Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent robots, and in particular to a leg mechanism and a walking robot. Background Art
[0002] As a new type of unmanned equipment on land, bionic legged robots can walk on the ground through the support and swing of multi-joint legs, compared with conventional wheeled robots and tracked robots. This means that its travel mechanism is the same as that of biological organisms in nature, with a larger workspace, more flexible movement methods, and more powerful maneuvering obstacle crossing capabilities. Although pure legged robots have good terrain passability, they cannot be widely used in fast-moving mission scenarios due to their slow movement speed. Wheeled robots have the ability to move quickly, but their terrain passability is poor. Although tracked robots have good terrain passability, their relatively complex structure, low movement speed, and track wear also limit their application in quadrupedal robots.
[0003] By setting the moving wheels at the end of the legs and driving the moving wheels to rotate, the moving speed of the bionic foot robot can be improved, and the robot can take into account both terrain passability and rapid movement. The motors used by the robot to drive the moving wheels are basically arranged at the end of the legs, close to the moving wheels, which will result in a large inertia at the end of the legs, increase the control difficulty of the structure and increase the energy consumption of the system.

[0032] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the invention, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of a leg mechanism proposed according to the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0033] On the one hand, if Figure 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a leg mechanism, comprising:
[0034] A hip joint body (100), a thigh (200), a shank (300), a wheel (400), a thigh drive assembly (500), a shank drive assembly (600), a wheel drive assembly (700), a shank transmission assembly (800) and a wheel transmission assembly (900);
[0035] The thigh drive assembly (500), the shank drive assembly (600) and the wheel drive assembly (700) are all connected to the hip joint body (100); the thigh drive assembly (500) is connected to the thigh (200); the shank transmission assembly (800) is respectively connected to the shank drive assembly (600) and the shank (300); the wheel transmission assembly (900) is at least connected to the wheel drive assembly (700) and the wheel (400); the thigh (200) and the wheel (400) are connected to the shank (300) at intervals;
[0036] The thigh drive assembly (500) is used to drive the thigh (200) to move relative to the hip joint body (100), the calf drive assembly (600) is used to drive the calf (300) to move relative to the thigh (200) via the calf transmission assembly (800), and the wheel drive assembly (700) is used to drive the wheel (400) to move relative to the calf (300) via the wheel transmission assembly (900).
[0037] The leg mechanism (10) is used in a walking robot to provide power for the movement of the walking robot. The robot body (20) of the walking robot can be equipped with three leg mechanisms (10) as required, or as follows: Figure 6As shown, four leg mechanisms (10) are provided, or more can be provided as required. The hip joint body (100) is a structure for connecting the entire leg mechanism (10) to the robot body (20), and is used to provide a connection and support structure for the thigh drive assembly (500), the shank drive assembly (600) and the wheel drive assembly (700). The hip joint body (100) includes at least a hip joint shell, and the outer contour of the hip joint shell can be as follows: Figure 1 The approximately rectangular parallelepiped structure shown has a hollow structure inside, which is used to accommodate at least part of the thigh drive assembly (500), the calf drive assembly (600) and the wheel drive assembly (700). A connecting plate or the like can be provided inside the hip joint housing as needed to connect and fix part of the structure of the thigh drive assembly (500), the calf drive assembly (600) and the wheel drive assembly (700). The hip joint body (100) also includes a support shaft (110) for rotationally connecting to the robot body (20). A driving mechanism can also be provided inside the robot body (20). The driving mechanism acts on the support shaft (110) to drive the hip joint body (100) to flip, so that the entire leg mechanism (10) can be opened or retracted to the outside of the robot body (20). The hip joint body (100) may also have other possible structures, which are not limited by the present application. For the convenience of explanation below, the length direction of the hip joint body (100), i.e. Figure 1 The X-axis direction is called the first direction, which is the width direction of the hip joint body (100), that is, Figure 1 The Y-axis direction is called the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and when the robot does not cross an obstacle and the leg mechanism (10) has a consistent posture, the second direction and the first direction are both horizontal directions.
