Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil mechanical parameters, and in particular to a mobile detection device and method with a soil parameter online identification function. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, humanity's exploration of nature and the expansion of its living environments are increasingly demanding higher performance from vehicles. Faced with various complex road environments, vehicle ground handling performance is facing enormous challenges. Ground mechanics is the study of the interaction between various off-road vehicles and the soil during operation. Studying ground mechanics is crucial for improving vehicle structure and enhancing off-road maneuverability. In ground mechanics, the mechanical properties of soil include its compressive and shear properties. The compressive properties of soil refer to the relationship between the vertical deformation of the ground and the resulting normal stress. Furthermore, the maximum traction that can be generated by mechanical equipment traveling on the ground is limited by the soil's tangential shear strength. Therefore, the soil's shear properties are the most important characteristic affecting the ground handling performance of moving machinery, such as automobiles. Therefore, obtaining and analyzing these two mechanical properties of soil can improve vehicle structural design and control, thereby enhancing ground handling performance.
[0003] The Bayesian instrument is the most commonly used tool for measuring these properties. It measures the normal stress on the pressure plate under a certain subsidence to determine soil compressive properties, and the shear force under a certain subsidence to determine soil shear properties. While the Bayesian instrument boasts a simple structure and ease of operation, off-road vehicles operate in complex and variable environments, and soil conditions in the same area can vary significantly. Traditional Bayesian instruments struggle to quickly and in real time obtain information on soil mechanical properties.
[0004] In the prior art, CN104527322A discloses a planetary rover wheel that integrates a six-dimensional force / torque testing function, which is used to detect the force / torque of the contact between the wheel and the soil during the movement of the planetary rover. CN111735703A discloses a portable Bayesian instrument for measuring the pressure-bearing and shear properties of soil. CN102109439B discloses a measuring instrument for measuring the pressure-bearing and shear properties of soil. Driven by a motor, the ball screw realizes linear motion and rotational motion respectively under the cooperation of the driving gear, the driven gear and the pressure-bearing shear joint, and can perform experimental measurements of the pressure-bearing properties, shear properties and cone index of soft soil. CN207336256U discloses a soil shear test tester that can comprehensively obtain the shear process and shear characteristic parameters of the soil sample, such as cohesion, internal friction angle, shear deformation modulus, etc., and realize the automation of the shear process and data recording.
[0005] However, the above patent still has many deficiencies in practical application: only the force / torque information of the interaction between the wheel and the soil during movement is obtained, which cannot well identify the mechanical property parameters of the soil; the portable Bayesian instrument is a fixed experimental platform with a relatively fixed experimental environment, which cannot meet the actual needs of online detection; the measurement method adopted in the above patent relies on the measurement principle of the traditional Bayesian instrument, and whether the soil mechanical property parameters measured by it are applicable to wheeled vehicles remains to be discussed. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this section is to summarize some aspects of the embodiments of the present invention and briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Some simplifications or omissions may be made in this section and the abstract and title of this application to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract and the title of the invention, and such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is proposed.
[0008] Therefore, the technical problem solved by the present invention is: using a robotic arm as a deployment tool and a wheel force acquisition system as a device for measuring soil mechanical properties deployed on a mobile terminal to achieve online identification of soil mechanical parameters.
[0009] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a mobile detection device with a soil parameter online identification function, comprising:

The axle is installed on the bearings on both sides through interference fit, and the bearings on both sides are installed on the brackets on both sides through interference fit. A slip ring is installed on the left side of the bracket to supply power to the entire wheel force collection system, and a torque control system is installed on the right side to provide torque for the wheel force collection system in the measurement of soil shear characteristics. The brackets on both sides are connected to the top cover plate through angle pieces, and the three are fixed with threads. The end flange of the robotic arm is installed on the top cover plate;
[0012] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection device with soil parameter online identification function described in the present invention, the torque control system is composed of a servo motor and a reduction gear, wherein the servo motor is fixed to the bracket by a threaded connection, the small gear in the reduction gear is installed on the output end of the servo motor, and the large gear is installed on the wheel axle, and the two are connected by a flat key, and the transmission system as a whole is sealed on the bracket by a torque control system cover, and the circuit board is installed on the inner side of the bracket and fixed on the inner ring of the multi-dimensional force sensor elastomer by a threaded connection, and a left window cover and a right cover are respectively installed between the multi-dimensional force sensor elastomer and the two side brackets, and the cover is connected to the outer ring of the elastomer by a thread to protect the circuit board;
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the mobile detection device with online soil parameter identification function described in the present invention, the subsidence detection system is composed of a camera bracket and a subsidence detection camera. The camera bracket is mounted on the flange at the end of the robotic arm and fastened by threads. The subsidence detection camera is fixed to the end of the camera bracket by a threaded connection. The subsidence detection camera has a field of view facing the elastic body of the multi-dimensional force sensor serving as the main body of the wheel force collection system. During the experiment, subsidence images are collected, and the amount of subsidence of the wheel force collection system is output after image processing.
