Definitions
- aspects of the present invention relate to a flexible wrist-type element and methods of manufacture and use thereof, including variations having an angularly moveable hub housing and a rotatable and operable end effector driven via a drive train having one or more flexible couplings, such as universal-type joints.
- the plurality of joints comprise at least three joints.
- the guide element is movably connected to the body housing, the hub and the plurality of couplings, wherein the guide element further comprises a surface that defines limits for movement of the plurality of couplings, wherein the guide element is movable to a second angle relative to the body housing when the first end of the hub is in the first position defining the first angle relative to the body housing, wherein the second angle is less than the first angle.
- the guide housing is connected to the body housing and the hub via a movable connection with the guide element, and the guide housing is further movably connected to at least one of the plurality of couplings and comprises a support surface supporting the at least one of the plurality of couplings during movement of the first end of the hub to the first position defining the first angle.
- FIG. 6 shows a partial cutaway view of various elements of exemplary flexible couplings and a guide housing, in accordance with aspects of the present invention.
- the flexible coupling elements shown include rigid connecting portions 401 , 402 coupled by a joint 403, forming, for example, a universal- type joint. Angular or other motion of the portion 401 relative to the joint 403 may occur, for example, via bearings 404a, 404b (e.g., ball bearings), and similarly between joint 403 and portion 402.
- portion 401 includes extensions 401a, 401b receivable within slot recess 410a extending about the inner surface of generally cylindrically-shaped guide housing 410. The assembly of portions 401 , 402, and 403 and related components may thereby rotate in direction R 45 , with extensions 401a, 401b traveling within slot 410a.
- control rod or other tendon-like element may be a mechanism to transmit force, such as a link connected between the hub portion 120 and the body housing 110, as shown in Fig 17 below.
- extending pin 411 in the position shown in FIG. 7, is located at distance D 51 from a first end of slot 161
- pin 165 is located a distance D 52 from the first end of the slot 112. The movement of the pin 165 relative to the first end of the slot 112 results from the angled movement of the hub 120 and end effector 140 relative to the housing body 110.
- FIG. 8 contains a partial cutaway view of an exemplary flexible wrist-type element 100, in accordance with aspects of the present invention, having an angularly moved position of the hub 120 relative to the input mechanism 180, in an orientation similar to that of FIG. 4, with the end effector 140 in an open and first rotated position relative to that shown in FIG. 7.
- input mechanism 180 in the position shown in FIG. 8, has slidably moved with flexible couplings 400 in the direction S 6 - I , so as to extend the flexible coupling(s) 400 to a position such that extending pin 411 has moved to a location near the first end of slot 161.
- Guide housing 410, along with flexible coupling(s) 400, has correspondingly slid in direction S ⁇ 2 , relative to the position shown in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 shows a partial cutaway view of the flexible wrist-type element 100 having the angularly moved position of the hub 120 relative to the body portion 110 as shown in FIG. 4, with the end effector 140 in a closed position relative to that shown in FIG. 8.
- FIG. 9 shows that motion of the input mechanism 180 in the direction S 7 i moved flexible coupling(s) 400 in the direction S 72 , as indicated.
- extensions 141a, 141b have moved from the second, more open position (FIG. 8) to the first, more closed position (FIG. 9).
- guide track pin 165 is again freely slidable in slot 112 of extension 111 , so that the overall drive train may slideably reach a least binding or otherwise suitable position.
- FIG. 10 shows a side, partial cutaway section view of the flexible wrist-type element 100 in a position similar to that shown in FIG. 4.
- the view of FIG. 10 is similar to that of FIG. 8, but more clearly shows the outer surface of the hub 120 and sleeve 130.
- a part of the rigid connecting portion 401 is visible in this view.
- FIG. 16 illustrated is another variation of an exemplary "U" shape hub and guide in accordance with aspects of the present invention.
- the hub surrounds a shaft extending through the middle of the hub.
- a pair of U-joint guide link brackets are coupled to the inside of the hub via a dowel extending through a pair of custom bushings. Each dowel is held within the custom bushings by bearing shim spacers and a C-clip.
- the U-joint guide link brackets are connected to an outer link (not shown) limiting the movement of the hub by the dowels sliding in a slot of the outer link.
- the hub includes a housing pivot end coupled to the outer link via a roller pin extending through the housing pivot end. The roller pin is inserted into bushing wheels and held in place with bearing shim spacers and a C-clip. The roller pin slides in the slot of the outer link limiting the movement of the housing pivot end.
- the input shaft 280 as shown in FIG. 17 may also be rotated, for example, in directions R 4 i, which in one aspect correspondingly rotates the constant velocity joints and the end effector in the same direction, however, the connections may also be setup such that rotation of input shaft 280 in one direction causes the joints and/or the end effector to rotate in an opposite direction.
- a rotational input may be transferred to either a rotational or axial output
- an axial input may be transferred to either an axial or rotational output, depending on a configuration of the connecting structures.
