Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of special robots. Specifically, it relates to a self-adaptive constant force damping mechanism base and a robot. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, wheeled mobile devices, such as wheeled mobile trolleys, wheeled robots, wall climbing robots, etc., are all driven to move by setting rollers on the base of the wheeled mobile device, and the rollers rotate to drive the mobile device to move. This driving mode usually sets a damping mechanism, such as an elastic element, between the roller and the base of the wheeled mobile device, and the damping is realized by the extension and deformation of the elastic element. The core of the damping mechanism of the wheeled mobile device is to absorb the impact of the roller due to the bumping of the road surface by the elastic element and the damping element, and to reduce the vibration of the base and the upper structure of the wheeled mobile device. It is mainly composed of three core components, each component has clear function and mutual cooperation. Elastic element: responsible for absorbing impact energy. Common types include coil springs, leaf springs, air springs and torsion bar springs, which can convert the vertical impact of the road surface into their own deformation. Damping element such as shock absorber: responsible for consuming vibration energy. Through the damping action of hydraulic oil or gas, the reciprocating vibration after the deformation of the elastic element is inhibited, and the wheeled mobile device is prevented from continuous bumping. Guiding mechanism: responsible for limiting the movement direction of the roller of the wheeled mobile device. Through the control arm, connecting rod and other structures, it ensures that the wheeled mobile device always maintains the correct driving track when jumping up and down, and does not deviate.
[0003] However, although the above damping mechanism is set, the wheeled mobile device still faces the problem of vibration in the vertical direction when moving or driving on the uneven ground, such as bolt loosening, wire harness interface loosening, material strain fatigue, etc. Especially for wheeled robots, which contain many parts of precise structure, it is particularly necessary to reduce the vibration of the robot body and ensure the stable operation of the robot.

[0027] Embodiment 1 See attached Figures 1-9The embodiment discloses a self-adaptive constant force damping mechanism base, which comprises two groups of buffer units and a plurality of driving wheels, and the number of the driving wheels corresponds to the buffer units one by one. The base 11 serves as the mounting basis of the whole mechanism, and the bottom of the base 11 is fixedly connected with the support 101 of each buffer unit in a mode such as bolt fastening, so that no relative displacement is caused between the support 101 and the base 11, and stable support is provided for subsequent transmission of the buffer force. Each driving wheel is connected with the base 11 through a corresponding buffer unit, the buffer unit serves as a core component for force transmission and buffering, and is used for bearing vertical gravity compensation and providing the function of buffering, so that the vertical stability of the base 11 and the upper structure thereof during movement is finally realized. The support 101 is an intermediate bearing component of the buffer unit, the top of the support 101 is fixedly connected with the base 11, the lower middle part of the support 101 is provided with a vertical hinge support 111 for mounting a vertical buffering structure, and a first vertical sliding rail 107 and a second vertical sliding rail 110 are arranged at both ends of the support 101 respectively. The two sliding rails are distributed on the two sides of the vertical hinge support 111 in parallel and symmetry, and provide guidance for sliding of a horizontal buffering structure. Correspondingly, a horizontal hinge support 112 is arranged at the lower part of the vertical support rod 102 on both sides, and is used for realizing hinged cooperation with the horizontal buffering structure. The specific vertical buffering structure is composed of the vertical support rod 102 and a vertical constant force spring 103, the top of the vertical support rod 102 is hingedly connected with the support 101 through the vertical hinge support 111 on the support 101, the hinge structure allows the vertical support rod 102 to swing within a certain range, so as to adapt to the force transmission angle under different road conditions. The bottom of the vertical support rod 102 is fixedly connected with the top end of the vertical constant force spring 103, and the fixed connection can be realized by welding or screw connection, the bottom of the vertical constant force spring 103 is fixedly provided with a vertical mounting seat 104, and the vertical mounting seat 104 serves as a mounting carrier of the driving wheel and is connected with the driving wheel in a mode such as bolt.
