Description

Artificial tubular muscle
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of robot limb and uses artificial tubular muscle.
Background technology
At present, artificial-muscle is widely used in robot field, medical field, military field and industrial circle as the driving element of bionic joint and manipulator.Artificial-muscle has two types of fluid drives and Electromagnetic Drive.Fluid-operated artificial-muscle; Power-weight ratio is big; Control is convenient, flexible, and flexibility and shock-absorbing capacity are good, is the focus of research always; Chinese invention patent CN200810116379.7 discloses a kind of type artificial-muscle that is radially expanded, and Chinese invention patent CN97110134.5 discloses a kind of axial elongation type artificial-muscle.Be radially expanded the type artificial-muscle, volume is big, on little joint, uses to be restricted, existing axial elongation type artificial-muscle; Adopt macromolecular material to accompany high strength fibre and process, become tubular structure, when this composite construction inner chamber is inflated; The helical structure that fiber constitutes can twist around its axis, can cause robot actuating station, like hand, pin dislocation; Influence its operation degree of accuracy,, then can strengthen cladding rigidity in order to reduce its influence; If rubber rigidity during greater than helical structure rigidity, forms internal force and strengthens, influence the service life of muscle; Because tube wall adopts composite construction, make difficulty, technological requirement is high, and price is more expensive, and its application also is restricted.
The utility model content
The technical problem that (one) will solve
The technical problem that the utility model will solve provides a kind of artificial tubular muscle simple in structure, easy to manufacture, easy for installation.
(2) technical scheme
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the artificial tubular muscle that the utility model provided comprises upper end cover, bottom end cover, is arranged on the inner layer expansion pipe between upper end cover and the bottom end cover and is set in the outer wrap outside the inner layer expansion pipe; The place is provided with tapped through hole at described bottom end cover; Be provided with two parallel inner layer expansion pipes between upper end cover and the bottom end cover.
As a kind of optimal way of the utility model, described outer wrap can be processed with a spring wire that is the multilayer distribution, and every layer of first section camber along curved on the hand of helix, advances the second section counterclockwise; The spring wire of second section is along same helical angle direction, and camber is gone up curved more counterclockwise, advances third section; Third section spring wire is along same helical angle direction, and is curved on the camber clockwise direction, advances the fourth section; The spring wire of fourth section is along same helical angle direction, and is curved on the camber clockwise direction, gets into another layer of dicyclo bidirectional screw spring.The available elasticity of inner layer expansion pipe is good, and the fatigue proof rubber that deformation quantity is big is processed.
As the further improvement of the utility model, the tapped through hole place of described bottom end cover is provided with restrictor ring, and the upper end cover top is provided with internal thread hole.
(3) beneficial effect
The advantage of the utility model is: but axial expansion, elongation when hydraulic fluid such as charging in two inner layer expansion pipes can be shunk during pressure release, resilience automatically; When charging into hydraulic fluid such as non-in two inner layer expansion pipes, can realize that two-way active is crooked, its flexibility is good; Function is strong, and stable action is used flexibly; Compact conformation, simple is made easily, and is cheap; Easy for installation, the utlity model has excellent popularization using value and good market prospects.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the utility model.
The helical spring sketch map of the two-way cylindricality of dicyclo that Fig. 2 provides for the utility model.
The specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment, the specific embodiment of the utility model is described in further detail.Following examples are used to explain the utility model, but are not used for limiting the scope of the utility model.
Can be known by Fig. 1: the artificial tubular muscle that the utility model adopts comprises upper end cover 1, bottom end cover 4, inner layer expansion pipe 2 and is set in the outer wrap 3 outside the inner layer expansion pipe 2; Be provided with tapped through hole 5 at bottom end cover 4 places, be provided with two parallel inner layer expansion pipes 2 between upper end cover 1 and the bottom end cover 4.
Outer wrap 3 forms parallelly connected tubular structure by a spring wire coiled, and cross section is the figure of eight, is sandwich construction, and every layer of 11 one-tenth of first section is semicircle, along curved on the hand of helix, advances second section 12 counterclockwise; The spring wire of second section 12 becomes semicircle along same helical angle direction, and is counterclockwise upward curved again, advances third section 13; Third section 13 spring wire becomes semicircle along same helical angle direction, and is curved on the clockwise direction, advances fourth section 14; The spring wire of fourth section 14 becomes curved on the semicircle clockwise direction along same helical angle direction, gets into helical spring another layer of the two-way cylindricality of dicyclo; This spring constraint inner layer expansion pipe 2 is radially expanded, not limit axial elongation, and auxiliary resilience changes spring parameter after the release, can change the mechanical characteristic of artificial-muscle.Described spring, engineering plastics such as metal material such as available steel, aluminium alloy, copper alloy or ABS, fiber, carbon element are processed.
Inner layer expansion pipe 2 can be good with elasticity, and the fatigue proof rubber that deformation quantity is big is processed, like natural rubber, butadiene-styrene rubber, organic silicon rubber.Upper end cover 1, bottom end cover 4 available metal materials or engineering plastics are processed.Above-described upper end cover 1 can press notes or machining to be integral with inner layer expansion pipe 2 or bottom end cover 4 with inner layer expansion pipe 2.The seal nipple that feeds pressure fluid is installed at bottom end cover 4 places of threaded through hole 5, can link to each other with corresponding joint through its outer side bayonet slot, and tapped through hole 5 places are provided with restrictor ring 6; Upper end cover 1 top is provided with internal thread hole, links to each other with corresponding joint with the screw mode.
During use, the pipe joint that connects through bottom end cover 4 injects fluid in artificial tubular muscle, when hydraulic fluid such as charging into; Inner layer expansion pipe 2 pressurizeds, distortion are identical, because the constraint of outer wrap 3 is arranged, inner layer expansion pipe 2 extends vertically; Export certain thrust, artificial-muscle shortens during release; When charging into hydraulic fluid such as non-, the axial elongation amount of two inner layer expansion pipes 2 is inequality, integrally bending.
The above is merely the preferred implementation of the utility model; Should be understood that; For those skilled in the art; Under the prerequisite that does not break away from the utility model know-why, can also make some improvement and retouching, these improvement and retouching also should be regarded as the protection domain of the utility model.
