Embodiment Construction

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are for more clearly explaining the technical solutions of the present invention without limiting the scope of the invention.

[0022] figure 1 A schematic view of the external structure of the present invention; an upper housing 1-2 and a lower housing 1-4, which are formed by an IPMC-driven imitation snake head device, including eye 1-1, using an IPMC drive material. The connectors 1-3 of the upper housing and the lower housing. It can be seen from the figure that the upper housing and the lower housing are variable, the volume of the intermediate portion is large, the size of the left and right ends is small, and the resistance to the snake head can be reduced. The upper housing is provided with a cavity and a lower casing, respectively, and two cavities are integrated for mounting the required components. When making, the mold of the upper housing ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a bionic snake head device based on IPMC driving. The invention aims to provide a bionic snake head device. The device is simple in structure and small in size, and deeper exploration is made for taking an IPMC material as a driving material of a robot. According to the technical scheme, the bionic snake head device based on IPMC driving is characterized by comprising an upper shell, a lower shell and eyes, wherein the lower shell is hinged to the upper shell through a rotating shaft to form a snake mouth shape; the eyes are mounted on the upper shell and used for detecting the condition in front of a snake head; the upper shell and the lower shell are respectively provided with a cavity, and the two cavities are connected into a whole; an IPMC driver, a battery and a button switch are arranged in each cavity; the upper shell and the lower shell are both made of an IPMC driving material; and the IPMC drivers are connected with the inner wall of the upper shelland the inner wall of the lower shell through external electrode plates so as to achieve opening and closing movement of a bionic snake mouth.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an IPMC-driven bionn snake head device belonging to the technical field of IPMC material. Background technique [0002] With the constant maturation of mechanics, the robots gradually entered reality from people, and is widely used in production, medical, military, disaster relief, detection and other fields. In some complex, dynamic terrain detection, traditional rigid robots are large, poor adaptability, poor safety, and poor flexibility, etc. It is difficult to meet people's needs, which provides a good opportunity for the development of bionic robotics. Among them, research on drive materials has been considered as a focus. The currently used drive material has a piezoelectric material, a shape memory alloy, a conventional mechanical material, but is required to complete the desired environment, such as a higher voltage, or a higher temperature, or a more complex mechanical structure. [0003] IPMC is a typical electroac...
