Flexible charging robot based on rope driving

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of flexible robots, and discloses a flexible charging robot based on rope driving. The flexible charging robot comprises a plurality of control ropes, a rope driving device, a flexible mechanical arm and an end executor; the control ropes can be driven by the rope driving device to telescope to drive the flexible mechanical arm to bend, and then the end executor installed at the tail end of the flexible mechanical arm is driven to move. According to the flexible charging robot based on rope driving, the charging robot is formed by combining the flexible mechanical arm with a charging head, can adapt to a garage environment which has a narrow working space and many obstacles by combining free bending motion of the flexible mechanical arm and is small in size, low in weight, flexible to move and low in control cost; meanwhile, a motor and a control circuit are far away from the end executor, therefore, the flexible charging robot is not liable to be affected by an outside environment, and the service life of the robot can be guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to the field of soft robots, in particular to a soft robot used for charging cars. Background technique [0002] According to statistics from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, in 2015, the overall production and sales of automobiles grew steadily, exceeding 24.5 million vehicles, a record high in the world, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years. Correspondingly, there is a gap of at least 50 million parking spaces in my country, and the problem of difficult parking is intensifying. The development of three-dimensional garages with high space utilization is imminent. At the same time, with the explosive growth of the new energy vehicle market, China has become the world's largest new energy vehicle market. According to the "New Energy Vehicle Blue Book: China's New Energy Vehicle Industry Development Report (2016 )” shows that in 2015, the output of new energy ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, the commonly used robotic arms are composed of multiple rigid discrete joints. Each joint needs to be equipped with an independent drive device, which is bulky and heavy, and the control cost is high. The movement is relatively inflexible, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of the charging head in a narrow space. Movement requirements; at the same time, the motor and control circuit are close to the end effector, which is easily affected by the external environment, which is not conducive to ensuring the service life of the robot
