Abstract

The utility model relates to a hinge type bi-directional or multi-directional bending flexible joint, which can be used as various joints of robots, mechanical hands, and artificial limbs of the disabled, particularly joints of robots which need multi-directional bend. The utility model belongs to the field of the application technique of robots, mechanical hands, artificial limbs of the disabled, etc. Fluid drives muscle assemblies, generating stressed expansion, and the joint uses the expansion as dynamic force and adopts a cross-shaped universal joint, or a sphere-shaped universal joint, or a plate hinge as a joint frame. When the joint works, the acting force towards outside is increased with the increase of fluid pressure in the muscle cavity of the joint; when the joint is impacted, the joint has a good buffer function. The deformation of the wave shell of the joint is sensitive to the variation of fluid pressure, having the requirements of less fluid flow and flexible bend. The utility model has the characteristics of small duty cycle, lower power/mass ratio, and less energy consumption. The joint has the advantages of more possibility of the establishment of mathematic models, and high precision for dynamic control.

Description

Two-way or the multi-directional bending flexible joint of hinge type
Technical field:
This utility model relates to the two-way or multi-directional bending flexible joint of hinge type, this flexible joint can be used as all kinds of joints of robot, mechanical hand and people with disability'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, mechanical hand and people with disability's artificial limb.
Background technology:
Before this 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 expanded radially 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.
The utility model content:
The purpose of this utility model is to overcome above-mentioned weak point, and it is joint skeleton that this utility model bending joint adopts universal joint or plate hinge, 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 variation sensitivity of the distortion fluid pressure of ripple shell requires fluid flow little, and it is little to consume energy, arthrogryposis flexible movements simultaneously, dynamically 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 plate hinge 9 are clamped in the guiding square groove 14 of the headstock 1 of two fluid drives muscle assemblies and tailstock 4 by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 location, have constituted the compound bending flexible joint by two fluid drives muscle assemblies and plate hinge 9 shapes like this.After a plurality of fluid drives muscle assemblies are located through guide pad 10 by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 respectively, be fixed on the regular polygon base 12 at two ends; Universal joint 13 (cross or universal ball joint, drawn in this utility model accompanying drawing is the cross universal joint) two ends fastening by nut and regular polygon base 12, and the axle journal 11 at universal joint 13 two ends is a matched in clearance with cooperating of regular polygon base 12 interstitial holes.
The flexible joint of two-way or multi-directional bending is by two or more fluid drives muscle assemblies; Its main distinction is that the hinge skeleton of the flexible joint of compound bending is a plate hinge 9, and the hinge skeleton of the flexible joint of multi-directional bending is a universal joint 13.
Compared with the prior art this utility model has the following advantages:
It is joint skeleton that this utility model flexible joint two-way or multi-directional bending adopts universal joint 13 or plate hinge 9, and ripple shell 3 is subjected to expand as muscular motivation after the fluid pressure action.During work, externally active force increases with the fluid pressure in each articular muscle cavity; When being hit, cushioning effect preferably.This 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.Easily set up mathematical model, dynamic control accuracy height, arthrogryposis is flexible.

The specific embodiment:
Embodiment during following this utility model is incited somebody to action in conjunction with the accompanying drawings is further described:
This 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, plate hinge 9, guide pad 10, axle journal 11, regular polygon base 12, universal joint 13, guiding square groove 14 etc.
The single-unit vertical sectional shape of ripple shell 3 of the present utility model is rubber bellows such as " V ", " U ", " Ω "; Universal joint 13 is cross universal joint or universal ball joint (only having represented the cross universal joint in this utility model accompanying drawing 1,2,3), and the hinge number in the universal joint 13 can be 1~40 pair; The limit number of regular polygon base 12 equals the number of fluid drives muscle assembly, and the limit number of regular polygon base 12 can be 3~20.
Fluid drives muscle assembly shown in accompanying drawing 6,7: 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 4,5: the two ends of plate hinge 9 are clamped in the guiding square groove 14 identical on two fluid drives muscle assembly headstocks 1 and the tailstock 4 by hexagon socket head cap screw 8 location.
