Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics and competitive engineering technology, and in particular to a competitive fighting robot. Background Technology

[0002] A typical fighting robot consists of the following core subsystems:

[0003] Power system: including chassis, armor (steel / titanium alloy / composite materials), weapons (rotating blades, catapult arms, hammer striking device);

[0004] Control system: including brushless motor, gearbox, LiPo battery (high discharge rate), ESC (electronic speed controller);

[0005] Weapon system: including remote control receiver (2.4GHz), microcontroller (Arduino, STM32), and sensors (gyroscope, current monitoring);

[0006] Power system: including high-speed rotating weapons (drum, vertical rotation, horizontal rotation), ejection device, and hydraulic clamp.

[0007] The working principle of fighting robots is as follows:

[0008] Power transmission battery → ESC → motor → gears / belts → weapon or wheel hub.

[0009] Weapon systems are typically powered independently to avoid competing for current with the drive system.

[0010] The control process of the fighting robot is as follows:

[0011] Remote control signal → receiver → microcontroller → adjust motor speed / weapon start / stop.

[0012] Some robots are equipped with automatic balancing algorithms (such as gyroscopes to prevent self-tipping).

[0013] Attack Mechanism: Kinetic weapons rely on rotational mass to cause structural damage.

[0014] Control weapons: They disable an opponent's ability to move or attack by grabbing or ejecting them.

[0015] Utility model patent CN202323128965.2 discloses a rotating drum fighting robot, belonging to the field of fighting robot technology. It includes a rotating drum weapon system, a motion system, and a defense system. The defense system includes armor, an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate, a front cover plate, a rear cover plate, and a chassis. The armor is a semi-enclosed integrated design, with the upper, lower, front, and rear cover plates all connected to it. The chassis houses all components of the control system and has reserved slots for competition cards and Bluetooth connectivity. The control system is electrically connected to the rotating drum weapon system, the motion system, and the defense system. This utility model provides a rotating drum fighting robot that combines offensive and defensive capabilities, increasing its defensive capabilities, flexibility, and heat dissipation performance, thus improving its overall performance. It addresses the issue of traditional fighting robots' extreme, attack-oriented designs reducing their overall combat effectiveness, and significantly increases the applicability of fighting robots in competitive combat.

[0016] This utility model has the following disadvantages:

[0017] The one-piece design of the body makes maintenance difficult: The combat robot's armor is designed as a single piece, requiring the entire armor to be removed during disassembly, which makes it difficult to perform targeted maintenance on individual modules.

[0018] Weak weapon attack power: This fighting robot uses a catapult-style attack method, which is difficult to operate and makes it difficult to inflict much damage on the enemy. It is also difficult to win when fighting against robots of the same type as the spinning drum.

[0019] Insufficient structural stability: The integrated design makes the fighting robot poor in impact resistance and stability, making it prone to losing balance or being damaged in intense collisions.

[0020] Outdated manufacturing processes: Most of its components are manufactured using traditional processing methods, which is not only costly, but also makes it difficult to achieve high-precision manufacturing of complex structural parts, thus limiting the flexibility and innovation of the design. Utility Model Content

[0021] In view of this, the present invention provides a competitive fighting robot to at least solve some of the problems in the background art.

[0022] A combat robot includes a body with a pair of wheels and a pair of armor plates on both sides, a rear protective plate at the rear of the body, and a driving support and weapon system at the front of the body. The body consists only of an upper top plate, a lower bottom plate, a front baffle, a rear baffle, and a pair of side plates. The upper top plate, lower bottom plate, front baffle, rear baffle, and pair of side plates are connected by a mortise and tenon structure. The body has no internal frame design.

[0023] A driving power output module is provided on each of the two sides of the rear part of the fuselage. The power output shaft of the driving power output module passes through the corresponding side plate and drives the wheel. A main control module is provided between the driving power output modules in the rear part of the fuselage. A weapon power output module is provided on one side of the front part of the fuselage. The weapon power output module drives the weapon system. A power output module is provided on the other side of the front part of the fuselage.

[0024] Furthermore, the weapon system includes a pair of weapon mounts located at the front of the fuselage and a rotary drum weapon located between the pair of weapon mounts, and the weapon power output module is connected to the rotary drum weapon via a belt drive.

