As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, a shape memory driving soft body driver 100 of the present embodiment includes a soft body module 1 for stretching or contracting along an axial direction and for improving a load capacity of the shape memory driving soft body driver 100, a shape memory alloy spring 2 disposed in the soft body module 1 along the axial direction, and a heating adjustment module for heating the shape memory alloy spring 2, wherein a plurality of shape memory alloy springs 2 are equidistantly disposed in the soft body module 1 along a circumferential direction of the soft body module 1, the heating adjustment module heats and/or stops heating of the shape memory alloy springs 2 at different positions, the shape memory driving software driver 100 moves to different directions under the driving force generated when the temperature of the shape memory alloy spring 2 rises above the phase transition temperature and/or cools below the phase transition temperature and the elastic restoring force of the software module 1. The shape memory driving soft body driver 100 of the invention is provided with shape memory alloy springs 2 along the axial direction in a soft body module 1, and a plurality of shape memory alloy springs 2 are equidistantly distributed along the circumferential direction of the soft body module 1, the shape memory alloy spring 2 at different parts is heated and/or stopped to be heated by the heating adjusting module, the shape memory driving type software driver 100 moves towards different directions under the action of driving force generated when the temperature of the shape memory alloy spring 2 is increased to be higher than the phase change temperature and/or cooled to be lower than the phase change temperature and the action of elastic restoring force of the software module 1, the software module 1 is used for improving the load capacity of the shape memory driving type software driver 100, moving the target object to the target place by installing the target object at the movable end of the shape memory driving type software driver 100; the shape memory alloy spring 2 is light and handy in structure, and is arranged in the software module 1, the occupied space is small, and the omnibearing movement can be carried out in a narrow space. Preferably, the shape memory alloy springs 2 are all nickel titanium (Ni-Ti) memory alloy springs. The nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) memory alloy spring contracts to a high-temperature memory length when the temperature of the Ni-Ti memory alloy spring rises above a phase transition temperature, and is in a free and soft state when the Ni-Ti memory alloy spring is cooled below the phase transition temperature, and the Ni-Ti memory alloy spring in the contracted state is stretched by the elastic restoring force when the soft body module 1 is changed from a compressed state to an initial state; or when the software module 1 changes from the initial state to the stretching state, the Ni-Ti memory alloy spring is driven to stretch, and because the Ni-Ti memory alloy spring is in a free and soft state, the Ni-Ti memory alloy spring does not generate a contraction restoring force to limit the stretching of the software module. Optionally, the plurality of shape memory alloy springs 2 are one or a combination of high-temperature elongation type CuZnAl memory alloy springs, high-temperature shortening type CuZnAl memory alloy springs or Ni-Ti memory alloy springs. The high-temperature elongation type CuZnAl memory alloy spring is stretched to a high-temperature memory length when the temperature is increased to be higher than the phase transition temperature, and is contracted to a low-temperature memory length when the temperature is cooled to be lower than the phase transition temperature. The high-temperature shortened CuZnAl memory alloy spring is contracted to a high-temperature memory length when the temperature is increased to be higher than the phase transition temperature, and is stretched to a low-temperature memory length when the temperature is cooled to be lower than the phase transition temperature.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the shape memory alloy spring 2 is embedded in the wall of the software module 1; the heating adjusting module is respectively electrically connected with different shape memory alloys so as to respectively electrically heat the different shape memory alloys; a central channel 3 for passing through the electric connecting wire of the heating adjusting module and the shape memory alloy spring 2 is arranged in the soft body module. The soft module 1 is formed by casting silica gel with the Shore hardness of less than 30 degrees, and the shape memory alloy spring 2 is embedded in the wall body of the soft module 1 and is tightly connected with the silica gel into a whole, so when the restoring force generated when the temperature of the shape memory alloy spring 2 is raised above the phase change temperature and/or cooled below the phase change temperature drives the wall body of the soft module 1 to contract or stretch, the stress of the soft module 1 is more uniform, the motion mode is easy to control, and the motion posture is more accurate. Optionally, the inner wall surface and/or the outer wall surface of the soft body module 1 is/are provided with mounting grooves for mounting the shape memory alloy springs 2 along the axial direction. Optionally, an inner cavity for placing the shape memory alloy is arranged in the software module 1. The shape memory alloy spring 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the soft body module 1, and two ends of the shape memory alloy spring are respectively fixed on the inner top surface and the inner bottom surface of the soft body module 1.
