Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of piezoelectric drive technology and planetary exploration robot, and in particular to a patch-type traveling wave piezoelectric drive wheeled mobile robot and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Planetary exploration is an important topic for deep space exploration in various countries. Among them, the wheeled mobile system is the most widely used planetary robot mobile system, which has the advantages of fast movement speed and easy control. However, it also has the problem of poor obstacle crossing ability.

[0003] The diameter of lunar soil particles is mainly less than 1mm, with an average particle size of 70μm. Nearly half of the lunar soil has a diameter smaller than the naked eye can resolve. If the traditional wheeled mobile system is driven by an electromagnetic motor, there is a risk of lunar soil entering the deceleration device. Once the transmission is disturbed, the motor will be blocked and may cause a large current to burn out the motor.

[0004] Piezoelectric actuation uses piezoelectric ceramics to drive the stator surface to produce a micro-elliptical motion, and uses friction to transmit the motion to the rotor. Compared with the mobile device composed of electromagnetic motors, it has the advantage of direct actuation without the need for a complex transmission mechanism. At the same time, the high-frequency micro-vibration of the stator surface can play a role in surface cleaning to a certain extent, reducing the impact of lunar soil on the mobile system.

[0005] In the existing design of piezoelectric actuated planetary motion systems (publication numbers: CN109334794A, CN206615409U), the crawler-type structure uses the elliptical motion of the piezoelectric vibrator surface to drive the crawler in contact with it to move, but the pre-pressure between the two can only be adjusted by the tension of the crawler, which is difficult to adjust to the best. At the same time, the additional crawler will greatly increase the weight of the system. The wheeled structure has the problems of complex structure, large design weight and size, and poor passability in complex terrain. Summary of the invention

[0034] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention discloses a patch-type traveling wave piezoelectric driven wheeled mobile robot, comprising a patch-type piezoelectric vibrator, a first wheel and a second wheel;

[0040] The first side surface and the third side surface of the rectangular beam are provided with mounting grooves corresponding to the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet in the 2S piezoelectric ceramic group. The piezoelectric ceramic sheets in the 2S piezoelectric ceramic group are glued to the rectangular beam by epoxy resin.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the first wheel and the second wheel both include a first wheel hub, a second wheel hub, a variable-section shaft, a first outer wheel, a second outer wheel, an adjusting spring and an adjusting nut; the variable-section shaft includes a smooth rod, a square rod and a screw rod coaxially connected in sequence, and the external thread on the screw rod matches the internal thread of the adjusting nut; the first wheel hub and the second wheel hub both include a cylindrical section and a truncated cone section, the end face of the truncated cone section with a larger area is fixedly connected to one end of the cylindrical section, and the truncated cone section and the cylindrical section are coaxial; the first wheel hub is provided with a square through hole matching the square rod of the variable-section shaft along its axis, and the second wheel hub is provided with a spring at the center of the end face of its truncated cone section away from the truncated cone section for adjusting the nut.

At least four gear teeth are evenly arranged on the outer walls of the first outer wheel and the second outer wheel, Figure 1 , Figure 3 Six gear teeth are used.

[0042] The side walls of the first hub cone section of the first wheel and the side walls of the second hub cone section of the first wheel respectively abut against the two ends of the first driving ring, and the side walls of the first hub cone section of the second wheel and the side walls of the second hub cone section of the second wheel respectively abut against the two ends of the second driving ring; the adjusting nut of the first wheel is used to adjust the pre-pressure between the first wheel and the first driving ring, and the adjusting nut of the second wheel is used to adjust the pre-pressure between the second wheel and the second driving ring.

[0043] The first wheel and the second wheel are both made of metal material.

[0044] The present invention also discloses a working method of the patch-type traveling wave piezoelectric drive wheeled mobile robot, comprising the following steps:

[0045] Apply a first-phase driving voltage and a second-phase driving voltage to the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet in the (2X + 1)-th pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups respectively, where X is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than S; apply a second-phase driving voltage and a first-phase driving voltage to the first piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the second piezoelectric ceramic sheet in the 2Y-th pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups respectively, where Y is an integer greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to S; adjust the first-phase driving voltage and the second-phase driving voltage so that their phase difference is π / 2, and simultaneously excite the N-th order bending vibration and the M-th order longitudinal vibration of the rectangular beam, where N is an odd number and M is an even number, and then simultaneously excite two in-plane bending vibrations with the same order and a π / 2 spatial phase difference on the first and second driving rings, thereby coupling two traveling waves with the same turning direction, generating the same small-amplitude elliptical motion of the inner-ring particles of the first and second driving rings, and driving the first wheel and the second wheel to rotate in the same direction through frictional force, so that the patch-type traveling-wave piezoelectric-driven wheeled mobile robot moves;

[0046] If it is necessary to make the patch-type traveling-wave piezoelectric-driven wheeled mobile robot move in the reverse direction, just adjust the first-phase driving voltage and the second-phase driving voltage so that their phase difference is -π / 2.

