Description

Imitative gecko adhesive toe of a kind of robot and movement technique thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to the bio-robot technical applications, be specifically related to a kind of structure design and using method thereof of imitative gecko toe, be mainly used in the imitative gecko climbing robot sole design to realize climbing the wall motion.
Background technology
Gecko can freedom and flexibility ground motion on different normal planes such as ground, cliff, top ceiling.This motion feature ability of gecko becomes the object that scientist studies imitation.Climbing robot can be in the precipitous vertical general work of danger, cleans at the mansion outer wall, boats and ships detect, field such as maintenance has purposes widely outside the space capsule, thereby is subjected to the attention of each developed country.The imitative gecko climbing robot that can creep on vertical wall and top ceiling as gecko is to compare one of the hot issue in forward position among the bionic machine people in the world at present.Adsorption technology is the core technology that gecko-emulated robot realizes climbing wall, and at present both at home and abroad through after years of researches and the development, existing climbing robot mainly contains magnetic and echos suction type absorption mode on suction type.Now do introduction with regard to the present Research of this technology and association area and the merits and faults of experimental prototype:
(1) BJ University of Aeronautics ﹠ Astronautics's robot research developed a kind of can ground, the wall transition the imitative gecko Four-feet creeping robot (patent No.: CNI01353064A).This robot adopts the Four-feet creeping mode, is made up of mechanics and circuit part, and mechanics is made of health and four limbs, is divided in two parts, and symmetry connects by moving sets between two parts fully.The adhesion mode that this robot adopts is the absorption of actv. electromagnetic type.Electromagnetism absorption is to be adsorbed on the adherent surface by magnetic force, and adsorption affinity is big, but requires the adherent surface magnetic conduction.And robot needs in moving process to the electromagnet power supply, and is very big to the power demands of robot.
(2) the patent wall gecko imitation mini-robot of professor Wang Liquan of the Harbin Engineering University application (patent No.: CN 1947959A) adopted initiatively vacuum suction mode.Physical construction comprises the single leg structure of bionical gecko, gecko-emulated robot health package assembly and negative-pressure adsorption and puts pressure device that the single leg of bionical gecko is made up of thigh, shank and sucker.Single leg is driven by 3 steering wheels, and body structure comprises that two waists driving steering wheels, two air pumps, two gases put pressure device, two four-way gas-tpe fittings and six formations such as plastics conductor tube.The vacuum suction mode is the adsorption structure complexity not only, instability, and, therefore environment is had bigger limitation because such suction type requires the smooth easy sealing of adherent surface.
In based on dryness adhesion mode, the research group of the professor mark of Stanford Univ USA Cutkosky develops gecko robot Stickybot (Daltorio, 2005; Carlo Menon, 2004).This robot can imitate gecko on structure and suction type, have the artificial bristle that elastomeric material is made on its sole, and it is that famous Van der Waals force " holds " wall that every bristle can both utilize molecular force.These small polymer pulvinus can guarantee that vola and wall area of contact are big, and then make Van der Waals viscosity reach maximization.But the manufacture craft difficulty of this adhesion material is big, the manufacturing cost height.The adsorption power of dryness adhesion at present is still mutually far short of what is expected compared with true gecko, and the but easily loss of difficulty of processing height.This robot rotates the steering wheel driving span wire system of sole simultaneously, realizes sole desorption and adhesion.This active adhesion mode needs additional potential line mechanism and backguy drive motor independently, has also increased the complexity of system when therefore realizing.
Traditional adhesion material, because its identical adhesion material has identical adhesion property, adhesive force and desorption power are constant when directly using, (might cause clinging the back does not break away from the adhesive force of identical size and the desorption power of identical size promptly can to occur, also might cause initially just fail to stick at all), reversing sense has the characteristic of less desorption power to having big adhesive force to be unfavorable for simulating the gecko folk prescription.
