[0002] Robot is a common name for automatic control machines (Robot), usually including all machines that simulate human behavior or thoughts, as well as other biological machines, such as robotic arms. Robots can include motors, actuators, and brakes. When the robot is powered on, the motor drives the actuator to move to achieve the robot's actions. When the robot is powered off, the brake instantly locks the output shaft of the motor so that it cannot continue to rotate, thereby keeping the robot in a stopped state.

[0081] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0082] It should be understood that the "multiple" mentioned in this application refers to two or more. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first" and "second" do not limit them to be different.

[0083] Before explaining the embodiments of the present application in detail, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are first described.

[0084] Robot is a common name for automatic control machines (Robot), usually including all machines that simulate human behavior or thoughts, as well as other biological machines, such as robotic arms. Robots can include motor modules, actuators, and brake modules. The motor module is connected to the actuator. When the robot is powered on, the motor module works and drives the actuator to move to achieve the robot's action. When the robot loses power, the brake module can lock the motor module, so that the robot remains in a stopped state.

[0085] In the related art, when the robot is powered off, the motor module and brake module of the robot lose power instantly. At this time, the brake module will immediately lock the motor module, so that the robot switches from the action state to the stop action state. However, when the robot is powered off, the motor module still has a high speed due to inertia. At this time, the brake module immediately locks the motor module, which will generate huge mechanical stress and shorten the service life of the robot.

[0086] To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a driving brake circuit for a robotic arm and a robotic arm, which can reduce the mechanical stress generated when the brake module locks the robot after the robot is powered off, thereby extending the service life of the robot.

[0087] The drive brake circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application is explained in detail below. The drive brake circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a robot, for example, the drive brake circuit can be applied to a robotic arm. In each embodiment of the present application, the connection between two electrical devices refers to an electrical connection. The electrical connection here refers to a wired or wireless connection between two electrical devices to transmit electrical signals.

[0088] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of a module structure of a driving brake circuit 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the driving brake circuit 10 includes a driving module 110 , a motor module 120 , a brake module 130 and an energy storage module 104 .

[0089] The drive module 110 may be a drive controller, which is used to supply power to the motor module 120 and the brake module 130, and control the motor module 120 and the brake module 130 to work. In some embodiments, the drive module 110 may be a stepper motor driver, or a servo motor driver, etc. The energy storage module 104 is used to store and release electrical energy, and may be a capacitor or / and a battery with the function of storing and releasing electrical energy. In some embodiments, the energy storage module 104 may include one capacitor, or may include multiple capacitors, and multiple capacitors are connected in series or in parallel to form the energy storage module 104. The drive module 110 and the energy storage module 104 are respectively connected to the power module 102, so that the drive module 110 and the energy storage module 104 can obtain the electrical energy output by the power module 102. In this way, when the power module 102 is powered on, the power module 102 can supply power to the drive module 110 and charge the energy storage module 104; when the power module 102 is powered off, the energy storage module 104 can supply power to the drive module 110.

[0090] The motor module 120 may be a motor, including a mechanical structure and a circuit structure of the motor. The motor module 120 is used to work under the drive of the drive module 110, so as to realize the movement of the robot. In some embodiments, the motor module 120 may be a stepper motor, or a servo motor, etc. The brake module 130 may be a brake, and the brake module 130 is used to release the motor module 120 or lock the motor module 120 under the drive of the drive module 110. In some embodiments, the brake module 130 may be a striker brake, or an electromagnetic brake, etc. The motor module 120 and the brake module 130 are respectively connected to the drive module 110, so that when the power module 102 or the energy storage module 104 supplies power to the drive module 110, the drive module 110 can output electric energy to the motor module 120 and the brake module 130, and control the motor module 120 and the brake module 130 to work.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the output end of the power module 102 may be connected to a DC bus. The drive module 110 and the energy storage module 104 are both connected to the DC bus. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the first voltage V1 represents the output voltage of the power module 102, that is, the voltage of the DC bus. The working process of the driving brake circuit 10 is:

[0092] When the power module 102 is powered on, the power module 102 charges the energy storage module 104, and the power module 102 supplies power to the drive module 110. At this time, the drive module 110 outputs electric energy to the motor module 120 and the brake module 130, controls the motor module 120 to work, and controls the brake module 130 to be powered on and opened, without locking the motor. When the power module 102 is powered off, the energy storage module 104 starts to discharge, and the energy storage module 104 supplies power to the drive module 110. The drive module 110 is configured to perform a delayed brake function when the power module 102 is powered off. The delayed brake function includes: the drive module 110 outputs electric energy to the motor module 120 and the brake module 130, controls the motor module 120 to decelerate, and controls the brake module 130 to be powered on and opened, without locking the motor; after the motor module 120 decelerates to a preset speed, the drive module 110 drives the brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120. Among them, the implementation method of "the driving module 110 drives the brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120" includes: the driving module 110 stops outputting electric energy to the brake module 130, and the brake module 130 automatically locks the motor module 120 after power failure. After the power module 102 loses power, the driving brake circuit 10 supplies power to the driving module 110 from the energy storage module 104. At this time, the driving module 110 can first drive the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, and then drive the brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120. In this way, the mechanical stress generated when the brake module 130 locks the motor module 120 can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the robot arm using the driving brake circuit 10.

