Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples and figures.
The main conception of the invention is that the arm structure in the humanoid mechanical arm is improved, so as to improve the operation flexibility of the whole humanoid mechanical arm; in addition, the structure of the palm component is improved so as to further improve the operating performance of the humanoid mechanical arm.
Example 1
In the present embodiment, the overall structure of the robot frogman is similar to that of the robot frogman disclosed in the patent document with the publication number CN111152244A, and the specific structure is as shown in fig. 1, the robot frogman 1 specifically includes a main body 10, a humanoid robot arm 11 and a control unit, the humanoid robot arm 11 includes a shoulder joint 12, a large arm 13, an elbow joint 14, a small arm 15 and a palm assembly 2 connected to the end of the small arm 15 through the wrist joint, and the control unit includes an arm motion driving unit. During operation, the optical fiber 01 is connected with the transfer station 02 on the water surface in a communication way.
The shoulder joint 12, the elbow joint 14, and the wrist joint can realize bending operation with more than one degree of freedom, in this embodiment, the bending operation with one degree of freedom is a swinging operation with one degree of freedom, specifically, the relative swinging between two adjacent structures connected by the driving is performed based on a joint motor, for example, the elbow joint 14 drives the large arm 13 to swing relative to the small arm 15; the specific structure of the large arm 13 and the small arm 15 is constructed by using the driving mechanism 3 for endless bending as shown in fig. 2 and 3, or one of them may be constructed by using the driving mechanism 3 for endless bending, and if both are constructed by using them, the operational flexibility can be improved more.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the driving mechanism 3 for stepless bending and twisting includes an arm body and connecting rings 30 fixedly disposed at two ends of the arm body; the arm body comprises a bendable rigid rod body 31, a woven alloy mesh sleeve 4 sleeved outside the rigid rod body 31, a flexible filling sleeve 32 filled between the rigid rod body 31 and the woven alloy mesh sleeve 4, wire coiling rings 33 fixedly arranged at two ends of the woven alloy mesh sleeve 4, and a flexible wrapping sleeve 34 tightly sleeved outside the woven alloy mesh sleeve 4. The rigid rod 31 is configured as a bendable rod structure that is not stretchable and compressible in the axial direction, for example, a steel wire rope that can be bent but cannot be stretched in the axial direction, and the connection rings 30 fixed at the two ends of the braided alloy mesh 4 are fixedly connected to the end portions of the rigid rod 31, so that the driving mechanism 3 for stepless bending and twisting can perform bending and twisting operations, and cannot perform stretching and shortening operations alone.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the woven alloy mesh 6 is a cylindrical mesh structure woven by a plurality of shape memory alloy wire sections 61, and four intersected shape memory alloy wire sections 61 enclose a rhombic mesh structure 60 with an adjustable included angle, and the two intersected shape memory alloy wire sections 61 are in conductive connection through a node connecting piece 62, and the two intersected shape memory alloy wire sections 61 are fixedly connected at a node by a node connecting piece 62, so that the two intersected shape memory alloy wire sections 61 cannot slide relatively at the node and cannot slide relatively to the node connecting piece 62, that is, on the woven alloy mesh 4, the two intersected shape memory alloy wire sections 61 are fixedly connected at the intersection of the two intersected shape memory alloy wire sections immovably through the node connecting piece 62. The shape memory alloy wire 61 is an SMA, which is the same as the alloy wire used in the robot frogman disclosed in patent publication No. CN 111152244A.
The connecting ring 30 is used for fastening to a joint drive mechanism of the shoulder joint 12, the elbow joint 14, or the wrist joint, for example, a stator or a rotor of a joint drive motor, so that the arm body can be swung relative to a component to which the arm body is connected by the joint drive mechanism. The wire ring 33 is in turn fixed to the connection ring 30 by means of screws, so that the two ends of the knitted alloy mesh 4 are indirectly fixed to the connection ring 30, i.e. the connection ring 30 and the wire ring 33 together form an outer connection ring in this embodiment.
In order to drive the arm body to twist or completely move, in the present embodiment, the arm movement driving unit is connected to the conducting wire on the node connecting piece 62 through one end, and provides an equipotential driving voltage to the intersection point of two intersected shape memory alloy wires 61 fixed on the node connecting piece 62; specifically, the arm motion driving unit is a regulated power supply module with adjustable output voltage, and the regulated power supply module can provide a plurality of voltage outputs with different potentials.
The woven alloy mesh 6 applying different potential voltages to different nodes provides a torsional drive or a complete drive for the motion of the arm body, thereby completing the torsional operation of the arm through cooperation with other components. The connecting rings 30 are connected with the elbow and shoulder joints and are fixedly connected with the rigid rod body 31 in a matching mode through a connecting structure, so that the connecting rings 30 can rotate freely, and meanwhile, the distance between the two connecting rings 30 is guaranteed to be unchanged to a certain extent, namely the connecting rings 30 are rotatably fixedly connected to the end parts of the two ends of the rigid rod body 31.
