Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robot technology, in particular to a coaxial double-propeller air-to-ground dual-purpose robot. Background Art

[0002] Air-to-ground dual-purpose robots have shown broad application potential in search and rescue, exploration, inspection and other fields. The maneuverability and endurance of the aircraft are directly related to the effectiveness of task completion. In recent years, many teams have made significant progress in this field, among which the research on cage-type and wheeled air-to-ground dual-purpose robot configurations is particularly prominent. Relevant researchers from Tsinghua University designed a wheeled aircraft that combines a rotor with an Ackerman chassis, which successfully achieved continuous movement between air and ground. The cage-structured air-to-ground dual-purpose aircraft studied by the team of the Illinois Institute of Technology consists of a four-rotor aircraft and a cylindrical cage, which enhances the obstacle crossing capability. In the above research, the maneuverability and endurance of the air-to-ground dual-purpose aircraft have been improved to a certain extent, but there is still much room for improvement.

[0003] The aerial movement of hybrid air-to-ground dual-purpose aircraft is usually driven by rotors, and its energy efficiency is closely related to the number and layout of rotors. According to the actuator disc theory, under the same load, the larger the turntable area, the lower the propeller load per unit area, and the higher the hovering efficiency. Therefore, the twin-rotor UAV has the highest hovering efficiency and the lowest energy consumption at the same take-off weight and effective size. In this configuration, the UAV controls the rotor tilt through a servo motor and uses vector thrust to control the fuselage attitude. From the perspective of rotor layout, twin-rotor UAVs are mainly divided into coaxial type and "split-axis" type (horizontal type). Among them, the "split-axis" type has been widely studied, while the coaxial type has been less studied and usually has complex structural redundancy. However, relevant studies have shown that under the same effective size, the coaxial twin-rotor has lower power consumption, more compact structure, and better passability.

[0004] The coaxial design not only improves the performance of the hybrid air-ground dual-purpose aircraft in terms of maneuverability and endurance, but also makes it possible to achieve variable center of mass rolling on the ground. In previous studies, hybrid air-ground dual-purpose aircraft mostly use active wheel drive or wind-driven passive wheel rolling. Although active wheel drive is effective, the wheel structure is relatively redundant and the energy loss is large; and although wind propulsion has high energy efficiency, it has poor ground maneuverability, and the rotation of the rotor will cause additional energy loss. In fact, relevant studies have shown that achieving ground movement through variable center of mass can effectively improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce energy loss. Therefore, applying the variable center of mass structure to the ground movement of air-ground dual-purpose aircraft will help to further improve its endurance. Summary of the invention

[0043] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present embodiment provides a coaxial double-propeller air-to-ground dual-purpose robot, comprising: a ball cage structure 1, a pitch servo 20, a first carbon splint mechanism 2, a roll servo 22, a pitch fixing seat 31, a coaxial double motor 25, double propeller blades 24, a second carbon splint mechanism 3, a ball cage servo 36, a ball cage fixing seat 35 and a lithium battery 34.

[0045] The ball cage structure 1 is a cage-shaped rotating body structure, and the two axial ends of the ball cage structure 1 are semi-spherical structures respectively.

[0046] The pitch servo 20 is arranged in the pitch fixing seat 31, and the pitch fixing seat 31 is hinged at one axial end in the ball cage structure 1. The pitch servo 20 is transmission-connected with one end of the first carbon splint mechanism 2, and the pitch servo 20 is used to drive the first carbon splint mechanism 2 to rotate around the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1. The first carbon splint mechanism 2 is arranged along the axis of the ball cage structure 1.

[0047] The roll servo 22 is arranged at the first carbon splint mechanism 2, the coaxial dual motor 25 is arranged at the roll servo 22, the roll servo 22 is used to drive the coaxial dual motor 25 to swing back and forth along the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1, the double blades 24 are arranged above the coaxial dual motor 25 and are connected to the coaxial dual motor 25 in a one-to-one transmission manner, the coaxial dual motor 25 is used to drive the double blades 24 to rotate differentially, and the coaxial dual motor 25 is arranged at the center of the ball cage structure 1.

[0048] The ball cage servo 36 is fixed in the ball cage fixing seat 35, and the ball cage fixing seat 35 is arranged at the other axial end in the ball cage structure 1. The ball cage servo 36 is transmission-connected with the other end of the ball cage structure 1, and the ball cage servo 36 is used to drive the ball cage fixing seat 35 to rotate around the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1. The other end of the first carbon splint mechanism 2 is hinged to the ball cage fixing seat 35.

[0049] The lithium battery 34 is arranged at the second carbon splint mechanism 3 below the coaxial dual motor 25, one end of the second carbon splint mechanism 3 is connected to the pitch fixing seat 31, and the other end of the second carbon splint mechanism 3 is connected to the ball cage fixing seat 35.

[0050] The lithium battery 34 is connected to the pitch servo 20 , the roll servo 22 , the coaxial dual motor 25 and the ball cage servo 36 , respectively.

