[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0019] Example 1: Reference Figures 1-11 A large-angle turntable dexterous thumb includes: a connecting base 1, a servo motor 2, a gear 3, a toothed arc 4, a second servo motor 5, and a dexterous thumb 6. The output end of the servo motor 2 on the connecting base 1 is connected to the gear 3. The second servo motor 5 is rotatably connected to the connecting base 1. The toothed arc 4 on the side wall of the second servo motor 5 meshes with the gear 3. The output end of the second servo motor 5 is connected to the bottom of the dexterous thumb 6. The second servo motor 5 is a dual-output servo motor.
[0020] The principle behind the above scheme is as follows: The adapter mounting base 1 is used to connect with the robot's palm. After the other four fingers on the palm are connected, the palm can be used to grasp objects. When grasping objects, the pad of the dexterous thumb 6 should be able to align with any finger. To achieve this, when the dexterous thumb aligns with the finger, the servo motor 2 is activated and the gear 3 rotates. When the gear arc 4 meshes with the gear 3, it rotates ±30°, so that the pad of the dexterous thumb 6 faces any finger. Then, the servo motor 5 is activated, driving the dexterous thumb 6 to rotate within a range of 150°. The bending of the dexterous thumb 6 then completes the alignment with any finger.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: The device enables the dexterous thumb 6 to swing within a wide range and rotate at a certain angle on the adapter base 1 by setting servo motor 2 and servo motor 5 to work together. This increases the degree of freedom of the dexterous thumb 6, adjusts the angle of its palm, and achieves stable grasping of objects. Servo 2 and servo 25 are commonly used products in existing technology, with mature technology, low cost and high reliability.
[0022] Example 2: Reference Figures 1-11 The dexterous thumb 6 includes: a servo connector 7, a proximal phalanx 8, a middle phalanx 9, a fingertip 10, and a connecting rod 11. The two output ends of the dual-output servo are respectively connected to one side of the servo connector 7. The end of the proximal phalanx 8 is rotatably connected to the servo connector 7. The other end of the proximal phalanx 8 is connected to the end of the middle phalanx 9. The other end of the middle phalanx 9 is connected to the end of the fingertip 10. The ends of a connecting rod 11 are rotatably connected to both sides of the middle phalanx 9. The other end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the servo connector 7. The connecting rod 11 is located below the end of the middle phalanx 9.
[0023] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: When grasping an object, the dexterous thumb 6 needs to bend. At this time, the proximal phalanx 8 on the servo connector 7 is activated. With the cooperation of one end of the linkage 11 being rotatably connected to the middle phalanx 9 and the other end being rotatably connected to the top of the servo connector 7, the proximal phalanx 8 begins to bend downward relative to the servo connector 7, the middle phalanx 9 bends downward relative to the proximal phalanx 8, and the fingertip 10 bends downward relative to the middle phalanx 9. The linkage 11 is designed so that when the middle phalanx 9 bends downward relative to the proximal phalanx 8, the proximal phalanx 8 bends downward relative to the servo connector 7 simultaneously, making the bending action of the dexterous thumb 6 more closely resemble that of a real human thumb, further improving the stability of the device in grasping objects. Each of the phalanges 8, 9, and 10 has a protective shell. The two adjacent protective shells are hinged together. By setting the protective shells, not only is the similarity between the device and the human finger improved, but the internal structure of the finger is also protected. At the same time, the protective shells help improve the stability of the dexterous hand when grasping and pinching.
[0024] Example 3: Reference Figures 1-11 The proximal phalanx 8 includes: a motor 12, a worm gear 13, a mounting base 14, a worm wheel 15, and a rotating shaft 16. The end of the motor 12 is rotatably connected to the servo motor connecting base 7. The motor 12 is connected to the mounting base 14. The output end of the motor 12 is connected to the end of the worm gear 13. The other end of the worm gear 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 14. The worm gear 13 is meshed with the worm wheel 15. The worm wheel 15 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 14 through the rotating shaft 16. The rotating shaft 16 is connected to the end of the middle phalanx 9.
