Description
技术领域Technical Field
本发明涉及机器人技术领域,尤其是涉及一种多模式欠驱动的环境自适应末端执行器及机器人。The present invention relates to the field of robotics technology, and in particular to a multi-mode under-actuated environment-adaptive end effector and a robot.
背景技术Background Art
近年来,随着机器人及其相关技术的发展,抓取装置被越来越多地应用到农业、服务业、生物医疗等行业,对抓取装置的设计和研究也逐渐增加。而当今的抓取装置主要分为刚性抓取装置和柔性抓取装置,并以主动控制为主,对兼备多模式抓取控制的末端执行器研究较少,且均未能实现超快速的抓取效果,且现有抓取装置多着重研究抓取效果。In recent years, with the development of robots and related technologies, gripping devices have been increasingly applied to agriculture, service industry, biomedicine and other industries, and the design and research of gripping devices have also gradually increased. However, today's gripping devices are mainly divided into rigid gripping devices and flexible gripping devices, and are mainly based on active control. There are few studies on end effectors with multi-mode gripping control, and none of them have achieved ultra-fast gripping effects. In addition, existing gripping devices mostly focus on gripping effects.
在国内,东北大学的团队采用牵引机构设计了一款欠驱动的用于货物输送及辅助搬运的夹爪,利用滑块摇杆机构、杆件配合实现的单电机欠驱动,在抓取时各指节依次收缩,能更好更全面的覆盖抓取物件,具有较高的灵活性;上海工程技术大学的团队仿照鸟类臂爪的生理形态,设计了一款欠驱动抓握机械臂机构,采用弹簧、滑块、滑槽作为欠驱动辅助装置及快速释放装置;南京航空航天大学的团队设计了一款空间末端执行机构自适应手指,采用拉簧和连杆,实现手指对手内物体的自适应功能;在国外,奥克兰大学的F.M.Naser等人利用扭簧势能及拉绳,设计了一种具备欠驱动、二稳态超快速空中抓取和自适应机械手;科罗拉多州立大学的张海杰等人,采用柔性机构设计,并结合奇点原理,设计了一款被动触发的二稳态自适应抓取装置,并将其运用于无人机的抓取之中;这些研究成果利用欠驱动机构对抓取物体实现自适应,也存在能实现二稳态快速抓取的设计,但却未能同时对内部、外部环境进行自适应,且未能同时具备主动、被动抓取控制,也未能在二稳态快速抓取的情况下实现主动控制、被动触发的两种状态。In China, the team of Northeastern University used a traction mechanism to design an under-actuated gripper for cargo transportation and auxiliary handling. The single-motor under-actuation was achieved by using a slider rocker mechanism and rods. When grasping, each knuckle contracts in turn, which can better and more comprehensively cover the grasped object and has high flexibility. The team of Shanghai University of Engineering Science imitated the physiological morphology of bird arms and claws to design an under-actuated grasping robot arm mechanism, using springs, sliders, and slides as under-actuated auxiliary devices and quick release devices. The team of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics designed an adaptive finger of a space end-effector, using tension springs and connecting rods to achieve the adaptive function of the finger to the object in the hand. Abroad, the University of Auckland F.M.Naser et al. used the potential energy of torsion springs and pull ropes to design an under-actuated, bi-stable ultra-fast aerial grasping and adaptive manipulator; Zhang Haijie et al. from Colorado State University used flexible mechanism design and combined with the singularity principle to design a passively triggered bi-stable adaptive grasping device, and applied it to the grasping of drones; these research results use under-actuated mechanisms to achieve adaption of grasped objects, and there are also designs that can achieve bi-stable rapid grasping, but they fail to adapt to the internal and external environments at the same time, fail to have active and passive grasping control at the same time, and fail to achieve both active control and passive triggering in the case of bi-stable rapid grasping.
以下为现有技术中已有的的三种抓取装置的结构:The following are the structures of three existing grabbing devices in the prior art:
一、现有市面上用于抓取作业的夹爪多为采用丝杆螺母的结构,丝杆螺母机构主要组成部分包括丝杆、丝杆螺母座、平衡系统、连杆装置和控制系统。丝杆是机构的旋转装置,用于传递电机的旋转运动;丝杆螺母座与丝杆通过螺纹咬合,将丝杆的旋转运动转化为丝杆螺母座自身的直线运动;平衡系统为维持丝杆螺母座保持水平的装置,多为在丝杆螺母座两侧安装两根光杆;连杆装置用于将丝杆螺母座的直线运动传递到夹爪上,控制夹爪的开合,控制系统是机构的核心系统。1. Most of the grippers currently used in the market for grasping operations adopt a screw-nut structure. The main components of the screw-nut mechanism include a screw, a screw-nut seat, a balancing system, a connecting rod device, and a control system. The screw is the rotating device of the mechanism, which is used to transmit the rotational motion of the motor; the screw-nut seat and the screw are engaged with each other through threads, converting the rotational motion of the screw into the linear motion of the screw-nut seat itself; the balancing system is a device to maintain the horizontality of the screw-nut seat, which is usually two light rods installed on both sides of the screw-nut seat; the connecting rod device is used to transmit the linear motion of the screw-nut seat to the gripper and control the opening and closing of the gripper. The control system is the core system of the mechanism.
丝杆螺母机构通常用于夹爪的主动开合控制,如当需要夹持物体时,控制系统的电机逆时针转动,使丝杆螺母座往后移动,带动连杆定轴转动,使夹爪闭合,当需要松开物体时,控制系统的电机顺时针转动,使丝杆螺母座往前移动,带动连杆定轴反方向运动,使夹爪打开。该种装置的夹爪仅能进行主动抓取控制,并且控制较为复杂。The screw-nut mechanism is usually used for active opening and closing control of the clamping jaws. For example, when it is necessary to clamp an object, the motor of the control system rotates counterclockwise, causing the screw-nut seat to move backward, driving the connecting rod fixed axis to rotate, and closing the clamping jaws. When it is necessary to release the object, the motor of the control system rotates clockwise, causing the screw-nut seat to move forward, driving the connecting rod fixed axis to move in the opposite direction, and opening the clamping jaws. The clamping jaws of this device can only perform active grasping control, and the control is relatively complex.
但此结构有以下缺点:But this structure has the following disadvantages:
1.由于丝杆螺母座的结构决定了丝杆必须与电机固连,丝杆螺母座必须与丝杆通过螺纹稳定咬合,因此该种装置只能进行主动控制。1. Since the structure of the screw nut seat determines that the screw must be fixedly connected to the motor, and the screw nut seat must be stably engaged with the screw through the thread, this type of device can only be actively controlled.
