[0045] The large - load anthropomorphic agile robotic arm of the present invention adopts a differential heterogeneous joint design. By means of the torque superposition effect of the differential mechanism, without increasing the number of additional drive sources or improving the performance of the drive source, the output torque of a single joint is effectively increased, thereby enhancing its load - bearing capacity. At the same time, by using cable - driven technology to place the drive source at the rear, the weight and inertia of the moving part of the robotic arm are reduced, achieving the effects of a large load - to - weight ratio and high agility.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the three-degree-of-freedom differential shoulder joint 2 of the present invention is composed of a shoulder differential mechanism 21, a slewing bracket 22 and a pitching bracket 23. The slewing bracket 22 is placed above the base 1 and the two are connected by a bearing. The pitching bracket 23 is connected to the slewing bracket 22 by a bearing. The first differential connecting shaft 61 is fixedly connected to the slewing bracket 22, and the second differential connecting shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the pitching bracket 23.

[0051] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the differential mechanism 21 includes 8 differential wheels, a first differential connecting shaft 201 and a second differential connecting shaft 202. Its 8 differential wheels are respectively a one-one differential wheel 211, a one-two differential wheel 212, a one-three differential wheel 213, a two-one differential wheel 221, a two-two differential wheel 222, a two-three differential wheel 223, a three-two differential wheel 232 and a three-three differential wheel 233.

The two-one differential wheel 221, the two-two differential wheel 222, the two-three differential wheel 223 extend along the second direction and are coaxially arranged. The three-two differential wheel 232 and the three-three differential wheel 233 are coaxially arranged along the third direction. Wherein the above-mentioned first direction, second direction, and third direction correspond to Figure 4 the J1 direction, J2 direction, and J3 direction, and the first direction J1, the second direction J2, and the third direction J3 intersect at a point in space.

[0053] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first differential wheel 221, the second differential wheel 222, the third differential wheel 223 is coaxially arranged with the first differential connection shaft 201. Among them, the first differential wheel 221 is connected to one end of the first differential connection shaft 61, and the second differential wheel 222 and the third differential wheel 223 are connected to the other end of the first differential connection shaft 61. The third second differential wheel 232 and the third third differential wheel 233 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the second differential connection shaft 202. The first drive source 71, the second drive source 72, and the first drive source 73 are fixedly connected to the base 1. The first differential wheel 221 is fixedly connected to the pitching bracket 23.

[0054] Among them, the first first differential wheel 211, the first differential wheel 221 form the first differential motion pair of the shoulder. The first second differential wheel 212, the second differential wheel 222 and the third second differential wheel 232 form the second differential motion pair of the shoulder. The first third differential wheel 213, the third differential wheel 223 and the third third differential wheel 233 form the third differential motion pair of the shoulder. The first drive source 71, the second drive source 72, and the third drive source 73 respectively transmit power to the first first differential wheel 211, the first second differential wheel 212, the first second differential wheel 213, and then drive the first differential motion pair of the shoulder, the second differential motion pair of the shoulder, and the third differential motion pair of the shoulder to move. Through the cooperation between the differential motion pairs, the independent controllability of the three-degree-of-freedom joint is realized, and the output torques of multiple drivers are superimposed at the same joint.

[0055] In an application embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , the slewing bracket 22 is placed above the base 1 and connected by bearings. The pitching bracket 23 is connected to the slewing bracket 22 by bearings. The first differential connection shaft 201 is fixedly connected to the slewing bracket 22.

Two-two differential wheel 222 and two-three differential wheel Between 223 and the first differential connection shaft 201 are connected by bearings to achieve positioning in the second direction J2.

[0057] It should be noted that in the high load-bearing ratio cable-driven anthropomorphic agile robotic arm based on heterogeneous differential joints of the present invention, the rotation axes of the joints of the three-degree-of-freedom differential shoulder joint 2 intersect at one point. According to the three-degree-of-freedom differential principle, by controlling the first drive source 71, the second drive source 72, and the third drive source 73, power is transmitted through the transmission line 700 to achieve independent control of each joint. The three-degree-of-freedom differential shoulder joint 2 of the present invention is based on the differential principle. By superimposing the output torques of multiple drive sources on the same joint through ropes, the output torque of a single joint can be increased without increasing the number and performance of the drive sources, thereby improving the load capacity.