[0025] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: When the dexterity of the thumb 6 needs to be bent, the motor 12 is started. The motor 12 drives the worm gear 13 to rotate, and the worm wheel 15 connected to it rotates. The rotating shaft 16 rotates synchronously, driving the middle finger joint 9 to bend until it can cooperate with the other four fingers on the palm to grasp the object. While the middle finger joint 9 is bending, the middle finger joint 9 drives the end of the connecting rod 11 to rotate. The other end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the servo motor connecting seat 7, so that the motor 12, worm gear 13 and mounting seat 14 can move synchronously. When the dexterous thumb 6 needs to be straightened, the motor 12 is restarted. The motor 12 drives the worm gear 13 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the worm wheel 15 connected to it rotates in the opposite direction. The rotating shaft 16 rotates in the opposite direction synchronously, and drives the middle finger joint 9 to straighten until it returns to its original position. At this time, the connecting rod 11 can drive the motor 12, the worm gear 13 and the mounting base 14 to move in the opposite direction synchronously. The device achieves greater gripping force by placing the motor 12 inside the proximal phalanx 8 and directly driving the proximal phalanx 8. The design of link 11 not only facilitates coupling between the middle knuckle 9 and the proximal knuckle 8, but also allows the proximal knuckle 8 to be designed to be more slender. The design of the worm gear 15 and worm 13 not only achieves high transmission efficiency, but also, when combined with the motor 12, enables a self-locking function, thereby maintaining the stability of the device when gripping objects. By modifying the worm gear 15, the width of the device was greatly reduced.
[0026] Example 4: Reference Figures 1-11 The middle finger joint 9 includes: a middle finger joint frame 17 and a second rotating shaft 18. The rotating shaft 16 is connected to one end of the middle finger joint frame 17, and the other end of the middle finger joint frame 17 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 18. The second rotating shaft 18 is connected to the end of the fingertip 10, and a transmission mechanism is connected between the second rotating shaft 18 and the rotating shaft 16.
[0027] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: When the proximal phalanx 8 is bent, the middle phalanx frame 17 bends synchronously. Since the middle phalanx frame 17 is rotatably connected to the second pivot 18, and the second pivot 18 is connected to the end of the fingertip 10, the fingertip 10 can be bent relative to the middle phalanx frame 17 under the action of the transmission mechanism. When the proximal phalanx 8 is straightened, the middle phalanx frame 17 is straightened synchronously. Since the middle phalanx frame 17 is rotatably connected to the second pivot 18, and the second pivot 18 is connected to the end of the fingertip 10, the fingertip 10 can be bent relative to the middle phalanx frame 17 under the reverse action of the transmission mechanism. The consistency of bending and straightening of the fingertip 10, middle phalanx 9 and proximal phalanx 8 is further improved by setting the transmission mechanism.
[0028] Example 5: Reference Figures 1-11 The transmission mechanism includes: an incomplete sprocket 19, an incomplete sprocket 20, an open chain 21, and a barb 22. An incomplete sprocket 19 is fixed to each of the two inner walls of the mounting base 14. The top of the incomplete sprocket 19 meshes with the bottom of one end of the open chain 21, and the bottom of the incomplete sprocket 20 meshes with the top of the other end of the open chain 21. The incomplete sprocket 20 is connected to a rotating shaft 18. The incomplete sprocket 19 and the incomplete sprocket 20 have the same structure. The barb 22 on the incomplete sprocket 19 is engaged with a pin at one end of the open chain 21. The other barb 22 on the incomplete sprocket 20 is engaged with a pin at the other end of the open chain 21. The openings of the barbs 22 face the mounting base 14, and the two barbs 22 face the same direction. The incomplete sprocket 19 is concentrically set with the shaft 16.
