Description

The application relates to the technical field of pneumatic robots, in particular to a pneumatic driver, a robot and a robot control method.

With the continuous progress of technologies in automation control, industrial manufacturing, robot morphology, and the like, robots play an increasingly important role in the human society. With the development of the robot technology, higher requirements are also put on the flexibility and the compliance of the robot structure, particularly the robot driving structure.

A typical pneumatic elastomer driver application is the McKibben type pneumatic muscle proposed by American physicist, the inner liner of which is a rubber tube, the outer layer of which is a deformation-limiting fiber woven net sleeve, and the two ends of which are fixed and sealed by connecting pieces. When compressed gas is filled from one end, the inner container gradually expands in the radial direction to support the fiber woven net sleeve, and the radial expansion force is converted into the axial contraction force. The McKibben pneumatic muscle can only contract in one direction, the contraction rate is about 40 percent at most, and enough radial expansion working space needs to be reserved when the muscle is used.
During the operation of the pneumatic driver, one outstanding problem is: when the elastic material encounters resistance during the inflation elongation, buckling (i.e., sudden lateral deformation of the structural bars and resulting structural instability) is likely to occur, which results in failure to generate large blocking forces, thus limiting the energy and power density of the actuator.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail and completely with reference to the following specific embodiments of the present application and the accompanying drawings. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Please refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic structural diagram of a pneumatic driver according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The pneumatic driver includes:
an elastic cavity 3 and a constraint member 10 implanted in the elastic cavity 3, the elastic cavity 3 having a first end 301 and a second end 302 opposite in a first telescopic direction;
binding member 10 has first 1001 and second 1002 ends opposite in a first telescopic direction;
the first end 1001 of the constraint member 10 is coupled to the first end 301 of the elastic cavity 3;
the second end 1002 of the constraint member 10 is coupled with the second end 302 of the elastic cavity 3;
when inflated, the elastic chamber 3 will extend in the axial direction by Δ L under the action of the air pressure, and the constraint member 10 will passively elongate Δ L with the elastic chamber 3. This design of a rigid-soft coupling between the resilient chamber 3 and the implanted restraining member 10 is intended to prevent buckling of the resilient chamber 3 when an excessive load is applied axially, thereby enabling the pneumatic driver to generate a greater axial force while remaining axially compliant.
In specific applications, the elastic cavity 3 may have different structural configurations, and the elastic cavity 3 may be made of an elastic material with better stretchability, such as rubber, or may be a thin shell or a thin film structure that is easily bent and folded. The resilient chamber 3 may have different shape characteristics including, but not limited to, a corrugated structure, a folded/pleated structure, etc. It is understood that the specific implementation of the elastic chamber 3 should not be understood as a substantial limitation to the scope of protection of the present application. A simple variant of the elastic chamber 3 still falls within the scope of protection of the present application.
It is particularly noted that although the embodiments of the present application apply to pneumatic drives, i.e. driven by compressed air, the drive can also be directly performed by hydraulic or other drive means.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided herein, referring to fig. 1, the first end 301 of the elastic cavity is provided with an air inlet unit, and the second end 302 of the elastic cavity is provided with a sealing unit;
the air inlet unit comprises an air inlet pipe 2 and an air inlet cover 1, the closing unit comprises a closing cover 9, and the air inlet cover 1 and the closing cover 9 are respectively connected to a first end 301 and a second end 302 of the elastic cavity 3 in a sealing mode;
the gas inlet cover 1 is provided with a gas inlet so that gas can enter the elastic cavity 3 from the gas inlet;
the air inlet pipe 2 is inserted into the air inlet and is connected with the air inlet in a sealing mode.
In a specific application, the air inlet unit and the sealing unit may have different structural forms, such as a form shown in fig. 1 in which the air inlet cover 1 coupled to one end of the elastic cavity 3 is provided with an air inlet to insert the air inlet pipe 2, or other suitable portions of the elastic cavity 3 are provided with air inlets to insert the air inlet pipe, the air inlet cover 1 and the air inlet pipe 2 may be bonded to one end of the elastic cavity 3, or may be coupled to the elastic cavity 3 by fitting, integral 3D printing, or other methods, the sealing unit may be a sealing cover 9 coupled to the elastic cavity, and similarly, the sealing cover 9 may be coupled to the elastic cavity 3 by bonding, fitting, integral 3D printing, or other methods, and the sealing unit may not be coupled to other mechanisms, and the sealing effect is achieved by utilizing the closeness of the elastic cavity 3 itself. The specific implementation of the air inlet unit and the sealing unit should not be construed as a substantial limitation to the scope of protection of the present application.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided herein, with reference to fig. 1 and 2, the elastic cavity 3 is a bellows elastic soft shell;
