[0036] The eyelid body 300 is located in front of the eyeball body 201, the eyelid body 300 corresponds to the eyeball body 201 one by one, the eyelid body 300 and the eye platform 200 are hinged, and the hinge axis of the eyelid body 300 and the eye platform 200 is arranged along the width direction of the head frame 100, and the eyelid operating rod 303 is connected to the eyelid body 300, and the eyelid operating rod 303 is located on the back of the eyeball body 201. Preferably, the eyelid operating rod 303 is located at the center of the line connecting the adjacent eyelid bodies 300.

[0037] Furthermore, a hinge is provided between the eyelid body 300 and the eye platform 200, and each eyeball body 201 is provided with a hinge on both sides of the width direction of the head frame 100, and the eyelid body 300 is connected to the hinges on both sides of the width direction of the corresponding eyeball body 201 of the head frame 100. By providing a plurality of hinges on the eye platform 200 for the opening and closing of the eyelid body 300, the stability of the opening and closing of the eyelid body 300 is ensured, and some of the hinges are located between the eyeball bodies 201, so that the limited space in the head frame 100 is fully utilized.

[0038] Furthermore, the opposite sides of the two eyelid bodies 300 are connected by an eyelid connecting rod 301, and the opposite sides of the two eyelid bodies 300 are each provided with the eyelid connecting rod 301, and the hinge comprises an eyelid support 302, and the upper end of the eyelid support 302 is provided with a rod groove, and the eyelid connecting rod 301 is movably arranged in the rod groove, and the inner wall of the rod groove is covered with a rubber layer, and the rubber layer is interference-connected with the eyelid connecting rod 301.

[0039] When in use, the eyelid operating rod 303 is controlled, and the eyelid operating rod 303 acts on the eyelid body 300 to rotate. The eyelid body 300 rotates in the rod groove through the eyelid connecting rod 301 to achieve control of the opening and closing of the eyelid body 300, wherein the rubber layer covering the inner wall of the rod groove squeezes the outer wall of the rod body to achieve the fixation of the relative position of the eyelid body 300 in different opening and closing states.

[0040] The humanoid expression robot head also includes a mouth mechanism 400 , and the mouth mechanism 400 is located below the eye platform 200 .

[0041] The mouth mechanism 400 comprises:

[0042] The chin support 401 and the chin body 402, wherein the chin support 401 is arranged at the bottom of the head frame 100, the chin support 401 is movably connected to the chin body 402, the chin body 402 is configured to be able to move along the front-to-back direction of the head frame 100, and the chin body 402 is configured to be able to rotate around the chin support 401.

[0043] Specifically, the chin support 401 is provided with a sliding groove 4011, and the sliding groove 4011 is arranged along the front-to-back direction of the head frame 100. A sliding rod 4012 is provided in the sliding groove 4011. The cross-section of the sliding rod 4012 in the length direction of the sliding groove 4011 is circular. The sliding rod 4012 is fixedly connected to the chin body 402. When the sliding rod 4012 slides along the length direction of the sliding groove 4011, the sliding rod 4012 can rotate around its own axis, so that the chin body 402 connected to the sliding rod 4012 can move forward and backward while rotating up and down. In addition, the chin body 402 cooperates with the sliding rod 4012 to be horizontally tilted in the sliding groove 4011, and the chin body 402 also has the function of small left and right displacement on the horizontal plane.

[0044] An elastic return member is provided between the sliding rod 4012 and the chin support member 401. The optional elastic return member is a spring. The sliding rod 4012 is supported by the elastic return member so that the chin body 402 connected to the sliding rod 4012 is in a closed state when not in use.

[0045] Furthermore, the sliding groove 4011 is located at the center of the chin support 401, and the sliding groove 4011 connects the two sides of the chin support 401 located in the width direction of the skull frame 100. Both ends of the sliding rod 4012 in the length direction extend to the outside of the chin support 401 through the sliding groove 4011. In the vertical direction, the cross-sectional size of the end of the sliding rod 4012 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the sliding groove 4011.

[0046] Furthermore, the center position of the sliding rod 4012 is fixedly connected to the chin body 402 and the chin control rod 403, and the chin control rod 403 extends toward the back of the head frame 100. The cross-sectional size of the chin control rod 403 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the sliding groove 4011, so that the chin control rod 403 can control the displacement of the chin body 402 front and back, up and down, and left and right.

[0047] In order to meet the lightweight requirements of the robot head, the humanoid expression robot head is 3D printed with lightweight materials, such as high-strength plastics, aluminum alloys, etc. At the same time, by optimizing the structural design, unnecessary parts and weight are reduced, and the overall performance and energy efficiency of the robot are improved. During 3D printing, the columns are rounded to reduce stress concentration at the bottom of the columns and avoid part collapse and failure. During production, only the parts need to be assembled, which reduces the assembly cost and the cost of fine parts and avoids the problem of connection and breakage of fine parts.

[0048] The operability of the device is improved by increasing the damping of key components, such as adding rubber between the eyelid support 302 and the eyelid body 300, setting a spring between the sliding rod 4012 and the chin support 401, and setting an elastic limiter 202 between the eyeball body 201 and the eye platform 200.

