This embodiment provides a driving device based on soft muscle.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the driving device includes at least two soft muscles 1000, a fluid source, a base, and a driving seat.
The soft muscle 1000 has a closed cavity, the wall of the closed cavity has a cavity sidewall 1200, and the cavity sidewall 1200 has a folded structure.
The fluid source is used for providing fluid for the corresponding soft muscle 1000, the at least two soft muscles 1000 comprise at least one first soft muscle 1500 and at least one second soft muscle 1600, the closed cavity of the first soft muscle 1500 is communicated with the fluid source, the fluid pressure in the corresponding soft muscle 1000 is controlled by the fluid source, and the closed cavity of the second soft muscle 1600 is disconnected with the fluid source and is in a closed state.
One end of the soft muscle 1000 is installed on the base.
The driving seat is used for installing a driving object, and the other end of the soft muscle 1000 is connected with the driving seat for driving the driving seat to move.
Referring to fig. 1-3, due to the addition of the soft muscle 1000, when the driving object needs to be driven, the fluid source fills fluid or recovers fluid into the first soft muscle 1500, so that the folding structure of the first soft muscle 1500 is stretched or folded to drive the driving seat to move, and further the driving seat drives the driving object to move, thereby driving the driving object. The driving device has the advantages of few participating components, light weight, lower design requirement, simple assembly and low cost. The second soft muscle 1600, driven by the first soft muscle 1500, can provide the driving device with less variable parameters, which is beneficial to the subsequent calculation of the required data.
It should be noted that the first soft muscle 1500 and the second soft muscle 1600 are collectively referred to as the soft muscle 1000, and the structures thereof may be identical, except that the second soft muscle 1600 is disconnected from the fluid source by technical means during use, for example, a valve, a plug or other suitable technical means may be adopted.
Referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the folding structure includes a plurality of annular ridges 1210, a plurality of lateral ridges 1220 and a plurality of folding surfaces 1230, the annular ridges 1210 include convex ridges 1211 and concave ridges 1212, in the annular ridges 1210, the convex ridges 1211 and the concave ridges 1212 are alternately connected end to form annular structures, the annular ridges 1210 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the closed cavity, the convex ridges 1211 of each annular structure correspond to the concave ridges 1212 of the adjacent annular structure, and the concave ridges 1212 of each annular structure correspond to the convex ridges 1211 of the adjacent annular structure;
the connection point of the convex ridge 1211 and the concave ridge 1212 in the annular ridges 1210 is an apex, the side ridges 1220 extend from the apex of one annular ridge 1210 to the corresponding apex of the adjacent annular ridge 1210, and the folding surface 1230 is arranged between the two adjacent side ridges 1220 and the corresponding concave ridge 1212 and convex ridge 1211, so that when the pressure of fluid in the closed cavity changes, the folding structure can be deformed to realize the folding or extending of the folding structure along the axial direction of the closed cavity.
Because the side wall 1200 of the cavity is provided with the folding structure, when the soft muscle 1000 is used, pressure fluid is input or discharged through the inlet and outlet 1300, the folding surface 1230 is driven to deform and open around the annular ridge 1210, and the extension and the shortening of the soft muscle 1000 are realized. Compared with a smooth surface, the ridges of the folded structure increase the structural toughness of the closed cavity to internal pressure and external load, maintain the structural stability under heavy load and heavy input pressure, and increase the bearing capacity of the soft muscle 1000 to static or dynamic load, even impact load. Therefore, the structural strength and stability of the soft muscle 1000 are enhanced by the annular ridge 1210, the lateral ridges 1220 and the vertexes, so that the soft muscle 1000 can stably perform linear motion without an external limiting structure. The soft muscle 1000 can output a large force because the soft muscle 1000 has a stable structure and can bear a large fluid pressure and convert the fluid pressure into a linear output force, and the situation that the structure collapses when a common soft structure is stressed, so that the internal fluid pressure is lost by the soft structure or the output direction is changed by buckling can be avoided. It should be noted that the cavity sidewall 1200 is made of a flexible material, and specifically, may be made of silicon or other suitable materials.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, the soft muscle 1000 forms a macroscopic motion of the closed cavity through the motion composition of the local folded structure, and the opening and closing around the ridge is also the limitation of the folded structure to the macroscopic motion of the cavity. Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the direction indicated by the arrow a in fig. 6 is the direction of the folding surface being opened and closed. When the pressure inside the closed cavity of the embodiment is changed, the pressure acts on the folding surface 1230 of each folding structure, and the linear motion of the closed cavity in one direction is realized by the guiding and limiting effect of the folding structures on the deformation motion.
