Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a foot end device, a mechanical leg and a bionic robot.
Background
Along with the continuous promotion of the technological level, the bionic robot is widely focused by a plurality of enterprises, research institutions and universities at home and abroad, and in view of the fact that the application scenes of the bionic robot are diversified, uneven pavement, stairs, cobblestone pavement, soil land and the like are provided, and when walking in the application scenes, the bionic robot is inevitably subjected to impact force from the direction vertical to the ground and the direction horizontal to the ground. These impact forces can lead to the generation of great slippage between the foot end of the bionic robot and the ground, so that the posture of the bionic robot is unstable, and in addition, the dynamic unbalance force can be aggravated, so that the bionic robot shakes, and the risk of cracking of a structural member is increased. In view of this, it is necessary to design the cushioning performance of the foot end of the bionic robot.
At present, the foot end of part of bionic robots in the market adopts a spherical rubber inflation structure. The inflated spherical rubber is adhered to the sole of the foot end by using glue and serves as an inflation spring to play a role in buffering and damping. However, when the foot end is subjected to repeated impact force, the spherical rubber is easy to fall off, if the air pressure in the spherical rubber is too large, the rebound force of the foot end is too large, the walking stability of the bionic robot can be affected, and if the air pressure in the spherical rubber is too small, the buffer performance is insufficient, and larger slippage is generated with the ground. In addition, soft foam is adopted at the foot end of part of the bionic robot to achieve the purpose of buffering and damping, but the foam is poor in wear resistance and short in service life, meanwhile, the contact friction force between the foam and the ground is small, sliding is easy to occur between the foam and the ground under horizontal impact, and the stability of the bionic robot is reduced.

Detailed Description
In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, whereby the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
The embodiment of the application provides a bionic robot, which can be specifically intelligent equipment imitating animals, such as a machine dog, a machine cat and the like. Taking a bionic robot as an example, the robot dog has the same structural form, walking mode, life habit and the like as the dog, can assist human beings to complete various works, particularly to develop dangerous works, or to reach places where the human beings are difficult to reach to develop the works such as detection, search and rescue.
The bionic robot comprises a robot main body and mechanical legs arranged on the robot main body. The robot main body is internally provided with functional equipment such as a controller, a battery and the like. The battery supplies power to the controller so that the controller can output instructions to the mechanical legs to enable the mechanical legs to complete walking, jumping and other actions.
Illustratively, the mechanical leg includes at least a thigh, a shank, a drive unit, a transmission unit, and a foot end device. The driving unit and the transmission unit are respectively arranged on the thigh, the shank is rotationally connected with the thigh through the joint module, the shank is connected with the transmission unit, and the foot end device is arranged at one end of the shank far away from the thigh. The driving unit drives the transmission unit to move, so that the lower leg is driven to rotate and swing relative to the thigh, and the foot end device and the ground generate relative movement through friction force, so that the bionic robot walks.
Preferably, the four mechanical legs are arranged on the robot main body in a rectangular shape. The four mechanical legs support the robot main body stably, and the gravity center of the bionic robot is ensured to be stable.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a foot end device according to an embodiment of the present application includes: the foot end bracket 10, the first traveling wheel set 30, the first elastic shock absorbing unit 40, the second traveling wheel set 50, and the second elastic shock absorbing unit 60. The foot end bracket 10 is used for loading and fixing the other components and simultaneously realizing assembly connection with the lower leg. The assembly mode can be screw connection, welding, riveting, buckling connection and the like, and can be specifically selected according to actual needs.
A rotating shaft assembly 20 is rotatably arranged on the foot end bracket 10; the first traveling wheel set 30 is disposed at one end of the rotating shaft assembly 20; the first elastic damping unit 40 is disposed in the first traveling wheel set 30; the second traveling wheel set 50 is disposed at the other end of the rotating shaft assembly 20, and the second traveling wheel set 50 and the first traveling wheel set 30 are respectively disposed at two opposite sides of the foot end bracket 10; the second elastic shock absorbing unit 60 is disposed in the second running gear set 50.
