[0018] Preferably, two locking components are installed on the front and back of the drive housing, and the locking components are used to lock and fasten the top cover. The locking components include side platforms, with two side platforms located on the front of the drive housing and the other two side platforms located on the back of the drive housing. Two third springs are installed on the top of the side platforms, and short plates are installed on the top of the two third springs. A screw is threaded through the inside of the side platform and passes through the inside of the short plate. A limit block is installed on the top of the screw and is located on the top of the short plate. Four top brackets are installed on the top of the top cover, and a locking plate is installed on one side of the top bracket and is located at the bottom of the short plate.

[0019] The preferred method of using the compact modular robot drive box structure is as follows:

[0020] S1. First, the staff turns off the dust removal component through the control module of the compact modular robot, uses disassembly tools to remove the drive box from the inside of the compact modular robot, and uses a cleaning cloth to clean the output end of the drive motor.

[0021] S2. Then, the worker pulls the protective sleeve upwards, causing it to move out of the inner side of the semi-ring shell. This causes the protective sleeve to move the ring upwards along the fixed rod. The worker then places the protective sleeve on the outer side of the output end of the drive motor and presses the locking block, causing it to move into the inner side of the short shell. At the same time, the worker rotates the protective sleeve, causing the locking block to move the protective sleeve into place via the second spring, the short shell, and the support plate.

[0022] S3. When the staff is inspecting the drive box of the compact modular robot, the staff pulls the pull plate in the disassembly and assembly assembly, and fixes the pull plate by pressing the part bolts between the side frame and the pull plate. The staff fixes the four pull plates in turn, turns the knob to make the top cover move upward along with the short column, pulls the plug upward to move the plug out of the inside of a round hole, rotates the support plate horizontally to make the support plate move the rotating block to move the top cover and the rubber frame away from the top of the drive box, and then inserts the plug into the inside of the round hole in the appropriate position to fix the support plate, so that the staff can carry out the inspection work.

[0023] S4. When the staff is performing maintenance work, the staff moves the partition and inserts the insert plate into the inside of the slot by moving the partition. The staff places the partition inside the tool tray according to the type of parts to be maintained. When the staff maintains the inside of the drive box, small parts need to be disassembled. The staff classifies the disassembled parts according to the type of parts and places them inside the tool tray. When the maintenance is finished, the staff needs to install the small parts. The staff rotates the partition and moves the small parts to the notch position of the tool tray. The staff rotates the flip cover vertically to open the notch of the tool tray and moves the small parts out of the tool tray through the notch. The staff pulls the small parts to install them and installs the drive box into the installation position of the compact modular robot.

[0024] S5. When the compact modular robot is working normally, the operator starts the power motor and micro fan through the control module of the compact modular robot. This causes the thin rod to drive the rotating plate and scraper to rotate vertically. The scraper can contact the heat dissipation vent, causing friction between the scraper and the heat dissipation vent, which cleans the dust adsorbed on the surface of the heat dissipation vent. The operation of the micro fan generates wind force that blows from top to bottom on the inside of the support shell and ventilation shell, causing the wind force to blow the dust out of the inside of the support shell and ventilation shell.

[0025] Preferably, steps S2 and S3 further include the following steps:

[0026] S21. After the maintenance is completed, the staff presses the two locking blocks, so that the locking blocks move into the inside of the short shell under the action of external force, so that most of the locking blocks move out of the inside of the positioning hole. At the same time, the staff rotates the protective sleeve, so that the protective sleeve moves the locking blocks out of the inside of the positioning hole through the support plate, the short shell and the second spring under the action of external force. The staff rotates the protective sleeve and moves the protective sleeve away from the outside of the output end of the drive motor, so that the staff can remove the protective sleeve. The staff moves the protective sleeve to the inside of the semi-ring shell, and at the same time moves the ring to the outside of the fixing rod.

