Description

In the research field of the quadruped robot, the wheel-foot hybrid robot is a hot spot of research in the field. The wheeled robot has the advantage of rapid movement on a flat ground, but has the disadvantage of poor obstacle crossing capability and is not suitable for working on complex terrains. The legged robot has an animal gait movement mode, has the capability of crossing obstacles in the true sense, can work on complex terrains such as mountainous regions, sand pits and the like, but has the defects of low energy utilization rate and low movement speed; therefore, it is very important to develop a leg-wheel hybrid robot combining the advantages of leg type and wheel type. Wheel-legged robot mainly divides into structurally: wheel leg tandem type and wheel leg deformation type. Wheel leg tandem type: the wheels are fixed at the ends of the legs, serving as foot ends. Such a robot: the obstacle crossing performance is more outstanding; the wheel leg switching process is relatively flexible; but the driving number is more, the control difficulty is relatively larger, and the abrasion to the wheel is larger. And when the leg is used for work, the wheels are always taken as loads, so that the flexibility of the leg is reduced. Wheel leg deformation: the motion mode of the robot is changed through structural deformation, and the robot has strong environmental adaptability; the movement speed is high; the structure is compact; the self weight of the robot is greatly reduced, and the wheel legs are flexibly switched. But the bearing capacity is poor, and the whole mechanical structure of the robot is relatively complex.

Wheel form: when the robot passes through the flat road surface, the road surface obstacle is less, for the efficiency of advancing of promotion robot, improves energy utilization, adopts wheel form work under this kind of condition. When the wheel shape works, four supporting legs are upwards folded and raised, a second driving motor drives a thigh rod to upwards rotate around a joint, a third motor drives an auxiliary rotating short rod to move, and then an auxiliary rotating long rod is driven to move, finally, a shank rod rotates around a shank joint, V-shaped upwards contraction of the thigh rod and the shank rod is realized, the supporting legs contracted at ordinary times are put down, a disc-shaped driving motor drives a first bevel gear to rotate, the rotation of the first bevel gear drives a second bevel gear and the forward and reverse rotation of the third bevel gear, the second bevel gear drives a first connecting rod, and the third bevel gear drives a fourth connecting rod to do rotary motion in opposite directions around the same shaft. The second connecting rod is driven by the first connecting rod to do plane motion, and the third connecting rod does plane motion with a tail end point motion trail as a vertical line under the constraint of the motion of the second connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod. The front wheel support and the rear wheel support are fixed at the tail end of the third connecting rod through a revolute pair, and the plane where the front wheel module and the rear wheel module are located can be displaced in the vertical direction. The planar motion of the third connecting rod brings the accompanying rotation, so that the whole connecting rod mechanism is prevented from rotating in the telescopic process, and a revolute pair is not fixed at the connecting part but is selected. A scissor type telescopic net is added at the front end to limit the rotation of the connecting rod mechanism around an axis vertical to the side surface of the machine body. When the wheel shape advances on a flat road surface, such as a road needing to be steered, the steering motor of the front wheel module is used for realizing the turning. The rack is driven to move through the forward and reverse rotation of the steering motor, then two auxiliary rockers are driven to move, one end of the V-shaped connecting rod is connected with the front wheel support through a revolute pair, the other end of the V-shaped connecting rod is driven by the auxiliary rockers to move, and therefore the other end of the V-shaped connecting rod drives the wheels to rotate around the axes of the revolute pair, the rotation of the front wheels is achieved, and the steering of the robot in a wheel form is achieved. When the wheel is put down in a wheel form to work, in the process of releasing the wheel, the deformation amount of the pulling spring is reduced from large to small, the pulling spring does positive work, the energy stored by the pulling spring is released, the utilization rate of the energy is improved, and when the front wheel is at the lowest position, the spring is still in a stretching state, so that a part of force can be shared by the disc-shaped driving motor, and the bearing capacity of the robot is improved.
Leg shape: when the robot walks on a rugged road and needs strong obstacle crossing capability, the robot adopts a leg shape, and when the robot works in the leg shape, the four legs are put down at first, and then the front wheel module and the rear wheel module are folded upwards. In the process of putting down the supporting legs, each supporting leg drives the thigh rod to rotate downwards around the joint by the second driving motor, drives the auxiliary rotating short rod by the third driving motor, then drives the auxiliary rotating long rod to move, finally enables the shank rod to rotate around the shank joint, and finally realizes that the four supporting legs support the robot. And in the process of folding the front wheel module and the rear wheel module, the disc-shaped driving motor rotates to drive the first bevel gear to rotate, and then the second bevel gear and the third bevel gear are driven to rotate positively and negatively. And the second bevel gear and the third bevel gear drive the plane parallelogram linkage mechanism to rotate, and finally the third connecting rod makes a plane motion with the tail end vertically translating upwards, so that the front wheel module and the rear wheel module are folded upwards. When the front wheel module and the rear wheel module are contracted to the specified height, the electromagnet is electrified to generate magnetic force, the second connecting rod in the plane parallelogram connecting mechanism is firmly adsorbed, and the disc-shaped driving motor can stop working at this time, so that the electric energy is saved. In the process that the front wheel module and the rear wheel module contract upwards, the pulling spring in the spring energy storage mechanism is continuously stretched, the deformation is continuously increased, the pulling spring stores energy, and the energy is released in the process that the front wheel module and the rear wheel module are placed down, so that the utilization rate of the energy is improved. When the robot inclines laterally, the supporting legs can rotate laterally by utilizing the driving motor on each supporting leg, so that the posture of the robot is adjusted and the robot is kept stable. When the robot works in a leg state, the obstacle crossing capability of the robot is greatly improved, and the robot can cross steps, gullies and the like. The front real-time road condition can be detected by the front vision sensor during the operation of the robot, so that the obstacle can be reasonably avoided.
Wheel leg compound motion mode: in this mode of motion, the legs, front wheel modules and rear wheel modules cooperate simultaneously. 1, when the robot works in a wheel shape for a long time, the leg shape can be used as an auxiliary mechanical arm of the robot to realize an obstacle crossing function; when the obstacle which cannot be crossed by the wheels is encountered, the two front legs are put down to support the ground, the front wheel module leaves the ground to cross the obstacle, the two front legs are retracted to continue to move forwards in a wheel shape, and the rear wheel module also adopts the method to cross the obstacle. 2 when the wheel morphism motion, when meetting the place ahead and have mobilizable barrier, can use the landing leg as supplementary arm and push away the barrier to both sides, guarantee the normal work of robot. 3 when the robot needs to carry a large load, in order to enhance the stability and the bearing of the robot, the supporting legs, the front wheel modules and the rear wheel modules are used for working simultaneously, the supporting legs, the front wheel modules and the rear wheel modules of the robot are positioned on the same horizontal plane, the front wheel modules and the rear wheel modules can bear part of the load, and the robot works forwards by means of the supporting legs.
The tilt motion mode is as follows: when the robot works on the inclined plane, the front wheel lifting mechanism and the rear wheel lifting mechanism can be positioned at different heights in the wheel form, so that the robot body can still be kept horizontal when the robot works on the inclined plane, and the robot works more stably.
Special motion mode: the wheel leg separating robot can fully combine the advantages of the independent wheel leg mechanism, so that the robot can still normally work when part of the structure fails in a severe environment. When a part of the robot fails, for example, when the front wheel module and the rear side leg fail, the robot can operate by matching the front leg with the rear wheel module.
