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 existing six-dimensional force sensor has the problems of complex structure, difficult processing and assembly, low structural safety, improper contact force and the like in order to improve the precision and sensitivity of the sensor and reduce the influence of coupling between dimensions; for example, the chinese patent CN208867192U and the chinese patent CN 103487194A adopt a space orthogonal structure to reduce coupling, but have the disadvantages of more complex structure and complex processing and assembly; the Chinese patent CN 105181193A and the Chinese patent CN 208595994U add a flexible thin-wall cylinder and a flexible hinge in the structure for decoupling, but have the problems of poor safety, no overload protection and easy damage of a sensor; chinese patent CN 104048790A and chinese patent CN 102095534A adopt a relative sliding structure to realize decoupling, but the relative displacement of such rectangular groove may generate an 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 circular 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 structural stress deformation, measuring the shift amount of each wavelength, and finally calculating the applied force or moment through the shift amount of the wavelength, wherein a difference signal delta lambda 13= delta lambda 1-delta lambda 3 of the wavelength shift amounts of the first fiber grating and the third fiber grating is used for calculating an Fx signal; the difference signal delta lambda 24= delta lambda 2-delta lambda 4 of the wavelength drift amounts of the second fiber bragg grating and the fourth fiber bragg grating is used for calculating an Fy signal; a difference signal delta lambda 57= delta lambda 5-delta lambda 7 of the wavelength drift amounts of the fifth fiber bragg grating and the seventh fiber bragg grating is used for calculating a My signal; the difference signal delta lambda 68= delta lambda 6-delta lambda 8 of the wavelength drift amounts of the sixth fiber grating and the eighth fiber grating is used for calculating an Mx signal; a difference signal Δ λ 910= Δ λ 9- Δ λ 10 of wavelength drift amounts of the ninth fiber grating and the tenth fiber grating for calculating Mz; the sum signal Δ λ 1112= Δ λ 11+ Δ λ 12 of the wavelength shift amount of the twelfth fiber grating and the wavelength shift amount of the eleventh fiber grating 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.
The fiber grating six-dimensional force sensor provided by the invention has the advantages that the number of the fiber grating elements is only 12, and compared with a sensor of a resistance strain gauge bridge measurement principle which generally needs 24 strain gauges, the number of the sensitive elements is reduced by one time. Meanwhile, the optical wavelength information is used as an output signal of the sensor, and the sensor has the advantages of electromagnetic interference resistance, small appearance, easiness in multiplexing and the like.
According to the measuring method, the wavelength value output information of six groups of fiber gratings formed by 12 fiber gratings is used, and the automatic decoupling output of the six-dimensional force and moment measurement information is realized. Therefore, the invention reduces the coupling between dimensions and realizes the self-decoupling measurement of three-dimensional force and three-dimensional moment.

The difference value of the wavelength drift amount is used as an output signal of the measuring unit, so that the measuring sensitivity is improved, and the wavelength homodromous and equivalent drift caused by the change of the environmental temperature are eliminated through the difference value;
2. when a force Fy in the y direction acts, the wavelengths of the FBGs 1 and 3 do not drift, and the difference value of the wavelength drift amounts of the FBGs 1 and 3 is not output; when a force Fz in the z direction acts, the wavelength drift of the FBG1 and the FBG3 is in the same direction and equivalent, and the difference value of the wavelength drift of the FBG1 and the FBG3 is not output;
3. when a moment Mx around the X-axis direction acts, the deformation is mainly concentrated on the inner rectangular beam arranged in the lower elastic disc along the Y-axis, the deformation of the upper elastic disc is not obvious, the wavelength drift of the FBG1 and the FBG3 is insensitive to the Mx, and the difference value of the wavelength drift of the FBG1 and the FBG3 has no output;
4. when a moment My around the Y-axis direction acts, the deformation is mainly concentrated on an inner rectangular beam arranged in the lower elastic disc along the X-axis, the deformation of the upper elastic disc is not obvious, the wavelength drift of the FBGs 1 and 3 is not sensitive to the My, and the difference value of the wavelength drift amounts of the FBGs 1 and 3 is not output;
5. when a moment Mz around the Z-axis direction acts, the deformation is mainly concentrated on the outer rectangular beam in the lower elastic disc, the deformation of the upper elastic disc is not obvious, the wavelength drift of the FBG1 and the FBG3 is insensitive to the Mz, even if the upper elastic disc deforms and has micro torsional deformation, the deformation states of the FBG1 and the FBG3 are consistent, the wavelength drift is consistent, and the difference value of the wavelength drift amounts of the FBG1 and the FBG3 is not output;
therefore, the differential output of the wavelength drift amount of the measurement unit consisting of the FBG1 and the FBG3 realizes the self-decoupling measurement sensitive to the Fx only. In the same analysis method, the sensor is rotated by 90 degrees along the Z axis, and the difference output of the wavelength drift amount of the measurement unit consisting of the FBG2 and the FBG4 can realize self-decoupling measurement sensitive to Fy only.
