Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of unmanned technology, artificial intelligence technology and sensor technology, the development of intelligent unmanned systems has made great progress. Among them, ground unmanned vehicles have become an important part of military operations due to their advantages such as low casualties in high-risk scenarios, sustainable operations in extreme service environments, and real-time data acquisition in complex battlefield environments. Unmanned motorcycles are widely used in the transportation of wounded and reconnaissance and strike missions in complex terrain and narrow spaces due to their compact structure and maneuverability. In addition, their low operating noise and small radar characteristics make them an ideal execution platform for covert combat missions, surveillance missions and intelligence collection missions. Because its two wheels are arranged on the front and rear axles respectively, it shows higher flexibility and stronger climbing and obstacle crossing capabilities compared to self-balancing two-wheeled vehicles.

[0003] However, the nature of unmanned motorcycles is an under-actuated system. The steering subsystem is strongly coupled with the drive subsystem. There are unmodeled dynamics and external interference, which makes the balance and motion control of unmanned motorcycles extremely challenging. On the one hand, it is difficult for traditional motorcycle configurations to balance steering flexibility and straight-driving stability; on the other hand, in driving environments such as hillsides, jungles, and gravel, tire forces can easily enter the saturated nonlinear region. Traditional control strategies that reduce speed or reduce turning angles to avoid instability greatly weaken the vehicle's maneuverability. Existing research on unmanned motorcycles focuses on classical balance control based on traditional configurations. There have been no reports on the configuration design of unmanned motorcycles from static to motion without relying on torque gyroscopes, and motion control for extreme maneuvers. Summary of the invention

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in the absence of conflict; and, based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

The trail distance is defined as: the distance c between the intersection point P3 of the handlebar shaft extension line and the ground and the front wheel ground contact point P2, and it is stipulated that the direction of P2 after P3 is positive, and the direction of P2 before P3 is negative.

[0042] The design principle of the towing device of this application is: Figure 1 From the side view, we can see that the drag torque can be changed by changing the angle θ between the front fork and the handlebar shaft. Figure 2From the rear view, we can see that under the condition of negative trail, the support force N generated by the front wheel contacting the ground is f Being on the right side with gravity, negative trail is beneficial to ensuring the vehicle's straight-driving stability, while positive trail is beneficial to enhancing the vehicle's steering flexibility. Therefore, the support force and gravity can be offset against each other by adjusting the handlebar angle to achieve static balance.

[0043] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the embodiment of the present application is a trailing distance device suitable for extreme maneuvers, including a handlebar rotating shaft 51, a double-shoulder front fork 52, an upper handlebar clamping member 53, a lower handlebar clamping member 54, an upper handlebar clamping member 55 and a lower handlebar clamping member 56; wherein, the upper handlebar clamping member 53 and the lower handlebar clamping member 54 are fixed to the handlebar rotating shaft 51, and the upper handlebar clamping member 55 and the lower handlebar clamping member 56 are fixed to the double-shoulder front fork 52; the upper handlebar clamping member 55 and the upper handlebar clamping member 53 are connected by a connecting member 58 to form a rotating pair; a sliding groove 59 is provided on the lower handlebar clamping member 54, and the connecting member 58 passes through the sliding groove 59 to be connected to the lower handlebar clamping member 56, so that the lower handlebar clamping member 56 can move in the sliding groove, thereby changing the angle between the double-shoulder front fork 52 and the handlebar rotating shaft 51.

[0044] In the specific implementation of this embodiment, bolt holes are provided on the upper clamping member of the double shoulder front fork and the lower clamping member of the double shoulder front fork, and the bolts are tightened to clamp the double shoulder front fork; bolt holes are also provided on the upper clamping member of the handlebar and the lower clamping member of the handlebar, and the bolts are tightened to fix the handlebar rotating shaft. The upper clamping member of the double shoulder front fork is connected to the upper clamping member of the handlebar by a bare bolt, and the lower clamping member of the handlebar is connected to the lower clamping member of the double shoulder front fork by a bare bolt, forming a rotating pair, so that the double shoulder front fork and the handlebar can rotate relative to each other.

