QUATERNION JOINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240227211 titled 'QUATERNION JOINT

The abstract describes a patent application for a quaternion joint, which consists of a first member and a second member connected through links. The first member has a plurality of first pulleys that can swing, while the second member has a corresponding plurality of second pulleys that can also swing. Wires are hung between the first and second pulleys, allowing for movement between the two members.

  • The quaternion joint includes a first member and a second member connected through links.
  • The first member has a plurality of swinging first pulleys, while the second member has corresponding swinging second pulleys.
  • Wires are hung between the first and second pulleys to facilitate movement between the two members.
  • The rotation shaft of the first pulley is offset from the rotation shaft of the corresponding second pulley, allowing for rotation in the direction of the extended wire.

Potential Applications: - Robotics - Mechanical engineering - Industrial automation

Problems Solved: - Facilitates rotational movement between connected members - Allows for precise control and coordination in mechanical systems

Benefits: - Improved flexibility and range of motion - Enhanced precision and control in mechanical operations - Potential for increased efficiency in various applications

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Quaternion Joint Technology for Enhanced Mechanical Systems" This technology could be used in robotic arms, conveyor systems, and other industrial machinery to improve precision and flexibility in movement.

Questions about Quaternion Joint Technology: 1. How does the quaternion joint technology improve mechanical systems?

  - The quaternion joint technology enhances precision and control in mechanical operations by facilitating rotational movement between connected members.

2. What are the potential applications of quaternion joint technology in different industries?

  - Quaternion joint technology can be applied in robotics, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation for improved flexibility and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

a quaternion joint includes a first member, a second member rotatably connected to the first member through links, a plurality of first pulleys provided on the end face of the first member so that the first pulleys are able to swing, a plurality of second pulleys provided on the end face of the second member facing the end face of the first members so that the second pulleys correspond to the first pulleys and so that the second pulleys are able to swing, and a plurality of wires hung between the first pulleys and the second pulleys corresponding to the first pulleys. a rotation shaft of the first pulley is offset from a rotation shaft of the second pulley corresponding to the first pulley in a state in which the rotation shaft of the first pulley is rotated around a direction in which the wire is extended.
