Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the description relating to "first", "second", etc. in the present invention is for descriptive purposes only and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of those skilled in the art, and when the technical solutions are contradictory or cannot be realized, the combination of the technical solutions should not be considered to exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, embodiment 1 of the soft bionic finger of the present invention includes a soft bionic finger, comprising: at least two knuckles 1 and a telescopic structure 2 for connecting the at least two knuckles 1. The knuckle 1 is a hollow flexible pipe body; the knuckle 1 and the telescopic structure 2 are communicated to form a closed air cavity 10, the telescopic structure 2 comprises a linear bottom surface and a wave-shaped structure connected with the linear bottom surface, the wave-shaped structure comprises at least one wave crest and at least one wave trough, and the wave crest and the wave trough are sequentially connected.

The utility model discloses the bionical finger of software through setting up extending structure 2, will indicate knuckle 1 to connect, utilizes the process that air cavity 10 aerifys and loses heart in the extending structure 2, produces the bending, because the existence of knuckle 1 forms the bionic effect of similar human finger simultaneously, compares current scheme, and true human finger is pressed close to better, possesses stronger gripping, presses down the function, possesses more outstanding bionical performance.

In this embodiment, the knuckle includes three knuckle 1, is fingertip section 11, indicates abdomen section 12 and indicates root section 13 respectively, indicate tip section 11, indicate abdomen section 12 and indicate root section 13 to pass through extending structure 2 connects gradually, indicate that root section 13 tail end seals and communicates with external gas circuit through the trachea, indicate that tip section 11 front end height reduces along the fingertip direction gradually. Indicate the setting of pointed section 11, indicate abdomen section 12 and indicate root section 13, press close to the form that human actual pointed more, can provide more excellent bionic effect, the field such as specially adapted massage, snatch, the effect is pressed down in snatching of simulation people's hand that can be more accurate.

In this embodiment, extending structure 2 includes linear bottom surface and encircles the wave structure that linear bottom surface set up, wave structure include a plurality of crests and troughs that connect gradually, and the width of crest is gradually diminishing along vertical upward direction, and the width of trough is gradually becoming big along vertical upward direction, the cross section of wave structure is arc. In actual work, because the elastic modulus of the linear bottom surface is greater than that of the wavy structure, when the closed air cavity is inflated, the deformation of the wavy structure is greater than that of the linear bottom surface, so that the wavy structure stretches and forms bending; when the closed air cavity 10 is deflated, the wave-shaped structure contracts under the elastic action of the wave crests and the wave troughs to form a flat state of the soft bionic finger. And the circular arc cross section of the wavy structure can ensure relatively good torque and resist the torsional deformation of the soft bionic finger when stressed.

In other embodiments, the linear base has a cross-section of "ㄩ" and the wave-shaped structure is located on the upper side of the linear base, which ensures the bending directionality and does not generate the radial deformation of the soft bionic finger, as shown in fig. 4.

As a further optimization of the present embodiment, in order to improve the bionic performance, the bottom of the closed air cavity is provided with a heating assembly, which includes a heating circuit 4 and a temperature sensor 5 closely attached to the bottom of the closed air cavity, in a manner more similar to human fingers. And a bending sensor (not shown) for sensing the bending degree of the soft bionic finger is further arranged at the bottom in the closed air cavity. The lower side of the knuckle 1 is provided with a bionic layer, and preferably, the bionic layer is made of silica gel.

The utility model discloses still provide a bionic manipulator as shown in figure 5, include: a base 6 and the soft bionic finger arranged on the base. The base 6 can be a circular base, the soft bionic fingers are arranged on the soft bionic fingers in an array, or a human body palm imitating mode can be adopted, two to four soft bionic fingers are sequentially arranged on the base 6 in a straight line, and then one soft bionic finger is independently arranged on one side of the straight line soft bionic finger, as shown in fig. 6. Therefore, the palm conforming to the actual condition of the human body is formed, and the actual grabbing and pressing actions of the human body are more closely followed.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that: for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