Above-mentioned active drive is climbed the wall mode, has increased the complexity and the energy consumption of system, and magnetic echos adhesive force such as negative-pressure adsorption and desorption power is constant, can not simulate fully that direction of gecko has big adhesive force and other direction has the characteristic of less desorption power.

The object of the present invention is to provide imitative gecko adhesive toe of a kind of robot and movement technique thereof, be somebody's turn to do imitative gecko toe applicable in imitative gecko climbing robot sole design that adheres at smooth surface and the motion realization, according to its special cantilever structure characteristics, adopt driven mode, folk prescription can be provided, and reversing sense has the characteristic of less desorption power to having big adhesive force, can simulate this mechanics anisotropy characteristics of gecko folk prescription fully, and be applied in the gecko-emulated robot to bigger adhesive force and the less desorption power of reversing sense.
Scheme one:
A kind of robot is imitated the gecko adhesive toe, and it is characterized in that: toe integral body is tabular; Toe comprises the substrate of flexible material toe, is embedded in the viscous material layer of flexible material toe substrate, and the bottom surface of above-mentioned viscous material layer is consistent with flexible material toe substrate bottom surface height; Also be provided with spring layer on the substrate of flexible material toe, spring layer front end rear end is fixed with flexible material toe substrate front end rear end respectively; The substrate of above-mentioned flexible material toe is at position, toe tip and toe heel position cohesionless material
Because its special cantilever structure characteristics help overcoming less desorption mechanical resistance power and just can realize desorption, have possessed the characteristics of less desorption power; Simultaneously toe adheres to the back when the parallel direction backward of adhesive surface applies application force, can produce bigger adhesive force, has therefore possessed big adhesive force characteristics.Reversing sense has the requirement of less desorption power to having big adhesive force can to satisfy folk prescription, can simulate this mechanics anisotropy characteristics of gecko folk prescription to bigger adhesive force and the less desorption power of reversing sense fully.
The movement technique of the imitative gecko adhesive toe of above-mentioned robot is characterized in that: (1), driving toe root are realized the motion of X and Y direction; (2), the toe adhesion process, may further comprise the steps: toe contacts earlier the toe point with to adhere to smooth surface angled with smooth surface; After beginning contact, the toe root moves to smooth surface, and toe root motion process carries out along an arcuate movement track that protrudes to toe point direction, and this mode provides main adhesive force by near the toe root in the middle of toe; The degree of crook of the above-mentioned arching trajectory adhesive force that has the greatest impact, the adhesion characteristics of adhesion material obtains according to experiment test, and the path of motion of big adhesive force is provided to provide according to the engineering application needs; (3), the toe desorption process, may further comprise the steps: the toe root obliquely and angled forward makes toe root elder generation desorption in the early stage; Behind the beginning desorption, the toe root becomes certain arching trajectory motion to make progressively desorption of whole toe forward; The degree of crook of the above-mentioned arching trajectory desorption power that has the greatest impact, the adhesion characteristics of adhesion material obtains according to experiment test, and the path of motion of less desorption power is provided to provide according to the engineering application needs.
The arcuate movement track of above-mentioned adhesion will greatly have the greatest impact the size of adhesive force, simultaneously the arching trajectory of desorption also will have influence on the size of maximum desorption power, in actual applications, selection can produce the path of motion of big adhesive force and less desorption power.The material of the adhesive attraction that flat adhesive toe is risen in adhesion process mainly is distributed in the adhesive toe middle part by near the toe root.
Scheme two::
A kind of robot is imitated the gecko adhesive toe, and it is characterized in that: toe integral body is half arc; Toe comprises the substrate of flexible material toe, is embedded in the viscous material layer of flexible material toe substrate, and the bottom surface of above-mentioned viscous material layer is consistent with flexible material toe substrate bottom surface height; Also be provided with spring layer on the substrate of flexible material toe, spring layer front end rear end is fixed with flexible material toe substrate front end rear end respectively; The above-mentioned flexible material toe substrate front and back length of viscous material layer that is embedded with is greater than length before and after the above-mentioned spring layer; The substrate of flexible material toe is arch and is positioned on the spring layer; The substrate of above-mentioned flexible material toe is at position, toe tip and toe heel position cohesionless material.
