Description

Technical Field

In related technologies, cluster robots can move multiple blocks together and assemble them in a manner similar to building blocks. Each independent robot possesses both carrying and climbing capabilities, enabling it to independently move blocks and climb onto the assembled structure.

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a robot component provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the robot assembly includes a robot 10 and at least one wedge-shaped block 20. The robot 10 is used to move the wedge-shaped block 20.

[0050] The wedge-shaped block 20 includes a rotating block 21 and a support block 22. The rotating block 21 is connected to the support block 22, and the rotating block 21 can be flipped relative to the support block 22 to the top or side of the support block 22. When the rotating block 21 is located to the side of the support block 22, the rotating block 21 and the support block 22 form an inclined surface 20a, which is used for the robot 10 to climb.

[0051] In this embodiment, a robot and at least one wedge-shaped block are provided. The wedge-shaped block includes a rotating block and a support block. The rotating block is connected to the support block and can be flipped relative to the support block to the top or side of the support block. During climbing, the robot can transport the wedge-shaped block to the position to be climbed. When the rotating block is located to the side of the support block, the rotating block and the support block form an inclined plane, allowing the robot to climb up the inclined plane, thereby facilitating the robot's climbing.

[0052] Optionally, the inclination angle of the inclined plane 20a is 10° to 40°. An excessively large inclination angle of the inclined plane 20a is detrimental to the climbing ability of the robot 10. For example, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the inclination angle of the inclined plane 20a is 30°.

[0053] The wedge-shaped block 20 is a deformable block, and the rotating block 21 can be flipped relative to the support block 22 to the top or side of the support block 22. When the rotating block 21 is on top of the support block 22, the rotating block 21 and the support block 22 form a cuboid. The deformation of the wedge-shaped block 20 into a cuboid is beneficial for the robot 10 to carry out the transport.

[0054] When the robot 10 moves the wedge-shaped block 20 to a position where it needs to climb, it flips the rotating block 21 relative to the support block 22 to the side of the support block 22, so that the rotating block 21 and the support block 22 form an inclined plane 20a. The robot 10 can climb up through the inclined plane 20a, making it convenient for the robot 10 to move the object to be moved to a higher position.

[0055] For example, the climbing motion of the robot 10 includes, but is not limited to, situations where the robot 10 is unloaded or when the robot 10 is carrying an object.

[0056] like Figure 1As shown, the support block 22 has a top wall 221 and opposing first side walls 222 and second side walls 223. The top wall 221 forms an acute angle with the first side wall 222, and the top wall 221 forms an obtuse angle with the second side wall 223. A rotating block 21 is connected at the junction of the top wall 221 and the second side wall 223. The rotating block 21 has a bottom wall 211. When the rotating block 21 is located at the top of the support block 22, the bottom wall 211 is opposite to the top wall 221. When the rotating block 21 is located to the side of the support block 22, the rotating block 21 is located on the side of the second side wall 223 away from the first side wall 222. The bottom wall 211 and the top wall 221 form an inclined surface 20a.

[0057] The first sidewall 222 and the second sidewall 223 are opposite each other. The top wall 221 forms an acute angle with the first sidewall 222, with an angle of 50° to 80°, and an obtuse angle with the second sidewall 223, with an angle of 100° to 130°, so that the top wall 221 is inclined downward from the first sidewall 222 to the second sidewall 223. In this embodiment, the angle between the top wall 221 and the first sidewall 222 is 60°, and the angle between the top wall 221 and the second sidewall 223 is 120°.

[0058] The rotating block 21 is a triangular prism, having a bottom wall 211 and a third side wall 212 and a fourth side wall 213 connected to the bottom wall 211. The bottom wall 211 and the third side wall 212 form an acute angle of 50° to 80°, and the bottom wall 211 and the fourth side wall 213 form an acute angle of 10° to 40°. In this embodiment, the angle between the bottom wall 211 and the third side wall 212 is 60°, and the angle between the bottom wall 211 and the fourth side wall 213 is 30°.

