Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen fluidischen Antrieb zwischen zwei beweglich zueinander angeordneten Bauteilen gemäß dem ersten Patentanspruch.The invention relates to a fluidic drive between two movably arranged components according to the first Claim.
Derartige Antriebe dienen als Antriebe für tranlatorische Bewegungen, aber auch für Schwenk- oder Drehbewegungen überwiegend in den Bereichen der Robotik oder Prothetik. Sie umfassen im Wesentlichen mindestens ein hydraulisches oder pneumatisches Antriebselement, welches zwei beweglich zueinander angeordnete Bauteile überbrückt. Dabei sind die Antriebselemente jeweils über mindestens einem Krafteinleitungsbereich an jedes der beiden Bauteile verbunden. Vorzugsweise besteht das Antriebselement aus einem Hohlkörper mit einer Zu- und Ableitung eines Arbeitsfluids.Such drives serve as drives for translatory movements, but also for pan or rotary movements predominantly in the fields of robotics or prosthetics. They include in Essentially at least one hydraulic or pneumatic Drive element, which two movably arranged to one another Bridging components. The drive elements are each over at least one force application area to each of the two Components connected. Preferably, the drive element consists from a hollow body with an inlet and outlet a working fluid.
In der DE-AS 23 45 856 ist ein fluidischer Antrieb im Rahmen eines Manipulators beschrieben worden, welcher bis auf die faltenbalgähnliche Form der vorigen Beschreibung entspricht. Der Antrieb ist als Druckblase seitlich neben dem Gelenk und zwischen den sich gegenüberstehenden Stirnflächen zweier Bauteile eingesetzt, wobei diese durch ein Aufblähen des Antriebs auseinandergedrückt werden und eine Schwenk- oder Drehbewegung um eine Gelenkachse bewirken. Eine dehnsteife Begrenzerhülle um die Blase begrenzt das Volumen des Aufblähens des Antriebs.In DE-AS 23 45 856 a fluidic drive in the frame a manipulator has been described, which except for the bellows-like Form corresponds to the previous description. Of the Drive is as a pressure bubble laterally next to the joint and between the opposing faces of two components used, this forced apart by a swelling of the drive be and a pan or turn around cause a hinge axis. A stretch-resistant limiter cover the bladder limits the volume of inflation of the drive.
Die Krafteinleitungsbereiche dieses Antriebs erstrecken sich auf die gesamten Stirnflächen. Da keine besonderen Mittel einer Führung des Antriebs vorgesehen sind, ändern sie sich zudem während des Aufblähens des Antriebs. Auch ist der Antrieb so konzipiert, dass ein Aufblähen des Antriebs ungefähr gleichmäßig in allen Richtungen erfolgt. In Folge dessen begrenzt sich nicht nur die übertragbare Kraft, sondern auch der Schwenkwinkel, während andererseits die Dicke des Gelenks mit zunehmender Aufblähung zunimmt. The force introduction areas of this drive extend on the entire faces. Since no special means one Leadership of the drive are provided, they also change during the inflation of the drive. Also, the drive is like that designed that inflates the drive approximately evenly in all directions. As a result, limited not only the transmittable force, but also the tilt angle, while on the other hand, the thickness of the joint with increasing Inflation increases.
Davon ausgehend ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen fluidischen Antrieb mit einem geführten Hohlkörper vorzuschlagen, welcher sich für die Übertragung auch höherer Kräfte in Verbindung mit großen Hüben oder Schwenkwinkeln bereits mit einem geringen Durchsatz an Arbeitsfluid eignet. Vor allem soll der Antrieb in jedem mit Arbeitsfluid gefüllten Zustand eine kompakte Kontur beibehalten und damit sich für einen Einsatz in beengten Verhältnissen besonders eignen.On this basis, it is an object of the invention to provide a fluidic Propose drive with a guided hollow body, which for the transmission of higher forces in connection with big strokes or swivel angles already with a small one Throughput of working fluid is suitable. Above all, the drive should be in each state filled with working fluid a compact contour maintained and thus suitable for use in cramped conditions especially suitable.
Die Aufgabe wird durch einen fluidischen Antrieb mit den kennzeichnenden
Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen
sind in den Unteransprüchen wiedergegeben.The object is achieved by a fluidic drive with the characterizing
Characteristics of
Die wesentlichen Merkmale der Erfindung betreffen den Hohlkörper sowie seine Führung.The essential features of the invention relate to the hollow body as well as his leadership.
