Second, hoses are susceptible to external environmental interference, such as friction, wear, and breakage, which can affect the robot's reliability and lifespan. Furthermore, the use of hoses increases the robot's weight and complexity. Summary of the Invention

The pelvic structure return pipe 16-5 is connected to the pelvic plate return pipe 1-1.
[0035] Please see Figure 6 The servo valve block 18 is T-shaped, and has a servo valve return oil pipe 18-5, a servo valve inlet oil pipe 18-6, and a servo valve block inlet oil pipe 18-8 respectively. The servo valve return oil pipe 18-5 and the servo valve inlet oil pipe 18-6 are parallel to each other, and the servo valve block inlet oil pipe 18-8 is perpendicular to the servo valve inlet oil pipe 18-6 and the two are connected.
[0036] One surface of the valve block at the servo valve is provided with a first vertical pipe 18-7, which is connected to the servo valve return oil pipe 18-5 and the pelvic plate return oil pipe 1-1. The other surface of the valve block at the servo valve is provided with two vertical pipe groups. Each vertical pipe group includes a second vertical pipe 18-1, a fourth vertical pipe 18-2, a third vertical pipe 18-3, and a fifth vertical pipe 18-4. The center points of the four pipes in each vertical pipe group are located at the four vertices of the same square.
[0037] The vertical pipes 18-1 and 18-4 of the valve block at the second servo valve and the fifth servo valve, respectively, intersect perpendicularly with the servo valve return oil pipe 18-5 and the servo valve inlet oil pipe 18-6, and are interconnected. The vertical pipes 18-2 and 18-3 of the valve block at the fourth servo valve and the third servo valve both penetrate the valve block at the servo valve.
[0038] One end of the vertical pipe 18-2 at the fourth servo valve and the numerical pipe at the third servo valve in a vertical pipe group are respectively connected to the second pelvic plate vertical pipe 1-4 and the first pelvic plate vertical pipe 1-3 of the flow channel group, and their positions correspond to each other. The vertical pipe 18-2 at the fourth servo valve and the vertical pipe 18-3 at the third servo valve have the same structure and dimensions.
[0039] Please see Figure 7The servo valve 19 is located at one end of the valve block at the servo valve location and is mounted on a vertical pipe assembly. The servo valve has a servo valve inlet 19-1, a first servo valve working port 19-2, a servo valve return port 19-3, and a second servo valve working port 19-4, each with its geometric center located at one of the four vertices of the same square. The servo valve inlet 19-1 is connected to the vertical pipe 18-4 of the valve block at the fifth servo valve location, and their central axes coincide. The servo valve return port 19-3 is opposite to and connected to the vertical pipe 18-1 of the valve block at the second servo valve location. The first servo valve working port 19-2 is connected to the vertical pipe of the valve block at the third servo valve location. The second servo valve working port 19-4 is connected to the vertical pipe 18-2 of the valve block at the fourth servo valve location. By controlling the current of the servo valve, one of the first servo valve working ports 19-2 and the second servo valve working port 19-4 is opened and in a working state, while the other is closed. Hydraulic oil enters the servo valve through the servo valve inlet 19-1 and flows out of the servo valve through the second servo valve working port 19-4 or the first servo valve working port 19-2.
[0040] Please see Figure 8 The system comprises two motion structures, each mounted on the pelvic plate, used to drive the movement of the left and right hip joints, respectively. Each motion structure includes a hydraulic cylinder rear end fixing seat 3, a hydraulic cylinder 4, a joint bearing 5, a rack shaft 7, a slider upper plate 8, a linear guide slider 9, a rack 10, a linear guide slide rail 11, a gear 12, a gear cover plate 14, a hydraulic cylinder connecting plate 20, a hydraulic cylinder shaft 21, a pelvic motion connecting plate 22, a crossed roller bearing 23, and a motion washer 24. The hydraulic cylinder rear end fixing seat 3 is mounted on the pelvic plate, and the hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the hydraulic cylinder rear end fixing seat 3. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to the joint bearing 5, which is connected to the slider upper plate 8 via the rack shaft 7. The slider upper plate 8 is connected to the linear guide slider 9, which is mounted on the linear guide slide rail 11. The rack 10 is mounted on the linear guide slider 9, and the gear 12 meshes with the rack 10.
[0041] Two hydraulic cylinder shafts 21 are respectively disposed in the second through hole and the third through hole. The hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 disposed in the second through hole connects the rodless chamber oil passage 1-2 of the hydraulic cylinder to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 disposed in the third through hole connects the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder to the rod chamber oil passage 1-6 of the hydraulic cylinder. The end of the hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 away from the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the hydraulic cylinder connecting plate 20. The crossed roller bearing 23 is disposed in the first through hole, one end of which is connected to the pelvic movement connecting plate 22, and the other end is connected to the gear cover plate 14. The movement washer 24 is sleeved on the crossed roller bearing 23, the gear is connected to the crossed roller bearing 23, and the movement washer 24 is located between the crossed roller bearing 23 and the gear.
[0042] The hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 is stepped, and has a first connecting pipe 21-1 and a second connecting pipe 21-2. The first connecting pipe 21-1 is arranged along the axial direction of the hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 and intersects the second connecting pipe 21-2 perpendicularly. The second connecting pipe 21-2 passes radially through the hydraulic cylinder shaft 21. The hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 is connected to the rodless chamber oil passage pipe 1-2 or the rod chamber oil passage pipe 1-6 of the hydraulic cylinder through the second connecting pipe 21-2, and is connected to the rodless chamber or the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through the first connecting pipe 21-1.
