[0037] The following elaborates on the preferred embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making the protection scope of the present utility model more clearly defined. Embodiment
[0038] As Figures 1 to 11As shown: a bipedal humanoid robot leg is provided with a waist joint support 1, and a left leg structure 3 and a right leg structure 4 are respectively installed on both sides of the waist joint support 1 through lateral joint components 2, and the left leg structure 3 and the right leg structure 4 both include a thigh structure 31, a calf structure 32 and a motion control component part 33, the bottom of the thigh structure 31 and the top of the calf structure 32 are rotatably connected through a knee joint structure 36, and a foot plate structure 35 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the calf structure 32 through an ankle joint structure 37, and the motion control component part 33 is rotatably installed on the top of the thigh structure 31, and the motion control component part 33 has an installation outer shell 337, and a lateral joint connection part 338 is arranged on the installation outer shell 337 for connecting the lateral joint components 2.
[0039] The above-mentioned waist joint support 1 is provided with a left U-shaped support 11, a right U-shaped support 12 and an intermediate waist joint module 13. The intermediate waist joint module 13 is used to connect the robot torso, and the left U-shaped support 11 and the right U-shaped support 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the intermediate waist joint module 13; the intermediate waist joint module 13 is a joint motor module, which is used to directly drive the left U-shaped support 11 and the right U-shaped support 12 to rotate relative to each other, so as to realize the walking and turning of the robot. The intermediate waist joint module 13 can also include a bending joint structure, but for the sake of structural stability, the rotation control between the motion control component part 33 and the top of the thigh structure 31 can be used instead to realize the bending action.
[0040] The lateral joint component 2 is provided with a lateral control motor 21, which is rotatably mounted on the left U-shaped support 11 or the right U-shaped support 12. The output end of the lateral control motor 21 is connected to the ball screw 22. The ball screw nut 23 is rotatably mounted on the lateral joint connection part 338. The ball screw nut 23 cooperates with the ball screw nut 23. The lateral joint connection part 338 is provided with two mounting holes, which are respectively arranged on the inner side and the outer side of the mounting outer shell 337. The inner and outer sides of the shell 337 are specifically the side relatively close to the left leg structure 3 and the right leg structure 4 as the inner side, and the side relatively far away as the outer side. A lateral rotating shaft structure is installed in the inner mounting hole, and a short rotating shaft is installed through the outer mounting hole for rotating the ball screw nut 23 installed thereon. The lateral extension of the left leg structure 3 and the right leg structure 4 is controlled by the ball screw, and the movement of the entire left leg structure 3 or the right leg structure 4 can be controlled by a smaller power joint motor, thereby making the control more precise and avoiding the influence of rotational inertia on the lateral joint control.
[0041] At the output end of the motion control component unit 33, a tendon-like drive cable assembly 34 is drivingly connected. The tendon-like drive cable assembly 34 is used to control the connection of the thigh structure 31, the calf structure 32, and / or the foot plate structure 35. Among them, the foot plate structure 35 can be replaced by a ball head in the field of quadruped robots such as robotic dogs, and it is a non-essential component. However, the foot plate structure 35 is an essential component in the field of bipedal humanoid robots. Although the foot plate structure 5 can directly rotate freely within a certain range and achieve a similar stepping effect, it cannot meet the requirement of precisely controlling the legs. Controlling the rotation of the foot plate structure 35 through the tendon-like drive cable structure 34 is more conducive to controlling and maintaining the movement balance of the robot's legs and the overall robot.
[0042] The above-mentioned tendon-like drive cable assembly 34 is composed of a first drive cable structure 341 and a second drive cable structure 342. More drive cable structures can also be set. One component among the three can be controlled by one drive cable structure, or two or three components among the three or different degrees of freedom of the same component can be controlled by two or three drive cable structures.
