Description

The omnibearing movable spherical robot of designs simplification
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of omnibearing movable spherical robot of designs simplification, belong to electromechanical integration technology area.Can be used for fields such as environment detection, Device Diagnostic, military investigation, Extraterrestrial adventure, home entertaining.
Background technology
Ball shape robot is a kind of spherical housing that has, and is the intelligent robot of main motion mode with rolling movement.The quick locomotor activity that it had both had the picture wheeled mobile robot can move in irregular complex-terrain as legged mobile robot again, and motion continuity is strong, and the direction controllability is good, is a kind of very good motion carrier.
First ball shape robot motion that has truly put forward in 1996 (referring to " Motion Control of A Spherical Mobile robot " by people such as Halme, Proceedings ofAMC ' 96-MIE, IEEE, 1996:259-264), this motion is provided with a driving wheel in spherical shell, it rolls in spherical shell by motor-driven, realize the rectilinear motion of robot by the center of gravity that changes spheroid, but shortcoming is to change the direction of motion.After this, constantly occur various new spherical robot device both at home and abroad, several ball shape robot schemes wherein have much representativeness.
Roball a kind of ball shape robot scheme that to be people such as Francois Michaud propose in calendar year 2001 is (referring to " Autonomous Spherical Mobile Robot for Child Development Studies ", IEEETransactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 35 (4): 1-10; The close domestic patent No. is 01241360.7 utility model " ball shape robot "), it hangs weight on the main shaft of crossing the centre of sphere, seesaw as straight line by the motor-driven spherical shell that is installed on the main shaft, vert about spheroid to realize that robot turns to by driving to be offset about weight to make.The control of this scheme is simple, but two motors must overcome the rotary inertia of spherical shell and the rotary inertia of weight respectively, thereby the moment of torsion of electric machine assembly etc. is had relatively high expectations; Simultaneously, owing to two motors are installed in respectively on the main shaft, the transmission mechanism relative complex, and higher in equal quality lower sphere center of gravity.
Application number is 200510011953.9 " omnibearing movable spherical robot ", a motion that is not connected with spherical shell is arranged in spherical shell inside, it rolls in spherical shell by the single wheel tourelle, promote the spheroid moving linearly, by change the relative supporting mechanism of single wheel tourelle towards the omnibearing movable of realizing robot.This scenario-frame is succinct, and is easy for installation, but the single wheel tourelle guarantees with the deadweight that the rolling of spherical shell contacts by motion, thereby the resistance to shock deficiency; Simultaneously, because the randomness of spheroid motion does not have fixed interface on the spherical shell, can not externally carry associate member, charge, must open spherical shell during work such as maintenance, the sealing of spheroid is affected.
The patent No. is 02128933.6 " improved all-direction moving unit for spherical robot ", and an annulus is arranged in spherical shell, and two short supporting axles are stretched out at two, has a motor to drive annulus by gears engaged on the annulus and does relative rolling with spherical shell; Place a major axis on the direction vertical with minor axis in the annulus, the major axis center is provided with balancing weight, and another motor drives the relative rolling around major axis of spherical shell and balancing weight do by gears engaged on the annulus.This scenario-frame is complicated, center of gravity is higher, is difficult to externally carry associate member, and charging waits work to have difficulty with maintenance.
It seems that totally existing ball shape robot scheme is each has something to recommend him, but mostly exist the deficiency that complex structure, Project Realization are difficult, practicality is lower.Particularly, the divertical motion of some device and forward travel coupling make that the state or the attitude of spheroid internal drive mechanism are uncertain, have strengthened the control difficulty; The spheroid center of gravity is higher, makes to climb and the obstacle climbing ability deficiency; No external stability interface or can not carry annex outside spherical shell causes charging with difficult in maintenance, and limits effective use of various environment detection sensors and manipulator, has reduced the practicality of ball shape robot.The problems referred to above have limited applying of ball shape robot to a great extent.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is: propose that a kind of novel structure, control are simple, good stability, practical, have good anti-vibration and a shock resistance, and can omnibearing movable, can outside spherical shell, carry the ball shape robot organization plan of annex, overcome the deficiency of existing scheme.
Technical solution of the present invention is: the omnibearing movable spherical robot of designs simplification comprises spherical shell and inner travel driving unit thereof.Wherein, travel driving unit comprises the circular arc frame that is in vertical state, and at its outside two edge diametric(al) symmetries a pair of minor axis that is connected, minor axis is crossed the centre of sphere and through bearing and spherical shell formation revolute pair; The below of the circular arc frame straight line moving mechanism that is connected, this straight line moving mechanism comprises movable motor, main wheel, counterweight, main wheel is side roll in the spherical shell of the driving lower edge of movable motor, promotes the spheroid rectilinear motion thereby the spheroid center of gravity is moved forward and backward; The upside of circular arc frame turns to controlling organization, this turns to controlling organization is the quality dolly that comprises steamboat and motor internal, drive by steamboat under the driving of portion's motor within it of quality dolly and move, thereby make skew about the spheroid center of gravity realize the control that turns to of ball shape robot along circular arc frame upside groove.
The advantage of this scheme is:
1) simple in structure, cost is lower, is easy to realize;
2) center of gravity is away from the centre of sphere and be in spheroid below all the time, thereby the stability of a system is good, response speed is fast, can realize climbing, domaticly go up motor patterns such as fixed point is static;
3) two motors are controlled the rectilinear motion and the divertical motion of spheroid respectively, and the control mode decoupling zero can realize ball shape robot omnibearing motion and small radius steering; Simultaneously, wheeled type of drive reduces the requirement of characteristics such as Motor torque, is easy to choice of electrical machine;
4) if be respectively equipped with the pressure regulator of regulating main wheel and spherical shell, quality dolly and circular arc bridge joint touch, can effectively improve the motion vibration resistance of ball shape robot in straight line moving mechanism and quality dolly inside;
5) turn to the range of movement of quality dolly in the controlling organization to be limited to the circular arc frame, thereby the line between all electric components winding can not occur, need not to help centralized and unified control by electric slip ring;
6) if the circular arc frame is set to hollow minor axis and stretches out spherical shell at a pair of minor axis that its outside two edge diametric(al) symmetries are connected, then can carry annex (being used to load camera, various attitude or environmental sensor, manipulator, antenna, battery, charging inlet, counterweight etc.), thereby improve the practical value of ball shape robot;
7) when the qi of chong channel ascending adversely encapsulant in spherical shell outer wrap lightweight, it is big that the spherical shell external diameter becomes, and can improve ball shape robot water surface locomotor activity and shock resistance.
