Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots and relates to a humanoid mechanical double arm with seven degrees of freedom. Background Art

[0002] The design of humanoid robotic arms is inspired by the physiological structure and movement of humans, which makes them highly flexible and adaptable, able to simulate the structure and movement of human arms and complete various complex movements. In addition, the interactivity and intelligence of humanoid robotic arms also make them suitable for a variety of scenarios, such as home services, medical rehabilitation and other daily life areas.

[0003] However, the existing humanoid robotic arms have some obvious shortcomings, for example: the flipping movement of their forearms is equivalent to rotational movement, which deviates from the flipping movement of human forearms, and the structural anthropomorphism is still quite different; their shoulder joints are mostly connecting rods or hinged structures, which deviate from the human ball and socket structure. Although the design and function imitate the human arm as much as possible, in actual use, the load capacity of the connecting rod or hinged structure is very limited, and generally can only carry light goods within the tolerable range; for the rope-driven humanoid robotic arm, the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints are integral structures with relatively complex layouts, and the rope arrangement is relatively cumbersome, and it is easy to cause rope coupling; and the joint motors, reducers and other devices are arranged on the moving robotic arm, resulting in limited response speed and low work efficiency.

[0021] The above-mentioned drivers all include: a servo motor, a harmonic reducer and a rope-driven rotary or flexible shaft rotary disc. The fixed part of the harmonic reducer is fixed to the servo electric installation hole with screws, the rotating part of the harmonic reducer is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor through a key, and the power output part of the harmonic reducer is fixed to the rope-driven rotary disc or the flexible shaft rotary disc with screws.

[0022] One end of the flexible shaft 6 is connected to the driver, and the other end is connected to the rope drive mechanism 5 of each joint. When the driver rotates, the torque is transmitted to the flexible shaft 6, and the flexible shaft 6 transmits the torque to the rope drive mechanism 5 of the corresponding joint. The rope drive mechanism 6 drives the movement of each joint.

[0023] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, the upper arm 3 includes: an upper arm skeleton, and an upper arm spherical joint 3.7 and an elbow upper arm hinge joint 3.1 respectively connected at the front and rear ends of the upper arm skeleton; a plurality of flexible shaft fixers 3.5 are arranged on the outer wall of the main body of the upper arm skeleton for fixing the flexible shaft 6 passing therethrough; an elbow joint rope drive mechanism 3.2 is arranged at the elbow upper arm hinge joint 3.1.

[0024] The structure of the upper arm skeleton includes: an upper arm section 1 3.6 and an upper arm section 2 3.3. The upper arm section 1 3.6 and the upper arm section 2 3.3 are connected by a bearing 3.10. To prevent the upper arm section 1 3.6 and the upper arm section 2 3.3 from being separated, an end cover 3.8 is provided inside the upper arm section 1 3.6 and is fastened to the upper arm section 2 3.3 by a bolt 3.9. An upper arm inner and outer rotation rope drive mechanism 3.4 is provided on the upper arm section 1 3.6. The driving rope of the upper arm inner and outer rotation rope drive mechanism 3.4 is wound around the upper arm section 2 3.3. The upper arm inner and outer rotation rope drive mechanism 3.4 is driven to rotate by the double-arm inner and outer rotation driver group, thereby driving the upper arm section 2 3.3 to rotate around the upper arm section 1 3.6.

[0025] The shoulder joint 2 comprises: a shoulder spherical joint body, a shoulder joint interface 2.5 is provided at the front end of the shoulder spherical joint body, and the shoulder joint interface 2.5 is connected to the chest interface 1.16 through a mounting pin; a connecting bowl 2.4 is provided at the rear end of the shoulder spherical joint body and is connected to the upper arm spherical joint 3.7 through the connecting bowl 2.4.

