Specific implementation mode
In order to make the foregoing objectives, features and advantages of the present invention clearer and more comprehensible, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to the present invention Specific implementation mode be described in detail.Many details are elaborated in the following description in order to fully understand this hair It is bright.But the invention can be embodied in many other ways as described herein, those skilled in the art can be not Similar improvement is done in the case of violating intension of the present invention, therefore the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
Fig. 1 illustrates the structural schematic diagram of stiffness variable actuator according to an embodiment of the invention.This is variable rigid Degree actuator is applicable to the end effector executing agency of soft robot, including origami structure 1, top end plate 2, bottom end plate 3, elastic film 4, actuating gas chamber 5 and Pneumatic pipe 6.
Origami structure 1 includes the paper folding layer of multiple stackings, and the paper folding layer of these stackings is folded by tablet.Tablet It may be constituted by synthesizing paper material, and may include the multi-ply paper stacked.Fig. 2 illustrates the sheet for being folded into origami structure The pattern of folds of object can fold out origami structure 1 shown in Fig. 3 and 4A-4B according to pattern of folds shown in Fig. 2.Tablet The side wall that origami structure is constituted around the central shaft of origami structure 1, the paper folding layer for folding multiple stackings of formation are suitable for respect to that This squeezes and stretches, so that origami structure 1 is unidirectional scalable.Fig. 4 A illustrate the origami structure 1 in extended configuration, Fig. 4 B exhibitions The origami structure 1 in compressive state is shown.When in extended configuration, the side wall of origami structure has good flexibility, So that actuator is very soft, and when in its compressed state, the multilayer paper folding layer to press together increases origami structure The rigidity of side wall so that actuator is hardened.Therefore, origami structure of the invention uses the stacking pile-up mechanism of paper folding, passes through folding It is adjustable to realize rigidity for the extruding and stretching of paper layer.It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that in addition to folding shown in Fig. 2 Folded pattern, can also use any other suitable pattern of folds.
With continued reference to Fig. 1, top ends 2 are fixedly connected on the top of origami structure 1, it is solid in the bottom end of origami structure 1 Surely it is connected with bottom end 3, the side wall of top ends 2, bottom end 3 and origami structure 1 defines paper folding cavity.In paper folding chamber It is provided with actuating gas chamber 5 in road, activates gas chamber 5 and origami structure 1 is coaxially arranged, both ends are respectively fixedly connected with to top end plate 2 and bottom end plate 3.One end of Pneumatic pipe 6 passes through the through-hole being opened in bottom end plate 3 to be connected to actuating gas chamber 5, with actuating Gas chamber 5 is in fluid communication.The other end of Pneumatic pipe 6 is connected to gas source, such as pneumatic diaphragm pump (not shown).
It activates gas chamber 5 and is suitable for the operationally Gradual change between volume expansion state and volume contraction state.Such as Fig. 5 A Shown in 5B, respectively shows and be connected to the actuating gas chamber of Pneumatic pipe and be in volume expansion state and volume contraction state. When pneumatic diaphragm pump is discharged into gas by Pneumatic pipe 6 to actuating gas chamber 5, actuating chamber volume 5 expands, and works as pneumatic diaphragm When pump takes gas away by Pneumatic pipe 6 from actuating gas chamber 5, actuating chamber volume 5 is shunk.Activate expansion and the shrinkage band of gas chamber Dynamic origami structure accordingly stretches or compresses.
In other embodiments, actuating gas chamber may be omitted, Pneumatic pipe is directly flowed with the paper folding cavity in origami structure Body is connected to.In this case, when pneumatic diaphragm pump is discharged into gas by Pneumatic pipe to paper folding cavity, paper folding cavity is in Barotropic state, so that origami structure is extended, it is intended to or be maintained at predetermined shape, and when pneumatic diaphragm pump pass through it is pneumatic When pipeline takes the gas in paper folding cavity away, paper folding cavity is in negative pressure state, so that origami structure is compressed.Thus may be used See, even if not activating gas chamber, can also realize that the rigidity of origami structure is adjustable by being discharged into or taking away the pneumatic mode of gas Section.
With continued reference to Fig. 1, it is also enclosed with elastic film in the outer surface of top end plate 2, bottom end plate 3 and origami structure 1, It is gas-tight seal to be formed around actuator.Elastic film may be that elastic soft silica gel material is constituted.Elastic film 4 it is rigid Degree is less than the rigidity of origami structure 1, and therefore, the change in shape of elastic film 4 depends on the change in shape of origami structure 1.
In the present embodiment, the unidirectional telescopic stacking pile-up formula origami structure of the use of stiffness variable actuator, passes through The expansion or shrinkage for controlling the actuating gas chamber inside origami structure drives stretching, extension, the compression of origami structure, can referring to Fig. 1 and 6 To realize the shape and stiffness tuning of actuator.In this embodiment, pneumatic diaphragm pump can provide the gas of setting volume so that The pressure controllable in gas chamber 5 is activated, the shape and rigidity to realize actuator are controllable, and prevent from rupturing.
In other embodiments, stiffness variable actuator is also possible that the multiple above-mentioned actuatings being arranged in origami structure Gas chamber, and multiple Pneumatic pipes corresponding with these actuating gas chambers, these actuating gas chambers are suitable for operationally being in Different volumes swelling state or volume contraction state, so that origami structure is flexible.
The invention also provides a kind of soft robots including at least one above-mentioned stiffness variable actuator.Should have should The soft robot of stiffness variable actuator can be adjusted by adaptive self-contained online stiffness variable and be realized to non-structural Change the crawl of irregular target crawl object.It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that can also collect in the soft robot At various sensors, actuator, controller etc., to realize the automation control to the soft robot, and and environmental interaction Self adaptive control.
Several embodiments of the invention above described embodiment only expresses, the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but simultaneously Cannot the limitation to the scope of the claims of the present invention therefore be interpreted as.It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art For, without departing from the inventive concept of the premise, various modifications and improvements can be made, these belong to the guarantor of the present invention Protect range.Therefore, the protection domain of patent of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