Der Hohlkörper ist fluiddicht und zumindest teilweise faltenbalgähnlich geformt und weist neben einer fluiddichten Wandung eine Zu- und Ableitung eines Arbeitsfluids auf. Er weist bei der Einleitung des Arbeitsfluids, d. h. beim vorgenannten Aufblähen, eine vorgegebene Ausdehnungsvorzugsrichtung in eine Richtung, welche durch die faltenbalgähnlichen Ausgestaltung vorbestimmt ist, auf. Ein sich seitlich am Hohlkörper ausdehnendes Blähvolumen wird ebenso wie die erforderlichen Einbaumaße allein durch die genannte Gestaltung bereits drastisch reduziert. Auch wird in besonders vorteilhafter Weise durch die bereits konstruktiv bedingte erhöhte Seifigkeit des Hohlköpers gegenüber seitlicher Auswölbung die für einen bestimmten Hub oder für die Schwenk- oder Drehbewegung erforderliche Arbeitsfluidmenge begrenzt. Da sich die Querschnittsfläche orthogonal zur Hubrichtung nur unwesentlich ändert, lässt sich zudem die Hubkraft mit faltenbalgähnlichen Hohlvolumen zudem erheblich besser und in kleinen Bereichen dosieren. Die Ausdehnung des Hohlkörpers wird über mindestens zwei Krafteinleitungsbereiche auf angrenzende Bauteile übertragen. The hollow body is fluid-tight and at least partially bellows-like shaped and has next to a fluid-tight wall an inlet and outlet of a working fluid. He instructs the introduction of the working fluid, d. H. in the aforementioned puffing, a predetermined expansion preferred direction in a Direction, which by the bellows-like configuration is predetermined. A laterally on the hollow body expands Intumescent volume is just like the required installation dimensions Already drastically reduced by the aforementioned design. Also, in a particularly advantageous manner by the already structurally related increased soapiness of the hollow body opposite lateral bulge for a particular stroke or required for the pivotal or rotary movement amount of working fluid limited. Since the cross-sectional area is orthogonal changes only slightly to the stroke direction, can also the lifting force with bellows-like hollow volume also significantly dosed better and in small areas. The expansion of the hollow body is over at least two force introduction areas transferred to adjacent components.
Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob die Wandung des Hohlkörpers einwandig oder mehrwandig gestaltet ist. Beispielsweise bietet es sich an, eine elastische fluiddichte Innenwandung, beispielsweise aus einem Elastomer (z.B. Gummi) mit einer dehnsteifen Außenwandung, beispielsweise aus einem Gewebemantel zu kombinieren. Für einwandige Ausführungen bieten sich z.B. elastische Materialien an, welche entweder eine ausreichende eigene Steifigkeit aufweisen oder mit zusätzlich eingebundenen Verstärkungen versteift sind.It is irrelevant whether the wall of the hollow body single-walled or multi-walled. For example, it offers on, an elastic fluid-tight inner wall, for example of an elastomer (e.g., rubber) with a stretch-stiffness Outside wall, for example, to combine a fabric coat. For single-walled versions, e.g. elastic Materials which either have sufficient rigidity or with additionally incorporated reinforcements are stiffened.
Die Führung des Hohlkörpers erfolgt im Rahmen der Erfindung überwiegend durch dehnsteife Ringelemente, welche den faltenbalgähnlichen Hohlkörper in jeder einzelnen Faltung umschließen und für den Fall, dass sie nicht in der Wandung integriert sind, durch diese geführt werden. Ferner sind sie auf mindestens einer Seite der faltenbalgähnlichen Hohlkörper über eine dehnsteife Verbindung mit mindestens einem der beiden Krafteinleitungsbereiche verbunden. Insbesondere dann, wenn der Hohlkörper nicht als Schwenkantrieb sondern als translatorischer Antrieb dient, bietet es sich zudem an, mehrere dehnsteife Verbindungen über den Umfang des Hohlkörpers verteilt vorzusehen.The leadership of the hollow body is predominantly within the scope of the invention by stretch-resistant ring elements which the bellows-like Enclose hollow bodies in each individual fold and in the event that they are not integrated in the wall are to be guided by this. Further, they are on at least one side of the bellows-like hollow body over a Dehnsteife connection with at least one of the two force application areas connected. In particular, when the hollow body not as a swivel drive but as a translatory Drive serves, it also offers, more rigid connections Provide distributed over the circumference of the hollow body.