[0038] The thigh drive assembly (500), the shank drive assembly (600) and the wheel drive assembly (700) are all integrated on the hip joint body (100), and the shank transmission assembly (800) and the wheel transmission assembly (900) are only used for power transmission. Compared with setting the motor on the leg, the movement burden of the leg can be greatly reduced. The leg structure includes a thigh (200), a shank (300) and a wheel (400). The thigh (200) is used to swing relative to the hip joint body (100) under the direct drive of the thigh drive assembly (500), and the shank (300) is used to swing relative to the thigh (200) through the power transmission of the shank transmission assembly (800), and then the thigh (200) and the shank (300) can be folded, the height of the robot body (20) can be changed, and the leg can be lifted to overcome obstacles. The wheel (400) is arranged at the end of the shank (300) for contacting the ground or other supporting surfaces in the scene. The wheel (400) rotates relative to the shank (300) through the power transmission of the wheel transmission assembly (900), thereby realizing the rapid movement of the robot body (20) or the low position movement of the robot body (20).
[0039] A leg mechanism and a walking robot proposed in an embodiment of the present invention can reduce the inertia of the leg end, reduce the control difficulty of the structure and the energy consumption of the system by setting a wheel drive assembly at the hip joint body. In the prior art, in order to make the robot take into account both terrain passability and rapid movement capability, a solution is provided for setting a moving wheel at the leg end, so as to increase the moving speed by driving the moving wheel to rotate. The motor used by the robot to drive the moving wheel is basically arranged at the end of the leg, which will lead to a large inertia of the leg end, increase the control difficulty of the structure and the energy consumption of the system. In the present application, the leg is provided to include a relatively movable thigh and calf, and the flexible movement of the leg is achieved by the thigh drive assembly and the calf drive assembly. By setting a wheel on the calf and driving the rotation of the wheel, the rapid movement of the robot can be achieved. At the same time, the thigh drive assembly, the calf drive assembly and the wheel drive assembly are all arranged on the hip joint body, and power is transmitted through the transmission mechanism, thereby taking into account both terrain passability and rapid movement capability, while reducing the weight of the leg end, so that the burden of the leg drive is small, the leg drive is flexible, the leg response is fast, and wear can be reduced.
[0040] The thigh drive assembly (500), the shank drive assembly (600) and the wheel drive assembly (700) can be implemented in a variety of ways, and the purpose is to set the heavier drive assembly on the hip joint body (100) through the setting of the transmission assembly. Specific implementation methods will be given as examples below, and it can be understood that the implementation methods of the present application are not limited to the following examples.
[0041] In one embodiment, the thigh drive assembly (500) includes a thigh swing motor (510), a first thigh gear (520), a second thigh gear (530), a thigh rotation rod (540) and a connecting plate (550). The output end of the thigh swing motor (510) is connected to the first thigh gear (520), the second thigh gear (530) is connected to the thigh rotation rod (540), and the first thigh gear (520) and the second thigh gear (530) are meshed, and the thigh rotation rod (540) is connected to an end of the thigh (200) away from the calf (300).
[0042] The thigh swing motor (510) is fixedly connected to the hip joint body (100), for example, it can be fixedly connected to one side of the hip joint housing of the hip joint body (100) in the first direction. The output end of the thigh swing motor (510) extends in the first direction. The first thigh gear (520) and the second thigh gear (530) can both be bevel gears, so that the thigh rotation rod (540) can extend in the second direction and connect to the thigh (200) arranged in the second direction of the hip joint body (100). The connection between the thigh rotation rod (540) and the thigh (200) can be a bolt connection, an interference fit, etc.
[0043] Further, the connecting plate (550) is connected to at least one of the second thigh gear (530) and the thigh rotating rod (540). The calf driving assembly (600) includes a calf swing motor (610) and a calf swing rod (620), the first end of the calf swing rod (620) is connected to the calf swing motor (610), the second end of the calf swing rod (620) is connected to the calf transmission assembly (800), and the calf swing motor (610) is connected to the connecting plate (550). The thigh rotating rod (540) is cylindrical, and the calf swing rod (620) is movably connected to the thigh rotating rod (540).
