[0022] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the headless frame of the humanoid facial expression robot head described in this invention;

[0024] The following description is intended to provide a detailed account of the invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The basic principles of the invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a humanoid facial expression robot head, comprising:

[0026] An eye platform 200 is provided inside the skull frame 100. An eyeball body 201 is connected between the eye platform 200 and the skull frame 100 through an elastic limiting member 202. An eyeball body 201 is provided on each side of the skull frame 100 in the width direction. The eyeball body 201 has an initial state. When the eyeball body 201 is in the initial state, the eyeball is located at the center of the eye socket on the skull frame 100, and the front of the eyeball faces the front of the skull frame 100. The elastic limiting member 202 is configured to drive the eyeball body 201 to approach the initial state.

[0027] An operating link 203 is provided on the eye platform 200. The operating link 203 is arranged along the line connecting the two eyeball bodies 201. The operating link 203 is adapted to rotate around its own axis and move along its own axial direction. The end of the operating link 203 located on the same side of the width direction of the skull frame 100 is connected to the eyeball body 201 through a transmission link 204. One end of the transmission link 204 is fixedly connected to the eyeball body 201, and the other end of the transmission link 204 is hinged to the operating link 203. A frame 205 is hinged between the transmission links 204. The frame 205 and the operating link 203 are parallel, and adjacent transmission links 204 are parallel. The hinge axis directions of the transmission links 204 and the operating link 203, as well as the hinge axis directions of the transmission links 204 and the frame 205, are parallel and intersect at the axial direction of the operating link 203.

[0028] Through the above design, the operating link 203, the transmission link 204, and the frame 205 form a parallelogram-like mechanism. The parallelogram-like mechanism plays a role in transmission and stable support during the movement of the two eyeball bodies 201. It can achieve synchronous movement of the two eyeball bodies 201 in the horizontal and vertical directions by only controlling the operating link 203. Compared with the complex multi-joint control method, the above design reduces the control difficulty and improves the reliability of the system.

[0029] In other words, the elastic limiting member 202, the operating linkage 203, the transmission linkage 204, and the frame 205 constitute the transmission structure of the eyeball body 201. The transmission structure is hinged to the eye platform 200, and a hinge axis is formed between the transmission structure and the eye platform 200. In the horizontal direction, the transmission structure is configured to drive the eyeball body 201 to rotate around its own center. In the vertical direction, the transmission structure is configured to drive the eyeball body 201 to rotate around the hinge axis.

[0030] Furthermore, the hinge axis directions of the transmission link 204 and the operating link 203, as well as the hinge axis directions of the transmission link 204 and the frame 205, are parallel and perpendicular to the axis direction of the operating link 203. During the rotation of the operating link 203 around its own axis, the hinge axis directions of the transmission link 204 and the operating link 203, as well as the hinge axis directions of the transmission link 204 and the frame 205, have a large included angle with the axis of rotation of the operating link 203, thereby avoiding affecting the horizontal position of the eyeball body 201.

[0031] Furthermore, a movable groove is formed at the radial center of the end of the transmission connecting rod 204, and the end of the operating connecting rod 203 is movably disposed within the movable groove. The inner wall of the movable groove and the end of the operating connecting rod 203 are connected by a bearing to enhance the stability of the connection between the two.

[0032] Furthermore, a connecting rod support 206 is provided on the side of the eye platform 200 near the back. A connecting hole 2061 is provided above the connecting rod support 206, and the connecting hole 2061 is arranged along the width direction of the skull frame 100. The operating connecting rod 203 is movably inserted into the connecting hole 2061. Further, there are two connecting rod supports 206, one on each side of the skull frame 100 in the width direction. The axis of the connecting hole 2061 coincides with the axis of the operating connecting rod 203, thereby allowing the operating connecting rod 203 to rotate around its own axis and slide along its axial direction within the connecting hole 2061.

[0033] An eye control lever 207 is positioned at the center of the operating linkage 203. The eye control lever 207 extends toward the side of the operating linkage 203 away from the eyeball body 201, and is located between two adjacent linkage supports 206. The operating linkage 203 can be operated via the eye control lever 207 to control the movement of the eyeball body 201.