[0043] When the right hip joint moves in the yaw direction, connected to the tubular pelvic structure, the hydraulic connector 17 is connected to the main oil inlet 16-1, the pelvic structure oil inlet pipe 16-4 is connected to the valve block oil inlet pipe 18-8 at the servo valve, and the pelvic structure return oil pipe 16-5 is connected to the pelvic plate return oil pipe 1-1. The rod-side oil passage pipe 1-6 of the hydraulic cylinder intersects with the vertical pipe 1-3 of the first pelvic plate, the rodless-side oil passage pipe 1-2 of the hydraulic cylinder intersects with the vertical pipe 1-4 of the second pelvic plate, and the pelvic plate return oil pipe 1-1 intersects with the vertical pipe 1-5 of the third pelvic plate. The vertical pipe 18-7 of the valve block at the first servo valve is connected to the vertical pipe 1-5 of the third pelvic plate; the servo valve inlet pipe 18-6 and the servo valve return pipe 18-5 intersect with the vertical pipe 18-4 of the valve block at the fifth servo valve and the vertical pipe 18-1 of the valve block at the second servo valve, respectively; the vertical pipe 18-4 of the valve block at the fifth servo valve and the vertical pipe 18-1 of the valve block at the second servo valve are connected to the servo valve inlet port 19-1 and the servo valve return port 19-3, respectively. The working port 19-2 of the first servo valve and the working port 19-4 of the second servo valve are connected to the vertical pipe 1-3 of the first pelvic plate and the vertical pipe 18-1 of the valve block at the second servo valve through the vertical pipe 18-3 of the valve block at the third servo valve and the vertical pipe 18-2 of the valve block at the fourth servo valve. Oil from the rodless chamber oil passage 1-2 and the rod chamber oil passage 1-6 of the hydraulic cylinder flows into the hydraulic cylinder through the first connecting pipe 21-1 and the second connecting pipe 21-2 in the two hydraulic cylinder shafts 21, respectively. The oil passage connection for the left hip joint during yaw movement is the same as that on the right side, and will not be elaborated here.
[0044] The right hip joint rotates externally in the yaw direction, and the oil passages between connected parts are sealed with a sealing ring. For example... Figure 1As shown, hydraulic oil flows from the oil tank into the hydraulic connector 17 and then into the inlet / return valve block 16. It then flows into the pelvic structure through the main inlet pipe 16-3 and the pelvic structure inlet pipe 16-4. The inlet / return valve block 16 is connected to the servo valve block via a sealing ring. Hydraulic oil flows from the pelvic structure inlet pipe 16-4 into the servo valve inlet pipe 18-8, and then into the servo valve inlet port 19-1 via the servo valve inlet pipe 18-6. By controlling the current of the servo valve, the servo valve distributes hydraulic oil to flow out from the second servo valve working port 19-4, which then flows into the rodless chamber oil passage pipe 1-2 of the hydraulic cylinder through the servo valve block. The rodless chamber oil passage pipe 1-2 is connected to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder via the hydraulic cylinder shaft 21. Hydraulic oil entering the rodless chamber pushes the piston rod to move linearly to the right. Simultaneously, the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber returns to the working port 19-2 of the first servo valve through the rod chamber oil passage 1-6 of the hydraulic cylinder, then flows from the servo valve return port 19-3 into the servo valve return oil passage 18-5 to the pelvic plate return oil passage 1-1, and finally returns to the oil tank through the pelvic structure return oil passage 16-5 and the main return oil passage 16-2. During this process, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder pushes the joint bearing 5, the upper slider plate 8, and the linear guide slider 9 to move linearly to the right along the linear guide rail 11. The rack meshes with the gear, and the rack's linear movement to the right drives the gear to rotate clockwise. The gear is connected to the pelvic motion connecting plate 22 and supported by the crossed roller bearing 23, realizing the external rotation of the right hip joint in the yaw direction.
[0045] The right hip joint rotates internally in the yaw direction. The hydraulic oil flows from the tank into the servo valve inlet 19-1 of the servo valve, following the same principle as the external rotation movement. At this time, the current controlling the servo valve causes hydraulic oil to flow out from the first servo valve working port 19-2 and enter the rod chamber oil passage 1-6 of the hydraulic cylinder in the pelvic plate. The hydraulic oil enters the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through the hydraulic cylinder shaft 21 and pushes the piston rod to the left. The hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder returns to the second servo valve working port 19-4 of the servo valve through the rodless chamber oil passage 1-2. The servo valve distributes hydraulic oil, which flows out from the servo valve return port 19-3. The hydraulic oil returns to the tank from the servo valve return port 19-3, following the same principle as the external rotation movement. Simultaneously, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder transmits the leftward linear motion to the rack, achieving internal rotation of the right hip joint in the yaw direction through the meshing of the rack and gear. The internal and external rotation of the left hip joint in the yaw direction follows the same principle as the right side, and will not be elaborated here.
[0046] The present invention also provides a bipedal hydraulically driven robot, the bipedal hydraulically driven robot including the tubeless pelvic structure, upper body structure and lower body structure as described above, the tubeless pelvic structure connecting the upper body structure and the lower body structure.
[0047] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