2.丝杆与丝杆螺母座的螺纹咬合连接使其移动时具有较大的噪声。2. The threaded engagement between the screw and the screw nut seat causes a lot of noise when it moves.
3.该种机构的控制速度由丝杆的牙距决定,导致夹爪的开合速度较慢,3. The control speed of this mechanism is determined by the pitch of the screw rod, which results in a slow opening and closing speed of the clamping jaws.
无法实现快速抓取或抓取移动中的物体。It is not possible to quickly grasp or grasp moving objects.
二、当前市面上已有自适应手指、自适应夹爪多采用柔性材料设计,并通过增加手指或夹爪的关节数,使手指或夹爪对抓取物体实现近似的完全包裹,以实现自适应的抓取。该种抓取装置广泛应用于如柔性物体的抓取、果园采摘等工况,能有效确保抓取物体的完整性。Second, the adaptive fingers and adaptive grippers currently available on the market are mostly designed with flexible materials, and by increasing the number of joints of the fingers or grippers, the fingers or grippers can almost completely wrap the grasped object to achieve adaptive grasping. This type of grasping device is widely used in working conditions such as grasping flexible objects and picking in orchards, and can effectively ensure the integrity of the grasped object.
但此结构有以下缺点:But this structure has the following disadvantages:
1.该种设计通过增加关节数,以使手指或夹爪使用不同的抓取物体的外形,导致其负载较低,无法抓取重量较大的物体。1. This design increases the number of joints so that the fingers or grippers use different shapes to grasp objects, resulting in a lower load and inability to grasp heavier objects.
2.该种设计仅针对于抓取的物体进行自适应,对存在障碍的外界环境无法适应,即无法在有阻挡的环境下进行有效抓取。2. This design is only adaptive to the grasped object, and cannot adapt to the external environment with obstacles, that is, it cannot effectively grasp in an obstructed environment.
三、二稳态快速触发装置,主要利用柔性、刚性材料变形、通过使材料变形,使材料自身的形变能量维持在一个临界点,维持在一个稳态,而在外部再提供一个大于某一个数值的力,将会打破临界点破坏当前维持的稳态,使材料自身存储的能量全部释放,突变至另一个材料无变形的稳态。该种技术在生活之中的应用有如捕鼠夹、卷尺、发夹等,而在夹爪中运用该装置可以实现对物体的超快速抓取。3. The two-stable fast trigger device mainly utilizes the deformation of flexible and rigid materials. By deforming the material, the deformation energy of the material itself is maintained at a critical point and a stable state. When a force greater than a certain value is provided externally, the critical point will be broken and the current stable state will be destroyed, so that the energy stored in the material itself is fully released and the material suddenly changes to another stable state without deformation. This technology is used in daily life such as mousetraps, tape measures, hairpins, etc., and the use of this device in the gripper can achieve ultra-fast grasping of objects.
但此结构有以下缺点:But this structure has the following disadvantages:
1.利用被动触发设计的二稳态装置,只要外部基于的力超过触发值,就会马上激活从一个稳态转换为另一个稳态,无法对外部环境做出适应。1. A bi-stable device using a passive trigger design will immediately activate the transition from one steady state to another as long as the external force exceeds the trigger value, and cannot adapt to the external environment.
2.该种二稳态触发装置无法对触发力进行调控,当需要抓取比较大的物体时,可能就已经被干扰的小物体所触发。2. This bi-stable trigger device cannot regulate the trigger force. When it is necessary to grasp a relatively large object, it may be triggered by a small interfering object.
3.利用材料变形所设计的二稳态装置,其稳态变化的速度与所采用的材料自身息息相关,在完成设计后无法再根据实际工况进行修改。3. For a bi-stable device designed using material deformation, the speed of its steady-state change is closely related to the material itself used, and after the design is completed, it cannot be modified according to actual working conditions.
因此现有技术中抓取装置无法做到在抓取目标物体时同时实现快速及强稳定性的抓取。Therefore, the grasping device in the prior art cannot grasp the target object quickly and with high stability at the same time.

在抓取运动物体时,采用二稳态快速触发的抓取方式,能够极大程度地提升对移动物体的抓取成功率;在需要快速抓取静态物体时,采用二稳态快速触发的抓取方式也能大幅减少抓取的时间,而采用主动控制抓取则能大幅提升抓取的成功率及稳定性。随着时间的发展,机器人将全面进入服务、医疗、军事等领域,其工作对象、环境也将不断变化,提升机器人的工作效率其更为人们所看重,因此具有多种工作模式的抓取装置的技术将在未来具有极其广阔的发展前景,甚至直接推动人类社会的进步与发展。When grasping moving objects, the use of a two-stable fast-trigger grasping method can greatly improve the grasping success rate of moving objects; when it is necessary to quickly grasp static objects, the use of a two-stable fast-trigger grasping method can also greatly reduce the grasping time, and the use of active control grasping can greatly improve the grasping success rate and stability. With the development of time, robots will fully enter the fields of service, medical care, military, etc., and their working objects and environments will continue to change. Improving the work efficiency of robots will be more valued by people. Therefore, the technology of grasping devices with multiple working modes will have extremely broad development prospects in the future, and even directly promote the progress and development of human society.
因此,研究出一种同时具备主动抓取模式、主动触发二稳态抓取、被动触发二稳态抓取、并且能够同时自适应外部环境及内部环境的多功能抓取装置,具有重要的研究价值和实际意义。Therefore, it is of great research value and practical significance to develop a multifunctional grasping device that has active grasping mode, actively triggered bi-stable grasping, passively triggered bi-stable grasping, and can adapt to both external and internal environments at the same time.

具体地,本实施例中的多模式欠驱动的环境自适应末端执行器及机器人,包括外壳1、欠驱动连杆模块2、多模式切换模块3、直线移动模块4、二稳态能量转换模块5及末端连接模块6,具体地,欠驱动连杆模块2设置在外壳1内侧,呈左右对称方式设置,多模式切换模块3设置在欠驱动连杆模块2后端,直线移动模块4设置在多模式切换模块3上、下、左、右四侧,呈左右对称设置,二稳态能量转换模块5设置在直线移动模块4左、右两侧,末端连接模块6设置在多模式切换模块3后侧。Specifically, the multi-mode under-actuated environmentally adaptive end effector and robot in this embodiment include a shell 1, an under-actuated connecting rod module 2, a multi-mode switching module 3, a linear motion module 4, a bi-stable energy conversion module 5 and an end connection module 6. Specifically, the under-actuated connecting rod module 2 is arranged on the inner side of the shell 1 in a left-right symmetrical manner, the multi-mode switching module 3 is arranged at the rear end of the under-actuated connecting rod module 2, the linear motion module 4 is arranged on the upper, lower, left and right sides of the multi-mode switching module 3 in a left-right symmetrical arrangement, the bi-stable energy conversion module 5 is arranged on the left and right sides of the linear motion module 4, and the end connection module 6 is arranged on the rear side of the multi-mode switching module 3.