[0029] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: The open chain 21 is connected to the incomplete sprocket 19 and the second incomplete sprocket 20 in an "S" shape. The bottom of one end of the open chain 21 is connected to the top of the incomplete sprocket 19, and the top of the other end of the open chain 21 is connected to the bottom of the second incomplete sprocket 20. The pins at both ends of the open chain 21 are respectively hung in a barb 22. When the proximal phalanx 8 bends, that is, when the synchronous mounting base 14 bends, since the incomplete sprocket 19 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 14 and the rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 14, the middle phalanx frame 17 is driven to rotate. At this time, the height of the second incomplete sprocket 20 decreases, the second incomplete sprocket 20 releases the open chain 21, and the incomplete sprocket 19 stores the open chain 21. Therefore, the open chain 21 moves towards the mounting base 14. The counterclockwise rotating second incomplete sprocket 20 drives the second rotating shaft 18 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the fingertip 10 to bend. When the proximal phalanx 8 is straightened, that is, when the synchronous mounting base 14 is straightened, the middle phalanx frame 17 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the height of the incomplete sprocket 20 rises, the incomplete sprocket 20 retracts the open chain 21, and the incomplete sprocket 19 releases the open chain 21. Therefore, the open chain 21 moves away from the mounting base 14. The clockwise rotating incomplete sprocket 20 drives the rotating shaft 18 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the fingertip 10 to straighten. By setting up a miniature open chain 21 structure, the synchronous movement of the proximal phalanx 8, the middle phalanx 9 and the fingertip 10 is achieved. The open chain 21 has the strength of a rod structure, the flexibility of a tendon cord structure and the precision of a gear structure meshing connection, while avoiding the shortcomings of the above three structures in terms of flexibility, creep resistance and wear resistance. Furthermore, based on the open chain 21, a dexterous thumb 6 is made, which has the advantages of good grasping and enveloping properties and can achieve a wide range of bending of the thumb tip; The device uses an open chain 21 and a connecting rod 11 to work together, which realizes the linkage between the various finger joint mechanisms in the device. The number of open chains 21 is reasonably arranged according to the characteristics of the device, making full use of the internal space of the device. Furthermore, the setting of open chains 21 can ensure that there is a stable transmission ratio and torque between the various finger joint mechanisms. Because the open chain 21 inside the device is set in an "S" shape, when the device is subjected to an impact force from above, the open chain 21 can be compressed and folded to prevent damage to the dexterous thumb 6. In addition, the open chain 21 in the "S" shape is always in a taut state, so there is no polygonal effect and the transmission will be very smooth. Using the barb 22 to connect the open chain 21, the component connection method is simple and safe, making full use of the remaining space of the parts and reducing the manufacturing cost of the device; Example 6: Reference Figures 1-11The top of the middle finger joint frame 17 is horizontally connected to a positioning pin 23, and the end of a tension spring 24 is hung on the positioning pin 23. The other end of the tension spring 24 is hung in the slot of the second positioning pin 25, and the bottom of the second positioning pin 25 is connected to the top of the fingertip 10.
[0030] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: When the dexterous thumb 6 bends, the length of the tension spring 24 increases. When the dexterous thumb 6 straightens, the tension spring 24 returns to its original position. The tension spring 24 can be used to apply a preload to the open chain 21 and the dexterous thumb 6. When the dexterous thumb 6 returns to its original position, the force of the tension spring 24 can help the device return to its original position.
[0031] Example 7: Reference Figures 1-11 A force sensor is connected to the bottom of the fingertip 10. The force sensor is electrically connected to the control system, and the control system is electrically connected to the motor 12.
[0032] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: A force sensor is provided at the bottom of the fingertip 10, i.e. the fingertip, to feed back the force applied to the object by the device to the control system. Through the processing of the control system, the angle of rotation of the worm gear 13 driven by the output end of the motor 12 is adjusted in time to reduce or increase the pressure applied to the object. The control system is electrically connected to the power supply, so the power supply provides power to the control system. After processing by the control system, the electrical energy is distributed to the motor 12 to achieve the purpose of controlling the rotation of the worm gear 13. The device forms a closed loop by setting up a force sensor, a control system, and a motor 12. It can analyze the data from the force sensor and adjust the input value of the motor 12 to effectively control the pressure applied to the object.
[0033] Example 8: Reference Figures 1-11 A gear processing machine is used to manufacture the gear 3 in the thumb of a large-angle turntable dexterous hand as described above, to ensure that the gear 3 meets the requirements of the dexterous hand system for transmission accuracy and reliability. The gear processing machine includes: a base 26, a hob 27, a cooling pipe 28, an external spray pipe 29, a retaining ring 30, a limiting nut 31, and an adjusting mechanism 32. The base 26 is connected to the bottom of the second motor through a horizontal moving mechanism, and the output end of the second motor is connected to the hob 27. A cooling pipe 28 is rotatably connected to the base 26. Multiple guide holes 56 are opened through the inner wall of the cooling pipe 28. One end of a sleeve 57 is connected to the base 26. The sleeve 57 is coaxially arranged outside the cooling pipe 28. The other end of the sleeve 57 is connected to the adjustment mechanism 32. The inner wall of the sleeve 57 is connected to the bottom of the external spray pipe 29. A retaining ring 30 is connected to the cooling pipe 28. A limit nut 31 is threadedly connected to the end of the cooling pipe 28. The output end of the external spray pipe 29 is positioned between the retaining ring 30 and the limit nut 31. The other end of the cooling pipe 28 is connected to the coolant delivery mechanism through the adjustment mechanism 32. The cutting end of the hob 27 is perpendicular to the end face of the limit nut 31. A worm gear ring 33 is connected to the cooling pipe 28. The worm gear ring 33 is meshed with a worm 34. The worm 34 is connected to the output end of a motor 35. The motor 35 is connected to the base 26.