[0051] During the flight, the coaxial dual motors 25 drive the dual blades 24 to perform differential operation, providing sufficient flight power for the robot, and the roll servo 22 drives the coaxial dual motors 25 to swing, controlling the robot's roll, and the pitch servo 20 drives the first carbon splint mechanism 2 to rotate around the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1, driving the dual blades 24 to perform pitch rotation. In this process, the other end of the first carbon splint mechanism 2 is hinged to the ball cage fixing seat 35, ensuring that the first carbon splint mechanism 2 rotates smoothly around the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1.

[0052] When the robot is moving on the ground, the ball cage servo 36 is used to drive the second carbon splint mechanism 3 to rotate or swing forward, so that the lithium battery 34 located at the lower center of the ball cage structure 1 is in a forward tilting state. At this time, the overall center of mass of the robot is tilted forward, and the ball cage structure 1 is a horizontally placed rotating body structure. At this time, under the action of gravity, the forward-tilted lithium battery 34 drives the ball cage structure 1 to roll forward, so that the robot moves forward, and the robot moves backward on the contrary. In addition, during the forward and backward movement, the coaxial dual motor 25 and the double blades 24 are controlled by the roll servo 22 to swing left and right, and the double blades 24 are rotated accordingly. At the same time, the two axial ends of the ball cage structure 1 are respectively hemispherical structures, so that the ball cage structure 1 can be deflected left and right accordingly, so that the robot turns left and right. In addition, in this process, one end of the second carbon splint mechanism 3 is hinged with the pitch fixing seat 31 to ensure that the second carbon splint mechanism 3 rotates smoothly around the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1.

[0053] In this way, the present invention uses the second carbon splint mechanism 3, the ball cage servo 36, the ball cage fixing seat 35 and the lithium battery 34 to achieve a smaller driving force to tilt the center of mass. After the center of mass of the robot tilts, gravity is used to provide a driving force for the ground movement of the robot. This improves the ground endurance of the air-ground dual-purpose robot for a long time. Realizing ground movement by changing the center of mass can effectively improve energy utilization efficiency and reduce energy loss.

[0054] In addition, the first carbon splint mechanism 2 is arranged along the axis of the ball cage structure 1, the coaxial dual motor 25 is arranged on the first carbon splint mechanism 2, and the coaxial dual motor 25 is arranged at the center of the ball cage structure 1, so that the intersection of the pitch axis and the roll axis is coincident with the center of gravity of the coaxial dual motor 25 change structure, thereby avoiding the influence of the coaxial dual motor 25 change structure 25 on the center of gravity of the body when rotating.

[0055] In addition, the differential motion of the double blades 24 can realize the yaw motion of the robot. In the ground mode, the robot controls the rolling of the external cage structure 1 through the mass center tilting structure, and realizes the yaw motion on the ground through the differential motion of the double blades 24.

[0056] Furthermore, the coaxial double-propeller air-to-ground dual-purpose robot further comprises a detection control unit 38 and two wireless transceiver units 30.

[0057] The two wireless transceiver units 30 are respectively arranged on the top of the pitch fixing seat 31 and the ball cage fixing seat 35, and the detection control unit 38 is arranged at the lithium battery 34.

The UWB module is used to send and receive signals to the ground station, and these signals contain current posture and expected posture information.

A ball bearing 21 is embedded in the position of the other first carbon splint cross arm 26 corresponding to the pitch servo 20 to reduce rotation damping and ensure the symmetry and continuity of the pitch motion.

[0066] Furthermore, there are downwardly concave structures 261 near both ends of the first carbon splint cross arm 26 , so that the first carbon splint cross arm 26 is W-shaped in a vertical plane along the axial direction of the cage structure 1 , and the double blades 24 are used to rotate in the concave structures 261 .

[0092] The pitch servo 20, the first carbon splint mechanism 2, the roll servo 22, the pitch fixing seat 31, the coaxial dual motor 25 and the double propeller 24 in the present invention together constitute a motor direction-changing structure design, realizing the omnidirectional rotation of the coaxial dual propeller motor, so that the robot can move freely in the aerial mode.

[0093] The second carbon splint mechanism 3, the ball cage servo 36, the ball cage fixing seat 35 and the lithium battery 34 in the present invention together constitute a center of mass tilting structure design, which can ensure rapid ground movement with less energy consumption by concentrating the main weight of the robot on the lower unit and tilting it.

[0094] The cage structure 1 of the present invention wraps the body, providing support while ensuring that the robot can roll freely on the ground. In particular, the two axial ends of the cage structure 1 are semi-spherical structures, which improves the flexibility and freedom of turning of the cage structure 1. Moreover, the cage structure 1 is a cage-shaped rotating body structure, which can not only protect the internal structure of the robot, but also fully reduce the overall weight of the robot.

[0095] The main parts of the robot are planar structures and 3D printed structures, and can be directly made of lightweight and high-strength materials (such as carbon fiber plates, PA12 nylon, etc.). This design and production can greatly reduce the complexity of the production process, shorten the production time, and improve the test efficiency.

[0096] In summary, the design of the present invention ensures the high maneuverability of the robot in the air and on the ground. At the same time, the lightweight and center of mass tilting structural design can extend the endurance of the air-ground dual-purpose robot and reduce the production cost and complexity of the robot. It has high engineering application value and good engineering application prospects.

[0097] Although the disclosure is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
