Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of simulation robot technology, specifically to a simulation robot cavity device and a simulation robot. Background Technology

[0002] As people's demand for infant and toddler care increases, responsive care is gradually becoming more familiar and accepted. Infants' inherent characteristics mean they cannot express their needs precisely with language and facial expressions; caregivers must identify their needs through cries and respond accordingly. This requires caregivers to have rich experience and exceptional patience. To cultivate such high-quality, patient infant and toddler caregivers, vocational schools and training institutions urgently need a comprehensive infant simulation device that allows for repeated practice and improvement of caregiving skills.

[0003] Currently, baby robots on the market are mainly concentrated in early childhood education and toys, with a few applications in education and training, including baby bathing simulators and artificial resuscitation training baby simulators. However, the independent intelligent algorithms for these robots in areas such as need detection, posture recognition, and hazard identification are not yet mature enough to achieve natural, safe, and effective communication between the robot and humans, and between the robot and the environment. They also struggle to recognize unknown and changing caregiving actions. Furthermore, the integration of internal components in existing robots is not high, making it difficult to accommodate the limited space required for robot internal assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a simulated robot cavity device and a simulated robot, which can integrate and assemble relevant components for the robot cavity with limited installation space, making it easy to disassemble and assemble, and can also effectively recognize care actions such as dressing and changing diapers.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A simulated robot cavity device includes a housing, a cover plate, a battery, a circuit board, a sensor plate, and a speaker. The battery, the sensor plate, and the speaker are all connected to the circuit board through wires. The cover plate is detachably installed at the open end of the housing. Two battery compartments are arranged side by side inside the housing. Each battery compartment contains a battery. A circuit board support is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the housing. The circuit board support is located between the two battery compartments. The circuit board is installed on the circuit board support. The speaker is installed on the circuit board support. The sensor plate is installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the housing.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The simulated robot cavity device of this invention integrates the battery, cover plate, circuit board, sensor plate, and speaker into a housing box, facilitating disassembly and assembly and avoiding the need for scattered assembly of various components within the cavity. Furthermore, placing the circuit board between the two battery compartments and inserting it into a circuit board support facilitates connections with the battery, sensor plate, and speaker, reducing the length of wires used and resulting in better structural integration. By placing a sensor plate on the bottom of the housing box, when the housing box is installed inside the robot, the sensor plate can be used to detect whether the robot is dressed or performing other care operations, resulting in a simple and reliable structure.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, the container has a double-layer box structure, which includes an inner box and an outer box. The inner box is adapted to be stacked inside the outer box. A through hole is opened in the middle of the bottom of the outer box. The circuit board bracket is installed on the outer side wall of the bottom of the inner box and extends out from the through hole. The sensing element is installed on the outer side wall of the bottom of the outer box.

[0009] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: by using a double-layer box structure, the sensor chip can be assembled separately from the circuit board, speaker, etc., and each structure is independent, which facilitates assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the circuit board support is also provided with a ribbon cable connector, and the circuit board, sensor, speaker and battery are all connected to the ribbon cable connector through wires.

[0011] Furthermore, both the speaker and the ribbon cable connector are located on the side of the circuit board bracket away from the cover plate.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the speaker makes it convenient to remind caregivers whether their actions are in place.

[0013] Furthermore, the speaker is provided with a speaker mounting plate, which covers the speaker and is fixedly connected to the circuit board bracket via a connector; the speaker mounting plate is provided with a connector mounting plate, which covers the ribbon cable connector and is fixedly connected to the circuit board bracket or the speaker mounting plate via a connector.

[0014] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the speaker mounting plate can stably mount the speaker on the circuit board bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two sensing elements, which are symmetrically fixed on opposite sides of the circuit board bracket by sensing element brackets, and the two sensing elements are located at both ends of the battery in the axial direction.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it enables corresponding sensing of both the upper and lower body of the robot.

[0017] Furthermore, a circuit board insertion channel is formed in the middle of the circuit board support, the circuit board insertion channel extends along the axial direction of the battery, and the circuit board is inserted into the circuit board insertion channel.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner wall of the housing is provided with an installation step, and a limiting plate is detachably connected to the installation step by bolts. The limiting plate is located inside the cover plate and covers the battery compartment and the circuit board respectively. A button hole is opened at the position of the limiting plate corresponding to the position of the circuit board, and an operation hole is opened at the position of the cover plate corresponding to the position of the circuit board.

[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: fixing the limiting plate on the installation step makes it convenient to limit the battery in the battery compartment and the circuit board on the circuit board bracket, preventing the battery from falling out of the battery compartment and the circuit board from shaking and falling out of the circuit board bracket.

