Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical structures, particularly to the field of parallel robots, and specifically to a moving platform and a parallel robot of a suspended cable-driven parallel robot with a function of measuring cable tension and capable of rapid modular installation. Background Art
[0002] A cable-driven parallel robot is a robot driven by multiple cables to an end effector. The cable-driven parallel robot has the characteristics of strong load capacity, small moment of inertia and large working space, and is widely used in large equipment hoisting, aviation simulation support systems, logistics warehousing, etc.
[0003] The size of cable-driven robots is getting larger, but the requirements for fine operation are increasing day by day; in the application scenarios, large-scale suspended cable-driven parallel robots need to change different configurations under different working conditions to meet the needs of different tasks. At the same time, it is very necessary to be able to achieve precise operation. Compared with small-sized cable-driven parallel robots, due to the larger scale of the cable movement path, there are frictional forces and interference forces that are difficult to model on the cable movement path, and the mechanical properties of the cables are more complex, which significantly affects the accurate measurement of the cable tension parameters of the cable-driven parallel robot. Moreover, the cable anchoring positions of larger-scale suspended cable-driven parallel robots are relatively fixed, making it difficult to change the configuration of the cable-driven robot. Also, although the suspended cable-driven parallel robot has the ability to move in a large working space, its attitude control ability is poor. Therefore, it is very limited in many practical tasks, and the accuracy of the cable-driven parallel robot is worse than that of a rigid robotic arm.

[0041] The moving platform of the suspended cable-towed parallel robot provided by the present invention will be described in detail below. The content not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention belongs to the prior art well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For those conditions not specified in the embodiments of the present invention, they are carried out according to the conventional conditions in the art or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. For the reagents or instruments not specified by the manufacturer in the embodiments of the present invention, they are all conventional products that can be obtained through commercial purchase.
[0042] Embodiment 1
[0043] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, a moving platform of a suspended cable-towed parallel robot includes a moving platform frame 1, a modular anchoring base 2, a cable anchoring mechanism 3, a moving platform anti-falling device 4 and a robot measurement and control device.
[0044] The moving platform frame 1 described above is a hollow cube frame; it is formed by connecting profiles made of aluminum or aluminum alloy through connectors into a hollow cube structure, and its external structure dimensions can be freely determined by selecting or cutting profiles of different lengths, with a wide range of applications. At the same time, X-shaped reinforcing ribs 11 are provided on the side frames and / or upper frames of the moving platform frame 1, and the X-shaped reinforcing ribs 11 are also cut from profiles made of aluminum or aluminum alloy. Here, the X-shaped reinforcing ribs 11 are cross-designed and can withstand forces in two directions, which helps to eliminate the deformation of the mechanism and improve the accuracy of the end effector. They are generally provided on the surfaces with larger areas and no components installed, such as the upper frame and side frames. The moving platform frame 1 is made of profiles made of aluminum or aluminum alloy to ensure that it has sufficient stiffness and strength, so as to reduce the interference brought by the movement of the robotic arm to the moving platform, improve the accuracy of the end effector, and at the same time ensure that the center of gravity of the overall moving platform will not shift significantly. In some special scenarios, such as in space, the moving platform frame 1 can be made of profiles made of titanium or titanium alloy. Of course, other materials can also be used, which are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0045] As Figure 3 shown, eight corners or all of the eight corners of the hollow cube frame of the moving platform frame 1 are respectively installed with a rope anchoring mechanism 3 through a modular anchoring base 2; that is, up to eight groups of rope anchoring mechanisms 3 can be installed through the eight corners, which can fully meet the usage requirements, and the specific quantity can be installed according to needs in practice.
[0046] The modularity of the modular anchoring base 2 here means that the eight corners of the moving platform frame 1 are provided with consistent standard installation interfaces, such as bolt group holes of a certain size are opened at the eight corners, and the bolt group holes have the same size as the bolt group holes opened on the modular anchoring base 2. At the same time, bolt group holes of the same size are also used on other equipment that may be used, and other equipment that may be used includes, for example, cameras. The rope anchoring mechanisms 3 installed at the eight corners can be interchanged in position or replaced with other equipment that may be used to achieve "modular" installation.
[0047] In this example, the rope anchoring mechanism 3 is provided with a force measuring sensor 31 for measuring the rope force at the end of the rope; specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the rope anchoring mechanism 3 includes a universal connector, a force measuring sensor 31 and a rope support rod joint 32; the universal connector includes a universal anchoring joint shaft 34, an anchoring rotating block 35 and an anchoring swing arm 36.
