The control method of the walking mechanism in the pipeline comprises the following steps:
when the travelling mechanism in the pipeline moves forwards or backwards, the central control unit 60 controls the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21 to be opposite to the rotation direction of the left rear spiral wheel 41, controls the rotation direction of the right front spiral wheel 31 to be opposite to the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21, and controls the rotation direction of the right rear spiral wheel 51 to be the same as the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21;
when the in-tunnel traveling mechanism turns left or right, the central control unit 60 controls the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21 to be opposite to the rotation direction of the left rear spiral wheel 41, controls the rotation direction of the right front spiral wheel 31 to be the same as the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21, and controls the rotation direction of the right rear spiral wheel 51 to be opposite to the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21;
when the in-duct running mechanism crab left or right, the rotation directions of the left rear spiral wheel 41, the right front spiral wheel 31 and the right rear spiral wheel 51 are all controlled by the central control unit 60 to be the same as the rotation direction of the left front spiral wheel 21.
Taking the left front spiral wheel mechanism 20 as a right spiral wheel, the right front spiral wheel mechanism 30 as a left spiral wheel, the left rear spiral wheel mechanism 40 as a left spiral wheel, and the right rear spiral wheel mechanism 50 as a right spiral wheel as an example, the whole vehicle state of the running mechanism in the pipeline and the rotation direction of the spiral wheels are as follows:
Figure BDA0002383445340000071
the in-pipeline running mechanism can also automatically identify the slipping working condition, when one spiral wheel in the in-pipeline running mechanism slips, the control module 61 reduces the rotating speed of the slipping spiral wheel through the stepping motor driver, and simultaneously reduces the rotating speed of the spiral wheel at the other end of the in-pipeline running mechanism, which is at the same side as the slipping spiral wheel, in an equivalent manner. The slip control is a deviation between a reference vehicle speed and a control target vehicle speed
Figure BDA0002383445340000081
And performing closed-loop control on the rotating speed difference of the stepping motor for a closed-loop control target. When a certain spiral wheel slips, the slip rate is increased, the lateral adhesive force of the spiral wheel is reduced, and the motion stability of the whole vehicle is seriously influenced. Therefore, the output rotation speed of the slipping helical wheel is reduced in the anti-slip control.
Taking the case where the right front spiral wheel 31 is slipping as an example, the driving force of each spiral wheel at the time of slipping is coordinately distributed as follows:
control method Left front wheel Right front wheel Left rear wheel Right rear wheel
Rotational speed n1 n2-Δn2 n3 n4-Δn2
By adopting a rotating speed control method, when the right front spiral wheel 31 rotates in a sliding mode, the rotating speed of the right front spiral wheel 31 is reduced, and the rotating speed of the right rear spiral wheel 51 is increased equally, so that the frame 10 moves leftwards and gets rid of a sliding area under the condition that the requirement of total driving force is not changed. After the frame 10 gets rid of the slip region, judging whether the spiral wheel slips again, if the spiral wheel still slips, continuing to be in the anti-slip control state; if not, the system is restored to the original state, and the anti-skid control is quitted.
Specifically, whether a certain spiral wheel in the running mechanism in the pipeline slips or not is judged by the following method:
respectively acquiring the rotating speeds n of the left front stepping motor 22, the right front stepping motor 32, the left rear stepping motor 42 and the right rear stepping motor 52 through corresponding shaft encoders in the stepping motors; the central control unit 60 determines whether the spiral wheel slips according to the rotation speed n of each stepping motor, and the specific determination method is as follows:
when the rotation speed n of the stepping motor is greater than or equal to
Figure BDA0002383445340000082
When the rotation speed n of the stepping motor is less than the rotation speed n, the spiral wheel connected with the stepping motor slips
Figure BDA0002383445340000083
When the stepping motor is used, the spiral wheel connected with the stepping motor does not slip; wherein igα is the included angle between the linear speed of the spiral wheel and the running speed direction of the running mechanism in the pipeline, and has the unit of degree, D is the diameter of the spiral wheel and has the unit of m, A is a preset threshold value, and n is the rotating speed of the stepping motor and has the unit of revolution per minute.

the speed of the spiral wheel is shown in the unit of km/h; vxThe running speed of the whole vehicle of the running mechanism in the pipeline is calculated according to the rotating speed of the motor, namely km/h.
Further, in order to avoid frequent switching of the slip state of the driving wheel due to large calculation error when the rotating speed of the wheel is low, the current actually measured vehicle speed value is used
Figure BDA0002383445340000087
And judging whether the speed of the vehicle is greater than a set vehicle speed threshold value B or not and determining whether the spiral wheel is in a slip state or not.

Greater than or equal to E; wherein E, F, G are all preset values,
Figure BDA0002383445340000096
