Prosthetic hand based on double-output winding rope driver
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a prosthetic hand based on a double-output winding rope driver.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of economy, robots have also been rapidly developed and widely used in various fields, and robots are the final actuating mechanism for robot work, and the performance of the robots directly determines the working capacity of the robots. Similar to humans, the development of a manipulator having high versatility and dexterity is necessary.
Currently, in the design of robot dexterous hands and medical prosthetic hands, the driving schemes of fingers can be roughly divided into the following ones:
1. a rigid driving scheme formed by combining the motor, the speed reducer and the gears;
2. pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder and the matched energy supply device form a gas-liquid driving scheme;
3. the tendon-like flexible driving scheme adopts a shape memory alloy and a shape memory polymer as a driver, a motor, a speed reducer and a traction rope as the driver, and a pneumatic tendon and a matched air source system as the driver.
However, with the first type of driving scheme, although rotation of the finger in both directions around the joint can be achieved by rotation in the forward and reverse directions of the motor, the entire finger exhibits a rigid characteristic in any state, affected by the driving and the characteristics of the power transmission system itself, which causes damage to the finger-transmitting parts when a large impact load acts on the finger from the outside.
The problem of placement of pneumatic or hydraulic sources for pneumatic and hydraulic drive schemes remains a critical limiting factor in the field of robotic dexterity, and in particular medical prosthetic hands.
For tendon-like flexible driving schemes, two main approaches are currently adopted for achieving bidirectional movement of the finger around the joint. The first is that two drivers are arranged in an antagonistic manner, but the increase in the number of drivers makes it difficult to reduce the overall mass and volume, and the increase in control difficulty makes the control system more complex. The second is a method of combining a single tendon-like driver with a return spring, wherein the tendon-like driver realizes inward bending movement of the finger, and the reverse return movement of the finger is realized by the return spring. But due to the presence of the return spring a part of the output force of the driver will be used to overcome the opposing tension of the spring, resulting in a reduction of the effective force of the driver and further a reduction of the fingertip force.