[0059] Optionally, the third sidewall 212 and the fourth sidewall 213 of the rotating block 21 are at right angles. When the rotating block 21 is located to the side of the support block 22, the third sidewall 212 is opposite to the second sidewall 223 of the support block 22, and the bottom wall 211 and the top wall 221 form an inclined plane 20a. The right angle between the third sidewall 212 and the fourth sidewall 213 allows the rotating block 21 to be more securely connected to the support block 22 when the robot 10 is climbing up the inclined plane 20a, preventing the rotating block 21 from rotating relative to the support block 22 and causing the robot 10 to tip over and be damaged while climbing up the inclined plane 20a.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a wedge-shaped block provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. To show the internal structure of the support block 22, Figure 2 The top wall 221 of the support block 22 is omitted. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the wedge-shaped block 20 also includes a flipping mechanism 23, which is connected to the support block 22 and the rotating block 21. The flipping mechanism 23 is used to drive the rotating block 21 to flip relative to the support block 22.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, the flipping mechanism 23 is located inside the support block 22, which saves space, makes the structure of the wedge block 20 more compact, and also provides protection for the flipping mechanism 23. Moreover, placing the flipping mechanism 23 inside the support block 22 can also concentrate the weight of the flipping mechanism 23 on the support block 22, reduce the weight of the rotating block 21, and facilitate the more stable flipping of the rotating block 21 relative to the support block 22.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the tilting mechanism 23 includes a gear shaft 231, a motor 232, a first drive gear 233, and a second drive gear 234. The gear shaft 231 is rotatably connected to the support block 22, and the gear shaft 231 is parallel to the rotation axis m1 of the rotating block 21. The first drive gear 233 is connected to the motor 232, and the first drive gear 233 meshes with the gear shaft 231. The second drive gear 234 is connected to the rotating block 21, and the rotation axis of the second drive gear 234 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotating block 21, and the second drive gear 234 meshes with the gear shaft 231.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are two second drive gears 234, located on both sides of the rotating block 21. The gear shaft 231 includes a shaft body 2311 and three gear portions 2312, coaxially connected. Two gear portions 2312 are located at both ends of the shaft body 2311, and the other is located in the middle. The gear portion 2312 located in the middle of the shaft body 2311 meshes with the first drive gear 233, and the two gear portions 2312 located at both ends of the shaft body 2311 mesh with the two second drive gears 234. By transmitting power to the rotating block 21 through the gear portion 2312 located at the end of the shaft body 2311, the rotation of the rotating block 21 can be made smoother.

[0064] In some examples, the gear part 2312 is connected to the shaft 2311 by an interference fit, while in other examples, the gear part 2312 is connected to the shaft 2311 by welding or by integral molding.

[0065] The shaft 2311 is parallel to the rotation axis m1 of the rotating block 21, which facilitates the meshing of multiple gear parts 2312 with the first drive gear 233 and the second drive gear 234. During the rotation of the rotating block 21 relative to the support block 22, the rotating block 21 rotates more smoothly without obvious gaps, thus improving the stability of the wedge block 20.

[0066] The first drive gear 233 transmits the drive torque of the motor 232 to the gear section 2312. The second drive gear 234 transmits the drive torque transmitted to the gear section 2312 to the rotating block 21, causing the rotating block 21 to rotate relative to the support block 22. By controlling the rotation speed of the motor 232, the rotation speed of the rotating block 21 can be changed; by controlling the direction of rotation of the motor 232, the rotation direction of the rotating block 21 can be changed.

[0067] Optionally, the rotating block 21 and the support block 22 can be connected by a hinge 29, making the rotation between the rotating block 21 and the support block 22 more flexible and stable, and the connection more secure.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the wedge-shaped block 20 also includes a control plate 27, which is located within the support block 22. The control plate 27 is used to control the motor 232. For example, it controls the direction and / or speed of the motor 232.

[0069] Figure 3 This disclosure provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a wedge-shaped block according to an embodiment. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the support block 22 has multiple first support legs 24. The wedge-shaped block 20 also includes a power connector 25, which is located on the bottom surface of the support block 22 and is connected to the motor 232. The power connector 25 can be used to supply power to the motor 232 to drive the motor 232 to rotate.

