This leg structure includes thigh, calf and foot end; the whole leg has three groups of hydraulic cylinders with the same structure controlled by servo valves. The side swing of the legs, the front swing of the thigh and the calf can be realized. The robot foot end is a wheel structure, the direction of the wheel can be adjusted arbitrarily, the foot end has a separate power source, and the stepper drive integrated machine is adopted to integrate the drive and control. Together; when traveling on a flat section, the foot-end motor can be used alone to drive the wheel to rotate, making the movement faster and saving energy; when traveling on a bumpy section, hydraulic devices can be used to drive the movement of the upper and lower legs to help The robot achieves obstacle surmounting.
如图2所示,韩国现代汽车公司的极限机动车Elevate的测试版样机,同样把轮子布置在小腿的末端,该方式是目前绝大多数轮足式机器人所采用的方案。As shown in Figure 2, the test version of Hyundai Motor’s extreme motor vehicle Elevate also has wheels on the ends of the lower legs. This method is currently adopted by most wheel-footed robots.
如图3所示,中国实用新型专利CN208007139U公开了一种多适应性轮足切换移动平台,车轮布置在膝关节处,当小腿与竖直轴夹角较小时,机器人采用足式行走方式,当小腿与竖直轴夹角较大时,小腿抬起,车轮与地面接触,机器人采用轮足式移动方式,此时小腿需保持不与地面接触,需有姿态保持装置或驱动装置。As shown in Figure 3, Chinese utility model patent CN208007139U discloses a multi-adaptive wheel-foot-switching mobile platform. The wheels are arranged at the knee joint. When the angle between the calf and the vertical axis is small, the robot adopts a foot-style walking mode. When the angle between the calf and the vertical axis is large, the calf is lifted and the wheels are in contact with the ground. The robot adopts wheel-footed movement. At this time, the calf must be kept out of contact with the ground, and a posture maintaining device or driving device is required.
如图4所示,瑞士苏黎世理工学院研制的ANYmal,该样机在上一代腿足式样机的足端安装了滚轮。髋关节的侧摆、前摆以及膝关节的前摆仍保留了典型的串联关节式结构,即每个电机的输出轴与相应的关节转轴同轴。相比腿足式结构,轮足式结构往往需要增加一个驱动器用于对滚轮的驱动,所以轮足式结构会更加复杂,所以也有很多相似发明专利仅采用了腿足式结构。As shown in Figure 4, ANYmal developed by the Zurich Institute of Technology in Switzerland, this prototype is equipped with rollers on the foot end of the previous generation of leg and foot prototype. The lateral swing, forward swing of the hip joint and the forward swing of the knee joint still retain the typical tandem articulated structure, that is, the output shaft of each motor is coaxial with the corresponding joint shaft. Compared with the leg-foot structure, the wheel-foot structure often needs to add a driver to drive the rollers, so the wheel-foot structure will be more complicated, so there are many similar invention patents that only use the leg-foot structure.
如图5所示,图5(a)是浙江大学研制的机器狗“绝影”,由图5(b)可知其髋关节的前摆和侧摆利用了差速机构,控制电机13和22的转速,即可同时实现大腿的侧摆和前摆;从图5(c)可看出其膝关节的前摆驱动电机布置在大腿内部,并利用啮合的锥齿轮实现膝关节的前摆。As shown in Figure 5, Figure 5(a) is the robot dog "Juying" developed by Zhejiang University. It can be seen from Figure 5(b) that the forward and side swing of the hip joint uses a differential mechanism to control motors 13 and 22. It can be seen from Figure 5(c) that the front swing drive motor of the knee joint is arranged inside the thigh, and the front swing of the knee joint is realized by the meshing bevel gear.
如图6所示,图6(a)是宇树科技公司研制的机器狗“莱卡”,由图6(b)可看出其也采用了串联关节式结构,侧摆电机带动大、小腿一同侧摆,由图6(c)可知电机4驱动髋关节前摆,电机3驱动膝关节前摆,具体方式为:电机3减速器的法兰带动长杆6摆动,进而 实现铰接在膝关节上的短杆旋转,即利用四连杆机构实现了运动的传递。As shown in Figure 6, Figure 6(a) is the robot dog "Lycra" developed by Yushu Technology Co., Ltd. It can be seen from Figure 6(b) that it also uses a series joint structure, and the side swing motor drives the large and lower legs together. Side swing, it can be seen from Figure 6(c) that the motor 4 drives the hip joint forward swing, and the motor 3 drives the knee joint forward swing. The specific method is: the flange of the motor 3 reducer drives the long rod 6 to swing, and then realizes the articulation on the knee joint. The short rod rotation, that is, the use of four-bar linkage mechanism to achieve the transmission of motion.
如图7所示,美国波士顿动力公司研制的机器狗SpotMini,由图7(a)可看出其也采用了串联关节式结构,侧摆电机带动大小腿一同侧摆,与莱卡不同的是,由图7(b)可见Spot采用丝杠螺母机构来驱动膝关节的摆动。As shown in Figure 7, the robot dog SpotMini developed by Boston Dynamics in the United States, as shown in Figure 7(a), also adopts a series articulated structure. The side swing motor drives the upper and lower legs to swing side by side. The difference is that it is different from the Lycra. It can be seen from Figure 7(b) that Spot uses a screw-nut mechanism to drive the knee joint to swing.
如图8所示,图8(a)是日本索尼公司研制的深受用户喜爱的机器狗Aibo,由图8(b)和图8(c)可看出其主要特点在于大小腿采用了欠驱动式机构,即前摆法兰转动时带动与两连杆铰接的膝关节平动,以改变足端的位置。弹簧则用以防止膝关节“反向打弯”。As shown in Figure 8, Figure 8(a) is a robot dog Aibo developed by Sony, which is well-loved by users. From Figure 8(b) and Figure 8(c), it can be seen that its main feature is that the upper and lower legs adopt the The driving mechanism, that is, when the front swing flange rotates, it drives the knee joint hinged with the two connecting rods to move in translation to change the position of the foot end. The spring is used to prevent "reverse bending" of the knee joint.
