The second rotation axes 2290 of the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 are respectively rotatably connected to the ends of adjacent arm segments 1000; the other ends of the first linkage rope 1500 and the second linkage rope 1600 are both connected to adjacent arm segments 1000. The linkage adjustment structure 2000 can be installed in the arm segment 1000 of a conventional rope-driven segmented linkage manipulator. By adjusting the fixed positions of the first slider 2400 of the first adjustment structure and the second slider 2250 of the second adjustment structure on the linkage adjustment structure 2000, the length of the first linkage rope 1500 and the second linkage rope 1600 wrapped around the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 is changed when the arm segment 1000 is linked and bent. This can compensate for and reduce linkage errors in the pitch and yaw directions of the manipulator caused by friction and deformation of the linkage ropes, thereby improving the linkage accuracy within the segment of the linkage arm.

[0040] Reference Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 The arm segment 1000 includes at least two second articulated arms 1100, and a third universal joint 1200 is rotatably connected between each two second articulated arms 1100.

The second second articulated arm 1100 at the end of the arm segment 1000 is rotatably connected to the third universal joint 1200 along the first rotation axis 2290 (i.e., the rotation axis in the yaw direction of the arm manipulator) of the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600. The rotation axis 2282 (i.e., the rotation axis in the pitch direction of the arm manipulator) is rotatably connected to the third universal joint 1200. After the other end of the first linkage rope 1500 in the first adjustment structure passes through the first second joint arm 1100 of the arm segment 1000, the first linkage rope 1500 is wound in the opposite direction of the first rotation axis 2282 on the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600 (i.e., the first linkage rope 1500 is wound in the opposite direction of the first rotation axis 2282 on the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600). When winding in a clockwise direction, the first linkage rope 1500 is wound in a second clockwise direction along the first rotation axis 2282 on the third universal joint 1200, and the first clockwise direction and the second clockwise direction are opposite to each other) and then passes around the first rotation axis 2282 of the third universal joint 1200 and is fixedly connected to the second second joint arm 1100; the other end of the second linkage rope 1600 in the second adjustment structure passes through the first second universal joint 2600 at the end of the arm segment 1000, and then along the second linkage rope 1600 at the first universal joint 2200 or the second joint arm 1100. The second universal joint 2600 is wound in the opposite direction of the second rotation axis 2290 (i.e., when the second linkage rope 1600 is wound along the third clockwise direction of the second rotation axis 2290 on the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600, the second linkage rope 1600 is wound along the fourth clockwise direction of the second rotation axis 2290 on the third universal joint 1200, and the third clockwise direction and the fourth clockwise direction have opposite directions of rotation) and then passes around the second rotation axis 2290 of the third universal joint 1200 and is fixedly connected to the third universal joint 1200. Thus, the first linkage rope 1500 and the second linkage rope 1600 achieve equal-angle counter-rotating linkage between the first articulated arm 2100 in the linkage adjustment structure 2000 and the corresponding second articulated arm 1100 in the arm segment 1000.

[0041] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 15 The first rotation axis 2282 in the accompanying drawings is set as the A-axis, and the second rotation axis 2290 in the accompanying drawings is set as the B-axis, that is, when the arm segment 1000 swings along the pitch direction of the robotic arm, it swings along the rotation direction of the A-axis in the accompanying drawings, and when the arm segment 1000 swings along the yaw direction of the robotic arm, it swings along the rotation direction of the B-axis in the accompanying drawings.

[0042] In addition, the first rotation axis 2282 and the second rotation axis 2290 are only described with reference to the drawings in the specification of the embodiment of the present invention. In practice, the first rotation axis 2282 and the second rotation axis 2290 can be swapped.

There is a distance between the center of the first arc frame 2270 and the center point of the first universal joint 2200. A first rope winding groove 2271 is provided on the first arc frame 2270 along the axial direction of the second rotation axis 2290. That is, the first arc frame 2270 and the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600 on the first arc frame 2270 are eccentrically arranged to wind around the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600. 0 part of the first linkage rope 1500 is wound in the first rope winding groove 2271; a first adjustment groove 2112 is provided on the first articulated arm 2100 along the extension direction of the first rope winding groove 2271, and the first slider 2400 is displaced along the first adjustment groove 2112. Specifically, by adjusting the position of the first slider 2400 in the first adjustment groove 2112, the length of the first wheel linkage rope after it passes around the first universal joint 2200 can be controlled, thereby ensuring the equal-angle reverse linkage between the second articulated arm 1100 and the first articulated arm 2100 by compensating for the error of the linkage rope.

