Problems solved by technology

For example, a robot needs at least six degrees of freedom to be able to achieve any pose in the working space, and three degrees of freedom are often required for the wrist or waist. Nowadays, most of the robots used in industry are series robots. Although the workspace of series robots is relatively large, but There are some inherent defects, such as relatively small rigidity, small bearing capacity, low precision, and large moment of inertia, which are greatly restricted in some occasions that require precision.
Furthermore, due to the weight of each joint, the bearing capacity of the end effector is seriously affected, and the weight of the drive unit accounts for more than half of the weight of each joint.

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel three-degrees-of-freedom under-actuated mechanism. The mechanism comprises a base, a movable platform, three branch chains having an identical structure and distributed in axial symmetry, two power sources and a position detection device. The three branch chains are movably connected with the movable platform, the movable platform sinks towards the direction of the base and is in an inward concave shape, the two driving power sources directly drive the two moving branch chains to form the third moving branch chain, namely, the under-actuated mechanism, so that the movable platform moves in three degrees of freedom; and the position detection device is connected with the under-actuated moving branch chains to realize position detection. The mechanism is easy to machine and assemble, flexible in movement, compact in structure and good in rigidity; and as an under-actuated manner is adopted, the cost is lowered, the weight of the wrist part is reduced, and the mechanism can be used in occasions such as parallel robots, micro-robots and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel three-degree-of-freedom underactuated mechanism, in particular to a concave three-degree-of-freedom underactuated parallel mechanism based on spherical pairs. Background technique [0002] The three-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism is a very important few-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism, and its moving platform can realize three-degree-of-freedom movement. Compared with the series mechanism, the parallel mechanism has the characteristics of compact structure, good bearing capacity, high motion precision and good mechanism rigidity. The underactuated mechanism refers to the mechanism whose control access is smaller than the degree of freedom of the system. An underactuated robot is a robot containing an underactuated mechanism. The extensive attention of scholars has become a new hot spot in the field of robotics research. For example, a robot needs at least six degrees of freedom to be able to achieve an...