[0048] The universal connector described above is installed on the modular anchoring base 2. Specifically, the universal anchoring joint shaft 34 is installed on the modular anchoring base 2, and they are fixedly connected therebetween. There are two bolt holes on the modular anchoring base 2, which serve as the "modular" bolt group holes for connecting with the moving platform frame 1 and can be fixed at the corresponding positions of the bolt group holes of the moving platform frame 1 and fixed by bolt connection. The part of the modular anchoring base 2 extending out of the moving platform frame 1 is provided with a hole position as the installation hole for the universal anchoring joint shaft 34, and the universal anchoring joint shaft 34 can be connected by threads. Specifically, the end of the universal anchoring joint shaft 34 is a threaded shaft end, which is screwed into the threaded hole of the modular anchoring base 2 for fixed connection, and fastening screws can be added radially to prevent loosening.
[0049] The anchoring rotating block 35 of the universal connector described above is installed on the universal anchoring joint shaft 34 through a bearing and rotates freely; specifically, there is an installation position for installing the bearing on the universal anchoring joint shaft 34, and a low-resistance roller bearing is installed. The anchoring rotating block 35 rotates freely on the roller bearing installed here, and the anchoring rotating block 35 can follow the traction direction of the rope and rotate.
[0050] The anchoring rotating block 35 is provided with a transverse shaft 37 orthogonal to the axis of the universal anchoring joint shaft 34; there is an installation position for installing the bearing on the transverse shaft 37, and two low-resistance roller bearings are installed. The anchoring swing arm 36 includes two arms, and the two arms are respectively installed at both ends of the transverse shaft 37 through two low-resistance roller bearings, realizing the universal connection of the universal connector. Of course, the universal joint structure known to the public can also be used for the universal connector here, which is within the protection scope of this patent.
[0051] One end of the force measuring sensor 31 is installed on the universal connector through the connecting rod 33 and rotates freely with the universal connector. Specifically, one end of the force measuring sensor 31 is installed on the anchoring swing arm 36 through the connecting rod 33. There is a threaded hole at the connection of the two arms of the anchoring swing arm 36. The connecting rod 33 is a double-headed stud, one end of which is connected to the threaded hole of the anchoring swing arm 36 and locked by a nut. At the same time, after adjusting the depth of the stud of the connecting rod 33 screwed into the threaded hole of the anchoring swing arm 36, it can be locked by a nut. This end of the force measuring sensor 31 is also a threaded hole, and the other end of the connecting rod 33 is connected to the threaded hole of the force measuring sensor 31 and locked by a nut. At the same time, after adjusting the depth of the stud of the connecting rod 33 screwed into the threaded hole of the force measuring sensor 31, it can be locked by a nut.
[0052] The other end of the force measuring sensor 31 is connected to the rope support rod joint 32. The connecting end of the rope support rod joint 32 and the force measuring sensor 31 is also a stud, and this end of the force measuring sensor 31 is also a threaded hole. The stud of the force measuring sensor 31 is connected to the threaded hole of the force measuring sensor 31 and can be locked by a nut. The force measuring sensor 31 measures the rope force at the end of the rope of the rope support rod joint 32.
[0053] On the other side of the rope strut joint 32, it is crimped to the end of the rope. The rope strut joint 32 has a standard unified design, which can quickly replace the force sensor 31 and change the overall configuration of the suspended rope traction parallel robot.
[0054] The force sensor 31 is a pressure sensor with an S-shaped structure that can be used for both tension and compression. It generates a small deformation due to the pressure / tension signals on both sides and converts it into an electrical signal that can be processed and then outputs. It has a wide range, simple structure, high precision, good sensitivity, fast response time, long life, can operate stably in various environments, has a good filtering effect after adding a transmitter, and can output a standard signal. It is a commonly used force sensor.
[0055] The manipulator and the moving platform anti-falling device 4 are installed on the outer side of the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1; the moving platform anti-falling device 4 protects the manipulator from damage; the moving platform anti-falling device 4 includes four support feet, and the upper ends of the support feet are respectively fixed at the four corners under the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1, and the lower ends of the support feet expand outward. The inner cavity space range of the four support feet is larger than the working space of the manipulator. Specifically, the four support feet are bent from aluminum or aluminum alloy profiles, and their lower ends expand outward to increase the floor area in contact with the ground. Their height includes the vertical working space of the manipulator, and together with the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1, it can include the planar transverse and longitudinal working spaces of the manipulator, ensuring that the inner cavity space range of the four support feet is larger than the working space of the manipulator. Therefore, it can effectively protect the structure of the manipulator and prevent the manipulator from being damaged. In some special scenarios, such as in space, the moving platform anti-falling device 4 can be made of titanium or titanium alloy profiles. Of course, other materials can also be used, which are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0056] A manipulator mounting plate 12 is provided in the middle of the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1. The manipulator mounting plate 12 is fixed to the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1, and the manipulator is installed on the lower surface. The fixing and installation methods can both use bolt connection, which will not be elaborated here. The strength of the manipulator mounting plate 12 here should meet the requirements of installing the manipulator and withstanding the working dynamic impact of the manipulator. Aluminum plastic board, aluminum board, aluminum alloy board, titanium board or titanium alloy board, etc. can be used.
