Description

Omnidirectional moving spherical robot
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of omnidirectional moving spherical robot, belong to electromechanical integration technology area, be specifically related to a kind of ball shape robot, can be used for fields such as environment detection, military investigation, Extraterrestrial adventure, home entertaining.
Background technology
Ball shape robot is a kind of rolling walking robot of new structure, has characteristics such as kinematic velocity is fast, off-road capability good, control is simple relatively, becomes one of the focus in domestic and international Research on Intelligent Robots field gradually.First real ball shape robot be people such as Finland Halme at design-calculated in 1996 (referring to " Motion ControlofA Spherical Mobile robot ", Proceedings of AMC ' 96-MIE, IEEE, 1996:259-264), they are provided with a drive wheel in spherical shell, it rolls in spherical shell by motor-driven, realize the straight-line motion of robot by the center of gravity that changes spheroid, but shortcoming is to change sense of motion.After this, constantly occur various new spherical robot device both at home and abroad, several ball shape robot schemes wherein have much representativeness.
Roball a kind of ball shape robot scheme that to be people such as Francois Michaud propose in calendar year 2001 is (referring to " Autonomous Spherical Mobile Robot for Child Development Studies ", IEEETransactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, 35 (4): 1-10; The close domestic patent No. is 01241360.7 utility model " ball shape robot "), it hangs weight on the main shaft of crossing the centre of sphere, seesaw as straight line by the motor-driven spherical shell that is installed on the main shaft, vert about spheroid to realize that robot turns to by driving to be offset about weight to make.The control of this scheme is simple, but can not static pivot stud, and two motors must overcome the rotor inertia of spherical shell and weight respectively, thereby the power-handling capability of electric machine assembly is had relatively high expectations; Simultaneously, in the time of outside main shaft stretches out spherical shell, must consider the problem of contacting to earth that banked turn is possible.
Application number is 200510011953.9 " omnibearing movable spherical robot ", a kinematic mechanism that is not connected with spherical shell is arranged in spherical shell inside, it rolls in spherical shell by the single wheel tourelle, promote the spheroid moving linearly, by change the relative supporting mechanism of single wheel tourelle towards the omnibearing movable of realizing robot.This scenario-frame is succinct, and is easy for installation, but the rolling touch of single wheel tourelle and spherical shell guarantees by the deadweight of kinematic mechanism, thereby the resistance to shock deficiency; Simultaneously, because the randomness of balls tumble does not have fixed interface on the spherical shell, can not externally carry associate member, thereby must open spherical shell when charging and safeguarding, the leak tightness of spheroid is affected.
The patent No. is 02128933.6 " improved all-direction moving unit for spherical robot ", and an annulus is arranged in spherical shell, and two short supporting axles are stretched out at two, has a motor to drive annulus by gear mesh on the annulus and does relative rolling with spherical shell; Place a major axis on the direction vertical with minor axis in the annulus, the major axis center is provided with clump weight, and another motor drives the relative rolling around major axis of spherical shell and clump weight do by gear mesh on the annulus.This scenario-frame is complicated, center of gravity is higher, can not be difficult to externally carry associate member at the at a point pivot stud, and charging waits work to have difficulty with maintenance.
It seems that totally existing ball shape robot scheme is each has something to recommend him, but mostly exist the deficiency that complex structure, Project Realization are difficult, practicality is lower.Particularly, the divertical motion of some device and forward movement coupling make that the state of spheroid internal drive mechanism is uncertain, have strengthened the control difficulty; Seldom can limit the use of robot in narrow and tortuous space at the at a point pivot stud, and the ground-surface relatively pivot stud mode of shell if unsighted; No external stability interface or can not carry annex outside spherical shell causes debugging in the actual use, charging and difficult in maintenance, has limited effective use of various environment detection sensors and manipulator simultaneously.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is: propose that a kind of novel structure, control are simple, good stability, practical, have good anti-vibration and a shock resistance, and can omnidirectional moving and at the at a point pivot stud, can outside spherical shell, carry the ball shape robot organization plan of annex, overcome the deficiency of existing scheme.
Technical solution of the present invention is: omnidirectional moving spherical robot, form by spherical shell and in-to-in travel driving unit thereof.This travel driving unit comprises horizontal circular ring and the vertical semicircle frame that is fixed on the horizontal circular ring downside; Horizontal circular ring is along its diametric(al) outside symmetry a pair of minor axis that is connected, minor axis along the sphere diameter direction through bearing and spherical shell formation revolute pair; The below of the semicircle frame straight line moving mechanism that is connected, this mechanism is made up of movable motor, main wheel and counterweight, and main wheel is side roll in movable motor drives the lower edge spherical shell, promotes the spheroid straight-line motion by moving forward and backward the spheroid center of gravity; The top of semicircle frame is equipped with and turns to control mechanism, this mechanism is made up of steer motor, horizon bar and the mass that is connected the horizon bar two ends, horizon bar and the mass geometric center lines around the semicircle frame under the driving of steer motor is rotated, thereby causes that the spherical shell backward rotation changes the sense of motion of spheroid.
The advantage of this scheme is:
1) driver train is succinct, and center of gravity is in the below of spheroid, and good stability, system response time are fast;
2) two motors drive the straight-line motion and the divertical motion of spheroid respectively, and the mode decoupling zero can realize walking of ball shape robot omnidirectional and at a point pivot stud;
3) straight line moving mechanism if constitute the slip-off preventing constraint, can effectively improve the motion vibration resistance of ball shape robot if be provided with the pressure regulator of regulating main wheel and spherical shell contact force between mass and the horizontal circular ring;
4) vertically be fixed on semicircle frame upside bottom when steer motor, the described control mechanism that turns to comprises that also one one end links to each other with motor shaft, the vertical rotating shaft that is connected with horizon bar of the other end.This moment, all electric components did not all have relative motion, thereby mutual line winding can not occur, need not to help centralized and unified control by electric slip ring;
5) if horizontal circular ring is set to hollow minor axis and stretches out spherical shell along a pair of minor axis that its diametric(al) outside symmetry is connected, then can carry annex (being used to load camera, various attitude or environmental sensor, antenna, battery, charging inlet, counterweight etc.), thereby improve the practical value of ball shape robot;
6) when the qi of chong channel ascending adversely leakproofing material in spherical shell outer wrap lightweight, it is big that the spherical shell external diameter becomes, and can improve ball shape robot water surface locomotor activity and shock resistance;
7) be that benchmark can be provided with working face with the horizontal circular ring.
