A design idea of flexible hinge under the constraints of bar and plate is proposed to solve the problem that the design method of flexible hinge with single rotation degree of freedom is imperfect and its rotation angle is small
based on the theory of freedom and constraint topologies(FACT). Flexible hinges with large rotational angles are designed according to the proposed design idea. Single rotation degree of freedom flexible hinges under bar constraints are classified based on the concepts of constraint space
intersection point and intersection pitch. The idea of adding bar constraint according to the position of the constraint is applied to the design of flexible hinges under bar constraint. Flexible hinges with single rotation degree of freedom under the plate constraint are classified based on the relationship between plate and bar constraints
and the idea of adding plate constraint is given by considering different effects of the position and the deformation of the plate on flexible hinges. This idea is applied to the design of a bend intersection flexible hinge and a torsion non-intersection flexible hinge. A kind of flexible hinges with single rotation degree of freedom and a large action angle is put forward through a series combination of these two kinds of hinges mentioned above. Finite element simulation and analysis are performed on the rotational angle and the rotational accuracy. It is shown that when the coefficient of safety is 12
the rotational degree of the flexible hinge achieves ±20° and the radial translational stiffness is 43.20 N/m
i.e.
the flexible hinge has a large rotational angle and high translational stiffness. A comparison with the existing flexible hinge shows that the rotational angle of the resulting hinge is larger than that of the existing flexible hinge.