[0044] Reference Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 15 , third arc frames 1260 are also provided at both ends of the third universal joint 1200, the center of the third arc frame 1260 is the center point of the third universal joint 1200, the third arc frame 1260 at one end of the third universal joint 1200 close to the end of the arm segment 1000 is provided with a fourth rope winding groove 1261 along the first rotation axis 2282 of the universal joint, and the third arc frame 1260 at one end of the third universal joint 1200 away from the end of the arm segment 1000 is also provided with a fourth rope winding groove 1261 along the second rotation axis 2290 of the universal joint, and the fourth rope winding groove 1261 and the first rope winding groove 2271 coincide with each other along the second rotation axis 2290. Specifically, The first linkage rope 1500 of the first adjustment structure is wound in the first rope winding groove 2271 and the second rope winding groove 2231, so that the first linkage rope 1500 is wound in and released on the third universal joint 1200 and the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600), and the first linkage rope 1500 is wound in or released along a fixed angle, thereby preventing the first linkage rope 1500 from creeping on the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600) and the third universal joint 1200 due to changes in the winding angle, thereby affecting the reverse linkage constraint in the pitch direction of the first joint arm 2100 of the linkage adjustment structure 2000 and the second joint arm 1100 of the arm segment 1000.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 9 The first articulated arm 2100 includes: a disk 2110; a first rotating connection member, which is respectively provided at the first end and the second end of the disk 2110; wherein the first rotating shaft 2282 of the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 are respectively connected to the first rotating connection members at the first end and the second end of the disk 2110; the disk 2110 is provided with a first arc frame 2270 corresponding to the position of the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 along the direction of the first rope winding groove 2271.

At the same time, the first avoidance groove 2113 provided along the direction of the first rope winding groove 2271 on the first arc frame 2270 allows the first linkage rope 1500 to rotate around the first rotating connector of the disc 2110 within the range of the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600 and pass through the first avoidance groove 2113 without any obstacles, avoiding scratches and touches that cause the first linkage rope 1500 to stretch and affect the linkage accuracy. The first slider 2400 is provided with a first through-hole 2410 at the position corresponding to the first avoidance groove 2113. The end of the first linkage rope 1500 that bypasses the first rope winding groove 2271 passes through the first avoidance groove 2113 and the first through-hole 2410 and is fixed to the first slider 2400; the first slider 2400 is provided with a locking portion 2440 that is fixed to the disc 2110. Refer to Figure 6The cooperation between the first slider 2400 and the first adjustment groove 2112 on the side of the first avoidance groove 2113 limits the first slider 2400 to move only in the direction of the first adjustment groove 2112, thereby preventing the first slider 2400 from being displaced in other directions and affecting the adjustment of the first linkage rope 1500. The first adjustment groove 2112 is arranged along the direction of the first rope winding groove 2271, and the first arc frame 2270 and the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) are eccentrically designed. When the position of the first slider 2400 on the first adjustment groove 2112 is adjusted, the first linkage rope 1500 can be adjusted. The end is positioned at a fixed point on the first universal joint 2200, and the winding angle of the first linkage rope 1500 on the first arc frame 2270 is changed to adjust the transmission relationship of the first linkage rope 1500 between the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) and the third universal joint 1200 at the end of the arm segment 1000; and a plurality of locking holes are provided on the locking portion 2440 of the first slider 2400, and the locking holes of the two first sliders 2400 correspond to the two first adjustment grooves 2112 respectively, and the first slider 2400 and the disc 2110 can be locked by screwing the locking holes and the first adjustment grooves 2112 together.

J2 is the fixing point between the first link rope 1500 and the second second articulated arm 1100 at the end of the arm segment 1000 when the robotic arm has a certain rotation angle in the A-axis direction. When the robot arm rotates counterclockwise in the A-axis direction as shown in the figure, and will all change, while the lengths of DE, EF, FG, GH, and I1J1 remain constant.

