Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of humanoid robots, and in particular relates to a biped robot leg structure. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, intelligent robots are increasingly being used in all walks of life, especially in the service industry. In the past, the form of intelligent robots was relatively simple. For example, the walking system of intelligent robots generally used a wheeled motion system instead. Now, intelligent robots are increasingly tending to be humanoid in design, so bipedal robots came into being.
[0003] Any single leg of a humanoid bipedal robot should include corresponding leg joints such as the hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint. The leg joints should cooperate with each other to complete walking movements similar to those of humans.
[0004] In the leg design of existing humanoid bipedal robots, the ankle, knee and hip joints have insufficient degrees of freedom. The hip, ankle and knee joints usually have only one degree of freedom, and they are simple swings with fixed shafts. Low degrees of freedom mean that the robot's range of motion is limited when performing actions, which will make it difficult for the robot to cope with complex terrain and lack adaptability; low degrees of freedom will also cause the robot to require more steps when performing certain actions, because it cannot optimize gait and movement like designs with higher degrees of freedom, thus affecting movement efficiency. The leg structure has fewer degrees of freedom, which will make it difficult for the robot to imitate the complex movements of the human leg during walking and other processes, and the movement will appear unnatural, reducing the similarity with human movement.

[0049] The fixing rod 14 has an integrally formed fixing head 141 and a rod body 142, the rod body 142 penetrates the fourth connecting head 162, the second connecting head 132 and the fifth connecting head 163, the fixing head 141 is arranged on the fourth connecting head 162, and a fixing ring 193 is detachably connected to the rod body 142, and the fixing ring 193 is arranged at the bottom of the fifth connecting head 163.

[0050] Bearings 192 are respectively provided on the passive rotating disk 15, the first connecting head 131, the second connecting head 132 and the third connecting head 161, the support shaft 18 penetrates into the bearing 192 of the passive rotating disk 15, the connecting rod 191 penetrates into the corresponding bearing 192 of the first connecting head 131 or the bearing 192 of the second connecting head 132 or the bearing 192 of the third connecting head 161, and a nut 194 is provided on each of the connecting rods 191, the connecting rod 191 penetrates into the center of the bearing 192, and the nut 194 tightens the first connecting head 131, the second connecting head 132 and the third connecting head 161 to the corresponding connecting rods 191 respectively.
[0051] The main function of the bearing 192 is to support the rocker arm for rotation, reduce the friction coefficient of the rocker arm during movement, and ensure the rotation accuracy of the rocker arm; in the passive rotating disk 15, the support shaft 18 penetrates into the bearing 192 in the passive rotating disk 15 to support the passive rotating disk 15, and the bearing 192 can also make the passive rotating disk 15 rotate more smoothly.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 , realize the left and right movement of the legs along the X-axis, that is, thigh abduction (right hip swings to the right outside or left hip swings to the left outside) or thigh adduction (right hip swings to the left or left hip swings to the right), refer to Figure 5 , and also realizes the forward and backward movement of the legs along the Y-axis, that is, thigh flexion (lifting the legs forward) and thigh extension (lifting the legs backward), thereby realizing 2-degree-of-freedom rotation; this design can increase the physical height of the joint actuator 11 on the leg, thereby reducing the inertia of the leg end, which is more beneficial to motion control; in addition, the two joint actuators 11 can exert force at the same time. Compared with the joint actuator 11 with a series structure of the same specifications, the leg structure of the biped robot has a stronger bearing capacity and a larger load.
[0055] Figure 1 In the figure, the biped robot leg structure also includes a hip joint driver 5 and a fixing plate 6, wherein the fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 17, and the hip joint driver 5 is arranged on the fixing plate 6 and drives the fixing frame 17, and the overall rotation of the hip joint is controlled by the hip joint driver 5.
[0056] Reference Figure 6-Figure 8 The thigh part 2 includes a driver 21, a driven member 22, an intermediate member 23 and a fixed block 24. One end of the intermediate member 23 is connected to the driver 21, and the other end of the intermediate member 23 is connected to the driven member 22. The driver 21 drives the intermediate member 23, and the intermediate member 23 drives the driven member 22. The driver 21 is fixedly arranged in the fixed block 24, and the fixed block 24 is connected to the fixed rod 14. The fixed block 24 is used to limit the position of the driver 21, and when installed on the robot, the fixed block 24 serves as a thigh shell, and the driver 21 is fixedly arranged in the fixed block 24;
[0057] Specifically, the intermediate component 23 includes a main connecting rod 231, a side connecting rod 232 and a limit block 233, one end of the main connecting rod 231 is fixedly connected to the driver 21, the other end of the main connecting rod 231 is fixedly connected to the driven component 22, one end of the limit block 233 is fixedly connected to the position between the two ends of the main connecting rod 231, the other end of the limit block 233 is fixedly connected to one end of the side connecting rod 232, and the other end of the side connecting rod 232 is fixedly connected to the driven component 22.
[0058] The driver 21 uses a motor a and a telescopic rod b, and the motor a drives the telescopic rod b to extend and retract.
[0059] The motor simulates the thigh, the telescopic rod simulates the lower end of the femur, the driven part 22 simulates the upper end of the tibia, the driven part 22 can be connected to the part simulating the calf, the main connecting rod 231 simulates the anterior ligament, the side connecting rod 232 simulates the posterior ligament, and the limit block 233 is the installation connection block of the side connecting rod 232; through the telescopic movement of the driver 21, the main connecting rod 231 drives the driven part 22 to bend or restore, and the side connecting rod 232 prevents the driven part 22 from sliding backward and provides stability to the knee joint, thereby simulating the relative sliding of the femur and tibia and the bending movement of the knee joint.
[0060] Reference Figure 6 The main connecting rod 231 and the side connecting rod 232 are cross-arranged to imitate more natural biomechanics and achieve a transmission mode that is closer to the human knee joint.
[0061] In addition, the structural principle of the existing knee joint structure that performs circular motion is that its driver 21 is directly installed at the joint position. It can be understood that the robot includes both the thigh part 2 and the knee joint. The knee joint bears the weight of the two structures of the thigh and the driver 21. In this embodiment, the driver 21 is directly used as the thigh, and there is no need to add an additional driver 21. That is, the knee joint part only has two components, the driven part 22 and the middle part 23. The setting position of the driver 21 is improved, and the driven part 22 and the middle part 23 are lighter, thereby reducing the rotational inertia of the knee joint.
[0062] In summary, when a robot using the knee joint performs a task, it bears a uniform load, which will not cause serious wear of the mechanical structure, overload of the driver 21, increased energy consumption, and decreased overall stability.
[0063] Specifically, the driven member 22 is provided with a front mounting position 221 and a rear mounting position 222 , one end of the main connecting rod 231 is provided on the rear mounting position 222 , the other end of the main connecting rod 231 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod, and one end of the side connecting rod 232 is provided in the front mounting position 221 .

