Because Fibre Optical Sensor 118a, 118b adopt the form of the flexible lamellar body of directions X shearing stress sensor parts 132, Y direction shearing stress sensor parts 134 and Z direction strain gauge parts 136, thus Fibre Optical Sensor 118a, 118b can be installed in can be on the surface of arm 16a, 16b of random desired shape.

Figure 19 illustrates the robot system 110 of the Fibre Optical Sensor 118a, the 118b that are combined with said structure with the form of block diagram.
As shown in Figure 19, offer each directions X shearing stress sensor parts 132, Y direction shearing stress sensor parts 134 or the Z direction strain gauge parts 136 of Fibre Optical Sensor 118a, 118b from one of half-silvered mirror 62a, 62b by selecting with the time sharing mode of the light of light source 58 emission, 62c by light beam switch 60.
Light enters into their optical fiber 138,144 or 150 (referring to Figure 17) from an end of directions X shearing stress sensor parts 132, Y direction shearing stress sensor parts 134 or Z direction strain gauge parts 36.Part light is by grating 140,146 or 152 reflections, and remaining light then arrives by grating 140,146 or 152 and sends optical terminus load 64a, 64b or 64c.
Be directed to the reflected light detector 66 of Fibre Optical Sensor controller 20 by grating 140,146 or 152 beam reflected by half-silvered mirror 62a, 62b or 62c, its detection and transform the light beam into electric signal.Reflected light detector 66 comprises spectroscope, the light beam that it is used for beam split and detects applied respective wavelength.The electric signal that converts from directions X shearing stress sensor parts 132 and Y direction shearing stress sensor parts 134 beam reflected is provided for shear stress counter 178, and the electric signal that converts from Z direction strain gauge parts 136 beam reflected is provided for perpendicular stress counter 180.
The electric signal that converts based on 140 beam reflected of grating and according to shift amount and direction of displacement from the wavelength of 140 beam reflected of adjacent gratings from directions X shearing stress sensor parts 132, shear stress counter 178 calculates the size and Orientation that is applied to the shear stress of directions X shearing stress sensor parts 132 in the position corresponding to adjacent gratings 140, as the situation among Fig. 5 and Fig. 7.Similarly, the electric signal that converts based on 140 beam reflected of grating from Y direction shearing stress sensor parts 134 and according to shift amount and direction of displacement from the wavelength of 146 beam reflected of adjacent gratings, shear stress counter 178 calculates the size and Orientation that is applied to the shear stress of Y direction shearing stress sensor parts 134 in each position corresponding to adjacent gratings 146.Can detect object 12 slip with respect to arm 16a, 16b X-Y plane from the size and Orientation that calculates.
Because grating 140,146 is arranged in the two-dimensional matrix of X-Y plane, so shear stress counter 178 can be based on determining that by the positional information of grating 140,146 detected slips and grating 140,146 slip in X-Y plane distributes.
The electric signal that converts based on 152 beam reflected of grating from Z direction strain gauge parts 136 and according to the shift amount from the wavelength of 152 beam reflected of each grating of Z direction strain gauge parts 136, perpendicular stress counter 180 calculates the size that is applied to the perpendicular stress of Z direction strain gauge parts 136 in each position corresponding to grating 52.Can detect the grasp force that on Z-direction, is applied to object 12 from the size of the perpendicular stress that calculates by arm 16a, 16b.Because grating 152 is arranged in the two-dimensional matrix of X-Y plane, so perpendicular stress counter 180 can be based on determining that by the positional information of grating 152 detected grasp forces and grating 152 grasp force in the X-Y plane distributes.
As shown in Figure 20, when shear stress F was applied to flexible member 156 on optical fiber 138 or 144, the shear stress initial action was elongated straight portion 158 thus on the straight portion 158 of flexible member 156.
As mentioned above, the elastic modulus of sloping portion 162a, 162b and joint 164a, 164b is lower than the elastic modulus of straight portion 158.Therefore, sloping portion 162a, 162b are increased in the angle that forms between straight portion 158 and sloping portion 162a, the 162b around them to the junction of straight portion 158 angularly away from each other thus.In other words, sloping portion 162a, 162b expand away from each other, are shifted joint 164a, 164b thus away from each other.The result is that the angle that forms between sloping portion 162a, 162b and joint 164a, 164b is reduced.
Because joint 164a, 164b are shifted and away from each other, so optical fiber 138 or 144 is elongated along its longitudinal axis, expands the grating cycle of grating 140 or 146 thus.Kuo Zhan the grating cycle also is uniformly along the longitudinal axis of optical fiber 138 or 144 basically thus, because displacement and away from each other two joint 164a, 164b elongate optical fiber 138 or 144 along its longitudinal axis.