[0070] Multiple first support legs 24 are arranged at the bottom of the support block 22. When moving the wedge block 20, the robot 10 can enter the area between adjacent first support legs 24 to the underside of the support block 22, thereby lifting the wedge block 20 from the underside of the support block 22 for moving, making it convenient to move the wedge block 20 to the position that needs to be climbed.

[0071] Figure 4 This disclosure provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a robot according to an embodiment. For example... Figure 4 As shown, robot 10 has a power connector 11 located on top of robot 10, and the power connector 11 is used to connect to power connector 25.

[0072] The power connector 11 on the top of the robot 10 can be connected to the power connector 25 of the support block 22 to provide power for the operation of the motor 232. This eliminates the need for a battery in the wedge block 20, reducing its weight and facilitating its handling. It also reduces the production cost of the wedge block 20 and allows for the installation of multiple wedge blocks 20.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom surface of the support block 22 has multiple first magnetic adsorption elements 26. (As indicated...) Figure 4As shown, the top of the robot 10 has multiple second magnetic adsorption elements 12. The second magnetic adsorption elements 12 are used to adsorb the first magnetic adsorption element 26.

[0074] When the robot 10 is carrying the wedge-shaped block 20, when the robot 10 travels directly under the support block 22, the multiple second magnetic adsorption components 12 on the top of the robot 10 and the multiple first magnetic adsorption components 26 on the bottom surface of the support block 22 attract each other, so that the robot 10 is connected to the support block 22 and the robot 10 can carry the wedge-shaped block 20 stably.

[0075] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 The support block 22 has a first positioning groove 251 in the center of its bottom surface. Two first magnetic adsorption components 26 are distributed on both sides of the first positioning groove 251, and a power connector 25 is distributed at the bottom of the first positioning groove 251. (Reference) Figure 4 The robot 10 has a boss 15 in the middle of its top, with two second magnetic adsorption members 12 distributed on both sides of the boss 15, and a power supply connector 11 distributed on the top of the boss 15. When the lifting platform 14 rises to contact the support block 22, the boss 15 enters the first positioning groove 251 for positioning, so that the first magnetic adsorption member 26 and the second magnetic adsorption member 12 are aligned and attracted to each other. This also allows the power supply connector 11 to be firmly connected to the power connector 25, enabling the robot 10 to stably provide power to the motor 232.

[0076] Reference Figure 3 The wedge-shaped block 20 also includes a third magnetic adsorption member 28. The third magnetic adsorption member 28 is located at least at one of the following locations: at least one side wall of the support block 22, the bottom end of the first support leg 24, and the wall surface of the rotating block 21 opposite to the bottom wall 211.

[0077] For example, the third magnetic adsorption component 28 is located on the first side wall 222 of the support block 22. After the robot 10 places the wedge block 20 at the position to be climbed, it can use the third magnetic adsorption component 28 located on the first side wall 222 to adsorb it onto a nearby object, making the wedge block 20 more stable.

[0078] A third magnetic adsorption component 28 is provided at the bottom end of the first support leg 24. After the robot 10 places the wedge block 20 at the position to be climbed, it can use the third magnetic adsorption component 28 located at the bottom end of the first support leg 24 to adsorb onto nearby objects, making the wedge block 20 more stable.

[0079] A third magnetic adsorption component 28 is provided on the fourth side wall 213 of the rotating block 21. When the rotating block 21 is located to the side of the support block 22, after the robot 10 places the wedge block 20 in the position to be climbed, it can use the third magnetic adsorption component 28 on the fourth side wall 213 to adsorb the magnetic adsorption component on the ground, so that the rotating block 21 remains stable and the robot 10 can climb.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, the robot 10 includes a chassis 13 and a lifting platform 14. The lifting platform 14 is connected to the chassis 13 and can move up and down in a direction close to or away from the chassis 13. A power connector 11 and a second magnetic adsorption component 12 are located on the lifting platform 14. By adjusting the height between the lifting platform 14 and the chassis 13, the height of the robot 10 is matched with the height of the wedge-shaped block 20 being transported, allowing the power connector 11 to connect to the power connector 25 to supply power to the motor 232. After the rotation is completed, the lifting platform 14 is lowered to disconnect the power connector 11 and the power connector 25.

