Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical sensor technology field, be specially a kind of The Optical Fiber Angle Transducer that is used for the measurement structure angle.
Background technology
Exoskeleton robot is meant the automaton that helps people to bear a heavy burden attached on the human body.To be exactly it catch human motion intention or behavior through the pick off that is installed on the human body to an important feature of exoskeleton robot, and with this as control signal drive controlling ectoskeleton, make its can with the user synchronous walking.At present in the world to the ectoskeleton robot research be on the forefront be Hybrid Assistive Leg (HAL) and the California, USA university of the Japanese Cybernics of University of tsukuba development restrain sharp branch school robot and Human Engineering Laboratory Aberdeen Proving Ground develop U.S. army's " Berkeley lower limb skeletons " (Berkeleylower extremity exoskeleton, BLEXE).They all are to use myoelectric sensor as the means of catching human motion intention or behavior.Though this myoelectric sensor mode can guarantee the real-time of signals collecting, in its experimentation, find the disadvantage of myoelectric sensor: 1) under vigorous exercise, come off easily, be shifted; 2) behind the prolonged exercise, human body is perspired can influence sensor measurement; 3) there is certain difference in pick off along with the difference of individual human; 4) pick off all will be attached to human body surface at every turn, uses inconvenient; (5) contain much information and complicated, be subject to disturb, thereby the control difficulty is strengthened.
Domestic exoskeleton robot still adopts traditional motor code-disc to the signal extraction of human synovial at present; Mechanical angle pick off and force transducer; Such as, the grandson of Hefei Institute Of Intelligent Machines Chinese Academy Of Sciences builds the surplus brave human body lower limbs movable information sensory perceptual system of a cover based on the CAN bus that designed with your island university of sika.This system is made up of motor code-disc, 6 one dimensional force sensors being installed in 22 D force sensors of shank and being installed in sole, and the shank force transducer is fixed on people's lower limb knee joint and ankle joint top, is used to measure the contact force between human body and the ectoskeleton; The motor code-disc is used to measure hip joint and knee joint rotation angle, through obtaining the contact force between human body lower limbs and the robot ectoskeleton, utilizes these force informations and joint angles information Control robot ectoskeleton to realize the power-assisted to the human body lower limbs motion.But because force transducer and motor code-disc be installed on the ectoskeleton, in actual use, can the generation changing of the relative positions between ectoskeleton clothes and the human body even collide with, can cause signal measurement error to occur; Adopt the mechanical pick-up device of this installation can't guarantee when handling accident, (advance such as the stopping suddenly) real-time of signals collecting of user in addition.
In the above-mentioned human synovial signal, the measurement of angle signal is the key of signal extraction technology.Be a direction of future development in the angular surveying of change structure when optical fiber technology is applied to.At present, the existing optical fibre sensor structure that has otch also mainly is to adopt the continuous otch of zigzag, and this structure is mainly used in the distortion curvature measurement of structure; Its precision to the curvature measurement of film micro area structure is higher, but because the design of its modulator zone, its modulator zone length is generally very little; Only in 5mm; If modulator zone length is long, the exit end signal will be very faint, can't realize measuring purpose.Therefore its knee joint angle that is used for bigger structure angle of transition region such as human body is measured, and its measuring range will be very little, can't meet the demands.
