When the distal-segment lower cover 221 is in contact with an object and is stressed, the distal-segment lower cover 221 and the half-tooth screw 219 integrally move slightly along the cylindrical guide groove 2031 of the distal-segment connecting rod, so that the pressure sensor 220 is pressed to realize fingertip force measurement.

The design optimization method of the finger connecting rod provided by the invention can quickly and conveniently design a finger under-actuated rod group, has better stress condition, simultaneously links each joint in an approximate 1:1 relation, and comprises the following steps:
step one, determining the total length of the finger. Firstly, the total length of the fingers is determined according to the actual use scene and the actual requirement of the paw. In general, the larger the load of the paw, the larger the overall dimension, and the finger of the human-simulated paw usually occupies 45% -50% of the length of the whole hand, and the finger length of this embodiment is 80 mm.
Secondly, determining the lengths of the proximal finger connecting rod 201, the middle finger connecting rod 202 and the distal finger connecting rod 203 according to the diameter of the fingers and the thickness of the palm; wherein, the total length of the finger is composed of a proximal finger link 201, a middle finger link 202 and a distal finger link 203, as shown in fig. 13, it is defined that the rotational connection point of the finger base 102 and the proximal finger link 201 is C, the rotational connection point of the finger base 102 and the middle finger transmission frame 204 is D, the rotational connection point of the middle finger transmission frame 204 and the middle finger link 202 is E, the rotational connection point of the proximal finger link 201 and the middle finger link 202 is F, the rotational connection point of the middle distal finger transmission frame 205 and the proximal finger link 201 is G, the rotational connection point of the middle distal finger transmission frame 205 and the distal finger link 203 is H, and the rotational connection point of the middle finger link 202 and the distal finger link 203 is I; the end point of the distal link 203 is J, and the length relationship of the links satisfies the following formula:
Figure BDA0003394073160000071
wherein lCJTotal length of finger, /)CFIs the length of the proximal link, /)FILength of the middle link, /)IJFor a length of a distal link, dpThickness of palm, dfIs the finger diameter. In this embodiment, the total finger length is determined by the motor and structure to be 80mm, dpIs 24mm, dfThe length of the proximal connecting rod 201 is 40mm, the length of the middle connecting rod 202 is 23mm, and the length of the distal connecting rod 203 is 17mm, which are obtained from the above formula.
And step three, determining the initial included angle and other rod lengths of each connecting rod. As shown in fig. 14, the included angles ≤ xCD, < EFI, < CFG, and < HIJ of the finger link structure are different according to different ranges of the working angles of the fingers. When the upper limit position of the proximal joint rotation angle of the finger is horizontal and the total stroke is theta (positive value), in order to ensure reasonable stress condition, the included angle of each joint is preferably selected by adopting the following relation.
Figure BDA0003394073160000072
Wherein the rod lHI、lGF、lCD、lEFShould satisfy at the same time
Figure BDA0003394073160000081
Figure BDA0003394073160000082
And step four, calculating and selecting proper connecting rod length and angle according to requirements, and calculating or drawing to obtain the lengths of the rods GH and DE according to the horizontal initial positions of CF, FI and IJ.
In this embodiment, when the reduction motor 207 rotates, the three joints between the finger base 102, the proximal finger link 201, the middle finger link 202, and the distal finger link 203 all rotate, the finger proximal joint angle stroke θ is 90 °, < xCD is 135 °, < EFI is 135 °, < CFG is 67.5 °, < HIJ is 157.5 °, and HI ═ GF ═ EF ═ CD ═ 8 mm.
The length of the rods GH and DE can be obtained by calculating or drawing the initial position of the CF, FI and IJ level. Wherein the middle section transmission frame 204 is 41.57mm long, and the middle section transmission frame 205 is 21.4mm long. Calculated, at this time, the joint thetaFI、θIJThe angles are as follows.
Figure BDA0003394073160000083
Wherein, thetaCFTo indicate the angle of rotation of the proximal link, thetaFITo indicate the angle of rotation of the middle link, thetaIJFor the knuckle connecting rod corner, each joint corner is approximately 1: the relation 1. The under-actuated coupling method is adopted, so that the flexibility of fingers is reduced, the gripping influence on the paw is small, the number of paw drivers is reduced, and the paw structure is more compact.
In this example, the included angle alpha between the rotation shaft of the side swing joint and the movement plane of the index finger is 10 degrees, the included angle beta between the rotation shaft of the side swing joint and the palm plane is 15 degrees, and the complex grasping application is realized through the angle of the side swing joint and the movement of each joint of the fingers. As shown in fig. 15, the robot gripper can complete the gripping postures of most human hands such as three-finger side pinching, transverse pinching, three-finger pinching, cylindrical gripping and the like.
The transmission links of the N +3 driving devices of the gripper comprise one or more combinations of self-locking transmission links such as worm and gear transmission, screw rod transmission and the like. When the gripper picks a task, when the gripper catches an object and keeps the gripping state for a long time, the self-locking link in the transmission link ensures that the motor keeps the gripping state of the gripper under the condition of not exerting force, thereby greatly reducing the power consumption of the motor and reducing the heating of the motor.
In the above embodiments, when the terms "connected" or "disposed" or "mounted" in the structural configuration are used, it means that one element may be directly connected to another element or intervening elements may be present.
