Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical arms, in particular to a rope-driven passive decoupling three-degree-of-freedom serial shoulder joint and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The coupling of the rope-driven joint is that when the front joint moves, the length of the rope changes accordingly due to the rope passing through the front joint, which affects the control of the rear joint. To solve the coupling problem of the rope-driven joint, a decoupling mechanism can be used to eliminate the motion coupling between the front joint and the rear joint. At present, most passive decoupling mechanisms are only applicable to single-rotation joint rope decoupling. For a multi-joint structure in series, a decoupling mechanism needs to be added at each joint coupling, which increases the size and mass of the movable part of the mechanical arm, making it difficult to meet the dexterity requirements of agile mechanical arms.

[0003] The three-degree-of-freedom serial shoulder joint of the mechanical arm generally adopts a motor plus harmonic reducer direct connection mode, and the motor is still located at the movable end of the mechanical arm, so the inertia and mass of the joint are large; although the motor is placed on the base in the multi-degree-of-freedom parallel shoulder joint, the joint generally has a small range of motion and singularity, which reduces the working space of the mechanical arm.
