Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of measurement and control, and in particular, to a hydraulic swing joint test system and a motion control method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The hydraulic swing joint is suitable for the joints of robotic arms or legged robots that pursue load capacity. It is an electro-mechanical-hydraulic integrated component with a hydraulic swing cylinder as the driving element, integrated with an encoder, a pressure sensor, a controller, and a hydraulic drive circuit. It uses hydraulic power to generate swing and output torque, and has the advantages of large output torque, high power ratio, long service life, and self-overload protection compared with electric joints.
[0003] The core component of the hydraulic swing joint is the hydraulic swing cylinder. Existing swing cylinders include vane type, rack type, etc. Among them, the double helix swing cylinder is a new type of hydraulic drive component that uses two-stage helical pairs to convert the linear motion of the piston into the rotation of the output shaft. It has the advantages of high positioning accuracy, large output torque, compact structure, and smooth motion. However, compared with foreign countries, the positioning accuracy and load capacity of domestic double helix swing cylinders need to be further improved, which requires accurate measurement of their relevant performance parameters to analyze the influencing factors. In addition, to achieve the automatic control of robot joints, it is necessary to measure the output torque in real time. However, due to the large output torque of hydraulic joints, it is not feasible to integrate a torque sensor inside the joint, and indirect measurement can only be carried out through the input fluid pressure.
[0004] Most of the existing comprehensive test platforms for robot joints are aimed at electric joints with RV (Rotary Vector) reducers as the core, and are not suitable for the test of hydraulic swing joints. For example, an industrial robot joint reducer comprehensive test platform disclosed in CN105181329B, the axes of the tested joint, sensor, and load are all connected in series, with high requirements for the coaxiality of installation and great influence on the measurement accuracy.

