The invention discloses a five-finger independently-driven mechanical
artificial hand, which comprises five fingers and a
wrist and is characterized in that the fingers and the
wrist commonly have 19
degrees of freedom, wherein each finger is respectively provided with three joints, i.e. a distal
interphalangeal joint, a proximal
interphalangeal joint and a metacarprophalangeal joint; three joints of each finger are connected with a
drive motor through a first line and a second line so as to draw each finger to move; the
wrist is provided with three joints, i.e. a joint rotating around a z shaft, a joint rotating around an x shaft and a joint, which is arranged between the joint rotating around the z shaft and the joint rotating around the x shaft, rotates around a y shaft; and the joints of the wrist are provided with windings of the
drive motor for driving the wrist to rotate. Compared with the prior art, five fingers of the mechanical
artificial hand have similar joint structures to fingers of people and higher degree of freedom; and in addition, the invention has the advantages of simple structure, light weight as well as good flexibility, low cost and flexible motion by pulling hand through lines, so that the invention is beneficial for the disabled to use in daily life.
