TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a mouth structure of a robot and the robot. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of the robot industry, service robots are also rapidly developing. As a kind of service robot, humanoid robots have similar external features to humans, and can perform some simple human-like basic actions while serving people. Psychologists have found that when people express emotions, language only accounts for 7% of the content, and tone can only account for 38% of the content, while 55% of the content is expressed by human expressions and actions. Therefore, it is increasingly important to study the facial expression control and expression implementation method of humanoid robots.
[0003] Among them, the mouth movement is essential in the speech expression of humanoid robots. At present, most of the lips of humanoid robots only have a chin movement mechanism, which can only make simple lip opening and closing actions, and cannot make speaking mouth shapes, and the realism of reproducing human mouth action is low. Although some applicants have developed humanoid robots that can reproduce speaking mouth shapes, the mouth control mechanism still has problems such as slow mouth shape change speed and small change range.

Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0082] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of the template herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0083] As Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the drawings, some embodiments of the present application provide a mouth structure of a robot, mainly applied to a robot, to control the shape of the robot's lips through the mouth structure of the robot, improve the diversity of the shape of the robot's lips, improve the frequency of the shape change of the robot's lips, and increase the flexibility of the shape change of the robot's lips.
[0084] The mouth structure of the robot comprises a lip body, an upper lip control assembly 100, a lower lip control assembly 200 and a corner of mouth control assembly 300.
[0085] The lip body comprises an upper lip part and a lower lip part, the upper lip part comprises a first upper lip peak, an upper lip valley and a second upper lip peak, the lower lip part comprises a first lower lip peak, a lip groove and a second lower lip peak, and the upper lip part and the lower lip part define a first corner of mouth and a second corner of mouth. It should be noted that the upper lip part corresponds to the upper lip part of the human lip, the lower lip part corresponds to the lower lip part of the human lip, the first upper lip peak corresponds to the left upper lip peak of the human lip, the second upper lip peak corresponds to the right upper lip peak of the human lip, the upper lip valley corresponds to the upper lip valley of the human lip, the first lower lip peak corresponds to the left lower lip peak of the human lip, the second lower lip peak corresponds to the right lower lip peak of the human lip, the lip groove corresponds to the lip groove of the human lip, the first corner of mouth corresponds to the left corner of mouth of the human lip, and the second corner of mouth corresponds to the right corner of mouth of the human lip.
[0086] The upper lip control assembly 100 comprises a first upper lip peak control device 110, a second upper lip peak control device 120 and an upper lip valley control device 130, and the upper lip valley control device 130 is arranged between the first upper lip peak control device 110 and the second upper lip peak control device 120.
[0087] The output end of the first upper lip peak control device 110 is connected with the first upper lip peak, so as to control the first upper lip peak to move along a first direction when the first upper lip peak control device 110 is operated.
[0088] In addition, the output end of the second upper lip peak control device 120 is connected with the second upper lip peak, so as to control the second upper lip peak of the upper lip to move along a second direction when the second upper lip peak control device 120 is operated.
[0089] The output end of the upper lip valley control device 130 is connected with the upper lip valley, so as to control the upper lip valley to move along a third direction when the upper lip valley control device 130 is operated.
[0090] It should be noted that the included angle between the first direction and the third direction is equal to the included angle between the second direction and the third direction, so that the frequency of the movement and change of the first upper lip peak and the frequency of the movement and change of the second upper lip peak are completely symmetrical in the process of controlling the first upper lip peak and the second upper lip peak by the first upper lip peak control device 110 and the second upper lip peak control device 120 respectively, so as to ensure the symmetry between the change forms of the first upper lip peak and the second upper lip peak, so as to avoid the difference in the change form of the upper lip part.
[0091] It can be understood that six changeable shapes of the upper lip part of the robot can be realized by running any one of the first upper lip peak control device 110, the second upper lip peak control device 120 and the upper lip valley control device 130. It should be noted that each changeable shape refers to multiple changeable shapes in one direction, that is, each of the six changeable shapes has multiple changeable shapes.
