ROBOT-ARTICULATOR Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B25J11/00 A61C11/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to robot engineering, particularly to manipulators of industrial robots implemented in medicine as automatic articulators - imitators of lower jaw movement. The robot-articulator consists of a base of a lower and upper jaws and of progressive drives. It is also equipped with guides for progressive pairs (3) connected to the progressive drives designed for facilitation of their rotation around hinges. The hinges are installed between the base of a lower jaw (1) and guiding of the progressive pairs (3). Guides are joined with bases of lower jaw (1) and upper jaw (2). Notably, base of upper jaw (2) is connected to guiding of progressive pairs (3) by means of hinge (4) and is connected with the progressive drives designed for actuating the upper jaw. The progressive drives are secured to pole (11).

EFFECT: facilitating expanded functionality, particularly adjustment according to individual anatomical features of patient, like angle of trajectory incline of motion of temporal low jaw joints, also more accurate reproduction of trajectory of motion due to introduction of additional degrees of freedom.
