[0002] With the development of humanoid robot technology, a humanoid dexterous hand gradually becomes a research hotspot in the fields of robotics, bionics and human-computer interaction. Compared with traditional industrial manipulators, a humanoid dexterous hand not only pursues stability and reliability of grasping, but also emphasizes multi-finger coordination, complex operation and humanized interaction capability. A human hand has formed a highly flexible and functional structure in millions of years of evolution, and can realize tasks from large-scale rough handling to fine operation, which provides an important inspiration for the design of a humanoid hand. In the structure of a human hand, a thumb plays a decisive role. The opposition function of the thumb enables a human being to form a stable opposition structure and fine opposition operation with the other four fingers, thereby greatly expanding the operation range and tool use capability. Therefore, how to effectively realize the function of the thumb of a humanoid dexterous hand becomes a key problem in the field.
[0003] The overall structures of the remaining four fingers of an existing dexterous hand are similar, and a modularized design can be realized, but the existing humanoid thumb mechanism still has problems such as uncoordinated proportions, limited motion degrees of freedom, contradiction between freedom degree configuration and driving complexity, and non-human appearance.

[0017] The modularized mechanical thumb finger with the human hand motion characteristics has the following advantages:

This feature enables the fingertip to passively adapt to different shapes and sizes of object surfaces, enhancing the inclusiveness and stability of grasping, especially when grasping irregular objects.
[0021] 4. Good modularity and integration: The base module provides a standardized connection interface with the palm or arm robot, allowing the thumb mechanism to be integrated into different anthropomorphic hand palm systems as an independent module, improving system versatility and maintainability, and reducing design and manufacturing costs.
[0022] 5. Enhanced environmental perception ability: By providing interfaces for force sensors or vision sensors on the proximal phalanx and distal phalanx, the robot finger is equipped with the ability to acquire tactile or visual information, providing an important hardware foundation for force-controlled grasping, fine operation, and human-machine safety interaction, greatly improving the intelligence and safety of robot operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present application, a modularized mechanical thumb finger with human motion characteristics is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0038] As shown in Figure 1 A modularized mechanical thumb finger with human characteristics of the present application includes a base module 100, a metacarpal module 200, a proximal phalanx 300 and a distal phalanx 400. The base module 100 is used to provide a connection interface with a palm or an arm robot. The metacarpal module 200 is movably connected to the base module 100 and has three active degrees of freedom, which are used to realize opposition, abduction and dumping movements. The proximal phalanx 300 is movably connected to the metacarpal module 200 and is used to realize bending movement. The distal phalanx 400 is movably connected to the proximal phalanx 300 and is used to realize coupling and decoupling movements.
[0039] As shown in Figure 2 The base module 100 includes an upper end base 1 and a lower end base 2. The upper end base 1 is used to fix the movable components of the thumb opposition movement and at the same time provides an interface for connection with the palm and other four finger modules. The lower end base 2 is used to assist in fixing the movable components of the thumb opposition movement and at the same time provides an interface for connection with the arm robot.
[0040] The three active degrees of freedom of the metacarpal module 200 include a palmar motion mechanism, a dump motion mechanism, and an abduction motion mechanism, and the proximal phalangeal joint includes a flexion motion mechanism. The palmar motion mechanism, the dump motion mechanism, the abduction motion mechanism, and the flexion motion mechanism are all driven by a screw block mechanism to perform corresponding actions. The distal phalangeal joint 400 and the proximal phalangeal joint 300 are coupled by a four-bar linkage mechanism, and the distal phalangeal joint 400 and the proximal phalangeal joint 300 are decoupled by a rocker block mechanism.
[0041] As shown in Figure 3 , the palmar motion mechanism includes a palmar base 3, a first bearing 4, a palmar motion motor 5, a palmar motion slider 6, a palmar motion ball slider 7, a palmar motion slide rail 8, and a palmar motion connecting rod 9. The palmar base 3 is fixed to the base module through the first bearing 4, and the palmar motion motor 5 is also fixed to the base module. The output shaft of the palmar motion motor 5 has a screw thread, and a palmar motion slider 6 that can move parallel to the screw thread is arranged on the screw thread. The palmar motion slider 6 has a palmar motion ball slider 7 fixed above it, and the palmar motion ball slider 7 can move in translation along a palmar motion slide rail 8 fixed to the upper end base 1. This screw block mechanism is mainly used to assist the movement of the palmar motion slider 8. The palmar motion slider 6 is rotationally connected to the palmar base 3 through the palmar motion connecting rod 9. When the palmar motion motor 5 rotates, it drives the palmar motion slider 6 to move forward and backward along the screw thread. Through the translation of the palmar motion slider 6, the rotation of the palmar base 3 is driven. The flowchart of the thumb palmar motion is shown in Figure 4 .
[0042] As shown in Figure 5 Figure 6 , the dump motion mechanism includes a dump base 10, a dump motion motor 11, a dump motion slider 12, a dump motion ball slider 13, a dump motion slide rail 14, and a dump motion connecting rod 15. The dump base 10 is fixed to the palmar base 3 through a bearing, and the dump base 10 can rotate about the palmar base 3. The dump motion motor 11 is fixed to the right side of the dump base 10. The output shaft of the dump motion motor 11 has a screw thread, and a dump motion slider 12 that can move parallel to the screw thread is arranged on the screw thread. The dump motion slider 12 has a dump motion ball slider 13 fixed above it, and the dump motion ball slider 13 can move in translation along a dump motion slide rail 14 fixed to the dump base 10. This screw block mechanism is mainly used to assist the movement of the dump motion slider 12. The dump motion slider 12 is rotationally connected to the protruding part of the palmar base 3 through the dump motion connecting rod 15. Since the palmar base 3 is relatively static during the dump motion of the thumb, the dump motion motor 11 is fixed to the dump base 10. The dump motion motor 11 drives the dump motion slider 12 to move up and down along the screw thread. The up and down movement of the dump motion slider 12 drives the rotation of the dump motion motor 11 itself and the dump base 10. The flowchart of the thumb dump motion is shown inFigure 7 As shown.

