Description

Six Degrees of Freedom Parallel Mechanism
The present invention relates to parallel mechanisms and in particular to a six degrees of freedom parallel mechanism that can provide quick and precise manipulation capabilities.
There is always a demand for increasing speed and accuracy of industrial robots. Parallel mechanisms have been a good candidate for development of fast industrial robots. In a conventional parallel mechanism, a moving bracket is connected to a base portion through a plurality of linkages. The actuators of a parallel mechanism can be located on the stationary base portion. Since the actuators are not placed on the linkage joints. The mass of the moving parts of the mechanism can be lowered resulting in high speed of movement.
The earliest parallel mechanisms included six parallel linkages with linear actuators that could position a bracket with six degrees of freedom. Later, more variations of parallel mechanisms have been developed that include rotary actuators and comprise three or more parallel linkages.
Lowering the number of parallel linkages not only reduces the problems of interference or collision of linkages, but also decreases the mass of the moving parts. This allows faster movements. However, by decreasing the number of linkages, also the number of degrees of freedom of the mechanism reduces. This results in less dexterity of the robot. While three or four degrees of freedom are enough for most of pick and place tasks, there are many applications that require more dexterity.
There have been solutions for increasing the dexterity of the robot for example by providing additional degrees of freedoms through adding additional motors on the moving bracket or by adding a rotating shaft to transfer additional rotation to the end effector or by adding additional mechanisms to the main configuration of the parallel mechanism.
The present invention provides a solution for attaining dexterity of full six degrees of freedom in a parallel mechanism with only at least three linkages. In this regard, both advantages of a reduced number of linkages and higher dexterity of the robot based on this mechanism are achieved.
The present invention provides a parallel mechanism comprising only three or more parallel linkages which enables positioning of a bracket with six degrees of freedom. Therefore, the mechanism provides high dexterity by enabling six degrees of freedom positioning of the bracket. Since the number of linkages can be lowered down to three linkages, the mechanism provides the advantages of low number of linkages including less conflict of the linkages and faster movement due to less mass of moving parts. In this way the mechanism provides both the advantages of reducing the number of linkages and dexterity of six degrees of freedom mechanisms.
The parallel mechanism consists of a fixed portion, a moving bracket, a plurality of at least three linkages each comprising two arms connected to each other through a plurality of universal joints. The plurality of linkages are connected to the fixed portion through a plurality of double perpendicular axes revolute joints. The other side of the plurality of the linkages are connected to the moving bracket through double perpendicular revolute joints or a universal joint.
Rotary actuators can be connected to the revolute joints on the fixed portion. The embodiment enables positioning of the bracket with three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom with respect to the fixed portion. A key difference between the present invention and conventional parallel mechanisms is that here each linkage possesses two rotatory actuators. Two motors can be connected to each linkage at the fixed portion that insert not only a rotational but also a torsional torque on each linkage. As a result, a sum of only three linkages is enough for providing six degrees of freedom.
These and other aspects of the embodiments herein will be better understood when considered in conjunction with the following description and the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the following descriptions, while indicating preferred embodiments and numerous specific details thereof, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation. Changes and modifications may be made within the scope of the embodiments herein without departing from the spirit thereof, and the embodiments herein include all such modifications.
Lowering the number of parallel linkages not only reduces the problems of interference or collision of linkages, but also decreases the mass of the moving parts. This allows faster movements. However, by decreasing the number of linkages in conventional parallel mechanisms, also the number of degrees of freedom of the mechanism reduces. This results in less dexterity of the robot. While three or four degrees of freedom are enough for most of pick and place tasks, there are many applications that require more dexterity.
The present invention provides a solution for attaining dexterity of full six degrees of freedom in a parallel mechanism with only at least three linkages. In this regard, both advantages of a reduced number of linkages and higher dexterity of the robot based on this mechanism are achieved.

In the following detailed description, a reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part thereof, and in which the specific embodiments that may be practiced are shown by way of illustration. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail in order to enable those skilled in the art to practice the embodiments and it is to be understood that the mechanical, logical or other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the embodiments. Therefore, the following detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense.
