When the robot walks normally, the first auxiliary wheel is retracted to the side of the robot's leg and arm. When encountering uphill and downhill slopes, or when the robot's center of gravity is about to get out of control, the auxiliary wheel is unfolded to play an auxiliary support role to assist in adjusting the robot's center of gravity; at the same time, when the robot's center of gravity gets out of control and topples over, the first auxiliary wheel can also be used to assist the robot to get up; and this type of auxiliary device can be flexibly installed on the existing robot's leg and arm for use.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting seat 20 is connected to the robot leg arm 12 through the lifting mechanism 4, and the lifting mechanism 4 is configured to drive the first connecting seat 20 to lift and lower along the length direction of the robot leg arm 12; the lifting mechanism 4 includes an upper connecting seat 40, a lower connecting seat 41, a screw rod 42, and a first motor 43.

When the second motor 53 drives the worm 52 to rotate, the first worm gear 50 and the second worm gear 51 rotate synchronously in opposite directions to adjust the angle between the first wheel arm 30 and the second wheel arm 32.

[0039] In some embodiments, at least one of the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 is configured to be able to move actively. In this embodiment, the second auxiliary wheel 33 is configured to be able to move actively, that is, a third motor 34 (such as a motor 36) is provided between the second auxiliary wheel and the second wheel arm. Figure 7 as shown).

[0040] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 A robot walking system is shown, comprising a leg base 10 for connecting to the robot body, two thigh arms 11 rotatably connected to the leg base 10, each thigh arm 11 is rotatably connected to a robot leg arm 12, each robot leg arm 12 is provided with an auxiliary device 2, and the lower end of each robot leg arm 12 is provided with an active walking wheel 13; the leg base 10 is provided with a main power 14 for driving the thigh arm 11 to rotate, and the thigh arm 11 is provided with a driving mechanism 15 for driving the robot leg arm 12 to rotate.

[0041] The driving mechanism 15 includes a driving motor 150 fixed to the upper end of the thigh arm 11, an eccentric seat 151 connected to the driving motor 150, a driving rod 152 is arranged between the eccentric seat 151 and the robot leg arm 12, and the two ends of the driving rod 152 are respectively connected to the eccentric seat 151 and the robot leg arm 12 for rotation; the rotation points of the thigh arm 11 and the leg seat 10, the rotation points of the thigh arm 11 and the robot leg arm 12, and the rotation points at both ends of the driving rod 152 constitute the four vertices of the parallelogram. The driving motor drives the driving rod to realize the rotation between the robot leg arm and the thigh arm, and then adjusts the bending angle of the robot leg arm to change the robot posture, center of gravity height, and center of gravity position.

[0042] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the thigh arm 11 is U-shaped, and the eccentric seat 151 and the driving rod 152 are both disposed inside the thigh arm 11 .

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the robot leg arm 12 is provided with long slot through holes 120 distributed along the length direction, the upper connecting seat 40 is fixed at the upper end of the long slot through hole 120, the lower connecting seat 41 is fixed at the lower end of the long slot through hole 120, and the screw rod 42 is located in the long slot through hole 120; U-shaped sliders 22 are fixed on both sides of the first connecting seat 20, and the U-shaped sliders 22 are inserted into the two side walls of the long slot through hole 120 to form a sliding connection. This installation method of the auxiliary device makes the overall structure compact and stable, and the distance between the center of gravity of the auxiliary device and the robot leg arm is smaller.

[0044] In some embodiments, a third connecting seat 23 is fixedly provided on the side of the first connecting seat 20, and electromagnets 24 are fixedly provided at both ends of the third connecting seat 23. The adsorption surface of the electromagnet 24 faces the side of the robot leg arm 12 and forms a preset gap with the side of the robot leg arm 12. The robot leg arm 12 is configured as a ferromagnet or a ferromagnet is fixedly provided on the robot leg arm 12 corresponding to the adsorption surface of the electromagnet 24; when the first connecting seat 20 moves to the preset position along the long slot through hole 120, the electromagnet 24 is energized and adsorbed on the robot leg arm 12.

[0045] The rotating power 21, the first motor 43, the second motor 53, the third motor 34, the main power 14, and the drive motor 150 in this embodiment all adopt reduction motors. The specific model, size, and performance of the reduction motor can be selected by technical personnel in this field according to the actual needs of the above-mentioned application scenarios.