[0045] Another embodiment of the present application further includes a drag distance control module, which is connected to the lower clamping member 56 of the double-shoulder front fork and is used to control the lower clamping member 56 of the double-shoulder front fork to slide back and forth in the slide groove 59.

[0046] In order to realize the variable drag distance function, a slide groove is provided on the clamping part under the handlebar ( Figure 5 For the convenience of explanation, the left clamp is hidden. The clamp under the double shoulder front fork can move forward and backward in the slide slot, thereby changing the angle between the double shoulder front fork and the rotating shaft. Figure 4 As shown, the handlebar shaft, the double-shoulder front fork and the clamping member form a triangular structure, which ensures the stability of the structure.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle speed is stationary or the speed is less than the set threshold value V L When the vehicle speed is greater than the set threshold value VH When the trailing distance control module controls the double-shoulder front fork to move toward the rear end of the slideway.

[0048] In another embodiment of the present application, the connecting member can be a bare bolt, a pin or a machined part with a bearing, so that the clamping member on the double-shoulder front fork and the clamping member on the handlebar can be connected through the connecting member to form a rotating pair.

[0049] This embodiment can adjust the vehicle body structure according to the working conditions to meet the mobility requirements. At low speed or stationary conditions, the double-shoulder front fork is controlled to move toward the front end of the slide slot, thereby increasing the angle between the front fork and the rotating shaft to obtain a negative drag distance. The drag distance control module of this embodiment can adjust the handlebar angle based on the PID algorithm to ensure that the vehicle body is maintained in a balanced state. The forward speed is measured using the motor encoder. When the vehicle speed is greater than the set value, the double-shoulder front fork is controlled to move toward the rear end of the slide slot, thereby reducing the angle between the front fork and the rotating shaft to obtain a positive drag distance. At the same time, the control program is switched to the LQR-PID cascade control algorithm to ensure the smoothness of the movement. The self-balancing algorithm control process is as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present application, the double-crown front fork 52 has a threaded line at the end for connecting with a pneumatic active suspension.

[0051] The embodiment of the present application is an unmanned motorcycle suitable for extreme maneuvers, comprising a transformable motorcycle body, a pneumatic active suspension, an upper layer sensing system, and a lower layer motion control system; wherein the transformable motorcycle body adopts the variable trail device and the pneumatic active suspension disclosed in the above embodiment, and the pneumatic active suspension is connected between the variable trail device and the front wheel of the transformable motorcycle body;

[0052] The upper layer perception system is used to obtain the driving environment information of the motorcycle;

[0053] The underlying motion control system is used to realize driving control of the unmanned motorcycle according to the environmental information.

[0054] like Figure 7-8 As shown, in this embodiment, an unmanned motorcycle suitable for extreme maneuvers adopts the variable drag device disclosed in the above embodiment. The rest of the modifiable motorcycle body can be implemented using existing technologies, specifically: a mid-mounted motor 1 is used to drive the rear wheel through a belt drive 2; the handlebar uses a servo 3 to achieve steering through a four-bar linkage 4; a variable drag device 5 with a variable triangle structure is used at the front fork to achieve configuration changes of the variable drag distance, ensuring that balance can be achieved even at low speeds and when stationary; a pneumatic active suspension 6 is used at the lower end of the front fork to achieve jumping movements. The upper perception system 7 and the lower motion control system 8 can be set on the modifiable motorcycle body, which can realize functions such as autonomous driving and zero-speed starting.

[0055] In this embodiment, the unmanned motorcycle drive system adopts a mid-mounted motor and drives the rear wheel through a belt drive. The handlebar adopts a servo through a four-bar mechanism to achieve steering, and the front suspension adopts pneumatic active suspension support to achieve jumping and nose-lifting under extreme working conditions. It integrates the upper-level perception system and the underlying control system to realize functions such as autonomous driving and zero-speed starting, providing theoretical and technical support for the design of unmanned motorcycle motion control systems under complex extreme working conditions.

[0056] like Fig. 9 As shown, another embodiment of the present application, the pneumatic active suspension includes an air pressure chamber and a shock absorber spring, wherein the air pressure chamber is arranged inside the shock absorber spring, and the air pressure chamber and the shock absorber spring jointly change the hardness and softness of the suspension.

