Detailed Description
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it will be understood that they are described herein for the purpose of illustration and explanation and not limitation.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1 to 14, it is a preferred structure of the device for opening and closing an article compartment for preventing erroneous opening according to the present invention.
As shown in fig. 6, the article compartment opening and closing device for preventing the false opening includes a crank and rocker mechanism 10, an actuator 20 and a limiting assembly 30. The actuator 20 is in driving connection with the crank and rocker mechanism 10; the crank rocker mechanism 10 is connected with the hatch cover 40 of the article cabin 50 and drives the hatch cover 40 to move; the limiting assembly 30 is used for preventing the hatch cover 40 from being opened manually after being closed.
The article cabin opening and closing device can be applied to a service robot, so that the automatic opening and closing of the cabin cover of the article cabin of the robot can be realized; meanwhile, the hatch cover is prevented from being manually opened after being closed through the limiting assembly.
As shown in fig. 1, the crank and rocker mechanism 10 includes a crank 11, a connecting rod 12, and a rocker 13.
In this embodiment, the crank 11 is an active member, the crank 11 is connected to an actuator 20, and the actuator 20 can drive the crank 11 to rotate. The connecting rod 12 is used for connecting the crank 11 and the rocker 13. The rocker 13 is a driven member, the rocker 13 is fixedly connected with the hatch 40, and the rocker 13 swings within a certain angle range to drive the hatch 40 to open or close.
According to the transmission principle of the crank rocker mechanism, when the crank is a driving part, the rotation of the crank enables the rocker to swing back and forth to realize the opening and closing of the hatch cover; meanwhile, the opening and closing device for the object cabin can be applied to the side-hung opening, top-hung or bottom-hung opening, top-turnover opening and the like of the cabin cover, and has strong universality.
The invention preferably has the rocker 13 driving the hatch 40 to swing through an angle of 0 to 100 °. This range of angles allows the hatch 40 to be opened without taking up too much space during and after opening, and the opening angle facilitates the user to access the items.
Further, the actuator 20 of the present invention is used to drive the crank 11 to oscillate without the crank 11 performing repeated rotations. Specifically, the actuator 20 drives the crank 11 to swing the crank 11 positively from the first position to the second position and back from the second position to the first position.
As shown in fig. 1 and 9, which are perspective views of the crank 11 in the first position. When the crank 11 is in the first position, the crank and rocker mechanism 10 closes the hatch 40 to conceal the opening of the article compartment 50.
As shown in fig. 4, which is a perspective view of the crank 11 in the second position. When the crank 11 is in the second position, the hatch 40 opens the opening of the goods compartment 50.
The actuator 20 continuously switches between the first position and the second position by driving the crank 11 to realize the automatic opening and closing of the hatch 40. The principle of opening and closing the structure of the rocker 13 of the crank 11 of the present invention is known to those skilled in the art, and the description thereof will be omitted.
The limit component 30 is arranged at one side of the crank rocker mechanism 10, and the action of the crank rocker mechanism 10 is limited by the limit component to lock the hatch cover 40, and the principle is as follows:
according to the principle of the crank-rocker mechanism 10, when the rocker 13 is an active component, the rocking of the rocker 13 drives the connecting rod 12 to move, and the connecting rod 12 drives the crank 11 to rotate. For this reason, when an external force for opening the hatch 40 is applied to the hatch 40 in the closed state of the hatch 40, corresponding to the force applied to the rocker 13, the external force is converted by the crank and rocker mechanism 10 into a force for rotating the crank 11.
Firstly, the present invention improves the motion tendency of the crank 11, and when the crank 11 is located at the first position, the force acts on the crank 11, and the crank 11 will generate the motion tendency of swinging in the reverse direction from the first position, rather than swinging in the forward direction to the second position.
Secondly, the limiting component 30 is arranged at one side of the crank and rocker mechanism 10 in an adjacent mode, and abuts against the crank and rocker mechanism 10 through the limiting component 30; in the force transmission direction, the crank-rocker mechanism 10 counteracts the acting force by abutting against the limiting component 30, so as to lock the overall movement of the crank-rocker mechanism 10, and further realize the locking of the hatch 40. Specifically, the limiting component 30 can limit the movement of the crank-rocker mechanism 10 by abutting against the crank 11 or the connecting rod 12.
As shown in fig. 10, the position limiting component 30 may be a stop column, a baffle or a stopper, or may be an inner wall of the service robot. The invention is not limited.