[0043] The above-mentioned motion control component unit 33 includes a thigh drive device 331, a first rotation drive device 332, and a second rotation drive device 333. The above-mentioned installation housing 337 includes a first drive module installation part, a second drive module installation part, and a thigh drive module installation part. The thigh drive device 331, the first rotation drive device 332, and the second rotation drive device 333 are respectively installed in the thigh drive module installation part, the first drive module installation part, and the second drive module installation part. The first rotation drive device 332 and the second rotation drive device 333 are oppositely arranged on both sides of the thigh structure 31, and the first rotation drive device 332 and the second rotation drive device 333 are respectively connected to both sides of the thigh drive device 331, that is, the first drive module installation part and the second drive module installation part are respectively connected to both sides of the thigh drive module installation part, so as to establish the connection relationship between the rotation drive devices. The thigh drive device 331 is arranged at the rear of the top of the thigh structure 31 and can be used as a decoration for the robot's hip to avoid visual disharmony. Moreover, the rotation of the thigh structure 31 under the drive control of the thigh drive device 331 is the rotation of the thigh structure 31 relative to the installation housing 337 for swinging the leg forward and backward.
[0044] A first transmission wheel 335 and a second transmission wheel 336 are respectively provided at the output ends of the first rotation drive device 332 and the second rotation drive device 333, and a first output wire disc 361 and a second output wire disc 371 are provided in the knee joint structure 36 and / or the ankle joint structure 37, that is, the first output wire disc 361 and the second output wire disc 371 can be respectively provided in the knee joint structure 36 and the ankle joint structure 37, and the first output wire disc 361 and the second output wire disc 371 can be both provided in the knee joint structure 36 or the ankle joint structure 37, and the tendon-like drive wire assembly 34 consists of a first drive wire structure 341 and a second drive wire structure 342, and the first drive wire structure 341 is tightly sleeved between the first transmission wheel 335 and the first output wire disc 361 to form a closed loop structure; the second drive wire structure 342 is tightly sleeved between the second transmission wheel 336 and the second output wire disc 371 to form a closed loop structure.
[0045] Among them, although the thigh drive device 331 can also be transmitted through the imitation tendon drive wire assembly 34, since the thigh drive device 331 is arranged on the top of the thigh structure 31, it is better to adopt direct drive. However, in order to adjust the installation and output shaft position of each drive device, the thigh drive device 331 is arranged on the rear side of the thigh structure 31 and is connected through a bevel gear structure or a helical bevel gear structure. This not only makes the spatial arrangement more reasonable, but also further reduces the speed and increases the transmission torque. The motor module used in the thigh drive device 331 can adopt a smaller power relative to the full direct drive. Specifically: a thigh transmission pulley 334 is respectively arranged at the output end of the thigh drive device 331, and the thigh transmission pulley 334 is a bevel gear structure. One or two bevel gear disks are arranged on the top of the thigh structure 31. The bevel gear structure cooperates with the bevel gear disk, or the bevel gear structure can cooperate with two bevel gear disks on both sides at the same time. Although the transmission may be more stable in this way, the counterweight is increased and the complexity of the structural layout is increased, so it is generally not adopted.
