Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a leg structure, in particular to a hip joint structure, a leg structure and a robot bionic leg with six degrees of freedom and low inertia. Background Art
[0002] In the past, humanoid robots, as images in film and television works, gave people unlimited imagination. In today's world with rapid development of science and technology, this imagination is gradually becoming a reality. In today's world, countries are actively conducting research on humanoid robot technology. At present, humanoid robot technology has achieved many gratifying research results, but humanoid robot legs, as an important part of robot movement, still have many problems to be solved.
[0003] The leg structure of a humanoid robot includes a thigh, knee joint, calf, ankle joint and foot. In order to achieve the bending of the knee joint and ankle joint, the driving components of the joints are generally installed at the position of the corresponding joints, or the driver for driving the ankle joint is placed at the calf or knee joint, which leads to an increase in the inertia of the calf. For example, the Chinese patent "CN111846008A" discloses "a bipedal robot with a variable stiffness ankle joint", and the driving components include a motor and a gear pair, etc., and the bending of the joint is achieved by the cooperation of the motor and the gear pair. However, this design method results in a large mass at the joint, and it is impossible to achieve lightweight movement of the calf and foot, and it limits the multi-degree-of-freedom movement of the leg.
[0004] At the same time, in order to make the humanoid robot have a higher jumping posture, it is also necessary to equip it with actuators with large torque and high speed; in order to achieve better results, the legs should also be designed to be lightweight, which requires a compact layout of leg components; however, due to the large range of motion of the leg joints, a compact layout is difficult to achieve, which results in an appearance that is not "human" enough.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This application makes the overall structure of the leg structure more compact and the appearance more "humanized" through two aspects of design. First, the design of the structural layout: the hip joint structure and the leg structure are both symmetrically designed, and the center plane of the hip joint structure is perpendicular to the center plane of the leg structure, wherein the hip joint pitch motor and the knee joint pitch motor are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center plane of the leg structure, and the two ankle joint drive units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center plane of the leg structure, and are located below the hip joint pitch motor and the knee joint pitch motor, and above the knee joint, that is, the drive motors of the entire leg structure are symmetrically arranged on the thigh, making full use of the space of the thigh, reducing the size of the calf, and making the overall layout compact and the appearance more "humanized". Second, the lightweight design of the calf reduces the size of the drive device: the motor used to drive the ankle joint is placed on the thigh, and no driving components of the robot leg are installed on the calf, so that the mass distribution of the robot leg is closer to the root of the thigh, reducing the inertia of the calf, and lowering the requirements for the calf drive device, thereby reducing the size of the drive device, making the layout more compact and closer to the shape of human legs, while providing the possibility of achieving higher motion performance; and the electric cylinder used to drive the hip joint has a compressed height dimension, which is more "anthropomorphic" and beautiful.
[0015] 2. The present application adopts the design of the knee joint crank rocker drive assembly so that the foot can be lifted together with the calf and always remain in a horizontal state without changing the posture while the calf undergoes pitch motion; the design of the ankle joint crank rocker drive assembly allows the foot to achieve pitch motion or side swing motion without affecting the position and movement posture of the calf.

[0058] In this embodiment, the overall structure of the leg structure B is made more compact and the appearance is more "humanized" through two aspects of design. First, the design of the structural layout: the hip joint structure A and the leg structure B are both symmetrically designed, and the median plane of the hip joint structure A is perpendicular to the median plane of the leg structure B, wherein the hip joint pitch motor 5 and the knee joint pitch motor 11-1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the median plane of the leg structure B, and the two ankle joint drive units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the median plane of the leg structure B, and are located below the hip joint pitch motor 5 and the knee joint pitch motor 11-1, and above the knee joint, that is, the drive motors of the entire leg structure B are symmetrically arranged on the thigh 6, making full use of the space of the thigh, reducing the size of the calf, and making the overall layout compact and the appearance more "humanized". Second, the lightweight design of the calf reduces the size of the drive device: the motor used to drive the ankle joint is placed on the thigh, and no driving components of the robot leg are installed on the calf, so that the mass distribution of the robot leg is closer to the root of the thigh, reducing the inertia of the calf, and lowering the requirements for the calf drive device, thereby reducing the size of the drive device, making the layout more compact and closer to the shape of human legs, while providing the possibility of achieving higher motion performance; and the electric cylinder used to drive the hip joint has a compressed height dimension, which is more "anthropomorphic" and beautiful.
[0059] In this embodiment, the design of the knee joint crank rocker drive assembly 11 allows the foot to be lifted together with the calf 8 and always remain in a horizontal state without changing its posture; the design of the ankle joint crank rocker drive assembly 12 allows the foot to achieve pitch or side swing motion without affecting the position and movement posture of the calf.
