Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of robotics technology, specifically a two-degree-of-freedom swing axis mechanism, a hip joint mechanism, an electro-hydraulic limb, and a heavy-duty robot. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of embodied intelligent robots and the electric energy revolution, there is a wide demand for robot and electromechanical applications. Existing robot drives generally use electric motors for rotary drive and electric cylinders powered by electric motors for linear drive. Although this is easy to control, it has the following drawbacks: the low torque of electric motors makes it impossible to achieve high load-bearing capacity when applied to robot joints; similarly, the linear drive of robots using electric cylinders cannot achieve high load-bearing capacity; although the lead screw and nut transmission structure of electric cylinders achieves precise transmission, it cannot achieve the ability to adapt to variable loads under high loads and the ability to withstand high load impacts. Therefore, existing robots generally only have the ability to operate or bear loads in the kilogram range, and cannot achieve the application of loads in the ton or hundreds of tons. Existing electromechanical devices, such as various electric engineering machinery, although they have large load-bearing capacity, generally use the original energy conversion path: engine-traditional hydraulic system-hydraulic cylinder drive path, or motor-traditional hydraulic system-hydraulic cylinder drive path. The system is cumbersome, with poor agility and convenience, limited applicable scenarios, and pseudo-energy saving. Therefore, solving the above problems and achieving agile load-bearing capacity of robots in various postures is key to limb drive and the scene adaptability of the drive method. A hydraulic actuator that is easy to control the robot by electric drive is needed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the issues of sluggish response and insufficient agility of pure electric drive under heavy-duty conditions, this invention provides a two-degree-of-freedom swing axis mechanism, a hip joint mechanism, an electro-hydraulic limb, and a heavy-duty robot.

The swing shaft is provided with a liquid replenishment cavity, which is connected to the outlet of the overflow valve.
[0010] The outer cylinder is provided with three-stage stepped holes, which are the first stepped hole, the second stepped hole, and the third stepped hole in sequence from the side extending out of the swing shaft. Among them, the two thrust bearings are installed in the first stepped hole, the second stepped hole is adapted to the outer circle of the piston body, and the third stepped hole is provided with helical teeth.

The inner end of the swing shaft is adapted to the annular groove on the inner side of the end cap body, and the rotating cavity is adapted to the boss at the center of the annular groove on the inner side of the end cap body. An oil passage L3 is provided in the boss to connect the overflow valve outlet and the rotating cavity. An oil passage is provided in the swing shaft to connect the replenishment cavity and the rotating cavity, thereby realizing the connection between the replenishment cavity and the flow valve outlet. The interface between oil passage L4 and oil passage L1 is opened on the circumference of the inner end of the swing shaft and matched with an annular oil guide groove. The position of the oil guide groove is adapted to the opening position of oil passage L1.
[0012] The hip joint mechanism, employing the aforementioned two-degree-of-freedom swing axis mechanism, also includes a limb base, which is provided with: Cavity: Used to accommodate and mount the X-axis rotary driver; Y-axis rack hole: connected to the cavity, in which a Y-rack is set and can be displaced along its extension direction; Meshing cavity: located at the connection between the cavity and the Y-direction rack hole, used to accommodate the pinion; The swing shaft hole connects to the cavity, and the swing shaft passes through the swing shaft hole; The cavity opening and the internal space of the swing shaft hole allow the swing shaft and the X-axis rotary drive to swing around the hinge axis within a preset angle range.
[0013] The Y-direction rack holes all use a cross-section with anti-rotation function.
[0014] The Y-direction rack hole has a polygonal cross-section.
[0015] The outer side of the limb base is provided with an adjacent front seat surface and a rear seat surface. The cavity extends inward from the front seat surface, and the Y-direction rack hole extends inward from the rear seat surface.
[0016] The cavity has hinge holes on both the upper and lower sides. On one side of the hinge hole, an angle sensor is installed at the corresponding opening on the outer side of the limb base to detect the hinge rotation angle.
