Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a transmission joint, in particular to an active compliant transmission joint based on magnetic field regulation and a working method, belonging to the technical field of robot control. Background Art
[0002] The current booming robot industry is greatly changing the production and lifestyle of human beings. With the rise and development of the robot industry, the technology of human-machine interaction has brought revolutionary progress to the development of productivity. In order to avoid accidents caused by accidental collisions during robot interaction, protect the safety of operators, robots and environmental equipment, and adapt to the requirements of different working conditions, a variable stiffness joint with reliable performance, simple structure, high controllability, rapid stiffness adjustment and wide range of changes is designed, which is of great significance to promoting the improvement of robot motion performance.
[0003] The variable stiffness mechanism is a key component of the bionic joint and an important component that is different from the traditional rigid actuator. It can directly affect the variable stiffness performance of the joint. The current robot variable stiffness compliant joints are mainly divided into the following structural principles: (1) Balance position adjustment type, which changes the effective length of the spring sheet built into the joint to adjust its flexural stiffness, thereby changing the output stiffness of the joint; (2) Antagonistic action type, which uses a set of springs and antagonistic forces to change the stiffness of the joint, allowing the robot to better adapt to different environments and conditions when performing tasks; (3) Variable structure type, which uses special mechanical structures, such as spring sheets, planetary gear trains, and crank slider mechanisms, to adjust the stiffness of the joint by changing the effective working length of the elastic element. Traditional variable stiffness joints are mostly contact transmissions and are prone to fatigue damage. For example, the Chinese patent CN106737824A proposes an electromagnetic variable stiffness flexible rotation joint, which achieves the purpose of variable stiffness through radially arranged coils and electromagnetic coupling, and uses spring limiters to restore the joint to a balanced position. However, long-term power-on will cause the coil to continue to heat up, accelerate the aging process of the coil, reduce its service life, and cannot work for a long time. Another example is a variable stiffness joint based on a cylindrical cam and its control method proposed in Chinese patent CN110978046A. By adjusting the suction between the cylindrical iron core electromagnet and the annular armature, the roller moves in the curved groove opened on the cylindrical cam wall, so that the cylindrical cam barrel rotates and generates a restoring torque, and the current is changed to change the output stiffness of the joint. However, the continuous contact and relative movement between the cam and the barrel wall will cause the cam profile to deform and the accuracy to decrease after long-term operation. At the same time, the iron core electromagnet is prone to aging under continuous current working conditions, which affects the accuracy of the output stiffness. Summary of the invention

Control rigidity adjustment motor I and rigidity adjustment motor II to make the active compliant transmission joint located at the initial position; b. The sector permanent magnet group II is installed on the spur rack group. The radial slip range of the sector permanent magnet group II can be obtained by measuring the radial slip range of the spur rack group on the ruler groove on the coupling plate I. The gear group II is meshed with the spur rack group. The rotation angle range of the gear group II is determined according to the measured slip range of the sector permanent magnet group II.

Control rigidity adjustment motor I and rigidity adjustment motor II to make the active compliant transmission joint located at the initial position; b. The rotation of the rigid gear will synchronously affect the radial displacement of the sector yoke module and the axial air gap between the sector permanent magnet group II and the sector permanent magnet group I, drive the rigid gear to rotate at a fixed step angle, measure the radial displacement of the sector yoke module, and at the same time, measure the axial distance between the sector permanent magnet group II and the sector permanent magnet group I.

At this time, the spur rack set meshing with the gear set II is driven by the gear set II to slide in the indexing slide to the specified displacement, and the sector permanent magnet set II is fixed at the tail end of the spur rack set and slides radially synchronously with the spur rack set, thereby changing the centering area of the sector permanent magnet set II and the sector permanent magnet set I. After the stiffness adjustment work is completed, the stiffness adjustment motor II is powered off and braked, and the drive motor is started, and the output disk rotates at the desired rotational stiffness; When the expected rotational stiffness is within the secondary stiffness adjustment range, the active compliant joint is reset to the initial position. According to the expert knowledge base II of the relationship between the output stiffness of the output disk and the rotation angle of the stiffness adjustment motor I, the position controller controls the stiffness adjustment motor I to rotate to the expected output angle through the servo driver. The stiffness adjustment motor I drives the pinion I to rotate a specified angle. The pinion I engages with the stiffness adjustment gear to drive the stiffness adjustment gear to rotate a specified angle. The stiffness adjustment gear synchronously drives the sector yoke module to offset to the specified position toward the distal end. At the same time, the coupling axial air gap between the sector permanent magnet group II and the sector permanent magnet group I changes. After the stiffness adjustment work is completed, the stiffness adjustment motor I and the power-off brake are turned off, the drive motor is started, and the output disk rotates at the expected rotational stiffness.

The joint adopts pure permanent magnetic coupling transmission, which has extremely low maintenance requirements compared to electromagnetic coils, almost no need to replace parts, and reduces the demand for excitation current, so the energy loss is low and the efficiency is high; The gear rack mechanism is cleverly used to achieve the primary stiffness adjustment of the joint. At the same time, the cam and gear integrated structure is used to change the magnetic coupling gap, and the spiral slide groove is used to change the radial position of the fan-shaped magnetic yoke module, so as to achieve the synchronous secondary stiffness adjustment. The variable stiffness joint can quickly and dynamically adjust its response characteristics according to the external load, and the multi-level stiffness adjustment increases the joint stiffness adjustment range, thereby maintaining greater adaptability in the working environment.
