Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of space robot joint testing, and in particular relates to a device and method for testing the dynamic anti-drive performance of space robot joints. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of space science and technology and the continuous enrichment of application scenarios, and considering the comprehensive factors of cost and benefit in extraterrestrial exploration, the integrated design of probe landing and movement has become a pressing development requirement. Multiple functional requirements, such as multiple buffering, autonomous movement, retractable deployment, attitude adjustment, and adaptation to complex terrain, have emerged. This places extremely high demands on the active buffering capabilities of space robot joints, i.e., high requirements on their dynamic anti-propulsion performance. Space robot joints are typically constructed by connecting harmonic reducers, planetary reducers, or Rv (reverse drive) to the product's motor. Generally, the dynamic anti-propulsion performance of joints differs significantly from their forward drive performance; therefore, experimental research on the dynamic anti-propulsion performance of space robot joints is essential. Given the extremely high requirements for the dynamic anti-propulsion performance of space robot joints, ground verification testing of the dynamic anti-propulsion performance by relevant institutions is crucial to ensuring the reliable operation of spacecraft in orbit.
[0003] The existing testing equipment has the following shortcomings: 1. The existing testing equipment mainly focuses on the reducers in robot joints and lacks research on the overall performance of the joints, which has significant limitations; 2. The existing equipment can only be used to test the steady-state forward drive and static reverse drive of harmonic reducers, and cannot test the steady-state and transient reverse drive mechanical characteristics of the product, so the testing function is relatively simple; 3. The existing equipment can only detect the mechanical properties of the product during the testing process, and cannot observe the operating temperature of the product or monitor the working status of the product.

[0024] A method for testing the dynamic anti-drive performance of a space robot joint includes the following steps:
[0025] S1. Install the joint to be tested:

It can meet the testing requirements for two test states: reducer and joint as a whole. In the product motor state, by setting a voltage stabilizing module, the problem of voltage rise and product burnout caused by the reducer reverse drive of the product motor shaft is overcome, filling the gap in the existing technology for testing and verifying the dynamic characteristics of the space robot joint as a whole.
[0039] (2) The space robot joint dynamic anti-drive performance testing equipment of the present invention simulates the instantaneous impact force and contact stiffness of the product output end under actual working conditions by setting a transient release component.

Detailed Implementation
[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0049] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] This invention provides a space robot joint dynamic anti-drive performance testing device, including a workbench 11, a drive unit 1, a first torque sensor 4, and a joint 6 to be tested. The drive unit 1 is connected to the output end of the joint 6 to be tested. An encoder 3 is installed on the transmission shaft between the drive unit 1 and the joint 6 to be tested. The encoder 3 is used to measure the rotational speed of the joint 6 to be tested, ensuring that the operator can monitor the working status of the joint 6 to be tested in real time. The first torque sensor 4 is installed between the encoder 3 and the joint 6 to be tested, and is used to measure the torque at the output end of the joint 6 to be tested. The encoder 3 is connected to the first torque sensor 4 through a transmission shaft system and a coupling. The first torque sensor 4 is fixedly mounted on the workbench 11 through a first measuring bracket 13. The joint 6 to be tested is detachably mounted on the workbench 11 through a joint bracket 5.
[0052] In this embodiment, the joint under test 6 is composed of a reducer 601 and a product motor 603. The output shaft of the reducer 601 is the output end. The drive unit 1 provides driving torque to the output end of the joint under test 6, and drives the product motor 603 in the reverse direction. The torque of the output end of the joint under test 6 is measured by the first torque sensor 4 to study the dynamic mechanical performance of the space robot joint as a whole in the reverse drive state.
[0053] A voltage stabilizing module is also installed on the workbench 11. This module is connected to the product motor 603 and is used to control the voltage of the product motor 603. During the steady-state reverse drive test, the drive unit 1 drives the reducer 601 to reverse the rotation of the product motor 603 shaft, turning the product motor 603 into a generator. This causes a sharp increase in voltage. The voltage stabilizing module ensures that the product motor 603 maintains a constant voltage output, and excess energy is stored in the module, preventing the product motor 603 from burning out due to the sharp voltage increase.
