The specific embodiment
Below with reference to accompanying drawing, preferred embodiment of the present invention is elaborated, so that clearer understanding objects, features and advantages of the present invention.It should be understood that embodiment shown in the drawings is not limitation of the scope of the invention, and just for the connotation of technical solution of the present invention is described.In description, identical Reference numeral represents same or analogous parts.
The present invention proposes a kind of receiving and can curve retractable and flexible non-individual body frame for movement, this structure can realize controlled curving and stretching motion, and there is certain load ability to bear, also can realize by the mode of receiving a plurality ofly curve, the series connection of stretching motion.The driving mechanism of this frame for movement can be separated with flexible non-individual body frame for movement, thereby realize the replaceable and secondary driving mechanism of driving mechanism, can drive many secondary this flexibility non-individual body frame for movement.
Specifically, this flexibility non-individual body frame for movement is comprised of a distal structure body, proximal structure body and middle part connector.Distal structure body is associated with proximal structure body via middle part connector.Distal structure body is comprised of far-end space disc, far-end locking plate and structural bone.Proximal structure body is comprised of near-end space disc, near-end locking plate and structural bone.Middle part connector is comprised of pipeline (being preferably rigid conduit) and pipeline fixed head.
Driving mechanism can be connected with proximal structure body and can drive proximal structure body, and under the driving of driving mechanism, proximal structure body can curve and/or stretch towards any direction, and drives thus distal structure body curve and/or stretch towards any direction.
Distal structure body inner structure bone consists of thin elastic rod or elastic tubule, can bearing tension or thrust, and its quantity and distribute and can set according to demand.Far-end locking plate and far-end space disc are rigidity disk-like structure, there is identical via arrangement, on far-end space disc, aperture is slightly larger than structural bone external diameter to guarantee that structural bone can therefrom pass freely through, on far-end locking plate, aperture is partly or entirely slightly less than structural bone external diameter, part or all of structural bone cannot be slided with respect to locking plate, or also can part or all of structural bone be locked on far-end locking plate by other locking device.The shape of far-end locking plate and far-end space disc and the layout in upper hole thereof all can be formulated according to design requirement (simplified example is that far-end locking plate and far-end space disc are circular ring, is along the circumferential direction uniformly distributed several through holes).Between space disc and between space disc and locking plate, keep certain distance, the position that space disc play a role is limiting structure bone and prevent structural bone unstability when being subject to thrust.
Proximal structure body inner structure bone also consists of thin elastic rod or elastic tubule, can bearing tension or thrust, and its quantity can be set according to demand.Near-end locking plate and near-end space disc are rigidity disk-like structure, there is identical via arrangement, on near-end space disc, aperture is slightly larger than structural bone external diameter to guarantee that structural bone can therefrom pass freely through, on near-end locking plate, aperture is partly or entirely slightly less than structural bone external diameter, and part or all of structural bone cannot be slided with respect to locking plate.The shape of near-end locking plate and near-end space disc and the layout in upper hole thereof all can be set according to design requirement (simplified example is that near-end locking plate and near-end space disc are circular ring, is along the circumferential direction uniformly distributed several through holes).Between the space disc of proximal structure body and between space disc and locking plate, keep certain distance, the position that space disc play a role is limiting structure bone and prevent structural bone unstability when being subject to thrust.
Middle part connector interior conduit is fixed by more than two or two pipeline fixed heads, and the shape of pipeline, sensing, length, crooked situation, drift condition all can be set arbitrarily.The quantity of pipeline can be set according to the quantity of distal structure bone and proximal structure bone.Continuum Structure bone runs through the pipeline in the connector of middle part; One end extends in distal structure body, through far-end space bar, is fixed on far-end locking plate; The other end extends in proximal structure body, through near-end space bar, is fixed on near-end locking plate.
When middle part connector keeps fixedly, because each structural bone length can be measured, can estimate or constant, curve proximal structure body and will make distal structure body curve round about, always curving arbitrarily of distal structure body can realize by corresponding the curving of proximal structure body.Proximal structure body can also increase its length by driving, the corresponding shortening of the length of distal structure body, and vice versa.In a word, distal structure body curves and stretches to any direction, all can be realized by the respective drive of proximal structure body.Distal structure body can be more large and small or approximate than proximal structure body on Outside Dimensions, to adapt to the performance need of different motion occasion.

The above-mentioned driving mechanism for this kind of non-individual body frame for movement is driven, driving mechanism can be separated with this non-individual body frame for movement, thereby realize the replaceable and secondary driving mechanism of driving mechanism, can drive how secondary non-individual body frame for movement.Driving mechanism is by driving locking plate, driving space disc, drives structure bone and driving fixed disk to form.
Drives structure bone consists of thin elastic rod or elastic tubule, can bearing tension or thrust, its quantity must be more than or equal to 3, can by artificial or by the Mechatronic Systems of automatically controlling to realize, correspondingly push away, roping is moving.Driving locking plate and driving space disc is rigid structure (shape can be circular or non-circular), there is identical via arrangement, driving on space disc aperture to be slightly larger than drives structure bone external diameter can therefrom pass freely through to guarantee drives structure bone, on driving locking plate, aperture is partly or entirely slightly less than drives structure bone external diameter, and part or all of drives structure bone cannot be slided with respect to driving locking plate.
Driving locking plate and driving in fixed disk has large through-hole, and the proximal structure body that can hold non-individual body frame for movement passes through.Drive locking plate and driving fixed disk also can be connected with near-end locking plate in non-individual body frame for movement and the pipeline fixed head of middle part connector respectively by latch.The collaborative push-and-pull of drives structure bone drives and can realize curving arbitrarily and stretching of driving mechanism, in driving mechanism, drive the motion of locking plate to drive the motion of near-end locking plate in this non-individual body frame for movement, thereby realize curving arbitrarily and stretching of proximal structure body, finally realize curving and stretching of distal structure body.
Driving mechanism also can be received becomes more piece driving mechanism to realize the driving to the non-individual body frame for movement after receiving.For example, when non-individual body frame for movement has been received two proximal structure bodies and two distal structure bodies, correspondingly, can be provided with two joint driving mechanisms.After receiving, the drives structure bone of No. two driving mechanisms is fixed on the driving locking plate of No. two driving mechanisms, after passing the driving space disc of No. two driving mechanisms, driving locking plate and driving space disc through a driving mechanism, by artificial or dynamo-electric driving, realize No. two driving mechanisms curve and flexible, thereby drive No. two non-individual body frame for movements proximal structure body curve and flexible, and finally realize No. two non-individual body frame for movements distal structure body curve and flexible.
