A device that realizes three-dimensional motion of magnetic liquid metal

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for achieving three-dimensional motion of magnetic liquid metal. The device comprises a three-dimensional channel, a first electrode, a second electrode and an electrolyte arranged in the three-dimensional channel. One end of the first electrode and one end of the second electrode both make contact with the electrolyte. The other end of the first electrode and theother end of the second electrode are connected with an anode and a cathode of a power source correspondingly. The magnetic liquid metal is arranged in the electrolyte. At least one magnet is arranged above the magnetic liquid metal. The magnet is arranged above the three-dimensional channel, upward magnetism is applied to the magnetic liquid metal, the gravity of the magnetic liquid metal is overcome, resistance to the liquid metal in the motion process is reduced, thus motion characteristics of the magnetic liquid metal are promoted to a great extent, three-dimensional motion is finally completed autonomously only under the action of the upward magnetism and driving of an electric field in the three-dimensional uphill process, and manual assistance is not needed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a liquid metal, in particular to a device for realizing the three-dimensional movement of the magnetic liquid metal. Background technique [0002] Liquid metals represented by gallium and gallium-indium alloys have attracted widespread attention in recent years due to their excellent electrical conductivity of metals and fluidity of liquids, and have been increasingly used to manufacture soft robots that cannot be realized with traditional rigid materials. . At present, the international research content on the mechanism of liquid metal movement is very rich, including electric control, magnetic control, light, chemical reaction and other driving methods. Movement on the plane, even if the movement in the three-dimensional direction is initially realized, human assistance is needed to realize the three-dimensional movement of the liquid metal, so it is impossible to realize the liquid metal to independently complete the three-...

Problems solved by technology

At present, the research content on the movement mechanism of liquid metal is very rich in the world, including electric control, magnetic control, light, chemical reaction and other driving methods. Due to the fluidity and gravity of liquid metal, pure liquid metal and magnetic liquid metal are mostly in two-dimensional Movement on the plane, even if the movement in the three-dimensional direction is initially realized, human assistance is needed to realize the three-dimensional movement of the liquid metal, so it is impossible to realize the liquid metal to independently complete the three-dimensional movement
