Description

Low-energy-consumption robot joint quick locking device and using method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of robot joint brakes, and particularly relates to a low-energy-consumption robot joint quick locking device and a using method thereof.
Background
With the development of robot technology, robots are widely used in various industries, such as medical treatment, entertainment, military, aerospace, and the like. The common problem of the robot in the use process is sudden power failure, and the state of the robot after power failure needs to be processed. For example, the robot for high-altitude operation has high danger coefficient and great difficulty in the working environment of high-altitude operation, more than 40 percent of manual high-altitude operations are replaced by the robot at present, and the robot is applied to various high-altitude environments such as emergency rescue, safety inspection, building construction, rock climbing exploration and the like. If there is no corresponding handling solution after power off, the manipulator for gripping the fixture is unpowered and the robot in high air may fall off. After the power is lost, the posture of the robot is quickly kept, the safety of the robot can be guaranteed, and the robot is prevented from being damaged. The industrial manufacturing process has high repeatability and high working strength, most of the existing industrial manufacturing is mechanized, and the sales volume of industrial robots in the global range keeps an increase rate of more than 16 percent in recent years. Some industrial robots are prone to being heavy, and the postures of the industrial robots are rapidly kept after power failure, so that accidents and serious economic losses can be prevented.
The existing braking scheme comprises a mechanical brake scheme, an electromagnetic brake scheme, a novel material scheme, a novel structure braking scheme and the like. The mechanical brake prevents the rotation or the rotation trend of the transmission shaft by utilizing the mutual friction between the non-rotating element connected with the joint of the robot and the rotating element connected with the transmission shaft, and has the advantages of convenient and flexible operation and generally low cost. However, since the friction braking mode is adopted, most mechanical brake parts are worn, rusted, blocked and the like after being used for a long time, and the stability and the safety are reduced. The electromagnetic brake mainly controls current through a variable resistor so as to change the magnitude of braking torque or adjust the opening and closing of the brake, and electromagnetic damping force is generated to enable the brake to provide braking according to requirements. The method does not rely on friction force, is suitable for long-time braking, is not easy to cause overheating or performance degradation of mechanical parts, and has the advantages of simple operation, sensitive response, long service life and the like. But it requires a dedicated power supply for control and the braking parts are vulnerable. Novel material schemes such as electroactive polymer (DEAP) are proposed, and when different excitation voltages are input, DEAP films generate different strains. The DEAP can be designed into a structure, and when the machine is electrified, the DEAP generates deformation and does not block the joint movement; when power is lost, DEAP deformation is recovered, and mechanical braking is generated. The method has the advantages of good deformation retention performance, no energy loss, large strain, high energy density, high response speed and the like. But the new materials are not readily available and are not readily structurally designed. The novel structure braking scheme mainly relies on a novel self-locking principle or a bionic principle and utilizes a special mechanical structure to brake. The method has simple structure, low cost and strong bearing capacity, but the self-locking brake is limited to be integral and can not be applied to joints. The existing braking scheme needs to consume power in the locking process and the unlocking process, and also needs to continuously consume power when the robot is in normal work or a locking state, so that unnecessary power consumption is caused.

The two semiconductor refrigerating pieces are respectively attached to two opposite side faces of the locking cavity shell, and the temperature sensor is attached between the semiconductor refrigerating pieces and the locking cavity shell.
A use method of a low-energy-consumption robot joint quick locking device comprises the following steps:
take the locking device powered by the robot's own power supply as an example.
Setting the lower limit threshold electric quantity of the robot: the remaining electric quantity of the robot is not large but enough to complete one-time locking, and a certain electric quantity value meeting the condition is set as a lower limit threshold electric quantity.
When the robot joint is in a normal working state and can freely move, the spring is in a natural state, and a gap is reserved between one end of the locking rod, which is close to the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft of the robot joint is locked, the locking rod props against the rotating shaft and locks the rotating shaft, and the spring is in a state of being compressed to the minimum. The method can realize stepless locking, can lock the rotating shaft at any position, only the locking process and the unlocking process of the robot joint need to consume electricity, and when the robot joint is in a state of keeping normal free movement and the rotating shaft of the robot joint is in a locked state, the coil and the semiconductor refrigerating sheet do not need to be powered, so that the energy loss caused by continuous power supply for maintaining the locking state and the unlocking state is avoided.
