Abstract
The application requirements of the tendon-sheath mechanism in the field of precision machinery are becoming increasingly extensive. However, the contact friction between the tendon and sheath seriously affects the transmission accuracy. In the case of unavoidable friction, optimizing the tendon transmission path to reduce tension loss and elastic deformation has become an important research direction. In this article, the influence law of the tendon transmission path on the tension and displacement transmission is obtained using the two parameters related to the curvature of the transmission path: total bending angle and equivalent tendon length. Then, based on the optimal control theory and minimum principle, the different transmission path solutions of the minimum tension loss, the minimum tendon deformation, and the coupling of tension and displacement are obtained; the numerical optimization method verifies the correctness of the proposed theory. Finally, an optimal design of a tendon-constrained synchronous rotation mechanism for the manipulator is carried out, and the linkage performance is greatly improved by optimizing the transmission path.
