Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robotics technology, in particular to a coaxial double-propeller air-to-ground dual-purpose robot. Background Art
[0002] Air-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 mission completion. In recent years, many teams have made significant progress in this field, among which the research on cage-type and wheeled air-ground dual-purpose robot configurations is particularly prominent. Relevant researchers from Tsinghua University designed a wheeled aircraft that combines rotors and an Ackerman chassis, successfully achieving continuous movement in the air and on the ground. The cage-structured air-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-ground dual-purpose aircraft have been improved to a certain extent, but there is still much room for improvement.
[0003] Hybrid air-to-ground vehicles typically utilize rotor propulsion for aerial maneuvers, and their energy efficiency is closely related to the number and layout of rotors. According to actuator disc theory, under the same load, the larger the rotor area, the lower the rotor load per unit area, and the higher the hovering efficiency. Therefore, twin-rotor drones offer the highest hovering efficiency and lowest energy consumption for the same takeoff weight and effective size. In this configuration, the drone uses servo motors to control rotor tilt and vector thrust to control the fuselage's attitude. In terms of rotor layout, twin-rotor drones are primarily categorized into coaxial and split-rotor (horizontal) configurations. The split-rotor configuration has been extensively studied, while the coaxial configuration has been less studied and often suffers from structural redundancy and complexity. However, relevant research has shown that, for the same effective size, coaxial twin-rotor configurations offer lower power consumption, a more compact structure, and improved maneuverability.
[0004] The coaxial design not only improves the maneuverability and endurance of hybrid air-ground vehicles, but also enables variable-center-of-mass rolling on the ground. Previous research has shown that hybrid air-ground vehicles often utilize active wheel drive or wind-driven passive wheel rolling. While active wheel drive is effective, the wheeled structure is relatively redundant and results in significant energy loss. While wind-driven propulsion is energy-efficient, it suffers from poor ground maneuverability and the rotor rotation results in additional energy loss. In fact, relevant research has demonstrated that achieving ground motion using a variable-center-of-mass method can effectively improve energy efficiency and minimize energy loss. Therefore, applying a variable-center-of-mass structure to the ground motion of air-ground vehicles will help further enhance their endurance. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" and the like indicate positions or location relationships based on the positions or location relationships during normal use of the product.
[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 specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, 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 This embodiment provides a coaxial twin-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, coaxial twin motors 25, twin 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 cage structure 1 is a cage-shaped rotating body structure, and the two axial ends of the cage structure 1 are hemispherical structures.
[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 in transmission connection with one end of the first carbon splint mechanism 2. 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, and 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 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. The coaxial dual motor 25 is arranged at the center of the cage structure 1.
[0048] The CVJ servo 36 is fixed in the CVJ fixing seat 35. The CVJ fixing seat 35 is arranged at the other axial end of the CVJ structure 1. The CVJ servo 36 is transmission-connected to the other end of the CVJ structure 1. The CVJ servo 36 is used to drive the CVJ fixing seat 35 to rotate around the axial direction of the CVJ structure 1. The other end of the first carbon splint mechanism 2 is hinged to the CVJ fixing seat 35.
[0049] The lithium battery 34 is arranged on 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 flight, the coaxial twin motors 25 drive the twin blades 24 in differential rotation, providing sufficient flight power. The roll servo 22 drives the coaxial twin motors 25 to swing, controlling the robot's roll. The pitch servo 20 drives the first carbon splint mechanism 2 to rotate about the axial direction of the cage structure 1, driving the twin blades 24 in pitch. During this process, the other end of the first carbon splint mechanism 2 is hinged to the cage mount 35, ensuring smooth rotation of the first carbon splint mechanism 2 about the axial direction of the cage structure 1.
[0052] When the robot is moving on the ground, the C-shaped cage servo 36 drives the second carbon splint 3 to rotate or swing forward, causing the lithium battery 34, located in the lower center of the cage structure 1, to tilt forward. At this point, the robot's entire center of mass tilts forward, and the cage structure 1 is a horizontally positioned rotating structure. Under the action of gravity, the tilted lithium battery 34 drives the cage structure 1 to roll forward, causing the robot to move forward, and vice versa for backward movement. Furthermore, during forward and backward movement, the roll servo 22 controls the left and right swing of the coaxial twin motors 25 and the twin blades 24, causing the blades 24 to rotate accordingly. This, combined with the hemispherical structures at both axial ends of the cage structure 1, allows the cage structure 1 to deflect left and right, causing the robot to turn left or right. Furthermore, during this process, one end of the second carbon splint 3 is hinged to the pitch mount 31, ensuring smooth rotation of the second carbon splint 3 about the cage structure 1.
