The invention relates to a multi-joint reconfigurable flexible
control unit technology based on
visual navigation in a narrow space, and belongs to the technical field of special mechanical arms. The technology comprises an ultra-redundant
rope-driven mechanical arm
mechanical system and a
control system. The
mechanical system is composed of a driving base, a hollow hose, a hollow rod, a displacement table and a connecting rod set. The driving base is provided with a linear driving device distributed in the circumferential direction, a driving line is controlled to move through a lead screw guide rail module, a driving line guiding mechanism and a line outlet structure are arranged, and pre-tightening, guiding and low-friction transmission of a
rope are achieved. And the hollow hose isolates the driving part from the mechanical arm working part, so that the environmental adaptability is improved. The displacement table is attracted to the outside of a narrow space through the magnetic gauge stand, the vertical movement freedom degree is provided through the lead screw guide rail module, and the
working space is enlarged. The connecting rod set adopts redundant joint design and is composed of hollow connecting rods connected through universal joints, rapid reconstruction is achieved by changing the length of the connecting rods and the number of the joints, and the end
effector is integrated with a visual sensor and supports
visual navigation and detection tasks. A single-section connecting rod is driven by three ropes which are arranged at intervals of 120 degrees, and driving wires are arranged in a shared routing passage mode. The
control system takes a core controller as a center, comprises a driving line driving module, a mechanical
arm position and posture feedback module, a sensing module acquisition module and a position and posture rapid adjustment module, realizes
kinematics decoupling,
encoder real-time position and posture feedback, multi-sensor
information fusion and manual rocker intervention, and ensures flexible and stable operation in a narrow and complex space. According to the invention, the problems of visual blind area and unreachable operation in a narrow space are solved, and the
system has high flexibility,
reconfigurability and strong
load capacity, and is suitable for detection, maintenance and
assembly tasks in the fields of
aerospace,
electronics, weapons and the like.
