Description

一种双电机驱动的机器人变刚度弹性关节A variable stiffness elastic joint of robot driven by dual motors

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种机器人仿生关节,具体为一种双电机驱动的刚度可调的机器人弹性关节,该装置可以适用于各种关节型机器人,提高机器人的安全性与对环境的友好度。The invention relates to a robot bionic joint, in particular to a dual-motor-driven robot elastic joint with adjustable stiffness. The device is applicable to various joint-type robots and improves the safety and environmental friendliness of the robot.

背景技术Background technique

长期以来,传统的机器人关节设计理论认为,对于动力驱动装置与关节铰链之间的机械连接方式应优先考虑刚度较大的传动机构。因此,在工业机器手臂、仿生多足机器人以及康复医疗假肢等关节机器人的研究中,普遍采用电机输出轴与关节机构进行刚性连接的驱动方案,其优势在于结构简单、定位精准、响应快速,从而满足各种操作与应用的需求。但这种驱动方案由于缺乏柔顺性使得机器人更容易受到外部冲击的影响而损坏,甚至对与之协作的人类造成伤害,同时对于机器人实现自调整接触、低能耗运动等目标也存在不足和缺憾。变刚度弹性驱动关节能够使柔性机械臂系统像人类肌肉一样,遇到冲击的时候能够适当的弯曲,从而缓冲碰撞等产生的能量,同时获得像生物体一样的触觉,感知外界阻力以便产生反应,从而达到保护手臂和环境的作用。另外,像肌肉一样吸收、存储、再次利用能量,不仅提高了能量利用率,而且从一定程度上消除机械震荡,减轻零部件的机械损伤。For a long time, the traditional robot joint design theory believes that the transmission mechanism with higher stiffness should be given priority to the mechanical connection mode between the power drive device and the joint hinge. Therefore, in the research of joint robots such as industrial robot arms, bionic multi-legged robots, and rehabilitation medical prostheses, the driving scheme of rigid connection between the motor output shaft and the joint mechanism is generally used. Its advantages lie in simple structure, precise positioning, and fast response. Meet the needs of various operations and applications. However, due to the lack of compliance of this driving scheme, the robot is more vulnerable to external impact and damage, and even causes harm to the human beings who cooperate with it. The variable stiffness elastic drive joint can make the flexible manipulator system bend properly when encountering impacts like human muscles, so as to buffer the energy generated by collisions, etc. At the same time, it can obtain the same sense of touch as a living body, and sense external resistance in order to react. So as to achieve the effect of protecting the arm and the environment. In addition, absorbing, storing, and reusing energy like a muscle not only improves energy utilization, but also eliminates mechanical shock to a certain extent and reduces mechanical damage to parts.

目前,国内对弹性关节的研究还非常少。经对现有技术文献的检索发现,从现有公开的串联弹性驱动关节看,大部分不具有刚度调节功能,如江苏大学杨启志等提出一种基于阿基米德螺线弹性体的柔弹性关节,专利公开号CN105082170A,其弹性体采用两片圆形弹簧片,弹簧片上开有阿基米德螺线槽以增加关节柔性,该装置虽然结构紧凑但运动范围有限且不能进行刚度调节。即使目前有极少数该弹簧片装置带有刚度调节,也存在集成度较低、较为笨重、通用性较差等问题,如北京理工大学黄强等人提出的一种可变刚度的机器人关节,专利公开号CN104440936A,关节上安装了一片主摩擦片和两片副摩擦片,在螺栓施加预紧力作用下产生摩擦力,利用摩擦片的摩擦特性进行刚度调节,但是摩擦片属于消耗品,使用一段时间后就会丧失原有功能需要定期更换,且其只设两级刚度调节,不能实现线性可调的刚度特性。更重要的是,目前已公开的刚度可调柔性关节均使用了一个电机负责驱动关节,另一个电机调节刚度,而不负责驱动关节,如此对于刚度调节电机的动力形成了浪费;而如果使用低性能刚度调节电机,则又难以保障在遇到碰撞的情况下,关节刚度可以及时进行调整。At present, domestic research on elastic joints is still very little. After searching the existing technical literature, it is found that most of the existing public series elastic drive joints do not have the function of stiffness adjustment. For example, Yang Qizhi of Jiangsu University proposed a soft elastic joint based on Archimedes spiral elastic body , Patent Publication No. CN105082170A, the elastic body adopts two circular spring sheets, and there are Archimedes spiral grooves on the spring sheets to increase joint flexibility. Although the device is compact in structure, its range of motion is limited and its stiffness cannot be adjusted. Even if there are very few spring devices with stiffness adjustment at present, there are still problems such as low integration, cumbersomeness, and poor versatility. For example, a robot joint with variable stiffness proposed by Huang Qiang et al. of Beijing Institute of Technology, patent Publication No. CN104440936A, a main friction plate and two secondary friction plates are installed on the joint, and the friction force is generated under the pre-tightening force of the bolts. The friction characteristics of the friction plates are used to adjust the stiffness, but the friction plates are consumables. After a while, it will lose its original function and needs to be replaced regularly, and it only has two levels of stiffness adjustment, which cannot achieve linearly adjustable stiffness characteristics. More importantly, the currently disclosed stiffness-adjustable flexible joints all use one motor to drive the joint, and another motor to adjust the stiffness instead of driving the joint, which wastes the power of the stiffness-adjusting motor; and if a low The performance stiffness adjustment motor is difficult to ensure that the joint stiffness can be adjusted in time in the event of a collision.
