It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
As shown in fig. 1, the reconfigurable biped robot with multiple motion modes of the invention comprises a trunk part 1, a hip vertical rotation rod 2, a hip horizontal rotation part 3, a hip fixing part 4, a thigh part 5, a shank part 6, an upper thigh link part 7, a flexible part 8, a lower thigh link part 9, a sole part 10, a toe part 11, a balance link part 12, a lower toe link part 13, an upper toe link part 14, a driving wheel part 15 and a driven wheel part 16.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the hip vertical rotation rod 2 is connected to the body member 1 and the hip horizontal rotation member 3 through rotation pairs with mutually perpendicular axes to form a universal joint hinge providing the biped robot with freedom of rotation around the z-axis and the y-axisBy driving the gimbal hinges, proper rotation of hip fixing element 4 about the z-axis and y-axis relative to torso part 1 is achieved. The hip fixing component 4 is fixed on the hip horizontal rotating component 3 and passes through the revolute pair and the thigh component 5Connected to provide the biped robot with freedom to rotate around the x-axis. By driving the revolute pair, the thigh member 5 can be appropriately rotated about the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis with respect to the torso member 1. Not limited to this connection, the same advantageous effects can be obtained by connecting the torso member 1 and the thigh member 5 by the ball pair.
The thigh part 5, the shank part 6, the upper thigh link part 7, the lower thigh link part 9 and the sole part 10 are connected with each other through the revolute pair, and two ends of the flexible part 8 are respectively fixedly connected with the upper thigh link part 7 and the lower thigh link part 9, so that the six rod pieces form a flexible planar multi-rod mechanism. The planar multi-link mechanism can not only improve the structural rigidity of the biped robot, but also reduce the impact force between the tail end of the biped robot and the ground by introducing the flexible component, and can store certain energy to play the roles of vibration reduction and energy utilization rate improvement. The walking task of the biped robot can be achieved by driving the rotary joints between the hip fixing part 4 and the thigh part 5 and between the thigh part 5 and the shank part 6, as shown in fig. 3. Not limited to this connection, using a single flexible rodDirect connectionSimilar gain effects can be achieved by connecting thigh member 5 and sole member 10.
By properly driving the driving joints of the biped robot, the biped robot can be switched between a biped motion mode and a wheel type motion mode. The two ends of the balance connecting rod part 12 are respectively connected with the sole part 10 and the driving wheel part 15 through revolute pairs, and under a double-foot motion mode, static balance and dynamic balance of the robot can be realized by actively controlling the swing angle, speed and acceleration of the balance connecting rod part 12 and the rotating speed of the driving wheel part 15; under the wheel type movement mode, the effects of shock absorption, obstacle avoidance and the like can be realized through the active control on the balance connecting rod part 12.
The ball member 10, the toe member 11, the lower toe link member 13 and the upper toe link member 14 are connected to each other through a revolute pair to form a planar four-bar mechanism, and the other end of the toe member 11 is connected to the driven wheel member 16 through a revolute pair to allow the driven wheel member 16 to freely rotate. As shown in fig. 3, in the bipedal movement mode, the planar four-bar mechanism can move the toe part 11 upwards, so that the rotational inertia of the bipedal robot is reduced and the movement performance of the bipedal robot is improved under the condition that the bipedal robot is suitable for different terrains; in the wheel type motion mode, the position of the driven wheel component 16 can be adjusted through the motion of the four-bar mechanism, so that the driven wheel component 16 can better match with the driving wheel component 15 to move, and the motion performance of the biped robot in the wheel type motion mode is further improved.
The invention adopts a wheel-foot mixed structure, and can play a role in reducing impact and storing energy through the introduced flexible part in a biped walking state; the body rigidity of the biped robot is increased and the walking stability is improved through a multi-link mechanism formed by the thigh part, the shank part, the flexible shock absorption part and the sole part; the active balance of the biped robot in the biped walking state is realized by utilizing the swing of the balance connecting rod part and the rotation of the driving wheel part; the active adaptability of the biped robot to different terrains is realized through the sole component and the toe component; the switching of the biped robot between a foot type motion mode and a wheel type motion mode is realized by adjusting a leg mechanism of the biped robot; in the wheel type motion mode, active shock absorption of the driving wheel component and the driven wheel component on the terrain is achieved by adjusting the balance connecting rod component and the toe component.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes in the form and details of the embodiments may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof.