[0017] The Y-axis rack hole penetrates the limb base, the Y-axis actuator is located on one side of the rear seat surface, and the rack displacement monitoring element is installed on the opening of the Y-axis rack hole away from the rear seat surface.
[0018] The electrohydraulic limb includes the aforementioned hip joint mechanism, with a swing shaft connecting to an active support leg. The active support leg is rotatably connected to a driven support leg structure, and the active support leg is hinged to a linear drive device. The drive end of the linear drive device is hinged to the driven support leg structure.
[0019] The driven outriggers are equipped with wheels and / or track wheels at their ends.
[0020] The wheels and / or track wheels are equipped with wheel drive motors.
[0021] The linear drive unit, hinged to the active and driven outriggers, is the main electro-hydraulic actuator, comprising: The cylinder has a piston rod that is an integral part of the rod and piston inside its cavity. The piston divides the cavity into a rod chamber and a rodless chamber. The power source, located inside the piston, is used to output pressure to the rod chamber and / or rodless chamber in both forward and reverse directions; The liquid replenishment cavity is located on the driven leg structure and is equipped with an isolation piston. The isolation piston divides the liquid replenishment cavity into a spring cavity and a liquid cavity, and a spring is installed in the spring cavity. The fluid replenishment channel is a fluid chamber that connects the rod chamber and the fluid replenishment cavity. The fluid replenishment channel includes a cylinder body channel disposed on the cylinder body, a pin shaft channel disposed in the pin shaft, and a leg channel disposed in the driven leg structure. A servo motor, driven by a transmission mechanism, is connected to a power source and used to control the forward and reverse output pressure of the power source. The rod chamber and the rodless chamber have a volume difference. During the extension and retraction of the piston rod, the replenishment channel is used to replenish the liquid in the replenishment chamber to the rod chamber and / or the rodless chamber to compensate for the volume difference.
[0022] The power source is a gear-type power source, which includes an internal meshing gear structure or an external meshing gear structure.
[0023] The power source is a plunger-type power source, including: a piston body, the outer circle of which is provided with a sealing groove, and a sealing element is installed in the sealing groove; The cover, when fastened to the piston body, forms a closed cavity; The swash plate is coaxially disposed within a closed cavity and fixed to the piston body; The return plate is coaxially mounted within a closed cavity.

The oil passages of the distribution plate are connected to the rod chamber and the rodless chamber respectively through the oil passages provided on the cover and the piston body. Multiple plungers, each plunger's slipper end is movably connected to the distribution plate, and each plunger is telescopically adapted and installed on the plunger distribution assembly; The splined shaft passes through the piston body, swashplate, return plate, plunger distribution assembly, distribution plate, and cover. The rotation of the splined shaft drives the plunger and plunger distribution assembly to output pressure to the rod chamber or rodless chamber in both directions.
[0024] The circuit from the rod chamber to the replenishment chamber is also a temperature control circuit, through which heat from the cylinder is transferred to the driven leg structure to achieve rapid heat dissipation.
[0025] The heavy-duty robot employing the aforementioned electro-hydraulic limbs includes a transport platform with a battery inside. Each of the four corners of the transport platform has a docking surface, and each docking surface has a male connector. The limb base has a docking end body, and the end face of the docking end body has a female connector that matches the male connector. Both the male and female connectors have electrical contacts at their docking points.

[0026] The female connector has a stepped hole structure, and its electrical contacts are installed in the small stepped holes.
[0027] In stepped holes, the large stepped hole is a square hole, and the small stepped hole is a tetrahedral conical hole.
[0028] The mating surface is equipped with two protective cavities, and the space of the protective cavities is adapted to the mounting structure of the X-axis driver and the Y-axis driver.
