Specifically, the distal ends of the firstmain driving wire 410A and the secondmain driving wire 410a are disposed on the connectingunit 100 of the distal activejoint assembly 200a.

如图16至图17所示,其为本申请连接组件10关节组件不同实施例的结构示意图。关节组件200还包括转动部230,用于连接相邻的连接单元100。具体地,转动部230包括两个转动轴231,及连接转动轴的连接件232,两个转动轴分别位于其连接的相邻的两个连接单元100上,以使相邻两个连接单元100通过两个转动轴231转动。其中,转动轴231既可以形成于连接单元上,也可以独立设置。其他实施例中,也可以省略连接件232,此时无需连接件232。需要说明的是,当关节组件包括多个连接单元时,转动部为多个,用于连接多个连接单元。16 to 17, which are schematic structural views of different embodiments of the joint assembly of thejoint assembly 10 of the present application. Thejoint assembly 200 also includes arotating portion 230 for connecting adjacent connectingunits 100. Specifically, the rotatingportion 230 includes tworotating shafts 231 and a connectingmember 232 connecting the rotating shafts, and the two rotating shafts are respectively located on the adjacent two connectingunits 100 connected thereto, so that the adjacent two connectingunits 100 are It is rotated by the tworotating shafts 231. Therotating shaft 231 may be formed on the connecting unit or independently. In other embodiments, theconnector 232 can also be omitted, in which case theconnector 232 is not required. It should be noted that when the joint assembly includes a plurality of connecting units, the rotating portion is plural for connecting the plurality of connecting units.
相比相邻两个连接单元仅通过一个转动轴转动的连接组件,上述关节接组件200转动更加稳定,且寿命更长。Thejoint assembly 200 is more stable in rotation and has a longer life than a connecting assembly in which two adjacent connecting units are rotated by only one rotating shaft.
其他实施例中,转动部也可以仅具有一个转动轴,此时,省略连接件232。或者,关节组件中部分转动部具有两个转动轴,部分转动部具有一个转动轴。In other embodiments, the rotating portion may have only one rotating shaft, and at this time, the connectingmember 232 is omitted. Alternatively, the partial rotation portion of the joint assembly has two rotation shafts, and the partial rotation portion has one rotation shaft.
本实施例中,关节组件中相邻两个连接单元上的两个转动轴231平行设置。其他实施例中,关节组件中相邻两个连接单元上的两个转动轴231也可以非平行设置,例如两个转动轴231之间的夹角为5度~45度。非平行设置的转动轴231进一步增大了连接组件10的活动范围。In this embodiment, two rotatingshafts 231 on two adjacent connecting units in the joint assembly are disposed in parallel. In other embodiments, the tworotating shafts 231 on two adjacent connecting units in the joint assembly may also be non-parallel, for example, the angle between the tworotating shafts 231 is 5 to 45 degrees. The non-parallelly disposedrotating shaft 231 further increases the range of motion of the connectingassembly 10.
关节组件200的转动角度为关节组件中多个转动轴231转动角度之和。一实施例中,关节组件包括两个连接单元,关节组件的转动角为两个转动轴转动角度之和,其中,两个转动轴231转动时转动角度相同,即关节组件200转动时,其每个转动轴231的转动角度为关节组件200转动角度的一半。其他实施例中,连接相邻两个连接单元的两个转动轴231转动时转动角度相异。The angle of rotation of thejoint assembly 200 is the sum of the angles of rotation of the plurality ofrotating shafts 231 in the joint assembly. In one embodiment, the joint assembly includes two connecting units, and the rotation angle of the joint assembly is the sum of the rotation angles of the two rotating shafts, wherein the tworotating shafts 231 rotate at the same angle, that is, when thejoint assembly 200 rotates, each of them The rotation angle of therotation shaft 231 is half the rotation angle of thejoint assembly 200. In other embodiments, the tworotating shafts 231 connecting the adjacent two connecting units rotate at different angles of rotation.