Grundsätzlich umfassen die Ringelemente alle Komponenten, welche zumindest einen Querschnitt dehnsteif umschließen und dabei eine bestimmte Bauhöhe, Materialstärke oder Dicke nicht überschreiten, d.h. beispielsweise auch Bleche, Folien oder Platten mit Durchbrüchen. Auch liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung, wenn diese Ringelemente in der Wandung als dehnsteife Einlagen wie Drähte oder Fäden integriert sind.Basically, the ring elements comprise all components which enclose at least one cross-section stretch-rigid and thereby do not exceed a certain height, material thickness or thickness, i.e. For example, sheets, foils or plates with breakthroughs. It is also within the scope of the invention, if these ring elements in the wall as flexible inserts such as Wires or threads are integrated.
Die dehnsteife Verbindung dient als Führung für die Ringelemente und muss nicht direkt mit den Ringelementen verbunden sein. Es ist völlig ausreichend, wenn die Ringelemente über geeignete Zwischenkomponenten mit der Verbindung gekoppelt sind. Dies ist beispielsweise der Fall, wenn die Verbindung nicht an den Ringelementen direkt sondern an den außen liegenden Bereichen der Faltung, d. h. an der Wandung des Hohlkörpers angreift, während die Ringelemente durch die innen liegenden Wandungsbereiche der Faltungen ausreichende fixiert und geführt sind. Die Ringelemente werden dabei formschlüssig in den Falten, d. h. an den Stellen der relativ geringsten Querschnittsflächen des Faltenbalgs geführt.The stretch-rigid connection serves as a guide for the ring elements and does not have to be connected directly to the ring elements. It is quite sufficient if the ring elements on suitable Intermediate components are coupled to the connection. This is For example, the case when the connection is not on the ring elements directly but on the outer areas of the Folding, d. H. engages the wall of the hollow body while the ring elements through the inner wall portions of the Folds are sufficiently fixed and guided. The ring elements are doing form-fitting in the folds, d. H. to the Make the relatively small cross-sectional areas of the bellows guided.
Dehnsteif heißt in diesem Zusammenhang mit allen genannten Ringelementen, Wandungen oder Verbindungen ein Ausschluss einer unerwünschten Dehnung. Dehnsteif beinhaltet jedoch im Rahmen der Erfindung eine tolerierbare oder gewollte Dehnbarkeit der dehnsteifen Komponenten, beispielsweise zur Verminderung von lokalen Spannungsspitzen oder zur Vermeidung von Beschädigungen im fluidischen Antrieb. Insbesondere sei hier auf die Funktion der genannten dehnsteifen Komponenten verwiesen, welche beispielsweise der Vermeidung seitlicher Auswölbungen des Hohlkörpers einerseits und der Sicherstellung einer geführten und damit eindeutigen Bewegung des Hohlkörpers und damit auch des Antriebselementes dienen.Dehnsteif means in this connection with all mentioned Ring elements, walls or connections an exclusion of a unwanted stretching. However, stretch stiffness is included in the frame the invention a tolerable or intentional extensibility of Dehnsteifen components, for example, to reduce local power surges or to avoid damage in the fluidic drive. In particular, let's look at the function here referred to the said stretch-stiff components, which, for example the avoidance of lateral bulges of the hollow body on the one hand and ensuring a guided and so on clear movement of the hollow body and thus also of the drive element serve.
Die Verbindung der Ringelemente mit einem Krafteinleitungsbereich erfolgt auf einer Seite des Hohlkörpers und begrenzt damit die maximale Entfernung der Ringelemente von den Krafteinleitungsbereichen. Allein durch diese Führung wird ein unkontrolliertes Ausbrechen des Hohlkörpers vermieden, womit sich auch größere Kräfte vom faltenbalgähnlichen Hohlkörper über die Krafteinleitungsbereiche auf die beiden Bauteile übertragen lassen.The connection of the ring elements with a force application area takes place on one side of the hollow body and limits it the maximum removal of the ring elements from the force application areas. Alone through this guidance becomes an uncontrolled Breaking of the hollow body avoided, bringing itself also larger forces from the bellows-like hollow body over the Transfer of force application areas to the two components to let.
Im Falle, dass die dehnsteife Verbindung mit mehr als einem Krafteinleitungsbereich verbunden ist, begrenzt diese auch den maximalen Hub oder Schwenkwinkel des Antriebs. Auf die besondere Führung der Ringelemente bei maximalem Hub bzw. Schwenkwinkel durch die in dieser Stellung straff gespannten Verbindung wird hingewiesen.In the case that the stretch stiff connection with more than one Force introduction area, this also limits the maximum stroke or swivel angle of the drive. On the special Guide the ring elements at maximum lift or swivel angle through the taut connection in this position being point out.