Detailed Embodiments
[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] The hydraulic swing joint is an electro-mechanical-hydraulic integrated component that uses a hydraulic swing cylinder as the driving element and integrates an encoder, a pressure sensor, a controller, and a hydraulic drive circuit. It uses hydraulic pressure as the power to generate swing and output torque, and has the advantages of large output torque, high power ratio, long service life, and built-in overload protection compared with electric joints. It is suitable for the joints of robotic arms or legged robots that pursue load capacity.
[0027] The core component of the hydraulic swing joint is the hydraulic swing cylinder. Existing swing cylinders include vane type, rack type, etc. Among them, the double helix swing cylinder is a new type of hydraulic drive component that uses two-stage screw pairs to convert the linear motion of the piston into the rotation of the output shaft. It has the advantages of high positioning accuracy, large output torque, compact structure, and smooth movement. However, compared with foreign countries, the positioning accuracy and load capacity of domestic double helix swing cylinders need to be further improved, which requires accurate measurement of their relevant performance parameters to analyze the influencing factors. In addition, to achieve the automatic control of robotic joints, it is necessary to measure their output torque in real time. However, due to the large output torque of hydraulic joints, it is not feasible to integrate a torque sensor inside the joint, and indirect measurement can only be carried out through the input fluid pressure. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of indirect measurement, it is obviously very necessary to calibrate the relationship between the actual output torque of the joint and the input pressure. Most of the existing comprehensive test platforms for robotic joints are aimed at electric joints with RV reducers as the core and are not suitable for the testing of hydraulic swing joints. Moreover, the axes of the tested joints, sensors, and loads are connected in series, which requires high coaxiality for installation and has a great impact on the measurement accuracy. Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a comprehensive test device suitable for the performance testing of hydraulic swing joints.
[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] In this embodiment, a hydraulic swing joint test system is applied. As shown in Figure 1 , it is composed of a hydraulic drive device, a loading device, a measuring device, and a control and processing device;
[0030] The loading device includes a double-acting piston cylinder 2, a slider 5, a hydrostatic guide 3, a bearing block 10, a first connecting rod 6 and a second connecting rod 8. The hydraulic swing joint 7 to be measured is fixed between the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 8 via a flange. The other end of the first connecting rod 6 is connected to the slider 5, which is placed on the hydrostatic guide 3 and connected to the piston rod of the double-acting piston cylinder 2. The other end of the second connecting rod 8 is connected to the bearing block 10. The hydraulic drive device includes a motor, a fixed-displacement hydraulic pump 13, an electro-hydraulic servo valve 15, an oil tank 11, a filter 12, a check valve 14 and a relief valve 18. The measuring device includes an incremental photoelectric encoder 9, a tensile and compressive force sensor 4 and a liquid pressure sensor. The incremental photoelectric encoder 9 is arranged between the second connecting rod 8 and the bearing block 10. The tensile and compressive force sensor 4 is arranged between the slider 5 and the piston rod of the double-acting piston cylinder 2. The liquid pressure sensor is arranged at the oil inlet and outlet of the hydraulic swing joint 7. The control and processing device includes a photoelectric encoder counting card, a liquid pressure sensor A / D acquisition card, a tensile and compressive force sensor 4 A / D acquisition card, a computer and a servo amplifier. Among them, the computer is electrically connected to the other four parts via a CAN bus.
[0031] In this embodiment, the swing of the hydraulic swing joint 7 is converted into the linear motion of the slider 5 and the swing of the connecting rod through the slider 5 connecting rod mechanism. The incremental photoelectric encoder 9 installed between the second connecting rod 8 and the bearing block 10 can measure the angular displacement and angular velocity of the connecting rod. If the lengths of the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 8 are equal, then the angular displacement and angular velocity of the second connecting rod 8 are half of the angular displacement and angular velocity of the hydraulic swing joint 7. Thus, the motion parameters of the hydraulic swing joint 7 can be indirectly measured.
[0032] In this embodiment, a tensile and compressive force sensor 4 is installed between the slider 5 and the piston rod of the double-acting piston cylinder 2, and the tensile and compressive forces between the two can be measured. During the test, the slider 5 connecting rod mechanism is in force balance and moves at a constant speed. The relationship between the tensile or compressive force received by the slider 5 and the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 can be obtained by the virtual displacement principle. Thus, the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 can be indirectly measured. By controlling the output force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2 to change according to a certain law, the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 can also be made to change according to a certain law, so as to analyze its dynamic characteristics.
[0033] In this embodiment, the measurement results of the incremental photoelectric encoder 9, the liquid pressure sensor and the tensile and compressive force sensor 4 are converted into digital signals by their respective corresponding acquisition cards and transmitted to the computer via the CAN bus. After being processed by the computer program, the angular displacement and angular velocity of the hydraulic swing joint 7, the ideal output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7, the output force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2, and the actual output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 are obtained.
[0034] The computer generates a target signal based on the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 and the load force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2 required by the test, in combination with the feedback signals from each sensor. The target signal is transmitted to the corresponding servo amplifier via the CAN bus. The servo amplifiers respectively generate sufficiently large electrical signals according to their respective target signals to control the movement of the spools of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 of the hydraulic joint and the electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 of the piston cylinder, so as to control the flow direction and pressure of the hydraulic fluid input to the hydraulic swing joint 7 and the double-acting piston cylinder 2, thereby controlling the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 and the output force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2. Or control the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid input to the hydraulic swing joint 7, thereby controlling its angular displacement.
[0035] In summary, in this system, the slider 5 and the connecting rod structure are used to convert rotational motion into linear motion, and then a pressure sensor is used for measurement, making the measurement cost low and the measurement accuracy high. And it can be widely applied to the measurement of hydraulic swing joints in multiple scenarios, with wide applicability.
[0036] Embodiment 2
[0037] In this embodiment, a test method for a hydraulic swing joint is applied. In this method, first, a hydraulic drive device provides power for the hydraulic swing joint 7 to control the steering and output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7; then, the slider 5 and the connecting rod structure in the loading device convert the rotational motion of the hydraulic swing joint 7 into linear motion, and a measuring device is used to collect data and transmit the data to a control and processing device. The control and processing device processes the data to adjust the motion states of the hydraulic swing joint 7 and the double-acting piston cylinder 2, and the control and processing device records the dynamic response and dynamic characteristics of the hydraulic swing joint 7 in real time to obtain the test results; the test results include the positioning accuracy, load capacity, and dynamic response ability of the hydraulic swing joint 7.
[0038] In this embodiment, the dynamic response includes torque, angular displacement, and angular velocity, and the dynamic characteristics include response speed and stability.
[0039] In this embodiment, a hydraulic drive device provides power for the hydraulic swing joint 7. The schematic structural diagram of the hydraulic drive device is as Figure 3 shown. The process of controlling the steering and output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 is as follows: First, the fixed-displacement hydraulic pump 13 in the hydraulic drive device sucks the oil fluid filtered by the filter 12 from the oil tank 11 under the drive of the motor and pressurizes it; then, the check valve 14 prevents the oil fluid from flowing back when the fixed-displacement hydraulic pump 13 stops working, and the relief valve 18 ensures that the outlet pressure of the fixed-displacement hydraulic pump 13 is always constant. At this time, the electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 of the hydraulic joint controls the flow direction and pressure of the hydraulic fluid flowing into the hydraulic swing joint 7 under the drive of the electrical signal provided by the corresponding servo amplifier, thereby controlling the steering and output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7.
[0040] In this embodiment, the control processing device processes the data to adjust the motion states of the hydraulic swing joint 7 and the double-acting piston cylinder 2 as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the specific process is as follows: First, the photoelectric encoder counting card, the liquid pressure sensor A / D acquisition card, and the tension-compression direction sensor 4 A / D acquisition card respectively collect the output data of the incremental photoelectric encoder 9, the liquid pressure sensor, and the tension-compression direction sensor 4, and transmit the combined data to the computer through the CAN bus; the computer obtains the target signal, and this target signal is transmitted to the servo amplifier through the CAN bus; then the servo amplifier generates the corresponding electrical signals respectively, and then transmits the electrical signals to the electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 of the hydraulic joint and the electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 of the piston cylinder to control the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7, the angular displacement of the hydraulic swing joint 7, or the output force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2.

