Description

Variable-rigidity magnetorheological soft magnetic control robot based on particle blocking principle
Technical Field
The invention relates to a robot, in particular to a variable-rigidity magnetorheological soft magnetic control robot based on a particle blocking principle, and belongs to the technical field of soft robots.
Background
When the traditional rigid robot interacts with the environment, the application range of the robot is greatly limited due to obvious defects in aspects such as flexibility and adaptability. Therefore, in recent years, soft robots made of soft materials have become a research hotspot.
Although soft robots have made great progress, soft robots still have limitations. The completely low stiffness structure in the case of large deformations limits the load-bearing properties of its practical operation. In addition, in modern industrial production lines, the types of products are increasing. For conformal grabbing of different objects, most of flexible manipulators are realized by enveloping the clamping objects, and the joint surface of the rubber bag filled with gas and the object is not easy to control, so that the flexible manipulator has great limitation.
Micro-particles are a very specific substance, and although each is solid, a population of particles has a liquid-like fluidity in a loose state. Meanwhile, if pressure is applied to loose particles, a blocking effect is generated among the particles, and the particles are mutually extruded, so that the whole particles are in a solid state. By means of the fluidity of the particles, the particles are used as media to achieve the effect similar to hydraulic transmission or gas transmission, so that the transmission of power is carried out. Compared with gas and liquid transmission, the particulate matter transmission does not need to be strictly sealed, so that the design of a transmission structure can be simplified, and the rigidity change can be carried out. However, conventional particle blocking transmission methods require pneumatic or motor drive, which has application limitations in small soft robots.
Magnetorheological fluids are a colloidal dispersion composed of a base carrier liquid and a particulate magnetic solid. The base carrier liquid, i.e., the dispersion medium, is generally kerosene, machine oil, or the like, and the solid magnetic particles as the dispersed phase are usually ferromagnetic substances such as iron, cobalt, nickel, magnetic oxides thereof, and the like. The magnetorheological fluid has colloid stability, component stability and good magnetization property. The liquid has better fluidity when no external magnetic field is applied. When the fluid is subjected to an externally applied magnetic field, the fluid is instantaneously converted into Bingham fluid from Newton fluid, and the viscosity is rapidly increased. After the space magnetic field is removed, the magnetorheological fluid is restored to the initial state.
Therefore, in order to solve the problems of the soft robot, development of a stiffness-changing technology for the soft robot is needed to realize reversible switching between a rigid state and a flexible state, so that the flexibility of the system is ensured, the environmental adaptability is improved, the bearing capacity of the system is improved, and the requirements of multiple varieties and small batches are better met.

Embodiment 2, in addition to all the technical features in embodiment one, further includes: the axial coil 6 is located at the middle position of the support frame 1, and a magnetic field generated by energizing the axial coil 6 is along the axial direction of the support frame 1.
The two outer layer elastic bodies 2 are made of sheet rubber materials, one end of each outer layer elastic body 2 is fixedly connected with the supporting frame 1, the other end of each outer layer elastic body is connected with the middle coil 3, and the magnetic field direction of the middle coil 3 is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction of the axial coil 6.
The inner layer elastic body 5 is made of rubber material, and the inner layer elastic body 5 is a hollow rectangular strip-shaped body and is bent into a mountain shape as a whole.
The bottom coil 4 arranged at the lower end of the inner layer elastic body 5 is symmetrically arranged, and the magnetic field direction of the bottom coil 4 is parallel to the magnetic field direction of the middle coil 3.
Embodiment 3, in addition to all the technical features in embodiment one, further includes: the robot is in a non-energized state in which the middle coil 3, the bottom coil 4 and the axial coil 6 are not energized or in a natural state, no magnetic field is generated, and the whole robot is in a soft state, so that the inner-layer elastic body 5 of the robot can be conveniently sleeved on the object 7 to be clamped when the robot performs a grabbing task.
When the robot performs a grabbing task, the two bottom coils 4 apply reverse currents, namely magnetic fields are opposite, the two bottom coils 4 attract each other, and the inner layer elastic body 5 is driven to deform and wrap the object 7 to be grabbed.
When the robot performs a grabbing task, the axial coil 6 applies current without constraint in the direction, and a magnetic field generated by the axial coil 6 attracts magnetorheological fluid in the inner-layer elastic body 5, namely, the top end of the elastic body is driven to move upwards, so that the inner-layer elastic body 5 is further deformed and attached to the surface of an object 7 to be clamped.
When the robot performs a grabbing task, the two middle coils 3 apply opposite currents, namely, the magnetic fields of the two middle coils 3 are opposite and attract each other, and the generated magnetic fields magnetize magnetorheological fluid in the inner layer elastomer 5, so that the two middle coils 3 are respectively close to the center and are adsorbed on the surface of the inner layer elastomer 5.

When an object needs to be grabbed, firstly, the inner layer elastomer 5 is primarily contacted with the surface of the object, and the two bottom coils 4 apply reverse currents, namely, magnetic fields are opposite; the two bottom coils 4 attract each other to drive the inner layer elastic body 5 to deform and wrap the object; then, an electric current is applied to the axial coil 6, and a magnetic field generated by the electric current attracts magnetorheological fluid in the inner-layer elastic body 5, namely drives the top end of the elastic body to move upwards, so that the inner-layer elastic body 5 is further deformed and is attached to the surface of the clamped object; finally, opposite currents are applied to the two middle coils 3, namely, the magnetic fields of the two middle coils 3 are opposite and attract each other, and the generated magnetic fields magnetize the magnetorheological fluid in the inner layer elastomer 5, so that the two middle coils 3 are respectively close to the center and are adsorbed on the surface of the inner layer elastomer 5. In the grabbing process, the magnetic fields generated by the axial coil 6, the middle coil 3 and the bottom coil 4 not only can magnetize the magnetorheological fluid in the inner-layer elastic body 5, but also can generate corresponding stretching and extrusion movements; when the clamped object is required to be released, the power supply is disconnected to the axial coil 6 and the middle coil 3, and current in the same direction is applied to the bottom coil 4, namely the top and middle positions of the inner layer elastomer 5 are restored to a soft state, and the clamped object is separated; at the same time, the two bottom coils 4 repel each other, releasing the gripped object. After the object is released, the power supply of the middle coil 3 is disconnected, and the magnetorheological soft magnetic control robot quickly returns to the initial state to wait for the next grabbing task.
