Personification actuation device for robot neck

Abstract

The invention provides a personification actuation device for a robot neck. The personification actuation device for the robot neck comprises an outermost artificial skin (3), a polydimethylsiloxane filler (4) located in a middle layer, a composite bending drive (5) located in the polydimethylsiloxane filler (4) for neck pitch and rotation, a support upper cover plate (1) located at the upper partof the actuation device, and a support lower cover plate (2) located at the lower part of the actuation device. According to the invention, the personification actuation device for the robot neck hasthe continuity and fluency of a personification movement, reduces driving energy consumption, has strong deformability, high energy density, simple structure, low cost, unlimited size and large drivecorner, and the neck movement can be completed quickly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to an anthropomorphic actuating device for a robot neck. Background technique [0002] With the continuous progress and development of science and technology, more and more things are gradually becoming possible from impossible. The emergence of robots has facilitated many problems in our lives, such as sweeping the floor, washing dishes, etc., can already be done by robots, and scientists are still developing more advanced technologies. Today's society is gradually aging, and the technology of bionic robots may make up for the shortage of young labor in the future society, solve the family service and medical problems of the aging society, and promote the development of the industry. [0003] At present, countries around the world regard the research of humanoid robots as one of the key directions in the field of robotics. The humanoid neck is a part of the humanoid robot, which i...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] Chinese patent 201710826260.8 discloses a neck joint drive mechanism of a humanoid robot. Its technical solution is to use a hydraulic pitch drive device to drive the neck pitch mechanism, and then drive the head to perform a pitch movement, and use a hydraulic rotary drive device to drive the neck rotation mechanism. , and then drive the head to rotate. The technical solution adopted in this invention first uses two separate hydraulic devices to drive the neck, which takes up a lot of space, makes the entire neck joint bloated, and reduces the simulation degree of the simulation robot. And the pitching and slewing need to be driven separately; second, the slewing action of the neck can only occur after the neck pitching mechanism is driven by the hydraulic pitching drive device, and is driven by the hydraulic neck slewing drive device, and the neck cannot be simply performed. Third, the neck turning mechanism and the neck pitching mechanism are composed of upper gear, lower gear, rotating shaft, copper sleeve, and swinging parts. The action after being driven by the hydraulic drive device is affected by the mechanical parts. Although the structure is compact, there are many parts, and there will inevitably be singular points during the movement, which will form the distortion point of the movement and affect the continuity of the neck movement. The movement is not coherent and real, which further reduces the performance of the simulation robot. degree of simulation
