Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a mobile robot chassis and a control method thereof, in particular to a mobile robot chassis applicable to uneven ground and a control method thereof, belonging to the technical field of mobile robots. Background Art
[0002] Mobile robots are mechanical devices that automatically perform work. They are integrated systems that integrate multiple functions such as environmental perception, dynamic decision-making and planning, and behavior control and execution. Mobile robots can accept human commands, run pre-programmed programs, and act according to principles and guidelines formulated with artificial intelligence technology. As the performance of robots continues to improve, the application scope of mobile robots has greatly expanded. They are not only widely used in industries such as industry, agriculture, medical care, and services, but also in harmful and dangerous situations such as urban security, national defense, and space exploration.
[0003] The chassis of a mobile robot is an important component of a mobile robot, which directly affects the stability, accuracy and reliability of the operation of the mobile robot. Most of the mobile robot chassis in the prior art adopt a differential wheel structure, which has a low cost and good walking stability, but has poor movement flexibility and low carrying capacity. The Mecanum wheel is an omnidirectional movement method that has emerged in recent years. It is a mobile platform that combines four Mecanum wheels that are symmetrical in front and back and left and right. Under the premise of not changing the direction of the Mecanum wheel itself, the different directions and speeds of each Mecanum wheel can be combined to generate a resultant force vector in any direction, thereby ensuring the movement of the mobile platform in the direction of the resultant force vector and realizing omnidirectional movement. Therefore, compared with the mobile robot chassis with a differential wheel structure, the mobile robot chassis with a Mecanum wheel structure has better movement flexibility and greater carrying capacity.
[0004] However, in the prior art, the Mecanum wheels of the mobile robot chassis with a Mecanum wheel structure mostly adopt a non-suspension connection method, that is, the Mecanum wheels are directly positioned and installed on the chassis. On the one hand, this non-suspension connection method has high requirements on the ground flatness of the use environment. The mobile platform composed of four Mecanum wheels is prone to slipping on uneven ground, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of accurate positioning and movement when the chassis moving speed, load and road conditions change greatly. On the other hand, the longitudinal distance or lateral distance between the center of the Mecanum wheel of the non-suspension connection method and the geometric center of the chassis is a constant, so the kinematic equation of the chassis is unchanged, that is, the relationship between the chassis speed set by the program and the Mecanum wheel speed is certain. However, in the actual working environment, different load conditions will cause different degrees of vibration, and the vibration is more obvious under the load condition of eccentric load, which will directly affect the power distribution and efficiency of each Mecanum wheel during the movement process. At the same time, the vibration will also have an adverse effect on the expansion equipment installed on the mobile robot chassis. Summary of the invention

The upper connecting plate 31, the bearing seat bracket 32, the lower connecting plate 33 and the chassis frame 1 together form a parallelogram structure, and the four Mecanum wheels 2 are respectively axially positioned by the horizontally arranged stepped transmission shaft 21 and are installed on the bearing seat bracket 32 of the four groups of connecting units 3 through connection.
[0036] The shock-absorbing spring units 4 are symmetrically arranged in four groups corresponding to the connecting units 3.