[0058] Furthermore, the diameter of the two-one differential wheel 221 is smaller than that of the two-two differential wheel 222, and the diameter of the two-two differential wheel 222 is smaller than that of the two-three differential wheel 223.

[0073] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , the two-degree-of-freedom differential wrist joint 6 includes a driving wheel 601 at the left driving end of the wrist, a driving wheel 602 at the right driving end of the wrist, a differential wheel 611 at the left of the wrist, a differential wheel 612 at the right of the wrist, and a differential wheel 613 at the upper end of the wrist.

Specifically, the sixth driving source 76 drives the driving wheel 601 at the left driving end of the wrist to rotate, transmits power through the transmission line 700, and drives the first differential kinematic pair of the wrist to move. The seventh driving source 77 drives the driving wheel 602 at the right driving end of the wrist to rotate, transmits power through the transmission line 700, and drives the second differential kinematic pair of the wrist to move. Through the mutual cooperation of the first differential kinematic pair and the second differential kinematic pair of the wrist, the pitching motion of the second wrist and the rotational motion of the third wrist are realized.

[0075] Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , between the driving wheel 601 at the left driving end of the wrist and the differential wheel 613 at the upper end of the wrist, there are two driving ropes connecting them, namely the first driving rope 741 of the second wrist and the third wrist and the second driving rope 742 of the second wrist and the third wrist.

The two drive ropes oppose each other and transmit power.

[0077] It should be noted that the transmission line 700 of the present invention can be any one of a rope, a chain, and a synchronous belt. The cooperation between the first differential kinematic pair, the second differential kinematic pair, and the third differential kinematic pair of the shoulder aims to achieve that the torque can be superimposed at any joint and offset each other at other joints. Therefore, the first differential kinematic pair, the second differential kinematic pair, and the third differential kinematic pair of the shoulder can be replaced by kinematic pairs composed of bevel gear sets, spur gear sets, synchronous belts, etc. Further, for the cooperation between the first differential kinematic pair, the second differential kinematic pair, and the third differential kinematic pair of the wrist, the purpose is also to achieve that the torque can be superimposed at any joint and offset each other at other joints, and can be replaced by kinematic pairs composed of bevel gear sets, spur gear sets, synchronous belts, etc.

[0078] In one embodiment, the differential mechanism 2 further includes a first rotary encoder 91, a second rotary encoder 92, and a third rotary encoder 93 for measuring the rotation angle and angular velocity of each joint.

[0079] See Figure 1 and Figure 10 , the first rotary encoder 91 includes an inner ring 91a of the first rotary encoder and an outer ring 91b of the first rotary encoder. Among them, the inner ring 91a of the first rotary encoder is fixedly sleeved on one end of the first differential connection shaft 61, and the outer ring 91b of the first rotary encoder is fixedly connected to the base 1. Thus, the first rotary encoder 91 is used to measure the angle and angular velocity of the first joint's rotational movement.

[0080] See Figure 1 and Figure 10 , the second rotary encoder 92 includes an inner ring 92a of the second rotary encoder and an outer ring 92b of the second rotary encoder. Among them, the inner ring 92a of the second rotary encoder is fixedly sleeved on one end of the first differential connection shaft 61, and the outer ring 92b of the second rotary encoder is fixedly connected to the pitching bracket 4. Thus, the second rotary encoder 92 is used to measure the angle and angular velocity of the second joint's pitching movement.

[0081] See Figure 1 and Figure 10, the third rotary encoder 93 includes an inner ring 93a and an outer ring 93b of the third rotary encoder. Among them, the inner ring 93a of the third rotary encoder is fixedly sleeved on one end of the second differential connection shaft 62, and the outer ring 93b of the third rotary encoder is fixedly connected to the pitching bracket 4. Thus, the third rotary encoder 93 is used to measure the angle and angular velocity of the third joint's rotary motion.