[0051] Reference Figure 10 The structural principle diagram is as follows: when the supporting rib 2120 rotates with the disk 2110 around the A axis (rotation point O) of the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) pR ) During the first clockwise rotation θ, the tether point, which remains in a constant position relative to the support rib 2120, rotates from A1 to A2 by θ. Since the lengths of DE, EF, FG, GH, I1, and J1 remain constant and the total length of the first linkage rope 1500 remains unchanged, the tether end J1 of the second articulated arm 1100 at the end of the arm segment 1000 is pulled to J2, and I1 rotates along the second clockwise direction to I2. In the following description, R is assumed to be ⊙O pR The radius of a is O pR O pr The length of r is ⊙O pr The radius of R′ is ⊙O tR radius.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the support rib 2120 rotates around the A-axis direction of the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) as the active end, and the second second joint arm 1100 at the end of the arm segment 1000 rotates around the A-axis direction of the third universal joint 1200 between the first second joint arm 1100 at the end of the arm segment 1000 as the passive end. It should be noted that when the active end and the driven end are interchanged, the following principles and results are not affected. The angle at which the passive end is pulled when the active end moves θ is calculated according to the following steps and formulas.

[0053] ∠A1O pR D=arccos(OpR D / R)

[0054] ∠A1O pR O pr =180°-∠A1O pR D

[0055] ∠A2O pR O pr =180°-(θ+∠A1O pR D)

[0056]

[0057]

[0058]

[0059]

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] ∠B2A2O pR =∠B2A2O pr -∠O pR A2O pr

[0063]

[0064] ∠B2O pR D=180°-arccos((B2O pR 2 +a 2 -r 2 ) / (2×a×B2O pR ))

[0065] ∠B2O pr D=arccos((r 2 +a 2 -B2O pR 2 ) / (2×a×r))

[0066] ∠B2O pr B1=∠B2O pr D+∠DO pr B1

[0067] where ∠DO pr B1 is -∠DO calculated when θ=0° in the above process pr B2

[0068] ΔS1=A2B2-A1B1

[0069] ΔS2=(∠B2O pr B1 / 360)×2πr

[0070] ∠I2O tR I1=(ΔS1+ΔS2)×360° / (2πR′)

[0071] Therefore, when the support rib 2120 rotates around the A axis (rotation point O) of the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600), pR ) When the first clockwise rotation is θ, the second second joint arm 1100 at the end of the arm segment 1000 will rotate in the second clockwise direction around the axis of the third universal joint 1200A by ∠I2O tR I1, when taking θ for different values, it is found that within a certain range (θ∈(-20°,20°)), (ΔS1+ΔS2) and θ are approximately linearly related. At this time, let (ΔS1+ΔS2)=kθ, so ∠I2O tR I1=(k×360° / (2πR′))×θ, that is, ∠I2O tR I1 and θ are approximately linearly related. When (k×360° / (2πR′))=1, the movement on both sides is the same. When (k×360° / (2πR′))>1, ∠I2O tR I1>θ, the driven rotation is greater than the active rotation. When (k×360° / (2πR′))<1, ∠I2O tR I1<θ, the driven rotation is smaller than the active rotation, and k is related to factors such as R, r, a, and initial conditions. When the position of A1 is changed, R and the initial conditions will change, thereby changing k, and then changing the transmission relationship between the two shafts.

[0072] Utilizing the above principles, when appropriate R, r, a, R′, and initial conditions are designed, the value of (k×360° / (2πR′)) is maintained near 1. When the first slider 2400 is translated along the first adjustment slot 2112 on the disk 2110, the transmission relationship between the linkage adjustment structure 2000 and the arm segment 1000 in the pitch direction can be adjusted, thereby compensating for the effects of rope deformation, friction, and other factors on the movement of the two ends of the first linkage rope 1500, thereby compensating for linkage errors and improving the linkage accuracy of the structure between the two first rotation axes 2282.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 , with the disk 2110 as the symmetry plane, the first adjustment structures at both ends of the disk 2110 are exactly the same, that is, Figure 10The structural principle described above applies to both the left and right ends of the disk 2110. The outer sides of the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 are each provided with four mutually perpendicular first mounting surfaces 2210 along the ends of the first rotation axis 2282 and the second rotation axis 2290. The first linkage structure 2300 between the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 preferably includes a first sector tooth 2310 connected to the first mounting surface 2210 at the end of the first rotation axis 2282 of the first universal joint 2200, and a second sector tooth 2320 connected to the first mounting surface 2210 at the end of the second universal joint 2600 corresponding to the first rotation axis 2282. The first sector tooth 2310 and the second sector tooth 2320 are meshingly connected. Specifically, the first rotating shaft 2282 of the first universal joint 2200 and the second universal joint 2600 is transmitted through the first sector tooth 2310 and the second sector tooth 2320, that is, when the first universal joint 2200 rotates around its first rotating shaft 2282, it drives the first sector tooth 2310 to rotate, and the first sector tooth 2310 drives the second sector tooth 2320 engaged with it to rotate, so that the second sector tooth 2320 drives the second universal joint 2600 to rotate in opposite directions at equal angles along its first rotating shaft 2282.