在一些实施例中,单侧的第一欠驱动连杆单元201或第二欠驱动连杆单元202的开合角度范围为0-45度,总的开合角度为0-90度,但是因为欠驱动连杆单元的设置,使两个指尖25始终保持平行状态,两个指尖25与地面之间的夹角始终为90度不会改变,除非遇到外力需要进行自适应的情况下才会改变。开合范围的限制在这个范围内能够适应当前人手抓取的绝大部分情况,在体积不大的情况下具备良好的通用性,本实施例中,整个末端执行器指尖25的开合范围限制在0-140mm,欠驱动连杆模块2中各连杆间的转轴连接需要设置平面轴承292及深沟球轴承294,保证其每个连杆旋转的低摩擦及顺滑性。多模式切换模块3用于切换主动控制抓取、主动触发二稳态抓取、被动触发二稳态抓取三种模式,必须保证每一种模式的工作稳定性。直线移动模块4用于维持多模式切换模块3中的移动块相对于上下表面、左右平面的平衡性,保证移动块仅能沿着直线方向移动,因此需要采用能够维持直线运动的设计方案,并保证其低摩擦力的润滑性;二稳态能量转换模块5需要确保在完成设计后能够根据需求改变两种稳态变化的速率,并且方便调节,因此采用简单的更换设计;外壳1需要维持末端执行器内部物件的稳定性,并且需要引导连杆的运动轨迹,在外壳1设计上需要采用高强度的材料,并且镂空出用于引导欠驱动连杆模块2的轨道;末端连接模块6用于连接机械臂,需要采用方便更换的模块化设计。In some embodiments, the opening and closing angle range of the first underactuated link unit 201 or the second underactuated link unit 202 on one side is 0-45 degrees, and the total opening and closing angle is 0-90 degrees. However, due to the setting of the underactuated link unit, the two fingertips 25 are always kept in a parallel state, and the angle between the two fingertips 25 and the ground is always 90 degrees and will not change unless it encounters external force and needs to be self-adapted. The limitation of the opening and closing range within this range can adapt to most of the current situations of human hand grasping, and has good versatility in the case of small size. In this embodiment, the opening and closing range of the entire end effector fingertip 25 is limited to 0-140mm. The shaft connection between each link in the underactuated link module 2 needs to be provided with a plane bearing 292 and a deep groove ball bearing 294 to ensure the low friction and smoothness of the rotation of each link. The multi-mode switching module 3 is used to switch the three modes of active control grasping, active triggering two-stable grasping, and passive triggering two-stable grasping, and the working stability of each mode must be guaranteed. The linear moving module 4 is used to maintain the balance of the moving block in the multi-mode switching module 3 relative to the upper and lower surfaces and the left and right planes, and to ensure that the moving block can only move in a straight line direction. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt a design scheme that can maintain linear motion and ensure its low-friction lubricity; the two-state energy conversion module 5 needs to ensure that the rates of change of the two steady states can be changed according to needs after the design is completed, and it is convenient to adjust, so a simple replacement design is adopted; the outer shell 1 needs to maintain the stability of the internal objects of the end effector, and needs to guide the movement trajectory of the connecting rod. The outer shell 1 needs to use high-strength materials in the design, and hollow out a track for guiding the under-driven connecting rod module 2; the end connection module 6 is used to connect the robotic arm, and a modular design that is easy to replace is required.
多模式欠驱动的环境自适应末端执行器应具备小型化、紧密结合的特点,即将多种功能通过同一种元件来实现,如将主动控制抓取、主动触发二稳态抓取、被动触发二稳态抓取三种模式的核心维持元件设置为两个电磁铁,使用总的空间最小化,零件数量最小化,降低机构整体的质量,提升机构的集成化程度。The multi-mode under-actuated environmentally adaptive end effector should be miniaturized and tightly integrated, that is, multiple functions can be realized by the same component. For example, the core maintaining components of the three modes of active control grasping, active triggered bi-stable grasping, and passive triggered bi-stable grasping are set to two electromagnets, so as to minimize the total space used, minimize the number of parts, reduce the overall quality of the mechanism, and improve the degree of integration of the mechanism.
欠驱动连杆设计方案:Underactuated connecting rod design:
欠驱动连杆设计方案可以实现对外界环境及抓取物体的被动适应,使得在抓取物体时对外界环境的需求降低,提升各种复杂环境下抓取物体的成功率。因此,为了解决在复杂环境下抓取物体容易失败的问题,本末端执行器采用了欠驱动连杆设计,采用拉簧26和扭转弹簧293,维持两处连杆的欠驱动工作状态,大幅提升对抓取环境及抓取物体的被动适应能力。The underactuated connecting rod design can achieve passive adaptation to the external environment and the grasped object, which reduces the demand for the external environment when grasping objects and improves the success rate of grasping objects in various complex environments. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of easy failure in grasping objects in complex environments, the end effector adopts an underactuated connecting rod design, using tension spring 26 and torsion spring 293 to maintain the underactuated working state of the two connecting rods, greatly improving the passive adaptability to the grasping environment and grasping objects.
一般全驱动的连杆夹爪,两个夹爪仅能按照固定的轨迹运动,遇到紧贴在阶梯处、或放置在细缝中的物体会无法抓取,而本发明实施例采用的欠驱动连杆的设计方案,能够实现两个夹爪根据抓取环境的不同按照不同的轨迹运动,被动适应抓取环境,在小型化的基础上远优于全驱动的连杆夹爪,大幅提升抓取的成功率。In general, the two jaws of a fully-driven connecting rod gripper can only move along a fixed trajectory, and will not be able to grasp objects that are close to a step or placed in a narrow gap. However, the under-driven connecting rod design adopted in the embodiment of the present invention can enable the two jaws to move along different trajectories according to different grasping environments, passively adapting to the grasping environment. It is far superior to the fully-driven connecting rod gripper on the basis of miniaturization, and greatly improves the success rate of grasping.