[0014] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection device with online soil parameter identification function described in the present invention, the robotic arm system controls the movement of the wheels and provides normal pressure for soil property measurement. The wheel force collection system can measure the bearing properties of the soil by measuring the normal force and normal settlement, and can measure the shear properties of the soil by measuring the shear stress, normal force and tangential displacement. The robotic arm and the wheel force collection system body are connected through the flange at the end of the robotic arm.
[0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide a mobile detection method with an online soil parameter identification function. The method can use a wheel force acquisition system, a wheeled structure as a detection carrier, and a more advanced robotic arm as a deployment tool, thereby broadening the use scenarios of the method as a soil mechanical parameter testing tool, simplifying the experimental process, and realizing full automation and onlineization of the experimental process, so that soil mechanical testing is no longer limited to laboratories and fixed environments.
[0016] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function, comprising:
[0017] Before the test, the base of the manipulator 1 was mounted on a mobile platform. The manipulator controller controlled the end of the manipulator to arrange the wheel force collection system in a vertical position on the terrain. When performing mobile detection, the manipulator controller maintained contact with the terrain at all times through force feedback from the wheel force collection system 2.
[0018] When measuring soil bearing characteristics, the robotic arm 1 applies normal pressure to the wheel force acquisition system 2, pressing the multi-dimensional force sensor elastic body 4 into the soil. The multi-dimensional force sensor collects and outputs the force conditions of the wheel force acquisition system in real time. The subsidence detection camera 11 maintains the same sampling rate to collect subsidence data. When the pressure increases and the subsidence stops increasing, the robotic arm stops driving.
[0019] The collected data is stored by the host computer and the bearing capacity of the soil is obtained. When the shear properties of the soil need to be measured, the robotic arm 1 presses the wheel force collection system 2 into the soil, the multi-dimensional force sensor outputs normal force data, and the subsidence detection camera 11 outputs the subsidence image, which is processed by the host computer to obtain the subsidence data. Then the servo drive system drives the wheel axle 14 to rotate, and the torque control system 5 outputs the angular displacement of the elastic body 4 of the multi-dimensional force sensor. At the same time, the multi-dimensional force sensor outputs the torque data under the corresponding angular displacement. When the pressure increases and the subsidence remains stable, the drive is stopped, and the host computer processes the obtained data to obtain the shear characteristic parameters of the soil.
[0020] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function described in the present invention, the wheel force acquisition system includes:
[0021] The robotic arm is extended forward to place the wheel force collection system in contact with the soil. When the host computer detects the force feedback from the multi-dimensional force sensor, the wheel and soil are in contact. At the same time, the end of the robotic arm is kept perpendicular to the soil topography to collect subsidence data.
[0022] The acquisition of the subsidence data includes acquiring the subsidence image of the wheel force acquisition system in real time with a subsidence detection camera during the experiment and outputting it to a host computer for processing;
[0023] Perform perspective transformation on the collected image. Since the camera phase plane and the wheel plane always remain relatively stationary during the movement of the wheel force acquisition system, the image is transformed using a pre-calibrated perspective transformation matrix.
[0024] The perspective-transformed image is processed using the Canny edge detection algorithm to obtain a binary image of the wheel-soil boundary. The binary image is converted into a two-dimensional coordinate point set and a least squares fit is performed. The straight line obtained by fitting is used as the equivalent straight line of the wheel-soil boundary.
[0025] Perform Hough circle detection on the perspective transformed image to obtain the pixel coordinates (x0, y0) of the center of the wheel circle and the pixel coordinates r of the wheel radius p ;
[0026] The obtained wheel-soil interaction boundary equivalent line and the wheel center pixel coordinates are used to calculate the pixel distance from the wheel center to the fitting line according to the point-to-line distance formula to obtain the settlement value.
[0027] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function described in the present invention, the perspective transformation is expressed as:
[0028]
[0029] in, Indicates the source and target points; Represents the target point after transformation; Represents the perspective transformation matrix, which is calculated based on the formula using the pixel coordinates of four points on the original image and the corresponding four-point coordinates on the target image as the basis;
[0030] The numerical value of the subsidence is expressed as:
[0031]
[0032] Among them, z represents the amount of subsidence, r p Indicates the pixel coordinate of the wheel radius, l p It represents the pixel distance from the wheel center to the fitting line, and r represents the actual radius of the wheel.