[0057] The robot measurement and control device is installed on the inner side of the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1 to measure the motion parameters of the moving platform and the manipulator and control the operation of the manipulator in combination with the measured rope tension force. The robot measurement and control device includes a main industrial control computer, a moving platform industrial control computer 5, an inertial measurement unit 6 and a cable tension force measurement unit 7. At the same time, the robot measurement and control device can also include a camera, etc.
[0058] On the left and right sides of the lower frame of the moving platform frame 1 described above, there are also measurement and control device mounting plates 13. A moving platform industrial computer 5 is installed on one measurement and control device mounting plate 13, and an inertial measurement unit 6 and a cable force measurement unit 7 are installed on the other measurement and control device mounting plate 13. The cable force measurement unit 7 includes a transmitter. The fixing and installation methods can both adopt bolt connection, which will not be elaborated here. The measurement and control device mounting plate 13 here only needs to support the moving platform industrial computer 5, the inertial measurement unit 6 and the cable force measurement unit 7, and its thickness being less than that of the robotic arm mounting plate 12 can meet the usage requirements. Aluminum plastic plates, aluminum plates, aluminum alloy plates, titanium plates or titanium alloy plates, etc. can be used.
[0059] As Figure 5 shown, the robot measurement and control device includes a main industrial computer, a moving platform industrial computer 5, an inertial measurement unit 6, a cable force measurement unit 7 and a camera; the main industrial computer is installed on the ground or in the control room and does not need to be installed on the moving platform. The inertial measurement unit 6 measures the motion parameters of the moving platform, such as position, speed, acceleration, attitude, angular velocity and angular acceleration, etc.; the cable force measurement unit 7 measures the cable force of the robotic arm. Specifically, it connects a force measurement sensor 31 to transmit the measured cable force data to the main industrial computer, and the transmitter can filter the cable force data measured by the force measurement sensor 31 and convert it into a standard ethercat signal for transmission. The camera can be set at a suitable position to monitor the position and attitude of the robotic arm, the gripper and the moving platform. For example, the camera can be installed at the end of the robotic arm or on the aluminum profile frame.
[0060] The moving platform industrial computer 5 is connected to the inertial measurement unit 6 and the camera, and receives the motion parameters collected by the inertial measurement unit 6. After data processing, it forms a control signal to control the motion of the robotic arm gripper of the robot to complete more precise operation tasks. At the same time, the camera feeds back the position and attitude of the robotic arm, the gripper and the moving platform. The moving platform industrial computer 5 is also connected to the main industrial computer to accept the unified dispatch of the system.
[0061] In summary, the moving platform of a suspended cable-driven parallel robot in this example has modularly installed anchoring points with redundant sensors and is equipped with a rigid robotic arm to perform delicate operations. The cable end force sensors can complete high-precision cable force measurement, reducing the impact of interference forces on the dynamics of the cable drive chain of the cable-driven parallel robot; the quickly detachable modular anchoring points enable the cable-driven parallel robot to quickly change its configuration according to various task requirements, and can change the working space and increase the stiffness of the cable-driven parallel robot for the operation task. Installing a robotic arm on the moving platform can effectively combine the large working space of the cable-driven parallel robot and the ability of the robotic arm to complete complex operation tasks, greatly expanding the application scenarios of the cable-driven parallel robot. Compared with the moving platform design scheme of traditional cable-driven parallel robots, the moving platform scheme with variable configuration anchoring points and end cable force measurement and a robotic arm can significantly increase the working space of the robot and provide more task flexibility for the cable-driven robot.

As Figure 7 shown in Fig. [X], the main body of the rigid robotic arm 8 is a lightweight six-axis robotic arm with a standardized interface at its end, which can install various loads such as grippers and spray guns at its end, greatly expanding the working scope of the suspended cable-driven robot and completing various tasks in a large space. Its precision is higher than that of the suspended cable-driven parallel robot, and it can accurately complete industrial tasks such as picking and assembling in cooperation with the end load.
