Be the operation principle of the present invention and the course of work below:
It is flexible back bone that spiral spring frame hydraulic pneumatic formula flexible bending joint of the present invention adopts helical spring 18, and elastomeric bellow 5c is subjected to expand as muscular motivation behind the air pressure.After elastomeric bellow 5c inner chamber is subjected to air pressure, because in the restriction of a side helical spring 18, can not axial elongation, opposite side can axial elongation, therefore produces crooked.When not being subjected to the external force state, the arthrogryposis angle is relevant with its IA fluid pressure; During work, external active force increases with IA fluid pressure; The joint has certain flexibility crooked with reversing, thereby low to position accuracy demand, and has cushioning effect.By the effect of helical spring 18, reinstatement after the arthrogryposis, analyze the stress deformation of helical spring 18, to the relation of the bending deformation quantity and the fluid pressure in joint, easily set up Mathematical Modeling, be convenient to accurate control.
As shown in Figure 17, the fluid passage in joint has flexible pipe, the three-position four-way valve that path blocks, import and export adjustable throttling and pressure transmitter etc.Pressure transmitter is mainly used to the pressure of test fluid, and this pressure signal is transformed into the voltage or the electric current signal of telecommunication of standard, so that control use.The effect of air accumulator or accumulator is the pressure stability in liquid gas pressure power source in the assurance work.When static control or dynamic accuracy are less demanding, control system adopts pressure transmitter to transmit pressure signal, in computer relatively according to the pressure parameter of model numerical value computational chart or experiment parameter matched curve and predefined value, the electromagnetic valve coil of break-make three-position four-way valve.The 1DT dead electricity, 2DT gets electric, and the arthrogryposis angle constantly increases; The equal dead electricity of 1DT, 2DT keeps the arthrogryposis angle; 2DT dead electricity, 1DT get electric, and the effect by spring makes IA fluid evacuation, and finger stretches.The fast jogging speed of point bending, stretching is by the import and export adjustable throttle valve regulation of fluid passage.When dynamically control accuracy is high, need be on bending joint setting angle and power sense sensor, adopt closed-loop fashion to control in real time.
During the multi-joint combination, according to the operation requirement, the gas circuit in each joint that number is the amount doesn't matter has a cover flexible pipe separately, three-position four-way valve, above-mentioned control systems such as import and export choke valve and pressure transmitter are controlled separately separately, when therefore pointing as multi-joint, multiarticulate harmony is good.
