本实施例中控制行走圆盘1的行走模块包括行走驱动电机2、倾斜角调节机构3、万向传动轴4和旋转调节机构5。万向传动轴4沿着竖直方向设置,行走驱动电机2与万向传动轴4的上端连接并驱动万向传动轴4转动,行走圆盘1固定在万向传动轴4的下端,使得万向传动轴4转动能够带动行走圆盘1转动。倾斜角调节机构3和旋转调节机构5设置在行走驱动电机2和行走圆盘1之间,倾斜角调节机构3与万向传动轴4固定连接,控制万向传动轴4偏转,使行走圆盘1与工作平面之间形成倾斜角A。
为了能够实现万向传动,本实施例的万向传动轴4包括第一万向轴41、十字轴42和第二万向轴43,第一万向轴41通过十字轴42与第二万向轴43活动连接,使得第二万向轴43相对第一万向轴41做任意方向的偏转后万向传动轴4仍能够正常的驱动行走圆盘1 转动。第一万向轴41与行走驱动电机2连接,第二万向轴43与行走圆盘1连接,倾斜角调节机构3与第二万向轴43连接,控制第二万向轴43的偏转。
本实施例中,由于全向行走装置的触地点需要根据行进方向确定,为了能够配合不同的行走方向,设置旋转调节机构5,驱动触地点的位置改变。旋转调节机构5包括角度调节箱51、调节箱底座52、旋转轴承53和旋转驱动马达54,为了避免倾斜角调节机构3和旋转调节机构5之间相互干扰,本实施例中采用角度调节箱51将两种机构分隔,倾斜角调节机构3设置在角度调节箱51中,在具体生产实施中,可以根据使用需要采用隔板等结构将两种机构分隔。旋转轴承53转动连接角度调节箱51和调节箱底座52,第二万向轴43穿过角度调节箱51、旋转轴承53和调节箱底座52,旋转驱动马达54与角度调节箱51连接并驱动角度调节箱51旋转,使得设置在角度调节箱51内部的倾斜角调节机构3随着角度调节箱51转动。
为了使角度调节箱51能够稳定的旋转,调节箱底座52上设有环绕第二万向轴43设置环形支撑轴521,环形支撑轴521向上伸出,旋转轴承53套装在环形支撑轴521上;角度调节箱51的底部设有向下突出的环形突边511,环形突边511的大小与旋转轴承53的大小吻合并固定套装在旋转轴承53外,使得旋转轴承53的位置被限定在角度调节箱51和环形突边511之间。为了方便驱动角度调节箱51转动,环形突边511外套装有环形齿轮512,旋转调节机构5设有旋转驱动齿轮组55,旋转驱动齿轮组55与环形齿轮512啮合,旋转驱动马达54通过旋转驱动齿轮组55驱动环形齿轮512转动,环形齿轮512带动角度调节箱51转动。
为了避免第二万向轴43在转动时与角度调节箱51和调节箱底座52产生碰撞,影响行走圆盘1的转动,角度调节箱51底部设有供万向传动轴4穿出的第一通孔513,第一通孔513的直径为a,第二万向轴43的直径为d,a、d满足1.5d≥a>d;调节箱底座52上设有与第一通孔513对应的第二通孔522,第二通孔522的直径为b,b、d满足1.5d≥b>d。
由于通过控制第二万向轴43的偏转,能够控制行走圆盘1的倾斜角,本实施例的倾斜角调节机构3设置在与第二万向轴43对应的位置,倾斜角调节机构3包括角度调节板31和翻转机构。角度调节板31上设有外圈与角度调节板31固定连接的偏转轴承311,偏转轴承311的内圈与第二万向轴43固定连接,使得第二万向轴43可自由转动且角度调节板31在第二万向轴43上的轴向位置固定。翻转机构连接在角度调节板31的一端,翻转机构驱动角度调节板31水平翻转,使得角度调节板31带动第二万向轴43与与竖直方向形成夹角。
为了能够精确的控制角度调节板31 的翻转角度,翻转机构包括旋转螺杆32、调节齿轮箱33和调节电机34,旋转螺杆32与角度调节板31的一端螺纹连接,旋转螺杆32的另一端可转动的固定在调节齿轮箱33中,调节齿轮箱33中设有带动旋转螺杆32转动的旋转齿轮331,调节电机34通过设置在电机轴上的齿轮驱动旋转齿轮331转动,使得旋转螺杆32精确的上升或下降,带动角度调节板31 翻转,第二万向轴43 偏转。
