The sole ground touch sensing mechanism comprises a shank, a switch base, a sole, sole rubber, a foot rotating shaft, two microswitches and two restoring springs. The two microswitches are mounted on the bottom surface of the switch base. The sole is hinged with the switch base through the foot rotating shaft, and is capable of rotating around the foot rotating shaft and relative to the switch base. The two restoring springs are mounted between the front of the switch base and the sole and capable of providing restoring force. The sole rubber is mounted on the lower portion of the sole and capable of playing a role in buffering when the sole touches the ground. The shank is fixed with the switch base. The sole ground touch sensing mechanism is simple in structure, high in sensitivity and convenient to mount. The microswitches in a foot can be turned on when the sole touches the ground, and can be turned off when the foot is away from the ground; movement states of the robot are fed back to a control system timely, so that ground touch situations of the sole are judged sensitively by the control system; and real-time control performance of the legged robot is guaranteed.

Description

A kind of legged mobile robot plantar grade sensing mechanisms
Technical field
The invention belongs to robotics, relate at the bottom of a kind of robot foot and touch end sensing mechanisms.
Background technology
In the last few years, along with the development of Robotics, the motion real-time perception ability of people to robot is had higher requirement.For legged mobile robot, how to realize the study hotspot that the fast hop of robot and road-work have become robotics.Because the working environment of legged mobile robot is complicated, affect the many factors of its motion, and can sensitive perception plantar grade state be wherein the key factor that legged mobile robot realizes Real-time Balancing control.At present, China's part robot adopts simple opened loop control, disclosed in CN101370623 " legged mobile robot ", can walk when guaranteeing that trunk height is low with large stride, but the length of paces needs predetermined in advance, can not adapt to comparatively complicated condition of road surface; Some robot have employed power/torque sensor to the power obtaining robot and land or moment information, as " leg type mobile robot " of CN1860001, namely have employed force snesor feedback leg movements state in the design.But this kind of sensor is expensive, and also therefore higher to the requirement of installing and use, the perceptive mode that contacts to earth improved at the bottom of robot foot becomes the major issue of legged mobile robot mechanism design.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to propose a kind of structure legged mobile robot plantar grade sensing mechanisms simple, highly sensitive, easy for installation.
Legged mobile robot plantar grade sensing mechanisms of the present invention comprises shank, switch pedestal, vola, vola rubber, foot rotating shaft, two micro-switchs and two recovery springs, there is U-shaped projection the bottom surface of switch pedestal, be in the side that to be connected with switch pedestal bottom surface on the base of U-shaped projection and have strip groove, strip groove bottom is that U-shaped projection base is anterior protruding, spacer block is had in U-shaped projection, the both sides and spacer block of U-shaped bump openings end there is the through hole run through, be positioned at side, U-shaped projection base in the bottom surface of switch pedestal and be provided with two vertical blind holes, two parallel both sides being fastened on spacer block in U-shaped projection of micro-switch, the front end of vola end face is provided with a projection, the forebody of projection is inclined-plane, projection there are two perpendicular to the spring shrinkage pool of bottom surface, vola, projection has the rectangular through-hole of a fore-and-aft direction, there are two parallel lugs the rear end of vola end face, two lugs all there is shaft hole, the front portion projection of switch pedestal passes the rectangular through-hole in vola, the latter half of of vola end face projection is inserted in the strip groove of switch pedestal, two upper ends of recovering spring are inserted in two blind holes of switch pedestal respectively, lower end is inserted in the spring shrinkage pool in vola respectively, two lugs in vola insert two spaces that U-shaped projection two limits of switch pedestal and spacer block are formed respectively, foot rotating shaft is through the through hole on vola two lug shaft hole and the U-shaped projection of switch pedestal and spacer block, foot roller end twist connected nut formed vola and switch pedestal hinged, the end face of shank and switch pedestal is fixed, vola rubber is fixed on bottom, vola, the driving lever of two micro-switchs is positioned at the middle plane place of vola end face.
When robot foot section contacts to earth, vola will rotate around foot rotating shaft, extruding is arranged on the recovery spring of switch pedestal and front portion, vola, and then touch the micro-switch be arranged in switch pedestal, micro-switch is closed, and the signal landed by foot passes to control system by wire through the hole in the middle of shank.And when foot leaves ground, vola being pushed by recovering spring, discharging the extruding to micro-switch, coming back to initial position, touch end blackout.Vola rubber reduces the damage of Ground shock waves to robot foot section, extends the service life of foot.Meanwhile, this mechanism also enhances robot foot section to the sensitivity judged that lands, and improves the real-time perception ability of robot.This sensing mechanisms is applicable to being applied in the driving legged mobile robot of needs real-time perception function.
Legged mobile robot plantar grade sensing mechanisms of the present invention, structure is simple, highly sensitive, easy for installation.The present invention adopts the contact-sensing of micro-switch to design, and by the hinged vola of foot rotating shaft and switch pedestal, the contact on vola and ground is converted into the closed of micro-switch in real time.When vola rubber contacts to earth, vola compressing micro-switch makes it close, by the signal of plantar grade to control system; When vola rubber leaves ground, recover spring and in the very first time, vola can be pushed away switch pedestal again, remove vola to the compressing of micro-switch, so micro-switch recovers state of nature, also signal liftoff for vola is conveyed to control system.This mechanism can make the situation of contacting to earth in the sensitive judgement vola of control system, ensures the real-time controller performance of legged mobile robot; Vola rubber has buffer protection function to vola simultaneously, extends the service life of legged mobile robot.
