Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of joint actuator detection, and particularly relates to a joint actuator offline detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The robot joint actuator is a core power component of a robot system, integrates a servo motor, a high-precision reducer, a brake and a sensor, and undertakes the key task of converting electric energy into accurate mechanical movement. Performance parameters such as output torque, rotation angle accuracy, backlash, efficiency and brake holding capacity directly determine the motion accuracy, dynamic response, load capacity and overall reliability of the robot. In the high-end field of industrial robots, service robots and even humanoid robots, the performance consistency and long-term durability of the joint actuator are the key indicators for evaluating the quality and reliability.

[0003] With the rapid development of humanoid robots, collaborative robots and other industries, more stringent technical requirements such as lightweight, high power density, low backlash, high reverse drive efficiency are put forward for the joint actuator. The traditional industrial planetary reducer has been difficult to fully meet the special needs of these frontier applications in terms of weight and backlash control. This trend makes the End of Line (EOL) test of the joint actuator before leaving the factory very important. Through comprehensive and accurate EOL testing, unqualified products can be screened out to ensure the performance consistency of the products leaving the factory, and reliable data support can be provided for the iterative optimization of the products.

[0004] However, the current offline detection of joint actuators in the industry generally has the following problems:

[0005] (1) Low degree of automation: many detection stations still rely on manual clamping, interfacing and testing operations, which not only has low efficiency, but also is prone to errors caused by human factors, resulting in poor consistency of test results;

[0006] (2) Single detection project: some detection devices have single functions and can only test a specific performance (such as torque or speed), and cannot complete comprehensive performance tests including load performance, angle accuracy, brake holding, etc. in one station, resulting in a complicated detection process and large production line space occupation;

[0007] (3) Inaccurate load simulation: when a load needs to be applied for testing, the traditional loading method may not be able to accurately and stably simulate the real working conditions of the joint actuator, affecting the accuracy of the torque and angle detection data;

[0008] (4) Insufficient docking accuracy and safety: If there is a deviation in the mechanical docking between the testing equipment and the actuator output shaft, it will not only affect the test results, but may also damage the product; at the same time, the safety protection measures during the test are insufficient, which poses a certain risk.

[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an integrated, automated, high-precision, and safe method for detecting the off-line operation of joint actuators to address the aforementioned pain points and meet the demands of modern, high-efficiency, and high-quality production.

Start the detection program, turn on the external signal sensor switch, and establish a communication link between the host computer and the torque detection mechanism 35 (torque sensor) and the angle detection mechanism 36 (grating encoder) to ensure real-time reading of torque and angle data.

[0137] Step 3: Communication Establishment and Pre-Test Verification. The host computer establishes communication with joint actuator 1 via the CANOpen communication protocol, reading its internal parameters such as firmware version, reducer speed ratio, and motor pole pair count. The system performs a compatibility verification against preset test items, confirming the compatibility of joint actuator 1 with the test items, verifying the correctness of joint actuator 1 and the test items, and confirming the correctness of the firmware flashed in the front-end process, ensuring that the test conditions are consistent with the product specifications. If no problems are found during the verification, testing can proceed.

[0138] Step 4: Execute the preset performance test sequence. Perform one or more performance tests according to the preset test item sequence. Test items include friction resistance test, starting torque test, torque constant test, angle transmission error test, return error test, repeatability accuracy test, hysteresis curve and backlash test, efficiency test, and anti-drag torque test.

[0139] (1) Friction resistance test: The speed and torque output of the joint actuator 1 were collected at different speeds, the speed-torque curve was plotted and fitted by the least squares method.

