Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, the electrode layer of the current PVC gel laminated driver is in physical contact with the PVC gel layer, which produces electroshrinkage when bearing an external load, which easily leads to separation between layers and makes the driver fail, thereby Limits the application of PVC gel actuators as contraction actuators

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-voltage electrostriction actuator based on PVC gel driving, which is formed by repeatedly folding or alternately weaving a conductive mesh-shaped anode and a PVC gel-cathode integrated film, wherein the outer layer is wrapped with a flexible protective shell; and the PVC gel-cathode integrated film is formed by wrapping an ultrathin conductive cathode with a PVC gel film. The electric connecting wires are arranged at the two ends of the driver, under the effect of the voltage lower than 200 V, the driver can generate large contraction deformation, and an importantpopularization value is achieved in the fields of flexible robots, power assisting instruments and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent materials and intelligent structures, and in particular relates to a low-voltage electro-shrinkage actuator driven by PVC gel. Background technique [0002] Electroactive polymer (EAP) is a new class of smart materials. This polymer deforms after being electrically stimulated, and has the advantages of high energy density, light weight, simple forming, and large deformation without fatigue. At present, electroactive polymers are mostly researched on dielectric elastomer materials (Dielectric Elastomer, referred to as DE) and ionic polymer-metal composite materials (Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites, referred to as IPMC). The former has the advantages of large output force and fast response speed, but its application is limited by its driving voltage of several thousand volts. The latter has the advantages of low driving voltage (1-5V), flexibility, light weight, and good biocompatibility, but t...
