In another embodiment, the physical connection relationship of the three motors is as shown in fig. 6, the calf motor second line 3h of the calf motor 3a penetrates through the hollow part of the thigh motor 2a and is led out, so that the condition that the calf motor second line 3h of the calf motor 3a is exposed is avoided, the safety factor of the whole machine is improved, the calf motor second line 3h penetrates through the thigh motor 2a and is simultaneously connected to the circuit board of the thigh motor 2a, a power supply and a communication loop are simultaneously provided for the thigh motor 2a and the calf motor 3a, the thigh motor second line 2h and the side swing motor second line 1h are both located in the machine body, and the safety is relatively high under the protection of the outer shell. The side swing motor 1a and the lower leg motor 3a have the motor structures shown in fig. 7, and the upper leg motor 2a has a hollow motor structure shown in fig. 8.
Although the sole force can be indirectly obtained by monitoring the current of each motor, the sole force can also be directly obtained according to a pressure sensor 1g placed on the sole, and the sole force can be transmitted to the pressure sensor 1g of the sole from a machine body, wired energy and wireless signal transmission can be adopted for use, wherein, the wiring-free sole force detection needs to solve the problems of no-connection energy supply and no-connection signal transmission, the signal transmission can adopt the prior radio frequency technology and is directly transmitted to a host machine, the wiring-free energy supply can be realized, the leg movement energy regeneration can be used, the wiring from the machine body to the sole is avoided, and the power supply of a sole circuit can realize the following scheme, and the energy generated in the compression process of the sole can be recovered according to the mechanical energy generated in the rotation process; and half wiring scheme, the use of the bearing, the necessary power supply and signal transmission can adopt as shown in figure 10, the routing runs through the shank position of thigh, see the movement at the joint position from figure 10, will cause the routing to buckle, whether routing expose and embed will have the damage caused by bending fatigue, the method to solve this problem, namely break off at the first sensor power supply inlet 4g, adopt two sections of routing, adopt wireless energy transmission and wireless signal transmission between them, carry on the non-contact transmission of energy and information, thus has avoided the folding of routing of the first sensor power supply inlet 4g, divide the routing into two sections, connect through the non-contact coil, the routing also needs to connect to the first connecting wire 2.j from shank motor 3a, therefore can optimize to the first sensor power supply inlet 4g to cancel, after the first sensor power supply inlet 4g cancels, the robot can not be powered by a battery in the robot body any more, the generation source of sole power supply needs to be considered, and a mode of converting mechanical energy generated by the motion of the lower leg 5a around the thigh into electric energy can be used, wherein the embodiment is shown in fig. 12, 4j is a magnet array, 5j is an induction coil, the two parts can convert the mechanical energy of the leg into electric energy to be supplied to a sole force sensor when the lower leg moves, so that the power supply problem is solved, the signal transmission of the sole force sensor can be completed by the transmission of a radio frequency transceiving circuit on a sole circuit board and a radio frequency transceiving circuit placed in the robot, and circuits such as a CPU (central processing unit) and a radio frequency transceiving circuit are arranged in a circuit of a sensor circuit board 2 g.
As shown in fig. 7, the stator support 1c is located inside the housing of the stator, and has stator coil windings 4c, the motor windings are controlled by the built-in motor driving circuit board 6c, the motor driving board has a stator core winding and a rotor magnet, wherein the motor angle measuring polarized magnet 22c on the rotor support 29c of the rotor magnet carrying part and the motor angle measuring hall IC23c can determine the relative position between the rotor and the stator and inform the motor driving CPU27c of the present electrical angle between the rotor and the stator of the motor, so that the motor driving board controls the motor to rotate correctly according to the basic information, wherein the motor angle measuring hall IC23c not only obtains the relative position between the stator and the rotor of the motor, but also obtains the absolute angle information of the whole rotor part within 360 degrees of one rotation of the motor. The absolute angle information of the motor is matched with a second Hall angle detection element to finish the mechanical angle absolute information of the flange plate after speed reduction. The moment after the motor rotates correctly passes through a basic primary planetary reduction unit consisting of the sun gear 10c, the planet gear 15c and the planetary reduction ring gear 21c, and the reduced planet carrier unit also serving as the output flange 14c is output. And outputs the rotational torque to the next stage through the planet shaft cum output pin 17 c. The output pin 20d can be just inserted into the cascade hole 21d of the next stage to transmit the torque to the next stage, the magnet 25c is fed back after deceleration on the planet carrier rigidly connected with the flange plate, the position information of the flange plate penetrates through the aluminum alloy rotor bracket by the magnetic force line, the position information is fed back on the second angle linear Hall element 24c and the annular Hall array PCB9c after deceleration, and the information is fed back to the driving CPU to synthesize the second Hall array plate and the information on the absolute angle encoder, and calculate the accurate absolute position of the flange plate. Because two sets of magnetic encoders all have the characteristic of being afraid of falling the electricity, and need not to keep the rotation angle information of motor with the backup battery power supply, very big improvement the practicality and the security of motor.
