Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to a mechanical leg, a wheel-foot robot and a wheel-foot mobile terminal. Background Art

[0002] The structural forms of wheeled robots can be roughly divided into two categories. The first category has one end of the thigh unit connected to one end of the calf unit via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the calf unit is equipped with a drive device, which enables the wheeled robot to move. This type of wheeled robot is relatively flexible on flat ground, but has poor obstacle crossing and safety in more complex road conditions, such as steps or steep slopes. The second category has one end of the thigh unit fixedly connected to the middle end of the calf unit, and a front drive device and a rear drive device are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the calf unit. This type of wheeled robot has a certain degree of maneuverability on bumpy roads, small steps, and steep slopes. However, when encountering continuous steps, the fixed connection between the thigh unit and the calf unit makes it impossible to adjust the wheeled robot's center of gravity, resulting in poor obstacle crossing in complex road conditions such as continuous steps, and its flexibility is also poor on flat roads.

[0003] It can be seen that it is difficult for existing wheeled-legged robots to have both flexibility on flat roads and obstacle-crossing ability on complex road conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mechanical leg, a wheel-foot robot and a wheel-foot mobile terminal to solve the problem that existing wheel-foot robots find it difficult to balance flexibility on flat roads with obstacle-crossing performance on complex roads.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, on the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mechanical leg, comprising a thigh unit, a calf unit, and a knee joint drive device, wherein the thigh unit comprises a thigh bracket, the calf unit comprises a calf bracket, a first traveling wheel device connected to the front end of the calf bracket, and a second traveling wheel device connected to the rear end of the calf bracket;

[0006] The knee joint driving device includes a knee joint motor connected between the thigh support and the calf support; the knee joint motor is used to drive the thigh unit to rotate relative to the calf unit around a first axis to adjust the relative angle between the thigh support and the calf support;

[0007] The first traveling wheel device includes a first motor and a first traveling wheel connected to the output shaft end of the first motor; the first motor is used to drive the first traveling wheel to rotate around the second axis relative to the calf support;

[0008] The second traveling wheel device includes a second motor and a second traveling wheel connected to the output shaft end of the second motor; the second motor is used to drive the second traveling wheel to rotate relative to the calf support around a third axis;

[0009] The knee joint driving device is located between the first traveling wheel device and the second traveling wheel device, and the axis of the first motor, the axis of the second motor and the axis of the knee joint motor are parallel.

[0010] In the mechanical leg of the embodiment of the present invention, the thigh unit and the shank unit are directly connected through the knee joint motor, and the knee joint motor is used to drive the thigh unit to rotate relative to the shank unit around the first axis. By controlling the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor and transmitting this speed, torque, etc. to the shank unit through the output shaft end, the posture and center of gravity of the wheeled robot using the mechanical leg are adjusted and maintained. In this way, the angle adjustment between the thigh unit and the shank unit can be accurately and effectively achieved. The angle adjustment between the thigh unit and the shank unit can change the relative angle between the thigh unit and the shank unit so that at least one of the first traveling wheel device connected to the front end of the shank support and the second traveling wheel device connected to the rear end of the shank support can be lifted off the ground. In this way, the wheeled robot (four wheels) using the mechanical leg can switch between a two-wheel drive mode (only one of the first traveling wheel device and the second traveling wheel device is on the ground) and a four-wheel drive mode (both the first traveling wheel device and the second traveling wheel device are on the ground), realizing two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes of the wheeled robot. Switching the wheeled robot to two-wheel drive mode allows it to travel flexibly and quickly on flat ground or gentle slopes; switching it to four-wheel drive mode ensures its ability to navigate complex obstacles such as continuous steps and steep slopes. This ensures a good balance between flexibility on flat roads and obstacle-crossing capabilities on complex road conditions.

[0043] The wheeled-legged robot according to the embodiment of the present invention has all the advantages of the aforementioned mechanical legs.