多模式抓取集成设计方案:Multi-mode crawling integrated design solution:
多模式抓取集成设计方案,包括主动控制抓取、主动触发二稳态抓取、被动触发二稳态抓取三种模式。如果需要稳定抓取物体,对抓取速率要求不高的情况下,可以采用主动控制抓取模式;如果需要极快速抓取静态物体,可以采用主动出触发二稳态抓取模式,采用稳态转变来进行快速抓取;如果需要抓取运动中的物体,可以采用被动出发二稳态模式,只要运动物体触碰到抓取膜,本发明将进行稳态转化快速闭合完成抓取任务。该三种模式的集成使本发明适用于更多中抓取需求,通用性远高于仅具备一种模式的夹爪,并且在集成三种模式的同时本发明也维持了装置的紧凑性及小型化成都。The multi-mode grasping integrated design scheme includes three modes: active control grasping, active triggering bi-stable grasping, and passive triggering bi-stable grasping. If you need to grasp the object stably and the grasping rate is not high, you can use the active control grasping mode; if you need to grasp a static object very quickly, you can use the active triggering bi-stable grasping mode, and use steady-state transition for fast grasping; if you need to grasp a moving object, you can use the passive triggering bi-stable mode. As long as the moving object touches the grasping membrane, the present invention will perform steady-state transformation and close quickly to complete the grasping task. The integration of these three modes makes the present invention suitable for more grasping needs, and its versatility is much higher than that of a gripper with only one mode. In addition, while integrating the three modes, the present invention also maintains the compactness and miniaturization of the device.
本实施例中欠驱动连杆模块2、多模式切换模块3、直线移动模块4、二稳态能量转换模块5设置于上壳体11与下壳体12之间,各个涉及方案对应的模块的结构具体如下:In this embodiment, the underactuated connecting rod module 2, the multi-mode switching module 3, the linear movement module 4, and the bi-stable energy conversion module 5 are arranged between the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12.

The underactuated link module 2 is used to grasp the target object by bringing the first end of the first underactuated link unit 201 and the first end of the second underactuated link unit 202 closer together. The second end of the first underactuated link unit 201 and the second end of the second underactuated link unit 202 are connected to the moving unit 33. The first end of the first underactuated link unit 201 and the first end of the second underactuated link unit 202 are controlled to move away from and approach each other by moving the moving unit 33 forward and backward. The first underactuated link unit 201 and the second underactuated link unit 202 are symmetrically arranged. Each under-actuated connecting rod device includes: first to fifth connecting parts, a tension spring fixed column 28, a triangular plate 27, an external threaded bearing 291, a plane bearing 292, a tension spring 26, a fingertip 25 for clamping a target object, and a silicone mold 251. The first to fifth connecting parts in this embodiment are the first connecting rod 21, the second connecting rod 22, the third connecting rod 23, the fourth connecting rod 24, and two triangular plates 27 arranged in parallel. The first end of the third connecting rod 23 is fixedly connected to the fingertip 25, and the fingertip 25 is fixed to the third connecting rod 23 by threads. The silicone mold 251 is fixed to the front of the fingertip 25 by bonding. The second end of the third connecting rod 23 is pivotally connected to the first end of the second connecting rod 22 and the The first end of the fourth link 24 and the second end of the second link 22 are hingedly connected to the first end of the first link 21, and a torsion spring 293 is arranged between the second end of the second link 22 and the first end of the first link 21, the second end of the fourth link 24 is hingedly connected to the first end of the two triangular plates 27, a tension spring 26 is arranged between the fourth link 24 and the two triangular plates 27, and a tension spring fixing column 28 is connected to the two triangular plates 27 by threads and is arranged in the middle of the two triangular plates 27. When the opening and closing angles of the fourth link 24 and the two triangular plates 27 change, the tension spring 26 is deformed accordingly, and the second end of the first link 21 and the second end of the two triangular plates 27 are deformed from the inside to the outside according to the second end of the first link 21 and the second end of the two triangular plates 27. The first corner of the two triangular plates 27 is pivotally connected to the second end of the fourth connecting part (the fourth connecting rod 24 is connected to the leftmost connecting hole of the two triangular plates 27 through a hinge shaft), the second corner of the fifth connecting part is pivotally connected to the moving unit 33, the third corner of the two triangular plates 27 and the first connecting rod 21 are provided with external threaded bearings 291 (the external threaded bearings 291 are fixed to the bottommost circular holes of the two triangular plates 27 and the front and back centers of the first connecting rod 21 through threads), at least one of the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 is provided with a through groove, and the external threaded bearings 291 are slidably arranged on the through groove. In this embodiment, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are both provided with through grooves. The arrangement form of all connecting rod rotating shafts is plane bearing 292-deep groove ball bearing 294-deep groove ball bearing 294-plane bearing 292, and only the second end of the first connecting rod 21, that is, the lower rotating shaft, has a torsion spring 293 embedded outside the deep groove ball bearing 294.
如上所述,该种欠驱动连杆设计方案用拉簧26及扭转弹簧293维持欠驱动工作状态,拉簧26及扭转弹簧293具备受到外力变形、不受外力后复位的特点,这也就对应了遇到阻碍环境或与抓取物体接触时,通过拉簧26及扭转弹簧293变形来实现适应,离开阻碍环境及抓取完成后,通过拉簧26及扭转弹簧293复位来维持夹爪抓取的稳定性。并且每两个连杆连接的转轴处采用了平面轴承292及深沟球轴承294,极大程度降低了连杆运动的摩擦力,使连杆的相对运动更加丝滑。而连杆整体未受外力时设置为四边形状态,第一连杆21和第二连杆22呈现平行,具备稳定性,而当受到外力时,第一连杆21和第二连杆22之间将发生相对转动,形成一个夹角,为五边形状态,以平衡内外部所受到的力。该设计方案能够使欠驱动连杆装置收到垂直方向及水平方向的力的时候,进行被动适应,有利于抓取工作的进行。三角板27上固定的外螺纹轴承291,用于与外壳1上的通槽19(镂空的轨道)接触,引导欠驱动连杆的运动轨迹。As described above, this under-actuated connecting rod design uses tension spring 26 and torsion spring 293 to maintain the under-actuated working state. The tension spring 26 and torsion spring 293 have the characteristics of being deformed by external force and reset after being free of external force. This corresponds to the deformation of the tension spring 26 and torsion spring 293 to achieve adaptation when encountering an obstructing environment or contacting with the grasping object. After leaving the obstructing environment and completing the grasping, the tension spring 26 and torsion spring 293 are reset to maintain the stability of the gripping of the clamp. In addition, a plane bearing 292 and a deep groove ball bearing 294 are used at the rotating shaft connecting each two connecting rods, which greatly reduces the friction of the connecting rod movement and makes the relative movement of the connecting rod smoother. When the connecting rod is not subjected to external force as a whole, it is set to a quadrilateral state, the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 are parallel and have stability, and when subjected to external force, the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 will rotate relative to each other, forming an angle, which is a pentagonal state, to balance the forces received inside and outside. This design enables the underactuated connecting rod device to passively adapt when receiving vertical and horizontal forces, which is beneficial to the grasping work. The external threaded bearing 291 fixed on the triangular plate 27 is used to contact the through groove 19 (hollow track) on the housing 1 to guide the movement trajectory of the underactuated connecting rod.