[0033] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function of the present invention, the soil bearing characteristics measurement includes:
[0034] Keep the end of the robotic arm in a constant posture and control the wheel force collection system to press into the soil;
[0035] Collect pressure settlement data, continuously increase the normal force output of the robotic arm, press the wheel force collection system downward into the soil, and simultaneously record the normal force output data of the wheel force collection system. During this process, the settlement detection camera records the settlement image of the wheel force collection system at the same sampling rate as the wheel force collection system. The host computer calculates the settlement amount of the wheel force collection system and stops recording data until the normal pressure increases but the settlement amount no longer increases.
[0036] The pressure settlement model is used to calculate the bearing characteristic parameters of the soil. The saved concentrated normal force p and the corresponding settlement data z are input, and the function is solved using a nonlinear solver. The resulting vector It is the bearing characteristic parameter of the current soil.
[0037] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function of the present invention, the pressure subsidence model is expressed as:
[0038] p(z)=k eq z n (a0+a1z+a2z2 ) m +p0
[0039] Where p represents the concentrated normal force, constants n and k eq are the pressure sinking index and equivalent parameter, respectively; a0, a1, and a2 are model fitting constants; z represents the sinking amount; p0 represents the deviation; and m represents the wheel area tracking index;
[0040] To identify the parameters, the general minimization problem is formulated as:

[0042] where the vector of identified parameters is given by Indicates that the vector y represents the measured value of the concentrated normal force p and the sinking amount z measured through the experiment, Representation parameters and the model function of the controlled input z, and introduces a weighting factor w to avoid function divergence.
[0043] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function described in the present invention, the shear characteristic parameters of the soil include:
[0044] Similar to the measurement of soil bearing characteristic parameters, the wheel force sensor is pressed into the soil while keeping the end of the robotic arm in a constant posture.
[0045] Shear displacement data collection: When the subsidence no longer increases under a certain normal pressure, the torque control system is activated to shear the soil. When the soil undergoes shear displacement, the concentrated normal force p perpendicular to the sheared soil, the soil shear force τ measured by the multi-dimensional force sensor, and the wheel force acquisition system angle α output by the torque control system are recorded and aggregated to the host computer to complete data collection;
[0046] The soil shear displacement model is used to calculate the shear characteristic parameters of the soil. The shear characteristic parameter calculation is as follows: the saved concentrated normal force p, soil shear force τ data and wheel force acquisition system angle α data are input, and the function is solved using a nonlinear solver. The vector obtained is It is the shear characteristic parameter of the current soil.
[0047] As a preferred solution of the mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function described in the present invention, the shear displacement model is expressed as:
[0048]
[0049] Where τ represents the soil shear force, j represents the shear displacement, K represents the soil shear deformation modulus, c represents the soil cohesion, and p represents the concentrated normal force. represents the friction coefficient between soil particles;
[0050] The soil shear displacement is expressed as:
[0051]
[0052] Among them, α represents the rotation angle of the wheel force collection system, and r represents the radius of the wheel force collection system;
[0053] To identify the parameters, the general minimization problem is formulated as:

[0058] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The mobile detection device with online soil parameter identification function provided by the present invention uses a robotic arm to control the movement mode and force condition of the wheel force acquisition system, which simplifies the mechanism while improving the applicability of the equipment to the environment. The posture of the robotic arm can be adjusted according to actual conditions to adapt to different experimental terrain scenes. The use of a wheeled structure as a measurement carrier is more in line with the interaction between the equipment and the soil under actual conditions, and the resulting data results are theoretically more rigorous and effective. In order to measure the bearing characteristics of soil and the shear characteristics of soil, two different working modes are designed. Compared with traditional measurement equipment, the experimental process is simplified and the experimental efficiency is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the mobile detection device with the function of online identification of soil parameters includes a wheel force acquisition system, a subsidence detection system and a robotic arm system.
[0085] The robotic arm system 1 controls wheel motion and provides normal pressure for soil property measurement. The wheel force acquisition system 2 measures soil compressive properties by measuring normal force and normal settlement, and soil shear properties by measuring shear stress, normal force, and tangential displacement. The robotic arm 1 and the settlement acquisition system 2 are connected via a flange 6 at the end of the robotic arm.
[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, the subsidence collection system 2 comprises a multi-dimensional force sensor elastomer 4, which is connected to the wheel axle 14 via a flat key.