[0047] The following takes S = 2 as an example for illustration:

[0048] As Figure 2 shown, there are a total of four groups of piezoelectric ceramic groups for exciting the bending vibration and longitudinal vibration of the rectangular beam, all of which are polarized along the thickness direction. Among them, the polarization directions of the four piezoelectric ceramic sheets in the first pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.1 and the second pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.2 are the same, and are opposite to the polarization directions of the four piezoelectric ceramic sheets in the third pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.3 and the fourth pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.4. At the same time, the voltages applied to the upper and lower piezoelectric ceramic sheets of each pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups have a time phase difference of π / 2.

[0049] As Figure 4 shown, according to the above polarization direction and excitation voltage loading method, each pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups can simultaneously excite the bending vibration and longitudinal vibration of the rectangular beam. In the first pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups, taking the first excitation electrical signal as a sine signal and the second excitation electrical signal as a cosine signal as an example, in one excitation cycle, when t = t1 and t = t5, the rectangular beam reaches the limit position of the bending vibration, and when t = t3 and t = t7, the rectangular beam reaches the limit position of the longitudinal vibration. When 0 < t < t2 and t4 < t < t6, one of the upper and lower ceramic sheets elongates while the other shrinks, exciting the rectangular beam to perform an approximate bending vibration, and this is the bending vibration time at this time. When t2 < t < t4 and t6 < t < t8, the upper and lower ceramic sheets elongate or shrink simultaneously, exciting the rectangular beam to perform an approximate longitudinal vibration, and this is the longitudinal vibration time at this time. In one excitation cycle, there is both longitudinal vibration time and bending vibration time, and the bending vibration and longitudinal vibration of the rectangular beam can be simultaneously excited.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown in , when the rectangular beam is excited to produce bending vibration, the ring structure will present K (K ≥ 2) order in-plane vibration modes; Figure 6 As shown, when the rectangular beam is excited to vibrate longitudinally, the annular structure will present a K (K≥2) order in-plane bending vibration mode which is the same shape as the above-excited in-plane bending vibration but has a spatial phase difference of π / 2. When the four pairs of piezoelectric ceramic groups are respectively connected to the first phase and the second phase driving voltage with a time phase difference of π / 2, the rectangular beam will be excited to produce bending vibration mode and longitudinal vibration mode at the same time, and will present a K (K≥2) order bending traveling wave rotating in the same direction along the circumferential direction on the first and second driving rings, and the particles on the inner surface of the first and second driving rings will make a slight elliptical motion, driving the first wheel and the second wheel to move through friction. When the phase difference between the first phase and the second phase driving voltage is changed to -π / 2, the traveling waves on the first and second driving rings will achieve reverse rotation, realizing reverse driving of the first wheel and the second wheel.

[0051] Take k=4, the first phase driving voltage is a cosine signal, and the second phase driving voltage is a sine signal as an example. When the four pairs of piezoelectric ceramic groups are applied with Figure 2 When the voltage signal shown is applied, the 8th order bending vibration mode and the 3rd order longitudinal vibration mode of the rectangular beam are excited simultaneously, and the midpoint of the rectangular beam is located at the node; and the four pairs of piezoelectric ceramic groups are all located at the peaks and troughs of the bending vibration, the first pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.1 and the fourth pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.4 are located at the nodes of the longitudinal vibration, and the second pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.2 and the third pair of piezoelectric ceramic groups 2.3 are located at the groove in the middle of the rectangular beam; at this time, the two isomorphic 4th order in-plane bending vibration modes of the first and second driving rings have a π / 2 phase difference in time and space, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, it can be coupled into a traveling wave rotating in the circumferential direction, and the particles on the inner surface of the first and second driving rings will make a slight elliptical motion, and the first wheel and the second wheel will rotate through friction. When the phase difference between the first phase driving voltage and the second phase driving voltage is changed to -π / 2, the traveling waves formed on the first and second driving rings will reverse at the same time, so the first wheel and the second wheel will also rotate in the opposite direction.
