Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of robots and control technology, and relates to an intelligent multi-wheel driving device in a large pipeline and a control method. Background Art

[0002] In the pipeline construction industry, especially in the construction of long-distance oil and gas pipelines, welding technology plays a vital role. However, with the continuous advancement of science and technology, traditional manual welding can no longer meet the needs of modern machinery manufacturing. The emergence of intelligent welding technology makes the welding process more precise, efficient and reliable. When welding pressure steel pipes, the construction progress is often slow due to the complexity of the construction environment and the shortage of welding workers. Traditional pipeline welding generally uses large scaffolding, which is difficult to construct and has a heavy labor burden, low efficiency and low intelligence.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of mobile equipment that supports pressure pipe welding in scenarios involving large steel pipes (radial length of 6 meters or more). The welding of large pressure steel pipes still relies on manual welding. At the same time, in the field of hydropower station construction, the installation and construction of inclined shaft pressure steel pipes has always adopted traditional construction methods. Traditional construction methods are restricted by factors such as construction site conditions and construction period, and the degree of digital and intelligent construction is relatively low.

[0004] The driving force of the existing pipeline robot is insufficient, especially when heavy operations (such as grinding) are required, the existing pipeline robot often cannot provide sufficient traction or carrying capacity. For example, when some robots pass through a bend, the contact point between the driving wheel and the inner wall of the pipe is inconsistent, causing the driving wheel to slip, thereby affecting the stability of the robot and increasing the motor load. In addition, when operating in a complex pipeline environment, its positioning accuracy is often not accurate enough. This is mainly because the control method of the driving device is complex and the real-time performance is poor, resulting in a decrease in the robot's positioning and obstacle-crossing capabilities when encountering irregular pipe walls or turns. In addition, the existing pipeline robot driving device has a complex structure and a cumbersome control method. For example, some robots use a gear differential to achieve drive adjustment, but this design is not only large in size, but also has a high manufacturing cost. Finally, many pipeline robots fail to fully consider the carrying capacity during design, resulting in poor performance when performing heavy tasks. For example, although some robots can adapt to pipes with larger diameters, their carrying capacity is obviously insufficient when they need to carry a large load for operation. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an intelligent multi-wheel drive device and a control method in a large pipeline, which can adapt to the changeable and complex pipeline environment and complete various tasks performed in the pipeline.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an intelligent multi-wheel drive device in a large pipeline, which includes an operating cabin arranged in the main structure of the mobile device, the operating device controller is located at one end of the main structure of the mobile device, a plurality of mounting seats are arranged on the main structure of the mobile device and connected to the retractable hydraulic rod, a hub motor drive wheel is arranged at the retractable end of the retractable hydraulic rod, and a shock-absorbing compensation spring is arranged between the retractable hydraulic rod and the hub motor drive wheel; a plurality of supporting mechanisms are arranged at one end of the main structure of the mobile device.

It mainly transmits the force between the welding robot and the inner wall of the pipe, which is of great significance for stable driving and accurate positioning. Compared with the magic tire model, the Dugoff tire model has the advantages of fewer parameters and less calculation. Therefore, the Dugoff tire model is used to characterize the interaction between the tire and the inner wall of the pipe. The model expression is: ; ; in is the longitudinal force of the wheel; is the wheel lateral force; is the longitudinal stiffness of the tire; is the lateral stiffness of the tire; is the friction coefficient between the wheel and the inner wall of the pipe; is the vertical load on the tire; is the longitudinal slip rate; is the slip angle (the angle between the actual direction of movement of the tire and the direction in which it is pointed); is the correction function; the tire model is transformed into a normalized form: ; The input of the tire model includes the slip rate, sideslip angle and vertical load of each tire. The sideslip angle and slip rate of each wheel are calculated as follows: ; ; The vertical load of each wheel can be calculated from the longitudinal and lateral accelerations as follows: ; Where h is the height of the vehicle's center of mass; The double unscented Kalman filter (DUKF) algorithm is used to realize the real-time estimation of the adhesion coefficient of the pipeline welding robot.

Construct the adhesion coefficient observer of the inner wall of the welded pipe and select is the system state vector, is the system observation vector, is the system control quantity, and the nonlinear discrete system expression of the adhesion coefficient of the inner wall of the welded pipe is: ; ; ; Where: ; ; ; .