[0034] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: The precision of gear 3 determines the accuracy of the dexterous thumb 6 when it opposes the other fingers. Therefore, the precision requirements for gear 3 during machining are extremely high. Thus, when machining with hob 27, special attention should be paid to the cooling effect of gear 3 during machining. After placing the blank on the cooling pipe 28, one end face of the blank is brought into contact with the retaining ring 30. Then, the limiting nut 31 is rotated to bring it into contact with the other end face of the cooling pipe 28, thus fixing the blank. Before machining the gear, the coolant delivery mechanism inputs coolant into the cooling pipe 28 through the adjusting mechanism 32. (Previous technology) When machining gear components, cooling methods include immersion cooling, which involves placing the gear component and tooling in a flowing coolant before machining. However, immersion cooling has the following problems: uneven cooling effect, high coolant consumption, and while the immersion coolant is a good lubricant, it can form a thin film on the machined surface during machining, interfering with the contact between the tool and the gear blank and leading to reduced machining accuracy. In addition, immersion gear machining consumes a lot of coolant, resulting in high pressure on the filtration system, requiring a complete overhaul of the filtration system. Therefore, the blank needs to be cooled by using a combination of cooling pipe 28 and external spray pipe 29. During processing, part of the coolant is sprayed onto the side wall of the blank through the external spray pipe 29, and the other part of the coolant flows out through the cooling pipe 28. When the hob 27 is processing the teeth, the coolant can cool down the teeth and hob 27 during processing, and can also cool down the inside of the blank to prevent the blank from thermal deformation due to the temperature rise, thereby reducing the phenomenon of reduced gear 3 processing accuracy caused by temperature rise. During gear machining, the horizontal moving mechanism drives the second motor to move on the base 26. Specifically, the horizontal moving mechanism is a mechanism composed of a motor component, a screw, and a screw block, as in the prior art. The output end of the motor component on the base 26 is connected to the screw, and the screw block on the screw is slidably connected to the base 26. The top of the screw block is connected to the second motor. Each time a tooth groove is machined, the second motor moves towards the blank and causes the rotating hob 27 connected to its output end to machine the tooth groove on the side wall of the blank. After machining a tooth groove, the horizontal moving mechanism drives the second motor to reset and prepare for the next tooth groove machining until the machining is completed. After machining a tooth groove, the blank needs to be rotated synchronously. At this time, the motor 35 starts, and the worm gear 24 connected to its output end rotates synchronously. With the rotational cooperation of the cooling pipe 28 and the base 26, the worm gear 234 drives the worm wheel ring 33 that meshes with it to rotate, so as to avoid the phenomenon of incomplete tooth groove machining. Both ends of the second sleeve 57 are sealed with multiple guide holes 56. The coolant in the external nozzle 29 is supplied by entering the cooling pipe 28 through the regulating mechanism 32, and then entering the second sleeve 57 through the guide holes 56 on the cooling pipe 28 before being discharged into the external nozzle 29.
[0035] Example 9: Reference Figures 1-11 The adjusting mechanism 32 includes: a sleeve 36, one end of which is connected to the other end of a second sleeve 57, the sleeve 36 being fixed to the base 26, the inner wall of the sleeve 36 being provided with a tapered section 37, the inner wall of the tapered section 37 being disposed away from the cooling pipe 28, a sealing column 38 being slidably and sealingly connected inside the sleeve 36, the end of the sealing column 38 being connected to the bottom end of a tapered column 39, the top end of the tapered column 39 being disposed away from the cooling pipe 28, the other end of the sealing column 38 being connected to the end of a screw 40, the side wall of the screw 40 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 36, and the side wall of the screw 40 being threadedly connected to a nut 41 on the inner wall of the cooling pipe 28; The top of the conical column 39 is placed inside the conical segment 37; Nut 241 is concentrically positioned with cooling pipe 28; The inner diameter of the tapered section 37 near the end of the second sleeve 57 is smaller than the inner diameter of the section away from the end of the second sleeve 57.