[0028] In one embodiment, the horizontal buffering structure comprises a first horizontal connecting rod 105 and a first horizontal constant force spring 106, one end of the first horizontal constant force spring 106 is connected with the first vertical sliding rail 107 through a first sliding block mounting seat 113, a first sliding block 114 fixedly arranged on the first sliding block mounting seat 113 is in sliding cooperation with the first vertical sliding rail 107, so that the first horizontal constant force spring 106 can slide along the vertical direction flexibly, and the other end of the first horizontal constant force spring 106 is fixedly connected with the first horizontal connecting rod 105, and the other end of the first horizontal connecting rod 105 is hingedly connected with the lower part of the vertical support rod 102 through the horizontal hinge support 112 on the vertical support rod 102.
[0029] In one embodiment, the horizontal buffer structure includes a second horizontal connecting rod 108 and a second horizontal constant force spring 109. The second horizontal constant force spring 109 is slidably engaged with the second vertical slide rail 110 via a second slider 116 on the second slider mounting base 115, and its other end is fixed to the second horizontal connecting rod 108. The other end of the second horizontal connecting rod 108 is also hinged to the lower part of the vertical support rod 102 via a horizontal hinge support 112. The first horizontal constant force spring 106, the first horizontal connecting rod 105, the second horizontal connecting rod 108, and the second horizontal constant force spring 109 are on the same horizontal line, forming a symmetrical horizontal support structure for the vertical support rod 102.
[0030] In one embodiment, the first horizontal constant force spring 106, the second horizontal constant force spring 109, and the vertical constant force spring 103 all adopt a combined disc spring structure. This structure consists of a main spring, a secondary spring, a housing, and a connecting rod shaft. The main spring and the secondary spring are installed in series within the housing. By matching the elastic parameters of the main and secondary springs, the output force of the entire constant force spring remains constant throughout its extension stroke. The housing of the first horizontal constant force spring 106 is fixedly mounted on the first slider mounting base 113. One end of the connecting rod shaft axially passes through the main spring and the secondary spring within the housing, while the other end is fixedly connected to the first horizontal connecting rod 105, ensuring that horizontal force can be transmitted to the main and secondary springs via the connecting rod shaft. The connection method of the second horizontal constant force spring 109 is the same as that of the first horizontal constant force spring 106. Its housing is fixed on the second slider mounting base 115, and the connecting rod shaft passes through the main and secondary springs and is fixed to the second horizontal connecting rod 108, ensuring that horizontal force can be transmitted to the main and secondary springs via the connecting rod shaft. The housing of the vertical constant force spring 103 is fixedly mounted on the vertical mounting base 104. One end of the connecting rod shaft passes axially through the internal main and auxiliary springs, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical support rod 102 to realize the transmission of force in the vertical direction.
[0031] In one embodiment, the drive wheel of the buffer unit consists of a drive motor, a roller 12, a roller mounting shaft, and a roller mounting bracket 117. The roller 12 is rotatably mounted on the roller mounting bracket 117 via the roller mounting shaft. A bearing is used between the roller mounting shaft and the roller 12 to reduce rotational friction. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the roller mounting bracket 117, and its output shaft is connected to the roller 12. A transmission structure such as a geared motor can be provided between the output shaft and the roller 12 to drive the roller 12 to rotate and realize the movement of the entire mechanism. The top of the roller mounting bracket 117 is fixedly connected to the vertical mounting base 104 by bolts, so that the motion state and force of the drive wheel can be transmitted to the buffer unit through the vertical mounting base 104.
[0032] The working principle of the buffer unit of the present invention is as follows: See Figure 2When the roller 12 is in a vertical position, that is, when the roller 12 is not subjected to the lateral force applied by the ground, the first horizontal constant force spring 106 and the second horizontal constant force spring 109 are in an undeformed state, and neither of them applies a force to the vertical support rod 102.
[0033] See Figure 4 When the roller 12 is subjected to a lateral force F0 and causes the vertical support rod 102 to deflect clockwise by an angle θ relative to the vertical direction, the force analysis of the vertical support rod 102 yields the following results: F0'=F 合 '; At equilibrium, the torque T0 exerted by the ground on the vertical support rod 102 is equal to the torque T1 exerted by the resultant force of the first and second constant force springs, i.e., F 合 *L1=F0*L0, and F 合 '=F 合 / cosθ, then F 合 =F0L0cosθ / L1, where L0 and L1 are the distances between the horizontal hinge support 112 and the bottom of the vertical hinge support 111 and the roller 12, respectively, and are constant values, i.e., F 合 As F0 and the deflection angle θ change, after roller 12 passes the obstacle, roller 12 deflects counterclockwise by θ, that is, cosθ=1, F0 becomes zero, and F 合 It also becomes zero. That is, after passing the obstacle, the vertical support rod 102 will return to the vertical state under the combined force of the first horizontal constant force spring 106 and the second horizontal constant force spring 109.