[0140] The sliding platform 21 is driven to move along the first linear guide rail 22, causing the docking shaft 30 to disengage from the docking end 33. The output of the joint actuator 1 is controlled to be in an unloaded state (before docking). The host computer uses CAN commands to allow the joint actuator 1 to operate stably at different speeds (output shaft speeds of 1 rad / s, 2 rad / s, 3 rad / s, 4 rad / s, and 5 rad / s). The output speed and torque data transmitted by the joint actuator 1 via CAN are collected, and a speed-torque curve is plotted. Simultaneously, a curve with a slope of k is fitted using the least squares method. Specifically, in this embodiment, the friction resistance test includes the following: controlling the joint actuator 1 to operate stably at different output speeds in an unloaded state at the output end; collecting the output speed and torque data transmitted by the joint actuator 1 via the CAN bus; plotting the speed-torque curve; and using the least squares method to fit the formula characterizing the friction resistance.

[0141]

[0142] in: This is the no-load friction torque; Output rotational speed for joint actuator 1; and It is a constant.

[0143] (2) Start-up torque test: Start from 0 and slowly increase the torque until the output shaft starts to rotate. Record the torque value at that point.

[0144] Specifically, the drive sliding platform 21 moves along the first linear guide rail 22, causing the docking shaft 30 to disengage from the docking end 33. The starting torque includes forward starting torque and reverse starting torque tests. Both forward and reverse starting torque tests require selecting 5 potentials at the output end of the joint actuator 1, performing torque tests at these points, and then using the maximum starting torque value as the result of the starting torque test.

[0145] In this embodiment, the starting torque test includes forward and reverse starting torque tests. The specific steps are as follows: With the joint actuator 1 output under no-load conditions, it is controlled to slowly increase torque from zero; speed and torque data are collected in real time; when the speed fluctuation exceeds a predetermined threshold within one second, it is determined that the joint actuator 1 has started rotating, and the maximum torque value at this instant is recorded as the starting torque value at that test point; multiple points are selected in both the forward and reverse directions of the output shaft for testing, and the maximum starting torque value obtained is used as the test result. Specifically, with the joint actuator 1 output under no-load conditions (before docking), the host computer commands the joint actuator 1 to slowly increase torque from 0 via CAN until the output shaft is detected to start rotating. The host computer collects the speed and torque transmitted by the joint actuator 1 via CAN in real time. The collected speed data is compared continuously within one second. When the speed fluctuation exceeds the judgment threshold within one second, it is considered that the joint actuator 1 has overcome the starting torque and started rotating. The maximum collected torque value is used as the starting torque of the joint actuator 1 at that test point. The forward and reverse starting torque test processes are consistent, only the torque direction is reversed.

[0146] (3) Torque constant test: Apply torque under braking condition at the output end, and record the torque sensor value and the current of joint actuator 1. The torque constant is obtained by the least squares method. .

[0147] Torque constant definition: The output torque of joint actuator 1 is related to the current in the FOC control of the three-phase brushless motor. The ratio of the two values, and the torque constant, when the number of pole pairs is fixed, depends on the permanent magnet flux linkage. Since it is not a fixed value, it varies between different models. Actual measurement is required.

[0148] In this embodiment, the torque constant test includes the following: The sliding platform 21 is driven to move along the first linear guide rail 22, connecting the docking shaft 30 to the docking end 33. With the output shaft of the joint actuator 1 rigidly connected to the rotating shaft 31 and the transmission brake mechanism 34 closed for braking, the joint actuator 1 is controlled to switch to torque mode. The torque is slowly increased from zero to the rated torque, while simultaneously recording the torque value measured by the torque sensor and the current value of the joint actuator 1. The torque constant was calculated by fitting using the least squares method. value:

[0149]

[0150] in: The output torque of joint actuator 1.

[0151] Specifically, such as Figure 10As shown, after joint actuator 1 is docked, its output shaft is rigidly connected to the test bench. The host computer outputs a brake closure via Modbus commands, and the joint brake output is in a braking state. At this time, joint actuator 1 meets the prerequisite for testing the torque constant. The host computer switches the joint mode to torque mode via CAN transmission mode. Then, starting from 0, the torque is slowly increased to the rated torque, and the torque value of the torque sensor and the current of joint actuator 1 are recorded. Obtained by least squares method value.