[0092] For example, when the first upper lip peak control device 110 is running, the first upper lip peak can move in the first direction, in which the first upper lip peak can move towards the lower lip part and can also move away from the lower lip part, that is, the first upper lip peak can move in two opposite directions in the first direction, thereby realizing the control of two changeable shapes of the first upper lip peak in the first direction. Further, the moving distance of the first upper lip peak in the first direction is controlled by the first upper lip peak control device 110, thereby realizing the control of multiple changeable shapes of the first upper lip peak in the first direction.
[0093] For example, when the second upper lip peak control device 120 is running, the changeable shape principle of the second upper lip peak is the same as that of the first upper lip peak, that is, multiple changeable shapes of the second upper lip peak in the second direction can be realized by the second upper lip peak control device 120.
[0094] For example, when the upper lip valley control device 130 is running, the upper lip valley can move in the third direction, in which the upper lip valley can move towards the lower lip part and can also move away from the lower lip part, that is, the upper lip valley can move in two opposite directions in the third direction, thereby realizing the control of two changeable shapes of the upper lip valley in the third direction. Further, the moving distance of the upper lip valley in the third direction is controlled by the upper lip valley control device 130, thereby realizing the control of multiple changeable shapes of the upper lip valley in the third direction.
[0095] In addition, when any two of the first upper lip peak control device 110, the second upper lip peak control device 120 and the upper lip valley control device 130 are running, three changeable shapes of the upper lip part of the robot can be realized.
[0096] For example, when the first upper lip peak control device 110 and the upper lip valley control device 130 operate simultaneously, the first upper lip peak control device 110 controls the movement of the first upper lip peak along a first direction, while the upper lip valley control device 130 controls the movement of the upper lip valley along a third direction, thereby achieving control over the shape of the upper lip. For instance, when both the first upper lip peak and the upper lip valley move away from the lower lip, one shape of the upper lip is controlled. Here, by controlling the movement distance of the first upper lip peak and the upper lip valley, multiple variations of the upper lip shape are controlled. When both the first upper lip peak and the upper lip valley move closer to the lower lip, another shape of the upper lip is controlled. By controlling the movement distance of the first upper lip peak and the upper lip valley, multiple variations of the upper lip shape are controlled. When the first upper lip peak moves closer to the lower lip and the upper lip valley moves away from the lower lip, another variation of the upper lip can be controlled. By controlling the movement distance of the upper lip valley and the first upper lip peak, multiple variations of the upper lip can be controlled.
[0097] For example, when the second upper lip peak control device 120 and the upper lip valley control device 130 are running simultaneously, the change in the shape of the upper lip is the same as the principle when the first upper lip peak control device 110 and the upper lip valley control device 130 are running simultaneously, and will not be described in detail here.
[0098] For example, when the first upper lip peak control device 110 and the second upper lip peak control device 120 are running simultaneously, the control principle of the upper lip's changing shape is the same as the control principle of the upper lip's changing shape when the first upper lip peak control device 110 and the upper lip valley control device 130 are running simultaneously, and will not be described in detail here.
[0099] Furthermore, when the first upper lip peak control device 110, the second upper lip peak control device 120 and the upper lip valley control device 130 operate simultaneously, they can simultaneously control the first upper lip peak, the second upper lip peak and the upper lip valley, thereby achieving control over multiple changing forms of the upper lip.
[0100] Exemplarily, the first upper lip peak and the upper lip valley are both moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part, the second upper lip peak is moved away from the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak and the upper lip valley are both moved away from the lower lip part, the second upper lip peak is moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak, the second upper lip peak and the upper lip valley are all moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak, the second upper lip peak and the upper lip valley are all moved away from the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak is moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part, the second upper lip peak and the upper lip valley are moved away from the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak is moved away from the lower lip part, the second upper lip peak and the upper lip valley are moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak and the second upper lip peak are moved away from the lower lip part, the upper lip valley is moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part; or the first upper lip peak and the second upper lip peak are moved towards the direction close to the lower lip part, the upper lip valley is moved away from the lower lip part; so as to realize the control of multiple morphologies of the upper lip part. Further, by controlling the moving distance of the first upper lip peak, the second upper lip peak and the upper lip valley, the control of multiple change morphologies of the upper lip part is further realized, so as to further improve the variety and morphology change efficiency of the change morphologies of the upper lip part of the robot, so as to realize the fine degree of control of the change morphologies of the upper lip part of the robot.