Therefore, flexible member 156 direction that is used for the shear stress that will apply is transformed into the direction of the longitudinal axis that is parallel to optical fiber 138 or 144 from the direction of the longitudinal axis that is substantially perpendicular to optical fiber 138 or 144.
As shown in Figure 22, if suppose when shear stress F is applied to flexible member 156, stress F1, F2 act on sloping portion 162a, 162b respectively, and stress F3, F4 act on joint 164a, 164b respectively, and then grating 140,146 is expanded by the power F3 that equals stress F1, F2 respectively, F4.If the angle that forms between the direction of shear stress F effect and sloping portion 162a, 162b is represented with α, the equation (3) below then shear stress F, stress F1, F2 and angle [alpha] satisfy:
F1=F2=Fcosα ...(3)
Because the angle that forms between the longitudinal axis of the direction of stress F2 and optical fiber 138 or 144 represented by 90 °-α, thus act on optical fiber 138 or 144 and joint 164a, 164b on power F3, F4 express by following equation (4):
F3=F4=F2cos(90°-α)
=F2sinα
=Fcosαsinα ...(4)
Owing to be equal to each other at angle θ 1 that forms between sloping portion 162a and the joint 164a and the angle θ 2 that between sloping portion 162b and joint 164b, forms, so stress F1 equals stress F2 and stress F3 equals power F4.Have elastic constant E and strain stress if suppose optical fiber 138 or 144, the equation (5) below then satisfying:
ε=(2/E)Fcosαsinα ...(5)
If suppose that the raster count of grating 140 or 146 is represented by N and the variation in the grating space of grating 140 or 146 is represented with Δ, the equation (6) below then raster count N and grating space Δ satisfy:
Δ=ε/(N-1) ...(6)
By with the ε in equation (5) the substitution equation (6), equation (6) can be expressed according to following equation (7):
Δ=2Fcosαsinα/[E×(N-1)] ...(7)
Therefore, can determine wavelength-shift λ by following equation (8):
λ=2×n eff×Δ
=4×n eff×Fcosαsinα/[E×(N-1)] ...(8)
Therefore according to the unique definite peak value waveform of shear stress F.
When shear stress is applied to the straight portion 158 that is positioned at the position that is shifted the longitudinal center position of leaving straight portion 158, for example when shear stress is applied to end near the straight portion 158 of sloping portion 162b, above-described phenomenon also occurs, as shown in Figure 21.Particularly, when shear stress was applied to the end of straight portion 158 close sloping portion 162b, straight portion 158 was elongated towards sloping portion 162a.Sloping portion 162a, 162b make joint 164a, 164b away from each other angledly away from each other thus.The result is that optical fiber 138 or 144 is elongated, and has expanded the grating space of grating 140 or 146.As shown in Figure 21, grating 140 or 146 grating space expansion equally basically.
Although do not illustrate, above-mentioned phenomenon also occurs in when shear stress is applied to the end of straight portion 158 close sloping portion 162a.
Because grating 140 or 146 is expanded, thereby the grating space is expansion equally basically, grating 140 or 146 does not reflect a plurality of light beams (referring to Figure 32) with different wave length, but reflection has the light beam of such wavelength: this wavelength is different from the wavelength of beam reflected before grating 140 or 146 is expanded, as shown in Figure 30.
If differ from one another at angle θ 1 that forms between sloping portion 162a and the joint 164a and the angle θ 2 that between sloping portion 162b and joint 164b, forms, then can carry out following calculating:
Represent with α, β respectively if suppose the angle that between the direction of shear stress F effect and sloping portion 162a, 162b, forms, and sloping portion 162a, 162b have separately stress ε 1, ε 2, equation (9), (10) below then satisfying:
ε1=F3/E
=Fcosαsinα/E ...(9)
ε2=F4/E
=Fcosβsinβ/E ...(10)
Because total stress ε equals ε 1+ ε 2, so the equation (11) below satisfying:
ε=ε1+ε2
=(Fcosαsinα+Fcosβsinβ)/E ...(11)
By with the ε in equation (11) the substitution equation (6), express equation (6) according to following equation (12):
Δ=(Fcosαsinα+Fcosβsinβ)/[E×(N-1)] ...(12)
Therefore, wavelength-shift λ can determine by following equation (13):
λ=2×n eff×Δ
=2×n eff×(Fcosαsinα+Fcosβsinβ)/[E×(N-1)] ...(13)
When perpendicular stress is applied to optical fiber 150, will operate with above-mentioned same way as according to the Fibre Optical Sensor of the 3rd embodiment.Determine to depend on the peak value waveform of perpendicular stress to the equation of (13) according to being similar to above-mentioned equation (4).
According to the 3rd embodiment, as mentioned above, when expansion grating 140,146 and 152, the expansion equably basically of corresponding grating space, and come to determine uniquely the wavelength of displacement according to the stress that applies.Therefore, the stress that can apply with the accuracy measurement that increases.
