Robot and collision detecting mechanism thereof

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a robot and a collision detecting mechanism thereof. The collision detecting mechanism of the robot comprises multiple sets of metal elastic pieces, multiple detecting circuits and multiple elastomers; the sets of metal elastic pieces correspond to the detecting circuits one by one, and are arranged in multiple collision directions respectively; each set of metal elastic pieces comprise the first metal elastic piece and the second metal elastic piece, the first metal elastic pieces and the second metal elastic pieces are oppositely arranged in the detecting circuits, and gaps are formed between the first metal elastic pieces and the second metal elastic pieces to disconnect the detecting circuits; the elastomers are arranged in the gaps respectively; in collision, the elastomers in the collision directions are compressed, the first metal elastic pieces and the second metal elastic pieces in the collision directions make contact with each other, in this way, the detecting circuits in the collision directions are connected, and the detecting circuits output indication information of collision occurrence in the collision directions. The robot and the collision detecting mechanism thereof solve the technical problem that in the current market, robots can not accurately judge collision positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of intelligent robots, in particular to a robot and a collision detection mechanism thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, most robots on the market use the collision detection mechanism installed at the bottom of the robot to detect obstacles encountered during travel, and then make corresponding countermeasures. Specifically, the collision detection mechanism is composed of two copper sheets and a spring arranged between the two copper sheets. The robot collides with an obstacle, and based on the collision, the robot makes corresponding actions. [0003] However, most of the current detection mechanisms use whole-section copper sheets. Due to the linkage of copper sheets, when a collision occurs in one of them, it is likely that there will be contact in many other places, which will inevitably lead to the inability to accurately judge the collision position of the robot. , so that the robot cannot make...