[0044] When the wheeled-legged robot adopts the two-wheel drive mode, the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor are controlled and transmitted to the calf unit through its output shaft end, thereby controlling the relative angle between the thigh unit and the calf unit and realizing the two-wheel drive standing posture of the wheeled-legged robot.

[0045] When the wheeled robot is in a two-wheel drive standing posture, it relies on one of the first and second traveling wheel devices that is on the ground to provide driving power. Taking the first traveling wheel device on the ground as an example, the first motor transmits the rotational speed, torque, etc. to the first traveling wheel through its output shaft end, thereby rotating the first traveling wheel, thereby driving the wheeled robot to travel. By controlling the output speed and torque of the first motor, the driving requirements of the wheeled robot under different working conditions in the two-wheel drive mode are met. Taking the second traveling wheel device on the ground as an example, the second motor transmits the rotational speed, torque, etc. to the second traveling wheel through its output shaft end, thereby rotating the second traveling wheel, thereby driving the wheeled robot to travel. By controlling the output speed and torque of the second motor, the driving requirements of the wheeled robot under different working conditions in the two-wheel drive mode are met.

[0046] When the wheeled robot adopts four-wheel drive, the first traveling wheel device and the second traveling wheel device are both on the ground. By controlling the output speed and torque of the first motor and the second motor respectively, the driving requirements of the wheeled robot under different working conditions in the four-wheel drive mode are realized.

[0047] During the wheeled robot's travel, the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor can be controlled to change the relative angle between the thigh and shank units to adapt to different driving conditions. For example, when encountering a series of steps, the relative angle between the thigh and shank units can be adjusted in real time. By adjusting the wheeled robot's center of gravity, it can more easily overcome obstacles and improve its obstacle-crossing performance. When encountering uneven roads, the relative angle between the thigh and shank units can be adjusted in real time to adapt to the contact between the driving wheels and the road surface, reducing vibration transmitted to the wheeled robot by the road surface and improving its comfort.

[0048] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wheel-legged mobile terminal, which includes the above-mentioned wheel-legged robot.

[0049] The wheeled-legged mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention has all the advantages of the wheeled-legged robot described above. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0077] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0078] In this article, please refer to the front, back, left, right, top, and bottom directions. Figure 1 The coordinates shown are shown. Here, "front" represents the forward direction of the wheeled robot, and "rear" represents the backward direction of the wheeled robot. "Inside" and "outside" are relative to the center of the base 10; that is, the direction toward the center of the base 10 is considered "inside," and the direction away from the center of the base 10 is considered "outside."

[0079] First embodiment

[0080] See also Figures 1 to 7 The wheeled robot provided in the first embodiment of the present invention is a four-wheeled robot, including a base 10 and mechanical legs 20 connected to the left and right sides of the base 10, each of the mechanical legs 20 includes a thigh unit 1, a calf unit 2 and a knee joint drive device 3, the thigh unit 1 includes a thigh support 11, the calf unit 2 includes a calf support 21, a first traveling wheel device 22 connected to the front end of the calf support 21 and a second traveling wheel device 25 connected to the rear end of the calf support 21.

[0081] The knee joint driving device 3 includes a knee joint motor 31 connected between the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21; the knee joint motor 23 is used to drive the thigh unit 1 to rotate relative to the calf unit 2 around the first axis to adjust the relative angle between the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21.

[0082] The first traveling wheel device 22 includes a first motor 221 and a first traveling wheel 222 connected to the output shaft end of the first motor 221; the first motor 221 is used to drive the first traveling wheel 222 to rotate around a second axis relative to the calf support 21; the second traveling wheel device 25 includes a second motor 251 and a second traveling wheel 252 connected to the output shaft end of the second motor 251; the second motor 251 is used to drive the second traveling wheel 252 to rotate around a third axis relative to the calf support 21.

[0083] The knee joint driving device 3 includes a knee joint motor 31 connected between the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21; the knee joint motor 23 is used to drive the thigh unit 1 to rotate relative to the calf unit 2 around the first axis to adjust the relative angle between the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21.

