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.Also has the bending joint that adopts logical compressed-air actuated rubber wall (but the big round rubber pipe of a kind of axial deformation), 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 action is sensitive inadequately.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this utility model is to overcome above-mentioned weak point, and the utility model flexible joint drives with fluid, and with the stressed power that is expanded to of elastomeric bellow, the angle of bend in joint is relevant with the fluid pressure of elastomeric bellow inner chamber; Overcome the effect of flexible member, arthrogryposis also grasps article, and externally active force increases with the fluid pressure of elastomeric bellow inner chamber; By the effect of flexible member, the joint is replied and is stretched; And can change the flexible member of different rigidity according to instructions for use, obtain different quiet, dynamic property.The variation sensitivity of the distortion fluid pressure of joint ripple shell requires fluid flow little, and is flexibly crooked; It is little to have dutycycle, and power/quality is than little, and little characteristics consume energy; Easily set up simultaneously the relation of flexural deformation angle and fluid pressure, the control model is simple, dynamically the control accuracy height.
Main solution of the present utility model is achieved in that
First kind of scheme is: elastomeric bellow 6 is clamped on the bayonet socket of headstock 3 and tailstock 8 by clip 5, and fluid enters the inner chamber of elastomeric bellow 6 by flexible pipe 11 and angle coupling 12, and angle coupling 12 is spun on the tailstock 8, and there are sealing ring 10 sealings the centre; The two ends of plate hinge 7 are fixed on headstock 3 and the tailstock 8 by hexagon socket head cap screw 4, and spiral draws spring 14 two ends to be hooked in two shackles 13, and two shackles 13 are spun on headstock 3 and the tailstock 8 with suitable length respectively, and use nut check; Finger tip 1 is spun on the headstock 3, and the thickness of adjusting pad 2 is adjusted the rotatable phase of finger tip 1; Equally, spacer shell 9 also is spun on tailstock 8 by adjusting pad 2, and the screw thread of headstock 3 and tailstock 8 is identical.
Second kind of scheme is: without helical spring 14, and pass two shackles 13 with elastic strip 16, and the mode that elastic strip 16 two ends are tightened by locking plate 15 again, all the other structures are with first kind of scheme.
Compared with the prior art the utility model has the following advantages:
It is flexible back bone that the flexible joint of the built-in flexible member of the utility model elastomeric bellow adopts the plate hinge, and elastomeric bellow is subjected to expand as muscular motivation after the fluid pressure action, and the angle of bend in joint is relevant with the fluid pressure of elastomeric bellow inner chamber; Overcome the effect of flexible member, arthrogryposis also grasps article, and externally active force increases with the fluid pressure of elastomeric bellow inner chamber; By the effect of flexible member, the joint is replied and is stretched; And can change the flexible member of different rigidity according to instructions for use, obtain different quiet, dynamic property.The variation sensitivity of the distortion fluid pressure of joint ripple shell requires fluid flow little, and is flexibly crooked; Have dutycycle little (ratio of the fluid space that the elastomeric bellow bending takies when stretching), power/quality is than little, and little characteristics consume energy; Easily set up simultaneously the relation of flexural deformation angle and fluid pressure, the control model is simple, dynamically the control accuracy height.