the constraint component 10 is a telescopic sleeve group which comprises at least two large sleeves 5 and small sleeves 6 which are nested with each other, and a first limiting structure 4 and a second limiting structure 8 which are connected with the large sleeves and the small sleeves;
one end of the large sleeve 5 is connected with the sealing cover 9, the other end of the large sleeve is connected with the first limiting structure 4, and the inner diameter of the first limiting structure 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the small sleeve 6;
one end of the small sleeve 6 is connected with the air inlet cover 1, the other end of the small sleeve is connected with the second limiting structure 8, and the outer diameter of the second limiting structure 8 is smaller than the inner diameter of the large sleeve 5;
the outer diameter of the second limiting structure 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the first limiting mechanism 4.
In a specific application, the corrugations of the corrugated pipe structure are distributed along the circumferential direction and undulate along the axial direction, so that the corrugated pipe has good expansion and contraction performance in the axial direction and good torsion resistance performance while having high radial rigidity to limit radial deformation of the driver. The flexible bellows shell has a circumferential groove axisymmetric structure. Referring to fig. 1, the smaller wall thickness b and R/R ratio can increase the elongation of the flexible bladder. The design of the axial grooves allows the flexible bladder to stretch and compress with little radial expansion and a greater wall thickness e reduces the radial expansion.
In a specific application, the first limiting structure 4 may be a limiting ring, the second limiting structure 8 may be a limiting cap, see fig. 2, and as seen from the split view, the limiting ring is bonded to one end of the large sleeve 5, the limiting cap is bonded to one end of the small carbon fiber tube 6, and the limiting ring, the large sleeve 5, the small sleeve 6 and the limiting cap form the telescopic sleeve 10. The inner diameter of the limiting ring is larger than the outer diameter of the small sleeve 6, the outer diameter of the limiting cap is smaller than the inner diameter of the large sleeve 5, and the small sleeve 6 does not slide in the large sleeve 5; the external diameter of the limit cap is larger than the internal diameter of the limit ring, when the telescopic sleeve 10 extends to the maximum length, the external diameter of the limit cap is propped between the internal diameter and the external diameter of the limit ring, and the large sleeve 5 and the small sleeve 6 are prevented from slipping. It is understood that the specific implementation forms of the first limit stop structure 4 and the second limit stop structure 8 should not be construed as a substantial limitation to the scope of the present application. Simple modifications to the first and second limiting structures 4, 8 still fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
The large sleeve 5 and the small sleeve 6 are preferably sleeves made of carbon fiber materials, and the sleeves made of carbon fiber materials are selected, so that the pneumatic driver has the advantages of being lighter, smaller in friction coefficient between the sleeves and the like, and the energy density and the power density of the pneumatic driver can be further improved. The structure of the telescopic sleeve group is not limited to two sections, and the telescopic sleeve group can comprise three or even more sections, so that better ductility is realized. The telescopic sleeve group can also be made of 3D printing materials, various metal materials, plastics and the like.
Further, in a preferred embodiment provided by the present application, the telescopic sleeve set further comprises a ball bushing 7, the ball bushing 7 can be sleeved on the large sleeve 5 and the small sleeve 6 which are nested with each other, the outer diameter of the ball bushing 7 is in contact with the inner diameter of the large sleeve 5, and the inner diameter of the ball bushing 7 is in contact with the outer diameter of the small sleeve 6;
the outer diameter of the second limiting structure 8 is smaller than the outer diameter of the ball bushing 7 and larger than the inner diameter of the ball bushing 7.
The large sleeve 5 and the small sleeve 6 are connected by the ball bush 7, and the friction force when the large sleeve 5 and the small sleeve 6 slide with each other can be reduced. It is particularly noted that, instead of the ball bushes, self-lubricating materials, lubricating liquids or other friction-reducing structures may be used to reduce the friction when the large sleeve 5 and the small sleeve 6 slide on each other.
Further, the present application also provides a robot, referring to fig. 3, the robot including:
a first foot module 11 and a second foot module 13 distributed along the robot advancement direction;

