Description

Flexible tongs device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and relates to a flexible gripper device, in particular to a flexible gripper device which is adjustable in rigidity and capable of automatically opening and closing.
Background
Robots are the hot spot of current research. The gripper is an actuating mechanism of the robot and naturally a hotspot of current research.
The flexible grip is also easy to transport because the traditional rigid grip is easy to damage the gripped object. The original flexible grip is simply made of a rigid material instead of a flexible material, and the rigidity is not adjustable. Although the flexible gripper has the advantages that the traditional manipulator can protect the easily broken grabbed objects incomparably, the inherent characteristics of the flexible material used by the flexible gripper determine the defects of small gripping force, low rigidity of a non-support structure, poor gripping stability and the like of the flexible gripper, and the application of the flexible gripper is severely limited.
John r, Amend et al propose a flexible gripper with a large amount of granular material wrapped by an elastomer, utilize the principle of particle interference to improve the gripping ability of the flexible gripper, and simultaneously can grip and place a plurality of objects. Cheng et al have invented a continuous manipulator consisting of microparticles and cable driven actuators that can achieve powerful motions and large output forces, and the principle of particle interference is gradually applied to the field of variable stiffness grippers, and the principle of particle interference variable stiffness theory implementation is summarized as follows: particle interference devices typically consist of an outer soft elastic membrane containing solid discrete materials (particles). This results in a very high compliance at atmospheric pressure, since the particles can easily flow and move inside the flexible membrane, but when a vacuum is applied, air is expelled and the membrane collapses over the particles. The friction between the fillers and the density of the overall structure increases due to overcrowding of the material. When the material is densely packed, friction hinders dislocation of the material, so that the whole structure resembles a hard block of material. In this way, the stiffness of the flexible holder can be adjusted by evacuating. However, as an ideal flexible grip, it is far from sufficient that the stiffness is adjustable. In addition, the existing flexible gripper does not have the functions of opening and closing, cannot well perform the gripping function, and is a place to be improved.
