Abstract

The invention discloses a two-state variable stiffness compliant joint and an operation method thereof. The joint is composed of an input shaft, an output outer ring and a stiffness adjustment mechanism. The input shaft is placed at the center of rotation of the output outer ring and is firmly connected to the input disc; two elastic reeds are installed between the input disc and the output outer ring, one end of each elastic reed is connected to the output outer ring through a bearing, and the other end is connected to the output outer ring. The small bevel gear shaft is fixedly connected, and the small bevel gear shaft is connected to the input plate through bearings; the stiffness adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to the large bevel gear through the stiffness adjustment motor; the large bevel gear is connected to two small bevel gears that are fixedly connected to the elastic reed engage. The invention has good impact resistance and flexible dynamic characteristics, belongs to active variable stiffness compliant joints, and can be used for joints and drivers of various robots such as bionics, service and rehabilitation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to a two-state variable stiffness compliant joint and an operation method. Background technique [0002] With the development of robot technology, the collaborative work of multiple robots and the interaction between robots and humans are becoming more and more common in terms of flexibility. Robots have been applied from traditional fields to other non-industrial fields, especially the rise of bionic robots, service robots and rehabilitation robots, forcing the robot joints to have a certain degree of compliance to ensure the improvement of energy utilization and improve the safety of human-computer interaction Assure. [0003] From the perspective of the overall structure of the robot, the robot joints are the key components for the robot to achieve various target movements. Rigid joints and elastic joints are mainly used in the existing robot technology. There are r...