[0025] Furthermore, the lower base plate is provided with a front extension, and the weapon rack is fixed on the front extension;

[0026] And / or, the lower base plate is provided with a side extension wing, and the armor is fixed to the side extension wing;

[0027] And / or, the lower base plate is provided with a rear extension, and the rear protective plate is fixed on the rear extension.

[0028] Furthermore, the upper top plate, lower bottom plate, front baffle, rear baffle, and a pair of side plates are all made of aluminum alloy or carbon steel.

[0029] And / or, the upper top plate, lower bottom plate, rear baffle and a pair of side plates are all provided with hollowed-out sections.

[0030] Furthermore, each pair of armor plates includes an extended protective section located at the lower front, a belt protective section located at the upper middle, and a wheel protective section located at the rear.

[0031] Furthermore, the extended protective part is made of PEBA material;

[0032] And / or, the extended protective portion is provided with a slot for mounting a front fork or front shovel.

[0033] Furthermore, each of the pair of weapon racks includes a vertical main body and a circular connecting part extending forward and upward from the vertical main body. The circular connecting part has a vertically extending groove on the side near the drum weapon, and the travel support is embedded in the groove.

[0034] Furthermore, the vertical main body is connected to the front baffle, upper top plate, and lower bottom plate by screws;

[0035] And / or, the vertical main body is provided with a reserved through hole for fixing the armor.

[0036] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is provided between the pair of weapon racks, and the drum weapon is connected to the rotating shaft via a bearing. A sleeve is provided on the rotating shaft on the side of the bearing near the corresponding weapon rack.

[0037] Furthermore, the sleeve is crescent-shaped;

[0038] And / or, the sleeve is made of PEBA material.

[0039] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] This utility model discloses a competitive fighting robot. The robot has a pair of wheels at the rear and a driving support at the front. The driving support reduces the need for side wheels, thus lightening the robot's weight to meet competition requirements. The robot body consists only of an upper top plate, a lower bottom plate, a front baffle, a rear baffle, and a pair of side plates. These plates are connected by mortise and tenon joints, incorporating the traditional Chinese architectural method of mortise and tenon joints into the robot's structure. This not only improves the robot's strength and structural stability but also facilitates disassembly, aiding in on-site maintenance and training. The robot has no internal frame; instead, a driving power output module is installed within the body. The robot comprises a main control module, a weapon power output module, and a power output module. By innovatively adopting integrated modules, the internal frame design is eliminated, breaking away from the conventional internal frame thinking. While meeting the requirements for fixing parts, the weight of the robot is greatly reduced, making it suitable for national-level competitions and facilitating on-site maintenance. The robot has a pair of armor plates on both sides and a rear protective plate at the rear. The non-integrated armor design not only improves the impact resistance and stability of the fighting robot, making it less likely to lose balance or be damaged in intense collisions, but also allows for targeted maintenance by simply removing the armor / rear protective plate to be replaced.

[0050] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0052] Despite the relatively mature technology of existing fighting robots, the following problems still exist:

[0053] Low energy efficiency: High-power weapons cause batteries to deplete quickly (typical combat time <3 minutes).

[0054] Poor weapon reliability: High-speed rotating weapons are prone to deformation due to impact or burnout due to motor overload;

[0055] Limitations of armor protection: the contradiction between lightweight and strength, and the vulnerability of local weaknesses (such as chassis gaps) to targeted attacks;

[0056] Low level of autonomy: The vast majority rely on manual remote control and lack real-time AI decision-making;

[0057] High maintenance complexity: Insufficient modular design makes rapid battlefield repair difficult.

[0058] This utility model provides a competitive fighting robot with powerful power output, flexible control performance and stable body structure. While meeting the needs of competitive fighting, the competitive fighting robot can also be used as a teaching tool to help students understand theoretical knowledge such as mechanical design and electronic control, and improve students' practical operation ability.

[0059] This utility model embodiment provides a competitive fighting robot, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the fuselage includes a fuselage 1, with a pair of wheels 2 and a pair of armor plates 3 on both sides. A rear protective plate 4 is located at the rear of the fuselage 1, and a running support 5 and weapon system 6 are located at the front. The fuselage 1 consists only of an upper top plate 11, a lower bottom plate 12, a front baffle 13, a rear baffle 14, and a pair of side plates 15. The upper top plate 11, lower bottom plate 12, front baffle 13, rear baffle 14, and pair of side plates 15 are connected by mortise and tenon joints (see details). Figure 3 Connected at point A in the middle, the chassis 1 has no frame design;

[0060] A driving power output module 16 is provided on each side of the rear interior of the fuselage 1. The power output shaft of the driving power output module 16 passes through the corresponding side plate 15 and drives the wheel 2. A main control module 17 is provided between the driving power output modules 16 in the rear interior of the fuselage 1. A weapon power output module 18 is provided on one side of the front interior of the fuselage 1. The weapon power output module 18 drives the weapon system 6. A power output module 19 is provided on the other side of the front interior of the fuselage 1.

