Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ground rotating robots, in particular to a three-ring single-power ground self-rotating robot based on a triple-symmetry Bricard mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] Spatial single-closed-chain mechanisms such as Bricard mechanisms are widely used in mobile robots due to their few degrees of freedom, high flexibility, high stiffness, and high reliability. They enhance the performance of robots in terms of deformation ability and complex terrain adaptability, enabling single-degree-of-freedom spatial closed-chain robots based on Bricard mechanisms to fold and unfold. This deformation ability allows the robot to have both spatial free motion capability and small-space storage capability.

[0003] By analyzing three typical rotational motions in nature, a biological-inspired self-rotation mechanism is proposed from three aspects: bionic form design, stable axis layout, and posture balance adjustment. Combined with the characteristics of spatial single-closed-chain Bricard mechanisms, a mechanical structure is designed, resulting in a spatial single-closed-chain ground rotating robot with a new moving mechanism. This robot can achieve autonomous and controllable rotational motion through the folding and unfolding of the mechanical structure under single-power driving. It has multiple complex motion modes such as multi-directional flipping and in-place squirming, as well as multiple motion states like folding and unfolding. It can achieve autonomous and controllable adjustment of angle and position to realize self-rotation in various environments such as sea, land, and air. SUMMARY

[0073] The specific use method is as follows:

[0074] The three-ring single-power ground self-spinning robot based on the triply symmetric Bricard mechanism can realize a flip motion mode. As shown in Figure 20 The robot is initially stably placed on the ground in a folded state and is in a static balance state. The steering gear (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is unidirectionally rotated. The robot is gradually unfolded from the folded state by increasing the driving angle of the driving motor, and moves in the forward direction. When the driving angle of the robot is at a critical value, the robot is in a critical state of about to be tipped over. The robot is flipped over and tipped over in the forward direction by continuously increasing the driving angle. The driving angle reaches the maximum value of the physical limit. The steering gear (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) stops rotating. The robot is in a completely unfolded state, and the robot flip motion mode is realized.

[0075] The three-ring single-power ground self-spinning robot based on the triply symmetric Bricard mechanism can realize a spin motion mode. As shown in Figure 21 The robot is initially stably placed on the ground in a forward unfolded state and is in a static balance state. The steering gear (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is reversed. The robot is gradually folded from the unfolded state by reducing the size of the driving angle. During the folding process, the three spherical supports of the touch rod interact with the ground to generate a driving torque, overcoming the frictional resistance to drive the robot to rotate around its axis at a small amplitude. The robot gradually moves until the completely folded state. When the driving torque is greater than the resistance torque, the robot rotates rapidly under the driving of the torque. With the decrease of the driving torque, the resistance torque is greater than the driving torque, and the robot rotates at a deceleration. Continue to reduce the driving angle to 0. The robot gradually moves until the completely folded state. The robot continues to spin under the driving of the torque until the motion stops, and the robot spin motion mode is realized.

[0076] The three-ring single-power ground self-spinning robot based on the triply symmetric Bricard mechanism can realize a continuous spin motion mode. As shown in Figure 22As shown, the robot is initially stably placed on the ground in a forward unfolding state, in a static balance state, the servo (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is reversed, and the robot is gradually folded from the unfolding state by reducing the size of the driving angle, and the three spherical supports of the touch-down rod interact with the ground during the folding process to generate a driving torque, overcoming the friction resistance to drive the robot to rotate around the central axis at a small amplitude, and the robot gradually moves until the complete folding state, when the driving torque is greater than the resistance torque, the robot rotates rapidly under the driving torque, and when the driving torque decreases, the resistance torque is greater than the driving torque, and the robot rotates at a reduced speed. Before the current spinning motion ends, that is, the size of the driving angle approaches 0, the robot approaches the completely folded state, and the servo (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is driven to rotate forward, and the robot enters the unfolding process and starts to spin in the opposite direction. When the driving angle reaches the maximum physical limit, the robot approaches the completely unfolded state again, and when the driving angle reaches the maximum physical limit, the servo (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is reversed, and the robot continues to spin forward, realizing the continuous spinning motion mode of the robot.

[0077] The three-ring single-power ground self-rotating robot based on the triple symmetric Bricard mechanism can realize the peristaltic mode. As shown in Figure 23 As shown, the robot first touches the ground in the reverse unfolding state, the servo (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is reversed, and the robot is driven to shrink towards the middle axis until it enters the folded state. After entering the folded state, the servo (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is rotated forward, and the robot rotates at a low speed peristaltic, and the robot is unfolded again during the peristaltic process, and the whole body rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle, completing a peristaltic gait. By repeating the above process, the robot can adjust the direction of the body to realize the peristaltic mode of the robot.

[0078] The three-ring single-power ground self-rotating robot based on the triple symmetric Bricard mechanism can realize the completely folded mode. As shown in Figure 24 As shown, the servo (1-6) on the first connecting rod (1) is unidirectionally rotated to drive the robot to fold and realize the completely folded mode.