[0101] The lower lip control assembly 200 comprises a first lower lip peak control device 210, a second lower lip peak control device 220 and a lip groove control device 230, wherein the lip groove control device 230 is arranged between the first lower lip peak control device 210 and the second lower lip peak control device 220, and the first lower lip peak control device 210, the second lower lip peak control device 220 and the lip groove control device 230 are used to realize the control of different change morphologies of the lower lip part.
[0102] Specifically, the output end of the first lower lip peak control device 210 is connected with the first lower lip peak to control the first lower lip peak of the lower lip to move along the fourth direction.
[0103] Exemplarily, when the first lower lip peak control device 210 operates, the first lower lip peak can move along the fourth direction, so as to realize the control of one change morphology of the lower lip part. It should be noted that the first lower lip peak can move along two opposite directions in the fourth direction, that is, along the fourth direction, the first lower lip peak can be controlled to move towards the side close to the upper lip part or the first lower lip peak can be controlled to move away from the side close to the upper lip part through the first lower lip peak control device 210, so as to realize the control of two morphologies in two directions of the first lower lip peak. Further, by controlling the moving distance of the first lower lip peak along the fourth direction through the first lower lip peak control device 210, the control of multiple change morphologies of the first lower lip peak is realized, so as to realize the control of multiple change morphologies of the lower lip part.
[0104] Additionally, an output end of the second lower lip peak control device 220 is connected with the second lower lip peak to control the second lower lip peak to move along a fifth direction.
[0105] For example, when the second lower lip peak control device 220 is operated, the second lower lip peak can move along the fifth direction, thereby achieving control of another changeable shape of the lower lip part. It should be noted that the principle of changing the shape of the second lower lip peak is the same as that of the first lower lip peak, and will not be repeated here. It can be understood that the moving distance of the second lower lip peak along the fifth direction is controlled by the second lower lip peak control device 220 to achieve control of multiple changeable shapes of the second lower lip peak, thereby achieving control of multiple changeable shapes of the lower lip part.
[0106] The output end of the lip groove control device 230 is connected with the lip groove to control the lip groove to move along a sixth direction.
[0107] Specifically, when the lip groove control device 230 is operated, the lip groove can move along the sixth direction, thereby achieving control of another changeable shape of the lower lip part. It should be noted that the lip groove can move along two opposite directions along the sixth direction, that is, along the sixth direction, the lip groove can be controlled to move to the side close to the upper lip part by the lip groove control device 230 or the lip groove can be controlled to move to the side away from the upper lip part by the lip groove control device 230, thereby achieving control of two shapes in two directions of the lip groove. Further, the moving distance of the lip groove along the sixth direction is controlled by the lip groove control device 230 to achieve control of multiple changeable shapes of the lip groove, thereby achieving control of multiple changeable shapes of the lower lip part.
[0108] It should be noted that the included angle between the fourth direction and the sixth direction is equal to the included angle between the fifth direction and the sixth direction, so that the frequency of movement and change of the first lower lip peak and the second lower lip peak can be completely symmetrical in the process of controlling the first lower lip peak and the second lower lip peak by the first lower lip peak control device 210 and the second lower lip peak control device 220 respectively, so as to ensure the symmetry between the changeable shapes of the first lower lip peak and the second lower lip peak to avoid differences in the changeable shapes of the lower lip part.
[0109] It can be understood that when any one of the first lower lip peak control device 210, the second lower lip peak control device 220 and the lip groove control device 230 is operated, six changeable shapes of the lower lip part of the robot can be achieved. It should be noted that each changeable shape refers to multiple changeable shapes in one direction, that is, each of the six changeable shapes has multiple changeable shapes.