[0034] In one embodiment, the base 11 comprises two damping units and several drive wheels, the number of drive wheels corresponding one-to-one with the damping units. The base 11 serves as an integral load-bearing foundation, its bottom rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 301 of each damping unit, and a constant force component fixedly connected to each damping unit. The rotating bracket 301 includes a first lever arm 302, a second lever arm 303, and a rotating part 304. Two damping units are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 11; the number of drive wheels is the same as that of the damping units, also two, each connected to the first lever arm 302 of the corresponding damping unit. The rotating part 304 of the rotating bracket 301 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft and the rotating part 304 being interference-fitted, and the shaft and the rotating part 304 being clearance-fitted with the pre-reserved mounting holes on the base 11 to ensure smooth rotation. The first lever arm 302 and the second lever arm 303 are fixed at a preset angle on both sides of the rotating part 304, the three being integrally formed or fixed by welding to ensure efficient force transmission.
[0035] In one embodiment, the drive wheel includes a drive motor and a roller 12, which are respectively fixed to the two sides of the first lever arm 302 away from the rotating part 304 by bolts. The output shaft of the drive motor and the wheel axle of the roller 12 are connected by a coupling to realize power transmission.
[0036] In one embodiment, a connecting rod hinge support 305 is welded to one end of the second lever arm 303 away from the rotating part 304. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the connecting rod hinge support 305 by a pin, and the other end is hinged to the constant force member by the same pin.
[0037] In one embodiment, the constant force component includes a constant force spring and a fixed base 306. The constant force spring includes a winding portion and a telescopic portion. The fixed base 306 is fastened to the base 11 by bolts, and its interior has a pre-reserved mounting cavity adapted to the winding portion of the constant force spring. The winding portion is rotatably assembled into the mounting cavity via a bearing. One end of the telescopic portion is integrally connected to the winding portion, and the other end is hinged to a connecting rod via a pin. A horizontal groove is formed in the fixed base 306, and the cross-sectional shape of the groove is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the telescopic portion of the constant force spring. The telescopic portion is embedded in the groove and can slide horizontally along the groove. The inner wall of the groove is smoothed to reduce friction.
[0038] When there are bumps or depressions on the road surface, the drive wheel will be subjected to a vertical impact force, causing the first lever arm 302 to swing upwards or downwards around the rotation axis of the rotating part 304. When the first lever arm 302 swings, the second lever arm 303, which is fixed to the rotating part 304, swings synchronously. This swings or pushes the connecting rod through the connecting rod hinge support 305, which in turn drives the telescopic part of the constant force spring to move horizontally along the slide groove. This causes the winding part to rotate within the fixed seat 306 via the bearing, thus achieving the winding or release of the spring. During the extension and contraction process, the constant force spring always outputs a constant elastic reaction force. This reaction force is transmitted to the base 11 through the connecting rod, the second lever arm 303, and the rotating part 304, canceling out the impact force generated by the road surface undulations. Ultimately, this ensures that the base 11 and its upper structure remain stable in the vertical direction, avoiding bumps or tilting caused by uneven road surfaces and ensuring smooth movement.
[0039] The working principle of the vibration reduction unit of the present invention is as follows: See Figure 8 The length of the first lever arm 302 is M1, the length of the second lever arm 303 is M2, and the initial angle between the first lever arm 302 and the horizontal plane is θ. When no obstacle is encountered, the reaction force of the ground on the roller 12 is F, and the length of the projection of the first lever arm 302 in the horizontal direction is L1. Therefore, the upward torque on the roller 12 at this time is F*L1, the tension of the constant force component is F0, and the length of the second lever arm 303 in the vertical direction is L2. According to the torque balance, we have: F*L 1 =F0*L2, that is, F*M 1 cosθ = F0*M2cosθ, thus obtaining; F = F0*M2 / M 1 , since F0, M 2 and M 1 are all invariants, therefore, F is also an invariant, that is, the force F remains constant when no obstacle is encountered.
