substrate 100 close to the back of the palm 1002. The driving assembly 300 disposed on the palm substrate 100 is located on one side of the driving board 400 close to the palm side 1001. The control board 500 is disposed on one side of the palm substrate 100 close to the back of the palm 1002 and is adjacent to the driving board 400. The driving assembly 300 disposed on the palm substrate 100 is located on one side of the control board 500 close to the palm side 1001.
[0131] In the related art, the driving board 400 and the control board 500 of the dexterous hand 10 are usually installed at one end of the palm substrate 100 of the dexterous hand 10 close to the wrist, resulting in a relatively large size of the dexterous hand 10. In the dexterous hand 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, by installing the driving board 400 and the control board 500 on one side of the palm substrate 100 close to the back of the palm 1002, it is not necessary to occupy the space at one end of the palm substrate 100 close to the wrist, making the layout of the dexterous hand 10 compact and reducing the size of the dexterous hand 10 in the second direction X2. In addition, the heat generated by the driving board 400 and the control board 500 can be transferred to the palm substrate 100, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the driving board 400 and the control board 500.
[0132] In some embodiments, as Figure 36 shown, the dexterous hand 10 further includes a heat dissipation board 600. The heat dissipation board 600 is connected between the driving board 400 and the palm substrate 100. The heat generated by the driving board 400 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation board 600.
[0133] Exemplarily, the material of the heat dissipation plate 600 can be a material with good thermal conductivity such as aluminum, copper, graphite, etc.
[0134] Exemplarily, fins are provided on the side of the heat dissipation plate 600 away from the driving plate 400 to further improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0135] Exemplarily, as Figure 36 shown, the dexterous hand 10 further includes a wrist component 700. The wrist component 700 is connected to one end of the palm substrate 100 away from the finger component 200. The heat generated by the driving plate 400 and the control plate 500 is transferred to the palm substrate 100 and then transferred from the palm substrate 100 to the wrist component 700 to further improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0136] Exemplarily, as Figure 36 and Figure 37 shown, the dexterous hand 10 further includes a housing 800. The housing 800 wraps the palm substrate 100, multiple driving components 300, the driving plate 400, the control plate 500, the heat dissipation plate 600 and a part of the wrist component 700, playing a protective role. At the same time, it improves the aesthetic appearance of the dexterous hand 10.
[0137] Exemplarily, the housing 800 can be integrally formed or can be separately provided. Exemplarily, as Figure 37 and Figure 38 shown, the housing 800 is separately provided. The housing 800 includes a first dorsal palm shell 810, a second dorsal palm shell 820, a first palmar shell 830 and a second palmar shell 840. The first dorsal palm shell 810 and a part of the second dorsal palm shell 820 are located on the dorsal palm side 1002 and are detachably connected. One end of the second dorsal palm shell 820 close to the wrist component 700 is arranged around the wrist component 700 and is detachably connected to the wrist component 700. The first palmar shell 830 and the second palmar shell 840 are located on the palmar side 1001. The first palmar shell 830 is oppositely arranged along the first direction X1 with the first dorsal palm shell 810 and is detachably connected. The end of the first palmar shell 830 close to the wrist component 700 contacts the end of the second dorsal palm shell 820 arranged around the wrist component 700. The second palmar shell 840 is located in the middle area on the side of the first palmar shell 830 close to the palmar side 1001 and is detachably connected to the first palmar shell 830. Exemplarily, the material of the second palmar shell 840 can be rubber, plastic, etc., so as to increase the friction between the housing 800 and the object when the dexterous hand 10 grasps an object and improve the grasping stability.

[0139] Since the robot 1 includes the dexterous hand 10, the robot 1 has all the technical features and technical effects of the dexterous hand 10, which will not be elaborated here.