[0020] Furthermore, the open end of the container is provided with a limiting block, and the cover plate is provided with a limiting notch at the position corresponding to the limiting block. The cover plate is adapted to the limiting block through the limiting notch and installed at the open end of the container, and is detachably connected to the open end of the container by screws.

[0021] A simulated robot includes the aforementioned simulated robot cavity device and a simulated robot body. The simulated robot cavity device is installed inside the chest cavity of the simulated robot body. The sensor plate faces the front of the simulated robot body, and the cover plate faces the rear of the simulated robot.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the simulated robot of this invention can integrate and store the simulated robot cavity device in the chest cavity of the simulated robot body, avoiding the scattered placement of components. Furthermore, it can utilize sensors to detect caregiver operations, etc. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1-8As shown, a simulated robot cavity device according to this embodiment includes a housing 100, a cover plate 200, a battery 300, a circuit board 400, a sensor 500, and a speaker 600. The battery 300, the sensor 500, and the speaker 600 are all connected to the circuit board 400 via wires. The cover plate 200 is detachably installed at the open end of the housing 100. Two battery compartments 103 are formed side by side inside the housing 100, and each battery compartment 103 contains a battery 300. A circuit board support 104 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the housing 100. The circuit board support 104 is located between the two battery compartments 103. The circuit board 400 is installed on the circuit board support 104, the speaker 600 is installed on the circuit board support 104, and the sensor 500 is installed on the outer wall of the bottom of the housing 100.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the housing 100 in this embodiment has a double-layer box structure, comprising an inner box 101 and an outer box 102. The inner box 101 is adapted and stacked within the outer box 102. A through hole 105 is formed in the center of the bottom of the outer box 102. The circuit board support 104 is mounted on the outer side wall of the bottom of the inner box 101 and extends from the through hole 105. The sensing element 500 is mounted on the outer side wall of the bottom of the outer box 102. This double-layer box structure allows for separate assembly of the sensing element, circuit board, speaker, etc., making each structure independent and facilitating assembly.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the inner box 101 in this embodiment has multiple limiting posts on its bottom wall, and the outer box 102 has multiple limiting grooves on its bottom wall. The inner box 101 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting grooves one by one through the multiple limiting posts for positioning. The limiting posts and limiting grooves can also be connected and fixed to facilitate the connection and fixation between the inner box 101 and the outer box 102. For example, a limiting post can be set at each of the four corners of the bottom wall of the inner box 101, and a limiting groove can be set at each of the four corners of the bottom wall of the outer box 102.

[0038] Specifically, the free end of the circuit board support 104 is higher than the bottom of the battery compartment 103, and the battery compartment 103 is limited to both sides of the through hole 105 of the outer box 102.

[0039] Preferably, the open end of the container 100 and the cover plate 200 both adopt a wave-shaped arc surface structure that adapts to the back lines of the simulated robot.

[0040] like Figures 2-7 As shown, the circuit board support 104 in this embodiment is also provided with a ribbon cable connector 700. The circuit board 400, the sensor 500, the speaker 600 and the battery 300 are all connected to the ribbon cable connector 700 through wires.

[0041] like Figures 6-8 As shown, in this embodiment, both the speaker 600 and the ribbon cable connector 700 are located on the side of the circuit board bracket 104 facing away from the cover plate 200. The speaker is positioned to facilitate the use of a speaker to remind the caregiver whether their actions are in place.

[0042] like Figures 1-8 As shown, in this embodiment, the speaker 600 is provided with a speaker mounting plate 601, which covers the speaker 600 and is fixedly connected to the circuit board support 104 via a connector. The speaker mounting plate 601 is also provided with a connector mounting plate 602, which covers the ribbon cable connector 700 and is fixedly connected to the circuit board support 104 or the speaker mounting plate 601 via a connector. The speaker mounting plate can stably mount the speaker on the circuit board support. The connector can be a connecting post and a screw integrally formed on the bottom wall of the inner housing, and the speaker mounting plate is then fixed to the corresponding connecting post with screws. Similarly, the connector mounting plate 602 can also be fixed to the corresponding connecting post with screws. The speaker mounting plate 601 includes a circular housing structure and a plate structure adapted to the speaker. The circular housing structure can be used to cover and protect the speaker, and the plate structure can be used to mount the ribbon cable connector 700.

[0043] like Figures 3-8 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two sensor sheets 500. The two sensor sheets 500 are symmetrically fixed to opposite sides of the circuit board support 104 via sensor sheet brackets 501. The two sensor sheets 500 are located at opposite ends of the battery 300 in the axial direction, which are the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Both sensor sheets are arranged at an angle relative to the bottom of the housing 100. The circuit board support 104, speaker 600, and ribbon cable connector 700 are all located between the two sensor sheets 500. The sensor sheets can sense both the upper and lower body of the robot.

