Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform and a working method, belonging to the technical field of motion simulation. Background Art

[0002] A six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform is a mechatronic device that can achieve three translational degrees of freedom (movement in the X, Y, and Z axis directions) and three rotational degrees of freedom (pitch, roll, and yaw) in three-dimensional space, and is widely used in fields such as flight simulation training, automobile driving tests, ship navigation simulations, virtual reality interactions, military equipment tests, and entertainment equipment (such as motion cinemas). Its core technology lies in accurately reproducing complex motion trajectories through multi-axis collaborative control to provide users with an immersive dynamic experience. Traditional six-degree-of-freedom platforms are mostly implemented based on Stewart parallel mechanisms or serial robotic arm structures. Among them, the Stewart platform has become the mainstream solution due to its advantages such as high stiffness and large load capacity, but it has problems such as limited motion space, insufficient dynamic response speed, and complex multi-axis coupling control. For example, existing hydraulic-driven parallel platforms can carry large loads, but the system is large in volume, high in energy consumption, and complex in maintenance; while the solution using electric cylinders improves the control accuracy, but is limited by the motor power and mechanical structure design, and it is difficult to balance the requirements of high-frequency response and small volume. In addition, the control algorithms of existing platforms are mostly based on PID or feedforward compensation, and are prone to tracking errors under non-linear disturbances (such as sudden load changes and multi-degree-of-freedom coupling inertia), resulting in a reduction in the realism of motion simulation. With the development of emerging fields such as virtual reality and unmanned system tests, the market has put forward higher requirements for six-degree-of-freedom platforms: it is necessary to achieve high dynamic response, high positioning accuracy, and low-power operation in a compact space, and at the same time have a modular design to adapt to diverse application scenarios. However, existing technologies are difficult to meet the above requirements due to problems such as high structural redundancy, poor cooperation of drive units, and insufficient adaptability of control strategies.

[0058] A working method of a six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform includes the following six-degree-of-freedom motion modes:

[0059] Transverse motion mode:

[0060] In the two transverse lead screw modules, the servo motor 1-6 drives the ball screw pair 1-2 to rotate, drives the slide table 2-2 to move through the lead screw nut seat 2-3.

[0071] Specifically:

[0072] Figure 1 A six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform includes a lead screw module mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt mechanism; the three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt mechanism is installed above the lifting mechanism and can move up and down with the lifting mechanism. The lead screw module mechanism is located below the lifting mechanism and is fixed by bolts. The whole module is stacked up and down by three groups of lead screw modules.

[0073] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the lead screw module structure in a six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the lead screw module includes a front support seat 1-1, a ball screw pair 1-2, a rolling linear guide 1-3, a base 1-4, a motor fixing seat 1-5, a servo motor 1-6, a rear support seat 1-7, a coupling 1-8, a nut seat 2-1, a slide table 2-2, and a lead screw nut seat 2-3.

[0074] The ball screw pair 1-2 is fixed between the front support base 1-1 and the rear support base 1-7 through bearings. There are two rolling linear guides 1-3, which are fixed on the base 1-4 by screws. The rear support base 1-7 is connected to the motor fixing base 1-5 on which the servo motor 1-6 is fixed. The ball screw pair 1-2 and the servo motor 1-6 are connected by a coupling 1-8. Four nut seats 2-1 are nested on the rolling linear guide 1-3, and the lead screw nut seat 2-3 is nested on the ball screw pair 1-2. The four nut seats 2-1 and the lead screw nut seat 2-3 are fixed to the slide table 2-2. The servo motor 1-6 drives the ball screw pair 1-2 to rotate through the coupling 1-8. According to the rotation direction of the lead screw, the lead screw nut seat 2-3 will move along the axial direction of the lead screw. One end of the ball screw pair 1-2 is equipped with a coupling 1-8 for connecting the servo motor 1-6; the other end is fixed to another support point to increase the stability of the system. The rolling linear guide 1-3 is directly fixed on the base 1-4 by screws and is ensured to be parallel to the ball screw pair 1-2. The slide table 2 contains a ball mechanism, enabling it to move smoothly along the ball screw pair 1-2 and the rolling linear guide 1-3. Among the three lead screw modules, the two lower horizontal lead screw modules are placed in parallel, while the upper vertical lead screw module is vertically stacked and fixed to the lower horizontal lead screw modules. The two groups of horizontal lead screw modules mainly control the linear motion of the six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform along the X-axis direction, and one group of vertical lead screw modules mainly controls the linear motion of the six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform along the Y-axis direction.

