Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robotic arm control technology, and specifically to a data acquisition structure based on a small-space arm span and a method for constructing a digital twin model. Background Art

[0002] A telescopic arm is a type of robotic arm that can be extended and retracted in confined environments. It typically consists of multiple nested arms that are driven by hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric forces, allowing for flexible adjustments to the working range within confined spaces. In the industrial sector, it can be used for equipment maintenance and pipeline installation; in building renovation, it can assist with wall spraying and ceiling work; and in rescue scenarios, it facilitates exploration and rescue operations within rubble crevices. This telescopic arm has the advantages of taking up little space, being flexible, and being able to precisely reach the target location.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN117565089B discloses a multi-degree-of-freedom tool-changing robot suitable for large-diameter shield machines, including a robot base, a fuselage and an end effector; the robot base is used to be set in the manhole of the shield machine, and the robot base extends from the entrance of the manhole of the shield machine toward the cutter head of the shield machine; the fuselage is set on the robot base, and the fuselage includes a translation mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a fine-tuning mechanism, a two-way rotation mechanism and a wrist mechanism; the translation mechanism can drive the fuselage to move along the length direction of the robot base, and the translation mechanism is connected to the end effector through the lifting mechanism, the fine-tuning mechanism, the two-way rotation mechanism and the wrist mechanism, and the lifting mechanism, the fine-tuning mechanism, the two-way rotation mechanism, the wrist mechanism and the end effector are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the robot base.

[0004] However, there are still some problems with the above-mentioned prior art. The robot mechanisms in the above-mentioned prior art are mostly used in a relatively small space. Then, according to the information collected by the first data acquisition device set therein, the position of the clamp is planned, and the position of the clamp is indirectly controlled, so that the bolt removal unit located on the clamp can remove the bolt. However, the position of the above-mentioned first data acquisition device is relatively fixed. Since it is located in a relatively small space, when visual inspection is required in other directions, the entire clamp needs to be flipped. During the flipping process, the clamp will collide with other steel structures in the shield machine, which may easily cause damage to the shield machine. At the same time, when the above-mentioned device is performing data collection, the data collected is too single, and it is impossible to construct a three-dimensional posture of the position of the shield machine itself, and it is impossible to collect and measure the position of the obstacle, which will cause a collision between the device and the obstacle, causing damage to the device.

[0005] Therefore, how to prevent the robotic arm from colliding with other structures when moving in a small space is a problem that needs to be solved at present. Summary of the Invention

At the same time, it is also possible to construct a three-dimensional posture model of the robotic arm 2, and complete the construction of the digital twin model by integrating the collected information with the three-dimensional posture model of the robot body 1; the obstacles in the small space area are visually collected by the set first data acquisition device 24 and the second data acquisition device 3, and the collected information is transmitted to the main control system, and the position of the clamp 22 is planned and controlled according to the collected information to avoid collision between the clamp 22 and the shield machine during the position adjustment process, thereby causing damage to the shield machine or the clamp 22; the three-dimensional posture model includes but is not limited to the geometric model and physical model of the robot body 1.

[0024] The second data acquisition device 3 includes a mounting base 31 built into the end effector 21, a driving component 32 arranged in the mounting base 31, and two acquisition components 33 symmetrically arranged on the driving component 32; the initial acquisition areas of the two acquisition components 33 are opposite.