FBG5 and FBG7 are combined into a pair of measuring means, and the difference output of the respective wavelength drift amounts of FBG5 and FBG7 is used to measure the moment My around the Y-axis direction:
1. when a moment My around the Y-axis direction acts on an upper layer outer ring body serving as a loading ring, the two lower layer inner moment beams along the X-axis direction deform obviously, strain with the same size and opposite sign is generated at the arrangement positions of the FBGs 5 and 7, the wavelength drift of the FBGs 5 and 7 is equal in size and opposite in direction, the difference value of the wavelength drift amount is used as an output signal of a measuring unit, the measuring sensitivity is improved, and the wavelength homodromous and equivalent drift caused by the change of the environmental temperature are eliminated after the difference value;
2. when a force Fx or Fy in the x or y direction acts, the lower layer elastic disc is limited to move in the groove due to the central hemispherical rotating body and does not deform obviously, the wavelength drift of the FBG5 and the FBG7 is insensitive to the Fx and the Fy, and the difference value of the wavelength drift of the FBG5 and the FBG7 is not output;
3. when a force Fz in the z direction acts, the deformation trends of the rectangular beams in the four lower layers are consistent, the arrangement positions of the FBGs 5 and 7 generate strains with the same size and the same sign, and the wavelength drift amounts of the FBGs 5 and 7 are not output after difference processing;
4. when the moment Mx around the X-axis direction acts, the deformation states of the two lower-layer inner rectangular beams of the FBGs 5 and 7 along the X-axis direction are consistent, the FBGs 5 and 7 generate the same wavelength drift, and the wavelength drift amounts of the FBGs 5 and 7 are processed by difference values and then are not output;
5. when the moment Mz around the Z-axis direction acts, the two lower-layer inner rectangular beams of the FBGs 5 and 7 along the X-axis direction do not deform obviously, even if weak deformation occurs, the deformation states of the arrangement positions of the FBGs 5 and 7 are consistent, the FBGs 5 and 7 generate the same wavelength drift, and the wavelength drift amounts of the FBGs 5 and 7 are not output after difference processing;
therefore, the differential output of the wavelength drift amount of the measurement unit consisting of the FBG5 and the FBG7 realizes the self-decoupling measurement sensitive to My only. In the same analysis method, the sensor is rotated by 90 degrees along the Z axis, and the difference output of the wavelength drift amount of the measurement unit consisting of the FBG6 and the FBG8 can realize self-decoupling measurement sensitive to Mx only.
FBG9 and FBG10 are combined into a pair of measurement units, and the difference output of the respective wavelength drift amounts of FBG9 and FBG10 is used to measure the moment Mz around the Z-axis direction:
1. when a moment Mz around the Z-axis direction acts on an upper layer outer annular body serving as a loading ring, a lower layer outer rectangular beam provided with FBG9 and FBG10 is mainly deformed, strain with the same size and opposite sign is generated at the arrangement positions of the FBG9 and the FBG10, the wavelength drifts of the FBG9 and the FBG10 are equal in size and opposite in direction, the difference value of the wavelength drift amounts is used as an output signal of a measuring unit, the measuring sensitivity is improved, and the wavelength homodromous and equivalent drifts caused by the change of the environmental temperature are eliminated after the difference value;
2. when a force Fx, fy or Fz acts in the x, y or z direction, deformation mainly occurs in the upper elastic disc, the lower elastic disc is not obviously deformed due to the limitation of the central sphere by the groove and the sphere limiting cover, the wavelength drift of the FBGs 9 and 10 is not sensitive to the Fx, the Fy and the Fz, and the difference value of the wavelength drift of the FBGs 9 and 10 is not output;
3. when the moment Mx or My around the X-axis or Y-axis direction acts, the FBG9 and the FBG10 are in the same deformation state at the arrangement positions, the FBG9 and the FBG10 generate the same wavelength drift, and the wavelength drift amount of the FBG5 and the FBG7 is not output after difference processing;
it can be seen that the differential output of the wavelength drift amounts of the measurement units consisting of the FBGs 9 and 10 realizes the self-decoupling measurement sensitive only to Mz.
FBGs 11 and 12 are combined into a pair of measuring units for measuring the force Fz in the z direction:
1. when a force Fz in the z direction acts on an upper layer outer annular body serving as a loading ring, deformation is mainly concentrated on an upper elastic disc, deformation of two upper layer outer rectangular beams is obvious, strain with the same size and the same sign is generated at the arrangement positions of the FBGs 11 and 12, the wavelength drift directions of the FBGs 11 and 12 are also the same, and the sum of the wavelength drift amounts serves as an output signal of a measuring unit, so that the measuring sensitivity is improved;
2. when a force Fx or Fy along the x or y direction acts, the FBGs 11 and 12 are arranged along the Z-axis direction, so that the deformation is not obvious;
3. when moments Mx, my and Mz around the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions act, deformation is mainly concentrated on the lower elastic disc due to the fact that the central sphere rotates in the groove and the sphere limiting cover, and the wavelength of the FBG12 is free of drift;
it can be seen that the output of the measurement unit consisting of FBGs 11 and 12 enables self-decoupling measurements that are sensitive only to Fz.
