In this embodiment, in use, the spring is stretched at the finger joint by the spring drive mechanism, thereby exerting a preload at the proximal joint 12 and distal joint 11 to form a constraint. Then the variable-rigidity soft finger 1 is driven by the driving motor 5, the two joints of the finger are bent to a certain angle under the influence of the pretightening force and then stop moving, and then the pretightening force borne by the two joints of the finger is further increased by further adjusting the pre-stretching length of the springs at the joints, so that different rigidities of the variable-rigidity soft finger 1 under any bending angles are obtained, the variable-rigidity function of the variable-rigidity soft finger is realized, and the bearing performance of the soft manipulator is improved.
The second embodiment is as follows:

The springs at the soft finger joints with variable rigidity are stretched in different lengths, namely different pretightening forces are applied, so that different joint rigidities are obtained, and further different joint bending angles are obtained after the driving motor operates, and the grabbing mode is adjusted.
In this embodiment, when in use, the spring driving mechanisms of the two joints are used for stretching the proximal joint spring 10 and the distal joint spring 9 in different lengths, so that different pretightening forces are applied to the proximal joint 12 and the distal joint 11, and different constraint limits are formed on the joints. When the driving motor 5 is used for driving the rigidity-variable soft finger 1 to bend, the finger proximal joint 12 and the finger distal joint 11 are limited by pretightening force and then present different bending angles, so that the function of adjusting the grabbing mode of the soft manipulator is realized, and finally objects with different shapes and sizes are stably grabbed.

The proximal joint spring is stretched by the proximal joint spring driving mechanism to be in a high-rigidity state, and the distal joint spring is kept in an initial state, so that when the rigidity-variable soft finger is bent, the distal joint is bent to drive the distal knuckle to grasp an object.
In the present embodiment, when in use, the proximal joint spring 10 is first stretched by the proximal joint spring driving mechanism 17 to change the proximal joint 12 into a high-stiffness state, the distal joint spring 9 is not stretched, and the distal joint 11 is kept in a low-stiffness state.

Fifth embodiment:

The present embodiment further defines a dual knuckle grasping mode for the variable stiffness soft manipulator with multiple grasping modes described in the second embodiment. The distal joint spring is stretched by the distal joint spring driving mechanism to be in a high-rigidity state, and the proximal joint spring is kept in an initial state, so that when the rigidity-variable soft finger is bent, the proximal joint bends to drive the distal knuckle and the middle knuckle to grasp an object.
In the present embodiment, when in use, the distal joint spring 9 is first stretched by the distal joint spring driving mechanism 16 to change the distal joint 11 into a high-stiffness state, the proximal joint spring 10 is not stretched, and the proximal joint 12 is kept in a low-stiffness state.

Specific embodiment six:
The description is given with reference to fig. 2 and 7. The present embodiment is further limited to the pinching mode implemented by the variable stiffness soft manipulator with multiple grabbing modes described in the second embodiment. On the basis of the fifth embodiment, the driving cable is further contracted, so that the bending degree of the proximal joint is increased, and the pinching operation of the object is realized.
In the present embodiment, when in use, the distal joint spring 9 is first stretched by the distal joint spring driving mechanism 16 to change the distal joint 11 into a high-stiffness state, the proximal joint spring 10 is not stretched, and the proximal joint 12 is kept in a low-stiffness state. When the length of the spring is adjusted completely, the driving motor 5 drives the driving cable to shrink, so that when the rigidity-variable soft finger 1 moves, the distal joint 11 is not bent, and the proximal joint 12 bends to drive the distal knuckle and the middle knuckle to move. The contraction amount of the finger driving cable is further increased by adjusting the rotation number of the driving motor, so that the pinching operation of the distal knuckle on the object is realized.
Principle of operation
In use, the proximal joint spring 10 is stretched by the proximal joint spring driving mechanism 17, the distal joint spring 9 is stretched by the distal joint spring driving mechanism 16, and the movement of the two joints of the finger is limited by applying a pretightening force to the two joints of the finger, so that the rigidity adjustment is realized. And then the driving motor 5 drives the driving cable to drive the finger, so that the rigidity-variable soft finger 1 is bent and deformed to realize corresponding grabbing action. When the grabbing mode needs to be replaced, the lengths of the proximal joint spring and the distal joint spring can be respectively adjusted, different pretightening forces are applied to the finger joints, so that the finger joints have different rigidities, and the movement of the finger proximal joint 12 and the distal joint 11 at different bending angles can be realized when the finger joints are driven by the driving motor, so that the grabbing mode is adjusted.
