Description

Bistable micro electromagnetic valve and micro pneumatic system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of artificial intelligence or tactile feedback, in particular to a bistable micro electromagnetic valve and a micro pneumatic system.
Background
Space on-orbit service and maintenance and deep space exploration of extraterrestrial celestial bodies (such as ' Chang ' e ' moon exploration plan and the like) are considered to be the leading-edge fields of space technological development, have strong outlook, creation subversion and promotion, and have very important roles in exploring life origin and identifying new substance characteristic information of human beings to lead modern technological development. As is well known, in-orbit service and maintenance and detection of unknown stars have a great deal of unpredictable risks, and therefore, in severe, dangerous and harmful environments where humans are difficult to involve or cannot reach, remote controllers such as mobile robots/manipulators, detection vehicles and the like are required to replace humans to complete complex space operation tasks. This means that the space moving technology required by the remote-controlled robot has been developed from a simple structured environment to a complex unstructured environment, and it is necessary to have the touch/force sense and other bionic sensing functions, so as to further promote the human exploration process for unknown terrain, unknown objects, unknown fields and the like on extraterrestrial celestial bodies, and it has very important research significance and application value.
A remote-controlled robot is a machine which can make human sense and mechanically operate distant objects, and mainly operates the robot at a certain place which is not the real position of the robot. The remote control robot comprises: an artificial sensor for sensing an external environment; an actuator movable into a specified environment; and the network channel is communicated with the human. To perform complex spatial tasks, teleoperated robots may also contain artificial devices (such as arms, hands, etc.) for generating forces to perform mechanical work in the environment.
If the user receives sufficient information about the teleoperated robot and its remote environment, he feels as if he is, which is called "telepresence". The illusion of "telepresence" is noticeable when the telerobot passes a large amount of information to the user in a very realistic manner. The main way to achieve this is to achieve transparency of the teleoperation system (which may be defined as correlation of the master and manipulated positions/forces, or matching of the environmental impedance and the operator impedance), in particular by means of a long-to-short information flow in different ways.
Haptic feedback is one of such information flows, playing an important role in enhancing the teleoperational immersive experience. Since the 50 s of the 20 th century, the term "tactile" originated in greek has been used in psychology. This can be an important communication medium following both audio and visual. In order to successfully manipulate objects in a remote environment or virtual/augmented reality, it is required that the user be able to immerse in the environment of the object being manipulated. For this reason, in the past two decades, haptic devices that enable users to feel objects through physical interaction by means of haptic sensation have been developed, i.e., users are allowed to obtain haptic information of sensed objects by sensing feedback force generated by haptic feedback means.
In the teleoperation field, an operator at a near end can remotely control a remote-end telerobot through an interactive flexible tactile feedback glove to realize various operations of grabbing, moving, pinching, fixing objects and the like, meanwhile, the telerobot can identify tactile information of an operated target object, such as motion state, contour, surface roughness, hardness, temperature and the like, and convert the tactile information into an electric signal to be transmitted to the interactive flexible tactile feedback glove in real time, and a tactile feedback structure in the glove can feed back real-time tactile information of a sensed object at the far end so as to simulate real information of a world at the far end. If the operator receives sufficient information about the teleoperated robot and its remote environment and can accurately feed back the remote tactile information in real time through the interactive tactile feedback glove, he feels as if he is, which is called "telepresence". The immersion experience makes up the defect that the space teleoperation field only adopts a visual and auditory interaction mode at the present stage, and opens up a new place in the space teleoperation or Augmented Reality (AR) field. For example, in the process of sampling a target planet, the detection robot firstly identifies the position and other visual information of a substance to be grabbed preliminarily through a remotely shot image, and can grasp the touch information such as the appearance, weight and the like of the substance to be grabbed in real time by utilizing the interactive flexible touch feedback glove, so that an operator can judge whether the substance to be grabbed is a required substance accurately and intuitively, and thus, the detection robot provides the most valuable sample for a detection vehicle with limited sampling space or sampling weight.