The telescopic unit is fixed on the housing 1 and includes a cylinder body 311 and a cylinder plunger 312. The cylinder plunger 312 can be telescopic relative to the cylinder body 311. The magnet unit includes a first electromagnet 321 and a second electromagnet 322. The first electromagnet 321 is sleeved with a front electromagnet mounting member 36 and is fixed to the housing 1. The moving unit 33 is arranged between the first electromagnet 321 and the telescopic unit. The second electromagnet 322 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the cylinder plunger 312. The moving unit 33 is mounted with a first magnetic object on one side relative to the first electromagnet 321 and a second magnetic object on the other side relative to the second electromagnet. A second magnetic object is installed on one side of 322. In this embodiment, the first magnetic object is the first iron sheet 341, and the second magnetic object is the second iron sheet 342; the second electromagnet 322 includes a first electromagnet block 3221 and a second electromagnet block 3222, and the telescopic unit includes two cylinder plungers 312. The first electromagnet block 3221 and the second electromagnet block 3222, the rear electromagnet mounting component 35, and the special head stud 313 are all rear electromagnet assembly parts. The first electromagnet block 3221 and the second electromagnet block 3222 are installed on the front end of the two cylinder plungers 312 through the special head stud 313, and are covered with the rear electromagnet mounting component 35, wherein the special head stud 313 is an M3-M5 special head stud.
如图所示,第一铁片341和第二铁片342安装在移动单元33的前侧和后侧,第一电磁铁321安装在第一铁片341前侧,后侧电磁铁装配件安装在气缸的两根气缸柱塞312上,其中的安装方式为:将气缸原先安装在气缸柱塞312上的推板拆卸,通过异头螺柱313(M3-M5异头螺柱),将第一电磁铁块3221、第二电磁铁块3222与气缸柱塞312相连接。这种设计将气缸改造利用,使气缸的推杆具备了可调控的磁力,并且通过异头螺柱313连接不同的两个螺纹孔,极大程度节省了安装空间及装配零部件,更符合小型化的设计理念。As shown in the figure, the first iron sheet 341 and the second iron sheet 342 are installed on the front and rear sides of the mobile unit 33, the first electromagnet 321 is installed on the front side of the first iron sheet 341, and the rear electromagnet assembly is installed on the two cylinder plungers 312 of the cylinder, wherein the installation method is: the push plate originally installed on the cylinder plunger 312 is disassembled, and the first electromagnet block 3221 and the second electromagnet block 3222 are connected to the cylinder plunger 312 through the different head stud 313 (M3-M5 different head stud). This design transforms and utilizes the cylinder, so that the push rod of the cylinder has adjustable magnetic force, and connects two different threaded holes through the different head stud 313, which greatly saves installation space and assembly parts, and is more in line with the design concept of miniaturization.
多模式切换模块3的工作方式如下:The working mode of the multi-mode switching module 3 is as follows:
①当使用主动控制抓取模式时,后侧电磁铁装配件的第一电磁铁块3221、第二电磁铁块3222持续通电,使第一电磁铁块3221、第二电磁铁块3222与固定在移动单元33上的第二铁片342保持吸附状态,然后通过控制气泵的输出的气流量速度,以及通过电磁阀控制气缸的正向或反向移动,从而实现可控速度的主动抓取。采用气动方式代替传统夹爪的电机控制实现主动抓取,具备控制简单方便的特点,并且相比于丝杆螺母的控制方式,气动驱动具备更小的噪声、更快的移动控制速度的优点。① When using the active control grasping mode, the first electromagnet block 3221 and the second electromagnet block 3222 of the rear electromagnet assembly are continuously energized, so that the first electromagnet block 3221 and the second electromagnet block 3222 are kept in an adsorption state with the second iron sheet 342 fixed on the mobile unit 33, and then the air flow rate output by the air pump is controlled, and the forward or reverse movement of the cylinder is controlled by the solenoid valve, so as to realize active grasping with controllable speed. The pneumatic method is used to replace the motor control of the traditional gripper to realize active grasping, which has the characteristics of simple and convenient control, and compared with the control method of the screw nut, the pneumatic drive has the advantages of smaller noise and faster movement control speed.
②当使用主动二稳态控制模式时,后侧电磁铁装配件断电,使第一电磁铁块3221、第二电磁铁块3222不带磁性,由于二稳态能量转换模块5为移动单元33持续提供往后侧移动的力,当不受其他力时,移动单元33会维持在最后侧,与后侧电磁铁装配件紧贴,即夹爪保持闭合状态。使用该模式时,首先气缸柱塞312正向运动往前推出,将移动块推至最前端与第一电磁铁321贴合,此时第一电磁铁321通电,吸附固定在移动块上的第一铁片341,使移动单元33因磁力作用固定在最前端,夹爪保持最大张开状态,当要抓取物体时,第一电磁铁321断电,由于失去了磁力作用,在二稳态能量转化模块5持续提供的往后侧的力的作用下,从夹爪张开(参考图8)这一稳态迅速转变为夹爪闭合(参考图9)这一种稳态,完成二稳态的快速抓取任务。这种设计可以主动控制二稳态转变的触发时机,并且二稳态的抓取设计仅需极短的时间即可完成抓取任务,具备超高速抓取的特点。② When the active bistable control mode is used, the power to the rear electromagnet assembly is cut off, making the first electromagnet block 3221 and the second electromagnet block 3222 non-magnetic. Since the bistable energy conversion module 5 continuously provides force for the mobile unit 33 to move toward the rear side, when not subjected to other forces, the mobile unit 33 will remain at the rearmost side and tightly attached to the rear electromagnet assembly, that is, the clamp remains in a closed state. When using this mode, first the cylinder plunger 312 moves forward and pushes forward, pushing the moving block to the front end and fitting with the first electromagnet 321. At this time, the first electromagnet 321 is energized, adsorbing the first iron sheet 341 fixed on the moving block, so that the moving unit 33 is fixed at the front end due to the magnetic force, and the clamping jaws remain in the maximum open state. When the object is to be grasped, the first electromagnet 321 is powered off. Due to the loss of magnetic force, under the action of the force to the rear side continuously provided by the two-stable energy conversion module 5, the steady state of the clamping jaw opening (refer to Figure 8) is quickly transformed into the steady state of the clamping jaw closing (refer to Figure 9), completing the fast grasping task of the two-stable state. This design can actively control the triggering timing of the two-stable state transition, and the two-stable grasping design can complete the grasping task in a very short time, with the characteristics of ultra-high-speed grasping.