[0027] S31. After the maintenance is completed, the staff pulls out the plug upwards and moves the top cover and rubber frame to the top of the drive box by rotating the support plate horizontally. The plug is inserted into the inside of a round hole, and the knob is turned downwards to make the top cover cooperate with the drive box to squeeze the rubber frame. This causes the top cover to move the side frame and related components downwards to the appropriate position. The staff removes the bolts that are stuck between the side frame and the pull plate, and the first spring uses its own elasticity to drive the plug block to be inserted into the inside of the socket through the pressure plate, thus completing the installation of the top cover.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0029] 1. This invention, through the installation of a disassembly and assembly assembly, allows workers to pull the pull plate within the assembly. By securing the pull plate with bolts, the parts are pressed against the side frame and the pull plate. Workers then secure the four pull plates sequentially, rotate the knob to move it upwards under the threaded support of the support plate, allowing the top cover to move upwards along with the short column. Workers then pull the plug upwards, horizontally rotate the support plate, and move the top cover and rubber frame away from the top of the drive housing. The plug is then inserted into the inner side of a suitable circular hole to secure the support plate, allowing workers to disassemble the top cover. Workers then pull the plug upwards again, horizontally rotate the support plate to move the top cover and rubber frame to the top of the drive housing, insert the plug into the inner side of a circular hole, and turn the knob downwards to remove the bolts that are stuck between the side frame and the pull plate. This allows the first spring to use its own elasticity to drive the plug block into the inner side of the socket through the pressure plate, thus completing the installation of the top cover. This disassembly and assembly assembly facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the drive housing structure of the compact modular robot, thereby shortening the worker's maintenance time.

[0030] 2. This invention, through the installation of a protective component, allows the operator to pull the protective sleeve upwards within the protective component, moving it out of the inner side of the semi-annular shell. The protective sleeve is then placed on the outer side of the output end of the drive motor. Pressing the locking block allows it to move into the inner side of the short shell under external force. When the locking block moves to the position corresponding to the positioning hole, the second spring uses its own elasticity to move the locking block into the positioning hole. The locking block, through the second spring, the short shell, and the support plate, secures the protective sleeve. This protective sleeve protects the output end of the drive motor by enveloping it, thus preventing the output end of the drive motor from being exposed and contaminated.

[0031] 3. This invention features a storage component. Workers can move the partitions within the storage component to insert inserts into slots. Based on the type of parts to be repaired, workers place an appropriate number of partitions inside the tool tray. When repairing the inside of the drive housing, small parts need to be disassembled. Workers categorize and place the disassembled parts inside the tool tray according to their type. When the repair is complete, the small parts need to be reinstalled. Workers rotate the partitions to move the small parts to the notch on the tool tray. The worker then vertically rotates the flip cover, causing the rotating block to rotate under external force, opening the notch on the tool tray and allowing the small parts to be moved out. This facilitates the worker's access to and installation of the small parts, and allows the drive housing to be installed in the mounting position of the compact modular robot. The storage component allows workers to conveniently store the small parts of the compact modular robot drive housing, thus facilitating repair work.

[0032] 4. This invention incorporates a dustproof component. Workers activate the power motor and micro-fan within the dustproof component via the control module of a compact modular robot. The power motor's output rotates, driving a thin rod to rotate, allowing a scraper to clean dust adhering to the heat dissipation vents. As the compact modular robot operates, the generated heat air is expelled through the vents, blowing the cleaned dust outwards. This airflow then blows the dust out of the support and ventilation shells, thus achieving dust prevention. Attached Figure Description