[0075] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the electric push rod lifting structure in a six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the electric push rod lifting mechanism includes a push rod 3-1, a screw rod 3-2, a guide sleeve 3-3, a nut 3-4, a DC motor 3-5, and a base 3-6. The push rod 3-1 is embedded in the guide sleeve 3-3, and the guide sleeve 3-3 is connected to the DC motor 3-6. The entire structure is fixed on the lifting base 3-7. The bottom of the push rod 3-1 is internally embedded with a nut, and this nut matches the screw rod. The motor rotates at a high speed, and through a gear reducer, the power is converted into a low-speed and high-torque output, thereby reducing the rotational speed and increasing the torque, enabling the motor to effectively drive the load. The decelerated rotational motion is transmitted to the screw rod 3-2, driving the nut 3-4 to move along the screw rod 3-2, and then pushing the push rod to perform a linear motion. The push rod is embedded in a guide sleeve with parallel guide rails to provide additional support and ensure its smooth sliding, enabling it to move freely on the track without deviating from the direction. The electric push rod mainly controls the linear motion of the simulation platform along the Z-axis direction.

[0076] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a three-degree-of-freedom servo gimbal in a six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform of the present invention, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt mechanism includes a pan base 4-1, a yaw servo 4-2, a servo platform 4-3, a bearing bracket 4-4, a turntable 4-5, a roll shaft 4-6, a roll servo 4-7, a roll U-shaped bracket 4-8, a pitch servo 4-9, a pitch U-shaped bracket 4-10, a steering wheel 4-11, a tapered roller bearing 4-12, a pitch shaft 4-13, a pan stud 4-14, and a turntable stud 4-15. As Figure 5 In the yaw structure of Figure 5 , the yaw servo 4-2 is nested with the servo platform 4-3, and the bearing bracket 4-4 is connected to the servo platform 4-3 by four pan studs 4-14.

[0077] One end of the output shaft of the yaw servo 4-2 is connected to the steering wheel 4-11, and the other end is connected to the turntable 4-5 provided at the top through four turntable studs 4-15 passing through the tapered roller bearing 4-12; the tapered roller bearing 4-12 is arranged on the bearing bracket 4-4 fixedly connected to the servo platform 4-3; the yaw servo 4-3 drives the steering wheel 4-11 to rotate, thereby driving the rotation of the turntable 4-5.

[0078] In the roll structure, the roll U-shaped bracket 4-8 is connected to the roll servo 4-7 through the roll shaft 4-6. In the pitch structure, the pitch U-shaped bracket 4-10 is connected to the pitch servo 4-9 through the pitch shaft 4-13, and the yaw, roll, and pitch parts are connected by screws. The entire mechanism is connected to the pan base 4-1 by four pan studs 4-14.

[0079] The yaw servo 4-3 is installed on the servo platform 4-3 of the basic frame through bolts. The yaw servo 4-3 drives the rotation of the rudder disc 4-11, thereby driving the rotation of the turntable 4-5, and is responsible for controlling the rotation in the yaw direction. A roll servo 4-7 is arranged on the turntable 4-5. The output shaft of the roll servo 4-7, i.e., the roll shaft 4-6, is installed with a roll U-shaped bracket 4-8. The roll servo 4-7 drives the roll shaft 4-6 to rotate the roll U-shaped bracket 4-8 around the axis by ±90°, realizing the roll of the three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt mechanism. A pitch servo 4-9 is arranged at the top of the roll U-shaped bracket 4-8. In the pitch structure, the pitch servo 4-9 drives the pitch shaft 4-13 to rotate the pitch U-shaped bracket 4-10 around the axis by ±90°, realizing the pitch of the three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt mechanism. A load platform 5 is arranged at the top of the pitch U-shaped bracket 4-10 for carrying various devices. The servo receives instructions from the control system and then adjusts the angles of one or more servos according to these instructions to change the direction of the load on the pan-tilt. The three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt mainly controls the rotational movements in the yaw, roll, and pitch directions of the six-degree-of-freedom simulation motion platform. There are three servos, which respectively control the movements in the yaw, pitch, and roll degrees of freedom. Among them, the yaw movement is realized by the servo controlling the bearing turntable to rotate by ±180°; the pitch and roll movements are realized by the servo controlling the long U-shaped bracket to rotate by ±90°. The whole mechanism is located in the upper part of the simulation platform, and its pan-tilt base is connected to the electric push rod shaft head by welding.

[0080] The lead screw module servo motor is connected to the lead screw through a coupling, converting the rotational motion of the motor into the linear motion of the lead screw. This conversion mechanism enables the whole system to perform linear propulsion or pulling-back operations with high precision and high speed. The electric push rod lifting mechanism uses a DC motor. The motor drives the rotation through electrical energy, converting the rotational kinetic energy of the motor into the mechanical energy for pushing the push rod to move up and down. This process can provide a relatively stable output torque. In the yaw movement of the three-degree-of-freedom servo pan-tilt, tapered roller bearings are installed between the base and the turntable, which can effectively reduce the frictional resistance that may be encountered during the rotation process and greatly improve the load-bearing capacity of the whole pan-tilt structure.