③当使用被动二稳态控制模式时,需要在两侧夹爪(第一欠驱动连杆单元201及第二欠驱动连杆单元202)的第二连杆22上固定安装一块触发膜37,参考图10,本实施例中,设置于两个第二连杆内侧正中间,触发膜37使用的材料为5度的透明硅胶制作而成,具备柔软性能吸收抓取物体的冲击力,用于传递外界提供的触发力。该模式的使用与主动二稳态控制模式类似,通过气缸将移动块推至最前端,使第一电磁铁321与第一铁片341保持吸附状态,当有力传递到触发膜37上时,触发膜37将这个力传递至移动块上,只要这个力突破了第一电磁铁321的吸附力,移动块将会脱离第一电磁铁321的吸附作用,在二稳态能量转化装置的作用下快速完成夹爪的闭合,完成二稳态的抓取。并且,用户可以通过调节输给第一电磁铁321的电压大小,来调节第一电磁铁321的磁力,从而改变触发被动二稳态抓取所需要的触发力,实现可编程的触发力、可调节的触发灵敏度。这种设计相比于现有二稳态装置固定的触发力更能适应多种抓取需求,降低一些不是我们需要抓取的小质量物体的干扰,有效降低误触发的可能性。③ When using the passive bistable control mode, a trigger membrane 37 needs to be fixedly installed on the second connecting rod 22 of the two side clamps (the first underactuated connecting rod unit 201 and the second underactuated connecting rod unit 202). Referring to FIG10 , in this embodiment, it is arranged in the middle of the inner side of the two second connecting rods. The material used for the trigger membrane 37 is made of 5-degree transparent silicone, which has soft performance to absorb the impact force of the grasped object and is used to transmit the trigger force provided by the outside world. The use of this mode is similar to the active bistable control mode. The moving block is pushed to the front end by the cylinder so that the first electromagnet 321 and the first iron sheet 341 remain in the adsorption state. When the force is transmitted to the trigger membrane 37, the trigger membrane 37 transmits this force to the moving block. As long as this force breaks through the adsorption force of the first electromagnet 321, the moving block will break away from the adsorption effect of the first electromagnet 321, and the clamp will be quickly closed under the action of the bistable energy conversion device to complete the bistable grasping. Furthermore, the user can adjust the magnetic force of the first electromagnet 321 by adjusting the voltage input to the first electromagnet 321, thereby changing the trigger force required to trigger the passive bi-stable grasping, and realizing programmable trigger force and adjustable trigger sensitivity. Compared with the fixed trigger force of the existing bi-stable device, this design can better adapt to various grasping requirements, reduce the interference of some small mass objects that are not what we need to grasp, and effectively reduce the possibility of false triggering.
参考图11,直线移动模块4用于约束滑动模块在第一电磁铁321与第二电磁铁322之间直线运动,直线移动模块4包括固定于外壳1上的第一滑动连接单元,移动单元33上设置有能够与第一滑动连接单元滑动连接的第二滑动连接单元,具体地,本实施例中第一滑动连接单元包括第一直线轴承座41及第二直线轴承座(本实施例中与第一直线轴承座41相同,分别设置在移动单元33的两侧),均固定设置于外壳1上,第一直线轴承座41上安装有第一直线轴承42,第二直线轴承座上安装有第二直线轴承(本实施例中与第一直线轴承42相同),移动单元33上固定设置有第一光杆43与第二光杆(本实施例中与第一光杆43相同),第一光杆43穿设于第一直线轴承42上,第二光杆穿设于第二直线轴承上,第一光杆43与第二光杆分别通过光杆法兰44固定于移动单元33上。每个直线轴承座的前后均设有第一直线轴承挡圈45、第二直线轴承挡圈46。第一直线轴承座41与第二直线轴承座与外壳1固定连接,光杆法兰44与移动单元33固定连接,并且呈左右对称设置。移动单元33的上表面及下表面分别设置有两个滚珠柱塞47,呈左、右、上、下对称设置。Referring to Figure 11, the linear moving module 4 is used to constrain the sliding module to move linearly between the first electromagnet 321 and the second electromagnet 322. The linear moving module 4 includes a first sliding connection unit fixed on the housing 1, and the moving unit 33 is provided with a second sliding connection unit that can be slidably connected to the first sliding connection unit. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first sliding connection unit includes a first linear bearing seat 41 and a second linear bearing seat (the same as the first linear bearing seat 41 in this embodiment, respectively arranged on both sides of the moving unit 33), both of which are fixedly arranged on the housing 1, a first linear bearing 42 is installed on the first linear bearing seat 41, and a second linear bearing (the same as the first linear bearing 42 in this embodiment) is installed on the second linear bearing seat, and a first light rod 43 and a second light rod (the same as the first light rod 43 in this embodiment) are fixedly arranged on the moving unit 33, the first light rod 43 is penetrated through the first linear bearing 42, and the second light rod is penetrated through the second linear bearing, and the first light rod 43 and the second light rod are respectively fixed to the moving unit 33 through the light rod flange 44. Each linear bearing seat is provided with a first linear bearing retaining ring 45 and a second linear bearing retaining ring 46 at the front and rear. The first linear bearing seat 41 and the second linear bearing seat are fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the polished rod flange 44 is fixedly connected to the mobile unit 33, and is symmetrically arranged on the left and right. Two ball plungers 47 are respectively arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the mobile unit 33, and are symmetrically arranged on the left, right, top and bottom.
