Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotic arm testing technology, and more specifically, to a functional testing device and method for a robotic arm used in construction engineering. Background Technology
[0002] As industrial gripping and handling equipment, robotic arms can mechanically mimic the structure of a human arm to perform operations. The positioning accuracy of a robotic arm affects whether it accurately contacts the designated object or reaches the designated position during the gripping process. When positional accuracy is compromised, the robotic arm essentially loses its ability to perform precise operations. For robotic arms that frequently handle heavy objects, prolonged high-load operation leads to wear and tear on their internal transmission components, affecting their positioning accuracy.
[0003] A search revealed a fatigue testing device for a robotic arm, disclosed in publication number (CN118906092B). The device describes a structure comprising a body and a material block. A robotic arm is mounted on the top of the body. A right platform and a left platform are fixedly connected to both ends of the body on either side of the robotic arm. A left test chamber is located on one side of the bottom of the left platform. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left test chamber. A lifting rod is slidably connected inside the sleeve. The top of the lifting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left platform. When testing the robotic arm, the robotic arm grasps the material block and moves it back and forth between the right and left platforms, simulating the actual load on the robotic arm in real-world application scenarios. This makes the testing results more accurate. Furthermore, a single distance sensor can acquire the displacement deviation of different parts of the robotic arm, reducing the need for numerous sensors while ensuring testing effectiveness, lowering costs, and improving the stability of test results.
[0004] In practical use, the aforementioned patent mainly uses a distance sensor to detect the displacement of the passive bar to detect the overall deviation of the robotic arm. However, the material counterweight of the device is fixed each time. When it is necessary to detect the device deviation under different load conditions, it is necessary to test twice under the same counterweight to obtain the test result, which is quite cumbersome. At the same time, the device cannot detect whether there is a problem during the operation of the robotic arm. During the test, it can only detect whether the robotic arm has shifted as a whole, and cannot accurately find the offset part, which has great limitations.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention discloses a functional testing device and method for a construction engineering robotic arm. Summary of the Invention

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a connecting block is fixed to one end of the moving rod near the vertical arm, and the connecting block is plugged into the vertical arm. A lifting handle is fixed to the other end of the moving rod. A connecting plate is rotatably connected to the outer side of the moving rod near the connecting block. A limit spring is fixed to the side of the connecting plate away from the connecting block. The other ends of the two limit springs are fixedly connected to the fixing frame and the fixing plate, respectively. A sliding block is fixed to the inner side of the fixing ring. A limit groove is opened at the position of the moving rod corresponding to the sliding block. The sliding block is slidably connected to the moving rod through the limit groove.

Then, different counterweights are adjusted to record the contact points between the contact rod and the point detection plate multiple times. The multiple contact point records between the contact rod and the point detection plate are compared by the point camera to facilitate the detection of positioning accuracy.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] In practical use, the aforementioned patent mainly uses a distance sensor to detect the displacement of the passive bar to detect the overall deviation of the robotic arm. However, the material counterweight of the device is fixed each time. When it is necessary to detect the device deviation under different load conditions, it is necessary to test twice under the same counterweight to obtain the test result, which is quite cumbersome. At the same time, the device cannot detect whether there is a problem during the operation of the robotic arm. During the test, it can only detect whether the robotic arm has shifted as a whole, and cannot accurately find the offset part, which has great limitations.