[0110] Exemplarily, when any two of the first lower lip peak control device 210, the second lower lip peak control device 220 and the labial sulcus control device 230 are operated, three changed forms of the lower lip part of the robot can be realized.
[0111] Exemplarily, when the first lower lip peak control device 210 and the labial sulcus control device 230 are operated simultaneously, the first lower lip peak is controlled to move along the fourth direction by the first lower lip peak control device 210, and the labial sulcus is controlled to move along the sixth direction by the labial sulcus control device 230, so as to realize the control of the lower lip part form, for example, when the first lower lip peak and the labial sulcus are both moved away from the lower lip part, so as to realize the control of one form of the lower lip part, and the control of multiple changed forms of the lower lip part is realized by controlling the moving distance of the first lower lip peak and the labial sulcus. When the first lower lip peak and the labial sulcus are both moved towards the lower lip part, so as to realize the control of another form of the lower lip part, and the control of multiple changed forms of the lower lip part is realized by controlling the moving distance of the first lower lip peak and the labial sulcus. When the first lower lip peak is moved towards the lower lip part, and the labial sulcus is moved away from the lower lip part, so as to realize the control of another changed form of the lower lip part, and the control of multiple changed forms of the lower lip part is realized by controlling the moving distance of the labial sulcus and the first lower lip peak.
[0112] Exemplarily, when the second lower lip peak control device 220 and the labial sulcus control device 230 are operated simultaneously, the changed form of the lower lip part is the same as that when the first lower lip peak control device 210 and the labial sulcus control device 230 are operated simultaneously, which will not be repeated here.
[0113] Exemplarily, when the first lower lip peak control device 210 and the second lower lip peak control device 220 are operated simultaneously, the control principle of the changed form of the lower lip part is the same as that when the first lower lip peak control device 210 and the labial sulcus control device 230 are operated simultaneously, which will not be repeated here.
[0114] Further, when the first lower lip peak control device 210, the second lower lip peak control device 220 and the labial sulcus control device 230 are operated simultaneously, the control of the first lower lip peak, the second lower lip peak and the labial sulcus is realized, so as to realize the control of multiple changed forms of the lower lip part.
[0115] For example, the first lower lip peak and the labial groove are both moved towards the upper lip, the second lower lip peak is moved away from the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak and the labial groove are both moved away from the upper lip, the second lower lip peak is moved towards the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak, the second lower lip peak and the labial groove are all moved towards the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak, the second lower lip peak and the labial groove are all moved away from the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak is moved towards the upper lip, the second lower lip peak and the labial groove are moved away from the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak is moved away from the upper lip, the second lower lip peak and the labial groove are moved towards the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak and the second lower lip peak are moved away from the upper lip, the labial groove is moved towards the upper lip; or the first lower lip peak and the second lower lip peak are moved towards the upper lip, the labial groove is moved away from the upper lip; so as to realize the control of multiple forms of the lower lip. Further, by controlling the moving distance of the first lower lip peak, the second lower lip peak and the labial groove, the control of multiple changed forms of the lower lip is further realized, so as to further improve the variety and form change efficiency of the changed form of the lower lip of the robot, and the precision of the control of the changed form of the lower lip of the robot is realized.
[0116] It should be noted that the upper lip control assembly and the lower lip control assembly can realize the control of different forms of the upper lip and the lower lip, realize the variety, control precision and control efficiency of the control of the forms of the upper lip and the lower lip, realize the flexibility of the control of the forms of the lips, and realize the requirements of the robot for different mouth shape changes.
[0117] In the embodiment, the mouth corner control assembly 300 includes a first mouth corner control device 310 and a second mouth corner control device 320. It should be noted that the first mouth corner control device 310 is arranged at a position corresponding to the left cheek in the head of the robot, and the second mouth corner control device 320 is arranged at a position corresponding to the right cheek in the head of the robot.