[0046] The foot plate structure 35 has a narrow foot plate body 351. The width of the narrow foot plate body 351 is 10 mm - 50 mm, and the length of the narrow foot plate body 351 is preferably 100 mm - 500 mm. The narrow foot plate body 351 has a front foot plate portion 352, a rear heel plate portion 353, and a foot center portion 354. The front foot plate portion 352 and the rear heel plate portion 353 are respectively arranged on both sides of the foot center portion 354. The second output wire reel 371 is fixedly installed on the foot center portion 354. Touching ground end heads 355 are arranged at two opposite ends of the front foot plate portion 352 and the rear heel plate portion 353. The lower side of the foot center portion 354 is suspended and generally does not contact the ground, that is, the front foot plate portion 352 and the rear heel plate portion 353 protrude downward relative to the foot center portion 354. Such a structure is in the shape of a human hollow foot plate. Although generally only the touching ground end heads 355 at both ends contact the ground and the touching ground area is small, the touching ground end heads 355 are more likely to be in full contact with the ground, and the actual contact area is large. It will not be restricted by the ground environment or greatly affected by its actual contact area, and it is more convenient to meet the stable expectation of robot programming control. Its foot center portion 354 is suspended, so that it has a certain elastic space itself, and thus can absorb a large impact load and has stronger durability; it is not like the structure with a flat foot plate. Although it seems to have a large contact with the ground, as long as the ground is uneven or there are protrusions, the actual contact area will be greatly reduced, and the contact surface does not conform to the preset, which also affects the stability of the robot's walking and standing. And, an arc-shaped installation portion 356 is arranged on the upper side of the foot center portion 354. The side of the second output wire reel 371 is installed in the arc-shaped installation portion 356. An ankle joint rotating shaft structure 372 is arranged at the center of the second output wire reel 371. Both ends of the ankle joint rotating shaft structure 372 are rotationally installed at the bottom of the calf structure 32 through bearing structures. The second output wire reel 371 and the ankle joint rotating shaft structure 372 form an ankle joint structure 37.
[0047] Wherein, the ankle joint structure 37 may further include a first support plate shell and a second support plate shell. The first support plate shell and the second support plate shell are arranged at a relative interval, and the first support plate shell and the second support plate shell are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the calf structure 32. A coaxial first installation hole and a second installation hole are opened on the first support plate shell and the second support plate shell. A first half shaft structure and a second half shaft structure are rotationally installed in the first installation hole and the second installation hole through bearings. The first half shaft structure and the second half shaft structure form the ankle joint rotating shaft structure 372. Corresponding coaxial bolt holes are uniformly arranged around the first half shaft structure and the second half shaft structure. By installing bolts in the bolt holes, the first half shaft structure and the second half shaft structure are tightly pressed on both end faces of the center portion of the second output wire reel 371. An encoder is also installed on the first support plate shell or the second support plate shell. Through the encoder, it is convenient to monitor and feedback the rotation angle of the joint, and the encoder is an absolute encoder and is used in cooperation with a radial magnet installed on the half shaft structure.
[0048] By pressing against both end faces of the center part of the second output wire reel 371 through the first half-axis structure and the second half-axis structure, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the rotating joint of the second output wire reel. Moreover, the installed second output wire reel 371 is more stable during the rotation relative to the ankle joint housing and is not prone to shaking. For other direct installation methods of the whole shaft, not only is it not easy to fall off during disassembly, but also machines with poor assembly technology and material quality are prone to cause joint shaking.
[0049] Among them, the knee joint structure 36 further includes a knee joint rotation support shaft 362. Both ends of the knee joint rotation support shaft 362 are rotatably installed at the bottom of the thigh structure 31 through bearing structures. An intermediate wire reel 363 is also rotatably installed on the knee joint rotation support shaft 362 through bearing structures. The first output wire reel 361 is fixedly installed on the knee joint rotation support shaft 362, and the first output wire reel 361 and the intermediate wire reel 363 are arranged side by side. The side of the first output wire reel 361 is fixedly connected to the top of the calf structure 32. An encoder for aligning with the knee joint rotation support shaft 362 is also installed at the bottom of the thigh structure 31 to facilitate the feedback of the motion state of the knee joint. Among them, one end of the knee joint rotation support shaft 362 is fixedly installed at the top of the calf structure 32, that is, a support plate frame is provided on one side of the top of the calf structure 32 for fixedly installing the knee joint rotation support shaft 362. The other end of the knee joint rotation support shaft 362 is supported on the other side of the top of the calf structure 32 through the first output wire reel 361, that is, the first output wire reel 361 is fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the calf structure 32. Two joint plate frames are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the thigh structure 31. The knee joint rotation support shaft 362 is rotatably matched with the two joint plate frames through bearings, and the two joint plate frames are respectively arranged close to the side of the support plate frame and the first output wire reel 361. This not only facilitates installation, disassembly and subsequent maintenance, but also facilitates the rotation of the knee joint and the smooth operation of the intermediate wire reel, strengthens the support stability of the knee joint rotation support shaft 362, avoids problems such as inaccurate control positioning caused by shaking during the control process, and is beneficial to the overall balance and coordination control of the robot.