该模块的设计利用左右对称的直线轴承及光杆的配合,限制移动块在左右方向上的移动自由度,利用四个滚珠柱塞47的滚珠与外壳1滚动接触,限制移动块在上下方向上的移动自由度,确保在多模式切换装置工作时,移动单元33能准确维持在设定位置进行直线运动。市面上的限制直线移动的设计多采用直线导轨,但直线导轨包括滑块和滑轨两部分,整体体积较大,不适合运用到本发明之中,本发明实施例中的直线移动模块4相当于将直线导轨限制的自由度进行了拆分,然后结合到必须使用的零件之中,大幅减小了安装所需空间,并且能保证相同的使用效果。The design of this module uses the cooperation of the left-right symmetrical linear bearing and the light rod to limit the freedom of movement of the moving block in the left-right direction, and uses the rolling contact between the balls of the four ball plungers 47 and the housing 1 to limit the freedom of movement of the moving block in the up-down direction, ensuring that when the multi-mode switching device is working, the moving unit 33 can accurately maintain the set position for linear motion. Most of the designs on the market that limit linear movement use linear guides, but the linear guides include a slider and a slide rail, and the overall volume is large, which is not suitable for use in the present invention. The linear moving module 4 in the embodiment of the present invention is equivalent to splitting the freedom of the linear guide, and then combining it with the parts that must be used, which greatly reduces the space required for installation and can ensure the same use effect.
参考图12,二稳态能量转换模块5包括固定单元及弹性单元,弹性单元的第一端通过固定单元固定于外壳1上,弹性单元的第二端固定连接于移动单元33,弹性单元用于提供二稳态变化的能量,当第一欠驱动连杆单元201的第一端及第二欠驱动连杆单元202的第一端远离时,弹性单元能够拉长,当第一欠驱动连杆单元201的第一端及第二欠驱动连杆单元202的第一端靠拢时,能够将其自身的弹性势能转换为动能。本实施例中,本实施例中的固定单元包括后端橡胶管固定件53、不锈钢柱52、第一橡胶管限位块54、第二橡胶管限位块55,弹性单元为橡胶管51。在该模块中,橡胶管51用于提供二稳态变化的能量,即将其自身的弹性势能转换为动能,后端橡胶管固定件53通过不锈钢柱52与外壳1固定连接,使橡胶管51后端位置固定,橡胶管51前端与移动单元33连接,在直线移动模块4的作用下,橡胶管51提供的能量仅能使移动单元33沿着直线方向运动,实现夹爪的张开与闭合工作。第一橡胶管限位块54和第二橡胶管限位块55用于限制橡胶管51的固定位置,防止工作过程中橡胶管51脱落。Referring to FIG. 12 , the two-stable energy conversion module 5 includes a fixed unit and an elastic unit. The first end of the elastic unit is fixed to the housing 1 through the fixed unit, and the second end of the elastic unit is fixedly connected to the mobile unit 33. The elastic unit is used to provide energy for two-stable changes. When the first end of the first under-actuated connecting rod unit 201 and the first end of the second under-actuated connecting rod unit 202 are far away, the elastic unit can be stretched. When the first end of the first under-actuated connecting rod unit 201 and the first end of the second under-actuated connecting rod unit 202 are close together, their own elastic potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. In this embodiment, the fixed unit in this embodiment includes a rear end rubber tube fixing member 53, a stainless steel column 52, a first rubber tube stopper 54, and a second rubber tube stopper 55, and the elastic unit is a rubber tube 51. In this module, the rubber tube 51 is used to provide energy for bi-stable changes, that is, to convert its own elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The rear end rubber tube fixing piece 53 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 through the stainless steel column 52, so that the rear end position of the rubber tube 51 is fixed. The front end of the rubber tube 51 is connected to the moving unit 33. Under the action of the linear moving module 4, the energy provided by the rubber tube 51 can only make the moving unit 33 move along the linear direction to realize the opening and closing of the clamping jaws. The first rubber tube limit block 54 and the second rubber tube limit block 55 are used to limit the fixed position of the rubber tube 51 to prevent the rubber tube 51 from falling off during operation.
当用户需要调节夹爪二稳态工作模式下的灵敏度及反应速度,即调整夹爪张开与闭合两种稳态转变所需的速率时,可以直接更换橡胶管51的长度、添加或减少橡胶管51的数量,从而使夹爪处于张开状态时所储存的弹性势能发生改变,进而简单地完成两种稳态转变所需的速率的调节,相比于现有的无法调节速率的二稳态抓取装置,这种设计更加简洁,也更加具有人性化与通用化。When the user needs to adjust the sensitivity and reaction speed of the jaws in the bi-stable working mode, that is, to adjust the rate required for the jaws to open and close, the length of the rubber tube 51 can be directly replaced, or the number of rubber tubes 51 can be added or reduced, so that the elastic potential energy stored in the jaws when they are in the open state is changed, thereby simply completing the adjustment of the rate required for the two stable state transitions. Compared with the existing bi-stable gripping device that cannot adjust the rate, this design is simpler, more user-friendly and more universal.
参考图13,外壳1包括上壳体11及下壳体12,上壳体11及下壳体12通过榫卯件以榫卯结构相连接,榫卯件与上壳体11及下壳体12连接处分别固定设置垂直板接件15,垂直板接件15其中相连的两面分别抵接榫卯件及上壳体11或下壳体12。具体地,在本实施例中,外壳1包括背部连接板13、上壳体11、背部榫卯件14、垂直板接件15、侧面榫卯件16、下壳体12、椭圆垂直板接件18、前端榫卯件17。上壳体11和下壳体12采用铝合金制造,具备足够的强度作为夹爪的外部支撑,并且采用碳纤维板加工背部榫卯件14、侧面榫卯件16和前端榫卯件17,利用榫卯结构以及垂直板接件15、椭圆垂直板接件18连接榫卯件和上壳体11、下壳体12,前端榫卯件17通过榫卯结构与壳体11、下壳体12连接,然后椭圆垂直板接件18通过背面和上端面,利用螺钉与前端榫卯板、上壳体11、下壳体12连接,完成双重固定,使整体具备更高的强度和可靠性,能够承受较大的冲击力。Referring to FIG13 , the housing 1 includes an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12, which are connected by mortise and tenon joints in a mortise and tenon structure, and vertical plate joints 15 are fixedly arranged at the joints between the mortise and tenon joints and the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12, respectively, and the two connected surfaces of the vertical plate joints 15 respectively abut against the mortise and tenon joints and the upper housing 11 or the lower housing 12. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the housing 1 includes a back connecting plate 13, an upper housing 11, a back mortise and tenon joint 14, a vertical plate joint 15, a side mortise and tenon joint 16, a lower housing 12, an elliptical vertical plate joint 18, and a front mortise and tenon joint 17. The upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are made of aluminum alloy and have sufficient strength as the external support of the clamp, and the back mortise and tenon parts 14, the side mortise and tenon parts 16 and the front end mortise and tenon parts 17 are processed by carbon fiber plates. The mortise and tenon parts and the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are connected by the mortise and tenon structure and the vertical plate connection parts 15 and the elliptical vertical plate connection parts 18. The front end mortise and tenon part 17 is connected to the shell 11 and the lower shell 12 through the mortise and tenon structure, and then the elliptical vertical plate connection part 18 is connected to the front end mortise and tenon plate, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 through the back and the upper end surface by screws, completing double fixation, so that the whole has higher strength and reliability, and can withstand greater impact force.