[0152] (4) Angle transmission error test: Apply load and take test points at set angle values ​​in both forward and reverse directions, and calculate the angle difference. Specifically, the angle transmission error is defined as the accuracy of the encoder of the test joint actuator 1.

[0153] In this embodiment, the angle transmission error test includes the following: driving the sliding platform 21 to move along the first linear guide rail 22, so that the docking shaft 30 and the docking end 33 are docked and connected; controlling the servo motor 32 through the PLC controller to apply a preset percentage rated load to the joint actuator 1, and controlling the joint actuator 1 to be in speed mode and the speed set to zero; reading the position value of the grating encoder at the initial time. Send a command to control joint actuator 1 to rotate a certain angle, and after reaching the target position, read the position value from the grating encoder. Calculate the difference: Tests were conducted at multiple predetermined angle points in both the forward and reverse directions, and the average value of the difference in each direction was calculated. And judge whether the encoder accuracy is qualified based on the average value.

[0154] Specifically, in this embodiment, the host computer sends a torque command to the servo motor 32, loads it with 5% load, sets the mode to speed mode, and sets the speed to 0 RPM; the host computer reads the values ​​of the torque sensor and the angle sensor in real time; before issuing the command, the host computer reads the position value of the angle sensor. Then, it sends rotation angle and speed signals to joint actuator 1. After joint actuator 1 moves to the position, it sends an angle signal back to the host computer, which then reads the position value of the angle sensor at that time. Record and calculate the difference. Take a test point every 60° in both the forward and reverse directions, with 5 test points in each direction. Calculate the difference for each test point, and then calculate the average for both forward and reverse directions. Provide the evaluation result, indicating whether the difference is acceptable.

[0155] (5) Backlash error test: The position difference is measured in both forward and reverse directions, and the average value is calculated. The purpose of the test is to determine whether the backlash error of the assembly under test is within the design range.

[0156] The return error test includes the following: driving the sliding platform 21 to move along the first linear guide rail 22 to connect the docking shaft 30 and the docking end 33; controlling the joint actuator 1 to return to the zero point and reading the current position; controlling the servo motor 32 to apply a preset percentage rated load to the joint actuator 1 through the PLC controller; controlling the joint actuator 1 to rotate clockwise by a first angle and recording the position value of the grating encoder after it is in place. Control it to reverse the second angle, then rotate it forward again to the second angle, and record the position value of the grating encoder after it reaches the correct position. Repeat the above movement and recording steps multiple times, and calculate the average value of the multiple times:

[0157]

[0158] in: This represents the number of times the test was repeated.

[0159] The average value is used as the return error for qualification judgment.

[0160] Specifically, in this embodiment, the host computer sends a zero-point setting command to place the joint actuator 1 at the zero point and reads the current position value; the host computer sends a 5% rated load torque command to the servo motor 32, and the servo motor 32 operates according to the set mode; the host computer sends a control command to the joint actuator 1 to rotate 180° clockwise, and records the position value of the angle sensor after reaching the position. The host computer sends a 360° reverse rotation command, and after reaching the target position, sends a 360° forward rotation command, recording the position value of the angle sensor. After repeating the test five times, calculate... The value is taken as the average value, and the hysteresis error is output to the host computer for judgment; it is judged whether the average value exceeds the set range.

[0161] (6) Repeatability test: The position accuracy is repeatedly tested under different rotational speeds, and the standard deviation is calculated. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the repeatability of joint actuator 1.

[0162] The repeatability test includes the following steps: The sliding platform 21 is driven to move along the first linear guide rail 22, connecting the docking shaft 30 to the docking end 33; the joint actuator 1 is controlled to return to zero; the servo motor 32 is controlled by the PLC controller to apply a rated load to the joint actuator 1; under 100%, 50%, and 10% rated speed conditions, the joint actuator 1 is controlled to move cyclically to multiple predetermined position points in a predetermined sequence: P1→P2→P3→P4→P5, and the actual position value of the grating encoder is recorded at each position point; this cycle is repeated multiple times; the repeatability of each position point is calculated. :
