Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotic hands, and in particular to a highly flexible robotic finger and robotic hand that supports both forward and reverse gripping. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly evolving robotics technology, robots are widely used in various fields such as industrial automation, healthcare, and service industries, becoming a vital force driving social progress and industrial upgrading. As the core execution component of a robot, the design and performance of its robotic hand fingers directly affect the robot's work efficiency, task adaptability, and user satisfaction. However, existing robotic hand fingers generally suffer from complex and cumbersome construction and insufficient flexibility. These problems have become key factors restricting the further development and widespread adoption of robotics technology, mainly manifested in the following aspects:

[0003] (1) Complex and cumbersome construction: The fingers of traditional robot manipulators usually adopt a multi-layered, multi-joint mechanical structure, involving a complex transmission system and precision assembly process. Although this design can achieve high precision and stability, it also brings problems such as high manufacturing costs, difficult maintenance, and difficulty in upgrading and expanding. The complex structure makes the diagnosis and repair process cumbersome and time-consuming when the manipulator fails, affecting the continuity and efficiency of the production line. In addition, highly customized manipulator designs often limit their versatility and interchangeability, increasing the user's operating costs and investment risks.

[0004] (2) Insufficient flexibility: Flexibility is an important indicator of a robot's ability to adapt to diverse tasks. The fingers of existing robots are limited by their cumbersome and complex physical structure, making it difficult to make flexible adjustments according to changes in the working environment. When faced with complex and ever-changing work scenarios, such as grasping irregular objects or tracking dynamic environments, traditional robots often exhibit limitations and cannot meet task requirements.

[0005] (3) Poor biomimicry: When performing fine operations, the existing robot's manipulator is difficult to achieve the flexibility and precision of a human hand due to the limitations of its joint rigidity and motion control. This to some extent limits the application of robots in high-end manufacturing, precision assembly and other fields. Utility Model Content

[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first driving unit 101 is embedded in the end finger segment 1, and the first driving unit 101 is arranged along the length direction of the end finger segment 1, with its output end facing the first bevel gear transmission unit 102; the second driving unit 201 is embedded in the middle finger segment 2, and the second driving unit 201 is arranged along the length direction of the middle finger segment 2, with its output end facing the first bevel gear transmission unit 102; the output end of the first driving unit 101 is rotatably connected to one side of the first bevel gear transmission unit 102, and the output end of the second driving unit 201 is rotatably connected to the other side of the first bevel gear transmission unit 102; by providing the first driving unit 101 in the end finger segment 1, the first driving unit 101 and the second driving unit 201 can jointly control the rotation of the end finger segment 1. When the robotic arm performs high-precision or continuous gripping actions, the gripping action of the end finger segment 1 can be fine-tuned or locked through the two driving units, achieving more stable and faster knuckle control. The third drive unit 301 is embedded in the base finger segment 3. The third drive unit 301 is arranged along the length direction of the base finger segment 3, and the output end of the third drive unit 301 is oriented towards the second bevel gear transmission unit 202. The output end of the third drive unit 301 is rotatably connected to the second bevel gear transmission unit 202. Specifically, the first drive unit 101, the second drive unit 201, and the third drive unit 301 have the same structure, all of which adopt: a micro drive motor 6 and a first transmission bevel gear 7. The micro drive motor 6 is embedded inside the finger joint along the length direction of the finger joint. The first transmission bevel gear 7 is sleeved on the output shaft of the micro drive motor 6, and the first transmission bevel gear 7 is coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the micro drive motor 6. The micro drive motor 6 drives the first transmission bevel gear 7 to rotate around the output shaft of the micro drive motor 6 as the central axis. Then, through the transmission effect of the first transmission bevel gear 7 and the corresponding bevel gear transmission unit, the finger joint is driven to rotate around the bevel gear transmission unit as the axis.