[0021] Therefore, this invention provides a functional testing device and method for a construction engineering robotic arm, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 - Figure 9 As shown, it includes a testing platform 1, a connecting base 2 fixed to the top center of the testing platform 1, a fixed base 3 fixed to the top of the connecting base 2, a vertical arm 4 rotatably connected to the top of the fixed base 3, and a horizontal arm 5 rotatably connected to the top of the vertical arm 4. An angle detection component is provided on one side of the top of the connecting base 2 for detecting the angular offset of the vertical arm 4 and the horizontal arm 5. A load-bearing component is provided at the end of the horizontal arm 5 away from the vertical arm 4 for counterweighting the horizontal arm 5. Multiple positioning test chambers 6 are opened on one side of the top of the testing platform 1. A point detection plate 7 is provided at the lower inner end of the positioning test chamber 6, and the point detection plate 7 is fixedly connected to the testing platform 1. To facilitate the detection of the positioning accuracy of the vertical arm 4 and the horizontal arm 5, point cameras 8 are provided on both sides of the top of the positioning test chamber 6, and the point cameras 8 are fixedly connected to the testing platform 1. A connecting shaft 41 is fixed at the position corresponding to the vertical arm 4. The connecting shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the vertical arm 4. A monitoring component is provided on the inner side of the vertical arm 4 at the position corresponding to the connecting shaft 41. The monitoring component includes a movable gear 42, which is located on the inner side of the vertical arm 4 at the position corresponding to the connecting shaft 41. The movable gear 42 is slidably connected to the vertical arm 4. A drive gear 44 is fixed on the outer side of the connecting shaft 41. A transmission rack 43 is fixed on the inner side of the movable gear 42 at the position corresponding to the drive gear 44. The transmission rack 43 is meshed with the drive gear 44. A second spring telescopic rod 45 is fixed at the end of the movable gear 42 away from the horizontal arm 5. A pressure sensor 46 is fixed on the inner side of the vertical arm 4 at the position corresponding to the second spring telescopic rod 45. The second spring telescopic rod 45 cooperates with the pressure sensor 46.
[0022] During operation, when the robotic arm performs repetitive fixed operations, the lifting angle of the vertical arm 4 and the horizontal arm 5 after each material grabbing is fixed. When the horizontal arm 5 rotates, it drives the drive gear 44 to rotate via the connecting shaft 41. When the drive gear 44 rotates, it drives the moving gear frame 42, which is fixed to the drive gear rack 43, to move via the transmission rack 43. When the moving gear frame 42 moves, it drives the second spring telescopic rod 45 to move simultaneously. After the second spring telescopic rod 45 contacts the pressure sensor 46, it applies pressure to the pressure sensor 46. When the lifting angle of the horizontal arm 5 is at its maximum, the pressure value received by the pressure sensor 46 can be recorded. When the lifting angle of the horizontal arm 5 changes, the travel of the moving gear frame 42 will decrease or increase, thereby causing the pressure value applied by the second spring telescopic rod 45 to the pressure sensor 46 to change. At this time, the change in the lifting angle of the horizontal arm 5 and the vertical arm 4 can be detected. Then, the device can be installed on the fixed base 3 on the top of the detection table 1 for the next step of precise detection.
[0023] For details, see Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the angle detection assembly includes a fixed base plate 9, which is fixed to the top of the fixed base 3. A connecting frame 10 is fixed to the top of the fixed base plate 9, and a fixed frame 11 is fixed to the top of the connecting frame 10. A fixing ring 19 is provided on the inner side of the fixed frame 11, and a connecting rod 12 is fixed to the outer side of the fixing ring 19. A fixed plate 13 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 12 away from the fixing ring 19. To facilitate the detection of the rotation angle of the horizontal arm 5 relative to the vertical arm 4, a horizontal angle test plate 15 is fixed to the outer side of the top of the fixed plate 13. To facilitate the detection of the rotation angle of the vertical arm 4 relative to the fixed base 3, a vertical angle test plate 18 is fixed to one side of the fixed frame 11. The inner sides of both 11 and the fixed plate 13 are rotatably connected to the moving rod 16. The fixed ring 19 is slidably connected to the moving rod 16 located inside the fixed frame 11. The outer side of the moving rod 16 located inside the fixed frame 11 and close to the fixed frame 11 is fixed with the detection ring needle 23. The outer side of the horizontal angle test plate 15 is slidably connected to the indicator slider 28. In order to facilitate the rotation of the indicator slider 28 when the horizontal arm 5 rotates, the top of the indicator slider 28 is fixed with the fixed rod 25. The side of the fixed rod 25 close to the horizontal arm 5 is fixed with the first spring telescopic rod 26. The telescopic end of the first spring telescopic rod 26 is fixed with the contact plate 27, and the contact plate 27 is in contact with the horizontal arm 5. A connecting block 17 is fixed to one end of the moving rod 16 near the vertical arm 4. The connecting block 17 is plugged into the vertical arm 4. To facilitate the movement of the moving rod 16, a lifting handle 22 is fixed to the other end of the moving rod 16. A connecting plate 21 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the moving rod 16 near the connecting block 17. To facilitate limiting the movement of the moving rod 16 without affecting its rotation, a limit spring 20 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 21 away from the connecting block 17. The other ends of the two limit springs 20 are fixedly connected to the fixing frame 11 and the fixing plate 13, respectively. To facilitate the rotation of the moving rod 16 while driving the fixed ring 19 to rotate without affecting the horizontal movement of the moving rod 16, a sliding block 24 is fixed to the inner side of the fixed ring 19. A limit groove is opened at the position corresponding to the moving rod 16 and the sliding block 24. The sliding block 24 is slidably connected to the moving rod 16 through the limit groove.
