AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example: Almost all robotic arms can only use a single spoon to scoop food, which is difficult to achieve smooth scooping, and cannot scoop up all the food on the plate, resulting in food waste; such robotic arms are bulky and difficult to control. The arm is set with a separate joystick, which is controlled by the diner to select food through the chin, but it is not ideal; most of this type of feeding robot arm needs to use a matching integrated plate, so that the three-dimensional coordinates of the food can be grasped It is completely controllable, but this also brings serious restrictions. The number of grids on the plate determines the number of dishes; the volume of the plate limits the total amount of food, etc.

Embodiment 1

[0062] like figure 1 , figure 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses a feeding robot arm, including a base, a robot arm body and a feeding device 7, the bottom end of the robot arm body is rotatably connected to the base, and the feeding device is arranged at the top of the robot arm body. Specifically, the base is provided with a control panel and a bottom steering gear 8, the bottom steering gear is used to drive the mechanical arm to rotate horizontally; After the arm steering gear is driven, it rotates relatively in the vertical direction, the bottom steering gear and the arm steering gear are electrically connected to the control board, and a current sensor is connected between each steering gear and the control board; the feeding device includes mutual The buckled lower spoon body 702 and the upper spoon body 701, the lower spoon body is fixedly connected to the mechanical arm, and the upper spoon body is driven by the feeding servo to rotate in the vertical direction t...

Embodiment 2

[0077] This embodiment discloses a specific feeding method and control of a feeding robot arm, which aims to sense the current change of the steering gear through the current sensor, so as to realize the free control of the steering gear and make it easier and more direct to issue various feeding commands.

[0078] like Figure 9 As shown, the feeding method of the feeding robot arm disclosed in this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:

[0079] S01: Take the output shaft of the bottom servo as the origin, set the horizontal plane of the feeding device to capture the coordinate point field according to the position of the plate, and calibrate it as (x k ,y k ), k∈N and k≠0; set feeding coordinate point (a, b, c) simultaneously, and abc is constant, and described control panel is provided with memory module, the coordinate information of setting is stored;

[0080] S02: Send a clamping coordinate point signal to the feeding robot arm, the control board contro...

Embodiment 3

[0105] This embodiment discloses a specific feeding method and control of a feeding robot arm, which aims to sense the current change of the steering gear through the current sensor, so as to realize the free control of the steering gear and make it easier and more direct to issue various feeding commands.

[0106] In this embodiment, a technical solution different from that in Embodiment 2 is adopted, and the specific differences are:

[0107] In this embodiment, the output axis of the bottom steering gear is not used as the origin, but an arbitrary point is used as the origin, and the output axis coordinates of the bottom steering gear are (x 0 ,y 0 ), in this case, the gripping coordinate signal received by the robotic arm needs to be corrected so that the gripping coordinate point received is (x k ,y k ), k∈N and k≠0 as an example, the specific clamping coordinate point after correction is (x k -x 0 ,y k -y 0 );

[0108] Other processes in this embodiment are the sa...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of cooperative mechanical arms, and discloses a feeding mechanical arm and a feeding method thereof. The feeding mechanical arm includes a base, a main body of the mechanical arm and a feeding device. The bottom end of the main body of the mechanical arm is rotatably connected to the base. It is located on the top of the main body of the robotic arm; in specific applications, the robotic arm can take food from the specified gripping coordinate position, and send it to the specified feeding coordinate position for the user to eat. The invention detects the current change in the steering gear through the current sensor, regulates the feeding process, can control the steering gear to hover in time after the feeding device touches, has a high degree of automation, and can be used in conjunction with various tableware; by using The user exerts force on the feeding device, automatically recognizes the user's intention, realizes feeding again, improves the controllability, is more intelligent, and reduces the difficulty of the user's control. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for promotion and use.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of collaborative manipulators, and in particular relates to a feeding manipulator and a feeding method thereof. Background technique [0002] The robotic arm is a complex system with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, highly nonlinear, and strong coupling. Because of its unique operational flexibility, it has been widely used in industrial assembly, safety explosion-proof and other fields; with the in-depth research and development of the mechanical arm, its structure and precision have been greatly improved, not only in the current field of application, but also It has expanded to many technical fields that directly assist people in operations, and can even partially replace human work.