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This invention provides an embodiment of a compact modular robot drive box structure and its usage method, comprising a drive box 1, a disassembly assembly mounted on the top of the drive box 1 for convenient disassembly and assembly of the drive box 1, the disassembly assembly including a top cover 6, the top cover 6 being located on the top of the drive box 1, a rubber frame 7 mounted on the bottom of the top cover 6, the rubber frame 7 contacting the top of the top cover 6, a bottom block 8 mounted on the top of the drive box 1, a circular block 9 mounted on the top of the bottom block 8, seven circular holes 10 formed on the top of the circular block 9, a rotating block 11 mounted on the inner side of the circular block 9, a support plate 12 mounted on the top of the rotating block 11, the support plate 12 being located on the top of the circular block 9, a through hole 13 formed through the interior of the support plate 12, and the support plate 12... A connecting block 14 is installed on one side, and a circular sleeve 15 is installed on one side of the connecting block 14. A plug 16 is installed inside the circular sleeve 15, and the plug 16 is located inside a circular hole 10. A knob 17 is installed through a thread inside the support plate 12. A pressing block 18 is installed at the bottom of the knob 17. A circular shell 19 is installed on the outside of the pressing block 18, and the circular shell 19 is located on the top of the top cover 6. A short post 20 is installed on the top of the top cover 6, and the short post 20 is located inside the through hole 13. The short post 20 is used to support the movement of the top cover 6 through the through hole 13. Two side frames 21 are installed on the front and back of the top cover 6. A hollow shell 22 is installed on one side of the side frame 21. Four first springs 23 are installed inside the hollow shell 22. A pressure plate is installed on one side of the four first springs 23. 24, and the pressure plate 24 is located inside the empty shell 22. A pull plate 25 is installed on one side of the pressure plate 24, and the pull plate 25 penetrates one side of the empty shell 22. An insert block 26 is installed on the other side of the pressure plate 24, and the insert block 26 penetrates the other side of the empty shell 22 and the interior of the side frame 21. The top cover 6 can close the top of the drive housing 1, thereby protecting the components inside the drive housing 1. The rubber frame 7 can support the top cover 6. The bottom block 8 can fix and support the round block 9 under the support of the drive housing 1, so that the round block 9 can support the components associated with it. The round block 9 can provide rotation space for the rotating block 11, so that the rotating block 11 can rotate and support the support plate 12. The through hole 13 can provide space for the short column 2. The 0 provides movement space. The connecting block 14, supported by the support plate 12, can support the circular sleeve 15. The circular shell 19 can provide rotation space for the extrusion block 18, so that the extrusion block 18 can support the knob 17 to rotate under the action of external force. The short column 20 can support the top cover 6 to move stably under the action of external force. The side frame 21 can provide fixed support for the empty shell 22. When the operator performs maintenance work on the drive box 1 of the compact modular robot, the operator pulls the pull plate 25 in the disassembly and assembly assembly, so that the pull plate 25 can drive the pressure plate 24 to move along the inner side of the empty shell 22 under the action of external force, so that the pressure plate 24 can drive the insertion block 26 to move under the action of external force, so that the insertion block 26 can move out of the inner side of the insertion port 5.To prevent the insert block 26 from being fixed to one end of the top cover 6 via the insert 5 and the side frame 21, the operator secures the pull plate 25 by pressing the part bolts between the side frame 21 and the pull plate 25. The operator then secures all four pull plates 25 sequentially, freeing the four side frames 21 from fixing the top cover 6. The operator then rotates the knob 17, causing it to move upwards under the threaded support of the support plate 12. Under external force, the knob 17 drives the pressing block 18 to rotate as well. The top cover 6 can be moved upward by the pressing block 18 and the round shell 19, so that the top cover 6 can move the short column 20 upward together. The operator pulls the plug 16 upward, so that the plug 16 can move out of the inside of the round hole 10, so that the plug 16 is no longer fixed to the support plate 12 by the round sleeve 15 and the connecting block 14. The operator rotates the support plate 12 horizontally, so that the support plate 12 can drive the rotating block 11 to rotate under the action of external force, so that the support plate 12 can be rotated by the knob 17 and the pressing block. 18 and the round shell 19 drive the top cover 6 and related components to rotate horizontally together, allowing the top cover 6 to move the rubber frame 7 away from the top of the drive housing 1. Then, the bolt 16 is inserted into the inner side of the round hole 10 at the appropriate position to fix the support plate 12, allowing the operator to remove the top cover 6 to inspect the inside of the drive housing 1. After the inspection is completed, the operator pulls out the bolt 16 upwards and moves the top cover 6 and the rubber frame 7 to the top of the drive housing 1 by rotating the support plate 12 horizontally. Insert the plug 16 into the inside of a round hole 10, and turn the knob 17 downwards. This causes the top cover 6 to work with the drive housing 1 to press against the rubber frame 7 under external force. This allows the top cover 6 to move the side frame 21 and its associated components downwards to a suitable position. The operator then removes the bolts that are stuck between the side frame 21 and the pull plate 25, allowing the first spring 23 to use its own elasticity to drive the plug 26 through the pressure plate 24 into the inside of the socket 5, thus completing the installation of the top cover 6.