The present invention makees by taking Aabc in Fig. 3 as an example when by from the external environment with certain three-dimensional geometry scale articles X When firmly, the side contacted with article X generates different degrees of elastic deformation respectively and forms space to the three-dimensional geometry size of article X Cladding, realizes the adaptivity of geometry.
As shown in figure 8, a triangle of the external environment article X with certain space geometry at [tetrahedral formula] In white space among Abc;
Before generating contact, the direction of motion that is involutory of article X and [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit is along dotted arrow institute Refer to, dotted arrow is directed toward in a triangle Abc intermediate blank region of [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit;
After generating contact, article X is contacted with the triangle Abc of [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit generation, triangle Abc Generate corresponding elastic deformation;That is, side generates and a certain amount of is moved to A ', b ', c ' respectively inwards by original connecting node A, b, c Position, three rod pieces realize the adaptability to article X geometric dimension by the elastic deformation generated.
As shown in figure 9, after contact shown in Fig. 8 in the case where schematic diagram, it may be as the effect represented by dotted arrow The rotation of power unevenness, in addition A ' point is additionally limited by from rod piece A ' a, so that triangle A ' bc is generated around rod piece A ' a, makes At the twist motion of entire [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit, generated entirety deformation is further strengthened to article X geometry The adaptability of structure realizes the effect to article X motion stabilization when illustrating the instantaneously equal equation of each power shown in three arrows.
As shown in Figure 10, with certain space geometry external environment article X the position of [tetrahedral formula] almost It is evenly distributed in its triangle Abc and the region triangle Aac.
Before generating contact, the direction of motion that is involutory of article X and [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit is along dotted arrow institute Refer to, its triangle Abc and three sides are almost evenly distributed on respect to [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit due to article X simultaneously at this time In the region shape Aac, i.e., dotted arrow is generally directed to the direction rod piece A c;
After generating contact, article X is contacted with the rod piece A c of [tetrahedral formula] basic structural unit generation, and rod piece A c generates phase The elastic deformation answered;That is, article X is mainly contacted with bar Ac generation, so that bar Ac generates elastic deformation and formed to article X dimensioning Very little adaptability, side generates and a certain amount of is moved to A ', the position c ' original connecting node A, c respectively inwards.
Meanwhile the principle based on Fig. 9, the present invention, can be to them when article X is to the configuration difference connecting rod directed force unevenness The side of exerted forces forms twisting action, so that entire [tetrahedral formula] configuration also reverses therewith, further strengthens to object The adaptivity geometry of product X coats, and then realizes the motion stabilization to article X.
Foregoing merely illustrate the end effector fingers of [tetrahedral formula], when lower layer's connecting node quantity is more than three, Multiple above-mentioned [tetrahedral formula] basic structures can be considered as by being formed by [polyhedron formula] network configuration using similar above method The connecting node of lower layer is split by the superposition of type according to triplets, it is basic to be respectively formed different [tetrahedral formula] Then configuration carries out overlapping superposition at shared connecting rod, is combined into corresponding [polyhedron formula] composite network configuration, can pass through Similar above method realizes the adaptivity cladding and motion stabilization effect to the external environment by taking article X as an example.
The adaptive process of second basic unit of the invention are as follows:
Foregoing merely illustrate the first basic unit network structures, when by taking the second basic unit as an example, i.e., when upper layer connects When number of nodes is multiple, using similar above method be formed by [polyhedron formula] network configuration can be considered as it is multiple above-mentioned The superposition of [tetrahedral formula] basic configuration;It can also be realized by similar above method to the external environment by taking article X as an example Adaptivity cladding and motion stabilization effect.
As shown in figure 11, by taking a multilayer pyramid network structure such as Fig. 5 b as an example, when by external environment article X When effect from different angle, the adaptivity deformation that network structure according to the present invention generates, wherein a figure is network knot The mock-up of structure Aabcd, b figure are the adaptivity deformation generated when article X is mainly acted on from side Aab, and c figure is to work as object Product X is mainly from the adaptivity deformation generated when acting on close to Ab rod piece, and whole network structure generates torsion counterclockwise and makes at this time Contact surface self-adaption is side Aab, and d figure is the adaptivity deformation generated when article X is mainly acted on from close Aa rod piece, this When whole network structure generate clockwise torsion make contact surface self-adaption side Aab.
These are only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, is not intended to restrict the invention, for those skilled in the art For member, the invention may be variously modified and varied.All within the spirits and principles of the present invention, it is made it is any modification, Equivalent replacement, improvement etc., should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