[0036] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: Before machining the tooth grooves, coolant needs to be supplied. The rotating cooling pipe 28 drives the nut 41 to rotate synchronously. With the sliding fit between the screw 40 and the inner wall of the sleeve 36, the screw 40 moves away from the cooling pipe 28, and the sealing column 38 ends the sealing of the sleeve 36. Simultaneously, the conical column 39 moves. The top diameter of the conical column 39 is set smaller than its bottom diameter. After the coolant is connected, as the conical column 39 moves, the distance between the side wall of the conical column 39 and the inner wall of the conical section 37 becomes larger and larger. Therefore, the volume of coolant flowing out of the cooling pipe 28 becomes larger and larger. It can be seen that after machining each tooth groove, the volume of coolant flowing out increases once. Therefore, while cooling the outside of the blank, it can also cool the outside of the blank. Moreover, as the number of machined tooth grooves increases, the coolant discharge automatically increases to simultaneously consume the heat generated on the blank during machining. On the basis of improving heat dissipation efficiency, it reduces thermal deformation and improves machining accuracy. After processing is completed, the cooling pipe 28 rotates in the opposite direction, and the screw 40 moves toward the cooling pipe 28. After the sealing column 38 begins to seal the sleeve 36, the coolant in the cooling pipe 28 and the external spray pipe 29 is discharged.
[0037] Example 10: Reference Figures 1-11 The base 26 has a screen 42 inclined in the middle. The bottom end of the screen 42 is connected to the top end of the guide plate 46. The bottom end of the guide plate 46 is set towards the cooling pipe 28. The side of the screen 42 is connected to the auxiliary drive component to drive the screen 42 to move back and forth relative to the axis of the cooling pipe 28. The bottom end of the screen 42 is horizontally provided with a vibrating rack 43. The arc-shaped tooth groove of the vibrating rack 43 is slidably engaged with the bottom end of the guide plate 46. The cross section of the bottom end of the guide plate 46 is semi-circular. The vibrating rack 43 is connected to the top side wall of the collection box 44 and the debris collection box 45. The bottom end of the screen 42 is set towards the opening at the top of the collection box 44. The collection box 44 and the debris collection box 45 are arranged adjacent to each other. The bottom surface of the guide plate 46 is set towards the opening at the top of the debris collection box 45. The top of the screen 42 is positioned facing the cooling pipe 28.
[0038] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: As the billet is processed, metal scraps flow through the flowing coolant to the screen 42. After passing through the screen 42, the coolant flows into the collection box 44 for unified collection for the next use. Residual coolant will adhere to the screen 42. As the amount of metal scraps increases, screen 42 will become clogged. At this time, the auxiliary drive is activated to move the screen 42 forward or backward in front of the cooling pipe 28. The bottom end of the screen 42 begins to rub against the vibrating rack 43 and vibrates in the inclined direction. The guide plate 46 shakes the metal scraps into the scrap collection box 45. Simultaneously, some of the residual coolant will enter the scrap collection box 45. The mixture in the scrap collection box 45 can be recycled by letting it stand and filtering multiple times.
[0039] Example 11: Reference Figures 1-11 The auxiliary driving component includes: a waist-shaped groove 47, with an equal number of waist-shaped grooves 47 on each side of the screen 42, a slider 48 slidably connected inside the waist-shaped groove 47, the slider 48 being connected to the inner wall of the waist-shaped groove 47 by a spring 49, the slider 48 being connected to the end face of the connecting plate 50, the side wall of the connecting plate 50 being parallel to the screen 42, the other end face of the connecting plate 50 being connected to the end of the second slider 51, the second slider 51 being slidably connected to the base 26, a mounting frame 52 being connected to the second slider 51, a rack 53 being connected to the top and bottom of the mounting frame 52, the rack 53 being meshed with a special-shaped tooth 54, the special-shaped tooth 54 being connected to the output end of the fourth motor 55, and the fourth motor 55 being connected to the base 26.
[0040] The principles and beneficial effects of the above scheme are as follows: When the screen 42 needs to move back and forth, the motor 455 starts, and the irregular teeth 54 at the output end of the motor 455 rotates. The irregular teeth 54 mesh with the two racks 53 connected vertically inside the mounting frame 52. The mounting frame 52 moves back and forth, and the slider 2 51 moves back and forth synchronously. The connecting plate 50 moves back and forth. Under the sliding cooperation of the arc-shaped tooth groove and the bottom of the guide plate 46 which has a semi-circular cross section, the slider 48 moves up and down relative to the waist-shaped groove 47. The spring 49 is repeatedly compressed and reset, and the auxiliary screen 42 repeatedly shakes in its inclined direction.
