AI Technical Summary
Traditional orthogonal universal joints have problems with limited payload and blocked field of view in some applications. Especially in applications that require high position accuracy, range control and high load-to-weight-to-volume ratio, non-orthogonal universal joints are more suitable. Applicable, but rare in most applications.
A motion system is designed by setting up two opposite motion modules to have opposite, asymmetric motion ranges, thereby distributing the load to two directions, reducing stress, and through the structure of non-orthogonal universal joints Enables shorter arm lengths, increasing payload weight and volumetric capabilities.
This motion system improves the payload weight and volume capacity in a limited volume or operating space, has higher positioning accuracy and lower motor load caused by external loads and vibrations, and is suitable for use scenarios with non-orthogonal universal joints.

Abstract
Description
A movement system Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of motion systems, and in particular to a rotary motion system. Background Art
[0002] A gimbal is a pivoting support that allows an object to rotate about an axis. A set of three gimbals, mounted one above the other, have orthogonal pivot axes, allowing the object mounted on the innermost gimbal to remain independent of the gimbal's support's rotation. In Figure 19, a conventional gimbal has platform rotation axes X, Y, and Z. Platform rotation in X, Y, and Z is achieved by three perpendicular gimbal rotations, A, B, and C. This is a conventional orthogonal gimbal.
[0003] However, due to the long gimbal arm, the payload of an orthogonal gimbal is limited. Furthermore, in certain platform orientations, as shown in Figure 20, the gimbal obscures the view of the payload on the platform, which is relevant for applications such as radars, cameras, and video cameras.
[0004] The present invention aims to alleviate these drawbacks by providing a gimbal with non-orthogonal gimbal axes, with an angle α between 0° and 90°, as shown in Figure 21. Angle α is defined as the angle between the gimbal's axes of rotation A and B and the perpendicular axis C. An angle α of 90° represents a conventional orthogonal gimbal. Platform rotation about axes X and Y is achieved by the compound rotations of the non-orthogonal gimbal arms, A and B. A and B can be rotated to any angle, but the platform's rotation about X and Y will never exceed twice the angle α.
[0005] In many applications where high position accuracy, range control, and high payload weight and volume are more important than working range, non-orthogonal gimbals are preferred over traditional orthogonal gimbals. Shorter gimbal arms enable higher payload weight and volume capabilities.
[0006] As described in patent PCT / CN2022 / 082279 (WO2023040229A1), the non-orthogonal universal joint is developed from a rotary joint with two rotating components that can slide by tilting at an angle of α. The payload rotates around the origin O, which depends on the controlled rotation of the rotating components, as shown in Figure 22a. The virtual rotation origin O is defined by the intersection of the rotation axes of the two rotating components. It can be changed by configuring the rotation axes of the rotating components, as shown in Figure 22b. Figure 22c and Figure 22b are actually the same, but the rotating components are replaced by arms and joints. Figure 22c shows a non-orthogonal universal joint with an angle of α.
[0007] Patent US11346495B2 describes a control system for a non-orthogonal gimbal, which is used as a stabilization system for cameras and video equipment. However, in other applications, non-orthogonal gimbals are very rare.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

The first motion module 300a, the second motion module 400a, and the rotation assembly 500a are all disposed between the first connection plate 100a and the second connection plate 200a. The first motion module 300a and the second motion module 400a are connected to one side of the first connection plate 100a via the rotation assembly 500a. The other side of the first connection plate 100a is used to connect to a supported object, and the side of the second connection plate 200a away from the first connection plate 100a is used to connect to a supporting device. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not impose specific restrictions on the support connection and the supporting device. As an illustrative, non-restrictive explanation, the supported object can be a chair seat, and correspondingly, the supporting device can be a chair leg.
[0128] As a preferred embodiment, in the present application, the first motion module 300a and the second motion module 400a are arranged opposite each other. The first motion module 300a and the second motion module 400a have opposite motion directions (primarily rotational directions) and opposite, asymmetric ranges of motion. This allows the motion system to distribute the load from the supported object in two directions, thereby reducing stress on the first motion module 300a and the second motion module 400a.
