Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of preparation and application of artificial muscle type flexible drivers, and particularly relates to a device and a method for manufacturing artificial muscle coated and twisted by a sheath material.
Background
In recent years, artificial muscles having high flexibility and high output have been applied to advanced fields such as medical rehabilitation devices and biomimetic robots. The existing artificial muscle generally has a pneumatic type artificial muscle, and the principle of the existing artificial muscle is to change the pressure inside a cavity body so as to enable the artificial muscle to contract or expand to drive a corresponding motion part; the disadvantages are that: needs external pneumatic equipment 9, has larger volume and weight and is not easy to carry. The dielectric elastomer artificial muscle has the principle that when an electric field is applied, the charges of the elastomer are mutually extruded or repelled to generate deformation; the disadvantage is that very high applied voltages are used, increasing the risk of use. Thin film flexure actuators made of Ionic Polymer Metal Composites (IPMC) tend to have lower output forces.
CN111390895A discloses an artificial muscle module with a dielectric elastomer spring structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The disadvantages are that: the circuit voltage is very high, and the safety faces great challenges; the spring and dielectric elastomer are in a resistive relationship and the drive performance of the dielectric elastomer is lost.
CN102044627A discloses electrostrictive composite materials and electrostrictive elements which are in the shape of sheets and actuated in a curved manner, which limits the application in the field of artificial muscles or actuators. CN102044627A does not mention the magnitude of the output force of the actuator, which determines the type of device it can drive, and the temperature range of the actuator deformation, and it is very important to control the deformation temperature because the melting temperature of the polymer is relatively low.
CN202010881926.1 discloses an electrostrictive spiral artificial muscle and its preparation and application, but it cannot realize automatic twisting. The actuator structure designed by the invention is of a spiral type, and the actuation mode is contraction, so that the invention is more widely applied to the field of artificial muscles or actuation.

The assumption of the convention is that:
1. the time t when the CNT film passes through the point a on the nylon thread (core thread) is the wrapping time at the point a, and the number z of wrapping layers is estimated.
2. To ensure the coating uniformity, the angle α needs to be kept constant, which requires that the CNT horizontal moving speed v1 on the nylon wire (core wire) be equal to the moving distance v2 of the screw platform.
Solution:
after the lapse of the time t,
the horizontal moving distance of the CNT film on the nylon string is as follows: l1＝v1t＝n1t s1；
The horizontal moving distance of the CNT Forest driven by the screw rod platform is as follows: l2＝v2t＝n2t s2；
Namely:
to equalize the speeds: v. of1＝v2Obtaining:
the following steps are provided:
and (4) calculating the layer number:
let a be sin α ∈ (0,1), and obtain:

the assumption of the convention is that:
1. the time t when the sheath material crosses the point a on the core wire is the wrapping time of the point a, and therefore the number z of wrapping layers is calculated;
2. in order to ensure the coating uniformity, the angle alpha needs to be kept constant, which needs to make the horizontal moving speed v1 of the sheath material on the core wire equal to the moving distance v2 of the screw rod platform;
solution:
after the lapse of the time t,
the horizontal travel distance of the sheath material on the core wire is: l1＝v1t＝n1t s1；