The flexible filling sleeve 32 and the flexible wrapping sleeve 34 have the functions of assisting in fixing the woven alloy mesh sleeve 4, can also be matched with the twisting of the woven alloy mesh sleeve to realize rigid impact-free arm driving, and meanwhile, have a certain protection effect on the woven alloy mesh sleeve 4. The flexible filler sleeve 32 may be selected from a material having high elasticity and low stiffness, such as latex.
The woven alloy mesh 4 is expanded in a plane to obtain an expanded view as shown in fig. 4, two ends of a shape memory alloy wire 61 are fixedly connected with the wire coil ring 33, and the other memory alloy wire sections are connected with each other through a node connecting piece 62, namely, in the embodiment, two end parts of the alloy wire are fixedly connected on the node connecting piece 62 to form a mesh shape, and a power supply lead is connected to the central area of the node connecting piece 62 and used for electrifying the shape memory alloy wire sections, namely applying a voltage with a preset potential. The specific control mode is that the current on the shape memory alloy wire section between the two node connecting pieces 62 is controlled by artificially controlling the level on the node connecting pieces 62, so as to control the contraction and relaxation of each section of alloy wire; and the deformation of each alloy wire is overlapped, and finally the complex bending or twisting action can be completed. For each segment of the alloy wire 61, only two states of full contraction and full relaxation need to be controlled, and the segment does not need to be stabilized in a certain intermediate state to control the driving position as in other applications, so that the requirement of the control algorithm of the shape memory alloy is low, namely the algorithm is simple.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, partially, as shown in fig. 5, the upper and lower sides of the arm pad are kept substantially parallel to each other by the tension of the arm pad. For the torsional motion: when one of the wires 61 is electrically shortened, as shown in fig. 6, the side length of the enclosed rhombus structure is changed, and under the tension, the two wires generate lateral displacement to act on the cylindrical arm body, and the lateral displacement is generated on the side surface of the cylinder. The superimposed displacement will cause a significant twisting motion of the arm body, thereby driving the palm to perform the twisting motion.
As shown in fig. 7 and 8, when two shape memory alloy wires 61 are electrically contracted at the same time when viewed partially, the distance between both ends in the transverse direction of the diamond structure is constant, and both sides are shortened, so that the stretching movement is generated in the height direction, as shown in fig. 8.
As can be seen from the above, all nodes on the same layer are powered on in the same manner, so that the telescopic movement between layers can be realized, and the telescopic movement between layers finally causes the bending movement of the whole arm.
As shown in FIG. 9, when the black node connection 62 is set to a low level and the white node connection 62 is set to a high level, the shape memory alloy wire 61 on the left-inclined spiral is energized and driven, and the shape memory alloy wire 61 on the right-inclined spiral is maintained at the same length. At this time, the upper fixing ring can be twisted clockwise, so as to control the rotation of the wrist. By the scheme, besides torsion, various driving modes can be realized, so that the device is not limited to be applied to the arm structure of the underwater robot and can also be applied to thigh arms or shank arms.
As shown in fig. 10, the high and low levels are set alternately, that is, the black node connecting piece 62 is set to be the low level, and the white node connecting piece 62 is set to be the high level, which is equivalent to that all the shape memory alloy wires 61 are heated to shrink, and at this time, the shrinking motion of the woven alloy mesh can be realized; based on this, if the connecting piece on one side of the alloy net is arranged between black and white, and the other side is arranged to be completely black. At this time, all the shape memory alloy wires 61 on one side are energized to contract, while all the shape memory alloy wires 61 on the other side are kept as they are. It is possible to achieve a foil-like SMA wire actuator effect by bending the length-contracted side of the alloy mesh by shortening the length of one side and maintaining the original length of the other side.
Unlike the traditional flexible arm in the prior art, the action execution does not depend on the stacking of various drivers, and the stacking scheme of different functional drivers, such as the stacking scheme of stretching or bending, does not need to be designed in advance according to the application occasions, so that the flexible arm has strong adaptability. The integral driving is realized by adopting a micro-deformation superposition mode, the control requirement on a single section of SMA wire is low, the integral control difficulty is low, and the control precision is high.
In addition, the control method is effectively simplified by controlling the woven alloy net formed by the SMA wires in a segmented manner through the contact points; the finite element thought is used for reference on the whole, and the motion of the whole arm is controlled by the change of the SMA wires of each small section of the woven alloy net.
Example 2
As an explanation of embodiment 2 of the present invention, only differences from embodiment 1 will be explained below.
Referring to the structure shown in fig. 2 and 3, the outer connecting ring includes a wire coil ring 33 and a connecting ring 30 fixedly arranged on the outer side surface of the wire coil ring 33, the joint driving mechanism is fixedly connected with the connecting ring 30, and a wire passing hole 330 for the shape memory alloy wire to pass through for weaving is arranged on the wire coil ring 33; the woven alloy net cover 4 is formed by weaving a single piece of shape memory alloy wire, the connecting ring 30 tightly presses the wire coil ring 33, and the alloy wire section part which is positioned on the outer side surface of the wire coil ring 33 and between the two wire passing holes 330 is tightly pressed and fixed, so that the fixed connection is facilitated.
