Base station component 1 is integrated with mounting structure and the center for overall control as the installing component of tentacle robot
Controller 6.Central controller 6 is responsible for overall command activity equivalent to the brain of whole tentacle robot.What the present invention was used
It is Magnetic Control principle, the joint assembly 2 for often saving mutual ball pivot connection can be indulged by positioned at the second horizontal lower convex portion 16 and second
Activity control is carried out to the electromagnetism winding on groove 17, the electromagnetism winding positioned at the joint assembly 2 of the section of top one is to be right against position
The permanent magnet 9 of the joint winding saved in bottom one, can be produced with permanent magnet 9 when electromagnetism winding is powered produces magnetic field and adsorbed
Active force, so that joint assembly 2 produces the swing of slight angle relatively, articulated chain passes through the swing of each joint assembly 2 then
Overall action can be caused.And why by electromagnetism around being mounted in different planes, be to reduce same section joint group
Produced between the electromagnetism winding of part 2 and influenced each other, reduce interference effect.Similarly, the Position Design of permanent magnet 9 is also such.
The generation of action is controlled by central controller 6, and the present invention uses a control system, each pass
Saving the control chip 11 of component 2 is used for the break-make of the corresponding electromagnetism winding of Partial controll, and the action of each control chip 11 is then
There is central controller 6 to command.All control chips 11 are connected with central controller 6, correspond to each control chip 11 just
Different ID are marked as, the instruction of coordination is sent to each control chip 11 by central controller 6.Each joint assembly
2 action is all separate and mutually coordinated.From for the driving force size of each joint assembly 2, the magnetic of permanent magnet 9
Induction is higher, and the power of action is bigger, it is preferred to use with the strong magnetic permanent magnet 9 compared with high magnetic flux density.Joint housing 10
Material then need hardness higher, intensity, while to avoid overall weight overweight, should as far as possible select lighter material,
The materials such as aluminium alloy, carbon fibre are all preferably to select.
Preferably, the transverse concave groove 15 of the second longitudinal direction upper convex portion 14 and second is provided with flexible pad.Due to mutually stinging
The two section joint assemblies 2 for closing are possible to contact with each other during activity, in order to avoid the rigidity between joint housing 10 connects
Touch, it is preferably scheme to be subject to buffering using flexible pad.Such design is it is possible to prevente effectively from the abrasion of joint housing 10 and old
Change, increase the service life.
As further preferably, above-mentioned tentacle robot also includes flexible jacket;Flexible jacket sealing shroud is located at whole
Outside articulated chain and base station component 1.The gap for activity must be left between each joint assembly 2 of tentacle robot, this
Undoubtedly generate the problem easily hidden dirt and easily entered by steam.Flexible jacket has whole tentacle robot sealed envelope
Effect avoids the steam or dust of outside from entering, while flexible jacket itself will not hinder the motion of tentacle robot.
Preferably, above-mentioned tentacle robot also includes functional module group;Functional module group is installed on a section of joint chain end
On joint assembly 2, and it is connected with central controller 6.Functional module group can be industrial some grippers for using, processing knife
Tool, plumb joint etc., being equipped with different functional module groups can just make the different ability of tentacle robot, on different fields
Using.
A kind of tentacle robot provided by the present invention, using bionic design, with high-freedom degree, substantially can be complete
Into the active actions similar to tentacle.The cooperation activity of multiple joint assemblies 2, saves overall space, can be in narrow space freedom
Activity, such as in small-sized passage free shuttling also can activity freely.The structure of each joint assembly 2 be it is the same,
Volume production can carry out free assembling, and the length of articulated chain is substantially unrestricted.And functional module group can be carried, possess a variety of work(
Can, can apply in various different fields, have a extensive future.