[0025] The driving assembly 32 includes a driving portion, two supports 325 symmetrically arranged on the mounting seat 31, a first extension arm 326 movably connected to the support 325, a second extension arm 329 movably connected to the first extension arm 326, and a connecting rod 324 for connecting the first extension arm 326 and the driving portion; the first extension arm 326 is provided with a driving member 327 movably connected thereto, and a steel ball 328 arranged on the driving member 327; a fisheye bearing is provided at one end of the connecting rod 324, the steel ball 328 is located in the fisheye bearing and movably connected to the fisheye bearing; the driving portion includes two second bevel gears 323 arranged on the mounting seat 31 , a first bevel gear 322 that meshes with the second bevel gear 323, and a driving motor 321 connected to the first bevel gear 322 and located on the mounting seat 31; the other end of the connecting rod 324 is connected to the eccentric point of the second bevel gear 323; when the driving assembly 32 starts working, the driving motor 321 in the driving assembly 32 starts working, and the moving driving motor 321 can drive the first bevel gear 322 to rotate, so that the moving first bevel gear 322 can drive the second bevel gear 323 to rotate, and the moving second bevel gear 323 can drive the connecting rod 324 to move, and the moving connecting rod 324 can drive the fisheye bearing to move, so that the steel ball 328 can rotate in the fisheye bearing, thereby driving the driving member 327 to move. Since the first arm 326 is movably connected to the support 325 and the driving member 327 respectively, when the driving member 327 starts to work, the first arm 326 can be moved around the support 325. At the same time, since the first arm 326 and the second arm 329 are movably connected, the second arm 329 can be driven to move, thereby adjusting the collection position of the collection assembly 33 located on the second arm 329. Through the above-mentioned structure, first, when the collection is not in progress, the first arm 326 can be moved close to the outer wall of the mounting seat 31 by the operation of the driving motor 321 to shorten the distance between the first arm 326 and the second arm 329. The distance between the first and second arms 326 and 329 and the end effector 21 can avoid damage to the arm or the collection component 33 when the device moves in a small space; at the same time, by dividing the integrated arm into two movably connected first arms 326 and second arms 329, when the collection component 33 is damaged, it is only necessary to disassemble the second arm 329 to complete the replacement of the collection component 33, and there is no need to disassemble the end effector 21. At the same time, when the drive motor 321 is working, the connection between the first arm 326 and the second arm 329 is located outside the end effector 21, thereby improving the work efficiency of the maintenance personnel and avoiding occupying a large space, so that it can also perform detection work in a small space.

[0026] The driving assembly 32 includes a rotating motor 3218 built into the mounting base 31, a first gear 3210 connected to the output end of the rotating motor 3218, and two executing parts connected to the first gear 3210; the executing part is connected to the collecting assembly 33; the executing part includes two rotating disks 3212, a second gear 3211 provided on one of the rotating disks 3212 and meshing with the first gear 3210, a rotating rod 3213 for connecting the two rotating disks 3212, two connecting rods 3214 movably connected to the rotating rods 3213, a first movable plate 3215 movably connected to one of the connecting rods 3214, a second movable plate 3216 movably connected to the other connecting rod 3214, and an extension plate 3217 provided on the second movable plate 3216; wherein the first movable plate 3215 and the second movable plate 3216 are both L-shaped structures, and the second movable plate 3217 is L-shaped. The connection between the plate 3216 and the extension plate 3217 passes through the first movable plate 3215 and is movably connected to the first movable plate 3215; when the driving component 32 needs to start working, the rotating motor 3218 starts working, and the moving rotating motor 3218 can drive the first gear 3210 to rotate. At this time, the moving first gear 3210 can drive the two second gears 3211 to rotate, and then the moving second gear 3211 can drive the rotating disk 3212 connected thereto to move, and then the set rotating rod 3213 can drive the other rotating disk 3212 to rotate, and then the moving rotating rod 3213 can drive the connecting rod 3214 to move, and then the first movable plate 3215 and the second movable plate 3216 can be driven to move, and then the extension plate 3217 can be moved, thereby adjusting the collection area of ​​the collector 3345 located on the extension plate 3217, thereby completing the collection work.

[0027] In a further embodiment, the free ends of the two connecting rods 3214 and one end of the rotating rod 3213 away from the hinged connection between the connecting rod 3214 and the rotating rod 3213 are connected in sequence, thereby forming two planes, one of which includes the axis of one of the connecting rods 3214 and the rotating rod 3213, and the other plane includes the axis of the other connecting rod 3214 and the rotating rod 3213, wherein there is a predetermined inclination angle between the two planes, and rotating seats are provided at both ends of the rotating rod 3213, wherein there is a predetermined angle between the length directions of the rotating seats located at the free ends of different rotating rods 3213, so that the extension plate 3217 can rotate around the connection between the second movable plate 3216 and the extension plate 3217, and at the same time by Since the connection is located on the first movable plate 3215, the first movable plate 3215 can drive the extension plate 3217 to move when it moves. Since the two connecting rods 3214 are arranged on the same rotating rod 3213, the extension plate 3217 can not only change the position of the collection component 33 thereon, but also change the collection angle of the collection component 33, thereby obtaining a larger collection range, avoiding collision between the clamp 22 and other equipment in the shield machine when moving in a small space, causing damage to the device. At the same time, by changing the position of the collection component 33, the position of the equipment in the shield machine can be obtained, so that the position of the clamp 22 can be better planned and adjusted through the existing robot body 1.

