The motor 280 drives the square bar 243 to rotate, and the power is transmitted to the third joint wire tube 231 through the circular hole gear 252, so that the third joint wire tube 231 rotates, and the thumb is driven to swing left and right through the thumb rotating connecting piece 118.
For the four-finger motion assembly, under the action of the axial motion of the first joint wire tube 211 and the third joint wire tube 231, the first joint support 111, the second joint support 120 and the third joint support 115 are driven to perform relative rotation motion around the rotation shafts of the rotation connections, so as to drive the four fingers to perform bending and stretching motions. Specifically, a rotational connection corresponding to the distal interphalangeal joint is formed between the first joint support 111 and the second joint support 120, and a rotational connection corresponding to the proximal interphalangeal joint is formed between the second joint support 120 and the third joint support 115.
The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
