Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robotics, and in particular to an active desorption gripper-type climbing robot based on nano-micro-adhesive and a grasping, desorption and climbing method. Background Art

[0002] Dry-adhesion climbing robots can navigate vertical walls and inverted surfaces, performing challenging and dangerous tasks, and have broad application prospects across multiple industries. Compared to magnetic, electrostatic, and negative pressure adsorption methods, dry-adhesion climbing robots adhere to surfaces through external forces, requiring no additional energy input.

[0003] The fin-like gripper achieves adaptive gripping by simulating the motion of a fish fin. By mimicking the fin's flexibility, it increases the contact area with the object being grasped. When the fin-like flexible gripper contacts a workpiece, the pressure causes the structure's sides to flex, bending the base and tip in the direction of the applied load. This creates an enveloping effect around the workpiece, improving grip stability.

[0004] Existing grippers with fin-like structures primarily provide passive adaptive grasping. Adding dry adhesive material to the gripper prevents active detachment from the surface, resulting in excessive detachment forces and impacting the robot's stability. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new active detachment gripper that not only enables adaptive grasping but also achieves both adaptive adhesion and active detachment. This, combined with rotating and moving joints, allows for autonomous climbing on both vertical and inverted surfaces.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention designs an active desorption claw climbing robot based on nano-micro-adhesive. It can not only realize adaptive "habitating" and adaptive grasping tasks, but also can realize autonomous climbing motion as an independent climbing robot. Summary of the Invention

[0036] 2. This invention provides a climbing robot with adaptive grasping and perching capabilities. Based on a nano-micro-adhesive active-desorption gripper structure, it can adaptively grasp irregular objects, improving the gripping capability of the gripper. Furthermore, the climbing robot can "perch" on any object or other climbing robot, completing a mobile grasping motion after "perching." This achieves adaptive grasping and perching capabilities.

[0053] This invention provides a passive grasping and active desorption method based on a fish-fin-like structure. Based on this method, a novel active desorption gripper was designed that not only enables passive adaptive grasping but also actively adheres to and desorbs from walls. Based on this, an active desorption gripper-type climbing robot based on nano-micro-adhesive was developed, capable of autonomously climbing vertical and inverted surfaces. This invention not only improves the adaptability and flexibility of the gripping robot in grasping objects, but also expands the robot's range of motion and application scenarios based on its climbing performance.

[0054] The present invention discloses an active desorption claw climbing robot based on nano-micro-adhesive, comprising a trunk portion, two pairs of detachable active desorption claws with a fish-fin-like structure mounted on a connecting plate of the trunk portion, the two claws being a first claw and a second claw having the same structure. The claw comprises an upper and lower positioning frame, two servo motors, a claw driving gear, a claw driven gear, two gear-shaped connecting members, a desorption driving gear, a desorption driven gear, two gears for connecting desorption, an active desorption claw with a fish-fin-like structure, a magnet, nano-micro-adhesive, a gasket, and the like.

The desorption drive gear is fixedly connected to the servo motor, the desorption driven gear cooperates with the desorption drive gear, and the two desorption connecting gears cooperate with the desorption driven gear and the desorption driving gear respectively, and the above gears are all interference fits. The two desorption connecting gears are fixedly connected to the desorption rack belt of the active desorption clamp. The magnet is installed in the active desorption clamp, the nano-micro-adhesive is attached to the contact surface between the clamp and the workpiece, and the gasket is installed between the positioning frame and the gear. The trunk part includes an arm connecting plate, a servo motor, a linear motor, a first linear guide, a second linear guide, and a linear needle bearing. The arm connecting plate is fixedly connected to the servo motor in the above-mentioned clamp and the servo motor in the trunk part respectively, the first linear guide is fixedly connected to the driving wheel of the servo motor coaxially, the second linear guide is fixedly connected to the driving wheel of another servo motor coaxially, the linear motor is built into the second linear guide, and the linear needle bearings are distributed around the second linear guide. This invention replaces the fixed connection between the outer crossbeam and longitudinal beam of the adaptive gripper with a magnetic connection, achieving both adaptive adhesion / grasping and active detachment. Furthermore, the robot's trunk allows for autonomous climbing. Furthermore, the robot can "perch" on any object or other climbing robot, completing a mobile grasping motion after perching. This expands the robot's overall range of motion and usage scenarios, improving its adaptability to different platforms.