[0028] The collection component 33 includes a shell 331, a fixed frame 332 built into the shell 331, a telescopic cylinder 333 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 332, a driving rod provided at the output end of the telescopic cylinder 333, a connecting sleeve 337 sleeved on the driving rod, a plurality of supporting parts 335 evenly arranged on the connecting sleeve 337, an adjusting part 336 connected to the driving rod, and a visual collection part 334 provided on the adjusting part 336; the shell 331 is connected to the driving component 32; the telescopic cylinder 333 is used to move the driving component 32; the visual collection part 334 ... The movement can drive the driving rod to move, so that the collector 3345 can be pushed out of the shell 331, ensuring that the collector 3345 can smoothly carry out the collection work; the support part 335 provided can complete the support work of the driving rod and can change the support position at the same time, ensuring the smooth progress of the support work, and the adjustment part 336 provided can adjust the distance between the collectors 3345 in adjacent visual collection parts 334, and the visual collection part 334 provided can adjust the collection angle of the collector 3345, thereby completing the collection work.

Then the fine-tuning motor 3358 starts to work, and drives the supporting arm 3359 to make the abutment block 33510 abut against the inner wall of the shell 331, thereby completing the support work for the driving rod. When the driving rod is extended a certain distance under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 333, the abutment block 33510 is located outside the shell 331. At this time, since the extension distance of the telescopic cylinder 333 is too large and the abutment block 33510 is located outside the shell 331, it is difficult to perform the supporting work. At this time, the working motor 3351 starts to work, and then can drive the movable seat 3357 to rotate, so that the movable seat 3357 is located inside the shell 331.

[0032] In a further embodiment, the device is further provided with a robot body 1, wherein the robot body 1 is prior art, and the specific structure can refer to the technical content recorded in the prior art in the background technology.

[0033] The method for constructing a digital twin model includes the following steps: S1: Collecting real-time data of the robot body 1 according to the collector 3345 and preprocessing the collected data information; S2: According to the basic information of the tool changing robot, namely the number and quality of each joint in the robot body 1, the relevant connection method, the size, length and diameter of the parts in the acquisition structure, the relative installation relationship between the various parts, the overall size and hardware configuration information; Then, based on the dimensional parameters of the parts, the technology defines the parametric model of each component in the 3D modeling software, and determines the assembly relationship of each part through coordinate constraints according to the position relationship of the components, ensuring the dimensional consistency of the model with the actual physical structure, thereby establishing an accurate geometric model of the tool changing robot. In addition, according to the physical characteristics and behavior laws of the tool changing robot, namely the joint motion parameters and the motion range limit of each joint, inertia parameters, force and torque characteristics, mechanical transmission efficiency and friction characteristics, as well as the motion trajectory of the tool changing process, motion control logic, tool changing action timing, prohibited areas in the workspace and emergency stop response when the tool is stuck, etc., a corresponding physical model is established. Finally, various parameters in the tool changing robot model are associated with the data collected by the sensor. S3: Integrate the above geometric model with the physical model, that is, by establishing a global coordinate system with the robot as the origin, and mapping the relevant parameters of the geometric model into the kinematic equations of the physical model; At the same time, the physical properties of the geometric model, such as mass and inertia, are transferred to the physical model; The force and deformation results calculated by the physical model are fed back to the geometric model to drive its shape adjustment; The kinematic constraints of the geometric model are used as boundary conditions for the physical model; the dynamic limits calculated by the physical model react to the motion planning of the geometric model; thus forming a complete digital twin model. Then, by fusing the collected data information with the above digital twin model, and using the model's prediction results to verify and supplement the sensor data, the mutual optimization of data and model is achieved. In a further embodiment, the position and collection direction of the laser radar sensor, laser ranging sensor, image sensor and tilt sensor or gyroscope are adjusted according to the above mechanism, so as to collect real-time data of the tool changing robot, where such data includes but is not limited to information on the status, behavior or environment of the tool changing robot itself, and then the collected data information is pre-processed by denoising, filtering, normalization and other operations; Based on the tool-changing robot's design drawings, 3D scanning data, or other relevant information, a precise geometric model of the tool-changing robot is established. The physical characteristics and behavior patterns of the tool-changing robot are then analyzed to establish a corresponding physical model. Specifically, a dynamic model or kinematic model can be established to describe the tool-changing robot's physical behavior under different conditions. Finally, various parameters in the tool-changing robot model are associated with the data collected by the sensor. Integrate the different types of models established above, such as geometric models and physical models, to form a complete digital twin model.