[0118] The output end of the first mouth corner control device 310 is connected with the first mouth corner to control the movement of the first mouth corner. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the first mouth corner control device 310 can control the first mouth corner to move towards the upper lip, or control the first mouth corner to move towards the lower lip, or control the first mouth corner to move towards the position corresponding to the left cheek in the head of the robot, or control the first mouth corner to move away from the position corresponding to the left cheek in the head of the robot, so as to realize the control of multiple directions of the first mouth corner. Further, by controlling the moving distance of the first mouth corner by the first mouth corner control device 310, the variety and precision of the control of the changed form of the first mouth corner are realized, so as to further improve the flexibility of the control of the first mouth corner.
[0119] In addition, the output end of the second corner of the mouth control device 320 is connected with the second corner of the mouth to control the movement of the second corner of the mouth. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the control principle of the second corner of the mouth by the second corner of the mouth control device 320 is the same as the control principle of the first corner of the mouth by the first corner of the mouth control device 310, which will not be described here.
[0120] It can be understood that the upper lip control assembly 100, the lower lip control assembly 200 and the corner of the mouth control assembly 300 can control the lip body in multiple forms, and the movement distance of the lip body is adjusted to improve the accuracy of the control of the change form of the lip body, the diversity of the form change and the change efficiency, thereby further improving the flexibility of the control of the lip body to meet the expression needs of the lip body of the robot to different mouth shapes and emotions, thereby meeting the requirements of the lip of the robot to the expression accuracy of different mouth shapes.
[0121] As shown in Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the first corner of the mouth control device 310 includes a first driving motor 311, a first swing arm 312, a first connecting rod 313, a first connecting portion 314, a second connecting rod 315, a second swing arm 316 and a second driving motor 317.
[0122] Specifically, one end of the first swing arm 312 is connected with the output end of the first driving motor 311. It should be noted that the first swing arm 312 is a linear swing arm, and the first swing arm 312 is perpendicular to the axis of the output end of the first driving motor 311, so as to control the first swing arm 312 to rotate along the axis of the output end of the first driving motor 311 by the first driving motor 311. At the same time, the other end of the first swing arm 312 is rotatably connected with one end of the first connecting rod 313, so that the first swing arm 312 can drive the first connecting rod 313 to swing in the process of rotation.
[0123] In addition, one end of the second swing arm 316 is connected with the output end of the second driving motor 317. It should be noted that the second swing arm 316 is a linear swing arm, and the second swing arm 316 is perpendicular to the axis of the output end of the second driving motor 317, so as to control the second swing arm 316 to rotate along the axis of the output end of the second driving motor 317 by the second driving motor 317. At the same time, the other end of the second swing arm 316 is rotatably connected with one end of the second connecting rod 315, so that the second swing arm 316 can drive the second connecting rod 315 to swing in the process of rotation.
[0124] Further, the other end of the first connecting rod 313 and the other end of the second connecting rod 315 are rotationally connected through the first connecting portion 314, so that the first driving motor 311 and the second driving motor 317 can drive the first connecting portion 314 to move through the first connecting rod 313 and the second connecting rod 315 during operation.
[0125] Specifically, when the first driving motor 311 is started, the first swing arm 312 is driven to rotate through the output end of the first driving motor 311, so that the first connecting rod 313 is swung on an arc formed by the axis of the first driving motor 311 as the center and the length of the first swing arm 312 as the radius during rotation of the first swing arm 312. At this time, since the second driving motor 317 is in a stationary state, that is, the second swing arm 316 is in a stationary state, when the first connecting rod 313 swings, the first connecting portion 314 can be driven to move, so that the second connecting rod 315 is driven to rotate along the axis of the connecting portion between the second swing arm 316 and the second connecting rod 315 through the first connecting portion 314 as the first connecting portion 314 swings.
[0126] In addition, when the second driving motor 317 is started, the second swing arm 316 is driven to rotate through the output end of the second driving motor 317, so that the second connecting rod 315 is swung on an arc formed by the axis of the second driving motor 317 as the center and the length of the second swing arm 316 as the radius during rotation of the second swing arm 316. At this time, since the first driving motor 311 is in a stationary state, that is, the first swing arm 312 is in a stationary state, when the second connecting rod 315 swings, the first connecting portion 314 can be driven to move, so that the first connecting rod 313 is driven to rotate along the axis of the connecting portion between the first swing arm 312 and the first connecting rod 313 through the first connecting portion 314 as the second connecting portion 324 swings.