Der faltenbalgähnliche Hohlkörper weist im entleerten Zustand bei dünner Wandung und dünnen Ringelementen eine besonders kurze Bauform auf. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der fluidische Antrieb auch bei beengten Verhältnissen zwischen den Stirnflächen zweier mit einem Gelenk verbundenen Bauteilen, beispielsweise im Rahmen des in DE-AS 23 45 856 offenbarten Manipulators, einsetzen und eignet sich grundsätzlich aufgrund der vorgenannten Führungselemente und der unidirektionalen Ausdehnung des faltenbalgähnlichen Hohlkörpers praktisch für alle möglichen Schwenkwinkel zwischen den beiden Bauteilen.The bellows-like hollow body has in the deflated state with a thin wall and thin ring elements a particularly short Design on. In this way, the fluidic drive can be even in cramped conditions between the faces two connected to a joint components, for example in the context of the disclosed in DE-AS 23 45 856 manipulator use and is basically due to the aforementioned Guide elements and the unidirectional expansion of the bellows-like Hollow body practically for all sorts Swing angle between the two components.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden an Ausführungsformen anhand von
Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigen
Alle Figuren zeigen einen fluidischen Antrieb mit einem Hohlkörper
1 mit mindestens einer Zu- und Ableitung 2 als hydraulisches
oder pneumatisches Antriebselement. Der Hohlkörper ist in
jeder der gezeigten Ausführungsform zumindest teilweise faltenbalgähnlich
gestaltet. Ferner werden die jeweils aus einer Fläche
bestehenden Krafteinleitungsbereiche 3, die Ringelemente 4
in den Faltungen 5 sowie die die dehnsteife Verbindung 6 der
jeweiligen Ausführungsform offenbart.All figures show a fluidic drive with a
Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen Ausführungsformen, bei denen Verbindung 6
und Ringelemente 4 durch Fäden oder Drähte gebildet werden.
Während Ringelemente und Verbindung im Rahmen der ersten Ausführungsform
(Fig. 1) direkt miteinander verbunden sind, beispielsweise
über Verknotung, Verklebung oder durch unter den
Ringelementen hindurch gezogene Verbindungen, ist die Verbindung
6 in der zweiten Ausführungsform (Fig. 2) direkt an den
außen liegenden Bereichen der Faltungen 5 befestigt. Dabei werden
die Ringelemente 4 durch formschlüssig durch die Faltungen
und dadurch indirekt durch die Verbindung 6 geführt. Dabei können
die Faltungen, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt, durch eine zusätzliche
biegeschlaffe aber dehnsteife Armierung 16, die an den
Krafteinleitungsbereichen 3 sowie an den Ringelementen fixiert
ist, gegen unkontrolliertes Aufblähen des Hohlköpers zusätzlich
und lokal (z.B. bei Schwenkantrieben der außenliegende Bereich)
geschützt werden. Die Krafteinleitungsbereiche 3 sind in beiden
Figuren beispielhaft auch für alle anderen Ausführungsformen
als pilz- oder schraubenförmige Halterungen ausgeführt worden,
über die der Hohlkörper übergezogen und fluiddichtend verklebt,
verschraubt, verklemmt oder aufvulkanisiert wird. Dabei bietet
es sich an, den Schaft der Halterung als Zu- oder Ableitung
hohl zu gestalten und außen mit einem Gewinde für eine nicht
dargestellte Kontermutter für eine zusätzliche Einklemmung der
Wandung zwischen Kontermutter und Halterungskopf einerseits oder
zur Befestigung der Halterung an einem Bauteil andererseits
zu versehen. FIGS. 1 and 2 show embodiments in which
Fig. 3 zeigt dagegen eine Ausführungsform, bei der die dehnsteife
Verbindung 6 mindestens eine einseitige Verklebung 8 umfasst,
welche die Ringelemente 4 einseitig umschließt. Dabei
dient die Verklebung lediglich als füllende Verbindung zwischen
dem faltenbalgähnlichen Hohlkörper 1 und einer dehnsteifen Komponente
wie beispielsweise einem Gurt 7. In einer weiteren,
nicht dargestellten Ausführung weist die Verklebung 8 entweder
selbst eine ausreichende Steifigkeit auf, wobei sie grundsätzlich