Its test parameters include positioning accuracy, load capacity, and dynamic response ability, and its components include a loading device, a measuring device, a hydraulic drive circuit, and a control processing device.
[0042] In this embodiment, the working principle of the loading device is that the slider 5 connecting rod mechanism is used to convert the rotation of the joint into the linear motion of the slider 5, and a linear piston cylinder is used for loading, and the output load size is adjusted by the corresponding controller. The measuring device includes an incremental encoder connected to the hinge support shaft for measuring angular displacement and angular velocity; a piezoelectric sensor installed at the output end of the piston cylinder for measuring tensile and compressive forces. The hydraulic drive circuit includes the oil supply circuit of the hydraulic joint and the oil supply circuit of the linear piston cylinder, which are specifically composed of a fixed-displacement hydraulic pump 13, an electro-hydraulic servo valve 15, and other oil circuit auxiliary devices.

The small end of the connecting rod is installed on the bearing block 10 and can swing within a certain range. The incremental photoelectric encoder 9 is fixed on the bearing block 10, and the input shaft is connected to the shaft of the small end of the connecting rod. The bearing block 10 is fixed to the loading table 1 by threaded connection. The small end of the connecting rod is hinged to the slider 5, and the two can rotate relative to each other. The slider 5 moves linearly on the hydrostatic guide rail 3, and the hydrostatic support between the two results in very little friction. The hydrostatic guide rail 3 is fixed to the loading table 1 by threaded connection. The tension-compression direction sensor 4 is connected to the slider 5 and the piston rod of the double-acting piston cylinder 2 by threads to measure the tensile or compressive force between the two. The double-acting piston cylinder 2 is fixed to the loading table 1 by threaded connection.
[0044] In this embodiment, the quantitative hydraulic pump 13 sucks the oil filtered by the filter 12 from the oil tank 11 under the drive of the motor and pressurizes it. The check valve 14 prevents the oil from flowing back when the quantitative hydraulic pump 13 stops working.

The hydraulic joint electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 controls the flow direction and pressure of the liquid flowing into the hydraulic swing joint 7 under the drive of the electrical signal provided by the corresponding servo amplifier, so as to control the steering and output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7. The liquid pressure sensor measures the pressures at the inlet and outlet ports of the hydraulic swing joint 7, and thus calculates its output torque. The piston cylinder electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 controls the flow direction and pressure of the liquid flowing into the double-acting piston cylinder 2 under the drive of the electrical signal provided by the corresponding servo amplifier, so as to control the movement direction and output force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2. The liquid pressure sensor measures the pressures at the inlet and outlet ports of the double-acting piston cylinder 2, and thus calculates its output force.

The computer generates a target signal and transmits it to the servo amplifier through the CAN bus. The servo amplifier generates corresponding electrical signals respectively and transmits them to the hydraulic joint electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 and the piston cylinder electro-hydraulic servo valve 15 to control the output torque of the hydraulic swing joint 7 and the output force of the double-acting piston cylinder 2, or the angular displacement of the hydraulic swing joint 7.
[0046] In summary, this method uses a slider and connecting rod structure to convert rotation into linear motion, and then uses sensors for measurement. Its measurement cost is low and the measurement accuracy is high. Moreover, this method can also be used to calibrate the relationship between the actual output torque of the hydraulic swing joint and the input oil pressure.
