The flexible underactuated manipulator driven by the cooperative finger root joint and the finger tip joint of the embodiment overcomes the defect that the manipulator in the prior art cannot grasp a complex object, and the installation principle is as follows:
the two screw shaft servo motors 1 convert the rotary motion into linear motion through the screw nut seat 5 to drive the three flexible fingers 12 to work, wherein one screw shaft servo motor 1 directly drives the finger root sections 10a of the three flexible fingers 12 to rotate so as to adapt to the size change of an object, and the other screw shaft servo motor 1 directly drives the finger tip sections 4a of the three flexible fingers 12 to rotate so as to reliably hold the object. The device is suitable for vertically grabbing cylindrical, square, spherical and ellipsoidal objects or horizontally grabbing cylindrical and square objects by changing the installation positions of the three flexible fingers 12. Through the angular displacement control of the motor with the angular displacement feedback encoder, the grabbing posture is adjustable, and the action point of the contact force is adjustable, so that the grabbing range is wider when a complex object is grabbed; the flexible structure generates a flexible self-adaptive grabbing effect by the small-rigidity torsion spring 6a on the hinge between the finger tip joint 4a and the middle finger joint 8a, the large-rigidity torsion spring 9a on the hinge between the middle finger joint 8a and the finger root joint 10a and the screw shaft servo motor 1 which directly drives the finger tip joint 4 a.

the three flexible fingers 12 can be installed in a circular and uniform distribution manner, or can be installed symmetrically between one flexible finger 12 and two flexible fingers 12 on another parallel plane; a right-handed threaded rod 1a on a flexible finger 12 is fixed on the hollow fingertip drive plate 4 by a nut, one end of a bent rod 12a on the flexible finger 12 is hinged with a bent rod hinge seat 6, and the bent rod hinge seat 6 can move in a positioning way in a T-shaped groove on the finger base drive plate 7 and is fixed by a screw; as shown in fig. 7, the outer part and the inner part respectively refer to a root node 10a, a thin gasket 13a, a root hinge seat 9 and a special-shaped plate 11a, and the four parts form hinge connection by cylindrical pins.
As shown in fig. 5-8, in the flexible finger 12, three parts of a right-handed threaded rod 1a, a left-handed threaded sleeve 2a and a left-handed threaded rod 3a are in threaded connection, and because the three parts are respectively a left-handed thread and a right-handed thread, the length can be adjusted by rotating the left-handed threaded sleeve 2a and locking the left-handed threaded sleeve with a nut; as shown in fig. 6, the lower end of the left-handed threaded rod 3a is flattened to form a hinge connection with the fingertip joint 4a and two first thick washers 14 a; the fingertip joint 4a and the middle knuckle 8a are hinged by a torsion spring mandrel 5a, the torsion spring mandrel 5a is sleeved with a small-stiffness torsion spring 6a, and the small-stiffness torsion spring 6a is pre-tightened by two torsion spring stop pins 7 a; similarly, the middle knuckle 8a and the knuckle 10a are hinged by a torsion spring mandrel 5a, the torsion spring mandrel 5a is sleeved with a high-rigidity torsion spring 9a, and the high-rigidity torsion spring 9a is pre-tightened by two torsion spring stop pins 7 a; as shown in fig. 8, the four parts are respectively a root node 10a, a thin gasket 13a, a root hinge seat 9 and a special-shaped plate 11a from outside to inside, and the four parts are hinged by a cylindrical pin; a second thick gasket 15a is arranged between the finger root section 10a and the special-shaped plate 11a, and the three parts are fixed by pins, so that the finger root section 10a and the special-shaped plate 11a form an integral structure; the shaped plate 11a is hinged to a bent rod 12a, and the bent rod 12a pushes the shaped plate 11a to rotate the knuckle 10 a.

In this embodiment, a screw shaft servo motor 1 drives the hollow fingertip drive plate 4 to move linearly up and down, so that the fingertip joint 4a rotates to perform a grabbing function.
In this embodiment, the other screw shaft servo motor 1 drives the finger base driving plate 7 to move linearly up and down, so as to drive the curved rod 12a and adjust the included angle between the finger base joint 10a and the base plate 10.
In this embodiment, the hinge seat 6 can be positioned and moved in a T-shaped slot on the finger base driving plate 7 and fixed by a screw, and the position of the hinge seat 6 on the finger base driving plate 7 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the initial state of the flexible finger 12.
In this embodiment, the three parts of the right-handed threaded rod 1a, the left-handed threaded sleeve 2a, and the left-handed threaded rod 3a are connected by threads, and since the threads are left-handed and right-handed threads, the length can be adjusted by rotating the left-handed and right-handed threaded sleeves 2a and locking the same with nuts, thereby adjusting the initial state of the flexible finger 12.
In this embodiment, the three flexible fingers 12 may be installed in a circular and uniform manner, and may be used to vertically grab a cylinder or a sphere; one flexible finger 12 and two flexible fingers 12 on the other parallel plane are symmetrically arranged in the middle and used for vertically grabbing a cuboid or a cylinder with a horizontal axis.
The working principle and the using flow of the embodiment are as follows: after optimized calculation is carried out on a specific grasped object, the rigidity of the small-rigidity torsion spring 6a and the rigidity of the large-rigidity torsion spring 9a are designed, the grasping posture and the contact point position corresponding to the required grasping force can be calculated, and the grasping posture and the contact point position are accurately and cooperatively controlled by the rotation angles of the two screw shaft servo motors 1.
The method comprises the following steps: 1. when complex objects of the same kind (such as apples) and inconsistent shapes and sizes are grabbed, the complex objects of the kind can be grabbed reliably without damage and freedom adaptability by selecting proper torsion spring parameters and finger structure sizes; 2. when complex objects with the same shape (such as spherical objects like apples, oranges and the like or quadrate objects like big and small square boxes and the like) and large shape and size changes are grabbed, the complex objects with the same shape can be grabbed reliably without damaging and not only can the adaptability of the freedom degree be realized by selecting proper torsion spring parameters and the structure size of the fingers; 3. when complex objects with different shapes (such as spherical objects like apples, oranges and tangerines and quadrate objects like small square boxes) and different shapes and sizes are grabbed, the flexibility adaptability can be realized, and the complex objects with different shapes can be reliably grabbed without damage by changing the installation positions of the two flexible fingers 12.
Based on the structure of the flexible finger 12, the manipulator state is: 1. no-load movement of the fingers without contact; 2. the contact force is in a zero state after the contact; 3. the contact object does not move, but the contact force is increased, and the action point position and the contact force direction of the contact force are changed; 4. the contact force is maximum when the object does not move after being contacted; 5. the object and the manipulator simultaneously move in a grabbing manner by acceleration displacement, and the action point position, the size and the direction of the contact force are changed; 6. the object and the manipulator move at a constant speed simultaneously, and the action point position, the size and the direction of the contact force are changed; 7. the object and the manipulator simultaneously perform the holding movement of deceleration displacement, and the action point position, the size and the direction of the contact force are changed; 8. the object and the manipulator are in a static hovering state.
The above description is intended to be illustrative and not restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims, which may be modified in any manner within the scope of the invention.
