The symmetry axes of the first triangular structure 311 and the second triangular structure 312 are perpendicular to the planes of the upper platform 100 and the lower platform 200. Similarly, the bottom sides of the third triangular structure 321 and the fourth triangular structure 322 are respectively aligned and connected to the other opposite sides of the lower platform 200 and the upper platform 100. The symmetry axes of the third triangular structure 321 and the fourth triangular structure 322 are perpendicular to the planes of the upper platform 100 and the lower platform 200.

[0056] Optionally, a second driver 602 and a third driver 603 are arranged at the top of the first triangular structure 311, and a first Hooke's joint 401 is arranged at the top of the second triangular structure 312. The second driver 602 and the third driver 603 are both connected to the first Hooke's joint 401 to control different rotation directions. A second Hooke's joint 402 is arranged at the top of the third triangular structure 321, and a sixth driver 606 and a seventh driver 607 are arranged at the top of the fourth triangular structure 322. The sixth driver 606 and the seventh driver 607 are both connected to the second Hooke's joint 402 to control different rotation directions.

[0057] Furthermore, a first driver 601 is arranged at the bottom side of the first triangular structure 311, and a first rotating pair 501 is arranged at the corresponding position on the side of the upper platform 100. The first driver 601 is connected to the first rotating pair 501. An eighth driver 608 is arranged at the bottom side of the fourth triangular structure 322, and a fourth rotating pair 504 is arranged at the corresponding position on the side of the upper platform 100. The eighth driver 608 is connected to the fourth rotating pair 504.

[0058] Even further, a fourth driver 604 is arranged at the bottom side of the second triangular structure 312, and a second rotating pair 502 is arranged at the corresponding position on the side of the lower platform 200.

The fifth driver 605 is connected to the third rotating pair 503.

[0059] The eight drivers in this embodiment can cooperate to achieve the rotation directions and angles of the upper platform 100, the lower platform 200 and the four triangular structures, and change the pose of the upper platform 100 and / or the lower platform 200.

[0060] The symmetric multi-manipulation mode movable parallel mechanism in this embodiment includes a triangular mode, a quadrilateral mode, a compression mode and a hexagonal rolling mode. Each of its working forms is as follows:

[0061] ReferenceFigure 2 , for the movable parallel mechanism with symmetric multi-control modes in this embodiment, in the triangular mode, the lower platform 200 is fixed, the second triangular structure 312 and the third triangular structure can be locked, and the third driver 603 and the seventh driver 607 drive the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure to rotate, driving the upper platform 100 to tilt and changing the pose of the upper platform 100.

[0062] Specifically, in the triangular mode, it can act as a similar loading machine. The initial state is Figure 1 the original state of the mechanism shown. The upper platform 100 can receive materials. After being driven by the third driver 603 and the seventh driver 607, the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure rotate to one side simultaneously, driving the upper platform 100 to tilt, and dumping the materials transported by the upper platform 100 to the side of the mechanism, which can be connected to other transport chains for application and play the role of material transfer.

[0063] Refer to Figures 3 - 5 , for the movable parallel mechanism with symmetric multi-control modes in this embodiment, in the quadrilateral mode, the lower platform 200 can be fixed on the planes of different environments. By driving the second driver 602, the fourth driver 604, the fifth driver 605, and the sixth driver 606, the first triangular structure 311, the second triangular structure 312, the third triangular structure 321, and the fourth triangular structure rotate at different angles in different environments, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, and through their mutual cooperation, the upper platform 100 can be driven to rotate, changing the pose of the upper platform 100 to achieve different applications. Specifically, the following will introduce three specific working modes of the quadrilateral mode respectively:

[0064] As Figure 3 in the first mode shown in, the initial state is Figure 1 the original state of the mechanism shown. The upper platform 100 can receive materials. The lower platform 200 is fixed horizontally. The second triangular structure 312 and the third triangular structure are vertically arranged and locked with the lower platform 200. By driving the second driver 602 and the sixth driver 606, the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure rotate to one side simultaneously, driving the upper platform 100 to move and keeping the upper platform 100 always horizontal, transporting the materials transported by the upper platform 100 horizontally to the side of the mechanism, which can be connected to other transport chains for application and play the role of material transfer.

[0065] As Figure 4 in the second mode shown in, the initial state is Figure 1In the original state of the mechanism shown, the upper platform 100 can receive materials, fix the lower platform 200 horizontally, drive the fourth driver 604 and the fifth driver 605 to rotate the second triangular structure 312 and the third triangular structure to one side simultaneously, drive the second driver 602 and the sixth driver 606 to rotate the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure to one side simultaneously, drive the upper platform 100 to move, and keep the upper platform 100 always horizontal. At this time, the mechanism can play the role of horizontal and height-reducing transportation, can be connected to other transportation chains for application, transport the materials transported by the upper platform 100 to the corresponding positions, and play the role of material transfer.