[0060] The working process of the present invention is further described below to further demonstrate the working principle and advantages of the present invention:
[0061] 1. The process of leg side swing movement:
[0062] See also Fig.12 and Fig.13 When the fuselage connecting part 1 is connected to the fuselage and remains fixed, the telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders extend out of the cylinder body synchronously and the extended lengths are the same, the telescopic rods of the electric cylinders generate the same thrust on the thigh connecting part 3. Under the action of the eccentric thrust, the thigh connecting part 3 rotates upward around the pin axis in the z-axis direction of the hip joint universal joint 2, and drives the leg structure to swing to the side of the fuselage, thereby realizing the freedom of side swing of the leg.
[0063] 2. The process of leg yaw movement:
[0064] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11When the telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders extend out of the cylinder body successively and the extended lengths are different, the thigh connector 3 rotates around the pin shaft in the y-axis direction of the hip joint universal joint 2 under the coupling action of the telescopic rods of the two electric cylinders. When the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder in front of the fuselage extends longer and the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder behind the fuselage extends shorter, the thigh connector 3 drives the leg structure to rotate clockwise. Conversely, the thigh connector 3 drives the leg structure to rotate counterclockwise, thereby realizing the yaw freedom of the leg.
[0065] 3. The process of leg pitching movement:
[0066] When the driving shaft of the hip joint pitch motor 5 drives the thigh 6 to swing forward and backward, the pitch freedom of the leg is achieved.
[0067] 4. The process of calf pitching movement:
[0068] See also Figure 8 The rotational motion of the knee joint pitch motor 11-1 is transmitted to the calf 8 through the knee joint crank 11-2 and the knee joint motion connecting rod 11-3 in turn, and drives the calf 8 to perform pitch motion around the knee joint connecting axis 7, and at the same time, the calf 8 drives the foot 10 to lift; since the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 is not started, the shape of the upper parallelogram structure at the top has not changed, and the position of the ankle joint triangle plate 12-4 has not changed, so the top side state and the bottom side state in the lower parallelogram structure will not change, and the foot 10 is always parallel to the ground, but the angle between the foot 10 and the calf 8 changes, so the rotational motion of the knee joint pitch motor 11-1 can change the pitch angle of the calf 8 without changing the pitch angle of the foot 10.
[0069] 5. The process of foot pitching movement:
[0070] See also Figure 8The ankle joint drive motors 12-1 in the two ankle joint drive units are driven synchronously in the same direction, and the rotational motion of the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 is transmitted to the foot 10 through the ankle joint crank 12-2, the ankle joint primary connecting rod 12-3, the ankle joint triangle plate 12-4 and the ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5 in turn, and the foot 10 undergoes a pitch motion; specifically, the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 drives the ankle joint crank 12-2 to rotate counterclockwise, the ankle joint crank 12-2 drives the ankle joint triangle plate 12-4 to rotate counterclockwise around the knee joint connecting shaft 7 through the ankle joint primary connecting rod 12-3, and the ankle joint triangle plate 12-4 drives the foot 10 to rotate counterclockwise around the pin shaft in the x-axis direction of the ankle joint universal joint 9-1 through the ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5. When the ankle joint rotates clockwise, the toes of the foot 10 turn downward; conversely, the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 drives the ankle joint crank 12-2 to rotate clockwise, and the ankle joint crank 12-2 drives the ankle joint triangle plate 12-4 to rotate clockwise around the knee joint connecting axis 7 through the ankle joint primary connecting rod 12-3, and the ankle joint triangle plate 12-4 drives the foot 10 to rotate clockwise around the pin shaft in the x-axis direction of the ankle joint universal joint 9-1 through the ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5, and the toes of the foot 10 turn upward, so the pitch posture of the foot 10 changes; because the ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5 is always in a vertical state, the state and position of the calf 8 do not change, and the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 only changes the pitch angle of the foot 10.
[0071] 6. The process of lateral swing of the foot:
[0072] When the ankle joint drive motors 12-1 in the two ankle joint drive units are driven in reverse synchronously, the foot 10 performs a sideways swing motion under the coupled drive of the two ankle joint drive motors 12-1; specifically, the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 in the left ankle joint drive unit rotates counterclockwise at a small angle, and the left ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5 drives the left heel side of the foot 10 to be pulled upward, and the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 in the right ankle joint drive unit rotates clockwise at a small angle, and the right ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5 drives the right heel side of the foot 10 to move downward, and the foot 10 Under the coupling action of the two, the foot 10 swings to the right around the pin axis in the z-axis direction of the ankle joint universal joint 9-1; conversely, the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 in the ankle joint drive unit on the left side rotates clockwise at a small angle, and the ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5 on the left side drives the left heel side of the foot 10 to move downward, and the ankle joint drive motor 12-1 in the ankle joint drive unit on the right side rotates counterclockwise at a small angle, and the ankle joint secondary connecting rod 12-5 on the right side drives the right heel side of the foot 10 to move upward, and the foot 10 swings to the left around the pin axis in the z-axis direction of the ankle joint universal joint 9-1 under the coupling action of the two.
