Abstract

The invention relates to a compliant joint taking an irregular plate spring with a variable cross section as a skeleton, and belongs to the technical field of rotor and mechanical arm application. The joint adopts the irregular plate spring with the variable cross section as the skeleton, is bent after being driven by fluid and can be used as various types of joints of a robot. When an elastic corrugated pipe is aerated, the elastic corrugated pipe extends and bends towards one side of the plate spring by being restrained by the plate spring; when gas in the elastic corrugated pipe is released, the joint is returned to the extending state under the action of the plate spring. Pressure in the elastic corrugated pipe is controlled to cause the joint to be bent at a certain angle. The elastic corrugated pipe has good flexibility, and the plate spring has good elasticity, therefore, the joint has good flexibility. Because the cross section and the shape of the plate spring are improved, the bending space can be enlarged, the strength requirement is complied, the flexibility is enlarged, and the plate spring material is saved. The joint has the advantages of being flexible in bending action, small in energy consumption, good in flexible self-adapting action and convenient to control.

Description

The submissive joint of flat spring skeleton of variable cross-section and abnormity
Technical field:
The present invention relates to the submissive joint of flat spring skeleton of a kind of variable cross-section and abnormity, this bending joint has good compliance and controllability, can be used as all kinds of joints of robot, be particularly useful for the flexible mechanical finger be made up of multiple bending joint, as the executing agency of automation equipment, belong to robot, manipulator applied technical field.
Background technology:
Before making the present invention, robot bending joint many employings motor drives, and the good control accuracy of motor static rigidity is high, but needs complicated deceleration device, and volume ratio is comparatively large and flexible bad; Also the employing pneumatic cylinder had or Driven by Hydraulic Cylinder, need complicated fluid circuit and position control accuracy is not high.Current joint of robot many employings rigid backbone, to position and power precision prescribed high, compliance and adaptivity bad, when being especially used as mechanical finger, large to crawl object physical trauma.
Patent CN200410065130.X proposes a kind of flat spring skeleton flexible joint of artificial-muscle as driving force of axial expansion, this joint overcomes flat spring resistance by expansion muscle elongation and realizes bending, there is certain compliance and adaptivity, well capture effect as obtaining during mechanical finger.Weak point: (1) joint action space is little, its angle of bend is by considerable restraint.If the distance of flat spring and artificial-muscle is little, after bending certain angle, artificial-muscle contacts with flat spring to produce and interferes, and affects it and is out of shape further; If the two distance is large, joint size is comparatively large, and the axial elongation amount of bending same angle artificial-muscle increases, to mechanics parameter and the material performance requirement harshness of artificial-muscle.(2) the stressed of flat spring is uneven, uses general uiform section flat spring not only can increase deformation drag, waste energy, and also can increase joint weight, waste material.(3) compliance is not good enough.The advantageous of compliance in minimizing installation time, simplify manufacture process, improve precision, increase reliability, reduce and safeguard, alleviate quality etc. in, these patent parts are more, lack necessary location measure, bellows clamp connection, reliability is not high and change trouble, is unfavorable for safeguarding.(4) dynamic response is to be improved.When general uiform section flat spring is bending by straightened condition, resistance is comparatively large, needs larger pressure to start action, and joint total quality is large, and inertia is large, and therefore dynamic response has much room for improvement.
Summary of the invention:
The present invention is directed to above-mentioned deficiency, the flat spring that have employed variable cross-section and abnormity is flexible back bone.Length and the thickness of the flat spring of variable cross-section are constant, and width, according to flat spring stressing conditions, with certain rule change, meets the distribution of force of flat spring, the basis meeting intensity is saved material and reduces quality, improve dynamic response.The structure that the wide centre, flat spring two ends of variable cross-section is thin is more easily out of shape, and resistance of deformation is little, and action is more flexible.The flat spring of abnormity effectively can avoid the contact interference problem of elastic bellows and flat spring after the large deformation of joint, substantially increases the action space in submissive joint.Meanwhile, between joint component, have employed necessary location measure, avoid being assembled with precision not high cause joint torsional deflection, the analytical calculation that facilitates static stress and distortion.Elastic bellows uses pipe joint form, is convenient to install and change.This joint not only can be used alone, and can also be assembled into multi-joint manipulator, mechanical arm etc., has good harmony.

Detailed description of the invention:
The scheme one of the present invention below by reference to the accompanying drawings in 14 is implemented to be further described:
In scheme one, the two ends of elastic bellows 10 are fixed on pipe joint 8 by compressing tablet 9, and bellows two ends pipe joint 8 is connected with tailstock 11 with headstock 5 respectively, is locked by locking nut 7, and centre has gasket seal 6 to seal, and form gas cavity.Tailstock 11 has air inlet, and air inlet pipe joint 13 is fixed on tailstock 11 through sealing ring 12.Headstock 5 and tailstock 11 are fixed with cephalomere 1 and periproct 14 respectively through regulating cushion block 4.Regulate cushion block 4 upper and lower surface to have alignment pin, ensure headstock 5 and cephalomere 1 and the mutual location between tailstock 11 and periproct 14.The two ends of trapezoidal side flat spring 15a are embedded in the notch of cephalomere 1 and periproct 14 respectively, and fix with bolt 3 and rectangle pad 2.Source of the gas is connected with air inlet pipe joint 13, and gas enters cavity through air inlet pipe joint.
During work, by controlling the angle of bend in elastic bellows internal cavity Stress control joint.During to empty interacvity air-filling, cavity pressure increases, elastic bellows axial elongation, because bellows side can not be extended by flat spring constraint, overcomes flat spring resistance and makes arthrogryposis; When cavity pressure reduces, joint is stretched under the restoring force of flat spring.This joint has good compliance, adaptivity and controllability, can be built into mechanical finger and be combined into single-degree-of-freedom or Multi-freedom-degreemanipulator manipulator.Refer to manipulator for simple joint three, periproct is connected with mechanical palm, and cephalomere is connected with manipulator finger tip, and finger tip can become optimal curve according to the different designs capturing object, select best crawl position.In order to reducing effect damage, the buffer mediums such as rubber blanket can be wrapped up on mechanical finger tip.When capturing object, to empty interacvity air-filling, three fingers bending crawl object simultaneously, keeps pressure constant after obtaining certain grasp force, maintains seized condition; When release captures thing, open air bleeding valve, cavity pressure reduces, and points and unclamp object under flat spring restoring force.
