Description

Flexible intelligent adsorption device with self-sensing function and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of device design, and particularly relates to a flexible intelligent adsorption device with a self-sensing function and a preparation method thereof, which are mainly applied to various robot tail end execution devices.
Background
In recent years, with rapid development in the fields of computers, communication, intelligent manufacturing, and the like, special robots used in various industries are increasingly used. The robot solves a plurality of problems for human beings, can replace manual work to finish work with high repeatability, high risk and bad environment, and is the object of important research in the industries of industrial production, emergency rescue, special operation, catering service and the like. For robots, the end stick attachment is an important mechanism for the robot to work.
In the field of logistics transportation, a robot needs an end effector to operate various objects, at present, a grabbing mode mainly comprises a claw type manipulator, an add-on type manipulator and a sucker type manipulator, most of traditional grabbing modes are rigid grabbing and cannot judge grabbing force and grabbing state, whether the manipulator grabs the objects successfully or not is often confirmed by using an additional sensor or a force sensor, or whether the manipulator grabs the objects successfully or not is confirmed at all, and at present, an advanced tiny product grabbing device disclosed by a patent CN111977368A senses the contact force between a sucker and an object to be grabbed in real time through a piezoelectric sensor, and the additional sensor mode is structurally complicated and redundant, so that grabbing effect is seriously affected.
In the field of wall climbing robots for infrastructure maintenance, traditional robots are used for wall surface adhesion by means of electromagnetic adsorption, vacuum adsorption, claw thorn grabbing and the like, however, the traditional adhesion modes generally have no self-sensing function and cannot sense the adhered wall surface environment, and the traditional adhesion modes are a great hidden danger in the working process of the wall climbing robots. Firstly, under the condition that the wall environment is not perceived, the robot is easy to fall due to 'losing' due to adsorption movement, for example, the adsorption is invalid due to the fact that a foot end sucker of the vacuum adsorption robot touches a wall crack; secondly, the robot cannot conduct path planning in time according to the wall environment, for example, the sucker device of the wall climbing robot for complex wall disclosed in patent CN105460100A detects whether the sucker touches the wall or not through an additional sensor, and judges the relative position of the sucker and the suction wall. However, the sensing mode of the additional sensor has the defects of insufficient sensing site limitation and unstable sensing caused by easy damage of the sensor. Recently, as described in Aoyagi, seiji et al, university of Japanese, katsuji, bellows Suction Cup Equipped With Force Sensing Ability by Direct Coating Thin-Film Resistor for Vacuum Type Robotic Hand, the sensing function is achieved by coating a conductive film on a commercial chuck, but the overcoating of the conductive film has problems of fragile sensing structure, low reproducibility, delayed response, limited sensitivity, limited accuracy of a single strain sensing mechanism, and the like.
Therefore, in the field of logistics transportation or other fields such as wall climbing robots, there is an urgent need for an adsorption device capable of performing adaptive self-sensing for the robot terminal, which will enable the robot to work stably and accurately when logistics are sorted, and to be adsorbed on the wall surface stably and effectively when infrastructure is maintained.