当关节组件200包括两个耦合的第一关节组件210,且第一关节组件210 具有两个连接单元时,两个第一关节组件210中的转动轴231对应耦合,耦合的两个转动轴231转动角度相同,方向相反。具体地,耦合的第一关节组件中,位于近端关节组件的近端转动轴231与位于远端关节组件的远端转动轴231耦合,近端关节组件的远端转动轴231与远端关节组件的近端转动轴231耦合。当关节组件200包括耦合的两个第二关节组件,且第二关节组件210具有两个连接单元时,两个第二关节组件相应的转动轴231对应耦合,耦合的转动轴231转动角度成比例,方向相同。When thejoint assembly 200 includes two coupled firstjoint assemblies 210, and the firstjoint assembly 210 has two connecting units, the rotatingshafts 231 of the two firstjoint assemblies 210 are coupled, and the tworotating shafts 231 are coupled. The angle of rotation is the same and the direction is opposite. Specifically, of the coupled first joint assembly, the proximalrotational axis 231 of the proximal joint assembly is coupled to the distalrotational axis 231 of the distal joint assembly, and the distalrotational axis 231 and distal joint of the proximal joint assembly The proximalrotational axis 231 of the assembly is coupled. When thejoint assembly 200 includes two coupled second joint assemblies, and the secondjoint assembly 210 has two connecting units, the correspondingrotating shafts 231 of the two second joint assemblies are coupled, and the rotational axes of the coupled rotatingshafts 231 are proportionally rotated. The same direction.
需要说明的是,当一个关节组件通过多个驱动丝驱动时,若该关节组件200转动,则驱动该关节组件200的各驱动丝长度变化相同。例如,如图14所示,主动关节组件200A通过两根第一主驱动丝410A驱动,当位于上方的第一主驱动丝410A缩短以使转动单元100朝向该侧旋转时,位于下方第一主驱动丝410A相应伸长相同的长度。同理,驱动关节组件200B的两根从驱动丝420在转动时长度变化相同。本实施例中,连接件使两个转动轴231之间的距离恒定,驱动同一个关节组件200的驱动丝相对于连接件对称设置。It should be noted that when a joint assembly is driven by a plurality of drive wires, if thejoint assembly 200 is rotated, the lengths of the respective drive wires that drive thejoint assembly 200 are the same. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the activejoint assembly 200A is driven by two firstmain drive wires 410A, and when the firstmain drive wire 410A located above is shortened to rotate therotary unit 100 toward the side, the first main lower portion is located Thedrive wire 410A is correspondingly elongated by the same length. Similarly, the lengths of the twodrive wire assemblies 420 that drive thejoint assembly 200B change the same as they rotate. In the present embodiment, the connecting member makes the distance between the tworotating shafts 231 constant, and the driving wires for driving the samejoint assembly 200 are symmetrically disposed with respect to the connecting member.
如图17所示,一实施例中,关节组件200还具有与关节组件200中的连接单元100均连接的加强轴240。其中,加强轴形成于关节组件200中的一个连接单元100上,与其相邻的连接单元100具有与其匹配的凹槽,以与其配合连接。其他实施例中,加强轴240也可以为独立部件。As shown in FIG. 17, in one embodiment, thejoint assembly 200 also has a stiffeningshaft 240 that is coupled to thecoupling unit 100 in thejoint assembly 200. Wherein, the reinforcing shaft is formed on one of the connectingunits 100 in thejoint assembly 200, and the connectingunit 100 adjacent thereto has a groove matched thereto to be coupled thereto. In other embodiments, thereinforcement shaft 240 can also be a separate component.

Thedriving mechanism 91 includes a drivingportion 600 and aroller 610. The drivingportion 600 drives theroller 610 to rotate, and thedriving wire 400 is disposed on theroller 610 to drive the drivingportion 600 to drive the connecting assembly to move. In other embodiments, theroller 610 in the drive mechanism may be omitted, and the drive wire is directly connected to the drive unit.

The drivingpart 600 drives the plurality ofrollers 610 to rotate through thetransmission component 620. Specifically, thetransmission component 620 is a gear mechanism, and the end of each drivingpart 600 is connected with one main gear of thetransmission component 620 to drive and The main gear meshes from the gear and the gear is coupled to theroller 610 to drive the roller to rotate. In other embodiments, the plurality ofrollers 610 driven by thesame driving portion 600 may also have opposite rotation directions, and the rotation axes of the plurality ofrollers 610 may also be non-parallel, or the partial parallel portions may be non-parallel.
