Description

Type Double helix flexible joint is stretched in pneumatic rotation
Technical field
The present invention relates to robot limb flexible joint, stretch type particularly to a kind of pneumatic rotation double Helical flexible joint.
Background technology
Robotics is widely used, in fields such as industry, military, medical treatment and services at present One of grand strategy support technology becoming countries in the world.Key technology and core as robot Heart parts, the diarthrodial structure of all kinds of masters, driving, exercise performance and control method, will determine The integral level of robot.At terrestrial, aquatic and anthropomorphic robot field, limbs flexible joint In terms of solving the adaptability of compliant motion and crawl object, there is important function.Therefore, for many years Come both at home and abroad and flexible joint is conducted in-depth research and achieved gratifying results, research main Content has articulated driving equipment, driving material and the realization of flexibility of joint structure.Wherein joint is driven Dynamic structure and control mode are research emphasis, and driving material is Research Challenges.
The flexible joint researched and developed both at home and abroad mainly has driven by servomotor, hydraulic-driven, cylinder Several forms such as driving, conducting polymer, electroluminescent driving and artificial-muscle driving.Wherein apply Driven by servomotor, hydraulic pressure and the flexible joint of cylinder type of drive, its technology is mature on the whole, Being widely used, but volume is relatively big, flexibility of joint degree is restricted;And conducting polymer and electricity Cause to drive stroke less, be mainly used in amphiarthrosis;Pneumatic artificial muscle drives to be had preferably Comprehensive flexible, it is developed rapidly in recent years, but has stronger non-linear.The most several Driving means will be big with the use of, volume with frame for movement in application process, and miniaturization is stranded Difficulty, the movement locus in joint is determined by frame for movement, and compliance is poor.
Therefore, current existing artificial joint still can not fully meet in the bigger work of variation The special requirement in the field such as bionical and specialized robot in the carrying of industry product, water, it is necessary to continue Exploitation has the joint of highly flexible.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to overcome the deficiency of prior art, it is provided that a kind of robot limb is used Type Double helix flexible joint is stretched in pneumatic rotation, uses spiral elasticity body directional expansion mode to drive, real Now rotate, bend and extend function.
The pneumatic rotation of one of the present invention stretches type Double helix flexible joint, including confinement element, joint Skeleton, air bag, cylindrically coiled spring, upper end cover, bottom end cover, upper cover, low head, stream Body entrance, is provided with several confinement elements between upper end cover and bottom end cover, described several about Bundle element coaxially connect solid matter formed column structure, be internally formed central diameter at column structure different Two groups of coaxial toroidal-shaped cavity, are called toroidal-shaped cavity one and toroidal-shaped cavity Two, at the common axis of two groups of coaxial spiral tubular cavities, form cylindrical cavity, at cylinder Arranging joint skeleton in shape cavity, joint skeleton two ends are fixed even with upper end cover, bottom end cover respectively Connect;Toroidal-shaped cavity one quantity is 2, and initial phase difference is 180 °, at described spiral Tubular cavity one arranges cylindrically coiled spring, the two ends of cylindrically coiled spring respectively with upper end Lid, bottom end cover are fixedly connected into one;Toroidal-shaped cavity two quantity is 2, initial phase Difference is 180 °, arranges air bag in toroidal-shaped cavity two, balloon ends respectively with upper cover, Low head connect, constitute seal cavity, upper cover and low head respectively with described upper end cover, under End cap is fixedly connected into one, is provided with fluid intake, with charged pressure fluid on low head.
Described air bag has two, and each air bag caliber, central diameter, pitch, rotation direction and the number of turns are complete Identical;Two air bags constitute double-spiral structure.
Described air bag is one, for single coil configuration.
Described confinement element is lamellar, and profile is circular or regular polygon, the hollow out of confinement element Part is referred to as threaded hole, and threaded hole has two groups, and described threaded hole is that two groups of toroidal-shaped cavity exist The partial structurtes of confinement element, the central diameter of threaded hole is equal in corresponding toroidal-shaped cavity Footpath, on same confinement element, the phase contrast between two groups of threaded hole is by axial position, confinement element place Put decision.
Described skeleton is flexible shaft or axial scalable axle sleeve.
Described flexible shaft is cylindrically coiled spring or rubber axis;Axial scalable axle sleeve by sleeve and Optical axis forms, sleeve and optical axis matched in clearance.
Low head is provided with fluid intake, with charged pressure fluid, increases when being filled with fluid pressure Adding or pressurizing balloon quantity increases, annular seal space volume expansion promotes confinement element to move and makes joint deformity Strengthening, reduce or the minimizing of pressurizing balloon quantity when being filled with fluid pressure, spring recovers, and joint becomes Shape reduces, and deformation is relevant with described bound form, and when skeleton is flexible shaft, joint is sent out Life is reversed, is bent and extend composite deformation, and when skeleton is scalable axle sleeve, joint is turned round Turn and elongation composite deformation;Described it is filled with fluid, can be medium corrosion-free, avirulent, Such as compressed air, water etc..
It is an advantage of the invention that arthritic volume is compact, main diarthrodial two spiral artificial-muscles drive Dynamic device is complex as a whole with joint body;This joint has 2 degree of freedom, can realize bionical The functions such as the Plane Rotation in joint, bending and axial elongation, have the most comprehensive flexible;Root Install different skeletons additional according to needing, can be respectively completed that plane rotation is curved stretches and two kinds of groups of one direction precession The amoeboid movement of syntype;Can use two proportioning valves, or a proportioning valve and two reversal valves Carrying out motor control, method is the most easy to control;The arm being mainly used in bio-robot turns Dynamic with on bending joint, it is particularly suited for software in thumb base joint, machine fish pectoral fin and water On the joint of animal.