biegeschlaff, bleibt oder wird durch Einbindung von Verstärkungskomponenten,
wie beispielsweise Fasern, entsprechend
verstärkt.Fig. 3, however, shows an embodiment in which the stretch-
Fig. 4 offenbart eine vierte Ausführungsform mit einer Verbindung
6 in Form von einseitig miteinander vernähten Faltungen,
welche mit dem Krafteinleitungsbereich 3 dehnsteif (z.B. durch
Fäden) verbunden sind. Im Gegensatz zu den vorgenannten Figuren
umfasst die Verbindung neben zusätzliche Komponenten wie Fäden
oder Klebstoff vor allem dehnsteife Wandungbereiche zwischen
den einzelnen vorzugsweise punktförmigen Nähten 14 an den Faltungen.Fig. 4 discloses a fourth embodiment with a

und die Ringelemente durch eine entsprechend konstruktiv
gestaltete dehnsteife Wandung gebildet werden, Die faltenförmige
Gestaltung des Hohlkörpers und damit eine größere Dehnbarkeit
des Hohlkörpers ist nur auf einer Seite (in Fig. 5 die obere)
vorhanden, während der glatte, dem faltenförmigen gegenüber
liegende Bereich durch die dehnsteife Wandung gebildet
wird und damit die der dehnsteifen Verbindung 6 darstellt.Fig. 5 shows a fifth embodiment in which the connection
and the ring elements by a correspondingly constructive
designed to be formed stretch-rigid wall, the fold-shaped
Design of the hollow body and thus a greater elasticity
the hollow body is only on one side (in Fig. 5, the upper)
present, while the smooth, the wrinkled opposite
lying area formed by the stretch-rigid wall

Hohlkörper wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt lassen sich aufgrund des
geringen Durchmessers der Zu- und Ableitung 2 oft nicht mehr
durch einen üblichen einstufigen Vulkanisierungsprozess auf einen
Formkern herstellen. Die Herstellung erfolgt daher beispielsweise
durch ein zweistufiges Formgebungsverfahren, bei
dem in einem ersten Schritt der faltenbalgähnliche Bereich des
Hohlkörpers z.B. aus Elastomer mit einem Vulanisierungsprozess
hergestellt wird, auf dem erst in einem zweiten Schritt der
glatte Bereich aus einem Elastomer ggf. mit einer zusätzlichen
dehnsteifen Verstärkung durch einen zweiten Vulkanisierungsprozess
fluiddicht aufgebracht wird.Hollow body as shown in Fig. 5 can be due to the
small diameter of the inlet and
Bei einer sechsten Ausführungsform, grundsätzlich offenbart in
Fig. 6 a und b, sind dehnsteife Verbindung 6, Ringelemente 4
sowie Befestigung 9 der Verbindung 6 an die Befestigungsbereiche
3 als mindestens eine Führungskomponente 10 aus Folienmaterial
hergestellt. Ein Schnittmuster für eine derartige Führungskomponente
10 zeigt Fig. 6 b. Fig. 6 a zeigt die Applikation
mehrerer dieser Führungskomponenten an einem faltenbalgähnlichen
Hohlkörper 1, wobei in der dargestellten Version jede
Faltung mit einer eigenen Führungskomponente mit dem Krafteinleitungsbereich
verbunden ist. Weitere mögliche Versionen umfassen
auch eine Kopplung von zwei oder mehreren Faltungen untereinander
oder mindestens einer Faltung mit einem oder mehreren
Befestigungsbereichen über jeweils einer Führungskomponente.
Bei einem Einsatz als Schwenkantrieb können die Verbindungen
6 nicht nur, wie in Fig. 6 a gezeigt, auf einer Seite, sondern
zusätzlich auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite vorgesehen
werden.In a sixth embodiment, basically disclosed in
6 a and b, are

verbundene Bauteile 12 wird beispielhaft in Fig. 7 a und b dargestellt.
Die Bauteile 12 weisen jeweils ein Gegenlager 15 für
die Aufnahme der Krafteinleitungsbereiche des Hohlkörpers 1
auf, welche sich in einer Schwenkposition (Fig. 7 a) vorzugsweise
parallel gegenüberstehen und mit dem Einleiten eines Arbeits-fluids
in den Hohlkörper durch diesen auseinandergedrückt
werden. Die Verbindungen sind, wie bereits auch im Rahmen der
fünften Ausführungsform beschrieben, beidseitig am Hohlkörper 1
angebracht, wobei insbesondere die äußere Verbindung 13 nicht
nur ein Ausbrechen des Hohlkörpers vermeidet, sondern auch einen
