The Y-axis servo 21 in the Y-axis servo assembly 2 and the X-axis servo 31 in the X-axis servo assembly 3 can rotate 180 degrees respectively. The controller adopts a single-chip microcomputer with model STM32 as the control center of the whole self-stabilizing platform, is responsible for receiving external instructions, and controls the rotation of the Y-axis servo assembly 2 and the X-axis servo assembly 3 according to the instructions, so as to realize the self-stabilization and angle adjustment of the laser radar 6.

[0021] In addition, a posture sensor is also included, which is in communication connection with the controller, and transmits the real-time posture of the laser radar 6 platform to the controller through the posture sensor. The posture sensor adopts a nine-axis posture sensor JY901, and transmits the real-time posture of the laser radar 6 platform to the controller through serial communication mode. According to the deviation of the roll angle (X) and the pitch angle (Y) detected by the posture sensor, the output of the fuzzy self-tuning position type PID control single-chip microcomputer PWM wave duty cycle is adopted, so as to control the two servos to realize the self-stabilization control of the laser radar 6 platform.

[0022] The Y-axis steering engine assembly 2 comprises a support 20 and a Y-axis steering engine 21 arranged on the support 20, the support 20 is vertically arranged on the connecting seat 1, and the Y-axis steering engine 21 is in communication connection with the controller.

The Y-axis steering engine 21 is arranged on the support 20 and is responsible for rotation in the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis steering engine 21 adjusts the rotation angle accurately by receiving the control signal from the controller, and the output end of the Y-axis steering engine 21 is connected to the L-shaped support 30 to drive the X-axis steering engine assembly 3 and the laser radar 6 to adjust the angle in the Y-axis direction. The X-axis steering engine 31 is arranged on the L-shaped support 30 and is responsible for rotation in the X-axis direction, i.e., the horizontal direction. The X-axis steering engine 31 also adjusts the rotation angle accurately by receiving the control signal from the controller.

[0023] The connecting piece 4 comprises a U-shaped frame 40 arranged on the output end of the X-axis steering engine 31 and a connecting frame 41 arranged on the U-shaped frame 40 in a vertical mode, and the supporting base 50 is arranged at the bottom of the connecting frame 41. The supporting base 50 and the U-shaped frame 40 are both provided with a hollow structure. The U-shaped frame 40 is arranged on the output end of the X-axis steering engine 31 and serves as the main component of the connecting piece 4. The design of the U-shaped frame 40 facilitates stable connection with the output end of the X-axis steering engine 31 and provides sufficient strength and stability to support the subsequent connecting frame 41 and supporting base 50. The U-shaped structure of the U-shaped frame 40 helps to maintain the stability and rigidity of the structure during rotation and reduces deformation or loosening caused by rotation. The connecting frame 41 is arranged on the U-shaped frame 40 in a vertical mode and serves as the mounting basis of the supporting base 50. The design of the connecting frame 41 needs to ensure stable connection with the U-shaped frame 40 and provide sufficient support area and strength to support the weight of the supporting base 50 and the laser radar 6. The vertical structure of the connecting frame 41 helps to achieve stable support and force transmission in the vertical direction. The hollow structure on the supporting base 50 and the U-shaped frame 40 helps to reduce the weight of the entire connecting piece 4, thereby reducing the load and energy consumption of the entire self-stabilizing platform structure, and the hollow structure increases the air flow channel, which helps to improve the heat dissipation performance of the connecting piece 4 and its surrounding components. This helps to reduce the accumulation of heat caused by long-time operation and improves the stability and reliability of the entire self-stabilizing platform structure.

[0024] The mounting platform 5 comprises a support base 50 connected to the X-axis steering engine assembly 3, a fixed platform 51 arranged on the support base 50, and a support platform 52 arranged on the fixed platform 51, and the laser radar 6 is arranged on the support platform 52.

[0025] The fixed platform 51 is provided with a protective cover 54 in a cross-shaped structure, and the laser radar 6 is located in the protective cover 54. The protective cover 54 is designed in a cross shape, which can widen the field of view of the spherical robot and avoid external impact while observing the actual situation of the laser radar 6.

[0026] In the working process of the structure, when the obstacle-avoiding spherical robot starts and needs to adjust the angle of the laser radar 6, the controller first performs initialization to ensure that each component is in a normal working state. Then the controller receives external instructions from the obstacle-avoiding spherical robot, which can include target angles, speed and other parameters that the laser radar 6 needs to adjust. The controller calculates the control signals to be sent to the Y-axis steering engine assembly 2 and the X-axis steering engine assembly 3 according to the received instructions and the current angle information of the laser radar 6. Then the controller sends the calculated control signals to the Y-axis steering engine assembly 2 and the X-axis steering engine assembly 3 to control their rotation. The Y-axis steering engine assembly 2 and the X-axis steering engine assembly 3 rotate according to the received control signals, and drive the laser radar 6 on the mounting platform 5 to adjust the angle. During the adjustment process, the controller can need to make feedback adjustment according to the actual angle information of the laser radar 6 to ensure that the laser radar 6 can accurately reach the target angle.

[0027] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