[0074] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12The second adjustment structure also includes: a first boss 2230 provided on the first mounting surface 2210; a second rope winding groove 2231 formed on the outer periphery of the first boss 2230; an adjustment bracket 2240 provided on the first mounting surface 2210 corresponding to the end of the second rotating shaft 2290, a second adjustment groove 2241 is opened on the adjustment bracket 2240 in a direction perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 2290, the second slider 2250 is at least partially slidably engaged with the second adjustment groove 2241, and the second pulley 2260 is rotatably connected to the second slider 2250, the rotating axis of the second pulley 2260 is parallel to the second rotating shaft 2290, and the end of the second linkage rope 1600 passes around the second pulley 2260 and the second rope winding groove 2231 in sequence and is fixed to the first boss 2230. Specifically, the cooperation between the second adjusting slot 2241 and the second slider 2250 limits the second slider 2250 to move only in the direction of the second adjusting slot 2241, preventing the second slider 2250 from being displaced in other directions and affecting the adjustment of the second link rope 1600. The second adjusting slot 2241 is perpendicular to the second rotating axis 2290, and the second pulley 2260 rotating on the second slider 2250 is always at the winding point of the second link rope 1600 in the second rope winding slot 2231. When the position of the second slider 2250 on the second adjusting slot 2241 is adjusted, the axial distance between the second pulley 2260 and the second rotating axis 2290 changes, thereby adjusting the position of the winding point of the second link rope 1600 on the first boss 2230 of the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600, thereby changing the winding angle of the second link rope 1600 on the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600.

[0075] Reference Figure 15 and Figure 16 The outer side of the third universal joint 1200 is provided with four mutually perpendicular second mounting surfaces 1210 along both ends of the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft. A second boss 1250 is provided on the second mounting surface 1210 of the third universal joint 1200. A fifth rope winding groove 1251 is provided on the outer periphery of the second boss 1250. The fifth rope winding groove 1251 of the second boss 1250 corresponding to the end of the second transmission shaft is parallel to and opposite to the second rope winding groove 2231. The second linkage rope 1600 of the second adjustment structure is arranged in the fifth rope winding groove 1251. and wound in the second rope winding groove 2231, so that the second linkage rope 1600 that is wound in and released on the third universal joint 1200 and the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600) is wound in or released along a fixed angle, thereby preventing the second linkage rope 1600 from creeping on the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600) and the third universal joint 1200 due to changes in the winding angle, thereby affecting the reverse linkage constraint in the yaw direction of the first joint arm 2100 of the linkage adjustment structure 2000 and the second joint arm 1100 of the arm segment 1000.

[0076] In addition, back to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The second adjustment structure of each end of the disk 2110 is provided with two second linkage ropes 1600, and two corresponding second sliders 2250 are also provided. The corresponding adjustment brackets 2240 are respectively arranged on the first bosses 2230 at both ends of the second rotation axis 2290 of the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600. On the first universal joint 2200 or the second universal joint 2600, one end of the two second linkage ropes 1600 is passed around the second sliders 2250 along the opposite rotation direction of the second rotation axis 2290. 0, and then continue to wind around the second rope groove 2231 and be fixedly connected to the first boss 2230. On the third universal joint 1200, the other ends of the two second linkage ropes 1600 are on the fifth rope groove 1251 of the second boss 1250 at both ends of the second rotating shaft 2290 of the third universal joint 1200 and are fixedly connected to the second boss 1250. The winding directions of each second linkage rope 1600 on the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600) and the third universal joint 1200 are opposite.

[0077] That is, by adjusting the relative position of the second slider 2250 in the second adjustment slot 2241 , the transmission relationship of the universal joints at both ends of the second linkage rope 1600 can be changed.