[0127] In the present embodiment, the first connecting portion 314 is arranged at the first corner of the mouth, so that the first corner of the mouth is driven to move through the first connecting portion 314.
[0128] It can be understood that by controlling the rotation speed and rotation direction of the output end of the first driving motor 311, the swing speed and swing direction of the first connecting rod 313 are adjusted, so that the moving direction and moving speed of the first connecting portion 314 are controlled, thereby achieving control of the moving direction and moving speed of the first corner of the mouth. By controlling the rotation speed and rotation direction of the output end of the second driving motor 317, the swing speed and swing direction of the second connecting rod 315 are adjusted, so that the moving direction and moving speed of the first connecting portion 314 are controlled, thereby achieving control of the moving direction and moving speed of the first corner of the mouth.
[0129] Further, when the first driving motor 311 and the second driving motor 317 operate at the same time, by adjusting the rotating direction and rotating speed of the first swing arm 312 and the second swing arm 316, the moving direction, moving speed and moving distance of the first connecting part 314 are further controlled, the first mouth corner is driven to move by the first connecting part 314, the moving direction, moving speed and moving distance of the first mouth corner are controlled, and the diversity, accuracy and flexibility of the shape change of the first mouth corner are improved.
[0130] As shown in Figure 6 the second mouth corner control device comprises a third driving motor 321, a third swing arm 322, a third connecting rod 323, a second connecting part 324, a fourth connecting rod 325, a fourth swing arm 326 and a fourth driving motor 327.
[0131] Specifically, one end of the third swing arm 322 is connected with the output end of the third driving motor 321, and it should be noted that the third swing arm 322 is a linear swing arm, and the third swing arm 322 is perpendicular to the axis of the output end of the third driving motor 321, so as to control the third swing arm 322 to rotate along the axis of the output end of the third driving motor 321. At the same time, the other end of the third swing arm 322 is rotationally connected with one end of the third connecting rod 323, so that the third swing arm 322 can drive the third connecting rod 323 to swing in the process of rotation.
[0132] In addition, one end of the fourth swing arm 326 is connected with the output end of the fourth driving motor 327, and it should be noted that the fourth swing arm 326 is a linear swing arm, and the fourth swing arm 326 is perpendicular to the axis of the output end of the fourth driving motor 327, so as to control the fourth swing arm 326 to rotate along the axis of the output end of the fourth driving motor 327. At the same time, the other end of the fourth swing arm 326 is rotationally connected with one end of the fourth connecting rod 325, so that the fourth swing arm 326 can drive the fourth connecting rod 325 to swing in the process of rotation.
[0133] Further, the other end of the third connecting rod 323 and the other end of the fourth connecting rod 325 are connected through the second connecting part 324, so that the third driving motor 321 and the fourth driving motor 327 can drive the second connecting part 324 to move in the process of operation through the third connecting rod 323 and the fourth connecting rod 325.
[0134] Specifically, when the third driving motor 321 starts, the third swing arm 322 is driven to rotate by the output end of the third driving motor 321, and the swing principle of the third swing arm 322 is the same as that of the first swing arm 312, which will not be described here.
[0135] In addition, when the fourth drive motor 327 is driven, the fourth swing arm 326 is rotated through the output end of the fourth drive motor 327. The swing principle of the fourth swing arm 326 is the same as that of the second swing arm 316, and the movement principle of the second connecting part 324 is the same as that of the first connecting part 314. These will not be described in detail here.
[0136] In this embodiment, the second connecting part 324 is disposed at the second corner of the mouth so that the second corner of the mouth can be moved by the second connecting part 324.
