Abstract

A pneumatic soft gripper capable of locking joints in a vacuum absorption mode comprises a position fixing structure, flexible sucking disc spines and multiple groups of soft fingers in pairs, whereinthe soft fingers are arranged on the position fixing structure, and each flexible sucking disc spine is arranged between the two soft fingers in each pair so as to control the relative position of the two soft fingers in each pair. The pneumatic soft gripper capable of locking the joints in the vacuum absorption mode is simple in structure, easy to integrate, simple to process and low in cost. Byadding the flexible sucking disc spines in the soft fingers, a variable rigidity and full flexibility gripper is obtained, not only are the softness and flexibility characteristics of the soft gripper kept, but also bearing force and stability of the fingers are improved, a gripping state is kept through self-locking and without the need for additional energy supply in the gripping process, and therefore work energy consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology in the field of robots and industrial automation, in particular to a pneumatic software gripper for vacuum adsorption locking joints. Background technique [0002] With the development of silicone rubber and smart materials, soft materials have become a hot research field for making robots. Soft robots based on materials such as silicone rubber have extremely high compliance and softness. The safety at work far exceeds that of traditional rigid robots. Because it can interact well with the environment, soft robots are more suitable for manipulating complex or fragile objects. The gripping action is achieved by inflating it to bend and deform it. Due to the good flexibility and adaptability of the soft hand, the control complexity is greatly reduced, and it is suitable for grasping fragile, fragile and changeable objects. Existing flexible robots intersecting rigid robots still have disadvantages such as low bear...
