Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of legged devices, and particularly to a two-degree-of-freedom mechanical leg for a legged robot based on a self-locking worm and worm gear transmission pair. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrial automation, the demand for robots to operate in complex environments is increasing day by day. This not only requires robots to adapt to complex terrains but also to have high-precision motion control capabilities. In this context, the ball screw drive mechanism plays an important role. In the leg structure design of legged robots, the ball screw drive mechanism is widely used. By converting rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa, it can achieve high-precision displacement control. For example, in the extension and contraction actions of the leg joints of a robot, the ball screw drive mechanism can precisely control the extension length and angle of the leg, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the leg movements when the robot walks, climbs, etc. Compared with traditional drive methods, the ball screw drive mechanism has higher transmission efficiency and positioning accuracy, reducing energy loss, which is crucial for legged robots that need to operate in complex environments for a long time.

[0003] Traditional wheeled and tracked robots are significantly restricted in movement when faced with rough and obstacle-filled terrains. For example, in disaster rescue scenarios such as the rubble after an earthquake and the chaotic environment at a fire scene, wheeled and tracked robots are difficult to penetrate deeply. However, due to the adoption of advanced technologies including the ball screw drive mechanism, legged robots can cross ditches and climb over rubble through flexible leg movements, achieving efficient search and rescue. In industrial production, in some narrow and terrain-variable working areas, legged robots can also complete tasks more conveniently, meeting the new requirements of industrial production for the ability of robots to adapt to complex environments.

[0004] There have also been many previous studies on the mechanical leg structures for legged robots. In Patent CN 219237214 U, a two-degree-of-freedom robot leg structure and robot were proposed. By moving the position of the actuator upward and using a rocker arm, a push rod, and a universal joint in cooperation with the actuator to achieve the rolling and pitching movements of the foot plate, the inertial force generated in the leg during movement was reduced, but the structure was too cumbersome and redundant; in Patent CN 118182677 B, a humanoid robot leg structure and robot were proposed. Hinge ends, extension segments, and lower connection ends were provided between the thigh and the calf, reducing the assembly cost and assembly error, but the transmission accuracy was insufficient, and it was impossible to ensure an accurate transmission ratio between the thigh and the calf.

[0005] Therefore, to solve the above problems, a two-degree-of-freedom mechanical leg for a legged robot based on a self-locking worm and worm gear transmission pair is required, which can meet the large and accurate transmission ratio between the thigh and the calf under the condition of a streamlined structure, improve the load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency, and at the same time have the function of rotating in a predetermined direction, making it more in line with bionics. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners

[0041] Figures 1 to 7 This is the schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention. As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the two-degree-of-freedom mechanical leg for a legged robot based on a self-locking worm and worm gear transmission pair in this embodiment includes a thigh part 2 and a calf part 3 hinged through a knee pivot 1. The thigh part 2 is cylindrical, and there is a protection section 4 near the hinged part with the calf part 3 that shields the knee pivot 1 and the front end of the calf part 3. The wall thickness of the protection section 4 is thicker than that of the cylindrical thigh part 2, and the structural stability is better. The calf part 3 is hinged to the protection section 4 of the thigh part 2 through the knee pivot 1 under the protection of the protection section 4, and there is a notch on the thigh part 2 to avoid the movement trajectory of the calf part 3. This notch is located at the bottom of the protection section 4 and also forms a clamping on the calf part 3 to facilitate the retracting and extending movement of the calf part 3 relative to the thigh part 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, it further includes a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission rod and a connecting rod 5; the connecting rod 5 has a first end hinged to the transmission rod through a connecting shaft I 6 and a second end hinged to the calf part 3 through a connecting shaft II 7; the thigh part 2 and the transmission rod are on the same side of the calf part 3. More specifically, the second end of the connecting rod 5 hinged to the calf part 3 is close to the knee pivot 1 to make the operation of the calf part 3 and the thigh part 2 more stable; the first end of the connecting rod 5 hinged to the transmission rod extends into the cylindrical structure of the thigh part 2 and is driven by the transmission rod under protection, and the structure is more compact. From the outside, it only includes the structures of the thigh part 2 and the calf part 3; the axes of the connecting shaft I 6, the connecting shaft II 7, and the knee pivot 1 are parallel; so that the calf part 3 is driven by the transmission rod to drive the connecting rod 5 to swing relative to the thigh part 2 around the knee pivot 1 to complete the bionic walking function.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, the transmission rod is driven by the first transmission pair to approach or move away from the knee pivot 1, so that the lower leg 3 is driven by the connecting rod 5 to swing around the knee pivot 1;