[0054] The drive unit 1 includes a drive motor 101 and a reducer 102. The output shaft of the drive motor 101 is connected to the input end of the reducer 102 via a coupling, and the output end of the reducer 102 is connected to the output end of the joint 6 to be tested. The drive motor 101 and the reducer 102 are detachably mounted on the worktable 11 via a drive bracket 2.
[0055] A temperature sensor is installed on the joint under test 6. The temperature sensor monitors the product temperature in the test area in real time, which makes it convenient for staff to observe the product temperature and ensures that the joint under test 6 works normally during the test.
[0056] A display screen 10 is installed on the workbench 11 for easy observation by staff. Several casters 12 are installed at the bottom of the workbench 11. The workbench 11 optimizes the layout of each device with full consideration of operability, convenience, and expandability. It can achieve independent control of input and output terminals without interference, rapid voltage stabilization, and real-time synchronous acquisition, automatic summarization, and automatic integration of equipment data and internal and external test data. During the test, it can automatically predict the consistency and pass / fail status of the product based on the success envelope diagram. At the same time, the equipment is equipped with an emergency handling button to prevent product damage caused by accidents and protect the integrity of the product to the greatest extent. The equipment is also equipped with an emergency stop button for product protection in emergency situations; it has log saving and retrieval functions, which can save parameters and retrieve them directly for use next time without re-entering them.
[0057] Example 2
[0058] In this embodiment, the reducer 601 and the tooling motor 602 are connected to form the joint under test 6. The output shaft of the reducer 601 serves as the output end of the joint under test 6, and the adapter shaft of the tooling motor 602 serves as the input end of the joint under test 6. The adapter shaft of the tooling motor 602 is connected to the loading device 8, which is used to simulate the load under the actual working state of the input end of the joint under test 6. A second torque sensor 7 is installed between the input end of the joint under test 6 and the loading device 8 to measure the torque of the input end of the joint under test 6. The second torque sensor 7 is detachably mounted on the worktable 11 via a second measuring bracket. The loading device 8 is detachably mounted on the worktable 11 via a loading bracket 9.
[0059] Specifically, the loading device 8 is a hysteresis brake, which is detachably mounted on the worktable 11 via a loading bracket 9. The input end of the joint under test 6 is connected to the second torque sensor 7 via a transmission shaft and a coupling. The second torque sensor 7 is connected to the hysteresis brake via a coupling. The hysteresis brake can be easily separated from the input end of the joint under test by loosening the coupling.
[0060] In this embodiment, the product motor 603 in the joint under test 6 is replaced with a tooling motor 602. The loading device 8 is connected to the adapter shaft of the tooling motor 602 to provide resistance torque for the reducer 601 of the product joint, simulating the load in the actual operation of the joint. The torque at the output end and input end of the joint is measured by the first torque sensor 4 and the second torque sensor 7. This is mainly used to study the dynamic mechanical performance of the reducer 601 in the space robot joint under the reverse drive state.
[0061] The schemes described in Embodiments 1 and 2 can be used for steady-state anti-drive performance testing of space robot joints. The steady-state anti-drive performance test studies the dynamic characteristics of the joint under test (6) when its output end is subjected to a stable active force and its input end is forced to follow a stable motion. During testing, the test is first conducted with the tooling motor 602 in its current state. Then, the tooling motor 602 is replaced with the product motor 603 for further testing. Simply loosening the coupling between the joint under test (6) and the hysteresis brake quickly disconnects the connection between the hysteresis brake and the joint under test (6), eliminating the need to remove the hysteresis brake.
[0062] Example 3
[0063] Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, the drive motor 101 and reducer 102 are replaced with transient release assembly 14, which serves as drive unit 1 to provide driving torque to the output end of the joint under test 6. In actual testing, the connection between reducer 102 and joint under test 6 can be quickly disconnected by simply loosening the coupling between reducer 102 and encoder 3, and drive unit 1 does not need to be removed.