The device or the mode for realizing the tactile feedback can be realized by rigid mechanical devices such as a motor, an electromagnet, a hydraulic mechanism and the like generally, but the device or the mode has the problems of complex structure, large volume and the like, so that the applicability of the device or the mode is restricted, and the device or the mode for realizing the tactile feedback has more and more attracted attention from people when the pneumatic technology is applied to the technical field of the tactile feedback along with the development of a flexible pneumatic driver.
In particular, since the haptic feedback system is a small or micro system, elements in general pneumatic technology, etc. are not suitable. In a haptic feedback system, to ensure that the pneumatic actuator operates at a particular pressure, the pneumatic circuit system generally requires a plurality of flow valves to regulate the pneumatic pressure of each pneumatic circuit. For small and micro air channel systems (the size of the solenoid valve is centimeter level), such as a flexible pneumatic soft gripper, a flexible touch feedback driver and the like, the existing commercial pneumatic valve has the disadvantages of large size, larger occupied space, heavier weight and high energy consumption, and the existing micro solenoid valve is often accompanied by serious heating phenomenon, thus being not beneficial to the control and integration of a driving system and hindering the microminiaturization development of the flexible pneumatic driver.
Therefore, how to better utilize the pneumatic technology and solve the control problem of a small or micro air channel system at the same time, and provide a control valve with better applicability is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

The valve body 1 comprises an air inlet 101, an air outlet 102 and an air pressure indicating port 103, wherein the interiors of the air inlet 101, the air outlet 102 and the air pressure indicating port 103 are communicated with each other; an elastic blocking film 104 is arranged inside the opening of the air pressure indication 103, and scales 105 are arranged outside the opening; the valve core 2 is shown in fig. 2, and comprises core heads 201 arranged at two ends and a connecting piece for connecting the two core heads, the connecting piece is a connecting rod, the core heads 201 are made of permanent magnet materials, and the structure of the valve core 2 is similar to a dumbbell shape. The axial length of the whole valve body 1 does not exceed 2 cm.
In order to reduce impact and avoid noise, the outer side of the core print 201 is coated with an elastic body 202, and the elastic body 202 can be made of silica gel or flexible plastic material; the elastic body 202 is not only used for buffering the impact force generated by the valve body 1 when the valve core 2 moves instantly, but also can be attached to the inner wall of the valve body 1 more closely, so that the air leakage phenomenon is avoided.
The upper part and the lower part of the outer side wall of the valve body 1 are wound with a coil 3, after the coil 3 is electrified, a magnetic field is formed in the valve body 1, and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the coil 3 is parallel to the direction of the magnetic field of the core print 201; the top and the bottom of the valve body 1 are properly provided with the adsorption sheet 4 and fixed; the coil 3 is connected with an external control circuit 8, and the position of the valve core 2 is changed by electrifying, so that the working state of the micro valve is changed.
In order to improve the working flexibility of the miniature electromagnetic valve, the coils 3 are wound at two ends of the valve body and are respectively connected with a power supply for independent control.
In the bistable miniature electromagnetic valve provided by the invention, the valve core 2 is arranged in the cylindrical cavity of the valve body 1, the outer diameter of the core head 201 is matched with the inner diameter of the cylindrical cavity, and the N-S level direction of the core head 201 is parallel to the axial direction of the cylindrical cavity; the valve core 2 can slide along the axial direction of the cylindrical cavity; the coil 3 is wound outside the valve body and generates a magnetic field parallel to the axial direction of the cylindrical cavity after being electrified; after the coil 3 is electrified, the valve core 2 can be driven to move to two ends in the cylindrical cavity of the valve body 1, and when the valve core 2 is positioned at one end in the cylindrical cavity, the air inlet 101 is communicated with the air outlet 102; when the valve core 2 is positioned at the other end in the cylindrical cavity, one of the valve cores seals the air outlet 102, and the air inlet 101 is cut off from the air outlet 102.
Regarding the setting position of the air pressure display port 103, the distance between the two core heads 201 and the moving range of the valve core 2 in the valve body 1 need to be considered, and it is ensured that the air inlet 101 and the air pressure display port 103 are communicated no matter the valve core is in any working position, so as to ensure that the air pressure display port 103 can always detect and feed back the air pressure condition inside the valve body 1.