[0055] The present invention also provides a climbing method for a climbing robot acting on a vertical surface and an inverted surface, comprising the following process (taking vertical upward climbing on a vertical surface as an example):

[0056] Step 1: The two gripper surfaces with nano-adhesive glue are attached to the vertical wall, and the other motors do not move.

[0057] Step 2: The servo motor of the first gripper drives the desorption drive gear, which drives the desorption connection gear, causing the desorption rack belt of the gripper to shrink, thereby gradually reducing the adhesion area, and finally achieving an active desorption effect. At this time, the first servo motor of the trunk part rotates to drive the first gripper to completely detach from the wall, and the linear motor of the trunk part drives the first linear guide to move, thereby moving the first gripper as a whole. After reaching a certain stroke, the servo motor of the first gripper drives the desorption drive gear to rotate, and the gripper drive gear maintains the current position, so that the gripper maintains 170° to achieve stable adhesion, and the second step is completed.

[0058] In the third step, the servo motor of the second gripper drives the desorption drive gear, which drives the desorption connection gear, causing the desorption rack belt of the gripper to shrink, thereby gradually reducing the adhesion area. At this time, the first servo motor of the trunk part rotates to drive the second gripper to completely detach from the wall, and the linear motor of the trunk part drives the second linear guide to move a certain stroke. The servo motor of the second gripper drives the desorption drive gear to rotate, and the gripper drive gear maintains the current position, so that the gripper maintains 170° to achieve stable adhesion. The third step is completed, and a climbing action is completed.

[0074] Step 1, starting state: each driving servo motor 16 drives the clamp driving gear 5 to make the detachable flexible claw 1 flat, and each detachable flexible claw 1 is adhered to the vertical wall;

[0075] In the second step, the detachment servo motor 13 of the first clamping jaw drives the detachment driving gear 7, thereby driving the first detachment connecting gear 8 and the detachment driven gear 10. The detachment driven gear 10 drives the second detachment connecting gear 11. At this time, the end rack fixedly connected to the first detachment connecting gear 8 and the second detachment connecting gear 11 is tightened, so that the magnet 2 is separated. At this time, the detachable flexible jaw 1 is separated from the vertical wall.

[0076] In the third step, the first servo motor 18 rotates to separate the first clamping jaw from the wall, the second servo motor 23 rotates to move the first clamping jaw to the desired direction, and the linear motor 20 performs linear motion to move the first clamping jaw to the specified position;

[0077] In the fourth step, the first servo motor 18 rotates to make the detachable flexible claw 1 of the first clamping jaw adhere to the wall. The servo motor 13 for desorption of the first clamping jaw rotates, so that the end rack is in a relaxed state and the surface of the detachable flexible claw 1 is in a flat state. The driving servo motor 16 rotates slightly to make the angle between the pair of flexible claws 175 degrees. At this time, the adsorption area between the nano-micro adhesive on the surface of the detachable flexible claw 1 and the wall is greatly increased, and the first clamping jaw can be completely adsorbed on the wall.

[0078] In the fifth step, the second clamping jaw performs the same action as in the second step to separate the detachable flexible jaw 1;

[0079] Step 6: The first servo motor 18 of the first clamping jaw rotates to separate the second clamping jaw from the wall. The linear motor 20 compresses to move the second clamping jaw upward. The second servo motor 23 rotates to move the second clamping jaw to the specified position.

[0080] In the seventh step, the first servo motor 18 of the first gripper rotates, causing the detachable flexible claw 1 of the second gripper to adhere to the wall. The detachment servo motor 13 of the second gripper rotates, causing the end rack to relax and the surface of the detachable flexible claw 1 to be flat. The driving servo motor 16 rotates slightly, causing the angle between the pair of flexible claws to be 175°. This greatly increases the adsorption area between the nano-micro adhesive on the surface of the detachable flexible claw 1 and the wall, allowing the second gripper to fully adhere to the wall, thus completing the climbing action. The climbing robot repeats these steps to achieve overall climbing.