[0010] The unscented Kalman filter uses sampling methods to construct a point set with constant mean and covariance to approximate a nonlinear system. In essence, it replaces the nonlinear system itself with an approximation of the probability density of the nonlinear system, making it suitable for the standard Kalman filter structure under the linear assumption, including: UT transformation, Based on the traceless transformation principle, dimensional state vector , using the symmetric sampling method, construct indivual Point Set: ; In the above formula, for Sampling point state quantity, , are the mean and covariance of the input state quantities at past moments, express The matrix List, is the scaling factor, usually represents the proportionality coefficient, Representation and The scale factor related to the sampling point distribution is taken here ; Calculate each Sampling point weights: ; In the formula, , For the The mean and covariance weights of the sampling points; Represents a non-negative weight value, here we take .

[0011] It also includes time updates; based on The state prediction update of the sampling point at the moment Moment state mean and covariance: ; ; ; Use UT transformation again to construct a new Sampling point set: .

[0034] The dynamic model of the driving wheel is derived by analyzing the force on each wheel. Considering the low driving speed and ignoring the air resistance, the following is obtained based on the balance of torque: ; ; In the formula, is the wheel longitudinal force, N; is the motor output torque, N·m; is the wheel speed, ; J w is the equivalent moment of inertia of the rotating part of the wheel hub, kg·m 2 ; is the vertical interference term; According to the kinetic energy theorem of theoretical mechanics, when various energy losses are ignored, the total kinetic energy of the equivalent component is equal to the sum of the kinetic energy of each part, which can be expressed as follows: ; Where J s is the moment of inertia of each rotating component in the wheel rim, kg·m 2 ; is the speed of each rotating component. The tire is the part that directly contacts the inner wall of the pipe with the mobile platform. It mainly transmits the force between the welding robot and the inner wall of the pipe, which is of great significance for stable driving and accurate positioning. Compared with the magic tire model, the Dugoff tire model has the advantages of fewer parameters and less calculation. Therefore, the Dugoff tire model is used to characterize the interaction between the tire and the inner wall of the pipe. The model expression is: ; ; Transform the tire model into normalized form: ; in is the longitudinal force of the wheel; is the wheel lateral force; is the longitudinal stiffness of the tire; is the lateral stiffness of the tire; is the friction coefficient between the wheel and the inner wall of the pipe; is the vertical load on the tire; is the longitudinal slip rate; is the slip angle (the angle between the actual direction of movement of the tire and the direction in which it is pointed); is a correction function; the input of the tire model includes the slip rate, sideslip angle and vertical load of each tire. The calculation formula of the sideslip angle and slip rate of each wheel is as follows: ; ; The vertical load of each wheel can be calculated from the longitudinal and lateral accelerations as follows: ; Where h is the height of the vehicle's center of mass.

[0035] Embodiment 2, This patent adopts the double unscented Kalman filter (DUKF) algorithm to realize the real-time estimation of the adhesion coefficient of the pipeline welding robot's driving pipeline. Combined with the estimated values ​​of the speed and acceleration of the pipeline welding robot, the UKF road adhesion coefficient observer is used to realize the real-time estimation of the adhesion coefficient of each wheel of the pipeline welding robot.

The specific steps are as follows: (1) UT transformation Based on the traceless transformation principle, dimensional state vector , using the symmetric sampling method, construct indivual Point set: ; In the above formula, for Sampling point state quantity, , are the mean and covariance of the input state quantities at past moments, express The matrix List, is the scaling factor, usually represents the proportionality coefficient, Representation and The scale factor related to the sampling point distribution is taken here .

[0037] Calculate each Sampling point weights: ; In the formula, , For the The mean and covariance weights of the sampling points; Represents a non-negative weight value, here we take .

At the same time, the oscillation of the slip rate will cause the driving torque to tremble, reducing the smoothness of the vehicle's driving. Integral coefficient K IThe size of K determines the steady-state error between the actual wheel slip rate and the optimal slip rate. I A larger value will cause the system to respond more slowly. Differential coefficient K D The size of determines the overshoot of the actual slip rate. The target value of the driving torque is adjusted according to the change rate of the slip rate error to reduce the oscillation of the actual slip rate.
