The invention relates to a working principle of a vehicle-snake combined variable structure mobile robot, which comprises the following steps:
1. first, according to the omnidirectional movement characteristics of the mecanum wheels, as shown in fig. 3, the first mecanum wheel 9.1 and the third mecanum wheel 9.3 from the left side select mecanum wheels with rollers on the outer sides of the wheels installed in the forward direction, the second mecanum wheel 9.2 and the fourth mecanum wheel 9.4 from the left side select mecanum wheels with rollers on the outer sides of the wheels installed in the reverse direction, the counterclockwise rotation direction of the mecanum wheels from the left to the right in fig. 3 is defined as the positive direction, the first mecanum wheel 9.1 and the third mecanum wheel 9.3 are kept rotating synchronously, the second mecanum wheel 9.2 and the fourth mecanum wheel 9.4 are rotated synchronously, and the rotation directions of the two sets of synchronous wheels are opposite, so that the robot can keep the one-word snaking motion in the horizontal direction in fig. 3. Because the rotation directions of the adjacent Mecanum wheels are different, if the four Mecanum wheels are kept to rotate at the same rotation speed, the robot can generate inward or outward torsion perpendicular to the paper surface, in order to enable the robot to move linearly, the first solution can realize linear snake-shaped movement by adjusting the rotation speed ratio of the Mecanum wheels, and the second solution can simultaneously shorten the lengths of the upper connecting rod 5 and the lower connecting rod 11.
2. According to the rotation direction and stress analysis of Mecanum wheels in the two postures, all the body structures on one side of the upper connecting rod 1 are subjected to centrosymmetric transformation by taking the rotating shaft of the digital steering engine 4 as the center, so that the transformation from the vehicle-shaped posture to the straight snake-shaped posture of the vehicle-snake combined type variable structure mobile robot can be realized. The transformation method of the invention selects a certain reasonable fixed position to carry out central symmetry transformation, not only saves the time required by the transformation process, but also the transformation connecting rod structure of the robot presents a very simple transformation device, and compared with a double-connecting-rod transformation structure, the single-connecting-rod transformation structure reduces the weight of the connecting rod in the straight snake-shaped motion process of the vehicle-snake combined type variable structure mobile robot, and improves the accuracy of the straight snake-shaped linear motion.
3. The invention can use 2.4G wireless communication mode to control the motor and the digital steering engine by the singlechip, the wireless control handle or the computer sends a robot motion instruction, the wireless control handle sends a wireless signal after pressing keys, the wireless receiving module receives the signal and then sends the signal to the singlechip for signal decoding, the singlechip executes a corresponding task according to the decoded function instruction, if the function instruction is a moving function, the singlechip sends PWM wave to the motor driving module to control the rotation speed of the Mecanum wheel. If the function instruction is a deformation function, the single chip sends a rotation instruction to the digital steering engine to realize the deformation function of the robot. The motion instruction, i.e., the robot function, specifically includes: the vehicle-shaped state is forward, backward, left-shift, right-shift, left-turn and right-turn, the straight snake-shaped state is forward, backward, left-shift, right-shift, left-turn and right-turn, and the deformation of the vehicle shape and the straight snake-shaped state is switched. The wireless control handle function is defined as shown in fig. 5. The above motion function requires that the four mecanum wheels be independently rotatable. To avoid torque forces due to relative rotation of adjacent wheels during the in-line serpentine motion, the ratio of the rotational speed of second mecanum wheel 9.2 and third mecanum wheel 9.3 to the rotational speed of first mecanum wheel 9.1 and fourth mecanum wheel 9.4 in fig. 3 is about 10 to 7. When the rotating speed ratio is kept to be 10: 7, the robot can realize straight snake-shaped linear motion, when the rotating speed is larger than or smaller than the ratio, the robot can realize left-turn or right-turn motion, and the specific threshold value is determined according to the actual material and the size.
4. In the process of deforming the vehicle shape to the straight snake shape, the digital steering engine receives signals through wireless communication, the digital steering engine rotates the structure of the machine body by 180 degrees in two steps, and the Mecanum wheels rotate together with the digital steering engine in the motion process of the digital steering engine, so that the deformation function of the robot is assisted, the load capacity of the connecting rod is reduced, the service life of the connecting rod is prolonged, and the deformation process is assisted. In fig. 3, the ratio of the rotational speed of the first and fourth mecanum wheels 9.1, 9.4 to the rotational speed of the second and third mecanum wheels 9.2, 9.3 is determined by the radius ratio of each mecanum wheel from the center of the steering engine's rotating shaft.
Through the embodiment, the combined type variable-structure mobile robot with the four-wheeled vehicle-shaped rapid omnidirectional movement and the straight snake-shaped narrow passage crossing capacity can be built. The two postures can be freely switched in an open road or a narrow channel, and the device has flexibility and self-adaptability and can well complete the operation task in a complex environment.
