本实施例中的位移传感器为光电编码器,光电编码器设有两个,光电编码器设置在其中两条相邻的支撑轴21的一端,光电编码器设有光栅码盘321和光电检测装置322。两个光栅码盘321分别与对应的支撑轴21连接并随着支撑轴21转动,光电编码器的光电检测装置322监测光栅码盘321的转动并向与编码器连接的计数器发出脉冲信号,计数器根据接收到的脉冲信号计算移动机器人在对应支撑轴21转动方向上的位移,计算出终点位置在以两条支撑轴21的交点为原点建立的平面直角坐标系中的坐标,进而计算出移动机器人的移动里程和轨迹。
本发明的滚珠里程计实施例三参照图4所示,设有滚珠1、滚珠支架、位移传感器和底部支撑板4,滚珠支架设置在底部支撑板4上,滚珠1可滚动的设置在滚珠支架中,滚珠1的一侧穿过滚珠支架与接触平面抵接,位移传感器设置在滚珠支架上检测滚珠1的滚动。滚珠支架包括支撑轴21、轴承22和底板23,支撑轴21设有三条且呈三角形环绕滚珠1设置,支撑轴21组成的三角形的内切圆直径小于滚珠1的直径,使得支撑轴21与滚珠1的外表面抵接,滚珠1能够带动支撑轴21,支撑轴21又能够将滚珠1限制在滚珠圆孔241中;轴承22设有六个,轴承22分别设置在支撑轴21两端且与底板23连接,使支撑轴21被安装到底板23上,而且在滚珠1滚动时支撑轴21能够随着滚珠21顺滑的滚动。
本实施例中的位移传感器为磁性编码器,磁性编码器包括霍尔磁盘331和霍尔感应器332,磁性编码器分别设置在其中两条相邻的支撑轴21的一端,霍尔磁盘331分别与对应的支撑轴21连接并随着支撑轴21转动,霍尔感应装置332监测霍尔磁盘331的转动并向与编码器连接的计数器发出脉冲信号,计数器根据接收到的脉冲信号计算移动机器人在对应支撑轴21转动方向上的位移,计算出终点位置在以两条支撑轴21的交点为原点建立的平面直角坐标系中的坐标,进而计算出移动机器人的移动里程和轨迹。
在实际生产过程中,支撑轴21的数量还可以根据需要增加,设置为相互垂直的四条,编码器设置在相邻的两条支撑轴21,则可以直接以两条支撑轴21所在的直线为x轴和y轴建立平面直角坐标系,两条支撑轴21在单位时间内的转动位移为终点的坐标,利用两点之间的距离公式就可以计算出移动机器人单位时间内的里程。
本发明还提供一种利用实施例二或三的滚珠里程计计算里程的方法,包括以下步骤:
S10,以其中两条相邻且设有编码器的支撑轴轴a和轴b的交点为原点建立平面直角坐标系,轴a转动方向与x轴之间的夹角为α,轴b转动方向与x轴之间的夹角为β;
S20,滚珠里程计移动,滚珠滚动并带动轴a和轴b转动,位移传感器获取获取滚珠里程计单位时间内轴a的位移La和轴b的位移Lb;
S30,计算单位时间内滚珠里程计的终点坐标(x,y),x =La* cos(α) =Lb* cos(β),y = La * sin(α) = Lb * sin(β);
S40、计算终点与原点之间的距离L,L=;
S50,将滚珠里程计从初始起点移动到最终目的点经过了n个单位时间,计算出n个单位对应的L1、L2……Ln,将L1至Ln相加,就得到滚珠里程计的总行进里程。
本发明的滚珠里程计结构简单,生产方便,将滚珠和常用的位移感应器结合起来,通过检测滚珠的滚动动作,得到滚珠的滚动数据,经过简单的计算就能够得到移动机器人在高反光或透明光滑平面上的精确里程甚至详细的行走轨迹,而且受使用环境的影响极小,使用寿命也十分长;对应的里程计算方法简单易用误差小,不仅能够得到准确的里程数据,也十分便于移动机器人行走路径的测算,方便后期路径规划和控制。