[0129] 1 , the first motion module 300a includes a first component 310a, a second component 320a, a first connecting mechanism 330a, and a second connecting mechanism 340a.

The first motion module 300b and the second motion module 400b are connected to one side of the first connection plate 100b via the rotation assembly 500b. The other side of the first connection plate 100b is used to connect to a supported object, and the side of the second connection plate 200b away from the first connection plate 100b is used to connect to a supporting device. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions on the support connection and the supporting device. As an illustrative and non-restrictive explanation, the supported object can be a chair seat, and correspondingly, the supporting device can be a chair leg.
[0150] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the first motion module 300b and the second motion module 400b are arranged opposite each other. The motion directions (primarily the rotational directions) of the first motion module 300b and the second motion module 400b are opposite, and the first motion module 300b and the second motion module 400b have opposite, asymmetric ranges of motion. Therefore, the motion system can distribute the load from the supported object in two directions, thereby reducing the stress on the first motion module 300b and the first motion module 400b.

The gear 511b is connected to the first annular member 523b via the connector 512b and the second annular member 524b, thereby connecting the gear 511b to both the outer race of the first bearing 521b and the inner race of the second bearing 522b. The first connecting plate 100b is connected to the first annular member 523b via the third annular member 525b, thereby connecting the first connecting plate 100b to both the outer race of the first bearing 521b and the inner race of the second bearing 522b.

The end of the third member 410b distal to the fourth member 420b is sleeved onto the exterior of the fifth bearing assembly, while the end of the second connecting plate 200b proximal to the third member 410b is embedded within the fifth bearing assembly, thereby enabling relative rotation between the third member 410b and the second connecting plate 200b via the fifth bearing assembly.

[0182] As shown in FIG11 , the motion system provided in the embodiments of the present application generally includes a first connection plate 100e, a second connection plate 200e, a first motion module 300e, a second motion module 400e, and a rotation assembly 500e. The first motion module 300e, the second motion module 400e, and the rotation assembly 500e are all disposed between the first connection plate 100e and the second connection plate 200e. The first motion module 300e and the second motion module 400e are connected to one side of the first connection plate 100e via the rotation assembly 500e. The other side of the first connection plate 100e is configured to connect to a supported object, and the side of the second connection plate 200e, away from the first connection plate 100e, is configured to connect to a supporting device. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not impose specific limitations on the support connection and the supporting device. As an illustrative, non-restrictive, explanation, the supported object may be a chair seat, and the supporting device may be a chair leg.
[0183] As a preferred embodiment, in the embodiment of the present application, the first motion module 300e and the second motion module 400e are arranged opposite each other. The motion directions (primarily the rotational directions) of the first motion module 300e and the second motion module 400e are opposite, and the first motion module 300e and the second motion module 400e have opposite, asymmetric motion ranges. Therefore, the motion system can distribute the load from the supported object in two directions, thereby reducing the stress on the first motion module 300e and the first motion module 400e.
[0184] Further referring to Figures 11 and 12, the first motion module 300e includes a first component 310e, a second component 320e, a first connecting mechanism 330e and a second connecting mechanism 340e. The opposite ends of the first component 310e are rotatably connected to the second connecting disk 200e through the second connecting mechanism 340e and are rotatably connected to one end of the second component 320e through the first connecting mechanism 330e. The end of the second component 320e away from the first component 310e is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly 500e. Correspondingly, the second motion module 400e includes a third component 410e, a fourth component 420e, a third connecting mechanism 430e and a fourth connecting mechanism 440e. The opposite ends of the third component 410e are rotatably connected to the second connecting disk 200e through the fourth connecting mechanism 440e and are rotatably connected to one end of the fourth component 420e through the third connecting mechanism 430e. The end of the fourth component 420e away from the third component 410e is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly 500e.
