Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of memory alloy wire driving, in particular to a small steel ball movable tooth driver based on a shape memory alloy wire.
Background
Shape memory alloy has been widely used as a driving source in the fields of robot driving and the like as an intelligent material. At present, the shape memory alloy wire is mainly driven by embedding the memory alloy wire into a robot body, and generating a power source through deformation of the shape memory alloy wire, so that the robot is pulled to realize target movement. Although this working mode is advantageous for reducing the volume of the robot, when the structural or partial parameters of the robot are changed, the shape memory alloy wires embedded therein need to be replaced together, which results in poor versatility of the arrangement mode. In addition, the output force and displacement are limited by simply generating a power source through the deformation of the shape memory alloy wire. Therefore, a shape memory alloy wire driver with strong universality and capability of outputting larger force and displacement is developed.