[0093] In some embodiments, the preset speed may be a fixed speed value, such as 100 rpm, or 0. In other embodiments, the preset speed may be the product of the speed of the motor module 120 before the power module 102 loses power and a preset percentage. The preset percentage here should be less than 100% and greater than or equal to 0. For example, the preset percentage may be 10%, or 20% or 50%, etc. When the driving module 110 drives the motor module 120 to decelerate, the motor module 120 may be driven to decelerate at the maximum acceleration of the motor module 120.

[0094] In some embodiments, the energy storage module 104 may include a super capacitor E1. When the energy storage module 104 includes the super capacitor E1, the first plate of the super capacitor E1 may be connected to the output terminal of the power module 102, and the second plate of the super capacitor E1 may be connected to the ground line GND.

[0095] In some embodiments, the driving brake circuit 10 may further include the above-mentioned power module 102. The power module 102 may be an AC-DC converter. The AC-DC converter is used to convert the input AC power into DC power and output it. The input end of the power module 102 may be connected to the mains, so as to input AC power. The output end of the power module 102 may be connected to the energy storage module 104 and the driving module 110. In other embodiments, the power module 102 may also be a power supply for outputting constant voltage DC power, etc., which is not limited here.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the driving brake circuit 10 may further include a power failure detection module 140 .

[0097] The power failure detection module 140 is connected to the power module 102 and the drive module 110 respectively. The power failure detection module 140 is configured to detect whether the power module 102 is powered off based on the input signal of the power module 102, and trigger the drive module 110 to perform the delayed braking function when the power module 102 is detected to be powered off.

[0098] Specifically, the power failure detection module 140 is connected between the power module 102 and the driving module 110. The power failure detection module 140 can detect the input signal of the power module 102 and determine whether the power module 102 is powered off according to the input signal of the power module 102.

[0099] In some embodiments, the power failure detection module 140 can detect whether the power module 102 has an input signal. When the power failure detection module 140 detects that the power module 102 has an input signal, it is determined that the power module 102 is not powered off; when the power failure detection module 140 detects that the power module 102 does not have an input signal, it is determined that the power module 102 is powered off.

[0100] In other embodiments, when the power module 102 is an AC / DC converter and the input signal of the power module 102 is an AC signal, the power-off detection module 140 can detect whether the power module 102 is powered off based on the waveform of the input signal of the power module 102. That is, the power-off detection module 140 detects the waveform of the input signal of the power module 102 and compares it with a preset waveform. When the waveform of the input signal of the power module 102 is consistent with the preset waveform, the power-off detection module 140 obtains that the power module 102 is not powered off; when the waveform of the input signal of the power module 102 is inconsistent with the preset waveform, the power-off detection module 140 obtains that the power module 102 is powered off.

[0101] When the power failure detection module 140 obtains that the power module 102 is powered off, the driving module 110 is triggered to perform the delayed brake function. In other words, the power failure detection module 140 sends a trigger signal when the power module 102 is powered off. When the driving module 110 receives the trigger signal, it controls the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, and then the driving module 110 drives the brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120.

[0102] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the driving brake circuit 10 further includes an encoding module 150 .

[0103] The encoding module 150 is connected to the motor module 120 and the driving module 110 respectively. The encoding module 150 is configured to detect the real-time rotation speed of the motor module 120 and output the detected real-time rotation speed to the driving module 110 .

[0104] Specifically, when the driving module 110 performs the delayed brake function, it is necessary to first drive the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, and then drive the brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120. In this process, the driving module 110 can drive the motor module 120 to decelerate, and detect the real-time speed of the motor through the encoding module 150. After the driving module 110 obtains the real-time speed of the motor module 120, the real-time speed of the motor module 120 is compared with the preset speed. If the real-time speed of the motor module 120 is less than or equal to the preset speed, the driving module 110 drives the brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120.

[0105] In some embodiments, the motor module 120 includes a rotating shaft for rotation. The encoding module 150 may include an encoder and a computing unit, and the encoder includes a magnetic ring and a reading head. The magnetic ring in the encoder may be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor module 120, and the reading head may be fixedly connected to other parts of the motor module 120, so that when the motor module 120 is working, the magnetic ring rotates with the rotating shaft, and the reading head does not rotate with the rotating shaft. In this way, when the motor module 120 is working and the rotating shaft rotates, the encoder can read the position value of the rotating shaft at a preset time interval through the magnetic ring and the reading head and output it to the computing unit. The computing unit can calculate the real-time speed of the rotating shaft of the motor module 120 through the change in the position value of the rotating shaft and the preset time.