[0185] The difference from the third embodiment is that, as further shown in Figures 11 and 12, in this embodiment, the rotating assembly 500e includes a gear assembly and two first bearing assemblies 520e. The end of the second member 320e facing away from the first member 310e is sleeved onto the exterior of one of the first bearing assemblies 520e, and the end of the fourth member 420e facing away from the third member 410e is sleeved onto the exterior of the other first bearing assembly 520e. The end of the second member 320e facing away from the first member 310e and the end of the fourth member 420e facing away from the third member 410e are abutted via the gear assembly.
[0186] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment of the present application, the gear assembly includes a first outer ring gear 511e and a second outer ring gear 512e. The first outer ring gear 511e and the second outer ring gear 512e mesh with each other. The first outer ring gear 511e is disposed on the end of the second member 320e distal from the first member 310e, while the second outer ring gear 512e is disposed on the end of the fourth member 420e distal from the third member 410e. The arrangement of the first outer ring gear 511e and the second outer ring gear 512e further limits the range of motion of the first and second motion modules.
[0187] Referring further to Figure 12 , each first bearing assembly 520e includes a connecting post 521e, a first bearing 522e, a second bearing 523e, a first spacer 524e, and a second spacer 525e. The first and second bearings 522e, 523e are sleeved onto the connecting post 521e, with the first and second spacers 524e, 525e cooperating to restrain the first and second bearings 522e, 523e on the connecting post 521e. It will be appreciated that both the first and second bearings 522e, 523e include an inner ring and an outer ring, which are rotatable relative to each other. The first bearing 522e and the second bearing 523e are respectively mounted on the connecting column 521e through their inner rings, and the inner rings are fixedly connected to the connecting column 521e, so that the outer rings of the first bearing 522e and the second bearing 523e can rotate relative to the connecting column 521e. Furthermore, the second component and the fourth component mounted outside the first bearing assembly can rotate relative to the connecting column 521e.
[0188] Referring further to FIG. 12 , in this embodiment of the present application, the motion system further includes a mounting member 600e. The mounting member 600e includes two support columns 610e and two limit plates 620e. The two first bearing assemblies 520e and the two support columns 610e are fixed between the two limit plates 620e, with the two first bearing assemblies 520e located at two opposing corners of the limit plates 620e, and the two support columns 610e located at two other opposing corners of the limit plates 620e. The two limit plates are connected to the first connecting plate 100e and the second connecting plate 200e on the side away from the first bearing assemblies 520e, respectively.
[0189] As a preferred implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting mechanism 330e, the second connecting mechanism 340e, the third connecting mechanism 430e and the fourth connecting mechanism 440e are all composed of a bearing. The connection method between each connecting mechanism and each component can be referred to the relevant content described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0190] Example 6
[0191] 13 to 18 , the sixth embodiment of the present application is described. The sixth embodiment is a variation of the first or second embodiment, and components with the same or similar structures or functions as those in the first or second embodiment are marked with the same or similar reference numerals, and detailed descriptions of these components are omitted.
[0192] The main difference between the sixth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the rotation of the first connecting disk 100f around its own axis in the ω direction is limited.
[0193] The main difference between the sixth embodiment and the second embodiment is that the restriction of the rotation of the first connecting plate 100f in the ω direction is achieved by relying on the connecting rod assembly, rather than relying on the gear assembly 510b as in the second embodiment.
[0194] It is worth noting that the so-called limited rotation of the first connecting disk 100f in the ω direction does not necessarily mean that the first connecting disk 100f cannot rotate in the ω direction. In a passive system (i.e., a system without a drive source), the first connecting disk 100f can usually be set to be unable to rotate in the ω direction. In an active system (or a system with a drive source), the limited rotation of the first connecting disk 100f in the ω direction can be manifested as the first connecting disk 100f rotating in the ω direction in a controlled manner, for example, the rotation of either the first motion module 300f or the second motion module 400f can be controlled to control the rotation of the first connecting disk 100f in the ω direction.
