DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0029] It should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0031] In a modular robot, a variety of modules can be used with the main body of the robot. Each module may use the same connector (with the same number of pins, arrangement, etc.), but due to the different functions of the modules, the pin signal definitions are different. If they are mixed or misplaced, the module or host will burn out. For example, one connector has 16 pins and the other connector has 18 pins. The connector with 16 pins may be misplaced and inserted into the connector seat corresponding to the 18-pin connector. In response to the above situation, the present application has made targeted fool-proof designs for the situation where different modules use connectors with the same pins and the situation where the pins are different, so as to ensure that different modules have a certain fool-proof ability when used in the same usage scenario, and prevent electrical products from burning the motherboard, etc.

[0032] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a module assembly and a robot, the module assembly includes a first assembly and a second assembly, the module of the first assembly has a female connector, and the module of the second assembly has a male connector. Through the setting of the first anti-foolproof structure 211, the second anti-foolproof structure 311, the third anti-foolproof structure 513 and the fourth anti-foolproof structure 614, the modules in the first assembly can only be plugged in with the corresponding modules in the second assembly, so as to avoid confusion between the modules when plugging in.

[0033] The module components provided in the embodiments of the present invention are now described.

[0034] Please also read Figures 1 to 6The module component includes a first component and a second component. The first component has three modules, and the second component has three modules. Each module of the first component has a female connector, and each module of the second component has a male connector for plugging with the female connector. In the first component, one of the modules has a first fool-proofing structure 211, and one of the modules has a third fool-proofing structure 513. In the second component, one of the modules has a second fool-proofing structure 311, and one of the modules has a fourth fool-proofing structure 614. The first fool-proofing structure 211 and the second fool-proofing structure 311 are plugged in and matched with each other, and the third fool-proofing structure 513 is used to be staggered with the fourth fool-proofing structure 614. The module with the first fool-proofing structure 211 cannot be plugged in with the module with the fourth fool-proofing structure 614.

[0035] The module of the first component has a female connector, and the module of the second component has a male connector. If no fool-proof structure is provided, each module in the first component may be plugged into any module in the second component, which may cause problems such as wrong insertion and misalignment of the modules.

[0036] The first component has three modules, each module has a connector socket, the first module has a first fool-proofing structure 211, the second module has a third fool-proofing structure 513, and the remaining module does not have the first fool-proofing structure 211 and the third fool-proofing structure 513.

[0037] The second component has three modules, each module has a connector male socket, the first module has a second fool-proof structure 311, the second module has a fourth fool-proof structure 614, and the third module does not have the second fool-proof structure 311 and the fourth fool-proof structure 614.

[0038] The first foolproof structure 211 and the second foolproof structure 311 are plugged in and matched with each other, that is, the module with the first foolproof structure 211 and the module with the second foolproof structure 311 can be plugged in with each other. The third foolproof structure 513 is used to be mutually staggered with the fourth foolproof structure 614, and the module with the third foolproof structure 513 and the module with the fourth foolproof structure 614 can be plugged in with each other, and when the two are plugged in, the third foolproof structure 513 and the fourth foolproof structure 614 are staggered and do not interfere with each other. Due to the provision of the first foolproof structure 211, the module with the first foolproof structure 211 in the first component cannot be plugged in with the module without the foolproof structure (that is, without the second foolproof structure 311 and the fourth foolproof structure 614) in the second component. Due to the third foolproof structure 513, the modules with the second foolproof structure 311 and the modules without the foolproof structure (meaning without the second foolproof structure 311 and the fourth foolproof structure 614) in the second component cannot be plugged with the modules with the third foolproof structure 513 in the first component. Due to the fourth foolproof structure 614, the modules with the first foolproof structure 211 and the modules without the foolproof structure (meaning without the first foolproof structure 211 and the third foolproof structure 513) in the first component cannot be plugged with the modules with the fourth foolproof structure 614 in the second component.

[0039] The module assembly in the above embodiment includes a first assembly and a second assembly, the module of the first assembly has a female connector, the module of the second assembly has a male connector, two of the modules in the first assembly have a first foolproof structure 211 and a third foolproof structure 513, respectively, and two of the modules in the second assembly have a second foolproof structure 311 and a fourth foolproof structure 614, respectively. The first foolproof structure 211 and the second foolproof structure 311 can cooperate with each other, the third foolproof structure 513 and the fourth foolproof structure 614 are mutually dislocated, and the outer contour of the module with the first foolproof structure 211 is different from the outer contour of the module with the third foolproof structure 513. Therefore, the modules in the first assembly and the second assembly can be plugged into each other in a preset manner without causing confusion or dislocation.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 1 to 4The first component includes a first module 10 and a second module 20. The first module 10 has a first connector female seat 11, and the first connector female seat 11 has a first straight edge structure 113. The second module 20 has a second connector female seat 21, and the second connector female seat 21 has a first foolproof structure 211. The second component includes a third module 30 and a fourth module 40. The third module 30 has a third connector male seat 31, and the third connector male seat 31 has a second foolproof structure 311. The fourth module 40 has a fourth connector male seat 41, and the fourth connector male seat 41 has a second straight edge structure 413. The first connector female seat 11 can be plugged with the third connector male seat 31 and the fourth connector male seat 41 respectively, and the second connector female seat 21 can be plugged with the third connector male seat 31, and the second connector female seat 21 cannot be plugged with the fourth connector male seat 41. It should be noted that the connector of each module includes not only pins, but also the shell structure or pin seat around it. For example, the first connector female socket 11 includes a plurality of pins and a pin seat surrounding the pins; the second connector female socket 21 includes a plurality of pins, a pin seat surrounding the pins, and a shell structure around the pin seat.