[0024] During operation, the fixed base 3 is first connected to the connecting base 2. Then, by pulling the detection ring needle 23, the detection ring needle 23 drives the moving rod 16 and the connecting block 17 to move. When the rotation axis of the vertical arm 4 rotates to the position corresponding to the connecting block 17, the detection ring needle 23 is released. At this time, under the elastic action of the limit spring 20, the connecting plate 21 is moved closer to the vertical arm 4. When the connecting plate 21 moves, it drives the moving rod 16 and the connecting block 17 to move simultaneously. When the connecting block 17 moves to the inside of the vertical arm 4, the connection with the vertical arm 4 is completed. The angle of the horizontal arm 5 is adjusted, and then the contact plate 27 is connected to the horizontal arm 5 under the elastic action of the moving rod 16. After that, the detection can begin. During the detection process, when the horizontal arm 5 rotates relative to the vertical arm 4, the contact plate 27 drives the indicator slider 2 through the first spring telescopic rod 26 and the fixed rod 25. Simultaneously, the horizontal arm 5 rotates, causing the indicator slider 28 to slide along the outer edge of the horizontal angle test plate 15. By comparing the readings corresponding to the indicator slider 28 and the vertical angle test plate 18 with the initial data, the deviation of the rotation angle of the horizontal arm 5 can be detected. At the same time, when the vertical arm 4 rotates relative to the fixed base 3, the moving rod 16 will rotate through the connecting block 17. When the moving rod 16 rotates, the fixed ring 19 will rotate simultaneously through the sliding block 24. When the fixed ring 19 rotates, the fixed plate 13 will rotate through the connecting rod 12, so that the fixed plate 13 is always parallel to the end of the vertical arm 4 that is close to the horizontal arm 5. When the moving rod 16 located inside the fixed frame 11 rotates, it will drive the detection ring needle 23 to rotate simultaneously. By comparing the readings corresponding to the detection ring needle 23 and the vertical angle test plate 18 with the initial data, the angle deviation of the vertical arm 4 can be obtained.
[0025] Further, see Figure 6 - Figure 8As shown, the load-bearing component includes a connecting seat 29, which is fixed to the end of the horizontal arm 5 away from the vertical arm 4. A load box 14 is provided at the lower end of the connecting seat 29. To facilitate the connection between the load box 14 and the connecting seat 29, a plug-in post 35 is fixed to the top of the load box 14. To facilitate the limiting of the plug-in post 35, a limit component is provided at the corresponding position of the connecting seat 29 and the plug-in post 35. A counterweight block 31 is provided inside the load box 14. A contact rod 30 is fixed to the side of the load box 14 near the detection table 1. The contact rod 30 connects to the point detection plate 7 and... The point camera 8 is used in conjunction with the load box 14; a connecting plate 33 is set at the upper part of one end of the load box 14. In order to facilitate the limiting of the counterweight 31, the lower ends of both ends of the connecting plate 33 are fixed with anti-detachment rods 32. The lower ends of the anti-detachment rods 32 extend to the inner side of the load box 14, and the anti-detachment rods 32 are slidably connected to the load box 14; in order to facilitate the limiting of the anti-detachment rods 32, a contraction spring 34 is sleeved on the outer side of the end of the anti-detachment rods 32 near the connecting plate 33. One end of the contraction spring 34 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 33, and the lower end of the contraction spring 34 is fixedly connected to the load box 14. The limiting assembly includes a movable plate 39, which is disposed inside the connecting seat 29 and is slidably connected to the connecting seat 29. To facilitate limiting the insertion post 35, limiting bolts 40 are fixed at both ends of the movable plate 39 near the insertion post 35. The limiting bolts 40 are inserted into the insertion post 35. To facilitate moving the movable plate 39, an internal threaded sleeve 36 is fixed in the middle of the other side of the movable plate 39. An adjusting screw 37 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the end of the internal threaded sleeve 36 away from the movable plate 39. The end of the adjusting screw 37 away from the internal threaded sleeve 36 extends to the outer side of the connecting seat 29. To facilitate rotating the adjusting screw 37, a connecting knob 38 is fixed to the outer side of the adjusting screw 37 on the connecting seat 29.