[0195] Figures 13 to 17 illustrate an active system. Taking the system shown in Example 1 as a basic system, this system further includes a deflection motor M, a drive gear G, a drive disk 800, a rotation transmission disk 700, a first connecting rod assembly 601, and a second connecting rod assembly 602.
[0196] The rotating transfer disk 700 is coaxially disposed with the first connecting member 330f and is capable of relative rotation with the first connecting member 330f and the second member 320f. For example, the rotating transfer disk 700 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the first connecting member 330f, and a bearing is provided between the rotating transfer disk 700 and the first connecting member 330f, so that rotation of the rotating transfer disk 700 does not cause rotation of the first connecting member 330f and the second member 320f.
[0197] The drive disk 800 is coaxially disposed with the second connecting member 340f, and the drive disk 800, the first member 310f, and the second connecting member 340f are capable of relative rotation. For example, the drive disk 800 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the second connecting member 340f, and a bearing is disposed between the drive disk 800 and the second connecting member 340f, so that rotation of the drive disk 800 does not cause rotation of the second connecting member 340f and the first member 310f.
[0198] One end of each of the first connecting rod assembly 601 and the second connecting rod assembly 602 is connected to the rotation transfer disk 700 , and the first connecting rod 601 , the second connecting rod 602 and the rotation transfer disk 700 form a synchronous rotation device.
[0199] The other end of the first connecting rod assembly 601 is connected to the drive disk 800, and the other end of the second connecting rod assembly 602 is connected to the rotating assembly 500f. Both ends of the first and second connecting rod assemblies 601 and 602 are ball joints. The lengths of the first and second connecting rod assemblies 601 and 602 are fixed. Through the chain connecting the drive disk 800, the first connecting rod assembly 601, the rotation transfer disk 700, the second connecting rod assembly 602, the rotating assembly 500f, and the first connecting disk 100f, the rotation of the drive disk 800 about its axis and the rotation of the first connecting disk 100f about its axis can be synchronized.
[0200] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the drive disk 800 is provided with teeth that mesh with the drive gear G. The drive gear G is connected to the deflection motor M in a torque-proof manner (non-rotatable relative to the deflection motor M). The rotation of the deflection motor M is transmitted to the first connecting disk 100f, causing the first connecting disk 100f to rotate in a controlled manner.
[0201] It is worth noting that since the system is an active system, a first drive motor M1 for driving the first component 310f to rotate and a second drive motor M2 for driving the second component 320f to rotate can be provided to actively control the other two rotational degrees of freedom of 100f, namely tilt and roll.
[0202] It should be understood that to control the rotational freedom of the first connecting disk 100f about its own axis, the synchronous rotation device consisting of the first connecting rod 601, the second connecting rod 602, and the rotation transfer disk 700 only needs to be connected to either the first motion module 300f or the second motion module 400f. To control the pitch and roll freedom of the first connecting disk 100f, the first drive motor M1 and the second drive motor M2 only need to be connected to either the first motion module 300f or the second motion module 400f. Although in this embodiment, the synchronous rotation device, the first drive motor M1, and the second drive motor M2 are all connected to the first motion module 300f, this is not required. For example, in other possible embodiments, the synchronous rotation device can be connected to one of the first motion module 300f and the second motion module 400f, and the first drive motor M1 and the second drive motor M2 can be connected to the other of the first motion module 300f and the second motion module 400f.
[0203] FIG17 is a schematic diagram showing the connection relationship of the main components of the active system corresponding to FIG13.
[0204] Next, referring to the similar schematic diagram 18, it is described how the synchronous rotation device is set up in the passive system.
[0205] In the passive system, the first connecting plate 100f does not have rotational freedom, and the other end of the first connecting rod assembly 601 is directly connected to the second connecting plate 200f. That is, compared with the active system, the driving plate 800 is omitted in the passive system.
[0206] In the passive system, the rotation transmission disk 700 is still coaxially arranged with the first connecting member 330f, and the rotation transmission disk 700 and the first member 310f and the second member 320f can rotate relative to each other. The other end of the second connecting rod 602 is still connected to the rotating assembly 500f through a ball joint.