Based on above-mentioned similar cantilever structure characteristics, also has big adhesive force and reversing sense has less desorption Z-TEK point, because it is bigger that half arcuate structure makes in the distortion of adhesion process medi-spring layer, help to overcome littler desorption power after having increased the pretension of spring, reversing sense has the requirement of less desorption power to having big adhesive force to better meet folk prescription, can simulate this mechanics anisotropy characteristics of gecko folk prescription to bigger adhesive force and the less desorption power of reversing sense fully.
The movement technique of the imitative gecko adhesive toe of above-mentioned robot is characterized in that: (1), driving toe root are realized the motion of X and Y direction; (2), toe adheres to the following three kinds of modes that comprise, select corresponding manner according to the required adhesive force of reality size: (2-1), toe is parallel shape with the adhesion smooth surface and begins to contact, begin to contact the hallux root and move to smooth surface, this mode provides main adhesive force at the toe centre portion; (2-2), toe is angled the beginning with the adhesion smooth surface and contacts, and makes the contact earlier of toe front end, begins to contact the hallux root and moves to smooth surface, this mode rear end in toe provides main adhesive force; (2-3), under the situation of mode (2-1) or mode (2-2), make toe toe root that one back and forth movement process is arranged when smooth surface moves again, this mode is held before, during and after toe all provides adhesive force; (3), the toe desorption comprises following process: the toe root obliquely and angled forward makes toe root elder generation desorption in the early stage; Behind the beginning desorption, the toe root becomes certain arching trajectory motion to make progressively desorption of whole toe forward; The degree of crook of the above-mentioned arching trajectory desorption power that has the greatest impact, the adhesion characteristics of adhesion material obtains according to experiment test, and the path of motion of less desorption power is provided to provide according to the engineering application needs.
Because the flexibility characteristics of half arc toe structure, when adhering to according to mode (2-1), because the centre portion of toe provides main adhesive force, therefore total adhesive force is less relatively; When adhering to according to mode (2-2), because the posterior part of toe provides main adhesive force, therefore total adhesive force is medium relatively; When adhering to according to mode (2-3), owing to part before, during and after the toe provides main adhesive force, therefore total adhesive force is relatively large; Half arcuate structure has increased the pretension of spring, becomes certain arching trajectory motion to make progressively desorption of whole toe forward; The selection of above-mentioned adhesion and desorption mode can be selected according to actual requirement of engineering.
Scheme three:
A kind of robot is imitated the gecko adhesive toe, it is characterized in that: toe integral body is the arch spatial structure of crooked 180 degree, and arch configuration is followed successively by spring layer, the substrate of flexible material toe from inside to outside, and the substrate of flexible material toe and spring layer are fixed in adhesive toe toe heel position by terminal anchor fitting; The above-mentioned flexible material toe substrate outside also is embedded with viscous material layer; And the outside face of above-mentioned viscous material layer and flexible material toe outer surfaces of substrates are on same curved surface; The substrate of above-mentioned flexible material toe is at position, toe tip and toe heel position cohesionless material.
Based on above-mentioned similar cantilever structure characteristics, also has big adhesive force and reversing sense has less desorption Z-TEK point, because it is bigger that full arc shape structure makes in the distortion of adhesion process medi-spring layer, help to overcome littler desorption power after having increased the pretension of spring biglyyer, reversing sense has the requirement of less desorption power to having big adhesive force to satisfy folk prescription better, can simulate this mechanics anisotropy characteristics of gecko folk prescription to bigger adhesive force and the less desorption power of reversing sense fully.Have adhesion material in conjunction with full arc shape structure bottom and top layer, can realize the adhesion on former and later two directions respectively, can select the path of motion of certain adhesive force action direction of needs according to actual condition.