[0061] When in use, after starting the combat robot, the power output module 19 inside the body 1 supplies power to other modules (driving power output module 16, main control module 17 and weapon power output module 18). The driving power output module 16 drives the wheels 2 under the control of the main control module 17. The body 1 moves under the combined action of the wheels 2 and the driving support 5. The weapon power output module 18 drives the weapon system 6 under the control of the main control module 17 to attack. When attacked, the body 1 can be protected from damage by a pair of armor plates 3 and a rear protective plate 4.

[0062] This utility model discloses a competitive fighting robot. The robot has a pair of wheels at the rear and a driving support at the front. The driving support reduces the need for side wheels, thus lightening the robot's weight to meet competition requirements. The robot body consists only of an upper top plate, a lower bottom plate, a front baffle, a rear baffle, and a pair of side plates. These plates are connected by mortise and tenon joints, incorporating the traditional Chinese architectural method of mortise and tenon joints into the robot's structure. This not only improves the robot's strength and structural stability but also facilitates disassembly, aiding in on-site maintenance and training. The robot has no internal frame; instead, a driving power output module is installed within the body. The robot comprises a main control module, a weapon power output module, and a power output module. By innovatively adopting integrated modules, the internal frame design is eliminated, breaking away from the conventional internal frame thinking. While meeting the requirements for fixing parts, the weight of the robot is greatly reduced, making it suitable for national-level competitions and facilitating on-site maintenance. The robot has a pair of armor plates on both sides and a rear protective plate at the rear. The non-integrated armor design not only improves the impact resistance and stability of the fighting robot, making it less likely to lose balance or be damaged in intense collisions, but also allows for targeted maintenance by simply removing the armor / rear protective plate to be replaced.

[0063] The weapon system 6 can be any type of weapon. In the embodiment shown in the figure, it is a drum weapon. That is, the weapon system 6 includes a pair of weapon racks 61 located in front of the fuselage 1 and a drum weapon 62 located between the pair of weapon racks 61. The weapon power output module 18 is connected to the drum weapon 62 via a belt 181.

[0064] The lower base plate 12 may have a front extension 121, on which the weapon rack 61 is fixed securely. The lower base plate 12 may also have side extension wings 122, on which the armor 3 is fixed. The lower base plate 12 may also have a rear extension 123, on which the rear protective plate 4 is fixed. In practice, the weapon rack 61, armor 3, and rear protective plate 4 can all be fixed to the lower base plate 12 with screws. This further improves the impact resistance and stability of the fighting robot. When the armor 3 / rear protective plate 4 is subjected to a violent collision, the connection point can act as a buffer and shock absorber, thereby transmitting the impact force to the lower base plate 12, reducing the impact force borne by the armor 3 / rear protective plate 4, and preventing the fighting robot from losing balance or being damaged.

[0065] The top plate 11, bottom plate 12, front baffle 13, rear baffle 14 and a pair of side plates 15 can all be made of aluminum alloy or carbon steel, giving them strong impact resistance and wear resistance. The top plate 11, bottom plate 12, rear baffle 13 and a pair of side plates 15 can all have perforations, which can improve heat dissipation performance while reducing the weight of the body 1.