[0053] Thus, the present invention utilizes the second carbon splint mechanism 3, the CVJ servo 36, the CVJ mount 35, and the lithium battery 34 to achieve center-of-mass tilting with a relatively small driving force. After the center-of-mass tilt, gravity provides the driving force for ground locomotion. This improves the long-term ground endurance of the air-ground dual-purpose robot. Achieving ground locomotion through a variable center-of-mass approach effectively improves energy efficiency and minimizes 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 changing structure, thereby avoiding the influence of the coaxial dual motor 25 changing structure on the center of gravity of the body when rotating.
[0055] In addition, the differential motion of the two blades 24 can achieve the yaw motion of the robot. In the ground mode, the robot controls the rolling of the external cage structure 1 through the center of mass tilt structure, and achieves the yaw motion on the ground through the differential motion of the two blades 24.
[0056] Furthermore, the coaxial double-propeller air-ground dual-purpose robot further includes 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 detection control unit 38 is respectively connected to the wireless transceiver unit 30, the pitch servo 20, the roll servo 22, the coaxial dual motor 25 and the ball cage servo 36.
[0058] Furthermore, the wireless transceiver unit 30 is a UWB module, and the detection control unit 38 includes a control circuit and a 6-axis inertial sensor. The 6-axis inertial sensor is connected to the control circuit, and an electronic speed regulator is provided in the control circuit.
[0059] The 6-axis inertial sensor here can be a BMI088 sensor. The control circuit also has a receiver for acquiring remote control signals. The UWB module is used to send and receive signals to the ground station. These signals contain information about the current and desired posture.
[0060] 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 to ensure that the robot can send and receive signals smoothly.
[0061] The control system board in the circuit system of the control circuit is used to detect the robot's motion posture, receive remote control control signals, and send control signals to the power components.
[0062] Furthermore, the first carbon splint mechanism 2 includes a roll servo 22 fixing seat, a roll servo 22 rocker arm, two first carbon splint cross arms 26, a fixing seat 28 at one end and a fixing seat 29 at the other end.
[0063] The two first carbon plywood cross arms 26 are arranged along the axial extension of the ball cage structure 1, the roll servo 22 fixing seat is fixed between the two first carbon plywood cross arms 26, the roll servo 22 is arranged on the roll servo 22 fixing seat, the coaxial dual motor 25 is arranged above the roll servo 22, the coaxial dual motor 25 and the two first carbon plywood cross arms 26 are respectively hinged through corresponding bearings 21, the output shaft of the roll servo 22 is connected to the roll servo 22 rocker arm, the roll servo 22 rocker arm is arranged below the coaxial dual motor 25, and the roll servo 22 rocker arm is used to drive the coaxial dual motor 25 to swing around the bearing 21.
[0064] The one-end fixing seat 28 is connected to the output shaft of the pitch servo 20, and the one-end fixing seat 28 is respectively connected to one end of the two first carbon splint cross arms 26. The other-end fixing seat 29 is hinged to the ball cage fixing seat 35, and the other-end fixing seat 29 is respectively connected to the other end of the two first carbon splint cross arms 26.
[0065] There can be two bearings 21, both flanged. The flanged bearing 21 is embedded in a pre-reserved hole in one of the first carbon crossbars 26. A ball bearing 21 is embedded in the other first carbon crossbar 26 at the position corresponding to the pitch servo 20 to reduce rotational damping and ensure symmetry and continuity in pitch motion.
[0066] Furthermore, there are downwardly concave recessed 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 recessed structures 261.
[0067] This design prevents the blades 24 from colliding with the first carbon splint cross arm 26 or other structures during the yaw process, thereby preventing motion interference.
[0068] Furthermore, the first carbon splint cross arm 26 is a hollow structural member.