In order to improve the motion tendency of the crank 11, as shown in fig. 9, the present invention provides that when the crank 11 is located at the first position, the crank 11 and the connecting rod 12 are not arranged in line, so that the above-mentioned reverse swing of the crank 11 can be easily realized. The arrangement of how to cause the crank 11 to oscillate in opposite directions is within the reach of the person skilled in the art, and the technical result achieved is predictable by the person skilled in the art, based on the teachings of the present invention.
Through the design, the actions of opening and closing the hatch cover (swinging forward from the first position to the second position and swinging back from the second position to the first position) and the actions of preventing false opening (swinging backward from the first position) of the crank 11 are not interfered with each other. The motion characteristic of the crank rocker mechanism 10 is utilized for improvement, the whole scheme is simple, and the realization is easy.
On the other hand, when the crank 11 is in the first position, the crank 11 is not arranged in line with the connecting rod 22, thereby avoiding the dead point position of the crank-rocker mechanism. When maintenance personnel need to open the cabin cover manually through external force, if the cabin cover is in a closed state, the external force acts on the cabin cover, the cabin cover can drive the rocker to swing, the rocker can become a driving part, and the crank becomes a driven part. If the crank and the connecting rod are collinear, namely are positioned at the dead point position of the crank rocker mechanism, the hatch cover can not be opened. And the problem is well solved if the crank and the connecting rod are not collinear, and the inspection and maintenance are convenient.
It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the technical solution in which the crank 11 and the connecting rod 12 are not arranged in line when the crank 11 is located at the first position. For example, when the crank 11 is collinear with the connecting rod 12, an improvement in the tendency of the crank 11 to move can be achieved by the auxiliary element. For example, when the crank 11 is located at the first position, the spring applies an additional force to the crank 11 to make the crank 11 swing in the opposite direction.
Further, the present invention provides two embodiments of the position limiting assembly 30:
first, as shown in fig. 9, when the crank 11 is located at the first position, the crank-rocker mechanism 10 abuts against the limiting component 30 located at one side, and the angle of the crank 11 that can swing in the reverse direction is zero, so that the hatch 40 is completely locked.
Secondly, as shown in fig. 13, the limiting component 30 is arranged at a distance from the crank-rocker mechanism 10; said force causes the crank 11 to swing in opposite directions from the first position to the third position. When the crank 11 is in the third position, the crank and rocker mechanism 10 abuts against the stop assembly 30 to counteract the force, and the hatch 40 reveals a partial opening of the product compartment 50.
In particular, the present embodiment 1 illustrates the present invention with a preferred structure of the crank 11 and the rocker 13, which is as follows:
as shown in fig. 7, the crank 11 includes a crank shaft 111, and the crank shaft 111 is a flat and long plate.
One end of the crank shaft 111 is a connecting part 112 for driving and connecting the crank 11 with the actuator 20, the connecting part 112 is a short cylindrical structure extending transversely, and the axis of the connecting part 112 is perpendicular to the surface of the crank shaft 111. The other end of the crankshaft 111 is a hinge portion 113 for hinging the crank 11 with the connecting rod 12, the hinge portion 113 is a short cylindrical structure with two transversely extending ends penetrating, and the axis of the hinge portion 113 is perpendicular to the surface of the crankshaft 111.
Further, the hinge portion 113 is further provided with a protrusion extending outward, and the protrusion extends in a direction opposite to the hinge portion 113 and is respectively located on two surfaces of the crank shaft 111. The outer diameter of the crank shaft 111 is gradually reduced from the connecting portion 112 to the hinge portion 113, and the length of the hinge portion 113 is much smaller than that of the connecting portion 112.
As shown in fig. 8, the rocker 13 is a swing seat, and the top of the swing seat has a mounting plane 131, and the mounting plane 131 is connected with the bottom of the hatch 40. The swing seat is provided with a first laterally extending engagement portion 132 at one side of the mounting plane 131, the first engagement portion 132 being adapted to be hinged to the external member. The swing seat is provided with a second coupling portion 133 protruding downward below the installation plane 131, and the second coupling portion 133 is hinged to the link 12.
As shown in fig. 5, the connecting rod 12 includes a long rod 121 and rod end joint bearings 122 respectively connected to both ends of the long rod 121. The rod end joint bearing 122 is in threaded connection with the long rod 121. One of the rod end joint bearings 122 of the connecting rod 12 is hinged to the hinge 113 of the crank 11 through a rotating shaft. The other rod end joint bearing 122 of the connecting rod 12 is hinged to the second link portion 133 of the rocking bar 13 through the other rotation shaft.
