Summary of the invention
The present invention proposes the dual threshold detection system of a kind of multi-foot robot ground contact force and adopts this detection system that multi-foot robot ground contact force is carried out the method that dual threshold detects.This detection system comprises multi-foot robot foot passive compliance device and testing circuit, and said multi-foot robot foot passive compliance device comprises force sensing resistance, back-moving spring and rubber cylinder pad; Said force sensing resistance places the top of said multi-foot robot foot passive compliance device; Said back-moving spring is connected with said force sensing resistance; Said rubber cylinder pad is pressed on the surface of said force sensing resistance;
Said testing circuit comprises voltage comparator, divider resistance R MAnd resistance R 2
Force sensing resistance in the said multi-foot robot foot passive compliance device is connected between the positive input of voltage V+ and voltage comparator of said testing circuit;
Said divider resistance R MBe connected in and said force sensing resistance between, form a bleeder circuit;
Said resistance R 2Be connected in the positive input and the output terminal of voltage comparator, form the positive-feedback circuit of a homophase input.
This detection method realizes by force sensing resistance, testing circuit and foot passive compliance device, and the force sensing resistance that is wherein adopted is a kind ofly can change resistance and resistance easy-to-install, lamella shape through the variation of surface pressing rapidly; Testing circuit adopts voltage comparator, adopts the positive feedback voltage comparator circuit of homophase input, and the input voltage of the anode of voltage comparator connects force sensing resistance and a divider resistance R M, come the anode input voltage of regulation voltage comparer through the variation of force sensing resistance resistance; The negative terminal of voltage comparator meets voltage V-, voltage comparator U 1Can adopt LM358 or LM324 etc. to have the electronic component of the big device of two computings, in addition, between the anode of voltage comparator and output terminal, insert a resistance R 2Produce feedback, to produce dual threshold: the power of contacting to earth threshold value and liftoff power threshold value.
Liftoff power threshold value and R MBe directly proportional, with R 2Be inversely proportional to; The power of contacting to earth threshold value and R MBe directly proportional, with R 2Also be directly proportional.So just can be through changing divider resistance R MAnd resistance R 2Size change the size of contact to earth power threshold value and liftoff power threshold value.
The extent of the power of contacting to earth threshold value and liftoff power threshold value and R 2Be inversely proportional to, increase R 2Difference between the threshold value is reduced, reduce R 2Difference between the threshold value is increased.
When the foot of multi-foot robot contacted to earth, the spring in the foot passive compliance device was stressed, and spring shortens; Apply a power for the surface of force sensing resistance through the cylinder pad; The resistance of force sensing resistance is diminished, thereby the voltage of the positive input of voltage comparator is increased, when the voltage of voltage comparator positive input increases to certain value; The output of voltage comparator sports high level by low level, at this moment is judged to be stable the contacting to earth of foot of robot.When the foot of multi-foot robot was liftoff, pressure reduced, and spring recovers; The force sensing resistance pressure reduces; Resistance increases, and the voltage decreases of voltage comparator positive input is when the voltage of voltage comparator positive input is reduced to certain value; The output of voltage comparator sports low level by high level, and the foot that at this moment is judged to be robot is stablized liftoff.Because resistance R 2Existence, make the power threshold value of contacting to earth different with liftoff power threshold value, the power threshold value of contacting to earth is greater than liftoff power threshold value, and the difference between two threshold values is by R 2Decision.
Foot contacted to earth that the pressure sensor structure that adopts usually with liftoff detection is complicated, volume is big when the present invention had overcome the multi-foot robot walking, Heavy Weight, applicability do not reach by force and to judge inaccurate problem.The present invention contacts to earth and liftoff detection at the bottom of adopting a kind of novel simple method to accomplish robot foot, this method accurate and effective of experiment proof.
