Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical system design of robots, in particular to a dexterous hand design capable of efficiently measuring force and position. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of robot technology, higher requirements are put forward for the ability of complex interaction between robots and the environment. Dexterous hands will gradually replace traditional end gripping tools due to their super high degree of freedom and dexterity, and thus play a crucial role in fields such as aerospace, manufacturing, warehousing, intelligent medical treatment, and robot service industry. The perception of force and position information is essential for dexterous hands to achieve dexterous operation and control of targets. Traditional solutions often involve installing angle encoders and torque sensors at each joint of the dexterous hand. However, dexterous hands usually have a super high degree of freedom, which requires the purchase of an equal number of position sensors and force sensors, resulting in high costs. On the other hand, the installation and wiring of these sensors require additional mechanism design, increased power consumption, and constraints on the size of the mechanism, as well as increased complexity of the entire control system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new design scheme and device for measuring the force and position of dexterous hands. Some researchers have proposed mechanisms for force and position fusion measurement, but the measurement accuracy is low and the mechanism size is large. SUMMARY

[0007] the fixed plate is provided with a fixed pulley at the end away from the fixed base plate;

[0008] the rope sequentially passes through the winding reel, the fixed pulley on the fixed base plate, and the fixed pulley on the fixed plate, and is connected to a movable pulley;

[0009] the movable pulley moves along the axis direction of the fixed base plate;

[0010] the movable pulley and the fixed pulley on the fixed base plate are connected by a tension spring.

[0076] Specifically:

[0077] Step one: Install marker points

[0104] Embodiment eleven, in combination Figs. 1-3 The embodiment is described in detail by specific examples, and the technical solutions provided above are described in further detail, specifically:

[0105] The main contribution of the embodiment is to provide a high-precision compact force and position fusion measurement dexterous hand 1 overall design scheme and structural device.

[0106] As Figs. 1-3 shown:

[0107] A new design scheme is proposed for tendon-driven dexterous hand 1 system. First, a dexterous hand 1 mechanism with 13 degrees of freedom is designed, each joint is stretched by tendon, a pulley transmission mechanism containing a tension spring 7 is connected in series between the tendon and the motor, then the deformation of the spring 7 is measured by vision to calculate the tension of the rope, and then the corresponding joint torque is obtained. At the same time, the vision can measure the displacement of the top of the spring 7 (the end connected with the tendon) relative to the initial moment, and the joint rotation angle can be obtained through conversion; through special arrangement of the wiring and pulley group of all tendons, the visual field range of the vision unit can finally contain all the transmission mechanisms of the dexterous hand 1 at the same time, so that the torque and position information of all joints can be measured at the same time. This new dexterous hand 1 design scheme and new design method can obtain the torque and angle information of all joints of the dexterous hand 1 by only using a low-cost monocular camera 12, thereby saving the angle sensor, torque sensor and other devices on the 13 finger joints, saving the cost and reducing the size of the mechanism.

[0108] The measuring device proposed in the embodiment is composed of a motor, a movable pulley 6, a fixed pulley 5, a tension spring 7, a rope 4 connecting shaft and a vision camera 12. The motor equipped with a speed reducer transmits motion to the transmission rope through the fixed pulley 5, and then drives the movable pulley 6 to move. The movable pulley 6 moves through the transmission pulley, drives the other transmission rope to move and the spring 7 to stretch and contract. The end mark point of the spring 7 can measure the movement distance of the end of the spring 7, and the end mark point of the movable pulley 6 can measure the movement distance of the movable pulley 6. The displacement of the mark point is measured, and the movement distance of the traction rope is calculated.

[0109] The steps of measuring the movement distance of the traction rope are as follows:

[0110] Step one: fix two mark points at the end of the movable pulley 6 and the end of the spring 7 respectively, and observe the movement distance of the two mark points by vision (such as camera 12). The movement distance of the mark point at the end of the movable pulley 6 is Δl1, and the movement distance of the mark point at the end of the spring 7 is Δl2.

[0111] Step two: let the movement distance of the traction rope be Δl, and get the relative movement distance of the mark points inside the mechanism Δl1-Δl and Δl2-Δl. Due to the movement characteristics of the movable pulley 6, the movement relationship between them is obtained:

[0112] 2(Δl1-Δl)=Δl2-Δl,

[0113] After arrangement, we get:

[0114] Δl=2Δl1-Δl2,

[0115] At the same time, the elongation of the spring 7 is obtained:

[0116] Δx=Δl2-Δl=2(Δl2-Δl1),

[0117] The steps of measuring the joint torque (equivalent to providing a joint torque sensor function) are as follows:

[0118] Step 1: A tension spring 7 is installed in the pulley set transmission mechanism, and the elongation Δx of the tension spring 7 is observed through vision (such as a camera 12) combined with its transmission relationship;