As shown in figure 1, blind holes 4 are arranged on the wall of the soft body module 1 along the radial direction, and a plurality of blind holes 4 are respectively arranged on the wall of the soft body module 1 along the axial direction and the circumferential direction at equal intervals to increase the expansion and contraction deformability of the soft body module 1, thereby expanding the movement range of the shape memory drive type soft body driver 100. The cross section of the blind hole 4 is fan-shaped, and the side wall surface of the blind hole 4 is wave-shaped, zigzag, arc-shaped or linear along the axial direction of the software module 1. In this embodiment, the blind hole 4 is disposed on the outer wall surface of the software module 1. Optionally, the blind hole 4 is provided on the inner wall surface of the soft body module 1. In order to improve the load capacity of the shape memory driving type soft driver 100, the soft module 1 molded by silica gel casting must have certain hardness, so the flexible deformation capacity is limited, and the flexible deformation capacity of the soft module 1 is increased by arranging a plurality of blind holes 4 on the wall body of the soft module 1. Optionally, a small cavity is arranged in the wall body of the software module 1, and the plurality of small cavities are axially arranged in the wall body of the software module 1.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, two ends of the soft body module 1 are provided with mounting panels 5 for positioning the shape memory alloy spring 2 and the soft body module, and the mounting panels 5 are made of rigid materials. The mounting panel 5 is used for limiting the radial deformation of the software module 1, and avoiding the interference of the radial deformation of the software module 1 on the movement direction of the shape memory driving software driver 100 when the axial restoring force of the shape memory alloy spring 2 drives the software module 1 to axially contract or stretch, which results in inaccurate movement of the shape memory driving software driver 100.
As shown in figures 1 and 2, the axial dimension of the soft body module 1 is 0.5-1.5 times of the radial dimension. When the axial size of the software module 1 is smaller than 0.5 times of the radial size, the variation of the axial expansion and contraction of the software module 1 is relatively small, resulting in a very small range of motion of the shape memory driven software driver 100. When the axial dimension of the software module 1 is larger than 1.5 times of the radial dimension, the loading capacity of the software module 1 is relatively poor, and the shape memory driving software driver 100 is easy to shake when carrying the target object to move, so that the moving direction is deviated, and the target object cannot be sent to the target position.
The surface of the shape memory alloy spring 2 is coated with a heat insulation coating; the phase transition temperature of the shape memory alloy spring 2 is 50 degrees celsius or higher. In order to avoid the inaccurate motion direction of the shape memory driving software driver 100 caused by the fact that the temperature of the adjacent shape memory alloy spring 2 is increased to be higher than the phase transition temperature or the temperature of the adjacent shape memory alloy spring 2 cannot be reduced to be lower than the phase transition temperature due to the heat conducted to the adjacent shape memory alloy spring 2 by the heating adjusting module when the shape memory alloy spring 2 is heated. The heat transfer between the adjacent shape memory alloy springs 2 is reduced by coating the heat insulation coating on the surfaces of the shape memory alloy springs 2, or the shape memory alloy springs with the phase transition temperature of more than 50 ℃ are selected to be arranged in the software module 1, so that the influence of the heat transferred by the adjacent shape memory alloy springs 2 on the shape memory alloy springs is small.
The control method of the shape memory driver 100 of the present embodiment is used for controlling the shape memory driver 100, and comprises the following steps: heating a single shape memory alloy spring 2 or a plurality of circumferentially adjacent shape memory alloy springs 2 in the software module 1 to a temperature above the phase transition temperature through the heating adjusting module, and carrying out contraction or stretching movement on the heated shape memory alloy spring 2 so as to drive the software module 1 to deflect; after the soft body module 1 deflects to the appointed direction, the single shape memory alloy spring 2 or the plurality of adjacent shape memory alloy springs 2 are sequentially heated to the phase transition temperature through the heating adjusting module along the circumferential direction, so that the soft body module 1 performs circling motion around the axis.
In the present embodiment, six shape memory alloy springs 2, namely, the shape memory alloy spring S1, the shape memory alloy spring S2, the shape memory alloy spring S3, the shape memory alloy spring S4, the shape memory alloy spring S5 and the shape memory alloy spring S6, are equidistantly arranged in the peripheral direction of the software module 1, and all six shape memory alloy springs 2 are Ni-Ti memory alloy springs.