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10This invention provides an embodiment of a compact modular robot drive box structure and its usage method, comprising a drive box 1, with two locking components installed on the front and back of the drive box 1, and the locking components are used to lock and fasten a top cover 6. Each locking component includes a side platform 56, with two side platforms 56 located on the front of the drive box 1 and the other two side platforms 56 located on the back of the drive box 1. Two third springs 57 are installed on the top of the side platforms 56, and a short plate 58 is installed on the top of the two third springs 57. A screw 59 is threaded through the interior of the side platform 56, and the screw 59 penetrates the interior of the short plate 58. A limit block 60 is installed on the top of the screw 59, and the limit block 60 is located on the top of the short plate 58. Four top brackets 61 are installed on the top of the top cover 6, and a locking plate 62 is installed on one side of each top bracket 61, and the locking plate 62 is located at the bottom of the short plate 58. The side platforms 56 provide support for the third springs 57, and the limit blocks 60, under the fixed support of the screws 59, can lock and fasten the short plate 58. The top cover 6 is moved to the top of the drive housing 1 by the operator using plate 58 for support. The operator moves the top cover 6 so that, under external force, it can move the clamping plate 62 to the bottom of the short plate 58 via the top frame 61. The operator then turns the screw 59, which, under the threaded support of the side platform 56, moves the short plate 58 downwards via the limit block 60. Under external force, the short plate 58 moves the clamping plate 62 downwards as well, allowing the clamping plate 62 to be pressed and fixed by the top frame 61. When the operator needs to open the top cover 6, the operator loosens the screw 59 upwards, allowing the third spring 57 to use its own elasticity to move the short plate 58 upwards, preventing the clamping plate 62 from being pressed downwards and the top cover 6 from being fixed. The operator then moves the top cover 6 to remove the clamping plate 62 from the bottom of the short plate 58, opening the top cover 6. This allows for easy disassembly and assembly of the top cover 6, facilitating maintenance work.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3This invention provides an embodiment of a compact modular robot drive box structure and its usage method, comprising a top cover 6, a top block 27 mounted on the top of the top cover 6, a semi-annular shell 28 mounted on the top of the top block 27, and the semi-annular shell 28 located on one side of a support plate 12. A fixing rod 29 is mounted on the top of the top cover 6, and the fixing rod 29 is located on one side of the semi-annular shell 28. The top block 27, supported by the top cover 6, provides fixed support for the semi-annular shell 28, thereby supporting the protective sleeve 32. The fixing rod 29, supported by the top cover 6, supports the ring 33. When the operator lifts the protective sleeve 32 upwards, the protective sleeve 32 can be moved out of the inner side of the semi-annular shell 28 under the action of external force, so that the protective sleeve 32 can drive the ring 33 to move upwards along the fixing rod 29 under the action of external force. After maintenance is completed, the operator moves the protective sleeve 32 to the inner side of the semi-annular shell 28 and moves the ring 33 to the outer side of the fixing rod 29.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4This invention provides an embodiment of a compact modular robot drive box structure and its usage method, comprising a drive box 1, a protective component mounted on the front of the drive box 1, the protective component being used to protect the output end of a drive motor 2, the protective component including two fixing brackets 30 located on the front of the drive box 1, a positioning hole 31 penetrating the front of the fixing brackets 30, a protective sleeve 32 mounted on the outer side of the output end of the drive motor 2, a ring 33 mounted on the front of the protective sleeve 32, a support piece 34 mounted on the top and bottom of the protective sleeve 32, and a short... A second spring 36 is installed inside the short shell 35. A locking block 37 is installed on the front of the second spring 36, and a part of the locking block 37 is located inside the short shell 35. The fixing bracket 30 can support the support plate 34 and the components associated with the support plate 34 under the fixed support of the drive housing 1. The ring 33 can support the protective sleeve 32 under the support of the fixing rod 29. The short shell 35 can provide moving space for the locking block 37. The locking block 37 can fix the protective sleeve 32 through the positioning hole 31, the short shell 35 and the support plate 34. The operator puts the protective sleeve 32 on the outside of the output end of the drive motor 2. Pressing the locking block 37 allows it to move into the inside of the short shell 35 under external force. Simultaneously, the operator rotates the protective sleeve 32, causing the two support plates 34 to rotate vertically under external force. This allows the support plates 34 to move the locking block 37 via the short shell 35 and the second spring 36. When the locking block 37 aligns with the positioning hole 31, the second spring 36 uses its own elasticity to move the locking block 37 into the positioning hole 31. The locking block 37, through the second spring 36, the short shell 35, and the support plates 34, secures the protective sleeve 32, thus ensuring its stability. The protective sleeve 32 protects the output end of the drive motor 2 by wrapping it around the output end. After maintenance, the operator presses the two locking blocks 37, causing the locking blocks 37 to move into the inside of the short shell 35 under the action of external force, so that most of the locking blocks 37 moves out of the inside of the positioning hole 31. At the same time, the operator rotates the protective sleeve 32, causing the protective sleeve 32 to move the locking blocks 37 out of the inside of the positioning hole 31 under the action of external force through the support plate 34, the short shell 35 and the second spring 36. The operator rotates the protective sleeve 32 to move the protective sleeve 32 away from the outside of the output end of the drive motor 2, so that the operator can remove the protective sleeve 32.