近年来，由于日本社会老龄化和少子化，老年人护理成为一个重要问题。因此，有必要开发可穿戴系统来辅助护理。为了实现该系统，我们不仅需要可穿戴的软执行器，还需要紧凑且灵活的控制阀来驱动气动人工肌肉等软执行器。我们研究的目的是开发一种灵活、轻便、紧凑的控制阀，能够足够安全地附着在人体上。在这项研究中，我们提出并测试了一种新型控制阀。该阀门由振动电机和止回阀组成，止回阀由钢球和柔性管中的孔口制成。阀门的工作原理如下。该阀门作为止回阀的功能通常关闭。当施加振动时，止回阀中的内球移动并且阀门打开。通过给予连续振动，阀门可以保持打开状态。结果，我们发现该阀门与其重量和尺寸相比可以控制相对较大的流量。
Recently, due to the ageing in Japanese society and the decreasing birthrate, an important problem of providing nursing care for the elderly has occurred. As a result, it is necessary to develop wearable systems to aid in nursing care. To realize the system, we require not only wearable soft actuators, but also compact and flexible control valve that can drive the soft actuator such as a pneumatic artificial muscle. The purpose of our study is to develop a flexible, lightweight and compact control valve which can be safe enough to be attached to the human body. In this study, we proposed and tested a new type of control valve. The valve consists of a vibration motor and a check valve that made of a steel ball and an orifice in flexible tube. The operating principle of the valve is as follows. The valve is normally closed as a function of check valve. When the vibration is applied, the inner ball in the check valve moves and the valve opens. By giving continuous vibration, the valve can keep open. As a result, we find that the valve can control the relatively larger flow rate compared to their weight and size.