[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects: The robot adopts distributed electro-hydraulic drive, and each joint has a large load driving capability. The servo electro-hydraulic drive improves the power density ratio of the drive unit and saves energy, realizing heavy-load drive by direct electricity in a small volume. It has the high integration, high efficiency, high load, modularity and intelligence of motion load platforms such as robots, and also lays a new technical development direction for various electric engineering machinery. Especially in linear drive, it can cover various heavy-load drive scenarios. Its drive structure and control can also be used in humanoid robots, such as hip joint mechanisms, electro-hydraulic limbs, etc. The use of distributed electric drive with built-in closed hydraulic power system can greatly improve the driving capability of robots and heavy-load robots. It is a disruptive breakthrough similar to the Boston Dynamics robot drive method, improving the driving capability while possessing the flexibility of the Unitree robot.
[0030] The electro-hydraulic heavy-duty robot of this invention is adaptable to various application scenarios in modern industry. It can install and disassemble electro-hydraulic limbs using conventional lifting tools, or it can achieve manual on-site installation of a fourth electro-hydraulic limb through its own three-legged drive and coordinated movements. It has good scene adaptability and human-machine collaboration capabilities.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] like Figure 1-22A heavy-duty electro-hydraulic robot includes a transport platform 2 and electro-hydraulic limbs 1. The electro-hydraulic limbs 1 include: a hip joint mechanism, a leg flexion-extension mechanism, and wheels 108. The transport platform 2 has hip joint mechanisms at its four corners. The drive end of each hip joint mechanism is connected to a leg flexion-extension mechanism, and wheels 108 are located at the lower end of each leg flexion-extension mechanism. Wheels 108 can be tracked wheels, such as anti-sinking triangular tracked wheels. The hip joint mechanism includes: a limb base 101, and X-axis rotation drive. Device 102, Y-axis actuator 103, Y-axis rack 110, Y-axis rack hole 111, swing shaft hole 114, photoelectric displacement sensor 116, swing shaft 117, limb base 101 is provided with upper seat surface 122, front seat surface 123, rear seat surface 124 and seat body, the seat body and the front seat surface 123 are provided with cavity 112, the front seat surface 123 is provided with swing shaft hole 114, the swing shaft hole 114 communicates with cavity 112, the cavity 112 is adapted to be rotated in the X direction. The X-axis rotary actuator 102 is equipped with a swing shaft 117 and a hinge shaft. A pinion 113 is mounted on one end of the hinge shaft. Two hinge shaft holes, adapted to the hinge shaft of the X-axis rotary actuator 102, are provided on the upper and lower sides of the cavity 112. The X-axis rotary actuator 102 is mounted within the cavity 112 via the hinge shaft. The swing shaft 117 extends from the swing shaft hole 114. A mounting surface is provided on the opposite surface parallel to the rear seat surface 124 of the limb base 101, and a Y-axis... The actuator 103 has a Y-axis rack hole 111 in its housing. The Y-axis rack hole 111 intersects with the hinge shaft hole on the lower side of the cavity 112. A meshing cavity for accommodating a pinion 113 is provided at the intersection. A Y-axis rack 110 is provided in the Y-axis rack hole 111. The Y-axis rack 110 moves axially along the Y-axis rack hole 111. The Y-axis rack hole 111 is polygonal and is adapted to constrain the Y-axis rack 110 to prevent rotation. The Y-axis rack 110 meshes with the pinion 113. The Y-axis rack hole 111 extends inward from the rear seat surface 124, passes through the meshing cavity and penetrates the limb base 101, and a Y-axis rack 110 is installed inside the Y-axis rack hole 111. The Y-axis rack 110 is driven by a Y-axis driver 103 installed on one side of the rear seat surface 124, and the output direction of the driver is consistent with the extension direction of its corresponding rack hole. The Y-axis rack hole 111 has a polygonal cross-section to prevent the rack from rotating.