[0137] It is understandable that by controlling the rotational speed and direction of the output end of the third drive motor 321, the swing speed and direction of the third link 323 are adjusted, thereby controlling the moving direction and speed of the second connecting part 324, thus achieving control over the moving direction and speed of the second corner of the mouth. Similarly, by controlling the rotational speed and direction of the output end of the fourth drive motor 327, the swing speed and direction of the fourth link 325 are adjusted, thereby controlling the moving direction and speed of the second connecting part 324, thus achieving control over the moving direction and speed of the second corner of the mouth.
[0138] Furthermore, when the third drive motor 321 and the fourth drive motor 327 operate simultaneously, they can drive the second corner of the mouth to move through the second connecting part 324, thereby controlling the direction, speed and distance of movement of the second corner of the mouth, thus improving the diversity, accuracy and flexibility of the shape changes of the second corner of the mouth.
[0139] It is understandable that by controlling the rotation direction, rotation speed, and number of starts of the output ends of the first drive motor 311, the second drive motor 317, the third drive motor 321, and the fourth drive motor 327, the diversity, precision, and flexibility of the control over the shape changes of the first and second corners of the mouth can be achieved.
[0140] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first upper lip peak control device 110 includes a first upper lip drive motor 111, a fifth swing arm 112, a first connector 113, a first limiting member 114, a first return spring 115, and a third connecting part 116. The first upper lip drive motor 111 is a servo motor.
[0141] Specifically, one end of the fifth swing arm 112 is connected with the output shaft of the first upper lip driving motor 111, the fifth swing arm 112 is perpendicular to the axis of the first upper lip driving motor 111, and the fifth swing arm 112 can rotate along the output shaft of the first upper lip driving motor 111. Meanwhile, the other end of the fifth swing arm 112 is connected with one end of the first connecting piece 113, so that the first connecting piece 113 can move along with the movement of the fifth swing arm 112, and the other end of the first connecting piece 113 is connected with the third connecting part 116 through the first limiting part 114, so as to limit the first connecting piece 113 through the first limiting part 114, and meanwhile, the third connecting part 116 is moved by the first connecting piece 113 in the process of movement.
[0142] The third connecting part 116 is connected with the first upper lip peak, so as to drive the first upper lip peak to move along the first direction through the third connecting part 116.
[0143] In addition, one end of the first reset spring 115 abuts against the third connecting part 116, and the other end of the first reset spring 115 abuts against the side of the first limiting part 114 which faces the third connecting part 116, so that the first upper lip peak can restore the initial state under the elastic force of the first reset spring 115.
[0144] Specifically, in the embodiment, the rotation speed and rotation direction of the first upper lip driving motor 111 are controlled, and the movement speed, movement direction and movement distance of the first connecting piece 113 are controlled, so as to control the movement speed, movement distance and movement direction of the third connecting part 116, and thus the shape change of the first upper lip peak is controlled.
[0145] It should be noted that when the third connecting part 116 drives the first upper lip peak to move away from the lower lip part, at this time, the first reset spring 115 is compressed between the third connecting part 116 and the first limiting part 114, and stores elastic potential energy. It can be understood that when the first upper lip driving motor 111 controls the first connecting piece 113 to move towards the lower lip part, at this time, the third connecting part 116 is pushed to move towards the lower lip part under the elastic force of the first reset spring 115, so as to restore the initial state of the first upper lip peak.
[0146] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present application, the second upper lip peak control device 120 includes a second upper lip driving motor 121, a sixth swing arm 122, a second connecting piece 123, a second limiting part 124, a second reset spring 125 and a fourth connecting part 126. The second upper lip driving motor 121 is a rudder.
[0147] Specifically, one end of the sixth swing arm 122 is connected to the output shaft of the second upper lip drive motor 121. The sixth swing arm 122 is perpendicular to the axis of the second upper lip drive motor 121 and can rotate along the output shaft of the second upper lip drive motor 121. Simultaneously, the other end of the sixth swing arm 122 is connected to one end of the second connecting member 123, so that the second connecting member 123 can move with the movement of the sixth swing arm 122. The other end of the second connecting member 123 passes through the second limiting member 124 and connects to the fourth connecting part 126, so that the second limiting member 124 limits the movement of the second connecting member 123, and simultaneously, the second connecting member 123 drives the fourth connecting part 126 to move during its movement.