[0084] The knee joint driving device 3 is located between the first traveling wheel device 22 and the second traveling wheel device 25 , and the axis of the first motor 221 and the axis of the second motor 251 are parallel to the axis of the knee joint motor 31 .

[0085] In the mechanical leg 20 and wheeled-foot robot of the first embodiment of the present invention, the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2 are directly connected via a knee joint motor 31. The knee joint motor 31 is used to drive the thigh unit 1 to rotate relative to the calf unit 2 around a first axis. By controlling the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor 23 and transmitting this speed, torque, etc. to the calf unit 2 through the output shaft end, the posture and center of gravity of the wheeled-foot robot using the mechanical leg 20 are adjusted and maintained. In this way, the angle adjustment between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2 can be achieved accurately and effectively. The angle adjustment between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2 can change the relative angle between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2, so that at least one of the first traveling wheel device 22 connected to the front end of the calf support 11 and the second traveling wheel device 25 connected to the rear end of the calf support 21 can be lifted off the ground. In this way, a wheeled robot (four wheels) using the mechanical legs 20 can switch between a two-wheel drive mode (only one of the first and second traveling wheel devices 22 and 25 is on the ground) and a four-wheel drive mode (both the first and second traveling wheel devices 22 and 25 are on the ground), thus achieving both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes for the wheeled robot. When the wheeled robot is switched to two-wheel drive mode, it can travel flexibly and quickly on flat ground or gentle slopes; when the wheeled robot is switched to four-wheel drive mode, it can ensure the wheeled robot's ability to overcome obstacles in complex working conditions such as continuous steps and steep slopes. In this way, it is possible to strike a good balance between flexibility on flat roads and obstacle-crossing ability on complex road conditions.

[0086] The axis of the first motor 221 and the axis of the second motor 251 are parallel to the axis of the knee joint motor 31, so that the rotation of the knee joint motor 31 of the wheeled robot using the mechanical leg 20 is more flexible.

[0087] The distance between the axis of the first motor 221 and the axis of the knee joint motor 31 is greater than the distance between the axis of the second motor 251 and the axis of the knee joint motor 31. That is, the knee joint driving device 3 is closer to the second traveling wheel device 25.

[0088] The first traveling wheel device 22 is a front-wheel drive device, and the second traveling wheel device 25 is a rear-wheel drive device. That is, the first traveling wheel device 22 is not coaxial with the knee joint drive device 3, and the second traveling wheel device 25 is not coaxial with the knee joint drive device 3. In this way, the size of the knee joint and the difficulty of arrangement can be reduced, the structural design is simpler, the mechanical structure is more reliable, and the structure is more compact, which makes the wheeled robot lightweight and improves the endurance of the wheeled robot. At least one of the first traveling wheel device 22 and the second traveling wheel device 25 can be detached from the calf bracket 21. When switching from the four-wheel drive mode to the two-wheel drive mode, the non-ground traveling wheel device can be removed and switched to the two-wheel drive mode. Compared with the non-ground traveling wheel device being suspended (not disassembled), disassembling the non-ground traveling wheel device can reduce the weight and volume of the wheeled robot, and can travel flexibly and quickly on flat ground or gentle slope conditions.

[0089] Preferably, the first traveling wheel device 22 and the second traveling wheel device 25 can be detached from the calf bracket 21. In this way, the wheeled robot can select front drive and rear drive in the two-wheel drive mode.

[0090] The first axis, the second axis and the third axis are parallel to each other, so as to ensure the vertical state of the first traveling wheel 222 and the second traveling wheel 252 and improve the driving stability.

[0091] The housing of the first motor 221 is fixed to the front end of the calf support 21, and the housing of the second motor 251 is fixed to the rear end of the calf support 21. At least one of the housing of the first motor 221 and the housing of the second motor 251 is detachably connected to the calf support 21. Preferably, the housing of the first motor 221 is detachably connected to the calf support 21, and the housing of the second motor 251 is detachably connected to the calf support 21.

