A Flexible Manipulator Containing Non-Newtonian Fluid

Abstract

The present invention provides a flexible manipulator containing non-Newtonian fluid, comprising: a first pipe body, the first pipe body is provided with an accommodation chamber with an opening at one end along its length direction, and a non-Newtonian fluid is arranged in the accommodation chamber; a pressurizing device, the pressurizing device is connected with the first pipe body to apply pressure to the non-Newtonian fluid in the accommodating cavity through the opening. According to the flexible manipulator containing non-Newtonian fluid according to the embodiment of the present invention, the combination structure of the first pipe body and the pressurizing device can not only realize the controllable bending degree of the flexible manipulator and controllable shape retention and deformation state of the flexible manipulator, At the same time, it can effectively grasp the objects to be grasped, and has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, and convenient processing and production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manipulators, in particular to a flexible manipulator containing non-Newtonian fluid. 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 grabbing direction is relatively complicated, and installation and disassembly are time-consuming, especially for the effective control of the bending degree and shape retention of the manipulator, which requires a more complex structure. Flexible manipulators with high manufacturing costs. Conte...
