As introduced in the background art, the existing heavy-duty mechanical arm in the prior art is a highly complex system with multiple inputs, multiple outputs, strong coupling and strong nonlinearity, and how to ensure the stability, reliability and safety of the heavy-duty mechanical arm in the operation process is a hot spot of current research. Wherein, joint angle's measurement and control are especially important, are concerned with the accuracy, stability, reliability and the security of arm operation, in order to solve above technical problem, this application provides a big heavy load arm joint rotation angle measuring device of jumbo size based on FBG.
In a typical embodiment of the application, the invention structure is as shown in fig. 1, and the large-size heavy-load mechanical arm joint angle measuring device based on FBG comprises a first measuring mechanism and a second measuring mechanism which have the same structure, wherein fig. 1 corresponds to an upper measuring mechanism and a lower measuring mechanism, and the upper measuring mechanism and the lower measuring mechanism respectively comprise a top rod 4, a guide pipe 10, a spring 6, an FBG sensor 7, an optical fiber 9 and a demodulator; the spring 6 is in contact with the FBG sensor 7 (the right end of the spring is not directly connected with the FBG in the figure, but the right end of the spring can be ensured to be in natural contact with the end face of the FBG in a free state, while the left end of the spring is directly connected with the tail end of the mandril in the figure), the spring 6 and the FBG sensor 7 are arranged in guide pipes, the two guide pipes 10 are parallel to each other, the two guide pipes 10 are fixed on the lower mechanical arm and are not moved, particularly, the fixed end face 8 is shown in the figure 1, and the fixed end face 8 is fixed with the lower mechanical arm together; one end of the push rod 4 extends into the guide tube 10 and is connected with the spring 6, and the other end of the push rod 4 extends out of the guide tube 10. The connecting rod 2 rotates along with the upper mechanical arm to push the ejector rod 4 and compress the spring mechanism 6, so that certain pressure is applied to the FBG sensor 7, the pressure signal is converted into an optical signal, the optical signal is sent to the demodulator to be further processed, and the rotation angle of the mechanical arm joint is obtained. The grating of the FBG sensor 7 is stressed, and the specific structure thereof is the same as that of the existing FBG sensor, which is not described herein again.
As shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the robot comprises an upper robot arm 1 and a lower robot arm 3, wherein the upper robot arm 1 is connected to a link 2, and the link 2 can rotate with the upper robot arm 1; the lower mechanical arm 3 is fixed; the two guide pipes 10 are parallel to each other, and the two ejector rods 4 are parallel to each other; in fig. 1, the lower mechanical arm is horizontally arranged, so that the two guide pipes 10 and the two ejector rods 4 are also horizontally arranged; when the axes of the upper mechanical arm and the lower mechanical arm are on the same straight line, the two ejector rods are just in contact with the connecting rod at the tail end of the upper mechanical arm; when the upper mechanical arm rotates clockwise relative to the lower mechanical arm, the upper ejector rod is pushed into the guide pipe under the action of the connecting rod; when the upper mechanical arm rotates anticlockwise relative to the lower mechanical arm, the lower ejector rod is pushed into the guide tube under the action of the connecting rod, and the spring is further compressed and contracted, so that a certain pressure is applied to the FBG sensor, the fiber core generates strain in the axial direction, and the wavelength drift of the FBG is caused; the change can be obtained by a demodulator, and the one-to-one corresponding relation between the angle change and the wavelength change can be established by further calculation, so that the measurement of the angle is completed.
Furthermore, the ejector rod and the guide tube are limited by a limiting bulge 5 arranged at the end part of the guide tube, so that the ejector rod is limited to move only inside and outside the guide rod;
As a further technical solution, it is understood that the spring in the present application may not be connected to the push rod, as long as it is ensured that the spring can contact with the end of the push rod in a free state.
As a further technical solution, as shown in the figure, the optical fibers of the upper and lower measuring mechanisms are connected to the same demodulator.
The specific principle of the joint rotation angle measuring device is as follows:
(1) when the upper robot arm is in the position of fig. 1, it is in the home position. At the moment, the connecting rod has no thrust on the upper ejector rod and the lower ejector rod, the upper spring mechanism and the lower spring mechanism are both in an original long state, and the FBG sensor is not stressed.
(2) When the upper mechanical arm rotates counterclockwise through a certain angle, as shown in fig. 2. At the moment, the connecting rod pushes the lower ejector rod, and the spring mechanism contracts, so that certain pressure is applied to the FBG sensor, the fiber core generates strain in the axial direction, and the wavelength drift of the FBG is caused. The change can be obtained by a demodulator, and the one-to-one corresponding relation between the angle change and the wavelength change can be established by further calculation, so that the measurement of the angle is completed. Due to the limiting effect of the limiting salient points, the upper ejector rod keeps the original position unchanged, and the FBG above the upper ejector rod cannot have the wavelength change.
(3) When the upper arm is rotated clockwise through a certain angle, as shown in fig. 3. The measurement principle is the same as that in (2), the FBG above generates the change of the wavelength, and therefore the rotation angle of the mechanical arm is obtained. The clockwise and anticlockwise rotation angles can be distinguished through the cooperation of the two sets of ejector rod devices and the two sets of FBG sensors.
Compared with the traditional mechanical arm joint angle measuring mode, the method has high sensitivity, and the FBG is sensitive to tiny pressure, so the measured angle precision is higher.
1. The linearity is good, and because the spring deformation and the pressure, and the pressure borne by the FBG and the wavelength change are linear relations, the relation between the angle and the wavelength change is easy to establish, and the error is small.
2. Electromagnetic interference resistance, electric insulation, corrosion resistance and suitability for complex working conditions.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