[0092] The housing of the knee joint motor 31 is fixed to the middle of the calf support 21. The output shaft end 311 of the knee joint motor 31 is connected to the lower end of the thigh support 11. The rotation axis of the output shaft end 311 of the knee joint motor 31 coincides with the first axis. This ensures that there is no eccentricity between the rotation axes (first axis) of the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21 and the rotation axis of the output shaft end 311 of the knee joint motor 31, improving the rotational stability of the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21 and the operating efficiency of the knee joint motor 31.

[0093] The output shaft end 311 of the knee joint motor 31 is provided with a rotation-limiting groove 3111, and the lower end of the thigh support 11 is provided with a rotation-limiting boss 110. The rotation-limiting boss 110 is inserted into the rotation-limiting groove 3111 to limit the relative rotation between the thigh support 11 and the output shaft end 311 of the knee joint motor 31. In other words, the output shaft end 311 of the knee joint motor 31 is fixed to the thigh support 11.

[0094] The cross section of the rotation limiting boss 110 is a non-circular shape such as a polygon or an ellipse, and is shown as a hexagon in the figure. The cross section of the rotation limiting groove 3111 matches the cross section of the rotation limiting boss 110, and is shown as a hexagon in the figure.

[0095] The calf support includes a calf support front section 211, a calf support rear section 212 and a calf support middle section 213 connected between the calf support front section 211 and the calf support rear section 212.

[0100] Preferably, the outer fixing ring 2132 of the knee joint motor is integrally formed with the rear section 212 of the calf support to simplify installation.

[0101] The inner fixing ring 2131 of the knee joint motor is detachably connected to the front section 211 and the rear section 213 of the calf support. Specifically, a third sawtooth structure 21112 is provided on the inner side of the rear end of the calf support front section 211, and a fourth sawtooth structure 2121 is provided on the inner side of the front end of the calf support rear section 212.

By removing the bolts on the second motor outer fixing ring 2122, the second traveling wheel device 25 can be detached from the calf support 21.

[0103] The rear portion (left and right extending portion) of the calf support front section 211, the calf support middle section 213, and the calf support rear section 212 form a square frame, and the knee joint drive device 3 and the second motor 251 are located within the square frame. In this way, the square frame can provide protection for the knee joint drive device 3 and the second motor 251.

[0104] The thigh support 11 includes an inner mounting frame 111 , an outer mounting frame 112 and a connecting frame 113 connected between the inner mounting frame 111 and the outer mounting frame 112 .

[0105] The knee joint motor 31 is provided with output shaft ends 311 at both axial ends. One output shaft end of the knee joint motor 31 is connected to the lower end of the inner mounting frame 111, and the other output shaft end of the knee joint motor 31 is connected to the lower end of the outer mounting frame 112. Preferably, the lower ends of the inner mounting frame 111 and the outer mounting frame 112 are both provided with the rotation-limiting boss 110. Correspondingly, both output shaft ends of the knee joint drive device 3 are provided with rotation-limiting grooves 3111.

[0106] The knee joint drive device 3 also includes a torsion spring, and the torsion spring 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the housing of the knee joint motor 31. The inner ring of the torsion spring 32 is in close contact with the outer periphery of the housing of the knee joint motor 31. One of the free ends 321 of the torsion spring 32 is fixed to the thigh support 11, and the other free end 321 of the torsion spring 32 is fixed to the calf support 21. When the wheeled robot is stationary and moving, the torsion spring 32 of the knee joint drive device 3 uses its own elastic deformation to provide auxiliary support for maintaining the posture of the wheeled robot and increase the carrying capacity of the wheeled robot. In addition, it also saves the power consumption of the knee joint motor 31, reduces the power consumption of the wheeled robot, and improves its endurance. In addition, the torsion spring 32 has a shock-absorbing effect, reducing the impact force when the wheeled robot passes an obstacle.