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7This invention provides an embodiment of a compact modular robot drive box structure and its usage method, comprising a top cover 6, a storage component mounted on the top of the top cover 6 for storing maintenance parts, the storage component including a tool tray 38 located on the top of the top cover 6, two semi-circular frames 39 mounted on the top of the tool tray 38, a rotating block 40 through the interior of the semi-circular frames 39, a flip cover 41 between the two rotating blocks 40 located inside the tool tray 38, a bottom shell 42 mounted on the inner side of the bottom wall of the tool tray 38, and a movable block 43 mounted on the inner side of the bottom shell 42. A central column 44 is installed on the top of the tool tray 38. Four slots 45 are formed around the central column 44. Insert plates 46 are installed inside two of the slots 45, and partitions 47 are installed on one side of each insert plate 46. The two partitions 47 divide the inner space of the tool tray 38, providing storage space for small parts. The semi-circular frame 39, fixedly supported by the tool tray 38, supports the rotating block 40 to rotate under external force, thus enabling the rotating block 40 to support the vertical rotation of the flip cover 41 under external force. The bottom shell 42 provides space for the movable block 43 to move, allowing the movable block 43 to support... The central column 44 rotates under the action of external force. When the staff performs maintenance work, they move the partition 47 and insert the insert plate 46 into the inside of the slot 45 by moving the partition 47. The staff places an appropriate number of partitions 47 inside the tool tray 38 according to the type of parts to be repaired. When the staff repairs the inside of the drive housing 1, small parts need to be disassembled. The staff classifies the disassembled parts according to their type and places them inside the tool tray 38. When the maintenance is finished, the staff needs to install the small parts. The staff rotates the partition 47 so that the partition 47 is under the action of external force. The lower part can drive the central column 44 to rotate through the insert plate 46, so that the central column 44 drives the movable block 43 to rotate under the action of external force. At the same time, the partition plate 47 can move the small parts inside it to the notch position of the tool disk 38. The operator can vertically rotate the flip cover 41, so that the flip cover 41 drives the rotating block 40 to rotate under the action of external force, so that the notch of the tool disk 38 is opened, and the small parts are moved out of the inner side of the tool disk 38 through the notch. This makes it convenient for the operator to pick up the small parts, install the small parts, and install the drive box 1 to the installation position of the compact modular robot.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8This invention provides an embodiment of a compact modular robot drive box structure and its usage method, comprising a circular block 9, a dustproof component installed on one side of the circular block 9, the dustproof component being used to prevent dust from entering the inner side of the drive box 1 through the heat dissipation vent 3, the dustproof component including an arc block 48 located on one side of the circular block 9, a support shell 49 installed at the bottom of the arc block 48, a ventilation shell 50 installed at the bottom of the support shell 49, two miniature fans 51 penetrating the top of the support shell 49, a power motor 52 installed on one side of the support shell 49, and the output end of the power motor 52 penetrating the support shell. On one side of the support housing 49, a thin rod 53 is installed on one side of the output end of the power motor 52, and the thin rod 53 is located inside the support housing 49. A bearing is installed on one side of the thin rod 53, and the bearing passes through the other side of the support housing 49. A rotating plate 54 is installed on the top of the thin rod 53, and a scraper 55 is installed on the bottom of the thin rod 53. The rotating plate 54 and the scraper 55 are located inside the support housing 49. The arc block 48 can support the support housing 49 under the support of the circular block 9, so that the support housing 49 can support its associated components. The ventilation housing 50 can guide the airflow. The bearing can support the thin rod 53. Under the action of external force, the rotating plate 54 can rotate rapidly vertically, thereby generating airflow to blow away dust. When the compact modular robot is working normally, the operator starts the power motor 52 and the miniature fan 51 through the robot's control module. The operation of the power motor 52 causes its output end to rotate, which in turn drives the thin rod 53 to rotate. Under the action of external force, the thin rod 53 drives the rotating plate 54 and the scraper 55 to rotate vertically, allowing the scraper 55 to... The scraper 55 can contact the heat dissipation vent 3, allowing it to rub against the vent 3 under external force. This allows the scraper 55 to clean the dust adsorbed on the surface of the heat dissipation vent 3. When the compact modular robot is in operation, the hot air generated inside can be blown out through the heat dissipation vent 3, causing the cleaned dust to be blown outward. The micro fan 51 generates wind, which blows from top to bottom inside the support shell 49 and ventilation shell 50, causing the dust to be blown out of the support shell 49 and ventilation shell 50, thus performing the dust removal function.

