A kind of pneumatic actuation multi-finger dexterous hand of robot manufacturing process based on 3D printingTechnical field
The invention belongs to multi-finger dexterous hand of robot manufacturing technology field, and in particular to a kind of pneumatic driving based on 3D printingMulti-finger dexterous hand of robot (Robot Multi-fingered Dexterous Hand) manufacturing process of flowing mode.
Background technology
3D printing is also known as increasing material manufacturing, is to rise simultaneously fast-developing one kind in the past 30 years to be based on successively material addition originalThe advanced manufacturing methods of reason.According to the F42 committees of American Society Testing and Materials (ASTM Committee F42) definition, 3DPrinting includes 7 sub- technologies altogether:Material extrusion (Material Extrusion), material injection (MaterialJetting), adhesive injection (Binder Jetting), container type photopolymerization (Vat Photopolymerization), layerFold and make (Sheet Lamination), powder bed fusion (Powder Bed Fusion), oriented energy deposition (DirectedEnergy Fusion).Wherein, material extrusion, container type photopolymerization and powder bed integration technology are most widely used.EspeciallyMaterial extruded type 3D printing, due to its relatively low equipment cost, the selection of wider material and the preferable advantage such as molding part performance,Obtained a wide range of applications in recent years.
3D printing is a kind of based on mathematical model file, and actual object is constructed by way of successively material stackingTechnology.Material extruded type technology is based on material under flowable state (such as molten state, solution), the lower extrusion of the effect of being stressed, byLayer is accumulated and solidifies (such as glassy transition, crystallization, solvent volatilization), so as to build 3D objects.In material extruded type 3D printingIn a widely used technology be referred to as Deformation In The Fdm Process (fused depositionmodeling) or melting wire rodManufacture (fused filament fabrication), its general principle is:The linearmaterial gear of thermal plastic high polymer is passedThe hot junction for being sent to a high temperature melts macromolecule, and hot junction is moved along part section profile and filling track, while by fusingMaterial is extruded, and material solidifies rapidly, and with the material local fusing of surrounding, this process constantly can be repeated successively, so as to buildThree-dimensional body.Each synusia is to accumulate to form in preceding layer, and preceding layer plays a part of positioning and supported to current layer.With the increase of height, the area and shape of synusia profile can all change, when shape has greatly changed, upper strata wheelExterior feature cannot provide sufficiently positioning and supporting role to current layer, and this just needs the supporting construction for designing some auxiliary, to rearSubsequent layers provide positioning and support, to ensure the smooth realization of forming process.
End effector of robot (End-effector), it is the device that robot is used for directly performing various operations and taskPart.Traditional industrial robot end effector is when performing the operation of crawl target object, mainly by applying larger pressureSo as to produce larger frictional force to realize, object that is crisp, tender or having life entity is not suitable for.Enter one with robot technologyStep development, using human hand as prototype, human hand function and structure are simulated, design is with multi-joint, the multi-freedom robot of more fingersEnd effector, referred to as multi-finger dexterous hand of robot.Multi-finger clever hand mainly takes following three kinds of type of drive:(1) motorType of drive;(2) pneumatic actuation mode;(3) novel intelligent material type of drive, (see reference document 1:Wang Zhiheng, based on FPANovel pneumatic multi-finger dexterous hand of robot research [D] Hangzhou:Zhejiang University, 2011.), the wherein principle of pneumatic actuation modeIt is:Connect the closed air chamber of multi-finger clever hand, form internal positive pressure or negative pressure, inside and outside differential pressure promote object occur respective curved orExtensional deformation, see Fig. 1, the model has a trunk, is distributed a number of branch in the side of trunk;It is sky in each branchChamber, it is interconnected and forms an air chamber, and reserves a pipeline and be in communication with the outside.
Toshiba Corp (Toshiba) has developed Three Degree Of Freedom Pneumatic artificial muscle FMA (FlexibleMicroactuator), (see reference document 2:Suzumori K,Iikura S,TANAKA H.Flexiblemicroactuator for miniature robots[A].Proceedings of IEEE InternationalConference onMicro Electro Mechanical Systems[C].Nara,IEEE Press,1991:204–209.), it is mainly made up of natural rubber pipe, and 3 air chambers of substep in sebific duct, the air pressure of 3 air chambers of adjustment can form differenceBending on direction.Although FMA can accomplish grade product, air chamber, and embedded nylon fiber are distributed in small structure,So that processing technology complex, technical difficulty are high, it is costly.
In United States Patent (USP) US 5568957, a kind of multi-finger clever hand component for imitating human hand shape, its five hands are disclosedThe inner core of finger is connected by closed conduct, and periphery is wrapped in another air chamber.By adjust two air chambers air pressure, complete crawl andRelease movement.But the patent does not refer to the processing technology of component.
In the B2 of United States Patent (USP) US 9464642, the component with specific air chamber is pieced together using two kinds of flexible materials, there is providedAbundant practical application displaying, while the technology employs 3D printing technique manufacture shell, then solidifies silica gel in shellDeng flexible material.But the component disassembly forming of multi-finger clever hand is added the complexity of technique by the patent;And object need to beCuring molding in shell, it is impossible to one-shot forming complex model so that structure design is limited.
Pneumatic driving dynamic formula multi-finger clever hand inner has one or several closing spaces, by connecting different air pressure barsPart, deformed state corresponding to object appearance.Soft elastic material is used as dashing forward the advantages of processing pneumatic driving dynamic formula multi-finger clever hand objectGo out, one side air chamber can abundant deformation, realize crawl or the release movement of multi-finger dexterous hand of robot, on the other hand soft bulletGreatly aspect captures object that is crisp, tender or having life entity for property sense.
Three dimensional design quickly, directly accurately can be converted into mock-up by 3D printing technique, facilitate robotDesign work, be particularly suitable for the development of intelligent robot.The 3D printing of material extruded type, container type photopolymerization 3D printing,Powder bed fusion 3D printing can process soft elastic material, be that printing object mechanical strength is high the advantages of material extruded type, makeWith conveniently, two kinds of materials can be used simultaneously.Fig. 2 shows twin-jet nozzle material extruded type 3D printing equipment, soft elastic materialIt is integrally formed with hard material, both meets elastic deformation, and intensity is provided in specific region, is pneumatic driving dynamic formula multi-finger clever handDesign provide more more options space.
The printing wire rod hardness that common material extruded type 3D printer can use is not less than shore hardness 50D soft bulletProperty wire rod.Improved by being formulated adjustment and equipment, can print wire rod of the shore hardness in 40D or so.Soft elastic material passes through doubleScrew rod and the processing of single screw rod equipment, obtain the homogeneous soft elastic wire of line footpath.Multi-finger clever hand object can be according to the actual requirementsFrom the wire product of different hardness.Three-dimensional Design Software is used to design multi-finger clever hand object, chooses the soft bullet of suitable stiffnessProperty the print parameters such as wire rod and 3D printer, adjustment disposing way, supporting construction, compactedness and print speed, obtain printing matterThe still good object of amount.
However, because material extruded type 3D printer is extruded by the way that wire rod is melted, and from nozzle, then in layersFused materials are accumulated, ultimately form object.In forming process, fused materials are very fast in subregion cooling, or accumulation is unevenIt is even, cause relevant range bonding insufficient, a large amount of holes occur.Although most holes are not seen, the gas of objectClose property is poor, it is difficult to forms enough inside and outside differential pressures.So can 3D printing object be used as pneumatic driving dynamic formula multi-finger clever hand object,The air-tightness of printing object is the key of problem.