[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first bevel gear transmission unit 102, the second bevel gear transmission unit 202, and the third bevel gear transmission unit 302 have the same structure, all employing: a pair of symmetrically arranged second transmission bevel gears 8 and a horizontally arranged transmission shaft 5; to achieve the installation of the above-mentioned bevel gear transmission units, a connecting groove is provided at the end of the finger joint, the transmission shaft 5 is horizontally arranged in the connecting groove, and both ends of the transmission shaft 5 are connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove. The two second transmission bevel gears 8 are respectively symmetrically sleeved on the transmission shaft 5, with a distance between the two second transmission bevel gears 8, and the two second transmission bevel gears 8 are located on both sides of the corresponding first transmission bevel gear 7. One of the second transmission bevel gears 8 is fixedly sleeved on the transmission shaft 5 to drive the transmission shaft 5 to rotate, and the center of the other second transmission bevel gear 8 is... The second transmission bevel gear 8, rotatably connected to the transmission shaft 5 via a bearing, acts as a balancing gear during transmission, allowing it to idle and preventing uneven load. One side of this idle second transmission bevel gear 8 is connected to one side wall of the connecting groove via a bearing seat 9. Specifically, the tooth surfaces of the two second transmission bevel gears 8 are arranged opposite each other, and the tooth surfaces of the corresponding first transmission bevel gear 7 are arranged facing the two second transmission bevel gears 8. The two second transmission bevel gears 8 mesh with the corresponding first transmission bevel gear 7. The rotation direction of the second transmission bevel gear 8 is the same as that of the corresponding finger joint. The micro drive motor 6 drives the first transmission bevel gear 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the two second transmission bevel gears 8 to rotate around their gear center positions. The finger joint rotates in the same direction as the rotation of the second transmission bevel gear 8 fixed on the transmission shaft, thereby achieving multi-angle control of the finger joint.

[0057] As one embodiment of this utility model, in order to enable the mechanical finger to achieve the aforementioned interference-free movement within a large angle range, a first hinge groove 103 is provided at the beginning of the middle finger segment 2 corresponding to the position of the end finger segment 1. The end of the end finger segment 1 is inserted into the first hinge groove 103, and the drive shaft 5 at the end of the end finger segment 1 extends out from both sides of its connecting groove and is rotatably connected to the two side walls of the first hinge groove 103.

The rotational connection relationship between all the aforementioned drive shafts 5 and the groove wall or side wall can be achieved by installing bearing seats on the groove wall or side wall and connecting the end of the drive shaft 5 to the bearing seat or other conventional rotational connection methods.

[0058] In one embodiment of this utility model, the modules of the two second transmission bevel gears 8 are both greater than the module of the first transmission bevel gear 7, and the diameters of the two second transmission bevel gears 8 are both greater than the diameter of the first transmission bevel gear 7. Furthermore, the operating principle of the bevel gear transmission unit is further explained as follows:

[0059] When the micro drive motor 6 operates, it drives the first transmission bevel gear 7 to rotate. At this time, the first transmission bevel gear 7 drives two second transmission bevel gears 8 to rotate. The second transmission bevel gear 8 fixed on the transmission shaft 5 drives the transmission shaft 5 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 5 in turn drives the finger joint to rotate around the transmission shaft 5 as the central axis. The other second transmission bevel gear 8 connected to the transmission shaft 5 through a bearing rotates freely with the first transmission bevel gear 7 to prevent uneven load. Finally, the finger joint rotates in the same direction as the rotation of the second transmission bevel gear 8. Through the above cooperation, the force output by the micro drive motor 6 is transmitted as the rotational force of the finger joint.

The first transmission bevel gear 7 of the fourth drive unit 4 meshes with the two second transmission bevel gears 8 of the third bevel gear transmission unit 302. The fourth drive unit 4 drives the base finger segment 3 to rotate around the third bevel gear transmission unit 302 as the central axis.

[0064] Furthermore, when the mechanical finger of Embodiment 1 is used in the mechanical hand of this embodiment, a third hinge groove is provided at the end of the base finger segment, and a hinge part is provided on the mechanical hand corresponding to the position of the base finger segment. This hinge part has a structure similar to the end of the finger segment and also has a corresponding connecting groove.

Here, the two ends of the transmission shaft 5 of the third bevel gear transmission unit are rotatably connected to the groove wall of the connecting groove of the hinge part. The two ends of the transmission shaft 5 of the base finger segment pass through its connecting groove and are keyed / fixedly connected to the groove wall of the adjacent third hinge groove, realizing the hinge between the knuckle and the palm of the mechanical hand.