Figure 6 Figure 8 As shown, the abduction mechanism includes an abduction shell, an abduction motor 18, an abduction slider 19, an abduction ball slider 20, an abduction slide rail 21 and an abduction connecting rod 22, as shown.

Figure 10 As shown, the abduction left shell 16 and the abduction right shell 17 have pin columns 164 inside the bottom, and the abduction left shell 16 and the abduction right shell 17 are connected to the pouring base 10 in a left-right combined manner through the pin columns 164, and the abduction shell can rotate as a whole around the pouring base 10, the abduction motor 18 is fixed to the left side of the pouring base 10, the output shaft of the abduction motor 18 has a lead screw thread, and an abduction slider 19 that can move parallel to the lead screw is arranged on the lead screw thread, the abduction slider 19 has an abduction ball slider 20 fixed above it, and the abduction ball slider 20 can move up and down along the abduction slide rail 21 fixed on the pouring base 10, and this lead screw slider mechanism is mainly used to assist the movement of the abduction slider 20, the abduction slider 19 is rotationally connected to the protrusion 161 inside the abduction left shell 16 through the abduction connecting rod 22, and the up and down movement of the abduction slider 19 will drive the abduction connecting rod 22 to rotate the whole abduction shell. The flow chart of thumb abduction movement is as shown. Figure 11
[0044] As shown. Figure 5 Figure 8 As shown, the proximal phalanx 300 of the thumb can be bent around the metacarpal module, the bending movement mechanism of the proximal phalanx 300 includes the proximal phalanx connecting rod, the bending movement motor 25, the bending movement slider 26, the bending movement ball slider 27, the bending movement sliding rail 28 and the bending movement push rod, the bending movement push rod includes the left side bending movement push rod 29 and the right side bending movement push rod 30, the proximal phalanx connecting rod includes the left side proximal phalanx connecting rod 23 and the right side proximal phalanx connecting rod 24, the left side proximal phalanx connecting rod 23 and the right side proximal phalanx connecting rod 24 are respectively rotatably connected in the bearing seat 162 inside the abduction left side shell 16 and the abduction left side shell 17. The bending movement motor 25 is fixed inside the abduction shell, the output shaft of the bending movement motor 25 has a lead screw thread, a bending movement slider 26 is arranged on the lead screw thread and can move up and down on the lead screw thread, the bending movement ball slider 27 is fixed above the bending movement slider 26, the bending movement ball slider 27 can move up and down on a bending movement sliding rail 28 fixed on the abduction left side shell 16, the lead screw slider mechanism is mainly used to assist the movement of the bending movement slider 26, the bending movement slider 26 is rotatably connected with the left side proximal phalanx connecting rod 23 and the right side proximal phalanx connecting rod 24 through the left side bending movement push rod 29 and the right side bending movement push rod 30, the bending movement motor 25 drives the bending movement slider 26 to move up and down, the bending movement slider 26 moving up and down drives the left side bending movement push rod 29 and the right side bending movement push rod 30 to rotate the left side proximal phalanx connecting rod 23 and the right side proximal phalanx connecting rod 24. The flow chart of the movement of the proximal phalanx of the thumb is as shown in Figure 12 .
[0045] The distal phalanx 400 of the thumb can rotate around the proximal phalanx of the thumb, as shown in Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 8 The distal phalanx 400 includes the distal phalanx connecting rod 31 and the compressible spring pressure rod 32, the distal phalanx connecting rod 31 is installed on the inner side of the upper end of the left side proximal phalanx connecting rod 23 and the right side proximal phalanx connecting rod 24, one end of the compressible spring pressure rod 32 is rotatably connected with the lower end of the distal phalanx connecting rod 31, the other end is rotatably connected with the pressure rod connection point 163 on the abduction left side shell 16. The distal phalanx connecting rod 31, the proximal phalanx connecting rod, the compressible spring pressure rod 32 and the abduction left side shell 16 form a four-bar linkage mechanism, so the distal phalanx connecting rod 31 will be coupled to move under the driving of the proximal phalanx connecting rod. The flow chart of the coupled movement of the proximal phalanx 300 and the distal phalanx 400 of the thumb is as shown in Figure 12 .
[0046] However, since the compressible spring press rod 32 can realize the change of length, when the proximal phalange link keeps static, the compressible spring press rod 32, the distal phalange link 31, the abduction left side shell 16 and the proximal phalange link together form a rocker slider mechanism, the abduction left side shell 16 and the proximal phalange link together form a static base, thus the distal phalange link 31 can realize decoupling and independent movement in this way. The flow chart of the decoupling movement of the thumb proximal phalange 300 and the distal phalange 400 is shown as follows. Figure 13
[0047] It is worth noting that the proximal phalange link and the distal phalange link 31 can be respectively installed with the proximal phalange finger pad 33 and the distal phalange finger pad 34, and the proximal phalange finger pad 33 and the distal phalange finger pad 34 can be provided with force sensors or visual sensors to provide the finger with tactile information or visual information.
