Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a rigid-flexible coupling rope-driven exo-limb robot for fruit picking. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, people have further demands for life and production, and robots used in various scenarios have emerged. In order to improve work efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of operators, external limb robots have attracted much attention due to their portability and high efficiency. For the current stage of fruit picking, traditional machines are prone to damage fruits, and the yield rate of fruits is low; although manual picking can ensure the yield rate of fruits, its labor intensity is high and the work efficiency is low. In addition, when some fruit trees are located in mountainous areas or the planting density is high, large-scale picking equipment cannot enter. At this time, the external limb robot can ensure that the operator completes auxiliary actions such as picking, grasping, and fixing due to its portability. When facing tall fruit trees, it can enable the operator to pick fruits without the help of other tools, which can effectively improve the yield rate of fruits and the work intensity of personnel. At the same time, it also has broad application prospects in the fields of auxiliary assembly, rehabilitation and health care. For complex assembly tasks that cannot be completed by a single person, the external limb robot can assist in completing the work, and for people with incomplete limb movement functions, it can complete daily auxiliary actions such as picking and supporting.
[0003] The functions of existing exo-limb robot structures are still relatively simple. For example, a wearable pneumatic flexible exo-limb robot is a robot that can assist people in grasping objects, but the robot has only one mechanical arm, which makes it difficult to cope with complex and changeable application scenarios. In addition, the robot is made of flexible materials that are easily damaged, which is not conducive to later inspection and maintenance. There is also a dual-purpose exo-limb robot for assisting human motion, which can provide upper limb assistance and lower limb assistance, but it can only perform simple basic operations and is difficult to cope with complex multi-task scenarios.

[0059] In order to make the content of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0060] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, a rigid-flexible coupling rope-driven exo-limb robot for fruit picking includes a back support plate 1, a wearable device 1-1 mounted on the back support plate 1, a power supply device 6, a control device 5 and two mechanical arms 2; wherein,
[0061] The U-shaped groove on the upper part of the back support plate 1 is used to install the wearable device 1-1, and the fixed base 2-1 of the mechanical arm 2 is respectively installed on both sides of the upper end of the back support plate 1, and the rope tensioning devices 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper end of the back side of the back support plate 1. The rope tensioning devices 3 are used to tension the ropes 4-5 when the mechanical arm 2 is initially reset. Four motor frames 1-2 distributed in a vertical stepped manner are installed below the two rope tensioning devices 3. Grooves are opened in the middle part of the back side of the back support plate 1 and on both sides of the U-shaped groove, and some components of the control device 6, the motor driver 4-3 and the power supply device 6 are respectively installed.
[0062] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 3 and 15, the wearable device 1-1 is an integrated structure, and its back is a U-shaped boss for installation and fixation on the back support plate 1, and the front end of the wearable device 1-1 is a shoulder fixing frame and a waist belt.
[0063] like Figure 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, and 13, the robotic arm 2 includes a robotic arm seat, a rigid upper arm 2-3, a rigid lower arm 2-4, a continuous flexible arm 2-5, and a robotic claw 2-6. The robotic arm seat includes a fixed base 2-1 and an upper arm rotating joint 2-2. The rigid upper arm 2-3 and the upper arm rotating joint 2-2 are connected by an upper arm driving shaft 2-7. The rigid lower arm 2-4 and the rigid upper arm 2-3 are connected by an lower arm driving shaft 2-8. The continuous flexible arm 2-5 is installed at the end groove of the rigid lower arm 2-4. The back support plate 1 The driving motors on both sides drive the upper arm rotating joint 2-2 to move through the synchronous belt 4-6. The driving device 4 includes four brushless DC motors 4-1. The output shaft of each brushless DC motor 4-1 is equipped with a winding wheel, and two ropes 4-5 wound in opposite directions are wound on the winding wheel. The four brushless DC motors 4-1 on the back of the back support plate 1 output 4 groups, i.e., 8 ropes 4-5, i.e., one group of ropes 4-5 is used to drive the rigid upper arm 2-3, one group of ropes 4-5 is used to drive the rigid forearm 2-4, and two groups of ropes 4-5 are used to drive the continuous flexible arm 2-5. After passing through the rope tensioning device 3 and the lasso 4-4 between the fixed base 2-1 and the boom rotating joint 2-2, the rope 4-5 driving the rigid boom is fixed to the boom driving wheel 2-9, the rope 4-5 driving the rigid forearm 2-4 and the rope of the continuous flexible arm 2-5 then pass through the three first reversing fixed pulleys 2-11 on the boom driving shaft 2-7, the rope 4-5 driving the rigid forearm 2-4 is fixed to the forearm driving wheel 2-10 on the forearm driving shaft 2-8, the rope driving the continuous flexible arm 2-5 then passes through the two second reversing fixed pulleys 2-12 on the forearm driving shaft 2-8 and the two guide wheels 2-13 at the end of the rigid forearm 2-4, and finally passes through the rope holes distributed 90 degrees around the continuous flexible arm 2-5 and is fixed to the end of the continuous flexible arm 2-5. A single robot arm 2 has five degrees of freedom, including one degree of freedom of the upper arm rotation joint 2-2, one degree of freedom of the rigid upper arm 2-3, one degree of freedom of the rigid lower arm 2-4, and two degrees of freedom of the continuous flexible arm 2-5. The bearing of the upper arm rotation joint 2-2 and the upper arm drive shaft 2-7 correspond to the shoulder joint of the human body, the lower arm drive shaft 2-8 corresponds to the elbow joint of the human body, and the continuous flexible arm 2-5 corresponds to the wrist joint of the human body. The material of the continuous flexible arm 2-5 is high-performance nylon.