[0066] As Figure 5 In the third mode shown, at this time the mechanism can be applied in other complex environments, such as the inclined environment in the figure. Fix the lower platform 200 on the inclined environment plane. By driving the second driver 602 and the sixth driver 606, the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure can be rotated to one side simultaneously, driving the upper platform 100 to move, keeping the upper platform 100 horizontal to receive materials. Then, according to the corresponding requirements of the environment, drive the second driver 602, the fourth driver 604, the fifth driver 605 and the sixth driver 606 to rotate the corresponding triangular structures, drive the upper platform 100 to move, can be connected to other transportation chains for application, transport the materials transported by the upper platform 100 to the corresponding positions, and play the role of material transfer.

[0067] Refer to Figure 6 For the symmetric multi-control mode movable parallel mechanism of this embodiment, in the compression mode, the lower platform 200 is horizontally arranged and fixed. Drive the fourth driver 604 and the fifth driver 605 to rotate the second triangular structure 312 and the third triangular structure in opposite directions. Drive the first driver 601 and the eighth driver 608 to rotate the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure in opposite directions, so that the upper platform 100 always remains horizontal and descends.

[0068] Specifically, in the compression mode, the initial state is Figure 1 the original state of the mechanism shown. The upper platform 100 can receive materials, drive the fourth driver 604 and the fifth driver 605 to rotate the second triangular structure 312 and the third triangular structure in opposite directions, drive the first driver 601 and the eighth driver 608 to rotate the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure in opposite directions, so that the upper platform 100 always remains horizontal and descends, and stably transport the materials on the upper platform 100 to a lower place; conversely, the stretching mode is the same. The initial state is Figure 6In the original state of the mechanism shown, the upper platform 100 can receive materials, drive the fourth driver 604 and the fifth driver 605 to make the second triangular structure 312 and the third triangular structure rotate in opposite directions, drive the first driver 601 and the eighth driver 608 to make the first triangular structure 311 and the fourth triangular structure rotate in opposite directions, keep the upper platform 100 always horizontal and rising, stably transfer the materials on the upper platform 100 to a higher place, the mechanism plays a role in stable transfer, and at the same time, the mechanism is relatively space-saving in the compression mode.

[0069] Reference Figure 7 , for the symmetric multi-manipulation mode mobile parallel mechanism of this embodiment, in the hexagonal rolling mode, the upper platform 100, the lower platform 200 and the first triangular structure 311, the second triangular structure 312, the third triangular structure 321 and the fourth triangular structure form a hexagon, and the mechanism is driven to roll hexagonally by driving the first driver 601, the second driver 602, the fourth driver 604, the fifth driver 605, the sixth driver 606 and the eighth driver 608.

[0070] Specifically, in the hexagonal rolling mode, the initial state is Figure 7 the original state of the mechanism shown in the first figure in, initially the lower platform 200 of the mechanism contacts the ground, by driving the fifth servo, locking the other servos, making the third triangular structure rotate, driving the upper and lower platforms 200 of the mechanism and the other triangular structures to rotate, making the overall center of gravity of the mechanism shift, when it shifts to a certain position, the whole mechanism tilts, that is, the hexagonal rolling of the mechanism is realized, reaching Figure 7 the position of the second figure in, that is, the state where the third triangular structure contacts the ground; then as the fourth triangular structure, the upper platform 100, the first triangular structure, and the second triangular structure of the mechanism contact the ground in sequence, drive the sixth, eighth, first, second, and fourth servos respectively, lock the other servos, and the rotation principle of the mechanism is the same, realizing the entire hexagonal rolling process as shown in Figure 7 . When the lower platform 200 contacts the ground again, the mechanism realizes a cycle of rolling.

[0074] (3) This application can achieve different applications according to different poses of the mechanism. The upper platform 100 can be rotated laterally to receive items and dumped on other adjacent platforms through the triangular mode; the items on the upper platform 100 can be transported to any low-position and side-direction platforms through the quadrilateral mode. Also, through the quadrilateral mode, in special environments such as tilting, the upper platform 100 can maintain horizontal poses to transport items; through the hexagonal rolling mode, the mechanism can be moved to facilitate the movement and transportation of the mechanism; through the compression and extension mode, the items on the upper platform 100 can be transported up and down, and it can be controlled to be in a compressed form when retracted to save space; the overall application prospect of the mechanism is good.

[0075] (4) The special configuration of the mechanism of this application and the connection method between the rods enable the mechanism to easily meet the requirement of rolling and can achieve the conversion of the mechanism pose through simple operations.

[0076] (5) The components of the mechanism of this application can combine the quadrilateral mode and the triangular mode through a driver to achieve free transmission at multiple angles.

[0077] (6) The mechanism of this application can realize the functions of adjusting the poses and moving of the mechanism in multiple different ways with a relatively simple control method, and has good stability and load-bearing capacity.