[0148] The fourth connecting part 126 is used to connect with the second upper lip peak so as to drive the second upper lip peak to move along the second direction through the fourth connecting part 126.
[0149] In addition, one end of the second return spring 125 abuts against the fourth connecting portion 126, and the other end of the second return spring 125 abuts against the side of the second limiting member 124 facing the fourth connecting portion 126, so that the second upper lip peak can return to its initial state under the elastic force of the second return spring 125.
[0150] Specifically, in this embodiment, by controlling the rotation speed and rotation direction of the second upper lip drive motor 121, the moving speed, moving direction and moving distance of the second connector 123 are controlled, thereby controlling the moving speed, moving distance and moving direction of the fourth connector 126, and thus controlling the shape change of the second upper lip peak.
[0151] It should be noted that when the fourth connecting part 126 moves the second upper lip peak away from the lower lip, the second return spring 125 is compressed between the fourth connecting part 126 and the second limiting member 124, storing elastic potential energy. It can be understood that when the second upper lip drive motor 121 controls the second connecting member 123 to move closer to the lower lip, the elastic force of the second return spring 125 pushes the fourth connecting part 126 to move closer to the lower lip, thereby restoring the second upper lip peak to its initial state.
[0152] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the upper lip valley control device 130 includes an upper lip valley drive motor 131, a seventh swing arm 132, a fifth connecting rod 133, a first transmission structure 134, and a fifth connecting part 135. The upper lip valley drive motor 131 is a servo motor.
[0153] One end of the seventh swing arm 132 is connected with the output end of the upper lip valley driving motor 131, and the other end of the seventh swing arm 132 is rotationally connected with one end of the fifth connecting rod 133, so that the seventh swing arm 132 can drive the fifth connecting rod 133 to swing in the process of rotation. The other end of the fifth connecting rod 133 is connected with the fifth connecting part 135 through the first transmission structure 134, so as to drive the fifth connecting part 135 to move along the three directions through the first transmission structure 134.
[0154] It should be noted that the fifth connecting part 135 is connected with the upper lip valley, so that the fifth connecting part 135 drives the upper lip valley to move synchronously along the third direction in the process of movement. Specifically, the rotation direction, rotation speed and rotation angle of the output end of the upper lip valley driving motor 131 are adjusted, so as to drive the fifth connecting rod 133, the first transmission structure 134 and the fifth connecting part 135 to control the moving distance, moving speed and moving direction of the upper lip valley in the third direction, thereby realizing the control of the speed, change accuracy and flexibility of the form change of the upper lip valley.
[0155] Specifically, the fifth connecting part 135 includes a first connecting rod 135a, a first transmission part 135b and a first supporting part 135c. One end of the first transmission part 135b is connected with one end of the first connecting rod 135a, and the other end of the first transmission part 135b is connected with the first supporting part 135c. The first supporting part 135c is connected with the upper lip valley, so as to drive the upper lip valley to move synchronously through the first supporting part 135c in the process of movement, thereby realizing the control of the form of the upper lip valley.
[0156] The first supporting part 135c includes first and second supporting feet which are spaced apart, and the first and second supporting feet are rotationally connected with the first transmission structure 134, so as to drive the first supporting part 135c to rotate through the first transmission structure 134, thereby enabling the first supporting part 135c to drive the first supporting part 135c to move through the first connecting rod 135a.
[0157] Furthermore, the first transmission structure 134 includes a third limiting member 134a, a first connecting arm 134b, and a first support arm 134c. The first connecting arm 134b is rotatably connected to the side of the third limiting member 134a away from the upper lip valley, so that the first connecting arm 134b can rotate along the axis of the connection between the first connecting arm 134b and the third limiting member 134a. In addition, one end of the first connecting arm 134b is rotatably connected to the end of the fifth link 133 away from the upper lip valley drive motor 131, and the end of the fifth link 133 near the upper lip valley drive motor 131 is rotatably connected to the end of the seventh swing arm 132 away from the upper lip valley drive motor 131.