[0050] The first transmission wheel 335 and the second transmission wheel 336 are sprockets or synchronous pulleys. The first drive cable structure 341 and the second drive cable structure 342 are composed of a chain or a synchronous belt and metal cables connected to the two ends of the chain or the synchronous belt respectively. The chain or the synchronous belt cooperates with the sprocket or the synchronous pulley. The other ends of the two metal cables are fastened to the output cable drum structure and / or the driven control part. One of the metal cables is fastened to the output cable drum structure and / or the driven control part through the tension adjustment structure 5, thereby forming a tight return cable. The structure of the road avoids the impact transmission torque during the motion control process, and there is no vacuum distance for transmission looseness, so that the control stability and accuracy are high, and it has extremely high flexibility and exquisiteness. The structure of the metal cable and the chain or synchronous belt composite is not only easier to achieve the tension state, but also the chain or synchronous belt replaces the complete cable, which can also avoid the transmission wheel diameter being too small when the reduction transmission ratio is increased to increase the torque, resulting in fatigue fracture due to the ratio with the cable diameter, thereby extending the overall service life of the tendon-like drive line structure 34. Among them, the output cable disc structure is the first transmission wheel disc 335 or the second transmission wheel disc 336, and the driven control part is the calf structure 32 or the foot plate structure 35. If the thigh structure 31 adopts tendon control, the driven control part can also be the thigh structure 31. The output cable disc structure and the driven control part are represented the same below.
[0051] The above-mentioned tension adjustment structure 5 includes an adjusting screw 51 and a tightening adjustment nut structure 52. The tightening adjustment nut structure 52 is sleeved on the adjusting screw 51, and the front end of the adjusting screw 51 is connected to the metal cable. A wire end clamp is provided on the output reel structure and / or the driven control component, and the tightening adjustment nut structure 52 is clamped on the wire end clamp; a limited clamping cap structure 53 is also provided at the rear end of the adjusting screw 51, and a through hole is provided in the center of the adjusting screw 51. The metal cable passes through the through hole to the limited clamping cap structure 53 and is clamped, that is, the limited clamping cap structure 53 serves as both an end limit and a crimping joint. The steel cable pulling structure can also be directly welded to the front end of the adjusting screw 51, but its tensioning force and fracture protection will be limited.
[0052] The above-mentioned first rotation driving device 332 and the second rotation driving device 333 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first output shaft structure and the second output shaft structure are respectively installed at the output ends of the first rotation driving device 332 and the second rotation driving device 333, the first output shaft structure and the second output shaft structure are coaxial and arranged opposite to each other, and a coaxial stabilization kit structure 6 is also installed between the first output shaft structure and the second output shaft structure, and the first transmission wheel 335 and the second transmission wheel 336 are respectively connected to the first rotation driving device 332 and the second rotation driving device 333 through the first output shaft structure and the second output shaft structure.
[0053] The above-mentioned coaxial stabilization kit structure 6 includes a stabilizing bushing 61 and a tensioning screw structure 64. One end of the stabilizing bushing 61 is connected to the side surface of the first transmission wheel 335. The other end of the stabilizing bushing 61 is provided with a bearing installation cavity 62. A rotating bearing structure 63 is installed in the bearing installation cavity 62, and the rotating bearing structure 63 is sleeved on the end of the second output shaft structure.
[0054] An installation through hole is provided in the central part of the first output shaft structure, and an installation threaded hole is provided in the central part of the second output shaft structure.