In summary, implementing the technical scheme of the embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the foot end device of the scheme is applied to mechanical legs of the bionic robot, and is an execution member for the mechanical legs to directly contact the ground so as to realize walking of the bionic robot. When the mechanical legs bend, swing and walk back and forth, the first walking wheel set 30 and the second walking wheel set 50 rotate relative to the foot end support 10 through the rotating shaft assembly 20, so that the bionic robot walks stably and quickly. In this process, the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 are in contact with the ground, and at this time, the impact force perpendicular to the ground direction will squeeze the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 to deform, and the deformation process is an energy absorption process, so that the impact force perpendicular to the ground direction can be buffered and attenuated. Meanwhile, the impact force generated in the horizontal direction is transmitted to the first elastic shock absorbing unit 40 and the second elastic shock absorbing unit 60 through the first traveling wheel set 30 and the second traveling wheel set 50, and at this time, the first elastic shock absorbing unit 40 and the second elastic shock absorbing unit 60 are elastically deformed to quickly absorb the impact energy in the horizontal direction, so that the phenomenon that rigid displacement is generated due to the fact that the impact force in the horizontal direction is larger than the friction force between the first traveling wheel set 30 and the second traveling wheel set 50 and the ground is effectively inhibited, and the effects of buffering and attenuating the impact force in the horizontal direction are achieved.
Compared with the prior art, the foot end device of the scheme not only can effectively buffer the composite impact force in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, but also has high use reliability because the first elastic damping unit 40 and the second elastic damping unit 60 are respectively arranged in the first traveling wheel set 30 and the second traveling wheel set 50, and therefore the problem of loosening and falling cannot occur due to impact, and rolling friction is generated between the first traveling wheel set 30 and the second traveling wheel set 50 and the ground, so that the friction force is small, the friction and abrasion are reduced, and the service life of the foot end device is prolonged.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, each of the first elastic shock absorbing unit 40 and the second elastic shock absorbing unit 60 includes at least two elastic elements 70, and at least two elastic elements 70 are circumferentially spaced apart in the rotation plane of the first running gear set 30 and the second running gear set 50. In this way, when the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 rotate, at least two elastic elements 70 are arranged in the inner circumferential direction of the rotation plane, and at least one elastic element 70 is always located in or approximately located in the horizontal plane, so as to absorb and buffer the impact force generated in the horizontal direction, and prevent the foot end device from generating rigid displacement relative to the ground.
Preferably, each of the first elastic shock absorbing unit 40 and the second elastic shock absorbing unit 60 includes three elastic elements 70, and the three elastic elements 70 are arranged at equal angular intervals along the circumferential direction in the rotation plane of the first running gear set 30 and the second running gear set 50. In this way, by equiangularly arranging three elastic elements 70 in the vertical rotation plane, that is, arranging six elastic elements 70 on the left side and the right side in total, it can be ensured that two elastic elements 70 are always in or approximately in the horizontal plane at the same time, thereby enhancing the buffering and damping effects on impact force generated in the horizontal direction and ensuring stable walking posture of the bionic robot.
On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the elastic element 70 is provided as a linear spring, for example. The linear spring has the advantages of simple structure, good elastic capability and convenient installation, and can play an excellent role in buffering and damping impact force in the linear direction through self shrinkage.
Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic element 70 may be an elastic member or device having elastic capability such as an elastic column or a spring plate, and having an impact-absorbing function.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, at least two mounting grooves 11 are formed on two opposite sides of the foot end bracket 10, and at least a portion of the elastic element 70 is inserted into the mounting grooves 11 and fixed therein. Thus, the groove walls of the mounting groove 11 play a limiting role on the elastic element 70, so that the elastic element 70 is stably mounted; in addition, the groove wall of the mounting groove 11 also plays a role in guiding the expansion and contraction deformation of the elastic element 70, so that the elastic element 70 can better counteract the horizontal impact force.
The elastic member 70 has a substantial shock absorbing effect on the impact force in the horizontal direction, and the elastic member 70 absorbs and stores impact energy by its own shrinkage deformation to attenuate and consume the impact force in the horizontal direction. Further, the foot end device according to any of the above embodiments further includes a first friction plate 80 and a second friction plate 90, wherein the first friction plate 80 is connected between the first running gear set 30 and the foot end bracket 10, and the second friction plate 90 is connected between the second running gear set 50 and the foot end bracket 10.