[0044] Specifically, a connecting sleeve 502 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the receiving box 100. The connecting sleeve 502 is arranged perpendicular to the bottom wall of the receiving box 100, and the sensor plate support 501 is inserted and fixed in the connecting sleeve 502. The sensor plate support 501 includes a support plate and a support column. The support plate is obliquely fixed to one end of the support column, and the sensor plate 500 is fixed to the support plate. The other end of the support column is inserted and fixed in the corresponding connecting sleeve 502. The connecting sleeve 502 is fixed on the outer wall of the bottom of the outer box 102, and a set of connecting sleeves 502 is provided on each side of the through hole 105 of the outer box 102. Each set of connecting sleeves 502 includes at least two connecting sleeves 502, which can be used to insert and fix the support column on the sensor plate support 501 into the corresponding connecting sleeve 502. The through hole 105 can be a rectangular opening extending along the axial direction of the battery 300, and a set of connecting sleeves 502 is provided on each side of the through hole 105 along its length. A lead wire hole is provided on the support plate to facilitate the lead wires on the sensing element 500 to be led out from the lead wire hole.

[0045] like Figures 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a circuit board insertion channel is formed in the middle of the circuit board support 104. The circuit board insertion channel extends along the axial direction of the battery 300, and the circuit board 400 is inserted into the circuit board insertion channel.

[0046] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the inner wall of the housing 100 in this embodiment is further provided with an installation step 106. A limiting plate 108 is detachably connected to the installation step 106 by bolts 107. The limiting plate 108 is located inside the cover plate 200 and covers the battery compartment 103 and the circuit board 400 respectively. A button hole 109 is provided on the limiting plate 108 at the position corresponding to the circuit board 400, and an operation hole 110 is provided on the cover plate 200 at the position corresponding to the circuit board 400. Fixing the limiting plate on the installation step facilitates the limiting of the battery in the battery compartment and the circuit board on the circuit board bracket, preventing the battery from falling out of the battery compartment or the circuit board from shaking and falling off the circuit board bracket.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the limiting plate 108 in this embodiment includes a flat plate segment and two arc-shaped segments on both sides. The two arc-shaped segments are integrally connected to the two sides of the flat plate segment. The arc-shaped segments are adapted to the arc-shaped structure of the surface of the battery 300. A mounting platform is provided on the inner side wall of the inner box 101. The flat plate segment is adapted to be mounted on the mounting platform for support. A button hole 109 is provided on the flat plate segment, so that the button on the circuit board can be exposed through the button hole 109 for easy operation. A notch is opened at one end of the flat plate segment, and a bolt 107 can pass through the notch on the cover plate 200 and the limiting plate 108 to be fixedly connected to the mounting step 106.

[0048] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the open end of the container 100 in this embodiment is also provided with a limiting block 111. The cover plate 200 is provided with a limiting notch 112 at the position corresponding to the limiting block 111. The cover plate 200 is adapted to the limiting block 111 through the limiting notch 112 and is installed at the open end of the container 100, and is detachably connected to the open end of the container 100 by screws.

[0049] The simulated robot cavity device of this embodiment integrates the battery, cover plate, circuit board, sensor plate, and speaker into a housing box, facilitating disassembly and assembly and avoiding the need for scattered assembly of various components within the cavity. Furthermore, placing the circuit board between the two battery compartments and inserting it into a circuit board bracket facilitates connections with the battery, sensor plate, and speaker, reducing wire length and improving structural integration. By placing a sensor plate on the bottom of the housing box, when the housing box is installed inside the robot, the sensor plate can detect whether the robot is dressed or performing other care operations, resulting in a simple and reliable structure.

[0050] This embodiment also provides a simulation robot, including the simulation robot cavity device described above, and a simulation robot body. The simulation robot cavity device is installed inside the chest cavity of the simulation robot body. The sensor 500 faces the front of the simulation robot body, and the cover plate 200 faces the rear of the simulation robot.

[0051] There are two sensor pads 500, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the simulated robot body respectively. The sensor pad 500 located on the upper side of the simulated robot body is used to sense whether the upper part of the simulated robot body is wearing clothes, and the sensor pad 500 located on the upper side of the simulated robot body is used to sense whether the lower part of the simulated robot body is wearing clothes or diapers, etc.

[0052] In one optional embodiment, the sensing element 500 is an RFID antenna.

[0053] When the simulated robot of this embodiment is in use, a trigger piece can be set on the clothing at the position corresponding to the sensor piece. The trigger piece can be an RFID chip. When the sensor piece does not sense the trigger piece, the caregiver can be reminded by a speaker that the clothing is not worn correctly.

[0054] The simulated robot in this embodiment can integrate and store the simulated robot cavity device in the chest cavity of the simulated robot body, avoiding the scattered placement of components. Furthermore, it can utilize sensors to detect caregiver operations.