The various embodiments herein provide a parallel mechanism which allows positioning and moving a bracket with respect to a fixed portion hereinafter called base portion. A description of the embodiments is presented here with respect to the drawings of figures. In order to simplify the description, the same numbers are assigned to the components of embodiments in all figures.
The parallel mechanism consists of a fixed portion, a moving bracket, a plurality of at least three linkages each comprising two arms connected to each other through a plurality of universal joints. The plurality of linkages are connected to the fixed portion through a plurality of double perpendicular axes revolute joints. The other side of the plurality of the linkages are connected to the moving bracket through double perpendicular revolute joints or a universal joint.
As shown in Fig.1 and Fig. 2 a fixed base portion 11, is connected through rotary joints 12 and 13 to at least three linkages. The rotation axes of each pair of joints 12 and 13 of are configured perpendicular to each other. Each linkage comprises two arms, upper arm 14 and lower arm 16, which are connected to each other through a universal joint 15. The universal joint 15 can be a Cardan joint or Persian joint or other types of universal joint that allow transferring torsional rotations as well as the joint forces from upper arm 14 to lower arm 16. Each of lower arms 16 is connected through a universal joint 17 to the moving bracket 18. The universal joint 17 can be a Cardan joint or Persian joint or double revolute joints with perpendicular axes or other types of universal joint.
Rotary joints 12 and 13 on the base portion can be driven by rotary actuators. In this way each upper arm 14 can be driven by two rotary actuators. Unlike other conventional parallel mechanisms, here two actuators are connected to each linkage. Therefore each linkage possesses two independent joint rotations. And a combination of at least three linkages is enough for providing six independent joint rotations.
Fig. 3 shows a configuration of the parallel mechanism with the actuators connected to the joints on the base portion. Actuators 131 rotates the upper arm 14 about the joint 13. Actuators 121 are directly connected to joint 12 which results in rotation of upper arm 14 about its longitudinal axis. The actuator 121 is installed on the part 132 which also comprises joints 12 and 13. Since the part 132 rotates about the axis of joint 13, the actuator 121 also moves with it. In this way the actuator 121 is not fixed in this configuration.
A close view of the placement of actuators in this configuration is shown in Fig. 4. As shown actuator 131 rotates part 132 and therefore upper arm 14 about joint 13. In this way, the upper arm 14 rotates upward or downward. This movement pushes the joint 15 and accordingly the lower arm 16 up or down. Actuator 121 inserts a torsional torque on the upper arm 14. The torsional torque is transferred through universal joint 15 to the lower arm. In this way, each lower arm 16 receives two different motions: a translational motion according to the movement of joint 15 due to rotation of joint 13 and a torsional rotation about its longitudinal axis due to rotation of joint 12.
Another configuration for placement of the actuators on the base portion is shown in Fig. 5. In this configuration actuator 131 directly rotates the part 132 and therefore the upper arm about axis of joint 13. Whereas, the rotation of actuator 121 is transferred to the upper arm 14 via a combination of bevel gears 122 and 123. A close view of the placement of actuators in this configuration is shown in Fig. 6. The advantage of this configuration is that the actuator 121 is also fixed on the base portion. I this way both of the actuators are fixed on the base portion.
In both configurations of Fig. 3 and Fig. 5 each of the upper arms numbered 14 is connected to one of the lower arms numbered 16 through a universal joint numbered 15. The universal joint 15 in this figure is a Persian joint, however other types of universal joint can also be used here. Use of a constant velocity universal joint with a higher cross over angle like Persian joint as shown in Fig. 3 is advantageous in the sense that it allows higher bending angles between upper arm 14 and lower arm 16. In this way a larger working envelope and workspace for a robot based on this parallel mechanism can be attained. The lower arms are connected to the moving bracket 18 via double perpendicular rotary joints or Cardan joints numbered 17.
A close view of the moving bracket 18 and its connections to the plurality of lower arms is shown in Fig. 7. The connection to each of the lower arms comprises two revolute joints with perpendicular joint axes 171 and 172, which together comprise the Cardan joint 17.
Parallel mechanisms have already been used in design of fast pick and place robots. Regarding the dexterity of this invention, it can be used in various further additional tasks. Robotic assembly cells, welding of complex form work objects, surgery robots and, material handling of objects with complex shapes are examples of applications of this invention.