[0046] The active walking wheel 13 is arranged on one side of the robot leg arm 12, and the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 are arranged on the other side of the robot leg arm 12, and the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 are not coplanar. For example, the active walking wheel 13 is set on the inner side of the robot leg arm, the first auxiliary wheel is arranged on the outer side of the robot leg arm, and the second auxiliary wheel is arranged on the outer side of the first auxiliary wheel; Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the active walking wheel 13 is arranged on the outside of the robot leg arm 12, the first auxiliary wheel 31 is arranged on the inside of the robot leg arm 12 and installed on the outside of the first wheel arm 30, and the second auxiliary wheel 33 is installed on the inside of the second wheel arm, so that the active walking wheel 13, the first auxiliary wheel 31, and the second auxiliary wheel 33 are staggered (i.e., not coplanar). This arrangement makes the overall structure compact on the one hand, and makes the weight on both sides of the robot leg arm better balanced on the other hand. Thirdly, when the two active walking wheels 13 and the two first auxiliary wheels 31 are in contact with the ground at the same time (such as Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the contact points of the four wheels with the ground form the vertices of an isosceles trapezoid. Similarly, when the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 are in Fig.15 In the state shown, the contact points of the four wheels with the ground also form the vertices of an isosceles trapezoid. In this state, walking is more stable and rollover is less likely to occur.

[0047] Combined with the accompanying drawings, the principle of the present invention is as follows: the auxiliary device 2 is integrated into the (two-legged wheeled walking mechanism) robot walking system, which solves the defect of insufficient stability while meeting the requirements of mobility and flexibility. Fig.10 As shown, the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 are retracted inside the robot leg arm 12, and only two active walking wheels 13 are in contact with the ground. This state is suitable for flat walking; Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, in order to further improve the walking stability of the robot or the surface is relatively rough (even with slight ups and downs), the lifting mechanism 4 drives the first connecting seat 20 to descend, and then adjusts the angle of the second connecting seat 3 through the rotating power 21, so that the first auxiliary wheel 31 (or the second auxiliary wheel 33) is in contact with the ground. At this time, the first auxiliary wheel 31 cooperates with the active walking wheel 13 to walk, thereby improving the walking stability; as shown in FIG. Fig.13As shown, when going uphill or downhill, the angle of the second connecting seat 3 is adjusted by the rotating power 21, so that the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the active walking wheel 13 are adapted to the angle of the slope, and the bending angle between the thigh arm 11 and the robot leg arm 12 is adjusted by the driving mechanism 15 to lower the overall center of gravity and adjust the center of gravity to the position between the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the active walking wheel 13, thereby improving the stability of going uphill or downhill; when the active walking wheel 13 is damaged and cannot actively walk, the auxiliary device is adjusted to Fig.14 , Fig.15 In the state shown, the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 are in contact with the ground, and the active running wheel 13 is separated from the ground. Since the second auxiliary wheel 33 can actively run, even if the active running wheel is damaged, the whole can still run as usual. Fig.15 The state shown is walking on a flat surface.

[0048] like Fig.16 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the uphill state using the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33. The center of the first auxiliary wheel 31 is set as point A, and the center of the second auxiliary wheel 33 is set as point B. The dotted line CD in the figure is the vertical position of the center of gravity of the robot, and point E is the center point of the dotted line AB. When the dotted line CD passes through point E, the center of gravity of the robot is at the vertical center position of the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33, and the robot is in the most stable walking state at this time. In this structure, the positions of the first auxiliary wheel 31 and the second auxiliary wheel 33 can be adjusted by rotating power, and then the position of point E can be changed so that point E falls on the dotted line CD to improve the walking stability of the robot. Through the auxiliary device to coordinate the angle adjustment of the thigh arm and the robot leg arm, the robot walking system can adapt to various road conditions. At the same time, when the robot falls, it can also use the auxiliary mechanism to assist in getting up, that is, by adding support points through the first auxiliary wheel and the second auxiliary wheel, a support surface is determined by three points, and the position of the support point can be changed at the same time, so that the center of gravity falls on the support surface, and the robot automatically stands up.
