Description

Soft finger for realizing sectional bending by using giant electrorheological fluid
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of soft robots, and particularly relates to a soft finger capable of realizing sectional bending by using giant electrorheological fluid.
Background
In recent years, the soft robot technology is rapidly developed along with material science, and is different from a robot which is composed of rigid parts in the traditional sense, a soft robot body is made of flexible materials, and the novel flexible robot can adapt to various unstructured environments, bears larger strain and is safer to interact with human beings. The soft robot overcomes the problems of poor flexibility, unsafe human-computer interaction and the like of the traditional robot, has a plurality of applications in the fields of medical robots, wearable robots, complex environment search and the like, and has a very optimistic development prospect.
For the soft hand of the end effector of the robot, the flexibility and the flexibility are important bases for measuring the performance of the robot gripper. Conventional rigid robots, although accurate to control, are not suitable for gripping delicate or soft objects like eggs, fruit, etc. due to their poor flexibility. The existing soft robot hand usually adopts a flexible material to reduce the rigidity so as to achieve the purpose of flexible grabbing, but the soft robot hand has the problems of vibration, small grabbing granularity, instability and the like when grabbing an object. Moreover, the current soft fingers can only realize bending with constant curvature, so that the working form of the soft hand is single and the soft hand cannot be well adapted to various changeable application scenes. Therefore, the multi-knuckle segmented rigidity-variable soft finger can ensure the stability when grabbing an object, can realize various different configurations of the soft finger to adapt to various application scenes, and has strong practical value and important research significance.
Patent CN109834721A discloses a multi-knuckle rigidity-variable soft finger, which is driven by tendon rope, and the inside of the knuckle is put with laminated copy paper, and the knuckle is pumped by negative pressure device through air duct to reduce its internal pressure. Thus, the soft matrix of knuckles becomes "integral" with the laminated copy paper and "hard"; when the air path is cut off, the soft base body is separated from the laminated copy paper to become soft, and the effect of changing the rigidity of the soft finger is realized. However, the soft hand driven by the tendon rope needs harder materials and has no obvious effect on flexibly grabbing objects. Moreover, the tendon rope drive also needs a set of wire pulling device for auxiliary work, and the wire pulling device has a complex structure and needs a corresponding control system. Moreover, after the copy paper in the knuckle is bent for many times, the rigidity of the knuckle is reduced, so that the service life of the soft finger adopting the rigidity changing method is not long. For another example, patent CN108858269A discloses a variable stiffness three-finger soft robot. The soft finger is driven in a pneumatic mode, artificial scales which are sequentially distributed in a stacked mode are arranged in the rigidity-variable layer, and the soft finger can be pressed tightly under the negative pressure condition to generate the effect of turning from soft to rigid. However, the rigidity-variable layer of the soft finger contains rigid materials such as artificial scales, the integral rigidity of the soft hand is increased, flexible grabbing cannot be effectively achieved, and the rigid materials are extruded and deformed when the soft hand grabs an object, so that the silica gel materials are easily scratched, and the soft hand is damaged. The patent CN109605417A discloses a multi-configuration soft hand grip, which realizes the rigidity change of the soft hand through electro-rheological fluid or magneto-rheological fluid; however, the soft gripper only has one knuckle and can only realize the constant curvature bending of the soft finger, and the practical scenes are limited due to the single working form of the soft gripper.
Therefore, the existing variable-rigidity soft fingers have the problems of unobvious flexibility effect, small rigidity adjusting range, small grabbing range, single working form, short service life and the like when grabbing objects more or less.

The configuration in fig. 5 is only schematic to illustrate the different forms of the finger, and no specific irrelevant details such as the expansion of the bellows are shown, and since the bending conditions at the joints of the knuckles depend on the air pressure and the stiffness of the knuckles, the bending angles at the joints are only schematic. The soft finger in this embodiment has three knuckles, so it can achieve eight different configurations as shown in fig. 5. The method specifically comprises the following steps: if the three knuckles are electrified before being inflated to change the giant electrorheological fluid into a solid state and further increase the rigidity of the knuckles, the knuckles will bend after the bellows 5 is inflated, and the joints of the knuckles will bend due to mutual deformation caused by the expansion of the accommodation cavities, so that the soft fingers take the shape as shown in (a) of fig. 5; if the knuckles 3 are energized before the gas is filled, so that the giant electrorheological fluid becomes solid and the stiffness of the knuckles becomes large, the knuckles 1 and 2 will bend after the bellows 5 is filled with gas, and the soft finger will take the shape as shown in fig. 5 (c). Therefore, before the bellows 5 is filled with gas, the rigidity of the knuckles is controlled by controlling the on-off of the electric fields of different knuckles, and various configuration changes of the final soft finger are realized. The specific conditions of the electrification of each variable stiffness layer and the corresponding conditions of the shapes of the soft fingers are shown in table 1, and the realization mode principles of other configurations are similar to those described above.

Referring to fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10, fig. 7 (a) shows a suitable scene of the soft finger form (b) in fig. 5, which shows that the finger bending in segments can be made shorter, thereby saving more material, and can lift the object to move more reliably than just grabbing the object by friction. Fig. 8 (a) shows an applicable scene diagram of the soft finger form (g) in fig. 5, and it can be clearly found through comparison that the finger bent in sections in the scene can lift the object to move, and only the finger bent in a normal curvature can touch the sharp edge of the object, so that the force is not good, and the sharp edge is easy to scratch the silica gel material to cause the soft hand damage. Fig. 9 (a) shows an application scene diagram of the soft finger form (e) in fig. 5, and fig. 10 (a) shows an application scene diagram of the soft finger form (g) in fig. 5, in both cases, the soft finger capable of changing stiffness in sections can achieve effective grabbing of the object.