上壳体11及下壳体12前端镂空出多模式切换装置中移动块上的外螺纹轴承291的移动区域,根据计算出单侧两个外螺纹轴承291在夹爪工作时所移动的轨迹为椭圆轨迹,利用凸轮原理及椭圆轨迹设计出引导外螺纹轴承291运动的轨迹,并将两条轨迹之间的部分也完全剖空,以适应欠驱动连杆装置因受外部力时导致的外螺纹轴承291的不规则运动。并且上壳体11及下壳体12整体采用轻量化镂空设计,便于观察内部部件的工作状态以及对内部部件的维护工作。本设计将凸轮原理变形运用到外壳1之上,从而引导欠驱动连杆装置的运动路径,具有较强的创新性和实用性。The front end of the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are hollowed out to reveal the moving area of the external threaded bearing 291 on the moving block in the multi-mode switching device. According to the calculation that the moving trajectory of the two external threaded bearings 291 on one side when the clamp is working is an elliptical trajectory, the trajectory for guiding the movement of the external threaded bearing 291 is designed using the cam principle and the elliptical trajectory, and the part between the two trajectories is also completely hollowed out to accommodate the irregular movement of the external threaded bearing 291 caused by the external force of the under-actuated connecting rod device. In addition, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are designed with a lightweight hollow design as a whole, which is convenient for observing the working status of the internal components and the maintenance of the internal components. This design applies the cam principle deformation to the outer shell 1, thereby guiding the movement path of the under-actuated connecting rod device, which is highly innovative and practical.
参考图14,末端连接模块6包括第一末端连接件61、第二末端连接件62、第三末端连接件63,第一末端连接件61用于连接末端的榫卯件,末端为远离欠驱动连杆模块2的一端,第三末端连接件63用于连接目标机械臂,第二末端连接件62设置于第一末端连接件61及第三末端连接件63之间,为第一末端连接件61及第三末端连接件63的转接板,并且第一末端连接件61与第二末端连接件62之间有凸台配合,将螺丝上承受的剪切力分散到凸台之上。具体地,并且所述第一末端连接件61设置有凸台,所述第二末端连接件62设置有通孔,所述凸台能够与通孔配合连接,第一末端连接件61上的凸台插入第二末端连接件62中心的大圆孔(即通孔)中,第一末端连接件61的凸台侧面有四个螺纹盲孔,第二末端连接件62侧面有光孔,将螺丝从第二末端连接件62侧面插入,拧到第一末端连接件61的凸台侧面的螺纹盲孔内进行连接;第二末端连接件62和三末端连接件63之间没有凸台连接,而是通过四个M5螺丝连接。这四个M5螺丝直接从第二末端连接件62表面拧入,拧进第三末端连接件表面的螺纹孔;如果没有凸台连接的话,所有的剪切力都是由固定的螺钉承受,而当现在有凸台连接之后,第一末端连接件61插入第二末端连接件62的凸台同时也起到了承受剪切力的作用,相当于由原本仅由螺丝承受变成了由凸台加螺丝共同承受剪切力。Referring to Figure 14, the end connection module 6 includes a first end connection member 61, a second end connection member 62, and a third end connection member 63. The first end connection member 61 is used to connect the mortise and tenon parts at the end, and the end is the end away from the under-actuated connecting rod module 2. The third end connection member 63 is used to connect the target robot arm. The second end connection member 62 is arranged between the first end connection member 61 and the third end connection member 63, and is a transfer plate for the first end connection member 61 and the third end connection member 63. There is a boss between the first end connection member 61 and the second end connection member 62 to disperse the shear force on the screw to the boss. Specifically, the first terminal connector 61 is provided with a boss, and the second terminal connector 62 is provided with a through hole, and the boss can be connected with the through hole, and the boss on the first terminal connector 61 is inserted into the large circular hole (i.e., through hole) in the center of the second terminal connector 62, and the boss side of the first terminal connector 61 has four threaded blind holes, and the second terminal connector 62 has a light hole, and the screw is inserted from the side of the second terminal connector 62 and screwed into the threaded blind hole on the side of the boss of the first terminal connector 61 for connection; there is no boss connection between the second terminal connector 62 and the third terminal connector 63, but four M5 screws are used. These four M5 screws are screwed directly from the surface of the second terminal connector 62 and screwed into the threaded holes on the surface of the third terminal connector; if there is no boss connection, all shear forces are borne by the fixed screws, and when there is a boss connection now, the boss of the first terminal connector 61 inserted into the second terminal connector 62 also plays a role in bearing the shear force, which is equivalent to the shear force being borne by the boss and the screws instead of being borne by the screws alone.
本实施例中,三个末端连接件通过螺纹固定,其中第一末端连接件61与外壳1中的背部连接板13连接,第三末端连接件63与机械臂连接,第二末端连接件62为两个件的转接板。这种设计将末端执行器和机械臂之间的连接简化,并且每个末端连接件之间都有凸台配合,将螺丝上承受的剪切力分散到凸台之上,降低了螺丝断裂的可能性,提升了稳定性和可靠性。并且第二末端连接件62与第一末端连接件61的连接方式设置为侧面螺纹,相比于设置在正面的螺纹,该种侧面螺纹的设计更加方便于用户的日常拆卸。In this embodiment, the three end connectors are fixed by threads, wherein the first end connector 61 is connected to the back connecting plate 13 in the housing 1, the third end connector 63 is connected to the mechanical arm, and the second end connector 62 is a transition plate of the two parts. This design simplifies the connection between the end effector and the mechanical arm, and each end connector is matched with a boss, which disperses the shear force on the screw to the boss, reduces the possibility of screw breakage, and improves stability and reliability. In addition, the connection method between the second end connector 62 and the first end connector 61 is set as a side thread. Compared with the thread set on the front, this side thread design is more convenient for users' daily disassembly.