[0107] The thigh support 11 is provided with a first locking structure (not shown in the figure) for fixing one free end 321 of the torsion spring 32, and the calf support 21 is provided with a second locking structure 24 for fixing the other free end 321 of the torsion spring 32. Specifically, the first locking structure and the second locking structure 24 are fixed or integrally formed on the inner wall surface of the square frame.

[0108] The first locking structure is a first open ring, the interior of which is formed with a first slot opening toward the knee joint motor 31, and one free end 321 of the torsion spring 32 is clamped in the first slot. Figure 3 The second locking structure 24 is a second open ring 241 , and a second slot is formed inside the second open ring 241 with an opening toward the knee joint motor 31 , and the other free end 321 of the torsion spring 32 is mounted in the second slot. Figure 3 In the embodiment, two second open rings 241 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction to enhance the connection strength of the other free end 321 of the torsion spring 32. Of course, one or more than three second open rings 241 may also be arranged.

[0109] However, a snap ring may be used to replace at least one of the first open ring and the second open ring 241. The free end 321 of the torsion spring 32 may be inserted into the snap ring to fix the free end 321 of the torsion spring 32.

[0110] See also Figure 1 When both the first and second traveling wheel assemblies 22, 25 are mounted on the calf support 21 and both are on the ground, a four-wheel drive mode can be used. When the wheeled robot uses four-wheel drive, the output speed and torque of the first and second motors 221, 251 are controlled separately to meet the driving requirements of the wheeled robot under different operating conditions in the four-wheel drive mode.

[0111] In the four-wheel drive mode, the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor 31 are controlled to control the relative angles of the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2, so that one of the first and second traveling wheel devices 22 and 25 touches the ground and the other is suspended in the air, and the wheeled robot switches from the four-wheel drive mode to the two-wheel drive mode. Figure 17 , the first traveling wheel device 22 is on the ground, and the second traveling wheel device 25 is suspended. In addition, the suspended second traveling wheel device 25 can be removed as needed to reduce the weight and volume of the wheel-foot robot during travel, increase its passability, and reduce energy consumption.

[0112] When the wheeled-legged robot adopts a two-wheel drive mode, the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor 31 are controlled, and this speed, torque, etc. are transmitted to the calf unit 2 through its output shaft end, thereby controlling the relative angle between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2, and realizing the two-wheel drive standing posture of the wheeled-legged robot.

[0113] When the wheeled robot is in a two-wheel drive standing posture, the driving force is provided by the one of the first traveling wheel device 22 and the second traveling wheel device 23 that is on the ground. Figure 17 Taking the first traveling wheel device 22 landing on the ground as an example, the first motor 221 transmits the speed, torque, etc. to the first traveling wheel 222 through its output shaft end, realizing the rotation of the first traveling wheel 222, thereby driving the wheeled robot to move. By controlling the output speed and torque of the first motor 221, the driving requirements of the wheeled robot under different working conditions in the two-wheel drive mode are realized.

[0114] During the wheeled-leg robot's travel, the output speed and torque of the knee joint motor 31 can be controlled to change the relative angle between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2 to adapt to the travel requirements of different working conditions. For example, when encountering continuous steps, the relative angle between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2 can be adjusted in real time. By adjusting the center of gravity of the wheeled-leg robot, it can be made easier to overcome obstacles, thereby improving its obstacle-crossing performance. When encountering uneven roads, the relative angle between the thigh unit 1 and the calf unit 2 can be adjusted in real time to adapt to the contact between the traveling wheels and the road surface, reducing the vibration transmitted to the wheeled-leg robot by the road surface and improving the comfort of the wheeled-leg robot.