[0064] An adapter 1404 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft on one side of the output end of the joint under test 6. A transient release component 14 is detachably mounted on the adapter 1404. The transient release component 14 is used to simulate the instantaneous impact force experienced by the output end of the joint under test 6 during actual operation. The transient release component 14 includes a connecting pipe 1402, a first elastic element 1401, and a counterweight 1405. A connecting plate 1403 is provided at one end of the connecting pipe 1402 for connection with the adapter 1404. The first elastic element 1401 is provided on the upper surface of the other end of the connecting pipe 1402, and the counterweight 1405 is suspended below the first elastic element 1401 by a thin rope. During transient reverse drive, the impact force at the product output end is provided by the counterweight 1405 of the transient release component 14. The first elastic element 1401 is used to simulate the stiffness of the robot actuator, thereby simulating the actual contact stiffness of the product. The workbench 11 has a vertical opening 16 on its side to avoid the counterweight 1405, preventing the counterweight 1405 from colliding with the workbench 11 after falling. During testing, the counterweight is released, and its fall drives the drive shaft to rotate through the connecting pipe, thereby providing driving torque to the output end of the joint under test.
[0065] A stabilizing mechanism 15 is installed in the workbench. The stabilizing mechanism 15 is located below the transient release component 14 and is used to limit the rotation angle of the transient release component 14. The stabilizing mechanism 15 includes a housing 1505, a first lead screw drive mechanism 1503, a second lead screw drive mechanism 1504, a horizontal baffle 1502, and a vertical baffle 1501. The first lead screw drive mechanism 1503 is vertically installed in the housing 1505. The horizontal baffle 1502 is located above the housing 1505 and is parallel to the upper surface of the housing 1505. The horizontal baffle 1502 moves vertically relative to the housing 1505 under the drive of the first lead screw drive mechanism 1503. The second lead screw drive mechanism 1504 is horizontally installed in the housing 1505. The vertical baffle 1501 is located on the side of the housing 1505 and is parallel to the side surface of the housing 1505. The vertical baffle 1501 moves horizontally relative to the housing 1505 under the drive of the second lead screw drive mechanism 1504. The housing 1505 is equipped with a first drive motor 101 and a second drive motor 101 for driving the first lead screw drive mechanism 1503 and the second lead screw drive mechanism 1504. The housing 1505 is installed inside the workbench 11; the top of the workbench 11 has a horizontal opening 17 for the horizontal baffle 1502 to extend out, and the vertical baffle 1501 extends out from the vertical opening 16 on the side of the workbench 11. The horizontal baffle 1502 is located below the connecting pipe 1402 of the transient release assembly 14. During testing, the horizontal baffle 1502 rises to a preset height to limit the rotation angle of the transient release assembly 14. The vertical baffle 1501 extends from the vertical opening 16 to prevent interference with the counterweight 1405. After the test, the horizontal baffle 1502 descends to be level with the upper surface of the workbench 11, and the vertical baffle 1501 retracts to be level with the side surface of the workbench 11. The horizontal baffle 1502 and the vertical baffle 1501 seal the horizontal opening 17 and the vertical opening 16, preventing dust and other debris from falling into the workbench 11 and causing contamination. The first lead screw drive mechanism 1503 and the second lead screw drive mechanism 1504 are worm gear screw jacks; the horizontal baffle 1502 and the vertical baffle 1501 are respectively fixed to the end of the lead screw of the worm gear screw jack. The worm gears of the first lead screw drive mechanism 1503 and the second drive mechanism are respectively fixedly connected to the output shafts of the first drive motor 101 and the second drive motor 101. The motor drives the lead screw to move, thereby moving the horizontal baffle 1502 and the vertical baffle 1501. A second elastic element 1401 can be provided on the horizontal baffle 1502 to simulate actual contact stiffness.
[0066] In this embodiment, a transient release component 14 and a stabilizing mechanism 15 are provided for transient anti-drive testing of space robot joints. The transient anti-drive performance mainly studies the dynamic characteristics of the robot joint output end being forced to rotate into a self-stabilizing motion process when subjected to a transient active force at different contact stiffnesses. The transient release component 14 provides the transient impact force and simulated contact stiffness, while the stabilizing mechanism 15 works in conjunction with the transient release component 14 to control the anti-drive angle of the joint 6 under test.
