Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile robots, in particular to an all-terrain mobile robot with a double wishbone type vibration-damping suspension. Background Art

[0002] Four-wheel differential sliding steering all-terrain independent suspension mobile robots have the advantages of simple and reliable structure, flexible and stable operation, wide terrain adaptability, and simple control. Although four-wheel differential all-terrain mobile robots with excellent performance have been developed, there are still some key issues that need to be solved.

[0003] 1. If the all-terrain mobile robot adopts four-wheel differential sliding steering, the steering drive torque is large, and the reduction ratio of the transmission device required is too large;

[0004] 2. It is difficult to drag the machine when it breaks down during outdoor operation, making it difficult to repair;

[0005] 3. Most existing mobile robots have wheels that are rigidly connected to the drive, which is not conducive to drive output and control. Due to the insufficient matching adaptability between the mobile robot's suspension and the body, and the lack of a torque self-balancing distribution mechanism, the output drive torque of the mobile robot's wheels is unbalanced, causing large body vibration, affecting the smoothness of the mobile robot's walking, as well as the sensor measurement accuracy and load capacity.

[0006] For example, the Chinese patent application No. 201711258906.3 proposes a double-triangle suspension wheel-leg all-terrain mobile robot with excellent obstacle crossing, driving smoothness, and active / passive posture adjustment functions. However, it uses hub motors as drive wheels, which have small torque and poor load capacity. The steering uses a steering motor, which increases the weight and energy consumption of the mobile robot and reduces its endurance. At the same time, the number of motors in the mobile robot increases, and the control difficulty increases.

[0007] For example, Chinese patent application number 201811301142.6 proposes an all-terrain mobile robot with an active independent suspension system, which has excellent obstacle crossing performance, active posture adjustment function, differential steering function and excellent dynamic driving smoothness. Its drive is rigidly directly connected to the wheels, lacks a torque distribution mechanism, and uses a hub motor as the drive motor. Although it solves the problem of excessive reduction ratio, its torque output is relatively small.

[0008] For example, the Chinese patent application number 201911096192.X proposes an all-terrain mobile robot with the characteristics of good balance, high mobility efficiency, good flexibility, and a wide range of applications. However, it uses a worm gear motor as a drive motor and is directly connected to the wheels. The motor's working environment is relatively poor, the power transmission efficiency is low, and a single longitudinal arm suspension is used. The suspension method is not well matched with the vehicle body, and the driving smoothness is limited. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a double wishbone vibration-damping suspension all-terrain mobile robot comprises:

[0043] Truss body module 1;

[0044] Adjustable double wishbone damping suspension modules 2 are distributed in pairs on both sides of the truss body module 1 to enhance the body strength and stability of the mobile robot and adapt to walking in various terrain conditions;

[0045] The driving and shifting module 3 is installed on the truss body module 1 and can switch its own power to complete the switching between the driving state and the neutral sliding state of the mobile robot;

[0046] a torque self-balancing distribution module 4, carried on the truss body module 1 and configured to cooperate with the same set of adjustable double wishbone damping suspension modules 2 on both sides of the truss body module 1 to optimize the distribution of the mobile robot's four-wheel drive torque to suppress the body roll during steering;

[0047] The underlying motion control system module 5 is carried on the truss body module 1 and cooperates with the adjustable double wishbone vibration damping suspension module 2, the drive shift module 3, and the torque self-balancing distribution module 4 to realize the autonomous navigation and smooth walking of the mobile robot and the loading and control of external working tools.

[0048] The torque self-balancing distribution module 4 is used to optimize the distribution of the torque of the mobile robot's four-wheel drive, effectively suppress the vibration caused by body roll and road excitation during steering, improve the load capacity under steering and rotation conditions, and enhance off-road performance.

By controlling the damping parameters of the controllable hydraulic damper, the stiffness of the torque self-balancing distribution module 4 is adjusted, and the thrust of the torsion bar on the shock-absorbing swing arm is increased to increase the positive pressure of the wheel on the ground, thereby increasing the friction between the wheel and the ground. At the same time, the rebound speed of the wheel is accelerated, the torque difference between the two wheels is reduced, the torque distribution of the mobile robot's four-wheel drive is optimized, and the load capacity under steering and self-rotation conditions is improved. The body roll during steering is effectively suppressed, vibration is suppressed, and off-road performance is enhanced. In addition, the functionality is expanded through the underlying motion control system module, which reduces the difficulty of use for users and facilitates secondary development.

[0055] Specifically, in the present invention, the arm lengths of the upper U-shaped swing arm 206 and the lower U-shaped swing arm 204 are adjusted by rotating the adjustable swing arm hinge 202 to adjust the camber angle of the wheel to reduce the steering force of the mobile robot; the swing arm inclination angle is adjusted by adjusting the locking electric slide rail 210 to adjust the working angle of the universal joint 309 to ensure effective utilization of the output power.

An upper pulley shaft 301 is provided between the wheel electromagnetic clutch 308 and the hole output reducer 305.

[0059] Specifically, the power is transmitted to the hole output reducer 305 through the servo motor 306, and then to the pulley electromagnetic clutch 308. The pulley electromagnetic clutch 308 transmits the power to the lower pulley shaft 311 through the synchronous belt 304, and then transmits the power to the outer hub coupling 312 through the universal joint 309, and finally transmits it to the wheel; the clutch of the pulley electromagnetic clutch 308 is controlled to disconnect the power output, so as to realize the neutral walking of the mobile robot.

[0060] The batteries 521 are installed on both sides of the middle of the truss body 102 and inside the battery guardrail 107. The batteries 521 are directly connected to the servo motor 306 for power supply.

The flange bushing 403 is matched with the other end of the shock absorber upper support fixing seat 104.

[0065] Based on the above technology, when the wheel module is subjected to impact force from the ground, the wheel module will bounce up, reducing the pressure between the wheel module and the ground and reducing the friction.