The robot is mainly composed of four parts, namely a first foot module 11, a second foot module 13, a first driving module 12 and a second driving module 14, wherein for convenience of description and understanding, the first foot module 11 is called a front foot module, the second foot module 13 is called a rear foot module, the first driving module 12 is called a left driving module, and the second driving module 14 is called a rear driving module.

When the friction coefficients of the front foot module and the rear foot module are different from the friction coefficient of the ground, the static friction force of the front foot module and the static friction force of the rear foot module are different from the static friction force of the ground, and when the left driving module and the right driving module extend through inflation, the center of the whole robot moves to the end far away from the static friction force; when the left driving module and the right driving module are contracted through deflation, the whole center of the robot moves towards the end with larger static friction force. Therefore, the motion of the robot can be realized through the state adjustment of the front foot module, the rear foot module, the left driving module and the right driving module.

The inlet 1803 of the inflation valve is connected with the five-way joint, and the outlet 1804 of the inflation valve is connected with the first end 2001 of the three-way joint 20; the second end 2002 of the three-way joint 20 is connected with the inlet 1805 of the deflation valve, and the third end 2003 of the three-way joint is connected with the air inlet 3107 of the foot driver or the air inlet 2 of the pneumatic driver; the vent valve outlet 1806 is in communication with the atmosphere.
When the foot actuator 31 or pneumatic actuator is to be inflated, the micro-pump 16 is turned on and the gas enters the inlet 1803 of the inflation valve 1801 through the five-way connector. At this time, the inflation valve 1801 is turned on, the deflation valve 1802 is closed, and the gas flows out from the inflation valve outlet 1804, enters the first end 2001 of the three-way joint, and enters the foot driver inlet 3107 or the pneumatic driver inlet 2 through the third end 2003 of the three-way joint to inflate the same. At this point, because the bleed valve 1802 is closed, gas does not enter the bleed valve 1802 through the three-way fitting second end 2002.
When the foot driver 31 or the pneumatic driver needs to be deflated, the micro pump 16 is shut down, the inflation valve 1801 is closed, the deflation valve 1802 is conducted, the gas flows out from the foot driver air inlet 3107 or the pneumatic driver air inlet 2, enters the third end 2003 of the three-way joint, and enters the deflation valve inlet 1805 through the second end 2002 of the three-way joint, and the gas is exhausted to the atmosphere through the deflation valve from the deflation valve outlet 1806 due to the conduction of the deflation valve. At this time, since the inflation valve 1801 is closed, the gas does not enter the deflation valve 1801 through the first end 2001 of the three-way joint and flows back into the inflator.
Through the above control strategy, the micro-pump 16 and the electromagnetic valve set 18 control the foot driver 31 and the pneumatic driver to inflate and deflate through the on-off of the micro-pump 16 and the conduction and the closing of the electromagnetic valve set 18 under the control of the switching circuit set 17.

step5: f1, F2, A1 and A2 are deflated, and the robot returns to the initial state Step0.
It can be understood that the above crawling process is a straight right-turning process, and obviously, the straight left-turning process is the same as the straight right-turning process in principle, which is not described herein again.