[0115] When the wheeled robot is traveling on a relatively flat road or slope, one of the first traveling wheel device 22 and the second traveling wheel device 25 is removed from the calf support 21 or hung in the air (see Figure 17 ), adopts a two-wheel drive mode to achieve a standing form, and realizes the movement of the wheeled robot through the first traveling wheel device 22; when the wheeled robot encounters a higher step, continuous stairs or steep slope, see Figure 18 The first traveling wheel device 22 and the second traveling wheel device 25 are driven together to realize a four-wheel drive mode, thereby improving obstacle crossing capability and safety in complex road conditions.

[0116] like Figure 1 As shown, the mechanical leg 20 includes a first traveling wheel device 22 and a second traveling wheel device 25, and the wheeled robot is a four-wheeled robot. When the four wheels (two first traveling wheels 222 and two second traveling wheels 252) touch the ground at the same time, the wheeled robot is in a wheeled mode.

[0117] When the second traveling wheel device 25 is no longer needed to drive, the second traveling wheel device 25 can be detached from the calf bracket 21, and the mechanical leg 20 only includes the first traveling wheel device 22. At this time, two wheels (two first traveling wheels 222) are on the ground, and the wheel-foot robot is in foot mode.

[0118] Alternatively, see Figure 17 When the second traveling wheel assembly 25 is no longer needed, the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21 can be rotated a certain angle, so that the first traveling wheel assembly 22 is on the ground and the second traveling wheel assembly 25 is off the ground. The robotic leg 20 is then driven only by the first traveling wheel assembly 22, and the second motor 252 of the second traveling wheel assembly 25 is not powered. In this state, both wheels are on the ground, and the wheeled-leg robot is in the foot-type mode.

[0119] Therefore, the wheeled-legged robot of this embodiment can realize dual-mode switching between wheeled and legged modes.

[0120] Referring to the figure, the upper end of the thigh support 11 of the robotic leg 20 is rotatably connected to the base 10. The robotic leg 20 also includes a hip joint motor 4. The hip joint motor 4 is mounted on the upper end of the thigh support 11 and is used to drive the base 10 to rotate relative to the thigh support 11 about a fourth axis; wherein the fourth axis is parallel to the first axis.

[0121] The base 10 includes a bottom plate 101 and a mounting base 102 disposed below the bottom plate 101. The upper end of the thigh support 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 102. The housing of the hip joint motor 4 is fixed to the mounting base 102. The output shaft end of the hip joint motor 4 is connected to the upper end of the thigh support 11; the rotation axis of the output shaft end of the hip joint motor 4 coincides with the fourth axis.

[0124] The controller 40 may be mounted on the base plate 101, the calf support 21 or the thigh support 11. For example, see Figure 1 The controller 40 is installed on the connecting frame 113 of the thigh support 11.

The double-ended output of the hip joint motor 4 makes the relative rotation of the thigh support 11 and the base 10 more stable.

[0127] It also includes an inner flange 5 and an outer flange 6, the inner flange 5 is arranged between the inner connecting ear 1021 and the inner connecting plate 114, the outer flange 6 is arranged between the outer connecting ear 1022 and the outer connecting plate 115, the inner flange 5 is fixed on the inner connecting plate 114, one output shaft end of the hip joint motor 4 is connected to the inner flange 5, the outer flange 6 is fixed on the outer connecting plate 115, and the other output shaft end of the hip joint motor 4 is connected to the outer flange 6.

[0128] A gyroscope can also be installed on the base 10. The center of gravity of the wheel-foot robot can be adjusted by the gyroscope and each motor.

[0129] See also Figure 16By adjusting the relative angle b between the thigh support 11 and the base plate 101 through the hip joint motor 31 and combining the adjustment of the gyroscope, the base 10 can always be level.

[0130] Also, see Figure 16 、 Figure 18 and Figure 19 When the wheeled robot is idle, the relative angle a between the thigh support 11 and the base 101 can be adjusted to 0 (or close to 0), and the relative angle b between the thigh support 11 and the calf support 21 can be adjusted to 0 (or close to 0). The wheeled robot can be folded completely to save storage space.