[0044] The calf swing motor (610) is fixedly connected to the hip joint body (100), for example, the calf swing motor (610) can be fixedly connected to the outside of the hip joint housing of the hip joint body (100) on one side in the second direction. The axis of the output end of the calf swing motor (610) is arranged along the second direction, and the axes of the thigh rotation rod (540), the calf swing rod (620) and the transmission sleeve (740) are all arranged along the second direction, and then connected to the leg structure on the other side of the hip joint body (100) in the second direction. In some embodiments, Figure 4 As described above, the calf drive assembly (600) further includes an adapter plate (640), and the calf swing rod (620) can be connected to the calf swing motor (610) through the adapter plate (640), thereby ensuring the stability of the connection. Figure 4As shown in , it is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second thigh gear (530) and fixed by a top screw. The connecting plate (550) is fixed to the calf swing motor (610), and then when the thigh (200) swings, the entire calf drive assembly (600) drives the calf (300) and the thigh (200) to move in conjunction through the connecting plate (550), that is, the relative angle between the calf (300) and the thigh (200) remains unchanged, while the entire calf moves. When the calf (300) needs to swing relative to the thigh (200), the calf swing motor (610) drives the calf swing rod (620) to rotate, and then drives the calf (300) to move, thereby changing the relative angle between the calf (300) and the thigh (200).
[0045] The calf swing rod (620) and the thigh rotation rod (540) may be in sliding contact, or may be in a sliding contact. Figure 4 The partial areas shown are in sliding contact, while the other partial areas are arranged at intervals, which can reduce sliding friction. In some embodiments, the calf drive assembly (600) further includes a calf bearing (630), and the number of the calf bearings (630) can be two. The two calf bearings (630) are arranged at intervals between the calf swing rod (620) and the thigh rotation rod (540) in the second direction, thereby improving the smoothness of the relative movement between the calf swing rod (620) and the thigh rotation rod (540).
[0046] In one embodiment, the wheel drive assembly (700) includes a wheel rotation motor (710), a first wheel gear (720), a second wheel gear (730) and a transmission sleeve (740). The output end of the wheel rotation motor (710) is connected to the first wheel gear (720), the transmission sleeve (740) is movably sleeved on the thigh rotation rod (540), the second wheel gear (730) is connected to the transmission sleeve (740), the first wheel gear (720) is meshed with the second wheel gear (730), and the transmission sleeve (740) is connected to the wheel transmission assembly (900).
[0047] The wheel rotating motor (710) is fixedly connected to the hip joint body (100), for example, the wheel rotating motor (710) can be fixed inside the hip joint housing of the hip joint body (100) on a side opposite to the thigh swing motor (510) in the first direction, but the two are staggered in the first direction. The output shaft of the wheel rotating motor (710) extends in the first direction, the first wheel gear (720) and the second wheel gear (730) can be conical gears, and the second wheel gear (730) and the second thigh gear (530) are arranged at intervals in the second direction.
[0048] Or, in another embodiment, based on the previous embodiment, as Figure 2-4As shown, the wheel drive assembly (700) further includes a third wheel gear (750), a fourth wheel gear (760) and a transmission rod (770), the third wheel gear (750) and the fourth wheel gear (760) are both connected to the transmission rod (770), the first wheel gear (720) is meshed with the third wheel gear (750), and the fourth wheel gear (760) is meshed with the second wheel gear (730). That is, the first wheel gear (720) and the second wheel gear (730) are not directly meshed, but are indirectly meshed through the third wheel gear (750) and the fourth wheel gear (760).
[0049] The axis of the transmission rod (770) is arranged along the second direction. The first wheel gear (720) and the second wheel gear (730) are not arranged as conical wheels, but the first wheel gear (720) and the third wheel gear (750) are both bevel gears, and the fourth wheel gear (760) and the second wheel gear (730) are cylindrical gears. This arrangement enables the output end of the thigh swing motor (510) and the output shaft of the wheel rotation motor (710) to be coaxial, and to be arranged on opposite sides of the hip joint body (100) in the first direction, thereby making the weight force of the hip joint body (100) located on the rotation axis, greatly reducing the torque. In addition, the calf swing motor (610) and the thigh (200) are arranged on opposite sides of the hip joint body (100) in the second direction, further balancing the force of the hip joint body (100) when it swings sideways, reducing the driving burden and wear.