[0066] like Figure 5As shown, each pair of armor plates 3 can include an extended protective section 31 located at the lower front, a belt protective section 32 located at the upper middle, and a wheel protective section 33 located at the rear. Compared with the prior art, this utility model has an innovative design for the armor plates 3, which adds an extended protective section 31, a belt protective section 32, and a wheel protective section 33. Furthermore, the extended protective section 31 can be made of PEBA material, which greatly improves both strength and toughness. The extended protective section 31 can be provided with a slot 311 for installing a front fork or front shovel, that is, it adopts a modular design. The reserved slot 311 can replace the front fork, front shovel, etc. at any time; the belt protective section 32 serves to prevent the belt 181 from being subjected to lateral impact.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, each pair of weapon mounts 61 can include a vertical main body 611 and a circular connecting part 612 extending forward and upward from the vertical main body 611. The circular connecting part 612 has a vertically extending groove 6121 on the side near the rotating drum weapon 62, and the travel support 5 is embedded in the groove 6121. In this way, the separate weapon mount structure innovatively separates the travel support 5 and the weapon mount 61, which not only improves the structural flexibility of the fuselage, but also effectively mitigates the impact force. The groove 6121 is used to embed the travel support 5, so that the stress on the travel support 5 is distributed to the structure of the weapon mount 61. At the same time, it allows the travel support 5 to switch the corresponding material and shape under different friction coefficients to achieve a good friction coefficient and prevent the travel support 5 from being too large or too small on the contact surface, which would cause unstable driving. By adjusting the travel support 5, the horizontal contact point when the weapon starts to rotate can be changed. At the same time, the use of the travel support 5 can reduce the wheel structure on both sides, which can reduce the weight of the vehicle to meet the requirements of the competition level. In practice, the travel support 5 can be connected to the weapon rack 61 by four screws. The travel support 5 can be a spindle-shaped plate with rollers at the top and can also have hollowed-out parts.

[0068] The vertical main body 611 can be connected to the front baffle 13, the upper top plate 11, and the lower bottom plate 12 by screws. The vertical main body 611 can be provided with reserved through holes (not shown) for fixing the armor 3, which can enhance the fixing strength of the weapon rack 61 and extend its service life when the weapon rack 61 is placed inside the armor 3. In specific implementation, the vertical main body 611 of the weapon rack 61 can be fixed to the front baffle 13 by three horizontal screws, and fixed to the upper top plate 11 and the lower bottom plate 12 by two vertical screws respectively.

[0069] like Figures 7-8As shown, a rotating shaft 63 can be provided between a pair of weapon racks 61. The rotating drum weapon 62 is connected to the rotating shaft 63 via a bearing 64. A sleeve 65 is provided on the rotating shaft 63 on the side of the bearing 64 near the corresponding weapon rack 61. In traditional models, the weapon bearing is in direct contact with the weapon rack, which not only increases the friction of weapon rotation but also easily causes bearing damage. In this invention, the sleeve 65 (specifically, it can be crescent-shaped) made of PEBA material not only reduces the friction between the bearing 64 and the weapon rack 61, extending the life of the bearing 64, but also makes the various parts clearly separated, facilitating maintenance and student learning.

[0070] In summary, the purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing competitive fighting robots in terms of structural design, power output, structural stability, and manufacturing process. It aims to provide a competitive fighting robot that is flexible in operation, powerful in attack, structurally stable, and modularly designed. Through its independently designed modular structure and mortise and tenon joints, as well as manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and spraying, this invention ensures the structural stability and flexibility of the competitive fighting robot. While meeting national competition standards, it can also be used as a teaching aid to help students understand theoretical knowledge such as mechanical design and electronic control, improve their practical skills, and provide them with more creative space.

[0071] The combat robot of this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0072] Improving the modularity of competitive robots facilitates rapid repairs on the field and also makes them easier for students to learn.

[0073] To improve the structural stability of the competitive robot, a mortise and tenon structure is adopted, giving it strong impact resistance and impact resistance.

[0074] It adopts a self-designed weapon structure, giving it greater offensive power on the field.

[0075] Optimizing the processing technology improves the precision and stability of parts while giving students more creative space.

[0076] In addition, the combat robot of this invention also has the following beneficial effects:

[0077] 1. High structural stability: The use of mortise and tenon structure and high-strength materials can improve the stability and impact resistance of the competitive fighting robot in intense combat.

[0078] 2. Strong attack capability: It adopts a self-designed weapon structure and is equipped with a high-torque, high-response brushless motor, which has a strong output capability and can cause great damage to the opponent.

[0079] 3. High flexibility and convenient and fast maintenance: The whole machine adopts a modular design with clear distinction between each module. While improving the flexibility of the competitive robot, it can be disassembled and assembled in a modular manner, and can be quickly and targeted for maintenance on the field.

[0080] 4. Adaptability to the Educational Field: The clearly defined structure of this competitive fighting robot makes it easy for beginners to get started. Furthermore, the application of 3D printing provides students with more creative possibilities.

[0081] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
