JPH073106U - Artificial muscle fiber (fast muscle) - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] The present invention is an artificial muscle fiber that uses electromagnetic force (electricity →
Kinetic energy converter). [Construction] The present invention has a structure in which a basic unit is an electromagnet consisting of a coil, a core, and a pipe, and a plurality of sets of these are connected by a spring material.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is a mechanism that uses attractive force or repulsive force of electromagnetic action to convert force into energy without using a motor or a pump.

 In the case of converting a force from an electric force into energy with a conventional manipulator, for example, a motor is basically operated, and a physical motion is obtained via gears, a belt, a pump, or the like. These methods lead to stagnation due to movement due to loss between different media, and to noise and heat. In addition, it was often difficult to downsize due to mechanical restrictions.

 The present invention has the principle of simulating the fast muscles of the human body, obtaining motion energy directly from electrical energy, and making it thin into fibers depending on the processing accuracy. This allows the fibers to be bundled to obtain a supple, quick, and powerful force. In particular, since it is possible to easily move in an oblique direction, which was not possible with a hydraulic pump system or the like, it is possible to omit the combination control of the rotating mechanism and the telescopic mechanism, which was required in the past, in the spiral motion.

 [I] The basic unit is << 1. Coil >> << 2. Core >>, << 3. An electromagnet consisting of pipes, each core and pipe being fixed << 4. Connect multiple springs to connect them together.

 Consider each electromagnet in an odd set and an even set.

 [II] If currents are applied so that the magnet poles are aligned in the odd and even pairs, the whole will shrink.

 [III] If the current is passed so that the poles of the odd-numbered group and the poles of the even-numbered group are different, the whole length is extended.

 According to the present invention, muscular movement can be obtained based on the above principle.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] 1. [i] A plurality of electromagnets around which a coil is wound are arranged. At this time, the principle is the same whether the coil is wound around the pipe or fixed in a pipe shape. (The latter also
Hereinafter, simply referred to as a pipe.) [Ii] A magnetic core is passed through each pipe and connected with a non-magnetic spring material. [Iii] Each coil is divided into an odd number group and an even number group, and a current is supplied. With the above mechanism, the entire length expands and contracts like a muscle according to the attractive / repulsive force of the electromagnetic force, and has a fast response "electricity → kinetic energy conversion device"
