MANIPULATOR FOR PRODUCING A TRANSLATIONAL MOVEMENT

Manipulator (100; 200, 200') for producing a translational movement from a rotational movement, having a first component (130; 260) in which there is formed a first guide (162) which extends along a trajectory (162') that corresponds substantially to a curve that is curved towards a rotation axis of the first component, said curve extending in an inclined manner with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis (RA) and in an inclined manner with respect to any planes which contain the rotation axis; a second component (120; 250) with at least three first joint interfaces (142b, 144b, 146b, 148b; 213, 217, 219) in a first joint plane (131); a third component (110; 210) with at least three second joint interfaces (122b, 124b, 126b, 128b; 212, 214, 216, 218) in a second joint plane (121), wherein the at least three first joint interfaces and the at least three second joint interfaces are arranged in a congruent manner with one another and the first and the second joint planes are parallel to one another; and at least three deflection levers (112, 114, 116, 118; 222, 224, 226, 228) which are each connected in an articulated manner to a third joint interface (142a, 144a, 146a, 148a) by a particular one of the at least three first joint interfaces (142b, 144b, 146b, 148b) and are each connected in an articulated manner to a fourth joint interface (122a, 124a, 126a, 128a) by a particular one of the at least three second joint interfaces (122b, 124b, 126b, 128b), wherein a first of the deflection levers (112) has a first guide following section (152) which is mounted in the first guide (162); wherein the manipulator is configured such that the first component (130) and the second component (120) are rotatable about the rotation axis (RA) with respect to one another by the rotational movement, with the result that the third component (110) is moved translationally by the first guide following section (152) being guided in the first guide (162).
