Description

Structural decoupling type six-dimensional force sensor and measuring method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a structural decoupling type six-dimensional force sensor and a measuring method thereof, belonging to the field of sensors.
Background
The six-dimensional force/moment sensor is a force sensor capable of simultaneously measuring a three-dimensional orthogonal force and a three-dimensional orthogonal moment in space, and is a new sensor which appears along with the development of the robot technology since the 70 th of the 20 th century. The six-dimensional force/moment sensor was initially studied to enable robots to be applied to more complex tasks, and was later applied to various fields of civil engineering, aerospace, national defense and military, machining, automobile manufacturing, medical instruments, and the like. With the continuous development of industrial informatization, the six-dimensional force/torque sensor needs to meet the requirements of more and more diversified tasks under various scenes, so that the requirements of the multi-dimensional force sensor are higher and higher.
The high cross sensitivity between different axes caused by coupling interference between different dimensions of an early sensor structure can influence the accuracy of the sensor to a great extent, so that a complex calibration test and a decoupling algorithm are required to obtain a decoupling matrix, and the speed of obtaining a result is influenced. Designing a special structure to minimize the inherent coupling of the sensor is therefore an urgent problem to be solved.
The structure design of the prior six-dimensional force sensor for improving the precision and the sensitivity of the sensor and reducing the influence of coupling among dimensions generally has the problems of complex structure, difficult processing and assembly, low structure safety, improper contact force and the like; for example, chinese patent CN208867192U and chinese patent CN 103487194 a adopt a space orthogonal structure to reduce coupling, but have the disadvantages of complex structure and complex processing and assembly; the Chinese patent CN 105181193A and the Chinese patent CN 208595994U are decoupled by adding a flexible thin-wall cylinder and a flexible hinge in the structure, but have the problems of poor safety, no overload protection and easy damage of a sensor; chinese patent CN 104048790 a and chinese patent CN 102095534 a adopt a relative sliding structure to achieve decoupling, but the relative displacement of such rectangular grooves can generate additional force to affect the decoupling effect due to improper contact such as deflection, so further improvement is still needed for the main structure.
The six-dimensional force sensor has a simple and compact structure, realizes the decoupling of force and moment, has overload protection capability and has a very wide application prospect.

4. Firstly, applying force or moment on an upper-layer ring body by taking the center of the upper surface of a central hemispherical rotating body as a reference point, then leading the central reflection wavelengths of first to twelfth fiber gratings to shift due to the stress deformation of a structure, measuring the shift amount of each wavelength, and finally calculating the applied force or moment according to the shift amount of the wavelength, wherein a difference signal delta lambda 13 of the wavelength shift amounts of the first fiber grating and the third fiber grating is delta lambda 1-delta lambda 3 and is used for calculating an Fx signal; a difference signal delta lambda 24 of the wavelength drift amounts of the second fiber grating and the fourth fiber grating is delta lambda 2-delta lambda 4 and is used for calculating an Fy signal; a difference signal delta lambda 57 of the wavelength drift amounts of the fifth fiber bragg grating and the seventh fiber bragg grating is delta lambda 5-delta lambda 7 and is used for calculating a My signal; a difference signal delta lambda 68 of the wavelength drift amounts of the sixth fiber grating and the eighth fiber grating is delta lambda 6-delta lambda 8 and is used for calculating an Mx signal; a difference signal Δ λ 910 of the wavelength drift amounts of the ninth fiber grating and the tenth fiber grating is Δ λ 9- Δ λ 10, which is used for calculating Mz; the sum signal Δ λ 1112 of the wavelength drift amount of the twelfth fiber grating and the wavelength drift amount of the eleventh fiber grating is Δ λ 11+ Δ λ 12, and is used to calculate Fz.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the invention is different from the existing six-dimensional force sensor adopting decoupling means such as double cross beams, elastic hinges and the like, combines the thought of a sliding structure on the basis of the traditional cross beam structure, does not generate extra errors caused by improper contact by using the three-dimensional rotation of a spherical structure, realizes the decoupling requirement, and has compact integral structure, good symmetry, easy processing and assembly and strong universality.
The main structure of the invention adopts the overload protection device, and a certain distance exists between the upper elastomer and the lower elastomer, between the beam structure and the ball limiting cover, so as to limit the failure of the sensor when the deformation is overlarge.
