摘要

Multi-stable structures can be reconfigured with fewer, lightweight, and less accurate actuators. This is because the attraction domain in the multi-stable energy landscape provides both reconfiguration guidance and shape accuracy. Additionally, such structures can generate impulsive motion due to structural instability. Most multi-stable units are planar structures, while spatial linkages can generate complex 3D motion and hold a more promising potential for applications. This study proposes a generalized approach to design a type of intrinsically multi-stable spatial (IMSS) linkages with multiple prescriptible configurations, which are structurally compatible, and naturally stable at these states. It reveals that all over-constrained mechanisms can be transformed into multi-stable structures with the same design method. Single-loop bi-stable 4R and quadra-stable 6R spatial linkages modules with intrinsic non-symmetric stable states, which are transformed from fundamental kinematic linkage mechanisms unit such as Bennett and Bricard linkages, are designed to illustrate the basic idea and the superiority over the ordinary methods. Multi-loop assembly by these IMSS linkage modules shows potential for practical applications that are required for the deployability and impulsivity of reconfiguration. Two preliminary design cases of a deployable tube and an impulsive gripper are experimentally presented to validate this applicability. Further promisingly, this design method of IMSS linkages paves the way for morphing platforms with lightweight actuation, high shape accuracy, high stiffness, and prescribed impulsive 3D motion.