[0040] See Figure 9 , when encountering an obstacle, the position of the roller 12 floats up and down relative to the obstacle, that is, the rotating bracket 301 rotates a relative angle θ, θ1 = θ + θ. At this time, the length of the projection of the first force arm 302 in the horizontal direction is L 1 ’ = M1cosθ1, and the length of the projection of the second force arm 303 in the vertical direction is L2’ = M2cosθ1. According to the torque balance, there is still: F’*L 1 ’ = F0’*L2’, and also, F0’ = F0; that is, F’*M1cosθ1 = F0*M2cosθ1; Therefore, F’ = F0*M 2 / M 1 = F. Since F0, M 2 and M 1 are all invariants, therefore, F’ = F is also an invariant, that is, during the rotation of the rotating bracket 301, the reaction force F on the roller 12 from the ground remains constant, ensuring the smoothness of the moving process.
[0041] In one embodiment, the constant force component includes a first constant force spring 307, a second constant force spring 308, a connector 309, and a fixed base 306. The fixed base 306 is fixed to the base 11 by bolts, and has two parallel upper and lower sliding grooves opened horizontally inside. The cross-sectional shape of the sliding grooves is adapted to the telescopic part of the constant force spring, and the distance between the two sliding grooves matches the length of the connector 309. The wound portions of the first constant force spring 307 and the second constant force spring 308 are rotatably assembled in the fixed base 306 by bearings. The two wound portions are arranged side by side horizontally, with their central axes parallel and at the same height. The telescopic parts of the two constant force springs are respectively embedded in the upper and lower sliding grooves of the fixed base 306, arranged horizontally and parallel. The ends of the telescopic parts are fixedly connected to the two ends of the connector 309 by bolts. The connector 309 is a strip-shaped plate structure with a pre-reserved connecting rod hinge hole in the middle. The end of the connecting rod furthest from the second lever arm 303 is hinged to the central hinge hole of the connecting piece 309 via a pin, ensuring that the force of the connecting rod can be evenly transmitted to the telescopic parts of the two constant force springs. The design of the double constant force springs makes the output of the constant reaction force more stable, while distributing the force load of a single spring, thus improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the vibration damping mechanism; the guiding effect of the slide groove on the telescopic parts prevents the springs from deviating, ensuring that the two springs are subjected to force synchronously.
[0042] In one embodiment, the constant force component includes a combined disc spring 310, which comprises a main spring, a secondary spring, a housing, and a connecting rod shaft. The housing is bolted to the base 11 and is a hollow cylindrical structure that houses the main spring, secondary spring, and connecting rod shaft. The main spring and secondary spring are arranged in series within the housing, their axial positions fixed by a limiting structure within the housing. The combination of the main spring and secondary spring ensures that their overall elastic characteristics meet the constant force output requirements. One end of the connecting rod shaft is fixedly connected to the main and secondary springs, while the other end extends outside the housing and has a hinge hole. It is hinged to the end of the connecting rod away from the second lever arm 303 via a pin. The series combination of the main spring and secondary spring forms a specific elastic curve, and its output force remains constant within the working stroke. This constant reaction force is transmitted to the base 11 through the connecting rod shaft, connecting rod, and second lever arm 303, offsetting the impact force from road surface undulations.
[0043] Example 2 Embodiment 1 above discloses an adaptive constant force vibration damping mechanism base. This embodiment also discloses a robot, which includes the aforementioned adaptive constant force vibration damping mechanism base. The adaptive constant force vibration damping mechanism base is installed at the bottom of the robot as a movement and buffer support component. Preferably, the buffer unit and the vibration damping unit are respectively located at the four corners of the robot's bottom to provide stable support. After applying this adaptive constant force buffer base, when the robot moves on complex road surfaces, such as gravel roads, slopes, and stepped transition surfaces, the robot body remains stable and will not experience vertical bumps or lateral tilting. This effect can effectively protect the precision components inside the robot body and avoid component damage or malfunctions caused by vibration, such as loose bolts, loose wiring harness interfaces, and material strain fatigue.