[0034] The elastic limiting member 202 includes an eyeball rest with an eyeball groove. The vertical end of the eyeball body 201 is located within the eyeball groove. Further, there are two eyeball rests, one for each vertical end of the eyeball body 201. In the vertical direction, the elastic member is positioned between the eyeball rest above the eyeball body 201 and the skull frame 100, and between the eyeball rest below the eyeball body 201 and the eye platform 200. The elastic member is arranged vertically. Preferably, the elastic member is a spring.

[0035] The humanoid facial expression robot head also includes an eyelid opening and closing mechanism, which includes:

[0036] An eyelid body 300 is located in front of the eyeball body 201, with each eyelid body 300 corresponding to one of the eyeball bodies 201. The eyelid body 300 is hinged to the eye platform 200, and the hinge axis between the eyelid body 300 and the eye platform 200 is arranged along the width direction of the skull frame 100. An 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 adjacent eyelid bodies 300.

[0037] Furthermore, a hinge is provided between the eyelid body 300 and the eye platform 200. Each eyeball body 201 has a hinge on each side of the skull frame 100 in the width direction. The eyelid body 300 connects to the hinges on both sides of the skull frame 100 corresponding to the eyeball body 201 in the width direction. By providing multiple 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. Some of the hinges are located between the eyeball bodies 201, thus making full use of the limited space within the skull frame 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the two eyelid bodies 300 are connected on opposite sides by an eyelid connecting rod 301. Each of the two eyelid bodies 300 has an eyelid connecting rod 301 on its opposite side. The hinge includes an eyelid support 302, the upper end of which has a groove. The eyelid connecting rod 301 is movably disposed within the groove, and the inner wall of the groove is covered with a rubber layer. The rubber layer and the eyelid connecting rod 301 are press-fitted together. In one embodiment, the eyelid operating rod 303 is connected to the eyelid connecting rod 301 located on opposite sides of the two eyelid bodies 300.

[0039] In use, the eyelid operating lever 303 is controlled, which causes the eyelid body 300 to rotate. The eyelid body 300 rotates in the groove of the eyelid connecting rod 301, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the eyelid body 300. The rubber layer covering the inner wall of the groove squeezes the outer wall of the rod, thereby fixing 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, which is located below the eye platform 200.

[0041] The mouth mechanism 400 includes:

[0042] The chin support 401 and the chin body 402 are provided. The chin support 401 is disposed at the bottom of the skull frame 100. The chin body 402 is movably connected to the chin support 401. The chin body 402 is configured to move along the front-back direction of the skull frame 100 and is configured to rotate around the chin support 401.

[0043] Specifically, the chin support 401 is provided with a sliding groove 4011, which is arranged along the front-back direction of the skull frame 100. A sliding rod 4012 is provided in the sliding groove 4011. The cross-section of the sliding rod 4012 along the length of the sliding groove 4011 is circular. The sliding rod 4012 is fixedly connected to the chin body 402. During the sliding process along the length of the sliding groove 4011, the sliding rod 4012 can rotate around its own axis, thereby enabling the chin body 402 connected to the sliding rod 4012 to move back and forth while rotating up and down. In addition, the chin body 402 can tilt horizontally within the sliding groove 4011 in cooperation with the sliding rod 4012. The chin body 402 also has the function of small left and right displacement on the horizontal plane.

[0044] An elastic reset member is provided between the sliding rod 4012 and the chin support member 401. The elastic reset member can be a spring. The sliding rod 4012 is supported by the elastic reset 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. The two 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 dimension of the end of the sliding rod 4012 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the sliding groove 4011.

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

[0047] To meet the lightweight requirements of the robot's head, the humanoid facial expression robot head is 3D printed using lightweight materials such as high-strength plastics and aluminum alloys. Simultaneously, by optimizing the structural design, unnecessary parts and weight are reduced, improving the robot's overall performance and energy efficiency. During 3D printing, the columns are rounded to reduce stress concentration at the bottom, preventing part breakage and failure. During manufacturing, only assembly of the parts is required, reducing assembly costs and the cost of delicate parts, and avoiding the problem of connection breakage of delicate components.

[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 limiting member 202 between the eyeball body 201 and the eye platform 200.

[0049] In summary, this invention can achieve equivalent facial expression effects using a single mechanism, such as the forward, backward, left, and right movement of the chin, or the forward, backward, left, and right rotation of the eyeballs.

