The upper linkage section 100 that lower linkage section 200 is suitable to the flexible joint structure 1 adjacent with the flexible arm is connected
(above-below direction is as shown in the arrow A in Fig. 1-Fig. 4).Connection ring 300 is set in the company of linkage section 100 and lower linkage section 200
The rope of the place of connecing and the flexible arm is adapted to pass through connection ring 300.Upper linkage section 100 and lower linkage section 200 respectively with deformation section
400 two ends are connected, and deformation section 400 includes the i-shaped beamses 410 of multiple interconnections, and multiple i-shaped beamses 410 are in deformation section
Be sequentially connected multipair is arranged in 400 axial direction, each pair is included in two be oppositely arranged in the circumference of deformation section 400 mutually
The i-shaped beamses 410 of connection.
Specifically, as shown in figure 3, first i-shaped beamses 1-410 and second i-shaped beamses 2-410 is along deformation section
400 circumference is oppositely arranged in pairs, the 3rd weeks of i-shaped beamses 3-410 and the 4th i-shaped beamses 4-410 along deformation section 400
To being oppositely arranged in pairs, first i-shaped beamses 1-410, second i-shaped beamses 2-410, the 3rd i-shaped beamses 3-410 and
It is arranged in order above and below 4th axial directions of the i-shaped beamses 4-410 along deformation section 400, other i-shaped beamses 410 are according to such a rule
Set.
The flexible joint structure 1 of flexible arm according to embodiments of the present invention, by setting upper linkage section 100, lower linkage section
200th, connection ring 300 and deformation section 400, break through flexible arm in correlation technique and use rigid articulation and conventional flexible material arm
Miniaturization, the limitation of extremely low load, in the increase size of flexible joint structure 1, the rigidity of increase flexible joint structure 1 and lifting are flexible
While articulation structure 1 is loaded, the flexible bending performance of flexible joint structure 1 is improved, further expands the performance of the flexible arm
With use scope.
Also, by setting multiple i-shaped beamses 410, substantially increase the flexibility function of flexible joint structure 1.Deformation section
The structure of i-shaped beamses 410 of multipair " work " font is used in 400, flexible joint structure 1 is may be such that under rope driving, deformation is more
Close to arc-shaped, curvature more preferably, overcomes the shortcoming of the curvature difference of rigid cross universal axis joint in correlation technique.
Therefore, the flexible joint structure 1 of flexible arm according to embodiments of the present invention has light weight, good bending property and born
The advantages of loading capability is strong.
Below with reference to the accompanying drawings flexible joint structure 1 according to the flexible arm of the specific embodiment of the invention is described.
In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1-Figure 4, flexible arm according to embodiments of the present invention it is soft
Property articulation structure 1 include upper linkage section 100, lower linkage section 200, connection ring 300 and deformation section 400.
Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2 i-shaped beamses 410 include entablature 411, sill 412 and longeron 413, entablature
411 and sill 412 along deformation section 400 circumferentially extending and in the axial direction of deformation section 400 be arranged at intervals.The edge of longeron 413
Deformation section 400 axially extending and it is connected respectively with entablature 411 and sill 413.So be easy to i-shaped beamses 410 into
Shape.
More specifically, as shown in figure 1, the entablature 411 of each i-shaped beamses 410 and with its deformation section 400 axle
The sill 412 of adjacent i-shaped beamses 410 is connected upwards.So it is easy to the formation of deformation section 400, makes the structure of flexible joint
1 is more reasonable.
Alternatively, as shown in figure 1, two longerons 413 adjacent in the axial direction of deformation section 400 deformation section 400 week
Stagger 90 degree upwards.It deformation section 400 is bent to two frees degree for being mutually 90, improve deformation section 400
Deformability.
The flexible joint structure 1 of the flexible arm of the present invention cleverly hands over flexible joint structure 1 into multipair into 90 degree
Mistake cuts into the structure of i-shaped beamses 410 of " work " font, it is suppressed that other deformations of flexible joint structure 1, so that flexible
Articulation structure 1 has two frees degree, and pitching and the free degree bending for both direction of going off course can be achieved, flexibility is substantially increased
The flexibility function of articulation structure 1.
Further, as shown in Fig. 2 the upper surface of each entablature 411 is provided with boss 4111.I-shaped can so be limited
The maximum distortion amplitude of type beam 410, it is to avoid its deform it is excessive cause structure to be damaged, improve i-shaped beamses 410 intensity and
Rigidity.
The flexible joint structure 1 of the flexible arm of the present invention, it is innovative to be designed with boss on the end face of i-shaped beamses 410
4111, expanding " work " the font spacing, the length of extension flexible joint structure 1, reduction flexible joint structure 1 of i-shaped beamses 410
While quality, boss 4111 can suppress the maximum deformation quantity of flexible joint structure 1, it is to avoid beyond the change of material yield strength
Shape so that flexible joint structure 1 pushes up to deform to after boss 4111 in deformation process to be stopped, and plays protection flexible joint structure 1
Effect.
Specifically, the flexible joint structure 1 of flexible arm has the design of hollow structure, on the one hand expands flexible joint
The intended diameter of structure 1, the rigidity for increasing flexible joint structure 1, have broken flexible material and only can be used under very small diameter
Flexible arm limitation, expand and use scope.On the other hand, the quality of flexible joint structure 1 can be mitigated, while being also convenient for electricity
The cabling of road and pipe gas in flexible joint structure 1.
Fig. 1-Fig. 4 shows the flexible joint structure 1 of the flexible arm according to the present invention.Upper linkage section 100 is interference fitted in
In the lower linkage section 200 of adjacent flexible joint structure 1.So it is easy to improve linkage section 100 and adjacent lower linkage section 200
Connection reliability.
Specifically, upper linkage section 100 is designed to the multidiameter structure being engaged with variant part 400, and lower linkage section 200 is set
The structure for the interior countersunk head being engaged with deformation section 400 is counted into, is so easy to upper linkage section 100, lower linkage section 200 respectively and deforms
The connection of section 400.
Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2 upper linkage section 100 and lower linkage section 200 are equipped with the radial direction along flexible joint structure 1
The pin shaft hole 110 of insertion flexible joint structure 1, connection ring 300 is provided with screwed hole 320, upper linkage section 100, lower linkage section 200
With connection ring 300 by coordinating the threaded pin in pin shaft hole 110 and screwed hole 320 to be connected with each other.Specifically, sell
Axis hole 110 and screwed hole 320 are 4 and set at equal intervals in the circumferential.So it is easy to upper linkage section 100, lower linkage section
200 and the connection of connection ring 300 positioned, be easy to improve connection Stability and veracity.
More specifically, as shown in figure 3, pin shaft hole 110 and longeron 413 stagger 45 in the circumference of flexible joint structure 1
Degree.Pin shaft hole 110 and the hypotelorism of longeron 413 can so be avoided and the structural strength of deformation section 400 is influenceed.
Alternatively, as shown in figure 1, connection ring 300 is provided with the multiple cable-through holes passed through suitable for the rope of the flexible arm
310, multiple cable-through holes 310 are along connection ring 300 axially through connection ring 300 and being provided at circumferentially spaced along connection ring 300.This
Sample is easy to the setting of the rope of the flexible arm.
Specifically, deformation section 400 is formed by the cutting of flexible tubular material pieces hollow out.So it is easy to improve deformation section 400
Crooked deformability, is easy to manufacture, is easy to improve the globality of deformation section 400.