[0082] In some embodiments, the three-degree-of-freedom differential shoulder joint 2 of the present invention is jointly composed of a first shoulder rotary joint, a second shoulder pitching joint, and a third shoulder rotary joint, and can achieve a total of three degrees of freedom.

[0083] Among them, the first shoulder rotary joint serves as the first joint, and its first joint rotary motion principle: the second differential motion pair of the shoulder and the third differential motion pair of the shoulder cooperate to perform differential motion. When the first-third differential wheel 213 and the second-first differential wheel 221 both rotate counterclockwise or clockwise around the J1 axis (see Figure 3 ), the third-second differential wheel 232 and the third-third differential wheel 233 fixed on the same shaft rotate in opposite directions around the J3 axis (see Figure 3 ), thereby generating a pitching motion in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction around the J2 axis (see Figure 3 ). When the first-first differential wheel 211 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise around the J1 axis, a pitching motion in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the J2 axis is generated. This pitching motion counteracts the pitching motion generated by the differential of the second differential motion pair and the third differential motion pair of the shoulder, thereby generating a rotary motion of the movable part in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction around the J1 axis.

[0084] Among them, the second shoulder pitching joint serves as the second joint, and its second joint pitching motion principle: the second differential motion pair of the shoulder and the third differential motion pair of the shoulder cooperate to perform differential motion. When the first-third differential wheel 213 and the second-first differential wheel 221 both rotate counterclockwise or clockwise around the J1 axis, the third-second differential wheel 232 and the third-third differential wheel 233 rotate in opposite directions around the J3 axis, thereby generating a pitching motion in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction around the J2 axis. When the first-first differential wheel 211 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the J1 axis, a pitching motion in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction around the J2 axis is generated. This pitching motion is superimposed on the pitching motion generated by the differential of the second differential motion pair and the third differential motion pair, thereby generating a pitching motion in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction around the J2 axis.

[0085] Among them, the shoulder three - rotation joint serves as the third joint, and its principle of the third joint rotation movement: The second differential kinematic pair of the shoulder and the third differential kinematic pair of the shoulder cooperate to perform differential movement. When the first - third differential wheel 213 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise around the J1 axis, and the first - second differential wheel 212 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around the J1 axis, the third - second differential wheel 232 and the third - third differential wheel 233 fixed on the same axis rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the J3 axis in the same direction, thus generating a rotational movement in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the J3 axis.

[0086] Among them, according to the drive source - joint end kinematics: Let the first drive source 71 drive the first - first differential wheel 211 to rotate by an angle of , and its input torque is ; the second drive source 72 drives the first - second differential wheel 212 to rotate by an angle of , and its output torque is ; the third drive source 73 drives the first - third differential wheel 213 to rotate by an angle of , and its output torque is ; the rotation angles of the first joint, the second joint, and the third joint are respectively , and , and the driving torques of the first joint, the second joint, and the third joint are respectively , and ; the positive directions of the joints and the drive sources follow the right - hand rule. Assume that the transmission ratio of the drive source - joint drive end is 1, and the diameters of the differential wheels bypassed by the same coupling rope are the same. Since each joint is connected to multiple drive sources, the total driving torque on the joint is the sum of the torques transmitted by multiple drive sources. At the same time, the total rotation angle of the drive source is the sum of the rotation angles of multiple joints because each drive source is connected to multiple joints. According to the above differential principle, the forward kinematics of the drive source - joint end is expressed as follows:

[0087]

[0088] Accordingly, the inverse kinematics of the drive source - joint end is expressed as follows:

[0089]

[0090] Then the torque distribution calculation of the drive source input torque on each joint is as follows:

[0091]

[0092] According to the above formula, assuming that the peak torque of the driving source is , and the transmission ratio of each link is 1. When the input torques of each driving source are as shown in Table 1 below, the maximum driving torque at the joint end can reach twice the peak torque of the motor.
