A self-sensing self-adaptive deformable wheel tensioned and integrally supported by a paper folding configuration
shape memory alloy wire belongs to the technical field of
mechanical engineering and robots and is composed of a paper folding deformable module, a self-sensing module and a driving module, and the modules cooperate to realize the functions of wheel
diameter dynamic adjustment, load self-sensing,
terrain self-adaptive deformation and rigid-flexible
coupling adjustment. The paper folding deformable module is designed based on an improved water bomb inlaid paper folding pattern, and an overlapping face, a small flexible piece and an additional face are additionally arranged to improve deformation flexibility. The self-sensing module comprises a
tensegrity structure, continuous rigidity switching is achieved through pre-tightening force adjustment, and the load is monitored in real time through the strain-resistance effect of a
shape memory alloy wire; and the driving module is directly driven by a radial electric push rod to realize wheel
diameter change to adapt to terrains. By means of the structure-sensing-driving
integrated design, the intelligent self-adaptive
robot has the advantages of being light in weight, high in
bearing capacity and intelligent and self-adaptive, and is suitable for complex
terrain moving platforms such as deep
space probe vehicles and disaster relief robots.
