一种用于康复机器人手指的软体致动器设计

Design of A New Soft Actuator for Rehabilitation Robot Finger

  • 摘要: 针对手部运动功能障碍的患者康复问题,设计一种用于可穿戴式康复机器人手指的软体致动器。该软体致动器由具集成通道的弹性材料制成,内部为密集分布的三角形非充气腔室和菱形充气腔室,两种不同功能的腔室间隔分布,且充气腔室之间有通道连接。对于该软体致动器设计,首先在ABAQUS中进行变形仿真分析,验证其可行性;然后,采用3D打印技术等制作软体致动器实物并在搭建的实验平台上进行实验。结果表明,设计的软体致动器整体结构合理,可较好地实现手指0~90°弯曲运动,弯曲角度通过气压进行调节,能够满足手指关节运动及韧带拉伸的康复训练需求。

     

    Abstract: Aiming at the rehabilitation problem of patients with hand movement dysfunction, a new soft actuator for wearable rehabilitation robot finger was designed. The soft actuator was made of elastic materials with integrated channels. The interior of the soft actuator was densely distributed with triangular non-inflatable chamber and rhombic inflatable chamber. The chambers of the two different functions were spaced apart, and there was a channel connection between them. For the soft actuator design, the deformation simulation analysis was first carried out in ABAQUS to verify its feasibility. Then, the soft actuator was manufactured with technique of 3D print, and experimented on the experimental platform. The results show that the designed structure of the soft actuator is reasonable, and the bending motion of the finger is 0-90°. The bending angle can be adjusted by the air pressure, which can meet the needs of rehabilitation training of joint movement and ligament stretching.