毫无疑问,轮足式结构功能更全,具有更好的应用前景,但往往轮足式结构更加复杂,设计难度大。把车轮布置在足端是最常见也是最简单的轮足式腿结构的设计方案,但缺点是车轮需要独立的驱动器,会导致控制更加复杂,也会导致腿结构质量增大,即电机的负载增大,能耗加大,且机器人整体的驱动器数量有所增加,导致控制也会更加复杂,且当车轮抱闸异常时,会导致行走中的机器人打滑或者摔倒。Undoubtedly, the wheel-foot structure has more complete functions and better application prospects, but the wheel-foot structure is often more complicated and difficult to design. Arranging the wheel on the end of the foot is the most common and simplest design scheme for the wheel-footed leg structure, but the disadvantage is that the wheel requires an independent driver, which will lead to more complicated control and increase the weight of the leg structure, that is, the load of the motor. Increased energy consumption will increase, and the overall number of drivers of the robot will increase, resulting in more complicated control, and when the wheel brake is abnormal, it will cause the walking robot to slip or fall.
把车轮布置在膝关节也存在一些不足:首先会导致腿结构质量增大,机器人移动时会加大能耗;其次在机器人采用轮式移动方式时,小腿需保持一定的位姿,需要额外的位姿保持机构或驱动机构,导致腿结构更加复杂,降低可靠性。There are also some shortcomings in arranging the wheels on the knee joints: firstly, it will increase the weight of the leg structure and increase the energy consumption when the robot moves; secondly, when the robot adopts wheeled movement, the calf needs to maintain a certain posture, which requires additional The posture maintaining mechanism or the driving mechanism causes the leg structure to be more complicated and reduce the reliability.
串联关节式的腿足式结构是最常见也是最简单的移动机器人腿结构,具有便于设计、关节转角大等优点,但缺点是相比并联式结构,串联式结构刚度较差;其次串联式结构的电机需布置在腿上,会加大相应驱动模块的负载,增大能耗,还会导致腿结构较复杂,可靠性也会降低。The series articulated leg-foot structure is the most common and simplest mobile robot leg structure. It has the advantages of easy design and large joint rotation angle, but the disadvantage is that compared with the parallel structure, the series structure has poor rigidity; secondly, the series structure The motor needs to be arranged on the leg, which will increase the load of the corresponding drive module, increase the energy consumption, and cause the leg structure to be more complicated and the reliability will also be reduced.

实施例2:如图17-21,本实施例与实施例1的区别在于:大腿前摆减速器法兰105外侧还固定有扇形齿轮308,被动平行轴齿轮302为非完整被动平行轴齿轮302,该非完整是指部分外圆周面上没有齿形设置。当从足式移动变换为轮式移动时,首先使侧摆角度为零,大、小腿由直立姿态开始向上翻转,大腿前摆转速与小腿前摆转速相等,扇形齿轮308与被动平行轴齿轮302逐渐啮合,由于被动平行轴齿轮302为非完整齿轮,同时主动平行轴齿轮301与被动平行轴齿轮302逐渐脱离,此时小腿逐渐离地,大腿停止前摆,小腿也不再转动,滚轮6触地继续随主动平行轴齿轮301转动,机器人进入轮式移动方式,由轮式移动方式再次转换为足式移动方式时,前述过程相反。设置扇形齿轮308和非完整被动平行轴齿轮302,可使得轮式移动时,被动平行轴齿轮302因不再与主动平行轴齿轮301啮合,所以小腿模块3停止转动。Embodiment 2: As shown in Figures 17-21, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is: a sector gear 308 is also fixed outside the flange 105 of the thigh forward swing reducer, and the passive parallel shaft gear 302 is an incomplete passive parallel shaft gear 302 , The incomplete means that there is no tooth-shaped arrangement on part of the outer circumferential surface. When changing from foot-type movement to wheel-type movement, first make the side swing angle zero, and the upper and lower legs start to turn upwards from the upright posture. The rotation speed of the front swing of the thigh is equal to the rotation speed of the front swing of the lower leg. Gradually meshing, because the passive parallel shaft gear 302 is an incomplete gear, and the active parallel shaft gear 301 is gradually separated from the passive parallel shaft gear 302. At this time, the lower leg gradually lifts off the ground, the thigh stops swinging forward, and the lower leg no longer rotates. The ground continues to rotate with the active parallel axis gear 301, and the robot enters the wheeled movement mode, and when the wheeled movement mode is converted to the footed movement mode again, the foregoing process is reversed. The sector gear 308 and the incomplete passive parallel shaft gear 302 are provided so that when the wheel moves, the passive parallel shaft gear 302 no longer meshes with the active parallel shaft gear 301, so the calf module 3 stops rotating.

实施例5:本实施例与前面两个实施例的区别在于:将滚轮6替换为麦克纳姆轮或全向 轮,此时在轮式移动时可实现全向移动。Embodiment 5: The difference between this embodiment and the previous two embodiments is that the roller 6 is replaced with a mecanum wheel or an omnidirectional wheel, and the omnidirectional movement can be realized when the wheel is moved.
实施例6:本实施例与前面两个实施例的区别在于:用平面四连杆机构或链轮传动机构替换通过带传动的传动方式实现小腿前摆的驱动。Embodiment 6: The difference between this embodiment and the previous two embodiments is that a flat four-bar linkage mechanism or a sprocket transmission mechanism is used instead of a belt drive to drive the front swing of the calf.