[0050] In the above two embodiments, the transmission sleeve (740) and the thigh rotating rod (540) can be slidably sleeved. In some embodiments, the wheel driving assembly (700) can also include two limiting rings (790), the transmission sleeve (740) is provided with bosses on the inner wall at both ends of the axial direction, the limiting ring (790) is sleeved on the thigh rotating rod (540), the transmission sleeve (740) is sleeved on the thigh rotating rod (540) and the limiting ring (790), and the axial or second direction limitation is achieved through the action of the boss and the limiting ring (790). Furthermore, the hip joint body (100) also includes a limiting cylinder (120), the transmission sleeve (740) is inserted into the limiting cylinder (120), and the wheel drive assembly (700) can also include two wheel bearings (780), and the two wheel bearings (780) are arranged between the transmission sleeve (740) and the limiting cylinder (120) at intervals in the second direction, thereby achieving support for the transmission sleeve (740) and the entire calf drive assembly (600), and ensuring the smoothness of the rotation of the transmission sleeve (740). It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the transmission sleeve (740) and the limiting cylinder (120) can be slidably connected, or the transmission sleeve (740) and the thigh rotation rod (540) can be connected through a bearing.
[0051] The calf transmission assembly (800) and the wheel transmission assembly (900) can be of various types, as long as they can transmit power. Figure 2 As shown, the calf transmission assembly (800) includes a first connector (810), a second connector (820) and a linkage rod (830), the calf swing rod (620) of the calf drive assembly (600) passes through the thigh (200), the first connector (810) is connected to the calf swing rod (620), the second connector (820) is connected to the calf (300), and extends to a side away from the wheel (400). In some embodiments, the second connector (820) and the calf (300) can also be integrally formed. The linkage rod (830) is respectively connected to the first connector (810) and the second connector (820), and can rotate with each other.
[0052] When the calf swing rod (620) of the calf driving assembly (600) rotates, the first connecting head (810) is driven to rotate, and the second connecting head (820) is driven through the linkage rod (830), thereby driving the calf (300) to swing relative to the thigh (200).
[0053] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the wheel transmission assembly (900) includes a first pulley (910), a second pulley (920), a third pulley (930), a fourth pulley (940), a first belt and a second belt, the first pulley (910) is connected to the transmission sleeve (740) of the wheel drive assembly (700), the second pulley (920) is coaxially connected to the third pulley (930), and is coaxially rotatably connected to the rotating shaft between the calf (300) and the thigh (200), such as being rotatably connected through a bearing, such as the inner connecting shaft between the second pulley (920) and the third pulley (930) is connected to the outer connecting shaft connecting the calf (300) and the thigh (200), and the inner connecting shaft and the outer connecting shaft are slidably connected or connected through a bearing. The fourth pulley (940) is connected to the wheel (400), the first belt is wound around the first pulley (910) and the second pulley (920), and the second belt is wound around the third pulley (930) and the fourth pulley (940).
[0054] When the transmission sleeve (740) of the wheel driving assembly (700) rotates, it drives the first pulley (910) to rotate, and then drives the second pulley (920) and the third pulley (930) to rotate synchronously through the first belt, and drives the fourth pulley (940) through the second belt to drive the wheel (400) to rotate, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the robot body (20).
[0055] On the other hand, Figure 6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a walking robot, comprising a leg mechanism (10) as described above, the number of the leg mechanisms is at least two, and a robot body (20), the leg mechanism (10) being drivingly connected to the robot body (20).
[0056] The walking robot includes any of the aforementioned leg mechanisms (10) and the advantages of any of the aforementioned leg mechanisms (10), which will not be repeated here. In the embodiment where there are four leg mechanisms (10), the robot body (20) may be as follows: Figure 6 The robot has a nearly flat cubic structure, and the leg mechanisms (10) are arranged at the four corners of the robot body (20).
