Design and optimization of expanding mechanism of intestinal robot
A new-type expanding mechanism with Variable Diameter Ratio (VDR) is designed to satisfy requirements of intestinal robot movement and anchoring in the intestine tract. With the double-stacked folding design of the mechanism
the contact area with intestine tract is increased. The maximum expanding radius reaches to 24.5 mm
and VDR increases to 3.27. To further study the performance of the expanding mechanism
the mathematical model of the expanding arm is established to analyze the mechanical and kinematic properties of the expanding arm. Then
the dynamics of the expanding arm is simulated by using the finite element analysis (FEA) and the stress distribution and the trend of the expanding arm with different expanding radius are studied. Optimization design of expanding arm is conducted based on the results of FEA
and maximum of equivalent stress after optimization reduced by 12.89% than that before optimization. Subsequently
the kinematics of the expanding arm is simulated by ADAMS and the kinematics model is verified. Finally
the mechanical performance test platform is established to test its expanding force and verify its mechanical model. Experimental result indicates:the variation trend of experimental value and theoretical value is basically the same
and experimental value is less than theoretical value; the error is large in initial stage of mechanism expanding
and experimental value is only 14.30% of theoretical value when expanding radius is 7.5 mm
After that
the error drastically decreases and the mechanism tends to be stable
and experimental value is 73.64% of theoretical value on average when expanding radius is 10 mm-23 mm; Actual expanding radius are respectively 24.5
24 and 23 mm for expanding arms 1
2 and 3. Designed expanding mechanism of intestinal tract basically satisfies design requirements of intestinal tract safety and large VDR
and structural optimization effect is significant.