When the condition that the robot electric quantity is lower than the lower limit threshold electric quantity and the joint posture needs to be locked is detected, the rotating shaft stops rotating and the rotating shaft state at the moment is kept. Then the semiconductor refrigerating piece is electrified with forward current, and the side of the semiconductor refrigerating piece, which is contacted with the locking cavity shell, heats the locking cavity shell. The temperature of the hot melt adhesive in the locking cavity shell is rapidly increased, and after the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is higher than a certain temperature value T1 (preferably, T1 is 2 ℃) of the melting point of the hot melt adhesive, the coil is electrified with direct current. The inner cavity of the coil generates a magnetic field, the magnetic field enables the ferromagnetic material part of the locking rod to be subjected to magnetic field force from the axial center of the coil to the rotating shaft, the locking rod moves towards the direction close to the rotating shaft, and meanwhile, the spring is compressed. When one end of the locking rod, which is made of ferromagnetic material and is close to the rotating shaft, reaches the middle of the coil (namely the middle of the plastic framework), the locking rod abuts against the rotating shaft, and the magnetic field force is just the largest at the moment. The spring is now in a state of compression to a minimum. And then, the semiconductor refrigerating piece is electrified with reverse current, and the side, in contact with the locking cavity shell, of the semiconductor refrigerating piece refrigerates to forcibly cool the locking cavity shell. The temperature of the hot melt adhesive in the locking cavity shell is rapidly reduced, and after the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is lower than the melting point of the hot melt adhesive by a certain temperature value T2 (preferably, T2 is 5 ℃), the semiconductor refrigerating sheet stops working. The coil is then de-energized. At the moment, the hot melt adhesive is solidified to fix the locking rod, and the locking rod props against the rotating shaft and locks the rotating shaft. Then, the rotation driving control of the rotation shaft is stopped, and the robot joint maintains the rotation shaft state by the lock mechanism.
When the electric quantity of the robot returns to normal and the robot needs to be unlocked, the motor applies a certain torque to the rotating shaft to keep the rotating shaft state, and the robot can be kept in an original state after the locking is released. Then, the semiconductor refrigerating piece is electrified with forward current, and the side of the semiconductor refrigerating piece, which is in contact with the locking cavity shell, heats the locking cavity shell. The temperature of hot melt adhesive in the locking cavity shell is rapidly increased, the locking rod can freely move after the hot melt adhesive is melted, and the locking rod moves away from the rotating shaft along the axis of the coil under the action of the elastic force of the spring. And after the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is higher than the melting point of the hot melt adhesive by a certain temperature value T3 (preferably, T3 is 2 ℃), the semiconductor refrigerating sheet is continuously heated for a certain time H (preferably, H is 2 seconds), and then the power is cut off. At the moment, the spring rebounds naturally, the spring drives the locking rod to move towards the direction far away from the rotating shaft of the robot joint, and finally the rotating shaft of the robot joint can rotate freely.
In the above, the locking device uses the power supply of the robot itself as an example, and the locking device may also use the standby power supply for power supply. The locking device is powered by a standby power supply, and the lower limit threshold electric quantity of the robot is also required to be set. When the fact that the robot needs to lock the joint posture when the electric quantity is detected to be lower than the lower limit threshold value, the locking device uses the standby power supply to complete locking. When the electric quantity of the robot returns to normal and the robot needs to be unlocked, the locking device uses the standby power supply to complete unlocking.
The axis of the locking rod of the locking device is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft, the axis of the locking rod can also be perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft, and the locking rod props against the side face of the rotating shaft after extending out to lock the rotating shaft.
When the locking rod of the locking device extends out, the spring is compressed, and when the robot joint is unlocked, the locking rod is retracted by means of the elasticity of the spring. The position of the spring can also be changed, the spring is stretched when the locking rod extends out, and the locking rod is retracted by the tension of the spring when the robot joint is unlocked.
The locking mechanism described above uses electromagnetic force to extend the locking lever and spring force to retract the locking lever. The locking lever and spring position can also be changed, the spring force is used to extend the locking lever, and the electromagnetic force retracts the locking lever. In this embodiment, the length of the part of the locking rod made of ferromagnetic material is not greater than the length of the cavity of the plastic skeleton, and when the robot joint is free to move, the part of the locking rod made of ferromagnetic material is located in the cavity of the plastic skeleton on the side close to the rotating shaft (preferably, the part made of ferromagnetic material is located in the middle part of the cavity of the plastic skeleton); when the robot joint is locked, the locking rod moves towards the rotating shaft direction under the action of the spring and props against the rotating shaft, and one part of the part, far away from the rotating shaft, of the locking rod made of ferromagnetic materials is located in the plastic framework cavity. When the robot joint can move freely, the spring is in a stretching state, and the locking rod stretches out by virtue of the tension of the spring; the position of the spring can be changed, so that the spring is in a compressed state when the robot joint can move freely, and the locking rod extends out by means of the elasticity of the spring.