On the contrary, when the upper coil 3 is energized, the coil 3 generates an acting force to repel the core print 201 above the valve core 2, and overcomes the attraction force between the iron flexible sheet and the core print, the resultant force exerted on the valve core 2 is downward, the core print 201 drives the whole valve core 2 to move downward, meanwhile, the core print 201 below and the iron flexible sheet generate an attraction force to attract the valve core 2, so that the valve core 2 is static, the position of the valve core 2 is a downward-suction steady-state position, as shown in fig. 5, in the steady-state, the gas outlet 102 is opened, and the gas can smoothly pass through the valve body 1. Therefore, the micro valve can be switched between the bistable working states all the time, and a bistable structure is formed.
In the specific embodiment of the micro pneumatic system disclosed by the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the micro pneumatic system comprises a gas power source 6, a micro valve set 7, a control circuit 8 and a pneumatic driving unit 9, wherein the gas power source 6 is connected with a plurality of branches, and each branch is connected with two groups of micro valves and the pneumatic driving unit 9.
Specifically, the micro pneumatic system comprises a gas power source 6 and a plurality of branches connected in parallel; each branch comprises a near-end electromagnetic valve, an air pressure driving unit 9 and a far-end electromagnetic valve; the near-end electromagnetic valve and the far-end electromagnetic valve are both bistable miniature electromagnetic valves as described above; the pneumatic driving unit 9 comprises a gas input port and a gas output port; the air inlets 101 of the near-end electromagnetic valves are all connected with the gas power source 6; a gas input port of each pneumatic driving unit 9 is connected with a gas outlet 102 of a near-end electromagnetic valve, and a gas output port of each pneumatic driving unit 9 is connected with a gas inlet 101 of a far-end electromagnetic valve; the control circuit 8 is electrically connected with the near-end solenoid valve and the far-end solenoid valve on each branch, and is used for controlling the airflow state conversion of each solenoid valve. The pneumatic driving units are arranged according to a preset rule array to form a pneumatic driving array. The pneumatic driving unit 9 is an executing component of pneumatic transmission, and realizes the effect of tactile feedback through the force action fed back by the pneumatic transmission.
The control mode or the working principle of the micro pneumatic system provided by the invention is as follows:
when the valve core 2 of the first group of micro valves (near-end solenoid valve, the same below) sucks up (blocks gas), and simultaneously the valve core 2 of the second group of micro valves (far-end solenoid valve, the same below) sucks up (blocks gas), the gas is sealed in the pneumatic driving unit 9, and the system is in a pressure maintaining state.
When the first set of microvalve spools 2 are sucking down (inputting gas) while the second set of microvalve spools 2 are sucking up (blocking gas), gas is input into the pneumatic drive unit 9 and the system is in a charged state.
When the first group of micro valve spools 2 suck up (block gas) and the second group of micro valve spools 2 suck down (output gas), the gas is exhausted from the pneumatic driving unit 9, and the system is in a gas release state.
Therefore, through the combined operation of the two groups of bistable miniature electromagnetic valves disclosed by the invention, three working states of inflation, pressure maintaining and deflation can be conveniently realized.
By using the micro pneumatic system disclosed by the invention, the air pressure driving units 9 in the branches can be arrayed and arranged in a preset shape in the same plane or arc-shaped curved surface, as shown in fig. 7, an integral driving array is formed, and accurate touch feedback can be realized by controlling the action of each air pressure driving unit 9.
The micro pneumatic system disclosed by the invention can be further applied to the field of virtual/augmented reality. Augmented reality (virtual reality) refers to a technology for calculating the position and angle of a camera image in real time and adding corresponding images, videos and 3D models, and the aim of the technology is to sleeve a virtual world on a screen in the real world and interact with the virtual world. The tactile feedback device manufactured by the miniature electromagnetic valve and the miniature pneumatic system provided by the invention can be used for tactile feedback in virtual/augmented reality, so that a user can feel an object in a virtual environment in an immersive manner.
