Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of robot motion components, specifically relating to the motion control structure of a robot universal wheel. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component for enabling robots to move flexibly, the stability of the omnidirectional wheels and their shock absorption performance directly affect the robot's operating accuracy and service life.

[0003] Existing robot casters generally use traditional spring damping structures with fixed damping strength. This makes it impossible to dynamically adjust the cushioning performance according to different road conditions. When traveling on rough roads, excessive vibration can easily lead to component damage, while on smooth roads, over-buffering can affect motion response speed. At the same time, most caster steering adjustment mechanisms lack stability, and are prone to deviation or jamming during rotation, making it difficult to meet the motion control requirements of high-precision robots.

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides the following technical solution: a robot omnidirectional wheel motion control structure, including a motor wheel 1, and further including:

[0024] The electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 has a "U"-shaped structure, and the two ends of the lower part of the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 are fixed to the central shaft of the motor wheel 1.

[0025] The upper support plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2. A limiting rod 6 is integrally formed at the center of the lower surface of the upper support plate 3. The upper part of the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2 is provided with a hole 32, and the lower end of the limiting rod 6 passes through the hole 32 and is screwed with a nut. A limiting block 5 is welded to the upper end of the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2. The surface of the upper support plate 3 is provided with a guide groove 4 with an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the guide groove 4 coincides with the axis of the limiting rod 6. The limiting block 5 is movably installed in the guide groove 4.

[0026] Adjusting component 7, with its two ends rotatably mounted on electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2 and upper support plate 3 respectively.

[0027] In this embodiment, a universal wheel motion control structure consisting of a motor wheel 1, an electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2, an upper support plate 3, and an adjusting component 7 is used. The electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 adjusts its damping strength by changing the external current, thereby dynamically adjusting the buffering performance of the universal wheel during movement and improving the robot's shock absorption. The adjusting component 7 is used to adjust the steering between the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 and the upper support plate 3. Meanwhile, the limiting rod 6, integrally formed on the lower surface of the middle part of the upper support plate 3, passes through the insertion hole 32 at the upper end of the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 and is fixed by a nut, which facilitates the rotation of the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 on the lower surface of the upper support plate 3. The limiting block 5 welded to the upper end of the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 is movably installed in the guide groove 4 opened on the surface of the upper support plate 3, which facilitates the guidance of the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 when rotating on the lower surface of the upper support plate 3 through the cooperation of the limiting block 5 and the guide groove 4, increasing the stability of the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 when rotating on the lower surface of the upper support plate 3.

[0028] Specifically, the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 includes an upper horizontal plate 21, with titanium alloy sleeves 22 welded to both ends of the upper horizontal plate 21. A movable rod 23 is movably installed inside the lower end of the titanium alloy sleeve 22. A non-magnetic tungsten steel tube 34 is installed inside the titanium alloy sleeve 22. A locking block 24 is screwed onto the lower end of the titanium alloy sleeve 22 and is fitted onto the outside of the movable rod 23. A slider 25 is integrally formed at the upper end of the movable rod 23. The slider 25 is in close contact with the inner surface of the non-magnetic tungsten steel tube 34. A magnet 26 is fixed at the upper end of the slider 25. An electromagnet 27 is fixed inside the upper end of the titanium alloy sleeve 22. The electromagnet 27 and the magnet 26... A non-magnetic tungsten steel spring 28 is fixed between them. A first return spring 29 is welded to the lower part of the slider 25, and the first return spring 29 is sleeved on the outside of the upper end of the movable rod 23. A bidirectional resistance guide groove 30 for air flow is opened on the slider 25. The bidirectional resistance guide groove 30 is provided with a bidirectional horn mouth structure with several annular arrays. An angle iron 31 is welded to the lower end of the movable rod 23. The angle iron 31 is installed on the central shaft of the motor wheel 1. Two titanium alloy sleeves 22 are welded to both ends of the upper horizontal plate 21 and are arranged in parallel. The lower ends of the two movable rods 23 are welded to an angle iron 31 and installed in the two titanium alloy sleeves 22.

[0029] In this embodiment, an electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 is constructed from an upper horizontal plate 21, a titanium alloy sleeve 22, a movable rod 23, a locking block 24, a slider 25, a magnet 26, an electromagnet 27, a non-magnetic tungsten steel spring 28, a first return spring 29, a bidirectional resistance guide groove 30, an angle iron 31, a first rotating shaft 33, and a non-magnetic tungsten steel tube 34. The upper end of the movable rod 23 is movably installed inside the titanium alloy sleeve 22. Simultaneously, the slider 25, integrally formed at the upper end of the movable rod 23, closely adheres to the inner surface of the non-magnetic tungsten steel tube 34 installed inside the titanium alloy sleeve 22, thereby facilitating the guidance of the slider 25 by the non-magnetic tungsten steel tube 34. The magnet 26 fixed at the upper end of the slider 25 and the electromagnet 27 installed at the upper end of the titanium alloy sleeve 22 enable the electromagnet 25 to... When energized, 7 generates a magnetic force that repels the magnet 26, thereby allowing the electromagnet 27 to adjust the resistance of the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2 during buffering under the action of the external current. The non-magnetic tungsten steel spring 28 fixed between the magnet 26 and the electromagnet 27, and the first return spring 29 fixed at the lower end of the slider 25, work together to increase the reset performance of the slider 25 when it moves within the non-magnetic tungsten steel tube 34. The bidirectional resistance guide groove 30 opened on the surface of the slider 25, with its bidirectional flared structure in a ring array, facilitates the movement of air through the bidirectional resistance guide groove 30 within the titanium alloy sleeve 22, thereby hindering the movement of the slider 25 and achieving the buffering purpose of the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2.

[0030] Specifically, the adjusting component 7 includes an electric push rod 71, with a second rotating shaft 73 and a first rotating shaft 33 respectively installed at both ends of the electric push rod 71. The first rotating shaft 33 is installed on the side surface of the upper horizontal plate 21, and the second rotating shaft 73 is installed on the lower surface of the upper support plate 3. A second return spring 72 is sleeved on the electric push rod 71, and both ends of the electric push rod 71 are welded and fixed to both ends of the second return spring 72.

[0031] In this embodiment, an adjusting component 7 is used, consisting of an electric push rod 71, a second return spring 72, and a second rotating shaft 73. One end of the electric push rod 71 is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the upper support plate 3 via the second rotating shaft 73, and the other end of the electric push rod 71 is rotatably connected to the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2 via the first rotating shaft 33. At the same time, the second return spring 72, which is sleeved on the electric push rod 71, plays a role in resetting, thereby facilitating the adjusting component 7 to adjust the angle of the electromagnetic damping wheel frame 2 on the lower surface of the upper support plate 3.

[0032] In actual use, the upper support plate 3 is fixedly connected to the robot body, and the motor wheel 1 drives the robot to move. When traveling on rough terrain, the external control system increases the current of the electromagnet 27, which strengthens the repulsive force between the electromagnet and the magnet block 26. This, combined with the non-magnetic tungsten steel spring 28 and the first return spring 29, increases the damping strength to enhance the buffering effect. When the slider 25 moves, the air generates damping force through the bidirectional resistance guide groove 30, further optimizing the shock absorption effect. When turning, the electric push rod 71 extends and retracts, causing the electromagnetic shock-absorbing wheel frame 2 to rotate around the limiting rod 6. The limiting block 5 slides along the guide groove 4 to ensure stable turning, and the second return spring 72 assists the electric push rod 71 in resetting.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