[0044] The first transmission pair includes an end face worm and worm gear assembly Ⅰ and a reverse planetary roller screw assembly; the end face worm and worm gear assembly Ⅰ includes an end face worm gear Ⅰ 8 and a worm Ⅰ 9 that are drivingly connected, and the end face worm and worm gear assembly Ⅰ has a self-locking function.

[0045] The reverse planetary roller screw assembly includes a screw 10, a nut 11, a plurality of rollers 12 and a cage 13. The plurality of rollers 12 are limited to the screw 10 by the cage 13. The cage 13 includes two parts arranged up and down. The screw 10 is drivingly connected to the nut 11 through the plurality of rollers 12, and the screw 10 is driven by the nut 11 through the plurality of rollers 12 to run in a predetermined direction.

[0046] One end face of the end face worm gear Ⅰ 8 and the nut 11 in the axial direction is fixed. The nut 11 is driven to rotate by the worm Ⅰ 9 through the end face worm gear Ⅰ 8. The screw 10, as the transmission rod of the transmission mechanism, is hinged to the connecting rod 5.

[0047] Wherein the screw 10 is guided to extend or retract forward, so that the transmission rod drives the lower leg 3 to swing around the knee pivot 1 by the connecting rod 5; preferably, a guiding member 14 with a larger radial dimension is provided at one end of the screw 10 hinged to the connecting rod 5. The guiding member 14 fits with the inner wall of the sleeve, so that the screw 10 is further guided when driving the connecting rod 5, improving the running stability and ensuring the running accuracy of the mechanism.

[0048] The screw 10 of the reverse planetary roller screw assembly is coaxially arranged with the sleeve; the reverse planetary roller screw assembly is arranged in the sleeve, and the reverse planetary roller screw assembly is arranged at one end of the sleeve away from the knee pivot 1, wrapped by the sleeve and limited by the bearing platform in the sleeve, so that the overall structure is more compact; there is no external surface transmission mechanism during operation, the overall operation is more concise, and the structure is more beautiful.

[0049] Wherein the worm and worm gear mechanism and the reverse planetary roller screw mechanism are the same as the existing structures, and only need to be assembled after the corresponding parameters are determined, which will not be elaborated here; the advantages of the large transmission ratio of the end face worm and worm gear mechanism and the high efficiency and accuracy of the reverse planetary roller screw mechanism are combined together, having the advantages of high transmission efficiency and high reliability, and improving the comprehensive performance of the mechanical leg joint.

[0050] In this embodiment, there is a rotational clearance between the nut 11 with the end face worm gear I 8 and the sleeve used as the thigh part 2; a bearing I 15 is arranged in the rotational clearance. The outer ring of the bearing I 15 is fixed to the sleeve, and the inner ring of the bearing I 15 is fixed to the nut 11 in the reverse planetary roller screw assembly; two bearings I 15 are arranged along the axial direction of the nut 11, and the two bearings I 15 are correspondingly arranged at both ends of the nut 11 to ensure the running stability of the lead screw 10.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the transmission mechanism further includes a second transmission pair for driving the thigh part 2 to rotate in a predetermined direction; the second transmission pair includes the sleeve serving as the thigh part 2, and the sleeve is driven by the second transmission pair to rotate around its own axis.

[0052] The second transmission pair further includes an end face worm gear assembly II, and the end face worm gear assembly II includes a transmission-connected end face worm gear II 16 and a worm II 17, and the end face worm gear assembly I has a self-locking function.