[0035] In this embodiment, the Y-axis driver 103 is a linear drive mechanism, but this does not mean that the Y rack 110 can only be driven by a linear drive mechanism. Other mechanisms, such as gear mechanisms, can also drive its linear motion, and are also within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] like Figure 4-5As shown, the cross-section of the Y-axis rack hole 111 is square. The tooth surface of the Y-axis rack 110 meshes with the pinion 113. A photoelectric displacement sensor 116 is installed at the end of the Y-axis rack hole 111 away from the drive side. The photoelectric displacement sensor 116 can also be other ranging sensors, such as a pull rope sensor, a magnetic grating sensor, a magnetostrictive displacement sensor, a radar ranging sensor, etc. Any device or component that can monitor the displacement difference generated by the extension and retraction of the X-axis rack 115 and the Y-axis rack 110. An angle sensor 115 is also provided on the upper seat surface 122. The angle sensor 115 is connected to the upper hinge shaft of the X-axis rotary driver 102 through the hinge shaft hole. The angle sensor 115 determines the swing angle of the X-axis rotary driver 102 around the center of the hinge shaft. The angle sensor 115 can also be other sensors that measure angles or rotation, such as a rotary encoder.
[0037] like Figure 6 The Y-axis actuator 103 drives the Y-rack 110 to mesh with the pinion 113 and rotate, causing the X-axis rotary actuator 102 to rotate around the hinge axis center, thereby realizing the reciprocating oscillation of the X-axis rotary actuator 102 in the H direction. The X-axis rotary actuator 102 drives the pendulum shaft 117 to rotate, causing the pendulum shaft 117 and the electro-hydraulic limb 1 to rotate around the center of the pendulum shaft 117 in the S direction. Figure 6-7 The limb base 101 extends symmetrically along the centerline of the X-axis rotary actuator 102 and the Y-axis actuator 103, and is provided with a docking end body. The end face of the docking end body is provided with a female connector. The female connector is a mating interface with a large stepped hole transitioning to a small stepped hole and has a quick-connect and plug-in connection function. The large stepped hole is a square hole 118, and the small stepped hole is a four-sided conical hole 119. The connection end face of the square hole 118 and the small stepped hole is provided with a seal 120. The inner side of the four-sided conical hole 119 is provided with an elastic electrical contact 121. Preferably, the symmetrically arranged X-axis rotary actuator 102 and Y-axis actuator 103 motors are adjacent, and the elastic electrical contact 121 is electrically connected to the X-axis rotary actuator. The motors of the actuator 102 and the Y-axis actuator 103 have through pin holes on their docking ends. The highly integrated external structure of the limb base 101 realizes the compact and high-strength connection of the leg flexion and extension mechanism, the X-axis rotary actuator 102, the Y-axis actuator 103, and the external transport platform 2. This not only ensures a large range of motion space for the leg flexion and extension mechanism, but also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the X-axis rotary actuator 102 and the Y-axis actuator 103, and protects the motors of the X-axis rotary actuator 102 and the Y-axis actuator 103 from accidental external damage. The limb base 101 has highly integrated pipeline channels, which facilitate docking with the transport platform 2 without being exposed.
[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 12The leg extension mechanism includes: an active outrigger structure 105, a main electro-hydraulic actuator 106, and a driven outrigger structure 107. The driven outrigger structure 107 has a double-ear fork 1074 at its upper end, and a single ear extends from the upper end of the double-ear fork 1074. The active outrigger structure 105 houses the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106, which can be movably connected to the active outrigger structure 105 via a hinge or other means. The lower end of the active outrigger structure 105 has double ears that are connected to the single ear trunnion of the driven outrigger structure 107. The telescopic end of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 has a single ear that is connected to the trunnion of the double-ear fork 1074 of the driven outrigger structure 107.
[0039] like Figure 2 The lower section of the driven outrigger structure 107 is equipped with a wheel 108 and a wheel drive motor 109, which drives the connecting wheel 108.