[0106] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the driving brake circuit 10 may include a plurality of driving modules 110 , a plurality of motor modules 120 , a plurality of brake modules 130 and a plurality of encoding modules 150 .

[0107] The number of drive modules 110, the number of motor modules 120, the number of brake modules 130 and the number of encoding modules 150 may be correspondingly equal. Each drive module 110 is connected to the output end of the power module 102 and the energy storage module 104, and each drive module 110 is connected to the power failure detection module 140. When the power failure detection module 140 detects that the power module 102 is powered off, it triggers each drive module 110 to perform the delayed brake function. When each drive module 110 performs the delayed brake function, it drives the corresponding motor module 120 to decelerate, and detects the real-time speed of the motor module 120 through the corresponding encoding module 150. When the real-time speed of the motor module 120 is equal to or less than the preset speed, the drive module 110 drives the corresponding brake module 130 to lock the motor module 120.

[0108] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving module 110 may include a motor control unit 112 and a current adjustment unit 114 .

[0109] The motor control unit 112 is connected between the power module 102 and the motor module 120. When the power module 102 is powered on, the power module 102 supplies power to the motor control unit 112, and the motor control unit 112 can control the motor module 120 to power on and work. When the power module 102 is powered off, the energy storage module 104 supplies power to the motor control unit 112, and the motor control unit 112 can control the motor module 120 to decelerate.

[0110] The current adjustment unit 114 is connected between the power module 102 and the brake module 130. The current adjustment unit 114 is configured to control the current in the brake module 130 to remain unchanged when the drive module 110 drives the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed.

[0111] Specifically, when the driving module 110 drives the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, the current adjustment unit 114 needs to maintain the current in the brake module 130 unchanged, so as to prevent the brake module 130 from prematurely locking the motor module 120. In other words, after the power module 102 loses power and before the motor module 120 decelerates to a preset speed, the current output by the current adjustment unit 114 to the brake module 130 remains unchanged, so as to prevent the brake module 130 from prematurely losing power and locking the motor module 120.

[0112] Different implementations of the current adjustment unit 114 are described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0113] In a first possible implementation, the current adjustment unit 114 is configured to: during the process of the drive module 110 driving the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, adjust the current output to the brake module 130 based on the output voltage of the energy storage module 104, so as to control the current in the brake module 130 to remain unchanged. In other words, after the power module 102 loses power, the energy storage module 104 supplies power to the drive module 110, and during the process of the drive module 110 driving the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, the current adjustment unit 114 detects the output voltage of the energy storage module 104, and adjusts the current output to the brake module 130 according to the output voltage of the energy storage module 104, so as to control the current in the brake module 130 to remain unchanged.

[0114] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a module structure of a current adjustment unit 114 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the current adjustment unit 114 includes a voltage detector 1141 , a first controller 1142 , and a current regulator 1143 .

[0115] The voltage detector 1141 is connected between the energy storage module 104 and the first controller 1142, and is used to detect the output voltage of the energy storage module 104. That is, the input end of the voltage detector 1141 is connected to the energy storage module 104, and the output end of the voltage detector 1141 is connected to the input end of the first controller 1142, so as to detect the output voltage of the energy storage module 104, and transmit the magnitude of the output voltage to the first controller 1142. The first controller 1142 is used to generate a first control signal according to the output voltage of the energy storage module 104.

[0116] The current regulator 1143 is connected to the first controller 1142 , the energy storage module 104 and the brake module 130 respectively, and is used to adjust the current output from the energy storage module 104 to the brake module 130 according to the first control signal to control the current in the brake module 130 to remain unchanged.

[0117] Specifically, it is known from the above description that the output end of the power module 102 is connected to a DC bus, and the drive module 110 and the energy storage module 104 are both connected to the DC bus. The first voltage V1 in the figure can represent the voltage of the DC bus, and can also represent the voltage of the energy storage module 104. The output voltage of the power module 102 can be 48V. That is, when the energy storage module 104 is fully charged, the voltage of the energy storage module 104 is 48V. After the power module 102 is powered off, the output voltage of the energy storage module 104 will continue to decrease from 48V, and the voltage output from the energy storage module 104 to the current regulator 1143 will also continue to decrease. The voltage detector 1141 is used to detect the output voltage of the energy storage module 104, and the first controller 1142 is used to generate a first control signal according to the output voltage of the energy storage module 104. The first control signal is used to adjust the duty cycle of the current regulator 1143, thereby adjusting the current output from the current regulator 1143 to the brake module 130. The duty cycle of the current regulator 1143 refers to the percentage of the closing time of the current regulator 1143 to the total closing and closing time.

