Synthesis method of new weakly-coupled 5-DOF compliant parallel mechanism

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Compared with the strongly-coupled parallel mechanism, the weakly-coupled mechanism can realize two kinds of mutually independent motions. In this paper, a new method for type synthesis of weakly-coupled compliant parallel mechanisms is proposed. The synthesis conditions, that is, the synthesis conditions of the shared flexure hinges and synthesis condition of the weakly-coupled, are given. The synthesis process is formulated. From the perspective of mechanism innovation, a new synthesis idea of weakly-coupled CPMs is introduced. New weakly-coupled CPMs without intermediate platform are obtained by sharing the flexure hinges of two compliant parallel mechanisms. To obtain five degree of freedom (5-DOFs) weakly-coupled compliant parallel mechanisms, two kinds of sub-sets of compliant mechanism blocks, a two-rotation and one-translation compliant mechanism and a twotranslation compliant mechanism are proposed. With the proposed synthesis method, two blocks are indirectly connected by sharing flexure hinges to obtain an integral mechanism.
Then, new 5-DOF weakly-coupled compliant parallel mechanisms are proposed by the synthesis conditions. Additionally, finite element simulation is carried out to verify the correctness of the proposed synthesis method. Thirteen new 5-DOF weakly-coupled compliant parallel mechansims have been synthesized, which enriches the compliant parallel mechanism configurations. And, they have simple structure, compact structure, ease of control and light weight.
The synthesized 5-DOF weakly-coupled compliant parallel mechanisms have potential application to pointing, vibration isolation and mirror adjustment platform.