[0040] The main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and the Y-axis drive 103 are linear electro-hydraulic actuators with cooling or temperature control circuits, such as... Figure 9-11 The linear electro-hydraulic actuator includes: a self-contained linear electro-hydraulic actuator with an eyelet connected to the driven outrigger structure 107 at the front; a piston rod integrated with the piston and rod inside the cylinder cavity; the cylinder body being placed inside the active outrigger structure 105; a swing shaft 117 connected to the active outrigger structure 105; and a built-in power source 1061 in the piston. The power source 1061 is gear-type or similar. Figure 16 Plunger type, gear type including such Figure 14 The internal meshing structure and such Figure 15The cylinder features an external meshing structure, which can be an involute gear or a helical gear. A cavity is located within the rod, housing a small piston. The small piston divides the cavity into a rodless cavity 1064 and a front cooling cavity 10610. A rotatable splined shaft 1062 is fixedly mounted at the cylinder bottom. The splined shaft 1062 passes through a power source 1061 and is movably connected to the small piston. The splined shaft 1062 drives the power source 1061. The piston rod divides the cylinder cavity into a rod cavity 1063 and a rear cooling cavity 1065. The front cooling cavity 10610 and rear cooling cavity 1065 are heat-conducting cavities. A servo motor 1068 is located on one side of the cylinder bottom. A transmission mechanism is located at the tail end of the splined shaft 1062 and is connected to the drive shaft of the servo motor 1068. Teeth are pre-set in the splined holes of the splined shaft 1062 and the drive shaft of the power source 1061. The cylinder has a backlash channel 1066, a channel 1067 inside the splined shaft 1062, and an oil passage 1069 in the piston rod body. The servo motor 1068 drives the splined shaft 1062 to rotate forward and backward, causing the power source 1061 to output pressure to the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064 in both directions. The cross-sectional areas of the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064 are equal. The cylinder body has a connection inlet and outlet for connecting to the main circulation system. The cylinder body has a channel connecting to the channel 1067 of the splined shaft 1062. Coolant or lubricant enters the cylinder body channel, channel 1067, front cooling chamber 10610, backlash channel 1066, and rear cooling chamber 1065 in sequence and then exits. The above constitutes a cooling or temperature control circuit. The cylinder body has a pressure sensor connecting the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064.
[0041] Figure 11 and Figure 9 The structural difference is that the servo motor 1068 is side-mounted and drives the spline shaft 1062 to rotate through gear transmission or belt transmission. This allows for better axial space reservation. For example, the front flange connection structure is suitable for the Y-axis drive 103. The cylinder body is placed inside the active support leg structure 105 and can be used as the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106.
[0042] The main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 can be a linear electro-hydraulic actuator with a replenishment circuit, such as... Figure 12 , Figure 13 The driven outrigger structure 107 is provided with a fluid replenishment cavity 1071.

[0044] like Figure 12 , Figure 13The structural difference between the two is that the spline shaft 1062 is a spline lead screw shaft 10612, with a lead screw nut 10613 fixed inside the rod. The servo motor 1068 drives the spline lead screw shaft 10612 to rotate forward and backward, so that the power source 1061 outputs pressure to the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064 in both directions. At the same time, the spline lead screw shaft 10612 also cooperates with the lead screw nut 10613 for transmission, so that it has both hydraulic transmission and lead screw transmission dual drive performance, which is more efficient and the telescopic position detection is more accurate and convenient. The servo motor 1068 can also be an axial flux motor or a stepper motor.