[0026] The outer side walls of the shoulder spherical joint body and the upper arm spherical joint 3.7 are respectively surrounded by a fixed pulley group 2.3 and a movable pulley group 2.1, which are arranged in front and back corresponding positions and are connected by a driving rope group 2.2. The ropes of the driving rope group 2.2 are connected to the double arm abduction and adduction drive group and the double arm flexion and extension drive group respectively through the steering pulley group 1.3. The connecting bowl 2.4 of the shoulder spherical joint body is movably connected with the upper arm spherical joint 3.7 through the pulling force of the driving rope group 2.2.

[0027] Specifically, the connecting bowl 2.4 is a structure with ball holes at both ends of the cylinder, which can cooperate with the shoulder spherical joint body and the upper arm spherical joint 3.7. A set of fixed pulleys 2.3 and a movable pulley 2.1 constitute a set of rope drive mechanisms, and there are 4 sets of rope drive mechanisms in total. The two pulleys in the corresponding positions constitute the shoulder flexion and extension and adduction and abduction movements. When the double arm abduction and adduction drive group and the double arm flexion and extension drive group cooperate to drive the fixed pulley 2.3 and the movable pulley 2.1, the shoulder spherical joint body, the connecting bowl 2.4 and the upper arm spherical joint 3.7 will slide relative to each other. A wire locker 2.6 is provided on the fixed pulley 2.3, and the wire locker 2.6 fixes one end of the rope, and the other end of the rope passes around the movable pulley 2.1 and then passes around the fixed pulley 2.3 again, and then after being wound on the rope drive turntable, it passes through the pulley group on the corresponding wall, and finally the other end of the rope is fixed on the wire locker 2.6. The bottom of the flexible shaft fixer 3.5 is fixed to the upper arm bone by two semicircular rings interlocking with each other, and the upper part has an arc-shaped notch, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the flexible shaft, and the flexible shaft is clamped by the material deformation of the flexible shaft fixer 3.5. The elbow joint rope drive mechanism 3.2 is composed of an elbow joint capstan and a guide roller member, and the elbow joint capstan cooperates with the output of the double-arm elbow joint flexion and extension driver group, and can rotate under the drive of the flexible shaft 6 controlled by it.

[0028] The middle section of the rope is wound around the rope-driven turntable in the double-arm flexion and extension driver group, and the two extended ropes are respectively connected to the corresponding movable pulley group 2.1 and fixed pulley group 2.3 in the front and back. The rope first passes around the pulley of the fixed pulley group 2.3, passes around the pulley of the movable pulley group 2.1, and then returns to the fixed pulley group 2.3, and is fixed to the fixed pulley group 2.1 by the wire locker 2.6. When the double-arm flexion and extension driver group rotates forward or reverse, the rope is driven to lengthen or shorten, thereby further increasing or decreasing the distance between the same matching movable pulley group 2.1 and fixed pulley group 2.3, thereby driving the flexion and extension movement of the robotic arm. Similarly, the double-arm abduction and adduction driver group can realize the adduction and abduction movement of the humanoid robotic arm through the above-mentioned similar process, which will not be elaborated here.

[0029] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the forearm 4 includes: an elbow joint interface 4.10, an elbow joint drive ring 4.11, a forearm ball joint 4.9, a radius 4.7, an ulna 4.8, a palmar joint 1 4.3, a palmar joint 2 4.2, a palmar joint 3 4.1, a wrist joint radial flexion and ulnar flexion capstan 4.4, and a wrist joint extension and flexion capstan 4.5. One end of the ulna 4.8 is fixedly arranged with the elbow joint interface 4.10, and the other end is a ball head structure and a flip capstan 4.6 is arranged on the side of the end, and the flip capstan 4.6 is driven and connected by the double-arm wrist joint left-hand and right-hand drive group through a flexible shaft 6.

[0030] The elbow joint driving ring 4.11 is a circular ring structure arranged in the middle of the inner concave surface of the elbow joint interface 4.10. A rope groove for adapting the rope is provided in the middle of the outer ring of the circular ring structure. A ball socket is provided on the outer side of the elbow joint interface 4.10. The depth of the ball socket joint is greater than its radius, so that the ball head adapted to be connected with it is always in the ball socket. The elbow joint interface 4.10 is split into two parts at the center plane of the ball socket, and bolts are used to fasten them.

