Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of robotics technology, and in particular relates to a modular reconfigurable robot. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional robot design, robots are typically developed in a customized manner for specific tasks. While this design pattern can meet the needs of a single task, it often lacks flexibility and cannot adapt to diverse or dynamically changing work scenarios. In simpler terms, traditional robots are usually designed with a specific task in mind. Once the robot's main structure and basic functions are finalized, they are completely fixed. Such robots can only perform predefined tasks and cannot adapt to task changes in new environments by modifying their structure. They lack the ability to dynamically respond to different tasks, and because of their fixed functions, upgrades are difficult, and they cannot update their functions as needs change. Therefore, the scalability of these robots is very poor.

[0003] For example, in real-world scenarios with limited space and complex movement paths, when traditionally customized robots fail to meet practical needs such as smooth operation, even with assistance from staff, the user's needs may still not be met, leading to reduced work efficiency and difficulty in ensuring work quality, resulting in excessive time and economic costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a modular reconfigurable robot that is guided by actual task requirements. It can flexibly combine functional modules, adapt to diverse and complex work scenarios, and reconfigure the robot's structure through flexible combination of functional modules. This allows the robot to cope with task changes in new environments, effectively improving its scalability while ensuring stable load smoothness during movement. This further improves work efficiency and quality, and avoids excessive consumption of time and economic costs.

[0040] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates the usage of this invention:

[0041] Taking the pitch adjustment module IV as an example, when the robot's pitch attitude needs to be adjusted, the electric push rod 1 is first activated. By extending or shortening the electric push rod 1, the lower support plate 5 is driven to tilt downwards or tilt upwards. Utilizing the working principle of the parallelogram mechanism, the upper support plate 4 can be driven to tilt downwards or tilt upwards simultaneously, thereby raising or lowering the pitch adjustment front plate 3. Specifically, when the electric push rod 1 extends and drives the lower support plate 5 to tilt downwards, the descent of the pitch adjustment front plate 3 causes the elastic rope 6 to stretch and accumulate elastic potential energy. When the electric push rod 1 retracts and drives the lower support plate 5 to tilt upwards, the tension of the electric push rod 1 and the elastic force released by the retraction of the elastic rope 6 work together to ensure stable load smoothness during robot attitude adjustment.

[0042] Taking the horizontal tilting attitude adjustment module V as an example, when it is necessary to adjust the robot's horizontal tilting attitude, the worm gear reducer motor 14 is first started, which drives the drive gear 24 to rotate. Since the drive gear 24 meshes with the transition gear 25, the drive gear 24 will roll along the transition gear 25. At this time, the reverse torque generated by the drive gear 24 during the rolling process will be transmitted to the truss plate 15 through the worm gear reducer motor 14, and drive the truss plate 15 to tilt horizontally around the front axle 23. As the truss plate 15 tilts horizontally, it will simultaneously drive the rear axle 21 to revolve around the front axle 23, and then drive the front bearing seat 22 to revolve around the front axle 23 and rotate around the front axle 23, so that the horizontal tilting attitude adjustment front base plate 17 revolves around the front axle 23, and finally realizes that the horizontal tilting attitude adjustment front base plate 17 can tilt to the left or right, and the tilting range is 0 to 180°. During the horizontal swinging and posture adjustment process, the front drive gear 27 rolls along the rear drive gear 26 while the upper support rod 18 and the lower support rod 19 follow the truss plate 15 to swing horizontally around the front axle rod 23, so that the robot has stable load smoothness during posture adjustment.

[0043] When the work environment and actual tasks change, the robot can be modularly reconfigured. Figure 3 The two-DOF robot shown is the initial configuration. When it needs to be reconfigured... Figure 5When configuring the four-DOF robot as shown, first remove the quick-connect fastening screw 35 on the quick-connect module III between the end effector mount II and the initial horizontal tilting attitude adjustment module V, thus releasing the limiting position between the male connector plate 28 and the female connector bracket 29. Then, the male connector plate 28 and the female connector bracket 29 can be separated, and the male electrical contact 32 and the female electrical contact 34 will disengage, thus removing the end effector mount II. Next, connect the supplementary pitch attitude adjustment module IV to the initial horizontal tilting attitude adjustment module V via the quick-connect module III. Then, connect the supplementary horizontal tilting attitude adjustment module V to the supplementary pitch attitude adjustment module IV via the quick-connect module III. Finally, connect the previously removed end effector mount II to the supplementary horizontal tilting attitude adjustment module V via the quick-connect module III. At this point, the robot modular reconfiguration is complete.