[0047] The working method is as follows: like Figure 1-22The control logic and component composition are as follows: The carrier platform 2 is equipped with a battery, control valve, temperature sensor, vision sensor, attitude sensor, and remote control module connected to the control system 205, and can also connect to external modules. The electro-hydraulic limb 1 is equipped with a pressure sensor, displacement sensor, angle sensor, and motor connected to the control system 205. The pressure sensor is mainly used to collect pressure data from the rod chamber 1063, rodless chamber 1064, rodless chamber W1, and rod chamber W2 and feed it back to the control system 205. The instantaneous pressure of the two chambers of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106, X-axis rotary driver 102, and Y-axis driver 103 during operation is the force generated by load changes. The control system 205 can control the force by outputting torque to the motor based on the feedback pressure. Combined with the data from the displacement sensor feedback to the control system 205, the spatial position and angle state of each part of the electro-hydraulic limb 1 can be determined. Combined with the data from the vision sensor and attitude sensor, the control system 205 can perform calculations based on the data from each sensor to realize the robot's posture and actions. The displacement sensor can be magnetostrictive, rope-type, photoelectric, or radar-type. Figure 9-13 The servo motor 1068 drives the spline shaft 1062 to rotate in both directions, causing the power source 1061 to output pressure to the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064 in both directions. The power source 1061 outputs a fixed amount of pressurized oil. Therefore, the servo motor 1068 outputs a corresponding proportion of hydraulic oil to the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064 per revolution. The volume change is the piston rod extension and retraction. Therefore, the piston rod extension and retraction can be determined based on the number of rotations of the motor in one direction. This data can be fed back to the control system 205.
[0048] Execution of the action: The extension and retraction of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106, such as Figure 11-12 The servo motor 1068 drives the splined shaft 1062 to rotate forward and backward, causing the power source 1061 to work in both directions and output pressure to the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064. When the piston rod extends and retracts, and the rodless chamber 1064 has a volume difference, the rod chamber 1063 connects to the fluid replenishment chamber 1071 through the fluid replenishment channel 16011, the pin channel, and the channel of the driven leg structure 107, thus replenishing fluid and adjusting and replenishing the volume difference during the rod extension and retraction process. Figure 9-10The rod-mounted cavity 1063 and the rodless cavity 1064 have equal volumes. The driven outrigger structure 107 is a solid component. The application scenarios for the two structures are as follows: When a fluid replenishment structure is present, the heat dissipation circuits of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and the driven outrigger structure 107 can effectively dissipate heat, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency operation and low-load scenarios. When a fluid replenishment structure is absent, the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and the driven outrigger structure 107 have a more robust appearance and higher structural strength, making them suitable for low-frequency operation and ultra-high-load scenarios. The extension and retraction of 06 enables the amplitude-changing action of the active outrigger structure 105 and the driven outrigger structure 107. The main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 is hinged to the active outrigger structure 105. With the connection point between the active outrigger structure 105 and the driven outrigger structure 107 as the center, the displacement opening and closing of the wheel 108 or the lifting of the robot body is realized. During the operation, the attitude, spatial position and force are driven and controlled based on the feedback data of the pressure sensor and displacement sensor connected in the rod cavity 1063 and the rodless cavity 1064.
[0049] For horizontal steering of electrohydraulic limb 1, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4-6 , Figure 20 The Y-axis actuator 103 extends or retracts, driving the Y-rack 110 to axially extend and retract within the Y-axis rack hole 111. The pinion 113 meshing with the Y-rack 110 rotates, causing the swing shaft 117 of the X-axis rotary actuator 102 to swing along the H-axis. The leg flexion and extension mechanism connected to the swing shaft 117 follows suit, and the wheel 108 achieves steering. For the circumferential rotation of the electrohydraulic limb 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4-6 , Figure 20 , Figure 23-24The X-axis rotary actuator 102 operates, and the end motor 102-7 drives the bidirectional pump power unit 102-6 to operate. The bidirectional pump rotates forward and reverse. When the output pressure oil reaches the rodless chamber W1, it passes through oil passage L1, the guide groove 117-4, and the connecting oil passage. When the output pressure reaches the rod chamber W2, it passes through oil passage L2. During the forward and reverse rotation of the bidirectional pump, the