As shown in fig. 11, the actuator 20 includes a fixing base, and a servo motor connected to the fixing base, and the servo motor has a reducer. The actuator 20 is located below the hatch 40. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the connecting portion 112 of the crank 11.
In an initial state, as shown in fig. 1 and 9, the crank 11 is located at the first position, and the hatch 40 closes the opening of the article compartment 50; when the crank 11 and the connecting rod 12 are not collinear, and when the hatch 40 is opened by external force, as shown in fig. 13 and 14, the crank 11 swings reversely from the first position, and the crank 11 abuts against the limiting component 30 to prevent opening.
When the hatch cover is normally opened, the servo motor drives the crank to swing, the crank swings forwards from the first position to the second position, and the hatch cover is gradually opened. Until the crank reaches the second position, the hatch completely opens the opening of the goods compartment.
The invention also provides a service robot which adopts the article cabin opening and closing device for preventing the mistaken opening.
Example 2
The structure and the working principle of the opening and closing device for the article cabin for preventing the article cabin from being opened by mistake in the embodiment 2 are similar to those in the embodiment 1. The difference is that the embodiment 2 is realized by the second implementation mode of the limiting component. The limiting assembly and the crank rocker mechanism are arranged at a certain distance; the acting force enables the crank to reversely swing from the first position to the third position; when the crank is located at the third position, the crank rocker mechanism abuts against the limiting assembly to offset the acting force, and the hatch covers expose partial openings of the goods compartment.
With the above arrangement, the hatch 40 can open a portion, also resulting in a certain movable extent of the crank and rocker mechanism 10. For example, the crank 11 can swing reversely by a certain angle, and the connecting rod 12 has a certain swing amplitude. With this design, the service robot can detect displacement of the hatch 40, reverse swinging of the crank 11, and the like by means of sensors and the like. And further, the manual opening is detected, the service robot is enabled to move and avoid or give an alarm, and the user is prevented from continuing to manually open the hatch cover 40.
As shown in fig. 11, the limiting assembly 30 includes a mounting seat 31 and a limiting member 32. The mounting seat 31 can be fixedly mounted on a rack of the robot, and the middle part of the limiting piece 32 is hinged to the mounting seat 31, so that the limiting piece 32 can swing or rotate around the hinged position.
As shown in fig. 6 and 11, the top end of the stopper 32 is a hook 321 having a curved arch structure. The bottom end of the limiting member 32 is suspended. When the crank 11 is located at the first position, the hook 321 of the limiting member 32 is suspended above the crank 11; when the crank 11 swings reversely, the crank 11 abuts against the hook portion 321 of the limiting member 32 and drives the limiting member 32 to swing until the bottom end of the limiting member 32 abuts against the mounting base 31 or the rack, the limiting member 32 stops swinging under stress, and the crank 11 stops at the third position.
Under the condition of the structure, a designer can better realize the detection of the manual opening of the human body. If set up pressure sensor on the mount pad, when the crank drove the locating part, pressure sensor on the mount pad was supported to the bottom of locating part, the detection signal of artificial opening of output.
The invention also provides a service robot which adopts the article cabin opening and closing device for preventing the mistaken opening in the embodiment 2.
Example 3
The structure and the working principle of the opening and closing device for the article cabin for preventing the article cabin from being opened by mistake in the embodiment 3 are similar to those in the embodiment 1. The difference is that the present embodiment 3 is an optimized improvement of the actuator.
Wherein the actuator further comprises a control element connected to the servo motor. When the crank swings from the first position to the second position and swings from the second position to the first position, the control element acquires the current value of the servo motor and judges whether the current value is greater than a threshold value; if yes, the servo motor is controlled to rotate reversely.
Through the design, the hand clamping prevention of the opening and closing device of the goods cabin can be realized; in the prior art, when the servo motor normally rotates, if the resistance suddenly increases, the current of the servo motor increases instantly. Whether a related obstacle prevents the hatch cover from acting or not in the opening or closing process of the hatch cover is judged by detecting the current value of the servo motor; if the obstacle appears, the control unit acquires the current value and judges whether the current value exceeds the threshold value, and if so, the control unit controls whether the motor rotates reversely so as to realize the function of preventing the hands from being clamped.
The invention also provides a service robot, which adopts the article cabin opening and closing device for preventing the false opening in the embodiment 3. The invention relates to an opening and closing device for placing an article cabin which is opened by mistake and other structures of a service robot, which are referred to the prior art.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way, so that any modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment according to the technical spirit of the present invention are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
