Problems solved by technology

[0005] After consulting the existing domestic and foreign literature, it is found that in order to reduce the weight of the spherical robot, the inner frame structure is mostly used inside the existing robot, but this structure is one of the main force-bearing parts. During the movement of the robot, the deformation of the inner frame is large, and the robot movement seriously deviates Predetermined trajectory, uncontrollable movement
For the driving pendulum, once the pendulum angle is too large, due to inertia, the torque generated by the gravity of the eccentric mass block will be greater than the torque that the driving motor can provide, causing the robot to move out of control
However, at present, there are deficiencies in the safe control of the driving swing angle of the spherical robot.

Abstract

The invention discloses an active simple pendulum spherical robot. The active simple pendulum spherical robot comprises a spherical shell and a simple pendulum. The spherical shell is formed by matching a front hemispherical shell body with a rear hemispherical shell body in a screwed mode through screws. In an inner cavity of the spherical shell, the simple pendulum is installed through a front fixing strip and a rear fixing strip. According to the simple pendulum, a long-axis motor and a short-axis motor are coaxially installed in an inside casing, wherein the long-axis motor is directly connected with the front hemispherical shell body and drives the front hemispherical shell body to rotate around the central axis Y of the inner casing, the short-axis motor drives a driving pendulum to rotate around an X axis perpendicular to the central axis Y through a transmission mechanism, and therefore the spherical robot can walk stably in an all-dimensional mode. The active simple pendulum spherical robot is compact in structure, high in rigidity, and smooth and steady in movement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot, in particular to an active single pendulum spherical robot. Background technique [0002] The spherical robot is a mobile robot that walks in a rolling manner. Its driving principle is mainly to break the static balance of the sphere through the movement of the internal drive device. The movement is flexible, and it can realize turning in place and walking in all directions. [0003] After reviewing the existing domestic and foreign literature, it is found that most of the existing spherical robots use the eccentric mass drive mode, and the steering and walking are realized under the drive of the machine's eccentric moment and inertial moment. However, the current spherical robot is driven by the offset center of gravity of the double pendulum, which cannot guarantee that the double eccentric masses will swing synchronously under the drive of the same motor, resulting in large fluctuations in the driving torque of the ...