The movement technique of the imitative gecko adhesive toe of above-mentioned robot is characterized in that: (1), driving toe root are realized the motion of X and Y direction; (2), toe adheres to and comprises following dual mode, according to the required selection corresponding manner of reality: (2-1), toe and adhesion smooth surface be vertical configuration, the no adhesion material of toe toe point position is contacted earlier with smooth surface, beginning to contact the oblique back of hallux root moves to smooth surface, this mode adheres in toe bottom and smooth surface, and total adhesive force direction backward; (2-2), toe and adhesion smooth surface are vertical configuration, the no adhesion material of toe toe point position is contacted earlier with smooth surface, begin to contact the smooth apparent motion of the oblique forward direction of hallux root, this mode adheres at toe top and smooth surface, and total adhesive force direction forward; (3), the toe desorption process comprises following dual mode, according to the required selection corresponding manner of reality: (3-1), if the toe adhesion process adopts mode (2-1), then the toe root obliquely and angled forward makes toe root elder generation desorption in the early stage; After toe began desorption, the toe root became certain arching trajectory motion to make progressively desorption of whole toe forward, and total desorption power forward; (3-2), if the toe adhesion process adopts mode (2-2), then the toe root obliquely and angled backward makes toe root elder generation desorption in the early stage; After toe began desorption, the toe root became certain arching trajectory motion to make progressively desorption of whole toe backward, and total desorption power forward; The degree of crook of the above-mentioned arching trajectory desorption power that has the greatest impact, the adhesion characteristics of adhesion material obtains according to experiment test, and the path of motion of less desorption power is provided to provide according to the engineering application needs.
Because full arc shape toe structure has bottom and top layer adhesive surface, when adhering to according to mode (2-1), because the bottom of toe provides main adhesive force, at this moment total adhesive force direction backward; When adhering to according to mode (2-2), because the top of toe provides main adhesive force, at this moment total adhesive force direction forward; According to mode (3-1) with (3-2) during desorption, the adhesive force direction is opposite with the desorption force direction; The selection of above-mentioned adhesion and desorption mode can be selected according to actual requirement of engineering.
When above three kinds of schemes, experiment showed by scheme one adhesion and desorption, adhesive force was medium relatively, and desorption power is medium relatively; By (2-1) in the scheme two, (2-2) and (2-3) when mode adheres to adhesive force relative medium, bigger and maximum respectively, desorption power is less relatively during by scheme two desorptions; By (2-1) in the scheme three, (2-2) when mode adheres to adhesive force medium relatively, desorption power is minimum relatively during by (3-1) in the scheme three, (3-2) mode desorption.
Such scheme one, scheme two, three kinds of spring layers of scheme can be the spring of a bending 180 degree; And both ends are fixed by terminal anchor fitting and the substrate of flexible material toe after merging behind the spring bending.The effect of spring is to provide the rigidity of small quantity, therefore adopts general steel disc (as having the rigidity of small quantity) equally also can implement, and more can select the steel disc of proper stiffness with practical requirement according to operating mode.
Therefore, adhesive toe presents different structures, moves with desorption in conjunction with different adhesions and can realize the performance requriements of different adhesive forces and desorption power.
The present invention compared with prior art has following advantage:
1, the present invention can simulate the anisotropy characteristics (reversing sense has the characteristic of less desorption power to folk prescription to having big adhesive force) of gecko toe adhesive force, for imitative gecko climbing robot exercise testing provides important mechanical test environment.
2, adhesive toe of the present invention is simple in structure, principle of work is clear, easy to process, economically feasible.
3, adhesive toe volume of the present invention is little, in light weight, satisfies imitative gecko climbing robot Structural Design Requirement, realizes climbing the wall motion for imitative gecko climbing robot necessary equipment guarantee is provided.
4, adhesive toe of the present invention belongs to passive type (need not the active drive mode) adhesion mode, be different from that traditional magnetic is attached, negative-pressure adsorption mode etc., the equipment that has reduced active drive requires and energy consumption, has reduced to climb the control difficulty of wall motion, helps robot architecture's integrated design.