[0034] Working principle: When it is necessary to remove the bolts on the shield cutter head, the first data acquisition device 24 and the second data acquisition device 3 can cooperate to collect the position of the bolts, and then the collected data is fed back to move the multi-stage telescopic arm 23. The coordinated movement of the multi-stage telescopic arm 23 and the robot body 1 can drive the clamping claw 22 to move, control the position of the clamping claw 22, and complete the clamping and limiting work of the bolts; When the driving assembly 32 starts to work, the driving motor 321 in the driving assembly 32 starts to work, and the moving driving motor 321 can drive the first bevel gear 322 to rotate, so that the moving first bevel gear 322 can drive the second bevel gear 323 to rotate, and the moving second bevel gear 323 can drive the connecting rod 324 to move, and the moving connecting rod 324 can drive the fisheye bearing to move, so that the steel ball 328 can rotate in the fisheye bearing, thereby driving the driving member 327 to move. Since the first expansion arm 326 is movably connected to the support and the driving member 327 respectively, when the driving member 327 starts to work, the first expansion arm 326 can move around the support 325. At the same time, since the first expansion arm 326 and the second expansion arm 329 are movably connected, the second expansion arm 329 can be driven to move, so that the position of the second expansion arm 32 can be adjusted. 9, the collection position of the collection assembly 33 on the first can be adjusted by the above-mentioned structure. First, when the collection is not in progress, the first arm 326 can be moved close to the outer wall of the mounting seat 31 by the operation of the driving motor 321, thereby shortening the distance between the first arm 326 and the end effector seat 21, thereby avoiding damage to the arm or the collection assembly 33 when the device moves in a small space; at the same time, by dividing the integrated arm into two movably connected first arm 326 and second arm 329, when the collection device is damaged, only the second arm 329 needs to be disassembled to complete the replacement of the collection assembly 33, without the need to disassemble the end effector seat 21. At the same time, when the driving motor 321 is working, the connection between the first arm 326 and the second arm 329 is located outside the end effector seat 21, thereby improving the work efficiency of the maintenance personnel and avoiding occupying a large space, so that the detection work can also be carried out in a small space. When the driving assembly 32 needs to start working, the rotating motor 3218 starts working. The moving rotating motor 3218 can drive the first gear 3210 to rotate. At this time, the moving first gear 3210 can drive the two second gears 3211 to rotate. Then, the moving second gear 3211 can drive the rotating disk 3212 connected thereto to move. Then, the rotating rod 3213 provided can drive the other rotating disk 3212 to rotate. Then, the moving rotating rod 3213 can drive the connecting rod 3214 to move, thereby driving the first movable plate 3215 and the second movable plate 3216 to move, thereby enabling the extension plate 3217 to move, thereby adjusting the collection area of ​​the collector 3345 located on the extension plate 3217, thereby completing the collection work; through the movement of the telescopic cylinder 333, the driving rod can be driven to move, so that the collector 3345 can be pushed out of the shell 331, ensuring the smooth collection work of the collector 3345; When supporting work is needed, the supporting cylinder 3353 starts to work, and the moving supporting cylinder 3353 can drive the driving block 3356 to move, and then the moving driving block 3356 can drive the adjusting rod 3355 to move, and then the adjusting rod 3355 moves on the supporting rod 3354 to adjust the distance between the moving seat 3357 and the inner wall of the shell 331, and then the fine-tuning motor 3358 starts to work, and drives the supporting arm 3359 to make the abutment block 33510 abut against the inner wall of the shell 331, thereby completing the supporting work of the driving rod. After the driving rod is extended a certain distance by the telescopic cylinder 333, the abutment block 33510 is located outside the shell 331. At this time, since the telescopic cylinder 333 is extended too far and the abutment block 33510 is located outside the shell 331, it is difficult to support the rod. At this time, the working motor 3351 starts to work, thereby driving the movable seat 3357 to rotate, so that the movable seat 3357 is located inside the shell 331. Then the fine-tuning motor 3358 starts to work, so that the abutment block 33510 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 331, completing the support work for the driving rod. When the unfolding work is required, the unfolding motor 3362 starts working, and the moving unfolding motor 3362 can drive the screw rod 3363 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the driving plate 3364 on the screw rod 3363, and then drive the movable rod 3365 to move, thereby adjusting the angle between the movable shaft 3367 and the support plate 3366, so as to adjust the unfolding angle according to needs and adjust according to the actual space; when the position of the collector 3345 needs to be adjusted, the adjustment motor 3343 starts working, and the moving adjustment motor 3343 drives the transmission shaft 3342 to rotate, and then the collector 3345 can be driven to move through the set adjustment block 3344 and the rotating rod 3349, thereby adjusting the collection area of ​​the collector 3345.
