Latticed flexible manipulator

Abstract

The invention provides a latticed flexible manipulator. The reticular flexible manipulator comprises at least one row of first direction control assemblies and at least one row of second direction control assemblies, wherein a plurality of first direction control assemblies are included in each row of first direction control assemblies, and a plurality of second direction control assemblies are included in each row of second direction control assemblies; the first direction control assemblies and the second direction control assemblies are connected to form a flexible latticed structure; eachdirection control assembly comprises a first containing cavity and a second containing cavity, and each second direction control assembly comprises a first containing cavity and a second containing cavity; each first containing cavity contains first fluid; each second containing cavity contains second fluid; the second containing cavities and the first containing cavities are connected; the volumeof the first fluid and the volume of the second fluid are different; the direction control assemblies are bent towards the small-volume sides. Through the combined structure of deformation plates andthe direction control assemblies, the latticed flexible manipulator provided by the invention can achieve both bending deformation and wavy deformation, and the contact area of the latticed flexiblemanipulator and a grabbed object is increased. Moreover, the latticed flexible manipulator further has the advantages of being simple in structure and convenient to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manipulators, in particular to a mesh flexible manipulator. Background technique [0002] In the field of industrial automation, pneumatic flexible manipulators are often used to achieve grasping actions, but the structure of the current flexible manipulator is relatively complicated, the processing and production costs are high, and the connection and structure of the air intake and ventilation pipelines in the flexible pneumatic manipulator are relatively complicated. The difficulty of installation and maintenance is high, the reliability is low, and the structure for controlling the grasping direction is relatively complicated, and it is time-consuming to install and disassemble. The contact area is small. Contents of the invention [0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a mesh flexible manipulator. [0004] In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the pr...