此外由于若行走圆盘1倾斜角为 0°,则行走圆盘1平趴在工作平面上,与工作平面的摩擦力相互抵消,行走圆盘1原地转动;若行走圆盘1倾斜角为 90°,则与轮子无异,全向行走装置无法依靠两个行走圆盘1保持平衡,而且附着在盘式结构上的拖布与工作平面接触面积最小,无法进行有效的清洁。为了保证全向行走装置行走,也同时保证清洁效率,行走圆盘1需要稍微倾斜,圆盘倾斜角A的大小满足10°≥A≥0,若行走圆盘1倾斜角越大则单次清洁工作平面积越小,而且角度调节机构5调整倾斜角A的难度越大;若行走圆盘1倾斜角太小则越障碍能力也相应地减弱,无法越过电线等障碍物。本实施例中,行走圆盘1的倾斜角A的大小为 3°,在具体生产实施过程中还应该综合考虑行走圆盘1的大小。
本实施例还公开一种两盘驱动式的全向行走装置的行走方法,包括以下步骤:
控制行走圆盘1倾斜,与工作平面之间形成圆盘倾斜角A;
转动行走圆盘1,调整行走圆盘1触地点B的位置;
驱动所述行走圆盘在所在平面内以顺时针方向或逆时针方向转动,使得所述触地点B的线速度方向与全向行走装置的行进方向相反。
本实施例的两盘驱动式的全向行走装置的行走方法具体参照图4所示,在全向行走装置启动时,控制全向行走装置的控制器预先规划好移动路径,根据移动路径判断全向行走装置的移动方向,确定触地点B的线速度方向,然后控制第二万向轴43偏转,使得行走圆盘1与工作平面之间形成圆盘倾斜角A,由于行走圆盘1为圆形,因此触地点B为第二万向轴43在工作平面上投影的线段向行走圆盘1的边缘延长的延长线与行走圆盘1的边缘的交点。之后控制器根据再移动方向先确定行走圆盘1的转动方向,由于不同的转动方向下触地点B上的线速度方向会完全不同,因此需要根据清洁或行走的需要确定行走圆盘1的行走方向。在一般的清洁模式下两个行走圆盘1 转动方向相反设置,可以使得清洁面积最大;在清洁墙角边缘等特殊位置或有特殊清洁需要使时,还能够根据需要让两个行走圆盘1同向转动,使需要清理的废弃物被同向转动的行走圆盘1带出。再后,控制器通过旋转调节机构5对触地点B进行调整,旋转调节机构5在不改变倾斜角A的情况下能够将触地点B调整到预设的位置。由于本实施例的全向行走装置能够直接的改变移动方向,无需像现有的行走装置一样调整机身角度后前进,只要行走圆盘1开始转动,本实施例的全向行走装置就会直接向预定的移动方向移动,行走圆盘1需要在触地点B和转动方向确定并调整完成后启动,使全向行走装置直接开始移动。启动后在后续行进过程中,控制器会不断根据预设路径中下一个目标地点的位置确定移动方向,然后通过旋转调节机构5对触地点B的相对位置进行调整,使得行走圆盘1与工作平面产生方向相反的摩擦力,推动全向行走装置向确定的移动方向行走。
还需要说明的是,本发明中所述的工作平面是指全向行走装置工作时所在的平面,例如用在扫地机器人上的时候,其工作平面为地面;用在擦窗机器人上,其工作平面指被擦拭的玻璃平面;用在其他领域,其工作平面则为其行走或工作所在平面;触地点B为全向行走装置与工作平面的接触点,并不仅限于行走装置与地面的接触点。在实际使用时,行走圆盘1上可以适应不同的使用需安装上拖布、抹布等能够实现相应功能的配件。
本发明的两盘驱动式的全向行走装置和行走方法通过控制行走圆盘与工作平面之间的角度和旋转方向,能够使得行走圆盘上指定的位置与工作平面产生摩擦,形成指定方向的摩擦力,推动全向行走装置直接向指定的任意方向行走,实现全方位运动;而且本发明的全向行走装置的控制精准,结构简单,生产方便,能够适应清洁机器人轻薄化的发展方向。
