Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bionic climbing robot, in particular to a gecko-like robot with a bionic spine, belonging to the technical field of climbing robots. Background Art

[0002] Wall-climbing robots are controllable mobile platform systems capable of moving freely on the ground, walls, or ceilings. They are an important branch of special robots. They are in widespread and urgent demand in industries such as public and national security, confined space inspection, and urban appearance services. Currently, most wall-climbing robots have rigid trunks, which limit their flexibility, stability, and free movement trajectory and turning ability. They fail to achieve the desired free and unobstructed movement. This is mainly manifested in low climbing speeds, large turning radii resulting in poor flexibility, high energy consumption, poor movement stability, and poor environmental adaptability. They also have difficulty climbing on slopes greater than 90° and are unable to climb on ceilings. The main reason for this is the incomplete research on the robot's motion behavior and mechanical mechanisms, which limits further improvement in the robot's overall performance.

[0003] Currently, there is limited research and theoretical progress on bionic robots with flexible trunks and spinal joints, both domestically and internationally. Internationally, the Salamandra series of robots, developed by the Swiss Ijspeert team, features a flexible spine in its trunk. By varying the phase relationship between the trunk and limbs, the robots achieve varying speeds and turning trajectories. However, these robots are only suitable for amphibious environments and cannot climb vertical walls. The RISE V3 quadrupedal wall-climbing robot, developed in the United States, has a pitch degree of freedom in its trunk to adjust its posture during climbing, but it cannot turn on vertical walls. In China, the gecko-like robot developed by the Bionics Institute of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics features three waist joints and utilizes CPG control and adaptive force-position hybrid control methods. It can climb slopes, but the control is relatively complex. Therefore, bionic robots with flexible spines developed by various countries either struggle to achieve vertical wall climbing or have limited trunk degrees of freedom, making it difficult to achieve stability and flexibility while climbing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] The structure of the gecko-like robot with a bionic spine according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the gecko-like robot with a bionic spine in this embodiment includes a shoulder girdle joint module 1, a pelvic girdle joint module 4, a bionic spine 3, a limb module 2, and a drive control module 6. The drive control module 6 is mounted on a pelvic girdle support frame 403. The rear end of the pelvic girdle support frame 403 is provided with a tail 5 extending forward and backward, which is fixed to the pelvic girdle joint module 4 using screws and nuts.

[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the shoulder strap joint module 1 includes a shoulder strap frame 104, a shoulder strap support frame 101 and a shoulder strap joint servo 102. The shoulder strap support frame 101 is hinged to the shoulder strap frame 104. The shoulder strap support frame 101 is fixedly connected to a shoulder strap servo fixing seat 105 located above the shoulder strap frame 104. The shoulder strap joint servo 102 is fixed on the shoulder strap servo fixing seat 105. A driving gear 103 is connected to the output end of the shoulder strap joint servo 102. The shoulder strap frame 104 is provided with a driven gear meshing with the driving gear 103. The driven gear is fixed on the hinge shaft between the shoulder strap frame 104 and the shoulder strap support frame 101. The shoulder strap joint servo 102 is used to drive the shoulder strap frame 104 to rotate. When the gecko-like robot's shoulder moves, the shoulder joint servo 102 controls the driving gear 103 to rotate, and the driving gear 103 drives the driven gear to rotate. When the driven gear rotates, it drives the shoulder strap frame 104 to rotate. The shoulder movement realizes the steering of the gecko-like robot.

The pelvic belt frame 405, the ball head pull rod 402 and the two pull rods 401 form a frame-type connecting rod structure. The ball head pull rod 402 is fixed with a pelvic belt support frame 403, and the pelvic belt joint servo 404 is installed on the pelvic belt support frame 403. The output end of the pelvic belt joint servo 404 is connected to the middle part of the ball head pull rod 402 to drive the pelvic belt frame 405 to rotate. When the pelvic girdle of the gecko-like robot moves, the pelvic girdle joint servo 404 drives the ball-end pull rod to rotate. When the ball-end pull rod rotates, it drives the pull rods at both ends to move. The movement of the two pull rods causes the pelvic girdle to rotate, thereby simulating the pelvic movement of the gecko. The movement of the pelvis cooperates with the steering of the gecko-like robot.

[0029] like Figure 6As shown, the bionic spine 3 is connected between the shoulder strap joint module 1 and the pelvic strap joint module 4. The bionic spine 3 includes a rigid linear guide mechanism and a flexible spinal joint mechanism.

The fixing frame 7 rotates under the drive of the first spinal joint servo 301, and at the same time drives the shoulder strap servo fixing seat 105 and the shoulder strap support frame 101 to rotate. The shoulder strap servo fixing seat 105 and the shoulder strap support frame 101 simulate the head of a gecko, and the swing of the robot's head is realized through the first spinal joint servo 301. When the head swings, in order to prevent the shoulder strap frame 104 from following the movement of the driving gear 103, the shoulder strap joint servo 102 can be used to drive the driving gear in the opposite direction to achieve fine-tuning of the shoulder strap frame.