The reduction gear set is of a two-stage planetary structure, so that the sun gear can be thicker under the condition of the same speed ratio. The sun gear is in the geometric center position of the motor in design. The thicker sun gear allows the sun gear to be hollow, as in fig. 8, which would allow the next stage power unit, power and signal transmission therethrough. The condition that the wiring is exposed is solved. The working principle of the power unit is basically similar, and the following description is simply given, because of the hollow design requirement, all the components and the circuit board on the central axis of the power unit are determined to be in the hollow design. Thigh motor stator coil 15d is fixed on the inner support that is connected with the casing, and thigh motor stator coil 15 d's three-phase winding is controlled by FOC drive plate 8d, and FOC drive plate 8d is for can normally passing through FOC's classic mode control, needs to know the absolute position of stator and rotor. So as to be convenient for magnetic field vector synthesis control, the motor end encoder annular encoding disk 10d is an absolute position encoding ring fixed on the thigh motor rotor bracket 13d, the motor end encoder annular encoding disk 10d is an encoder reading head indirectly fixed on the shell, the motor end encoder reading head 9d and the motor end encoder annular encoding disk 10d are both absolute encoder components with hollow annular structures, and complete reading of the absolute 0-360-degree electromechanical positions of the rotor and the stator in cooperation, so as to provide necessary conditions for the driving plate to correctly drive the three-phase brushless servo motor, the design is double-stage speed reduction, the two-stage speed reduction ratio is the same, an outer gear ring can be shared, the sun gear and the planet gear are the same, the cost and the process are reduced, the first thigh motor sun gear 3d is fixed on the thigh motor rotor bracket 13d, the first thigh motor sun gear 3d, the second thigh motor planet gear 6d and the planet gear 7d of the planet reducer, the first-stage planetary reduction is formed, the output torque after reduction is carried by a second thigh motor sun gear 4d, the second thigh motor sun gear 4d, a first thigh motor planet gear 5d and a planet gear reducer outer gear ring 7d form a second-stage reduction structure, the output disc 17d and an output pin 20d of the second-stage planetary reducer are finally output to the reduction structure after reduction, the basic functions of the power unit from the motor to the reduction gear are completed, a single-circle absolute position drive CPU of a motor stator rotor can be obtained at any time, only the angle of the motor end from 0-360 degrees can be represented and the mechanical angle of a flange plate cannot be represented due to the physical characteristic determination of a single-circle encoder, and the reduction machine is used for reducing the speed by 9 times in the middle, so that the input of the motor end and the output of the flange plate have fixed reduction ratios, and only the rotating position and the number of turns of the motor end need to be remembered, the angle of the flange plate can be obtained by dividing the angle by the reduction ratio, the traditional design is the design, the defect exists, and after the power is cut off, the information of the number of turns can be lost. Although a backup battery can be used to remember the number of turns, the circuit design difficulty is increased, more importantly, the battery life and the battery light, and the number of turns will be lost or inaccurate after interference. There is a great hidden trouble. The joint design provides a solution, only an annular Hall array plate needs to be placed on the opposite side of the motor, and a magnet is placed on the side, so that the relative scale position of the flange plate relative to the shell can be obtained. The rough scale position can be matched with an annular encoder at the motor end to obtain accurate flange plate end angle information. The basic principle is briefly described as follows: the motor end encoder is equivalent to a second hand of a clock, and a second Hall encoding ring connected to the flange plate after fixed speed reduction is equivalent to a clock hand of the clock. Every time the motor end encoder rotates the number of reduction ratio circles, for example, 9 here, the magnetic line position that the second encoder sensed changes 1 interval, reads the interval (similar to minute hand) that the magnet located on the second encoder, and the reading (second hand) of the motor end is added, just can acquire the final accurate mechanical position of output ring flange.
