Innovative application of micro diaphragm vacuum pump in soft mechanical hands

With the continuous progress of technology, miniaturization and intelligence have become the two mainstream trends in technological products. Especially in the field of robotics technology, the emergence of soft robotic arms has broken the inherent form of traditional robotic arms and become a representative of new human-computer interaction methods. In the driving and control of soft robotic arms, micro electric vacuum pump plays a crucial role.

Features of small diaphragm vacuum pump:

Mini vacuum pump is an efficient micro gas transmission device with many characteristics. Firstly, the pump can operate continuously for 24 hours with a lifespan of several thousand hours, providing strong support for its continuous and stable operation in soft mechanical hands. Secondly, its compact size and low noise make it truly portable and compact, providing convenience for the compact design of soft robotic arms.

Design principles of soft robotic arms:

The design inspiration for soft robotic arms comes from organisms in nature, such as octopuses and snakes. It is made of elastic materials and achieves shape changes and action completion through internal pressure changes. When the air pressure increases, the soft robotic arm can contract and bend; When the air pressure decreases, it can return to its original shape.

The combination method of pump and robotic arm:

The combination of dc electric vacuum pump and soft robotic arm is mainly achieved through tracheal connection. The vacuum or positive pressure airflow generated by the pump is transmitted through the trachea to the internal chamber of the soft robotic arm, thereby driving it to complete various actions. This combination method is simple and efficient, providing possibilities for the practical application of soft robotic arms.

Application scenarios and advantages:

The soft robotic arm driven by mini electric vacuum pump has broad application prospects in multiple fields. For example, in the medical field, it can be used for minimally invasive surgery, rehabilitation training, etc; In the field of rescue, it can be used for search and rescue work in narrow spaces; In daily life, it can also be used for tasks such as grabbing and moving. Its advantage lies in the fact that soft robotic arms can flexibly adapt to various complex environments, and the high efficiency, stability, and portability of small electric vacuum pump provides a solid foundation for their widespread use in practical applications.
