  • Patent number: 12076851
    Abstract: A control device for adhesion and detachment is provided and includes a base, an actuator, and a movement mechanism including a bearing unit, a peeling unit, and an adhesion unit. The peeling unit is a thin sheet with a high elastic modulus and has a first side and a second side that are opposite to each other. An upper surface of the peeling unit is fixed on a lower surface of the bearing unit. The actuator is fixed to the first side of the peeling unit. The adhesion unit is arranged on a lower surface of the peeling unit. The peeling unit bends and elastically deforms from the first side towards the second side under an action of the actuator in such a manner that the adhesion unit moves synchronously. The peeling unit is in a flat state upon a recovery from the elastic deformation.
