In some preferred embodiments, the robot further comprises a linkage assembly 8, the jaw assembly 6 is hinged to the lower arm connecting rod 3, and the lower arm steering engine 5 can control the jaw assembly 6 to swing relatively on the lower arm connecting rod 3 through the linkage assembly 8; wherein, under the linkage effect of lower arm steering wheel 5 operation and linkage assembly 8, the swing direction of lower arm connecting rod 3 is opposite with the swing direction of clamping jaw assembly 6, and the concrete expression is: when the lower arm steering engine 5 drives the lower arm connecting rod 3 to swing upwards relative to the upper arm connecting rod 2, the linkage assembly 8 enables the clamping jaw assembly 6 to swing downwards relative to the lower arm connecting rod 3, so that when the lower arm connecting rod 3 swings upwards, the grabbing end of the clamping jaw assembly 6 can keep inclining forwards; when this design makes clamping jaw assembly 6 be used for snatching the eminence target, can avoid clamping jaw assembly 6 mistake to bump flying robot's aircraft, when guaranteeing flying robot aerial operation, the aircraft space can be avoided to the displacement orbit of clamping jaw assembly 6 among the arm motion process.
Generally, when the industrial mechanical arm works, a lower grabbing mode is often adopted for grabbing and releasing a target, and when the industrial mechanical arm is directly applied to a flying robot, the target is influenced by front wind force and is easy to swing and even drop in the industrial mechanical arm in a long-distance windrow, the orientation of the clamping jaw assembly 6 is limited by the linkage assembly 8 arranged on the mechanical arm of the embodiment of the application, so that the clamping jaw assembly 6 can grab the target in advance, the front side of the target bears the wind force in the subsequent flying process, and the reverse acting force is exerted on the rear side of the target by the clamping jaw assembly 6, so that the target can be firmly grabbed and moved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the lower arm link 3 swings to the highest position relative to the upper arm link 2, the clamping jaw assembly 6 can swing to the highest position and face outward relative to the lower arm link 3, which is beneficial for the clamping jaw assembly 6 to grip an object upward and outward, i.e., the gripping direction of the clamping jaw assembly 6 when the clamping jaw assembly 6 is displaced to a high position is defined under the condition that no additional driving element is needed, so that the clamping jaw assembly 6 is prevented from mistakenly colliding with an aircraft of the flying robot, and the mechanical arm of the embodiment of the present application has a wide application range, and meanwhile, the clamping jaw assembly 6 can be ensured to have a relatively stable gripping orientation, so that the clamping jaw assembly 6 can grip the; similarly, when the lower arm steering engine 5 drives the lower arm connecting rod 3 to swing downwards relative to the upper arm connecting rod 2, the clamping jaw assembly 6 is controlled to swing upwards relative to the lower arm connecting rod 3 through the linkage assembly 8, and the clamping jaw assembly 6 is facilitated to grab a front target.
In addition, owing to be provided with link assembly 7, can make the connection structure between underarm connecting rod 3 and the clamping jaw subassembly 6 more stable to improve the structural stability of the arm of this application embodiment.
In some preferred embodiments, the linkage assembly 8 includes a first linkage rod 81, a second linkage rod 82, and upper and lower arm connectors 83, the upper and lower arm connectors 83 have more than three shaft ends, one of the shaft ends is rotatably connected to the upper arm link 2 and/or the lower arm link 3, two ends of the first linkage rod 81 are respectively hinged to the connecting assembly 1, the upper and lower arm connectors 83, and two ends of the second linkage rod 82 are respectively hinged to the upper and lower arm connectors 83 and the clamping jaw assembly 6.
More specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the lower arm steering engine 5 drives the lower arm link 3 to swing, the connection end between the upper and lower arm links 83 and the upper arm link 2 and/or the lower arm link 3 can be regarded as a relative fixed point, when the lower arm link 3 swings upward and the upper arm link 2 remains stationary, since the first link 81 is a rod body with a fixed length and is connected to the upper and lower arm links 83 and the gripper assembly 6, the upper and lower arm links 83 are relatively fixed in position, and the second link 82 swings upward, since the hinged ends of the upper arm link 2 and the lower arm link 3 and the hinged ends of the second link 82 and the upper and lower arm links 83 have a certain position difference, according to the quadrilateral characteristic structure, the gripper assembly 6 swings downward, so that the gripping end of the gripper assembly 6 is inclined toward the front, which is beneficial for the gripper assembly 6 to grip an object, thereby ensuring the aerial work of the flying robot, the displacement track of the clamping jaw assembly 6 in the motion process of the mechanical arm can avoid the space where the aircraft is located.
In some preferred embodiments, the upper and lower arm connecting members 83 have three shaft ends, which are triangular connecting members, one shaft end is connected to the upper arm link 2 and/or the lower arm link 3, respectively, and the other two shaft ends are connected to the first linking rod 81 and the second linking rod 82, respectively; specifically, the triangular connecting piece structure has stability, so that the first linkage rod 81 and the second linkage rod 82 can be stably matched in action, meanwhile, the material quantity of the upper arm connecting piece 83 and the lower arm connecting piece 83 is effectively reduced, and the light-weight requirement of the flying robot is met.