[0026] During operation, when it is necessary to add or remove counterweight, first pull the connecting plate 33 upwards, causing the connecting plate 33 to move the anti-detachment rod 32. When the lower end of the anti-detachment rod 32 is a certain distance from the lower inner end of the load box 14, the counterweight block 31 can be placed inside the load box 14 or removed from the load box 14. Then release the connecting plate 33. At this time, under the elastic action of the compression spring 34, the connecting plate 33 is pulled closer to the load box 14, thereby causing the connecting plate 33 to move the anti-detachment rod 32. When the lower end of the anti-detachment rod 32 moves to the lower inner end of the load box 14, the counterweight block 31 can be placed inside the load box 14 or removed from the load box 14. After the counterweight 31 is positioned, when the test is finished and the load box 14 needs to be disassembled from the connecting seat 29, the connecting knob 38 is rotated, causing the adjusting screw 37 to rotate. When the adjusting screw 37 rotates, the moving plate 39 moves away from the plug-in post 35 through the internal threaded sleeve 36 connected to it. When the moving plate 39 moves, the limiting bolt 40 moves at the same time. When the limiting bolt 40 moves to the point of disengagement from the plug-in post 35, the limiting bolt 40 releases its restriction on the plug-in post 35. Then, the plug-in post 35 can be removed from the inside of the connecting seat 29 to complete the disassembly.
[0027] Among them, see Figure 1 - Figure 9 As shown, a testing method for a functional testing device for a construction engineering robotic arm is disclosed. This functional testing method for a construction engineering robotic arm is mainly applicable to the aforementioned functional testing device for a construction engineering robotic arm. The method mainly includes the following steps: S1: Operation monitoring. The monitoring component monitors whether the angle between the horizontal arm 5 and the vertical arm 4 changes by measuring the pressure value change of the pressure sensor 46. S2: Inspection and assembly, fix and connect the angle detection component to the connecting base 2, vertical arm 4 and horizontal arm 5 respectively, and at the same time connect and fix the load component to the connecting seat 29 through the plug-in post 35 and the limiting component; S3: Positioning accuracy detection. The load box 14 is controlled to drive the contact rod 30 to make point contact with the point detection plate 7. Then, different counterweights are adjusted to record the point contact between the contact rod 30 and the point detection plate 7 multiple times. The point camera 8 compares the multiple contact point records between the contact rod 30 and the point detection plate 7 to facilitate the detection of positioning accuracy. S4: Counterweight adjustment, pulling the connecting plate 33 drives the anti-disengagement rod 32 to move and cancel the limit on the counterweight block 31. Different weight adjustments can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the number of counterweight blocks 31. S5: Angle detection. The readings indicated by the indicator slider 28 and the detection ring needle 23 are recorded. The actual angle readings of the horizontal arm 5 and the vertical arm 4 under different counterweight conditions are compared with the fixed angle output command to complete the detection.
[0028] In summary, this effectively solves the problem that the aforementioned patents mainly rely on distance sensors to detect the displacement of the passive bar to detect the overall offset of the robotic arm in actual use. However, the material counterweight of this device is fixed each time. When it is necessary to detect the offset of the device under different load conditions, it is necessary to test twice under the same counterweight to obtain the test result, which is cumbersome. At the same time, the device cannot detect whether there is a problem during the operation of the robotic arm. During the test, it can only detect whether the robotic arm is offset as a whole, but cannot accurately find the offset part, which has great limitations.