[0119] Step 2: The stiffness k of the tension spring 7 is a known quantity, since the tension spring 7 is connected to the traction rope, and the forces on both sides of the pulley during pulley set transmission are the same, so the force F k experienced by the tension spring 7 is equal to the tension F l experienced by the traction rope, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0120] F l = F k · Δx,

[0121] Step 3: When the traction rope experiences a tension F l , it will drive the torque transmission wheel to rotate, and since the radius of the torque transmission wheel is known as r, the calculation formula for the joint torque τ driven by the rope 4 is:

[0122] τ = F l · r,

[0123] The steps of measuring the joint angle (equivalent to providing a joint angle encoder function) are as follows:

[0124] Step 1: At the initial time t0, the position p 10 of the dynamic pulley 6 end marker point relative to the world coordinate system and the position p 20 of the spring 7 end marker point relative to the world coordinate system can be measured by a vision device (such as a camera 12);

[0125] Step 2: After the joint rotates an angle θ, at this time t1, the position p 11 of the dynamic pulley 6 end marker point relative to the world coordinate system and the position p 21 of the spring 7 end marker point relative to the world coordinate system can be measured by a vision device (such as a camera 12);

[0126] Step 3: The movement distances of the two marker points during t0-t1 can be obtained as follows:

[0127] Δl1 = p 11 -p 10

[0128] Δl2 = p 21 -p 20 ,

[0129] The movement distance of the traction rope Δl can be obtained by the traction rope calculation formula. In the condition of neglecting the strain of the rope 4 itself, the relationship between the joint angle θ and Δl is:

[0130] Δl = θ · r,

[0131] wherein r is the radius of the torque transmission wheel. The calculation formula of the joint angle can be obtained by transformation as:

[0132]

[0133] The steps of measuring the rotation angle of the motor (equivalent to providing the function of the encoder of the steering gear 10) are as follows:

[0134] Step one: the end of the traction rope connected with the spring 7 and the winding disc 3 is recorded as the first end (10) of the spring 7. At the initial time t0, the position p of the mark point at the end of the movable pulley 6 relative to the world coordinate system can be measured by the visual device (such as the camera 12) 10 ;

[0135] Step two: after the joint rotates by an angle θ, at this time, at the time t1, the position p of the mark point at the end of the movable pulley 6 relative to the world coordinate system can be measured by the visual device (such as the camera 12) 11 ;

[0136] Step three: since the winding disc 3 and the first end of the spring 7 are connected by the rope 4, in the condition of neglecting the strain of the rope 4 itself, the movement distance of the first end of the spring 7 is the angular displacement of the rotation of the steering gear 10. The movement distance of the mark point at the end of the movable pulley 6 during t0-t1 is Δl1 = p 11 -p 10 , and the movement distance of the traction rope connected with the winding disc 3 is the same as the movement distance of the mark point at the end of the movable pulley 6. Since the radius of the winding disc 3 is R, the rotation angle φ of the motor can be derived as:

[0137]

[0138] The embodiment converts the axial displacement of the spring 7 into lateral displacement in the field of view of the camera 12 through a unique pulley set joint transmission and tendon arrangement design. The axial displacement of the spring 7 usually requires the use of a binocular camera 12 for depth information extraction or a monocular camera 12 for direct detection of the axial distance (represented as a change in pixel size). The binocular camera 12 is limited in size and lens spacing in a mechanism with strict size limitations (such as a robot hand, etc.), while the monocular camera 12 detects the axial distance, although it can obtain the change in the deformation amount of the two ends of the spring 7, the pixel coordinate change caused by the axial distance in the field of view of the camera 12 is much smaller than the actual axial distance; More importantly, if the monocular camera 12 directly identifies the axial displacement of the two end markers of the spring 7, the two end markers often cannot be in the same plane (in the same plane, the rear marker will be blocked), so it will be difficult for the monocular camera 12 to obtain the actual deformation amount of the spring 7. Therefore, the axial displacement is converted into lateral displacement by the pulley set, which solves the above problems, so that the measurement unit 2 (such as the camera 12) can simultaneously identify the deformation amount of the entire stretched spring 7, so that the torque and angle of each joint can be obtained by calculation. This scheme can replace many groups of force (or torque) sensors and angle sensors to observe force and position information using only one monocular camera 12. Therefore, it can solve the problems of high cost, complex circuit connection, increased power consumption, and increased control complexity of the measurement unit 2 in the traditional scheme. On the other hand, compared with the force and position measurement schemes in the prior art, the embodiment improves the measurement accuracy, reduces the size of the mechanism, and only uses a single camera 12 to achieve all sensing functions.

[0139] The above further describes the technical solutions provided by the present application in detail through several specific embodiments, in order to highlight the advantages and benefits of the technical solutions provided by the present application. However, the above several specific embodiments are not used as a limitation on the present application, and any reasonable modifications and improvements, combinations and equivalent replacements, etc. of the present application based on the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