The soft muscle 1000 of this embodiment overcomes the disadvantages of many participating components, heavy weight, high design requirement, complex assembly and lubrication, and high cost in the conventional driving scheme that the motor, the reducer, and the transmission mechanism (e.g., screw nut, connecting rod) are required to convert the rapid rotation of the motor into an ideal linear output. Meanwhile, compared with the existing soft muscle 1000, the composition is simpler (optimally, one material can be used for producing the whole muscle), the processing process is simpler and more efficient, and the mass production can be directly realized. And can output larger thrust under the same weight. The process of obtaining the desired output by designing the geometric parameters of the soft-bodied meat is more straightforward.
Referring to fig. 3-7, another advantage of the soft muscle 1000 of this embodiment is that the folding structure keeps the effective pressed area of the cavity in any cross section perpendicular to the axial direction constant when the cavity is extended or retracted. Thus, when the two end faces 1110 are pushed to move in the extension direction by the pressure acting on the two end faces 1110, if an external obstruction is encountered, the output force of the end faces 1110 is linear with the internal pressure. It should be noted that the effective pressure area is considered as the area of a designated area between the outer diameter circle and the inner diameter circle of the muscle, and is verified through experiments and theoretical comparison, and in the soft muscle 1000 of this embodiment, i.e. the area marked as B in fig. 7, due to the principle of air pressure or hydraulic pressure, the linearity of the muscle output force relative to the internal pressure is directly related to the effective pressure area. Therefore, the folding structure of the soft muscle 1000 of this embodiment can be very close to keep the inner diameter and the outer diameter constant when the muscle is stretched and shortened, i.e., the effective pressure area constant, thereby showing a linear output. In addition, since the soft muscle 1000 is flexible, the application range of the soft muscle 1000 can be further expanded by realizing bending and twisting of the soft muscle 1000 by means of external restriction or guidance.
Referring to fig. 3 and 7, in one embodiment, the ring structure is a plane-symmetric structure. Specifically, the annular structure may be a planar symmetric multi-variable shape, such as a hexagon, and the specific shape may be flexibly selected according to actual needs. In practice, each folding surface 1230 of the folding structure of the soft muscle 1000 may be different. The arrangement of the ridges 1211 and the ridges 1212, as well as the geometric parameters and configuration of each ring structure, can be designed as desired.
Referring to fig. 3 and 7, in an embodiment, the shape of the ring structure includes a hexagon, the ring structure is a hexagon, six sides of the hexagon include three ridges 1211 and three ridges 1212, the three ridges 1211 and the three ridges 1212 are spaced apart and connected end to form the ring structure.
Referring to fig. 3 and 7, in one embodiment, the length of the ridges 1211 of the annular ridge 1210 is the same, the length of the ridges 1212 of the annular ridge 1210 is the same, and the length of the ridges 1211 is different from the length of the ridges 1212, such that each folding surface 1230 has a trapezoidal shape. Through the scheme, the folding surfaces 1230 are all in the same trapezoid shape, and the trapezoid folding surfaces 1230 are beneficial to further improving the structural strength and stability of the soft muscle 1000.
Referring to fig. 3 and 7, in one embodiment, the length of the ridges 1211 is shorter than the length of the ridges 1212. The folding surface 1230, the ridge 1211 and the concave ridge 1212 form a trapezoid with the ridge 1211 as the short side and the concave ridge 1212 as the long side, which is beneficial to further enhance the structural strength and stability of the soft muscle 1000.
In other embodiments, the length of the ridge 1211 may be longer than the length of the concave ridge 1212 or the length of the ridge 1211 may be the same as the length of the concave ridge 1212.
Referring to fig. 3-7, in one embodiment, the annular ridge 1210 and the lateral ridges 1220 have a thickness greater than the thickness of the folding surface 1230. By increasing the thickness of the circumferential ridge 1210 and the lateral ridges 1220, it is beneficial to further increase the structural strength and stability of the soft muscle 1000.
