Specific embodiment
Variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm proposed by the present invention, structure is as shown in Figure 1, include 1, two piece of variable rigidity branch of footstock Fagging 2, central branches fagging 3, elongated slot 4,5, two cross actuators 8 of pedestal and eight connecting rods 18 (19,20,21), such as Fig. 7 With shown in Fig. 8.The upper end of two pieces of variable rigidity support plates 2 is fixed on two of footstock 1, two pieces of variable rigidity support plates 2 Lower end be fixed on corresponding two of pedestal 5.Central branches fagging 3 is placed in the centre of two pieces of variable rigidity support plates 2, central branches The upper end of fagging and footstock are relatively fixed, and the elongated slot 4 is placed in the centre of pedestal, and elongated slot 4 is protruded into the lower end of central branches fagging 2 In, similar tube-in-tube structure plays a supporting role, connects the footstock 1 and pedestal 5 at both ends, as shown in Figure 2.On footstock 1 and pedestal 5 Servo motor mounting hole 7 is had, for installing servo motor (not indicating in servo motor figure), as shown in Figure 3.
The structure of cross actuator 8 is as shown in fig. 6, the center of cross actuator 8 is provided with servo motor transmission axis It is inserted into hole 9, the first connecting hole 10 (11,12,13) is had on four spiders of cross actuator, in Fig. 4 and Fig. 6 10,11,12 and 13 shown in.
The structure of the variable rigidity support plate 3 is as shown in figure 5, variable rigidity support plate is equipped with upper and lower four pairs admittedly Determine ear, if 22 and 23 in Fig. 5 are a pair of of fixed ear, the second connecting hole is provided in fixed ear, such as 14 (15,16 and in Fig. 9 17) shown in.
Four connecting rods in eight connecting rods are placed in one end of variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm, in addition four connections Bar is placed in the other end of variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm, and as shown in Figure 9,18,19,20,21 namely for making cross in Fig. 9 The connecting rod that actuator 8 and variable rigidity support plate 2 mutually link.The both ends of every connecting rod are supported by variable rigidity respectively The first connection on four spiders of the second connecting hole 14 (15,16 and 17) and cross actuator 8 in plate fixed ear Hole makes variable rigidity support plate 2 and cross actuator 8 mutually link, and the movement of cross actuator 8 is passed to rigidity can Become support plate 2, realizes control of the servo motor to the flexibility and rigidity of variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm.
Below in conjunction with attached drawing, it is situated between in detail to the working principle and the course of work of variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm of the invention It continues:
Variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm upper and lower ends are fixed by footstock and pedestal, are played the role of fixed and are connected, top Seat 1 can connect other articles such as extraneous counterweight, and pedestal 2 can be connected by pin with other mechanical arms, and embeddable Servo motor is to realize control task.Among footstock and pedestal, there are three pieces of variable rigidity support plates 2 being parallel to each other in Support plate 3 to be entreated, is uniformly distributed for three pieces with left, center, right, width is slightly smaller than the side length of footstock and pedestal, and two pieces of middle left and right It is with flexible structure made of ABS plastic, the middle part at the both ends of flexible structure is connected with footstock and pedestal with fixation.In being located at The central branches fagging 3 in portion is a tube-in-tube structure, is played a supporting role, and the footstock and pedestal at both ends are connected by pin.Two sides It is embedded with cross actuator 8 on the inside of footstock and pedestal, is driven by servo motor, angle rotatable is 90 °.Its four endpoints have 4 A coupling part, the two sides with variable rigidity support plate 2 are linked by pin respectively.It can be realized by the rotation of servo motor Flexible material is in the conversion between straight two states of arching upward, to realize the purpose of stiffness change.
Variable rigidity support plate 2 is a flexible flexible material, and the back side is smooth, and front is shape such as corrugation The alternate structure of the bumps of paper, is made, the broached-tooth design of the recess of the protrusion and strip of strip goes out in succession of ABS plastic It is existing, it is paved with entire plane, direction is consistent with the length of variable rigidity support plate 2, can be limited outer in order to material bending Power effect is lower to realize the bigger deformation of material, with the variable range of elevating mechanism arm rigidity.Four tops of variable rigidity support plate 2 Point nearby, there are four connecting component in long side, is drilled with aperture in connecting component, can by pin and connecting rod 18 (19,20, 21) it is connected, respectively there are three apertures for two middle side parts of variable rigidity support plate 2, can pass through bolt structure and footstock 1 and low seat 5 On three apertures mutually fix so that variable rigidity support plate 2 stress be bent when, medium position keep substantially not Become.
Cross actuator 8 can be connected by connecting rod 18 (19,20,21) with the fixed ear in variable rigidity support plate 2, Servo motor can be installed by servo motor hole location 7, to control the torsion of cross actuator 8.Cross actuator 8 is one Double-layer structure is connected by pin with connecting rod 18 (19,20,21) with facilitating, the servo motor hole transmission shaft insertion at middle part Hole 9 is relatively fixed by servo motor transmission axis and footstock 1 and low seat 5 for connecting with servo motor.
By the synchronous rotary of the cross actuator 8 at both ends, the both ends stress of variable rigidity support plate 2 can be made and curved Song makes its middle part arch upward.Its principle is that flexible plate bending moment will generate deformation, and deformation quantity and rigidity are negatively correlated, It is inversely proportional with the Young's modulus of material and with cross sectional moment of inertia.
Figure 10 show the rigidity of variation rigidity flexible mechanical arm of the present invention and the relational graph of bending degree.Assuming that variable rigidity The original width (i.e. distance between two-end-point) of support plate 2 is l, as shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7, during the work time, due to bending It arches upward, the distance between two-end-point reduces, and the distance after note reduces is 2x, as shown in Figure 8.Pass through the theory meter of the mechanics of materials It calculates, relationship such as Figure 10 institute between available the moment of inertia Iz (i.e. ordinate in Figure 10) and x (i.e. abscissa in Figure 10) Show.It can be seen that rigidity is promoted with distance diminution between both ends, and promotes speed and be getting faster.
