Referring to fig. 1 and 2, according to an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a method for determining interference of a robot joint assembly, the method including the steps of: determining a component needing to set interference; dividing the component into hexahedral meshes; giving material properties to the component, determining the elastic modulus and poisson's ratio of the component; adjusting and analyzing interference fit strain; defining a component contact relationship; determining boundary load; when the interference magnitude is set to be the first preset value, the axial force is increased by the second preset value, and when all parts in the robot joint assembly do not displace, the first preset value is the interference magnitude of the robot joint assembly.
In the embodiment, the interference magnitude of each part in the robot joint assembly is determined through a finite element simulation analysis method, so that the interference magnitude between the parts is more reasonable, the parts are easier to disassemble and assemble, and the interference magnitude between the parts determined by the method can effectively improve the stability and the reliability of the robot assembly.
Specifically, the components needing to be set with the interference include an oil seal seat, a central shaft and a joint gland, hexahedral meshes are divided for the oil seal seat, the central shaft and the joint gland, and the material properties of the oil seal seat, the central shaft and the joint gland are set as steel materials. The interference fit strain adjustment analysis comprises a step of simulating interference fit belt strain adjustment and a step of simulating axial force load application, and the geometric nonlinearity is an opening mode. In the step of defining the contact relation of the components, the oil seal seat, the central shaft and the joint gland are arranged to be in surface-to-surface contact, and the gap between the contact surfaces is set to be 0.01.
Further, the method further comprises defining a contact property, setting the friction coefficient to 0.1, determining an amplitude curve of the hard contact, setting a first preset value of the interference amount to 0.004, and setting the axial force to 100N. After the first preset value is set, the axial force of the third preset value is increased, and when the parts in the robot joint assembly do not axially displace, the first preset value is the interference of the robot joint assembly. For example, the third preset value may be set to 100N.
As shown in fig. 2, the robot joint assembly includes a small arm side cover 1, a small arm joint 2, a support flange 3, an oil seal seat 4, a central shaft 5, an oil seal 6, a second bearing 7, a first bearing 8, an oil seal 9, a joint gland 10, an O-ring 11, a spiral bevel gear 12, a bearing 13, and a wrist joint 14. The spiral bevel gear 12 is fixedly connected with the central shaft 5 through a first connecting piece, the first bearing 8 is in interference fit with the joint gland 10 and the oil seal seat 4 respectively, and the first bearing 8, the joint gland 10 and the oil seal seat 4 are connected with the wrist joint 14 through a second connecting piece. Wherein the first and second connectors may be screws. Because spiral bevel gear 12 can receive certain vertical direction axial force, drives center pin 5 and can upwards move, and power transmits bearing 7, and then transmits to oil seal seat 4 above, for preventing that center pin 5 upwards moves, oil seal seat 4 will block second bearing 7, and oil seal seat 4 receives ascending power and will firmly links together through interference fit with joint gland 10 and oil seal seat 4 respectively through first bearing 8 and lock wrist joint 14 and just can balance. The interference is too large to assemble, the interference is too small to ensure the center shaft 5 to be pulled out, and the following simulation operation is provided for simulating the process.
In combination with the structure of the robot joint assembly, as shown in fig. 1, the main components of the oil seal seat 4, the central shaft 5 and the joint gland 10 are established. The hexahedral mesh C3D10M is divided for three components. The three parts 45 are given steel material properties, modulus of elasticity and poisson's ratio. Two analysis steps are set, wherein the first step simulates interference fit with strain adjustment, type Static, General, and the second step simulates application of axial force load, type Static, General, and geometric non-linear Nlgeom opening. The first bearing 8 is respectively contacted with the oil seal seat 4 and the joint gland 10 to define surface-to-surface contact, and the clearance between the contact surfaces is adjusted by clicking the slave adjustment and setting the specific tolerance for the adjustment zone to be 0.01. Next, a contact attribute, vertical coulomb Friction, is defined and the coefficient of Friction coefficient frictioncoeff is set to 0.1. An amplitude curve of the interference contact is defined, the type is Tabular, and input values 0, 0, 1 and 1 are provided. When defining contact, a non-initial analysis step, simulating interference fit by using interference fit, clicking the interference fit, selecting gradient movable slope node overlap failure, then selecting a Uniform allowable interference, selecting the just established Amplitude curve by the Amplitude, and setting an interference Magnitude of a step: 0.004. determining boundary conditions and loads, wherein one end of a joint gland 10 under the boundary conditions is fixed, the loads are determined by the axial direction of the motion of a spiral bevel gear 12, and the model sets the axial force load to be 100N. And (3) submitting analysis and solving in ABAQUS and Job, checking results, respectively carrying out interference fit on the first bearing 8, the joint gland 10 and the oil seal seat 4, wherein the interference magnitude is 0.004, and then applying 100N axial force to prevent the model from moving. Therefore, the obtained analysis conclusion shows that the interference magnitude is 0.004, the spiral bevel gear 12 can be prevented from axially moving, and the structure of the robot joint assembly obtained by the method is more reasonable.
In this embodiment, the axial force of the spiral bevel gear is balanced by using the friction force generated by the interference between the bearing and the shaft and blocking the bearing by the bearing seat, thereby preventing the axial play of the spiral bevel gear. The interference fit between the bearing and the shaft is large, the installation and the disassembly are not good, the friction force generated by the too small interference amount is not enough to balance the axial force between the bevel gears, and the axial movement of the gears cannot be prevented, so that the interference fit between the bearing and the shaft is simulated by using a finite element simulation analysis method, whether the shaft is separated from the bearing caused by the axial force generated by the gears is determined, and the reasonability of the structure of the robot assembly is ensured.
