Abstract

The shape-shifting capability of origami structures provides flexibility and adaptability, maintaining lightweight features. Among many types of origami structures, Kresling origami structures have the unique deployment of folding-with-twisting. This paper investigates Kresling origami bellows for use as pneumatic pumps. One end of the Kresling origami pneumatic bellows is combined with a motor to deliver the torque to twist the bellows, while the rotation of the other end is constrained by a rail for linearly sliding according to the rotation of the motor. The pressure output of the pump is produced by the bellows compression based on this Kresling folding mechanism. Herein, we build up a modeling framework for the Kresling origami pump based on its geometry. After that, the theoretical predictions from the model are validated by comparing them with the experimental results. Finally, we perform parametric studies to offer design insights for Kresling origami bellows in various conditions.

气动泵用Kresling折纸波纹管分析

折纸结构的变形能力提供了灵活性和适应性，保持了轻量级的特点。在众多类型的折纸结构中，Kresling折纸结构具有独特的带捻折叠部署。本文研究了用于气动泵的克雷斯林折纸波纹管。Kresling折纸气动风箱的一端与电机相结合，以提供扭矩来扭转风箱，而另一端的旋转由导轨约束，根据电机的旋转进行线性滑动。泵的压力输出是由基于该克雷斯林折叠机构的波纹管压缩产生的。在此基础上，基于Kresling折纸泵的几何特性，建立了其建模框架。然后，通过与实验结果的比较，验证了模型的理论预测结果。最后，我们进行参数化研究，为各种条件下的Kresling折纸波纹管提供设计见解。