[0081] When the robot 10 moves to the support block 22, it adjusts the lifting platform 14 to raise the lifting platform 14 so that the power connector 11 connects with the power connector 25 and the second magnetic adsorption component 12 attracts the first magnetic adsorption component 26.

[0082] If the rotating block 21 is above the support block 22 at this time, control the lifting platform 14 to rise further to lift the wedge block 20.

[0083] If the rotating block 21 is located to the side of the support block 22 at this time, the rotating block 21 is first controlled to flip over to above the support block 22. Specifically, power can be supplied through the power connector 11, and the motor 232 in the wedge block 20 drives the rotating block 21 to flip through the first drive gear 233 and the second drive gear 234.

[0084] The robot 10 transports the wedge-shaped block 20 to the position to be climbed. The lifting platform 14 is lowered to place the wedge-shaped block 20, ensuring that the power connector 11 and power source connector 25 are aligned, and the second magnetic adsorption component 12 attracts the first magnetic adsorption component 26. Power is then supplied through the power connector 11, and the motor 232 in the wedge-shaped block 20 drives the rotating block 21 to rotate via the first drive gear 233 and the second drive gear 234, causing the rotating block 21 to rotate to the side of the support block 22, forming an inclined plane 20a with the support block 22. The lifting platform 14 of the robot 10 then lowers further, separating the power connector 11 from the power source connector 25 and the second magnetic adsorption component 12 from the first magnetic adsorption component 26. The robot 10 then moves out from under the support block 22, to the side of the rotating block 21 away from the support block 22, and moves upwards along the inclined plane 20a to climb. After the robot 10 moves out from under the support block 22, before moving to the inclined plane 20a, it can carry the object to be moved and use the inclined plane 20a to move the object to a higher position. Afterwards, the robot 10 can move the wedge block 20 to another position to be climbed as needed, and repeat the above process to climb again.

[0085] like Figure 4As shown, the robot 10 has a charging interface 16, which is located on the side wall of the chassis 13. The charging interface 16 is used to connect an external power source to charge the robot 10.

[0086] The chassis 13 is connected to multiple rollers 131, and the robot 10 moves by rotating the rollers 131. Exemplarily, the chassis 13 can move to a designated position using a line-following method. The robot 10 moves along a preset line on the ground and continuously emits infrared light. When the infrared light shines on the preset line, it is absorbed, and the robot 10 does not receive the reflected infrared light. When the infrared light shines on other locations on the ground, diffuse reflection occurs, and the robot 10 receives the reflected infrared light. The relative position of the robot to the preset line is determined based on whether or not the reflected infrared light is received, thereby controlling the robot 10's movement path. Optionally, the chassis 13 can also move to a designated position using a QR code positioning method. The robot 10 obtains and parses the QR code information by scanning a QR code laid on the ground to obtain its current position information, thereby locating the robot 10.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, the lifting platform 14 includes a lifting plate 141 and multiple telescopic rods 142. One end of the telescopic rod 142 is connected to the lifting plate 141, and the other end of the telescopic rod 142 is connected to the chassis 13.

[0088] For example, the telescopic rod 142 may be an electric push rod.

[0089] When the robot 10 is carrying out a transport, it can raise the lifting plate 141 via the telescopic rod 142 to lift the object to be transported, such as the wedge-shaped block 20, so that the object is off the ground. When using the wedge-shaped block 20, the lifting plate 141 is raised via the telescopic rod 142 to connect the power connector 11 to the power connector 25. After the wedge-shaped block 20 is flipped, the lifting plate 141 is lowered via the telescopic rod 142 to separate the power connector 11 from the power connector 25.