[0050] The humanoid facial expression robot head has the following advantages:

[0051] 1. Institutional Innovation:

[0052] Modular design: The chin body 402, eyeball body 201 and eyelid body 300 are independently movable. The design adopts a modular approach. Compared with the existing humanoid facial expression robots that control the facial expression system as a whole, this invention can achieve more detailed and independent motion control. In case of failure, only individual parts need to be repaired.

[0053] 2. Materials and Manufacturing Process:

[0054] The flexibility of 3D printing: Complex shapes and movable structures achieved through 3D printing offer advantages in manufacturing processes, such as greater cost-effectiveness and rapid prototyping. Compared to traditional mechanical humanoid robots, 3D printing allows for faster iteration and customized design.

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

[0056] 400 Innovations in Mouth Mechanism:

[0057] The mouth mechanism 400 of this invention combines revolute and prismatic joints, enabling large forward and backward, up and down movements, as well as small left and right movements. Compared with existing designs, it has the following advantages and innovations in the field of humanoid facial expression robots:

[0058] 1. Enhancement of multidimensional motion:

[0059] More realistic range of motion: Compared to traditional humanoid robot chins that mainly rely on simple rotational joints, the mouth mechanism 400 of this invention can achieve significant forward and backward, and up and down displacement of the chin body 402, more closely resembling the movement of a real human chin. For example, when a human chews or speaks, the movement of the chin involves not only rotation but also complex translational movements. This invention is more in line with human biomechanics and can more realistically simulate facial expressions and mouth movements.

[0060] 2. More flexible facial expression simulation:

[0061] The finesse of facial expressions: By combining prismatic and rotatory joints, the jaw can not only move in a single direction but also perform combined movements. This means that complex expressions, such as smiles, confusion, or subtle changes in speech, can be expressed with greater subtlety. In contrast, traditional humanoid robots may only be able to perform simple movements in one or two degrees of freedom, making it difficult to achieve such facial detail.

[0062] 3. Better motion control:

[0063] More precise positioning and control: By introducing a prismatic joint, this device can more precisely control the position of the chin body 402 in multiple degrees of freedom, which helps to achieve more precise facial expression control and mouth movements. This design has significant advantages in scenarios that require highly precise control, such as the high fidelity requirements of facial expressions in humanoid robots.

[0064] 4. Improved mechanical structure:

[0065] Stability and durability of motion: The design combining revolute and prismatic joints makes the chin structure more stable, reduces wear and tear on individual kinematic joints during long-term operation, and the distribution of motion load among different kinematic joints may help extend the service life of the structure and improve reliability in practical applications.

[0066] This multi-degree-of-freedom design, which incorporates different kinematic pairs, not only expands the range of motion of the chin but also enhances the precision and expressiveness of mechanical simulation, making it particularly suitable for scenarios requiring highly realistic facial expressions and motion simulation.

[0067] Innovations in eye care:

[0068] 1. Unique combination method: Combining a parallelogram-like mechanism with a revolute joint is an innovative design concept that is relatively novel in eye mechanisms. The rotation of the revolute joint drives the movement of the parallelogram-like mechanism, giving full play to the advantages of both mechanisms and enabling the eyeball to move more flexibly up, down, left, and right within the skull.

[0069] 2. Optimized space utilization: Within the limited space of the skull, this structural design can effectively utilize space, making 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 the volume too much.

[0070] 3. Multi-directional movement capability: Through the cooperation of a parallelogram-like mechanism and a rotating joint, the eyeball can achieve all-round movement in all directions, up, down, left, and right. This multi-directional movement capability makes the robot's expressions more vivid and realistic, enhancing the interaction with humans.

[0071] 4. Stability and accuracy of movement: The eye mechanism features high stability and predictable movement trajectory, while the rotary joint provides precise rotation control. The combination of the two makes the eye movement more stable and accurate, avoiding wobbling and deviation, and improving the visual performance quality of the robot.

[0072] 5. Simplified control difficulty: The design of the eye mechanism makes controlling eye movement simpler and more intuitive. By controlling the rotation angle and displacement of the linkage on the rotating joint, the movement of the eye mechanism can be controlled, thereby realizing various movement states of the eye. Compared with complex multi-joint control methods, 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. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. The scope of patent application of the present invention should not be limited by these embodiments.