[0089] Example 2
[0090] Reference Figure 5-6 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a mobile detection method with online soil parameter identification function, including:
[0091] Before the test, the base of robotic arm 1 was mounted on a mobile platform. The robotic arm controller controlled the distal end of the robotic arm to position the wheel force collection system perpendicular to the terrain. During mobile detection, the robotic arm controller maintained constant contact with the terrain through force feedback from wheel force collection system 2. When measuring soil pressure characteristics, robotic arm 1 applied normal pressure to wheel force collection system 2, pressing the multi-dimensional force sensor elastomer 4 into the soil. The multi-dimensional force sensor collected and output the force conditions of the wheel force collection system in real time. The subsidence detection camera 11 maintained a constant sampling rate to collect subsidence data. When the pressure increased and subsidence stopped, the robotic arm stopped driving. The collected data was stored by the host computer and the soil pressure characteristics were calculated. When measuring soil shear properties, robotic arm 1 presses wheel force acquisition system 2 into the soil. The multi-dimensional force sensor outputs normal force data, and subsidence detection camera 11 generates subsidence images, which are processed by a host computer to obtain subsidence data. The servo drive system then rotates wheel axle 14, and torque control system 5 outputs the angular displacement of elastic body 4 from the multi-dimensional force sensor. Simultaneously, the multi-dimensional force sensor generates torque data corresponding to this angular displacement. Drive is stopped when pressure increases and subsidence remains stable. The host computer processes this data to derive soil shear property parameters.
[0092] like Figure 5 As described above, step one: arranging the wheel force collection system: the robotic arm is extended forward to arrange the wheel force collection system to contact the soil. When the host computer detects the force feedback of the multi-dimensional force sensor, that is, when the wheel and soil are in contact, the end of the robotic arm is kept perpendicular to the soil terrain.
[0093] Step 2: Acquisition of subsidence amount: During the experiment, the subsidence detection camera acquires the subsidence image of the wheel force acquisition system in real time and outputs it to the host computer for processing.
[0094] Step 2.1: Perspective transformation of the sunken image: Perform perspective transformation on the captured image. Since the camera phase plane and the wheel plane always remain relatively stationary during the movement of the wheel force acquisition system, the image is transformed using a pre-calibrated perspective transformation matrix. The principle of perspective transformation is as follows:
[0095]
[0096] in, Indicates the source and target points; Represents the target point after transformation; Represents the perspective transformation matrix, which is calculated based on the formula using the pixel coordinates of four points on the original image and the corresponding four point coordinates on the target image.
[0097] Step 2.2: Wheel-soil interaction edge detection: Use the Canny edge detection algorithm to process the perspective transformed image to obtain a binary image of the wheel-soil interface, and convert the binary image into a two-dimensional coordinate point set for further processing.
[0098] Step 2.3: Fitting the wheel-soil interaction boundary: Perform least squares fitting on the above two-dimensional coordinate point set of the image, and use the straight line obtained by fitting as the equivalent straight line of the wheel-soil interaction boundary:
[0099] l=k·x+b
[0100] Step 2.4: Hough circle detection: Perform Hough circle detection on the perspective transformed image to obtain the pixel coordinates of the wheel center (x0, y0) and the pixel coordinates of the wheel radius r p ;
[0101] like Figure 6 As mentioned above, step 2.5 settlement calculation: the equivalent straight line of the wheel-soil interaction boundary and the pixel coordinates of the wheel center obtained in the above steps are used to calculate the pixel distance l from the wheel center to the fitting straight line according to the distance formula from the point to the straight line. p Since the actual radius of the wheel force collection system is known, the settlement value is calculated and expressed as:
[0102]
[0103] Among them, z represents the amount of subsidence, r p Indicates the pixel coordinate of the wheel radius, l p It represents the pixel distance from the wheel center to the fitting line, and r represents the actual radius of the wheel.
[0104] Step 3: Measure the soil bearing characteristic parameters, keep the posture of the end of the robotic arm unchanged, and control the wheel force collection system to press into the soil.
[0105] Step 3.1: Pressure and Subsidence Data Collection: Continuously increase the normal force output of the robotic arm, pressing the wheel force collection system downward into the soil while simultaneously recording the normal force output data of the wheel force collection system. During this process, the subsidence detection camera records the subsidence image of the wheel force collection system at the same sampling rate as the wheel force collection system. The host computer calculates the amount of subsidence of the wheel force collection system according to Step 2 above. Data recording ceases when the normal pressure increases but the subsidence stops.
[0106] Step 3.2: Calculate the soil bearing capacity parameters using the pressure-settlement model: The pressure-settlement model is expressed as:
[0107] p(z)=k eq z n (a0+a1z+a2z 2 ) m +p0