two circuits act as a high-pressure circuit and a low-pressure oil supply circuit to each other. The rodless chamber W1 and the rod chamber W2 have a volume difference; therefore, during the forward and reverse rotation of the bidirectional pump, fluid replenishment can be achieved. For example, if oil passage L1 is high-pressure... When pressure is applied, oil passage L2 opens for replenishment via the second hydraulically controlled check valve 102-10, allowing the stored oil in replenishment chamber 117-1 to be replenished to oil passage L2 via the rotating orifice chamber 117-3 and oil passage L3. Simultaneously, the high pressure in oil passage L1 is relieved via the second check valve 102-12 and overflow valve 102-13. If oil passage L2 is under high pressure, oil passage L2 opens for replenishment via the first hydraulically controlled check valve 102-9, allowing the stored oil in replenishment chamber 117-1 to be replenished to oil passage L1 via the rotating orifice chamber 117-3 and oil passage L3. Simultaneously, oil passage L... The high pressure of valve 2 is unloaded through the second check valve 102-12 and the relief valve 102-13. When the pressure is input to the rodless chamber W1 or the rod chamber W2, the piston body 102-4 moves axially and rotates relative to the helical sleeve under hydraulic action. Since the inner helical sleeve hole of the third step hole of the outer cylinder 102-1 is fixed, the combined motion of the piston body 102-4 forces the swing shaft 117 to generate rotational motion, thereby outputting torque. The two thrust bearings 102-2 clamp the push flange 117-2, restricting the axial movement of the swing shaft 117. The rodless chamber W1 or the rod chamber W2 is open. The pressure sensor provides feedback data, and the rotation angle is fed back by the angle sensor 115. The swing shaft 117 rotates circumferentially along the S direction, and the leg flexion and extension mechanism connected to the swing shaft 117 rotates accordingly. The internal working process of the Y-axis actuator 103 extension and retraction is the same as that of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106. During the operation, the pressure sensor and the photoelectric displacement sensor 116 monitor the distance difference generated by the extension and retraction of the Y rack 110 based on the connection between the rod cavity 1063 and the rodless cavity 1064. The feedback data from the motor is used to drive and control the angle, attitude, spatial position, and force.
[0050] The wheel 108 travels, and the lower end of the leg flexion and extension mechanism is equipped with the wheel 108. The hip joint mechanism drives the leg flexion and extension mechanism and the wheel 108 to steer. The control system 205 drives the wheel drive motor 109 based on the data transmitted from the vision sensor, posture sensor, and remote control module, as well as its own calculations. The wheel drive motor 109 drives the connected wheel 108 to output torque. The four wheels 108 work together to achieve acceleration, deceleration, and clamping. When clamping, the wheel 108 is used as a fixed foot for the robot. The wheel 108 can also be replaced with tracked wheels, such as anti-sinking triangular tracked wheels, which can be used in different ground environments.
[0051] Driving stability and shock absorption: The four-legged vehicle platform 2 can be stably controlled according to different road conditions. Based on data from vision sensors, attitude sensors, and human input, combined with the robot's motion state and posture, control is achieved. For example, when the wheel 108 accelerates or decelerates, the robot body tends to lean backward or forward due to inertia. This can be achieved by the slight extension and retraction of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and the pressure sensor changes connected to the rod-side cavity 1063 and the rodless cavity 1064, which monitors the movement of the load center of gravity and controls one or more of the four legs to apply force, i.e., the output driven by the servo motor 1068. This ensures that the load cavity of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 has sufficient force to overcome the increased load. Similarly, the control of climbing, descending, and lateral slopes is the same. Large-angle slopes can be controlled by the left and right sides, front and rear sides. The main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 extends or retracts in a large proportion, maintaining the transport platform 2 within a reasonable and safe center of gravity range. However, during movement, uneven road surfaces can cause balance fluctuations and vibrations in the transport platform 2. To mitigate the adverse effects on the robot under heavy load, the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106, or the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and / or the X-axis rotary actuator 102, monitor pressure changes through displacement sensors of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and pressure sensors connected to the rod-side cavity 1063 and the rodless cavity 1064. This drives the servo motor 1068 to rotate in both directions, enabling the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 to extend and retract accordingly. Simultaneously, the X-axis rotary actuator 102 coordinates to control the electro-hydraulic limb 1 to rotate slightly in the circumferential positive and negative angles, thus achieving overall stability and vibration reduction of the transport platform 2.