Set up triangle-shaped's upper and lower arm connecting piece 83, can separate the mounted position of first trace 81 and second trace 82, in ordinary linkage structure, two traces generally adopt a shaft end to connect, if use this kind of structure in the arm of this application embodiment, at first can influence structural stability, the 6 swing range of clamping jaw subassembly that arouse when secondly can increase the swing of underarm connecting rod 3 increases, when the pendulum is gone up to underarm connecting rod 3 promptly, the bigger angle of clamping jaw subassembly 6 lower pendulum, can reduce the stability in the 6 accommodation process of clamping jaw subassembly, still can lead to clamping jaw subassembly 6 can't snatch the target forward under the specific angle.
In some preferred embodiments, the upper and lower arm connecting members 83, the upper arm connecting rods 2 and the lower arm connecting rods 3 are coaxially connected, that is, the connecting rotating shaft between the upper and lower arm connecting members 83 and the lower arm connecting rods 3 and the connecting rotating shaft between the lower arm connecting rods 3 and the upper arm connecting rods 2 are the same shaft body; by adopting the structure, when the upper arm connecting piece 83 and the lower arm connecting piece swing, the rotating shaft ends of the upper arm connecting piece and the lower arm connecting piece are fixed positions relative to the upper arm connecting rod 2 or the lower arm connecting rod 3, so that the integral structural stability of the mechanical arm is improved; secondly, the upper arm connecting piece 83, the lower arm connecting rod 2 and the lower arm connecting rod 3 are connected by adopting the same shaft body, and the whole weight of the mechanical arm can be reduced, so that the weight requirement of the flying robot is met.
The structure also enables the upper arm connecting rod 2 and the lower arm connecting rod 3 to have motion relevance, so that the overall connecting structure of the mechanical arm is more stable, and the structural stability of the mechanical arm in the embodiment of the application is improved; specifically, as shown in fig. 4, when the upper arm connecting rod 2 is driven by the upper arm steering engine 4 to swing counterclockwise, the first connecting rod 81 is a fixed-length rod body, and the upper and lower arm connecting pieces 83 can swing clockwise according to the quadrilateral structural characteristic that the side length is a fixed value, so as to drive the clamping jaw assembly 6 to swing clockwise relative to the lower arm connecting rod 3, so that when the upper arm connecting rod 2 is lifted, the grabbing end of the clamping jaw assembly 6 is arranged forward, and the target grabbing is facilitated.
In some preferred embodiments, the link assembly 7 includes a first link 71 and a second link 72, two ends of the second link 72 are respectively hinged to one end of the first link 71 and one end of the lower arm link 3, and the other end of the first link 71 is driven to rotate by the lower arm steering gear 5.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the lower arm steering gear 5 drives the first link 71 to swing counterclockwise, so that the height of the second link 72 is lowered, and the second link 72 drives the lower arm link 3 to swing counterclockwise around a hinge shaft between the lower arm link 3 and the upper arm link 2, thereby completing the mechanical arm lifting process; on the contrary, the lower arm steering engine 5 drives the first connecting rod 71 to swing clockwise, so that the swinging process of the mechanical arm can be completed; this structural design makes first steering wheel can keep away from the handing-over axle position between lower arm connecting rod 3 and the upper arm connecting rod 2 for lower arm connecting rod 3 has bigger swing range, and makes in the mountable coupling assembling 1 of lower arm steering wheel 5, makes arm weight more concentrated, reduces the local flight load of aircraft.
In some preferred embodiments, the length of the second link 72 is greater than that of the first link 71, so that the lower arm steering gear 5 can drive the lower arm link 3 to swing in a large range under a small rotation amount; in addition, in the operation process, the upper arm connecting rod 71 swings along the output shaft of the lower arm steering engine 5, the second connecting rod 72 pushes the lower arm connecting rod 3 to swing under the pushing action of the first connecting rod 71, the second connecting rod 72 and the lower arm connecting rod 3 can be approximately seen as a double-rocker structure, and if the center of mass change of the first connecting rod 71 in the motion process is larger than that of the second connecting rod 72 under the same length; correspondingly, the length of the second connecting rod 72 is designed to be larger than that of the first connecting rod 71, in the driving process of the lower arm steering engine 5, the mass center change range of the first connecting rod 71 is smaller, the second connecting rod 72 is in an approximately vertical state, the mass center change has small influence on the change of the whole mass center of the mechanical arm in the horizontal direction, the mechanical arm can swing stably, and the flying robot carrying the mechanical arm can keep balance when the state of the mechanical arm is adjusted.
In some preferred embodiments, the upper arm link 2 and the lower arm link 3 are both two and are symmetrically arranged; the symmetrical structure can ensure that the whole mechanical arm structure has symmetry, thereby improving the structural strength of the whole structure, balancing the load of the mechanical arm on the flying robot and improving the stability during aerial operation; when the flying robot carries the mechanical arm to fly, the mechanical arm is generally adjusted to face the target direction and then flies towards the target direction, the upper arm connecting rod 2 and the lower arm connecting rod 3 which are symmetrically structured can enable the two sides of the mechanical arm to be balanced by the oncoming wind, and the flying robot is prevented from deviating from the preset flying track due to the fact that the mechanical arm deflects to guide the positive wind.
More specifically, two underarm connecting rods 3 pass through connecting rod fixed connection, and two upper arm connecting rods 2 are located the outside of two underarm connecting rods 3 bottoms respectively and are articulated with two underarm connecting rods 3 respectively, and two 2 tops of upper arm connecting rods all articulate with coupling assembling 1, and upper arm steering wheel 4 drives the swing of an upper arm connecting rod 2.