[0118] For example, if the current in the brake module 130 needs to be constant at 0.2A, and the resistance of the coil in the brake module 130 is 24Ω, then the actual voltage required by the coil in the brake module 130 is 4.8V. At this time, if the voltage detector 1141 detects that the output voltage of the energy storage module 104 is 48V, the first controller 1142 can control the duty cycle of the current regulator 1143 to 10% so that the current in the brake module 130 is 0.2A. If the voltage detector 1141 detects that the output voltage of the energy storage module 104 is 24V, the first controller 1142 can control the duty cycle of the current regulator 1143 to 20%. In this way, when the output voltage of the energy storage module 104 drops from 48V to 4.8V, the first controller 1142 can keep the current in the brake module 130 constant by continuously adjusting the duty cycle of the current regulator 1143.

Among them, the resistance value of the first resistor R1 can be 30KΩ, the resistance value of the second resistor R2 can be 1KΩ, the resistance value of the third resistor R3 can be 1KΩ, and the capacitance of the first capacitor C1 can be 0.1μF.

The first single-chip microcomputer U1 is used to obtain the first control signal and generate a level signal according to the first control signal. The level signal is output from the second pin P2 of the first single-chip microcomputer U1. The first end of the sixth resistor R6 is connected to the second pin P2 of the first single-chip microcomputer U1. The gate of the first transistor M1 is connected to the second end of the sixth resistor R6, the drain of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first end of the energy storage module 104, and the source of the first transistor M1 is connected to the first end of the brake module 130. The level signal output by the first single-chip microcomputer U1 is used to control the duty cycle of the first transistor M1, thereby adjusting the current output to the brake module 130. The duty cycle of the first transistor M1 refers to the percentage of the closing time between the source and the drain of the first transistor M1 to the total closing and closing time. In the embodiment of the present application, the duty cycle of the first transistor M1 is the duty cycle of the current regulator 1143. Among them, the resistance value of the fourth resistor R4 can be 1KΩ, the resistance value of the fifth resistor R5 can be 10KΩ, and the resistance value of the sixth resistor R6 can be 75Ω.

The third pin P3 of the first single-chip microcomputer U1 is a power pin of the single-chip microcomputer U1, and is used to input a third voltage V3. The third voltage V3 can be 14V. The third voltage V3 can be converted from the first voltage V1, or provided by an independent DC power supply. A sixth capacitor C6 can be connected between the third pin P3 and the fourth pin P4 of the first single-chip microcomputer U1. The fourth pin P4 and the fifth pin P5 of the first single-chip microcomputer U1 are both connected to the ground wire GND. Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the first transistor M1 can also be replaced by a third single-chip microcomputer U3 having the same function.

In other words, the first plate of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the energy storage module 104, and the third plate of the third capacitor C3 is connected to the ground line GND. The second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are voltage-stabilizing capacitors for reducing the fluctuation of the voltage output from the energy storage module 104 to the driving module 110. Among them, the capacitance value of the second capacitor C2 can be 1μF, and the capacitance value of the third capacitor C3 can be 100nF.

[0126] In some embodiments, the driving brake circuit 10 may further include a diode D2. The cathode of the diode D2 is connected to the energy storage module 104, and the anode of the diode D2 is connected to the current regulator 1143. The diode D2 can be used to provide freewheeling for the brake module 130. When the cathode voltage of the diode D2 exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode D2, the diode D2 is broken down, and the brake module 130 is short-circuited by the diode D2. At this time, the brake module 130 does not work.

[0127] In a second possible implementation, the current adjustment unit 114 is configured to control the current in the brake module 130 to remain unchanged based on the constant current chip during the process of the drive module 110 driving the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed. In other words, after the power module 102 loses power, the energy storage module 104 supplies power to the drive module 110, and during the process of the drive module 110 driving the motor module 120 to decelerate to a preset speed, the constant current chip in the current adjustment unit 114 outputs current to the brake module 130, so that the current in the brake module 130 remains unchanged.

The second capacitor C2 and the third capacitor C3 are voltage-stabilizing capacitors, which are used to reduce the fluctuation of the voltage output from the energy storage module 104 to the brake module 130. The diode D2 can be used to freewheel the brake module 130. When the cathode voltage of the diode D2 exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode D2, the diode D2 is broken down, and the brake module 130 is short-circuited by the diode D2. At this time, the brake module 130 does not work. The brake driving circuit 10 may further include a fifth capacitor C5. The fifth capacitor C5 is a voltage stabilizing capacitor connected between the output end of the voltage conversion unit 116 and the ground line GND to stabilize the voltage output by the voltage conversion unit 116.