[0055] Furthermore, the usage method of the compact modular robot drive box structure is as follows:

[0056] S1. First, the staff turns off the dust removal component through the control module of the compact modular robot, uses disassembly tools to remove the drive housing 1 from the inside of the compact modular robot, and uses a cleaning cloth to clean the output end of the drive motor 2.

[0057] S2. Then, the worker lifts the protective sleeve 32 upwards, so that the protective sleeve 32 moves out of the inner side of the semi-ring shell 28, so that the protective sleeve 32 drives the ring 33 to move upwards along the fixed rod 29. The worker puts the protective sleeve 32 on the outer side of the output end of the drive motor 2, presses the locking block 37, so that the locking block 37 moves into the inner side of the short shell 35. At the same time, the worker rotates the protective sleeve 32, so that the locking block 37 drives the protective sleeve 32 to be fixed through the second spring 36, the short shell 35 and the support plate 34.

[0058] S3. When the staff is inspecting the drive box 1 of the compact modular robot, the staff pulls the pull plate 25 in the disassembly and assembly assembly. The pull plate 25 is fixed by pressing the part bolts between the side frame 21 and the pull plate 25. The staff fixes the four pull plates 25 in sequence. The staff rotates the knob 17 to move the top cover 6 and the short column 20 upward together. The staff pulls the plug 16 upward to move the plug 16 out of the inside of a round hole 10. The staff rotates the support plate 12 horizontally to make the support plate 12 drive the rotating block 11 to rotate. The staff moves the top cover 6 and the rubber frame 7 away from the top of the drive box 1. The staff then inserts the plug 16 into the inside of the round hole 10 in the appropriate position to fix the support plate 12, so that the staff can carry out the inspection work.