[0052] Energy recovery: Under the influence of external load, the passive extension and retraction of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and the Y-axis drive 103, as well as the braking of the wheel 108, can all realize the recovery and storage of electrical energy in the battery 204. Taking the passive extension and retraction of the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 as an example, the piston rod extends and retracts, and a pressure difference is generated between the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064. The pressure oil in the high-pressure chamber passes through the power source 1061, and the power source 1061 outputs torque by rotating in both directions, which is transmitted to the spline shaft 1062 and the servo motor 1068, thereby generating electrical energy to realize power generation.
[0053] Temperature control: When the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 and the Y-axis actuator 103 are linear electro-hydraulic actuators with cooling or temperature control circuits, the piston rod continuously extends and retracts, generating a large amount of heat inside the cylinder. This heat is directly conducted to the rear cooling chamber 1065 and the front cooling chamber 10610, causing the liquid inside to absorb heat. When the piston rod extends and retracts, the rear cooling chamber 1065 and the front cooling chamber 10610 are led out through the cylinder body channel, the orifice 1067, and the tooth clearance channel 1066 to the quick-connect coupling 210. Through the control valve 211, they are connected to the thermal circulation system 206, the cold circulation system 207, and the volume compensator 208. The control system 205 monitors and controls the logic opening and closing of multiple control valves 211 and throttling control based on the temperature control sensor to realize the circulation of the liquid. Heat exchange control of the body; when the main electro-hydraulic actuator 106 can be a linear electro-hydraulic actuator with a replenishment circuit, the piston rod continuously extends and retracts, generating a large amount of heat in the cylinder. The heat pressure liquid exchanges through the rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064. The rod chamber 1063 and the rodless chamber 1064 have a volume difference. The heat pressure liquid is connected to the replenishment cavity 1071 through the replenishment channel 16011, the pin channel, and the channel of the driven leg structure 107. Through this circuit, the heat in the cylinder is introduced into the driven leg structure 107 for rapid heat dissipation. The driven leg structure 107, as a swinging component, achieves good heat dissipation capacity by accelerating the surface airflow. Heat dissipation fins can be set on the surface of the driven leg structure 107 to further improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0054] Quick-change and quick-disassembly: This mainly refers to the connection between the carrier platform 2 and the electro-hydraulic limb 1, where the carrier platform 2 is in a ground-contact state, such as... Figure 21 The electro-hydraulic limb 1 can retract using the ground as a common reference plane. External tools or equipment are used to bring the electro-hydraulic limb 1 closer to the corresponding mounting position on the transport platform 2. Specifically, the female connector and male connector 202 of the limb base 101 are paired and inserted. The conical surface of the male connector 202 is provided with electrical contacts 209, which are adapted to mate with the elastic electrical contacts 121. The male connector 202 is provided with a pin hole 212, which is adapted to a through pin hole on the docking end body. Inserting the pin locks the connection between the transport platform 2 and the hip joint mechanism. The seal 120 prevents liquid from entering and causing an electrical short circuit. The transport platform 2 can also be in a working raised state, such as... Figure 1The electro-hydraulic limb 1 is lifted by lifting points on the limb base 101, allowing it to be brought close to the corresponding installation position on the transport platform 2 using external lifting tools, external lifting modules on the transport platform 2 itself, or other engineering equipment, and the aforementioned steps are performed. For quick disassembly, the process is reversed. Meanwhile, quick-change connectors 210 are provided at the ports of the hot circulation system 206 and cold circulation system 207 exiting the main body 201. These quick-change connectors 210 are used for quick plug-and-play connections to the main circulation system inlet and outlet, which are located on the linear electro-hydraulic actuator cylinder and have cooling or temperature control circuits. This quick-change and quick-disassembly allows for rapid on-site replacement of the electro-hydraulic limb 1 during actual operation, providing high maintainability and field applicability.