[0067] It also includes a plurality of connecting members 25, which are screws. The fixing block 24 is provided with a plurality of through holes 241. Figure 7 Four through holes 241 are provided on one side of the fixing block 24, a plurality of mounting holes 2333 are provided on the limiting block 233, four mounting holes 2333 are provided on one side of the limiting block 233, the through holes 241 are aligned with the mounting holes 2333, and the connecting piece 25 penetrates the through holes 241 and the mounting holes 2333, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing block 24 and the limiting block 233.
[0068] The limiting block 233 is in the shape of a triangle block, and the three corners of the triangle block are respectively provided with a mounting hole 2333, a clamping hole 2331 and a connecting hole 2332.
[0069] Reference Figure 9-11 The calf part 3 includes two movable plates 31 and three telescopic driving members 32 arranged between the two movable plates 31, a plurality of universal joints 33 and a support rod 34, one end of the universal joint 33 is connected to the movable plate 31, the other end of the universal joint 33 is connected to the telescopic driving member 32, the support rod 34 is arranged between the three telescopic driving members 32, one end of the support rod 34 is provided with a ball joint 35, the other end of the support rod 34 is fixedly connected to one of the movable plates 31, the ball joint 35 is connected to another movable plate 31, and one of the movable plates 31 is connected to the driven member 22;
[0070] The telescopic driving member 32 is used to extend or shorten, and the overall movement is achieved by the extension or shortening of the telescopic driving member 32. The setting of the universal joint 33 enables relative movement between the two movable plates 31 and the telescopic driving member 32. The support rod 34 is in the middle of the three telescopic driving members 32. The support rod 34 is used to limit the range of movement of the telescopic driving member 32 and the movable plate 31. Since a ball joint 35 is provided at one end of the support rod 34, the support member has a larger range of movement in one direction and can more stably support and bear weight in another direction.
[0071] Specifically, the movable plate 31 provided with one end of the ball joint 35 is connected to the sole 4 .
[0072] The ankle joint moves forward and backward, refer to Fig.12 When the robot's foot needs to be stretched downward, the three telescopic driving members 32 are respectively named as the first telescopic driving member 32a, the second telescopic driving member 32 and the third telescopic driving member 32, the first telescopic driving member 32 and the second telescopic driving member 32 are extended to the same length at the same time, and the third telescopic driving member 32 is shortened; conversely, when the robot's foot needs to bend upward, the first telescopic driving member 32 and the second telescopic driving member 32 are shortened to the same length at the same time, and the third telescopic driving member 32 is extended;
[0073] The ankle joint swings left and right, refer to Fig.13 When the robot's foot needs to be turned outward, the second telescopic driving member 32 is shortened, and the first telescopic driving member 32 and the third telescopic driving member 32 are extended to the same length; conversely, when the robot's foot needs to be turned inward, the third telescopic driving member 32 is shortened, and the first telescopic driving member 32 and the second telescopic driving member 32 are extended to the same length;
[0074] The ankle joint performs plane rotation movement, refer to Fig.14 When the robot's foot needs to be turned inward, the three telescopic driving members 32 extend or shorten by the same length counterclockwise; conversely, when the robot's foot needs to be turned outward, the three telescopic driving members 32 extend or shorten by the same length clockwise;
[0075] In summary, the realization of three degrees of freedom of movement makes the robot's ankle joint more diverse and flexible in movement, has more adjustment options, and can cope with more diverse movement tasks; better imitating the biomechanics of the human ankle joint, the robot can be more natural and smooth when walking, running, and performing other foot movements, greatly improving the robot's bionics level; compared to the series design of most ankle joints, the parallel structure is more compact, making the size of the ankle joint more in line with the actual size of the human ankle joint; the parallel structure also gives the ankle joint higher control accuracy and stability.
[0076] The ball joint 35 includes a spherical portion 351 and a concave portion 352 . The concave portion 352 is fixed to one of the movable plates 31 . The spherical portion 351 is movably disposed in the concave portion 352 . The spherical portion 351 can rotate within a wide range of 360 degrees in the concave portion 352 .