[0078] It is worth mentioning that, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adjusting bracket 2240 is provided with limiting grooves 2242 on both sides of the second adjusting groove 2241, and the edge of the second slider 2250 is provided with a convex edge 2252 that cooperates with the limiting groove 2242. In order to fasten the second slider 2250 on the adjusting bracket 2240 after adjusting the second slider 2250, the adjusting bracket 2240 is provided with a locking groove 2243 that connects to the second adjusting groove 2241 on one side of the second adjusting groove 2241, and a screw hole is provided on the second slider 2250, and the second slider 2250 can be locked by passing a screw through the locking groove 2243 and screwing into the screw hole.

[0080] Reference Figure 13 The precision adjustment principle of this embodiment in the B-axis direction is described. When the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) is moved along the B-axis direction (rotation point O ZR ) rotates clockwise by θ, the fixed point between the second linkage rope 1600 and the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600) rotates from M2 to M1, and at the same time, the center of the second pulley 2260 fixedly connected to the first universal joint 2200 (second universal joint 2600) moves from ⊙O r2 Rotate to ⊙O r1 Position, tensioning the rope segment in the second linkage rope 1600 A2B2, C2D2 and D2N2 will move to A1B1, C1D1, D1N1, among which The lengths of A2B2 and D2N2 remain constant. The length of C2D2 changes due to the rotation, and since the total length of the second linkage rope 1600 remains unchanged, the end point N2 will be pulled to N1 during the rotation. ZR The radius of r1 is ⊙O r1 The radius of d is ⊙O ZR With ⊙O r1 The center distance of R2 is ⊙O CR Radius, L ZC O ZR With ⊙O CR Center distance.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) rotating around the axis of the second articulated arm 1100B is taken as the active end, and the third universal joint 1200 rotating around the axis of the second articulated arm 1100B is taken as the passive end. It should be noted that when the active end and the passive end are interchanged, the following principles and results are not affected. The angle at which the passive end is pulled when the active end moves θ is calculated according to the following steps and formulas.

[0082] ∠A1O ZR O r1 =∠A2O ZR O r2 =arccos((R1-r1) / d)

[0083]

[0084] ∠O r2 O ZR E2=arccos((r1+d) / O ZR E2)

[0085] ∠HO ZR C2=90°-∠O r2 O ZR E2

[0086] In O ZR IE1 and O CR In D1E1, O ZR E1 / E1O CR =O ZR I / O CR D1

[0087] And O ZR I=cos(∠O r1 O ZR I)×d+r1,O CR D1=R2

[0088] O ZR E1=O ZR E1×cos(∠O r1 O ZR E1-∠O r1 O ZR I)

[0089] Therefore, we can get

[0090]

[0091] where τ = arctan(L ZC ×cos(∠O r1 O ZR E1)-d,L ZC×sin(∠O r1 O ZR E1))

[0092] Therefore ∠O r1 O ZR I=arcsin(sin(∠O r1 O ZR I+τ))-τ

[0101] θ2=(ΔS1+ΔS2) / (2πR2)×360°

[0102] Therefore, when the first universal joint 2200 (the second universal joint 2600) is rotated along the B axis (rotation point O ZR ) When the first clockwise rotation θ, the third universal joint 1200 will rotate around its B axis (rotation point O CR)Secondly, rotate θ2 clockwise. When θ is taken as different values, it is found that within a certain range of θ∈(-30°,30°), (ΔS1+ΔS2) is approximately linearly related to θ. At this time, let (ΔS1+ΔS2)=kθ, therefore, θ2=(k×360° / (2πR2))×θ, that is, when the structure is fixed, θ2 is approximately linearly related to θ. When (k×360° / (2πR′))=1, the motion on both sides is the same; when (k×360° / (2πR′))>1, θ2>θ, and the driven rotation is greater than the active rotation; when (k×360° / (2πR′))<1, θ2<θ, and the driven rotation is less than the active rotation.

[0103] When the change ZR With ⊙O r1 When the center distance d is changed, k will be significantly changed. At the same time, the appropriate R1, r1, R2, L ZC The structural dimensions are such that (k×360° / (2πR′)) is close to 1. Thus, by changing d to make the second slider 2250 translate along the second adjustment slot 2241, the transmission relationship between the linkage adjustment structure 2000 and the arm segment 1000 in the yaw direction can be adjusted, thereby compensating for the effects of rope deformation and friction on the transmission accuracy on both sides, compensating for linkage errors, and improving the linkage accuracy of the structure between the two second rotating shafts 2290.
