摘要
力矩传感器在机器人关节实时力矩监测中起着重要作用,为提高电容力矩传感器灵敏度,提出一种双层静电极差动式电容力矩传感器。利用PCB板表面的双层静电极与悬臂梁动电极垂直分布构成的电容器作为力敏元件,将由梯形梁变形引起的电容变化量以差值方式输出,通过推导单层与双层静电极传感器的输出特性,证明双层静电极传感器具有更高灵敏度。对传感器进行受力仿真分析,验证结构设计的合理性,并进行静态标定实验,得出双层静电极传感器灵敏度为单层静电极传感器灵敏度的1.8倍,最大非线性误差约为2.19%,重复性误差约为1.84%。该实验结果表明双层静电极传感器具有更高灵敏度,满足机器人关节测力的需求。
Torque sensor plays an important role in the real-time torque monitoring of the robot joint.To improve the sensitivity of capacitance torque sensor,a differential capacitance torque sensor with doublelayer static electrode is presented.The capacitor composed of a double-layer static electrode on the surface of the PCB and the cantilever movable electrodes is used for force sensing element.The amount of change in capacitance caused by trapezoidal beam deformation is output as the difference.By deriving the output characteristics of single-layer and double-layer static electrode sensor,it is proved that the double-layer static electrode sensor has higher sensitivity.The force simulation analysis experiment is executed to verify the structural rationality,and the static calibration experiment of the sensor is carried out to obtain the sensitivity of double-layer static electrode sensor is 1.8 times of single-layer static electrode sensor,the maximum nonlinear error is 2.19%,the repeatability error is 1.84%.The results indicate that the double-layer static electrode sensor has higher sensitivity to meet the requirement of robot joint force measurement.