[0031] One end of the radius 4.7 is provided with a single ball head, which is embedded in the ball socket of the elbow joint interface 4.10 to form the forearm ball joint 4.9. The other end of the radius 4.7 is provided with two ball heads with a certain distance. The two ends of the rope extending from the upper arm 3 through the elbow joint winch and the guide roller are respectively wound around the two directions of the rope groove and fixed on the two wire lockers thereon, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 .

[0032] like Fig.12 As shown, the front end of the metacarpal joint 4.3 is provided with three ball sockets, which are divided into three parts by the center plane of the three ball sockets, and bolts are used to fasten them. The depth of the three ball sockets is greater than the radius, so that the ball heads of the ulna 4.8 and the radius 4.7 are always in the ball sockets, and the rear end of the metacarpal joint 4.3 is provided with two ball heads. The ball head of the ulna 4.8 and the two ball heads of the radius 4.7 are hingedly matched with the three ball sockets of the metacarpal joint 4.3.

[0033] like Fig.13 As shown, the front end of the second palm joint 4.2 is provided with a double ball socket and a second joint drive ring, and the rear end is provided with a hinge structure. The second palm joint 4.2 is split into two parts by the center plane, and bolts are used to fasten between them. The depth of the ball socket is greater than its radius, so that the ball head of the first palm joint 4.3 is always in the ball socket. The second palm joint 4.2 is connected to the first palm joint 4.3 through two ball heads. The first palm joint 4.3 is provided with a wrist joint extension and flexion capstan 4.5. After the rope on the wrist joint extension and flexion capstan 4.5 is turned through the pulley, it is wound behind the second joint drive ring and fixed by a wire locker.

[0034] The front end of the metacarpal joint 4.1 is hingedly connected to the metacarpal joint 4.2 and is provided with a joint 3 driving ring, and the rear end is fixed to the manipulator 7. The metacarpal joint 4.2 is provided with a wrist joint radial flexion and ulnar flexion capstan 4.4, and the rope on the wrist joint radial flexion and ulnar flexion capstan 4.4 is fixed to the metacarpal joint 4.1 through a wire locker after the rope is wound around the joint 3 driving line.

[0035] The middle section of the rope is wound around the elbow joint rope drive mechanism 3.2, and the two extended ropes are symmetrically passed around the two ends of the elbow joint drive ring 4.11 and fixed by the wire locker. When the elbow joint rope drive mechanism 3.2 rotates under the drive of the flexible shaft 6, the rope is extended or shortened, and then the forearm 4 is driven to rotate around the upper arm 3. The reverse movement of the forearm 4, the extension and flexion of the wrist joint, and the radial and ulnar flexion of the wrist joint are similar.

[0036] In summary, the arm of the present invention sets the position of the upper arm 3 near the shoulder as a spherically opposed structure, and adds a rotatable inward and outward rotation rope drive mechanism on the upper arm to further realize all-round flexible movement, and sets a ball-and-socket structure at the wrist of the forearm 4, so that the movement of the connected palm is more flexible, the simulation effect of the human arm movement is improved, and complex movements can be effectively completed. In addition, the forearm 4 of the present invention adopts a double skeleton rod, and then cooperates with the realization of the flexible shaft drive to improve the load capacity of the arm, and sets and uses ropes at each joint, which simplifies the overall layout of the rope and prevents its coupling disorder. At the same time, the present invention sets corresponding actuators for the flexible shaft drive and the rope drive, and the coordinated operation of the two can effectively improve the efficiency of rope replacement, rope drive mechanism maintenance and drive system.

[0037] The above is only a preferred implementation case of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the implementation process of the present invention is described in detail above, for those familiar with the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above examples, or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents.