[0090] Optionally, the chassis 13 may weigh more than the lifting platform 14 in order to lower the center of gravity of the robot 10 and make the robot 10 more stable.

[0091] For example, a counterweight is provided in the chassis 13.

[0092] Reference Figure 1 The robot assembly also includes multiple square blocks 30, the height of which is the same as the height of the inclined plane 20a. The robot 10 is also used to move the square blocks 30.

[0093] The square block 30 is used to build a multi-layer platform. The square block 30 has the same height as the inclined plane 20a. The robot can move the wedge block 20 to one side of the square block 30 and then climb the inclined plane 20a to move to the top of the square block 30, which makes it easier for the robot 10 to climb.

[0094] Figure 5 This disclosure provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a square block according to an embodiment. (See diagram below.) Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the square block 30 has multiple second support legs 31.

[0095] Multiple second support legs 31 are set at the bottom of the square block 30. When moving the square block 30, the robot 10 can enter the area between adjacent second support legs 31 to the bottom of the square block 30, thereby lifting the square block 30 from the bottom for moving, making it convenient to move the square block 30 to the location of the multi-layer platform.

[0096] Figure 6 This disclosure provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a square block according to an embodiment. (See diagram below.) Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface of the square block 30 also has multiple fourth magnetic adsorption elements 32. The fourth magnetic adsorption elements 32 are used to adsorb the second magnetic adsorption element 12 located on the robot 10.

[0097] When the robot 10 is moving the square block 30, the robot 10 first moves to the bottom of the square block 30, and then controls the lifting platform 14 to rise, so that multiple second magnetic adsorption components 12 and multiple fourth magnetic adsorption components 32 on the bottom surface of the square block 30 are attracted to each other, so that the robot 10 is connected to the square block 30, making it easier for the robot 10 to move the square block 30 more stably.

[0098] In this embodiment of the disclosure, reference is made to Figure 6 The square block 30 has a second positioning groove 34 in the center of its bottom surface, and four fourth magnetic adsorption parts 32 are distributed around the second positioning groove 34.

[0099] The second magnetic adsorption component 12 on the top of the lifting platform 14 is distributed around the boss 15. When the lifting platform 14 rises to contact the square block 30, the boss 15 enters the second positioning groove 34 for positioning, so that the fourth magnetic adsorption component 32 and the second magnetic adsorption component 12 are aligned.

[0100] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 The square block 30 also has a fifth magnetic adsorption member 33. The fifth magnetic adsorption member 33 is located at least at one of the following locations: at least one side wall of the square block 30, the top of the square block 30, and the bottom end of the second support leg 31.

[0101] The fifth magnetic adsorption component 33 is located on the side wall of the square block 30. After the robot 10 places the square block 30 at the position of the platform to be built, it can use the fifth magnetic adsorption component 33 located on the side wall of the square block 30 to make adjacent square blocks 30 adsorb each other, so that the square blocks 30 are placed more stably.

[0102] A fifth magnetic adsorption component 33 is installed at the bottom of the second support leg 31. After the robot 10 places the square block 30 at the position of the platform to be built, it can use the fifth magnetic adsorption component 33 located on the side wall of the square block 30 to adsorb onto the ground or the square block 30 on the lower layer, so that the square blocks 30 are stacked more stably and are not easy to tip over.

[0103] A fifth magnetic adsorption component 33 is set on the top of the square block 30. When the robot places other blocks on top of the square block 30, it can use the fifth magnetic adsorption component 33 on the top of the square block 30 to adsorb the upper square block 30 or wedge block 20, making the stacking of blocks more stable and less likely to tip over.

[0104] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the magnetic adsorption components mentioned include a first magnetic adsorption component 26, a second magnetic adsorption component 12, a third magnetic adsorption component 28, a fourth magnetic adsorption component 32, and a fifth magnetic adsorption component 33. All of them can be magnetic structures, such as permanent magnets or electromagnets. Alternatively, some of the magnetic adsorption components can be magnetic structures, while others can be structures that can be adsorbed by magnetic structures, such as metals like iron, cobalt, and nickel.

[0105] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent switching, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