[0053] The end face worm gear II 16 is fixed to the end face of the thigh part 2 axially close to the end face worm gear I 8. The thigh part 2 is driven to rotate by the worm II 17 through the end face worm gear II 16; the tooth surfaces of the end face worm gear I 8 and the end face worm gear II 16 are close to each other at one axial end of the sleeve, and the rotational clearance is located between the nut 11 with the end face worm gear I 8 and the sleeve with the end face worm gear II 16.

[0054] The worm gear transmission mechanism can perform frequent forward and reverse operations, and runs safely and reliably. It can actively drive the thigh to run in a predetermined direction. It should be understood that this solution is adapted with an angle encoder electrically connected to the control system and the information processing system of the device, and thus can accurately control the rotation angle and direction of the thigh, and the anthropomorphic bionic structure is better.

[0055] In this embodiment, it further includes a housing 18. The housing 18 covers one end of the sleeve where the reverse planetary roller screw assembly is arranged. A bearing II 19 is arranged between the sleeve and the housing 18. The outer ring of the bearing II 19 is fixed to the housing 18, and the inner ring of the bearing II 19 is fixed to the sleeve; two bearings II 19 are arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve, and the two bearings II 19 are correspondingly arranged at both ends of the sleeve to ensure the running stability of the sleeve.

[0056] In this embodiment, a power output assembly is further included. The power output assembly is hidden inside the housing 18, making the structure of the two-degree-of-freedom mechanical leg for a legged robot based on a self-locking worm and worm gear transmission pair more concise. The power output assembly includes a motor 20 as a power source and a pushing mechanism (not shown in the figure) for driving the motor 20 to shift inside the housing 18. Since only the motor 20 needs to move in a two-dimensional plane in this solution, a displacement assembly such as a double-axis linear motion in the prior art can be correspondingly used; of course, if a three-degree-of-freedom or multi-degree-of-freedom displacement of the motor 20 is required, the displacement assembly is correspondingly selected, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] The power output assembly includes a power output end Ⅰ for inputting power to the first transmission pair and the second transmission pair. The power output assembly further includes a power output end Ⅱ for inputting power to the first transmission pair; the power output assembly includes a driving gear Ⅰ21 and a driving gear Ⅱ22 driven by a power source. The power output assembly further includes a driven gear Ⅰ23 arranged in transmission connection with the worm Ⅰ9 and the driving gear Ⅰ21 or the driving gear Ⅱ22 and a driven gear Ⅱ24 arranged in transmission connection with the worm Ⅱ17 and the driving gear Ⅰ21; while the driving gear Ⅰ21 is driven as the power output end Ⅰ, it engages the driven gear Ⅰ23 and the driven gear Ⅱ24, so that while the thigh part 2 drives the calf part 3 to swing around the knee pivot 1, the thigh part 2 also deflects in a predetermined direction; the driving gear Ⅱ22 is driven as the power output end Ⅱ and engages the driven gear Ⅰ23, so that the thigh part 2 drives the calf part 3 to swing around the knee pivot 1.

[0058] The driving gear Ⅰ21 and the driving gear Ⅱ22 are coaxially arranged at the power output end of the power source, and the power output end of the power source is controlled to shift so that the driving gear Ⅰ21 simultaneously engages the driven gear Ⅰ23 and the driven gear Ⅱ24 or the driving gear Ⅱ22 engages the driven gear Ⅰ23.

[0059] Specifically, the driving gear Ⅰ21 and the driving gear Ⅱ22 are coaxially arranged on the power output shaft of the motor 20, and the driven gear Ⅰ23 and the driven gear Ⅱ24 are respectively coaxially sleeved and fixed on the worm Ⅰ9 and the worm Ⅱ17. The motor 20 is driven to shift, and according to the corresponding working conditions, the driving gear Ⅰ21 simultaneously engages the driven gear Ⅰ23 and the driven gear Ⅱ24 or the driving gear Ⅱ22 engages the driven gear Ⅰ23; realizing the independent walking of the two-degree-of-freedom mechanical leg for a legged robot based on a self-locking worm and worm gear transmission pair at any angle, being closer to the process of human leg walking, making the movement of the legged robot more intelligent and efficient, and being able to be independently applied to corresponding mechanical equipment or devices, with a wider scope of application.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