[0059] S4. When the staff is performing maintenance work, the staff moves the partition 47 and inserts the insert plate 46 into the inside of the slot 45 by moving the partition 47. The staff places the partition 47 inside the tool tray 38 according to the type of parts to be maintained. When the staff is maintaining the inside of the drive box 1, small parts need to be disassembled. The staff classifies the disassembled parts and places them inside the tool tray 38 according to the type of parts. When the maintenance is finished, the staff needs to install the small parts. The staff rotates the partition 47 and moves the small parts to the notch position of the tool tray 38. The staff rotates the flip cover 41 vertically to open the notch of the tool tray 38 and moves the small parts out of the tool tray 38 through the notch. The staff pulls the small parts to install them and installs the drive box 1 into the installation position of the compact modular robot.

[0060] S5. When the compact modular robot is working normally, the operator starts the power motor 52 and the micro fan 51 through the control module of the compact modular robot. This causes the thin rod 53 to drive the rotating plate 54 and the scraper 55 to rotate vertically. The scraper 55 can contact the heat dissipation vent 3, causing friction between the scraper 55 and the heat dissipation vent 3, thus cleaning the dust adsorbed on the surface of the heat dissipation vent 3. The operation of the micro fan 51 generates wind force that blows from top to bottom inside the support shell 49 and the ventilation shell 50, causing the wind force to blow the dust out of the inside of the support shell 49 and the ventilation shell 50.

[0061] Furthermore, steps S2 and S3 also include the following steps:

[0062] S21. After the maintenance is completed, the staff presses the two locking blocks 37, so that the locking blocks 37 move into the inside of the short shell 35 under the action of external force, so that most of the locking blocks 37 move out of the inside of the positioning hole 31. At the same time, the staff rotates the protective sleeve 32, so that the protective sleeve 32 moves the locking blocks 37 out of the inside of the positioning hole 31 through the support plate 34, the short shell 35 and the second spring 36 under the action of external force. The staff rotates the protective sleeve 32 and moves the protective sleeve 32 away from the outside of the output end of the drive motor 2, so that the staff can remove the protective sleeve 32. The staff moves the protective sleeve 32 to the inside of the semi-ring shell 28, and at the same time moves the ring 33 to the outside of the fixing rod 29.

[0063] S31. After the maintenance is completed, the staff pulls out the plug 16 upwards and moves the top cover 6 and rubber frame 7 to the top of the drive box 1 by rotating the support plate 12 horizontally. The plug 16 is inserted into the inside of a round hole 10. The knob 17 is turned downwards to make the top cover 6 cooperate with the drive box 1 to squeeze the rubber frame 7. This causes the top cover 6 to move the side frame 21 and the components associated with the side frame 21 downwards to the appropriate position. The staff removes the bolts that are stuck between the side frame 21 and the pull plate 25. The first spring 23 uses its own elasticity to drive the plug 26 through the pressure plate 24 to insert it into the inside of the socket 5, thus completing the installation of the top cover 6.

[0064] Working principle: Before using the device, it is necessary to check whether there are any problems that may affect its use. When the staff needs to repair the drive box structure of the compact modular robot, the staff removes the drive box 1 from the inside of the compact modular robot, removes the protective sleeve 32 on the inside of the semi-ring shell 28, puts the protective sleeve 32 on the outside of the output end of the drive motor 2, presses the locking block 37, and moves the locking block 37 into the inside of the positioning hole 31 by rotating the protective sleeve 32. Pull the pull plate 25 and use the part bolt to lock the pull plate 25. Turn the knob 17 to move the top cover 6 away from the top of the drive box 1. The staff can then repair the inside of the drive box 1. During the repair, the staff can store the disassembled small parts in the storage component. After the repair is completed, the small parts in the storage component are taken out and installed. Then the drive box 1 is installed into the inside of the compact modular robot, and the dustproof component is activated to perform dustproof work.