[0057] In specific implementation, the pneumatic active suspension is composed of an air pressure pump 61, an air cylinder 62, an electromagnetic valve 63, an air pipe interface 64, an air pressure chamber 65, a shock absorber spring 66 and a threaded interface 67; wherein the top of the shock absorber spring 66 is connected to the bottom of the double shoulder front fork of the variable trailing distance device through a threaded interface 67, and the bottom of the shock absorber spring 66 is connected to the front wheel through a connector, the air pressure chamber 65 is installed inside the shock absorber spring 66, and the air pressure chamber push rod is fixed to the threaded interface 67, and the hardness of the suspension is determined by the air pressure of the air pressure chamber 65 and the hardness of the shock absorber spring 66. The air pipe interface 64 and the air pressure pump 61, the air cylinder 62, and the electromagnetic valve 63 are connected in series through an air pipe. The air pressure pump 61 generates controllable high-pressure gas and transmits it to the air cylinder, which is then transmitted to the electromagnetic valve 63 through the pressure stabilization buffer of the air cylinder 62, and the electromagnetic valve 63 is opened and then transmitted to the air pressure chamber 61 through the interface 64. By controlling the suction force of the air pressure pump 61, different air pressures can be generated, thereby changing the hardness and softness of the suspension. The threaded interface 67 is rotatably connected to the end of the double-shoulder front fork.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the air pressure pump is working, the solenoid valve is closed to store ultra-high pressure gas in the gas cylinder. At this time, the solenoid valve is opened, and the high-pressure gas suddenly flows into the air pressure chamber, causing the suspension to suddenly extend, thereby lifting the handlebars to achieve the jumping movement of the vehicle body. The jumping movement of the motorcycle can be used to cross small gullies, low walls or roadblocks. In some special scenes such as mountains, it can be used to approach the target unexpectedly or escape quickly. For example, in firefighting activities in special terrains such as wildfires, firefighters can use motorcycles to quickly and efficiently transport materials and personnel, while also jumping over obstacles such as gullies and earth slopes to save time.

[0061] In this embodiment, in order to achieve all-round observation, the observation and reconnaissance system is installed with two stepper motors 71 and 711. The output shaft of the first stepper motor 71 is connected to the rotating platform 75 through the motor flange 74, thereby ensuring the horizontal rotation of the rotating platform. A bracket 76 is installed on the rotating platform 75, and the inner side of the bracket is a pitch cradle 710 for realizing the pitch movement of the binocular depth camera 79. One side of the pitch cradle 710 is driven by the stepper motor 711, and the other side has a stepped shaft fixed in the bearing embedded in the inner side of the side plate of the bracket 76, so that the camera can be pitched. At the same time, a laser radar 78 is installed on the outer side of the bracket to enable the reconnaissance robot to perceive the surrounding environment and realize functions such as path planning. The binocular depth camera 79 is installed on the pitch cradle 710 to obtain surrounding environment information in real time and realize target recognition function.

[0062] Motion control system: The control system consists of a host computer and a slave computer;

[0063] The upper computer is used to receive, process and analyze the data transmitted by the upper perception system to achieve real-time monitoring and reconnaissance of the target area, including detection of road conditions and tracking of targets, and convert the obtained information into control quantity and transmit it to the lower computer;

[0064] The lower computer is used to control the stepper motor of the upper perception system according to the control quantity so that it can track the target in real time; at the same time, it observes the road condition information to control the softness and hardness of the suspension to avoid excessive impact to damage the vehicle body structure, and can perform jumping motion control under necessary conditions such as obstacle crossing.

[0065] In this embodiment, the drag distance control module and the lower computer may be integrated into one, and both may be implemented with common hardware.

[0066] In this embodiment, the lower computer 77 for controlling the first stepper motor 71 and the second stepper motor 711 may be disposed in the bracket 76 .

[0067] In this embodiment, the host computer also needs to receive various state parameters of the unmanned motorcycle base platform and map information obtained by laser radar scanning to ensure that the unmanned motorcycle can realize functions such as path planning and automatic driving during stable driving.

[0068] The embodiment of the present application integrates the above-mentioned transformable unmanned motorcycle, pneumatic active suspension, upper-level perception system and motion control system to form an unmanned transformable motorcycle and its motion control system for extreme working conditions.
