Motor integrating connection and movement functions and modularized robot applying motor

Abstract

The invention discloses a motor integrating connection and movement functions and a modularized robot applying the motor. The motor disclosed by the invention has the characteristic of having the connection function and the movement function simultaneously, in the original modularized robot system, two sets of functional systems including a movement system and a connection system are required simultaneously, but all functions can be realized by only adopting one set of system of the invention. The motor is very energy-saving, and the connection is realized by magnetic fields of an aluminum-nickel-cobalt alloy magnet and a neodymium-iron-boron alloy magnet; during the movement, only a pulse current with very small energy consumption needs to be provided when the motor moves every time, then a magnetic field direction of the aluminum-nickel-cobalt alloy magnet is changed, and the movement is realized by means of the action of a magnetic field force. The modularized robot disclosed by the invention can form a complete modularized robot platform, and is used for carrying other sensors or actuators to finish a specific task. Meanwhile, since the manufacturing is simple, the modularized robot can also be used for researching of related movement and control algorithms of the modularized robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of motor drive for robots, in particular to a novel electronically controlled permanent magnet motor which can be used for modular robots and has connection and movement functions. Background technique [0002] A modular robot is a robot that can change its configuration according to different tasks or different working environments. It is composed of multiple independent basic modules with certain movement and perception capabilities. It can be connected and disconnected through the modules. Manipulation enables configuration changes to adapt to different task requirements or to complete specific movements. Connection ability and movement ability are the two most important functions of the basic module, and they often exist independently and are realized by different components. The miniaturization, energy saving and simplification of modular robot connection system and motion system have always been the focus of re...

Problems solved by technology

However, these two connection methods have their own defects. For example, the electromagnet needs continuous power supply and has extremely high energy requirements.

The mechanical lock structure is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and the response speed is slow
