Description

A kind of flexible joint of multi-directionally bending
Technical field:
The utility model relates to a kind of flexible joint of multi-directionally bending, this flexible joint can be used as all kinds of joints of robot, manipulator and disabled person's artificial limb, especially the robot joint of the need multi-directional bending as the shoulder joint of human body belongs to applied technical fields such as robot, manipulator and disabled person's artificial limb.
Background technology:
Before the utility model is made, in prior art, for bending joint: be power generally, adopt various frame for movements, or liquid gas pressure cylinder and motor with all kinds of motors or liquid gas pressure, or with their executive component that is combined as.Aforesaid way is a rigid structure, complex structure, and volume is bigger, the manufacturing cost height.The bending joint that adopts logical compressed-air actuated rubber wall (but the big round rubber pipe of a kind of axial deformation) is also arranged, since rubber wall axially, radially all will expand, but being radially expanded is the waste energy, and the flexural deformation to rubber wall can't obtain than mathematical models, dynamically the control effect is bad, and is sensitive inadequately; More crucial is the flexible joint of prior art, can only a direction bending, can not realize multi-directional bending.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this utility model is to overcome above-mentioned weak point, and it is flexible back bone that the utility model bending joint adopts flat spring or round bar spring, and the ripple shell is subjected to axially to expand as muscular motivation behind the fluid pressure, can realize multi-directional bending as the shoulder joint of human body.The rebound effect of backup plate spring or round bar spring, the reinstatement of diastrophic joint.The variation sensitivity of the distortion fluid pressure of ripple shell requires fluid flow little, the arthrogryposis flexible movements, and it is little to consume energy, simultaneously dynamic control accuracy height.
Main solution of the present utility model is achieved in that
Ripple shell 3 (vertical sectional shape of single-unit ripple shell is the rubber bellows of shapes such as " V ", " U ", " Ω ") is clamped on the bayonet socket of headstock 1 and tailstock 4 by clip 2, the enclosed cavity that ripple shell 3, headstock 1 and tailstock 4 constitute; Fluid enters the joint cavity by flexible pipe 7 and angle coupling 6, and 4 of angle coupling 6 and tailstocks have sealing ring 5 sealings; Constitute an independent fluid by above-mentioned part and driven the muscle assembly.The two ends of flat spring 9 are clamped in two fluids by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 location and drive in the guiding square groove 17 of the headstock 1 of muscle assemblies and tailstock 4, drive the muscle assemblies by two fluids like this and flat spring 9 shapes have constituted the compound bending flexible joint.Or a plurality of fluids drive the muscle assemblies respectively by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 through guide pads 10 location after, be fixed on the regular polygon base 16 at two ends, the limit number of regular polygon base 16 equals the number that fluid drives the muscle assembly; The two ends of round bar spring 13 connect semicircle guide pin bushing 11, semicircle guide pin bushing 11 little plugs with gap in the spiral cover 12 that has fine thread by split pin 14; Rotation spiral cover 12 is regulated the position of round bar spring 13; Change the semicircle guide pin bushing 11 and the round bar spring 13 of different-diameter,, make the joint have different dynamic characteristics to change the rigidity of round bar spring 13.
Compared with the prior art the utility model has the following advantages:
It is flexible back bone that the flexible joint of the utility model multi-directionally bending adopts flat spring or round bar spring, and the ripple shell is subjected to expand as muscular motivation after the fluid pressure action.The arthrogryposis angle is relevant with the fluid pressure in the cavity of joint; During work, grip increases with the fluid pressure in each joint cavity; When being hit, cushioning effect, and articulation structure preferably also has cushioning effect to moment of torsion.The effect of backup plate spring or round bar spring, reinstatement after the arthrogryposis.The utility model joint requires fluid flow little, the variation sensitivity of the distortion fluid pressure of ripple shell, and little pressure variation just produces obvious bending change; It is little to have dutycycle (ratio of the fluid space that the bending of ripple shell takies when stretching), and power/quality is than little, and little characteristics consume energy.And the relation of bending deformation quantity and fluid pressure is easily set up Mathematical Modeling, dynamic control accuracy height, and arthrogryposis is flexible.

The specific embodiment:
Embodiment during following the utility model is incited somebody to action in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is further described:
The utility model mainly is made up of headstock 1, clip 2, ripple shell 3, tailstock 4, sealing ring 5, angle coupling 6, flexible pipe 7, hexagon socket head cap screw 8, flat spring 9, guide pad 10, semicircle guide pin bushing 11, spiral cover 12, round bar spring 13, split pin 14, dome 15, regular polygon base 16, guiding square groove 17 etc.The single-unit vertical sectional shape of ripple shell 3 of the present utility model is rubber bellows such as " V ", " U ", " Ω ".
Fluid shown in accompanying drawing 5,6 drives the muscle assembly: ripple shell 3 is clamped on the bayonet socket of headstock 1 and tailstock 4 by clip 2, the enclosed cavity that ripple shell 3, headstock 1 and tailstock 4 constitute; Fluid enters the joint cavity by flexible pipe 7 and angle coupling 6, and 4 of angle coupling 6 and tailstocks have sealing ring 5 sealings.
Compound bending flexible joint shown in accompanying drawing 3,4: the two ends of flat spring 9 are clamped in two fluids by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 location and drive in the guiding square groove 17 identical on muscle assembly headstocks 1 and the tailstock 4.
Multi-directional bending flexible joint shown in accompanying drawing 1,2: after a plurality of pneumatic muscles assemblies are located through guide pad 10 by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 respectively, be fixed on regular polygon base 16, the limit number of regular polygon base 16 equals the number that fluid drives the muscle assembly, and the limit number of regular polygon base 16 can be 3~20; Round bar spring 13 is passed in split pin 14 and two semicircle guide pin bushings 11 are installed, the semicircle guide pin bushing 11 that merges pairing is filled in the spiral cover 12 that has fine thread with gap with very little, dome 15 usefulness screws are screwed on the spiral cover 12, and split pin 14 and dome 15 be moving axially of restriction round bar springs 13 jointly; Rotation spiral cover 12 is regulated the position of round bar spring 13; Change the semicircle guide pin bushing 11 and the round bar spring 13 of different-diameter,, make flexible joint have different dynamic characteristics to change the rigidity of round bar spring 13.
Semicircle guide pin bushing 11 shown in accompanying drawing 7,8 is joined work, mark and pairing assembling in twos; To upset in as shown in Figure 9 round bar spring 13 two ends flat, after the boring, heat treatment.