[0069] The first carbon splint cross arm 26 is a hollow structure with a plurality of slots and round holes. On one hand, the long slots and round holes are used to facilitate the fixation of other structures, and on the other hand, the hollowing is used to reduce the weight of the fuselage.
[0070] Furthermore, the second carbon splint mechanism 3 includes two second carbon splint cross arms 32 and a mounting bracket 33. The second carbon splint cross arms 32 are U-shaped in a vertical plane along the axial direction of the ball cage structure 1. The lithium battery 34 is clamped at the bend of the two second carbon splint cross arms 32. The two ends of the second carbon splint cross arms 32 are respectively connected to the pitch fixing seat 31 and the ball cage fixing seat 35. The mounting bracket 33 is installed on the second carbon splint cross arms 32 above the lithium battery 34. The control circuit and the 6-axis inertial sensor are both installed on the mounting bracket 33.
[0071] The second carbon-clad cross-arms 32 form a U-shape in a vertical plane along the axis of the cage structure 1. The lithium battery 34 is sandwiched between the two second carbon-clad cross-arms 32 at the bend, minimizing the center of gravity of the overall structure and providing sufficient power for the robot's rolling motion. A mounting bracket 33 secures the two second carbon-clad cross-arms 32, providing space for mounting and securing the control circuitry and lithium battery 34.
[0072] Furthermore, the cage structure 1 includes a plurality of spokes 40, a plurality of wheel rings 42, a hub 41 at one end and a hub 43 at the other end.

[0074] The wheel hub 41 at one end is hinged to the pitch fixing seat 31 , and the wheel hub 43 at the other end is connected to the CVJ servo 36 via a rocker arm transmission of the CVJ servo 36 .
[0075] Furthermore, a plurality of inward grooves 401 are formed at the center of each spoke 40. The plurality of inward grooves 401 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the spoke 40. Each inward groove 401 is arranged toward the axis of the cage structure 1.
[0076] The outer circular edge of the wheel ring 42 is provided with a plurality of outward grooves 421 , which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the wheel ring 42 and extend radially along the wheel ring 42 . The outward grooves 421 are used to be inserted into any designated inward groove 401 .
[0077] The outward groove 421 is used to be inserted into any specified inward groove 401, so that the ball cage structure 1 can adjust the number of wheel rings 42 according to specific usage needs, and according to actual needs, the outward groove 421 of the wheel ring 42 is docked with the inward groove 401 at the corresponding position of the spoke 40 to adjust the layout position of each wheel ring 42, thereby improving the adaptability of the ball cage structure 1 to actual application scenarios.
[0078] Furthermore, the spokes 40 are glass fiber spokes 40, and the wheel ring 42 is a glass fiber wheel ring 42.
[0079] The one-end wheel hub 41 and the other-end wheel hub 4341 are both made of PA12 nylon by 3D printing, and the pitch fixing seat 31, the CVJ fixing seat 35, the roll servo 22 fixing seat, the roll servo 22 rocker arm, the one-end fixing seat 28, the other-end fixing seat 2928, the CVJ servo 36 rocker arm and the mounting bracket 33 are all made of PA12 nylon by 3D printing.
[0080] This setting reduces the overall weight of the robot.
[0081] In addition, the material is glass fiber, which has the advantage of low density while ensuring structural strength. Compared with carbon fiber material, it is not easy to block UWB signals and does not interfere with signal transmission during robot movement.

[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. By concentrating the main weight of the robot on the lower unit and tilting it, rapid movement on the ground can be achieved with less energy consumption.
[0094] The cage structure 1 of the present invention wraps around the robot body, providing support while ensuring the robot's free rolling on the ground. In particular, the cage structure 1's two axial ends are hemispherical structures, which enhances the cage structure's steering flexibility and freedom. Furthermore, the cage structure 1's cage-like rotating body not only protects the robot's internal structure but also significantly reduces its overall weight.
[0095] The robot's main components are flat and 3D-printed, and can be directly manufactured from lightweight, high-strength materials (such as carbon fiber sheets and PA12 nylon).

At the same time, the lightweight and center of mass tilting structural design can extend the life of the air-ground dual-purpose robot and reduce the robot's production cost and complexity.