The first friction plate 80 and the second friction plate 90 are tightly attached to the foot end bracket 10 under the compression action of the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 respectively, so as to generate a rotating friction force. The elastic element 70 can quickly release the impact energy after absorbing the impact energy, and the friction force generated at the moment can effectively attenuate the energy released by the elastic element 70, so that the foot end device is prevented from shaking, and the stable gesture of the bionic robot is prevented from being influenced.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, further, the first friction plate 80 and the second friction plate 90 are provided with at least two avoidance holes 90a, the avoidance holes 90a are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the mounting grooves 11, and the portions of the elastic elements 70 extending out of the mounting grooves 11 are disposed in the avoidance holes 90a in a penetrating manner. The avoidance holes 90a are used for allowing the elastic element 70 to pass through, so that the first friction plate 80 and the second friction plate 90 can be clung to the side surface of the foot end bracket 10 to generate friction force, thereby realizing attenuation and consumption of energy released by the elastic element 70.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, in addition, on the basis of any of the foregoing embodiments, the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 each include a hub 31, at least two limiting grooves 311 are formed on a side of the hub 31 facing the foot end support 10, and a portion of the elastic element 70 passing through the avoidance hole 90a is inserted into the limiting grooves 311. The limiting groove 311 is used for restraining the degree of freedom of the elastic element 70 on the opposite side of the mounting groove 11, ensuring that the elastic element 70 is stably mounted, avoiding the elastic deformation and displacement and even falling when being impacted.
On the basis of the above embodiment, the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 further comprise a tire core 32 and a tire tread 33, the tire core 32 is sleeved on the hub 31, and the tire tread 33 is sleeved on the hub 31 and covers the outside of the tire core 32; wherein the tire core 32 is made of soft rubber, and the tire tread 33 is made of hard rubber. The tire tread 33 is made of hard rubber, so that the wear resistance is improved, and the sufficient service life of the foot end device is ensured; the inner tire core 32 is made of soft rubber, so that sufficient buffering and energy absorbing effects are guaranteed, and impact force in the vertical direction is quickly attenuated.
Further, the first running gear set 30 and the second running gear set 50 each further comprise a mechanical mounting structure by which the tire tread 33 is detachably connected to the hub 31. The tire tread 33 is arranged outside the tire core 32 and the hub 31 in a mechanical matching mode, so that the falling risk of the tire tread 33 can be effectively reduced under the action of alternating load, and once the tire tread 33 is worn in the mechanical matching installation mode, the tire tread 33 can be quickly detached and replaced, and the tire is convenient and efficient; the traditional gluing mode is quite prone to falling off and failure under alternating load impact, and maintenance after falling off is difficult.
For example, the mechanical installation structure can be any one of connection modes in the prior art, such as a threaded connection structure, a buckle connection structure, a mortise-tenon connection structure, a wedging connection structure and the like, and the mechanical installation structure is specifically selected according to actual needs.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, the shaft assembly 20 includes a shaft body 21, a shaft end fastening assembly and a shaft sleeve 24, the shaft sleeve 24 is inserted into a preset hole of the foot end support 10, the shaft body 21 is rotatably inserted into the shaft sleeve 24, the first anti-rotation sleeve 100 is disposed at a first end of the shaft body 21, the shaft end fastening assembly is disposed at a first end of the shaft body 21 and is in limit fit with the first anti-rotation sleeve 100, and the second anti-rotation sleeve 110 is fixed at a second end of the shaft body 21.

The first anti-rotation sleeve 100 and the second anti-rotation sleeve 110 are respectively inserted into the corresponding anti-rotation holes 312, so that the left hub 31 and the right hub 31 can be assembled and fixed with the rotating shaft body 21 into a whole, and further the first traveling wheel set 30 and the second traveling wheel set 50 can be ensured to synchronously rotate, and the bionic robot can stably and smoothly walk.
In addition, after the shaft end fastening assembly is locked with the rotating shaft body 21, the first running wheel set 30 and the second running wheel set 50 can apply a pretightening force inwards, so that the first friction plate 80 and the second friction plate 90 are tightly adhered to the foot end bracket 10, and a large enough friction force can be generated to offset the energy released by the elastic element 70.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, specifically, the shaft end fastening assembly includes a fastening connector 22 and a pressing plate 23, where the pressing plate 23 is fixed to the first end of the rotating shaft body 21 by the fastening connector 22, and the pressing plate 23 is tightly attached to a side surface of the first anti-rotation sleeve 100.