[0064] The continuous flexible arm 2-5 corresponds to the wrist joint of the human body and is driven by four ropes 4-5 to realize bending movement with two degrees of freedom, so as to realize flexible grasping to protect the fruit. The mechanical claw 2-6 installed at the end thereof performs grasping action, and the part of the mechanical claw 2-6 used for contacting the fruit is made of flexible silicone material, which can realize effective protection of the fruit.
[0065] Specifically, the robotic arm 2 in this embodiment adopts a combination of a rigid structure and a flexible structure, which effectively combines the advantages of the rigid structure such as high control accuracy and strong load capacity with the advantages of the flexible structure such as good flexibility and good spatial accessibility; the rigid structure can accurately reach the predetermined picking position, and the flexible structure can complete the non-destructive picking of fruits, which reduces the workload of operators when picking fruits and improves the yield rate during picking.
[0066] like Fig. 9 , 10 As shown in Figures 11, the rope tensioning device 3 includes a guide mechanism 3-1 and a tensioning mechanism 3-2, the outer side of which is the tensioning mechanism 3-2, and the inner side of which is the guide mechanism 3-1. The rope 4-5 enters the tensioning mechanism 3-2 through the guide mechanism 3-1. The tensioning mechanism 3-2 has eight tensioning components, each of which is located in one layer, and adjacent layers are separated by partitions 3-5. There are tensioning guide wheels 3-3 fixed on both sides of each layer for guiding, and a retractable tensioning wheel 3-4 in the middle. The front and rear extension and retraction of the tensioning wheel 3-4 are completed by the joint action of elastic elements and bolts, which is used for tensioning the rope 4-5; since the driving rope 4-5 output by the brushless DC motor 4-1 is not in the same plane, the tensioning components of the two adjacent layers of the tensioning mechanism 3-2 are distributed front and back; the rope 4-5 enters the tensioning mechanism 3-2 from the brushless DC motor 4-1 through the guide mechanism 3-1, and is then output to the mechanical arm 2, which can effectively reduce the motion error caused by the relaxation of the driving rope 4-5 during the operation of the mechanical arm 2.
[0067] Each motor has a motor driver 4-3. The movement of a single robot arm 2 is controlled by five motors. The four brushless DC motors 4-1 on the back of the back support plate 1 are from bottom to top. The first brushless DC motor 4-1 controls the pitching movement of the rigid upper arm 2-3. The second and third brushless DC motors 4-1 control the bending movement of the two degrees of freedom of the continuous flexible arm 2-5. The fourth brushless DC motor 4-1 controls the pitching movement of the rigid lower arm 2-4. The driving motors on both sides of the back support plate 1 control the rotation movement of the entire robot arm 2. The rope output by the first brushless DC motor 4-1 passes through the rope tensioning device 3 and the fixed base 2-1, and is fixed to the upper arm driving wheel 2-9 on the upper arm driving shaft 2-7. The rope output by the fourth brushless DC motor 4-1 passes through the rope tensioning device 3, the fixed base 2-1 and the first reversing fixed pulley 2-11 on the upper arm driving shaft 2-7, and is fixed to the lower arm driving wheel 2-10 on the lower arm driving shaft 2-8. The four ropes output by the second and third brushless DC motors 4-1 are fixed to the end of the continuous flexible arm 2-5 through the rope tensioning device 3, the fixed base 2-1, the first reversing fixed pulley 2-11 on the upper arm drive shaft 2-7, the second reversing fixed pulley 2-12 on the lower arm drive shaft 2-8 and the guide wheel 2-13 at the end of the rigid lower arm 2-4. The driving motors on both sides are connected to the upper arm rotation joint 2-2 through the synchronous belt 4-6. The motors are all installed on the back support plate 1, and the robot 2 is driven by ropes 4-5. Compared with the traditional robot 2, it can effectively reduce the inertia of the robot 2 during movement and can effectively protect the core components such as the motor.
[0068] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in , 4, 7, 8, and 14, the control device 5 includes multiple encoders 5-2, multiple bending sensors 5-3, a main control chip, an arm electromyographic sensor 5-4, and a wireless control handle. The encoder 5-2 is installed at the upper arm rotation joint 2-2, the upper arm drive shaft 2-7, and the lower arm drive shaft 2-8. The bending sensor 5-3 is installed on the front and side of the continuous flexible arm 2-5. The wireless control handle and the arm electromyographic sensor 5-4 control the movement of the robot arm 2. The encoder 5-2 and the bending sensor 5-3 send the actual movement data to the main control chip 5-1, and the main control chip 5-1 performs motion compensation. According to the needs of the fruit picking operation, the arm electromyographic sensor 5-4 or the wireless handle 5-5 can be selected to realize the motion control of the robot arm. The present invention has two control modes, which enable it to have a more complete human-computer interaction function, namely, a follow-up motion mode and an independent motion mode. Following motion mode: the arm electromyography sensor 5-4 identifies the motion posture of the human arm, and then controls each motor to make the robot arm 2 move to the same posture as the human arm; Independent control mode: the wireless control handle 5-5 is used to control different postures of the robot arm 2. The present invention also performs closed-loop control through motion supplementation to improve motion accuracy.
[0069] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present invention, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present invention through the above description. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