[0049] In summary, the present invention can achieve equivalent expression effects using a single mechanism, such as: the front and back left and right movement of the chin, the front and back left and right rotation of the eyeballs

[0050] The humanoid expression robot head has the following advantages as a whole:

[0051] 1. Institutional innovation:

[0052] Modular design: The chin body 402, the eyeball body 201 and the eyelid body 300 are independently movable, and a modular design concept is adopted. Compared with the existing humanoid expression robot that controls the facial expression system as a whole, the present invention can achieve more detailed and independent motion control, and only needs to be repaired separately in case of failure.

[0053] 2. Materials and production process:

[0054] Flexibility of 3D printing: The complex shapes and movable structures achieved through 3D printing are more cost-effective and have the advantages of rapid prototyping in the manufacturing process. Compared with traditional mechanical humanoid robots, 3D printing can iterate and customize designs more quickly;

[0055] Lightweight and customizable: The material selection of 3D printing can provide lightweight advantages, and the size or shape can be adjusted according to needs, which is crucial for flexibility in robot design;

[0056] 400 innovative points of mouth mechanism:

[0057] The kinematic pair of the mouth mechanism 400 of the present invention combines a rotation pair and a translation pair, and can realize large displacement movements forward and backward, upward and downward, and has the ability to move with small displacements left and right. Compared with existing designs in the field of humanoid expression robots, it has the following advantages and innovations:

[0058] 1. Enhancement of multi-dimensional movement:

[0059] More realistic range of motion: Compared with the traditional humanoid robot jaw that mainly relies on a simple revolute pair, the mouth mechanism 400 of the present invention can achieve a large displacement of the jaw body 402 forward and backward and up and down, which is closer to the movement of a real human jaw. For example, when a human chews or speaks, the movement of the jaw is not only rotation, but also involves complex translational movement. The present invention is more in line with human biomechanics and can simulate facial expressions and mouth movements more realistically.

[0060] 2. More flexible expression simulation:

[0061] Degree of refinement in expression changes: By combining the translation joint and the rotation joint, the jaw can not only move in a single direction, but also complete combined movements. This means that complex expressions, such as smiles, confusion, or subtle changes in speech, can be expressed more delicately. In contrast, traditional humanoid robots may only be able to make simple movements in one or two degrees of freedom, making it difficult to achieve such expression details.

[0062] 3. Better motion control:

[0063] More precise positioning and control: By introducing a mobile pair, the device can more accurately control the position of the chin body 402 in multiple degrees of freedom, which helps to achieve more precise expression control and mouth movements. This design can have obvious advantages in scenarios that require highly precise control, such as the high-fidelity requirements of simulated robot facial expressions.

[0064] 4. Improved mechanical structure:

[0065] Stability and durability of movement: The design of combining rotating and sliding joints can make the structure of the jaw more stable and reduce the wear problem of a single moving joint in long-term operation. Different moving joints share the movement load, which may help to extend the service life of the structure and improve reliability in practical applications.

[0066] This multi-degree-of-freedom design combined with different kinematic pairs not only expands the range of motion of the chin, but also enhances the precision and expressiveness of mechanical simulation. It is particularly suitable for scenes that require highly realistic expressions and motion simulations.

[0067] Innovations of eye mechanism:

[0068] 1. Unique combination: Combining the parallelogram-like mechanism with the revolute pair. This innovative design idea is relatively new in the eye mechanism. The rotation of the revolute pair drives the movement of the parallelogram-like mechanism, giving full play to the advantages of the two mechanisms and realizing a more flexible up, down, left and right movement of the eyeball in the head.

[0069] 2. Optimize space utilization: Within the limited head space, this structural design can effectively utilize the space and make the layout of the eye mechanism more compact and reasonable. Compared with the traditional eye movement mechanism, this design can achieve more complex movement functions without increasing too much volume.

[0070] 3. Multi-directional movement capability: Through the coordination of the parallelogram-like mechanism and the revolute pair, the eyeball can achieve all-round movement up, down, left and right. This multi-directional movement capability makes the robot's expression more vivid and lifelike, and enhances the interaction with humans.

[0071] 4. Smoothness and accuracy of movement: The eye mechanism has the characteristics of high stability and predictable motion trajectory, and the revolute pair can provide precise rotation control. The combination of the two makes the movement of the eyeball smoother and more accurate, avoiding shaking and deviation, and improving the visual performance quality of the robot.

[0072] 5. Simplify control difficulty: The design of the eye mechanism makes the way of controlling eye movement simpler and more intuitive. By controlling the rotation angle and displacement of the connecting rod on the rotating pair, the movement of the eye mechanism can be controlled, thereby realizing various movement states of the eye. Compared with the complex multi-joint control method, this design reduces the control difficulty and improves the reliability of the system.

[0073] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical ideas and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable technicians in this field to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. The patent scope of the present invention cannot be limited only by this embodiment, that is, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit disclosed by the present invention still fall within the patent scope of the present invention.