[0041] The first connector female seat 11 of the first module 10 has a first straight edge structure 113, and the first straight edge structure 113 means that the narrow side (one end in the length direction) of the first connector female seat 11 is a straight edge structure, which is the same as the ordinary connector structure, and no fool-proofing structure is provided. The second connector female seat 21 of the second module 20 has a first fool-proofing structure 211, and compared with the ordinary connector structure, the first fool-proofing structure 211 is added. The third connector male seat 31 of the third module 30 has a second fool-proofing structure 311, and compared with the ordinary connector structure, the second fool-proofing structure 311 is added. The fourth connector male seat 41 of the fourth module 40 has a second straight edge structure 413, and the second straight edge structure 413 means that the narrow side of the second connector female seat 21 is a straight edge structure. Since the first connector female seat 11 and the fourth connector male seat 41 are both ordinary connectors, the first module 10 and the fourth module 40 can be plugged into each other. Since the third connector male socket 31 is a common connector male socket with a second foolproof structure 311 (groove structure), the first connector female socket 11 and the third connector male socket 31 can be plugged into each other, that is, the first module 10 and the third module 30 can be plugged into each other. Since the second connector female socket 21 is a common connector female socket with a first foolproof structure 211 (protruding structure), the second connector female socket 21 and the fourth connector male socket 41 cannot be plugged into each other, that is, the second module 20 and the fourth module 40 cannot be plugged into each other.

[0042] The connectors of the first module 10 and the fourth module 40 are both ordinary connectors without any fool-proof structure. The structures of the first connector female socket 11 and the fourth connector male socket 41 are simple and can meet the usage requirements: the first connector female socket 11 can be plugged with the third connector male socket 31 and the fourth connector male socket 41 respectively, the second connector female socket 21 can be plugged with the third connector male socket 31, and the second connector female socket 21 cannot be plugged with the fourth connector male socket 41.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figures 1 to 4 The first connector female socket 11 includes a first female socket body 110, and the side of the first female socket body 110 is a first straight edge structure 113. The second connector female socket 21 includes a first female socket body 110 and a first fool-proofing structure 211 arranged at the end of the first female socket body 110; the third connector male socket 31 includes a first male socket body 410 and a second fool-proofing structure 311 arranged at the end of the first male socket body 410. The third connector male socket 31 includes a first male socket body 410, and the first male socket body 410 has a second straight edge structure 413; the sizes of the first female socket body 110 and the first male socket body 410 match, and the sizes of the first fool-proofing structure 211 and the second fool-proofing structure 311 match.

[0044] The first female seat body 110 is a common female seat structure of a connector. The first female seat body 110 includes a plurality of first female seat pins 111 and a first female seat pin seat 112 surrounding the female seat pins. The side of the first female seat body 110 is the side corresponding to the narrow side of the first female seat pin seat 112, which is the first straight edge structure 113. The first fool-proof structure 211 is arranged at the end of the first female seat body 110 in the length direction. The first male seat body 410 is a common male seat structure of a connector. The first male seat body 410 includes a plurality of first male seat pins 411 and a first male seat groove 412, and the first male seat pin 411 is located in the first male seat groove 412. The second fool-proof structure 311 is arranged at the end of the first male seat groove 412 in the length direction. The matching of the sizes of the first female seat body 110 and the first male seat body 410 means that the first female seat pin seat 112 and the first male seat groove 412 match each other, and the first female seat body 110 and the first male seat body 410 can just be plugged into each other. The sizes of the first fool-proofing structure 211 and the second fool-proofing structure 311 match each other, so that the sizes of the second connector female socket 21 and the third connector male socket 31 can be completely matched, and the two can be just plugged into each other.

[0045] In some embodiments, the number of the first straight edge structures 113 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the first female seat body 110. The number of the second straight edge structures 413 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the fourth connector male seat 41. The number of the first fool-proof structures 211 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the second connector female seat 21. The number of the second fool-proof structures 311 is two, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the third connector male seat 31.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first fool-proofing structure 211 is a first raised bone structure, and the first raised bone structure has a bevel; the second fool-proofing structure 311 is a first shell recessed structure, and the inner wall of the first shell recessed structure has a bevel.

[0047] The first foolproof structure 211 is a convex structure, and the second foolproof structure 311 is a concave structure, so that the first foolproof structure 211 and the second foolproof structure 311 match each other. One side of the first convex bone structure is a bevel, which can be understood as a corner of the first convex bone structure is cut off to form a beveled corner. The inner wall of the first shell concave structure has a bevel, which can be understood as a corner of the first shell concave structure is filled to form a filled bevel.

[0048] By setting the first protruding bone position structure and the first shell recessed structure with bevel edges, the first connector female socket 11 and the second connector female socket 21 have different structures, and the third connector male socket 31 and the fourth connector male socket 41 have different structures, thereby avoiding the second connector female socket 21 and the fourth connector male socket 41 from being plugged in.

[0049] In some embodiments, one side of the first protruding bone structure is disposed adjacent to the side of the first female seat body 110, and the hypotenuse is disposed away from the first female seat body 110. The cross-section of the first protruding bone structure may be a right-angled trapezoid.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first protruding structure is fixed to the housing of the second module 20 and can be integrally formed with the housing of the second module 20. The first housing recessed structure is a part of the housing of the third module 30 and is formed on the housing of the third module 30.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The first component also includes a fifth module 50, the fifth module 50 has a fifth connector female seat 51, and the fifth connector female seat 51 has a third anti-foolproof structure 513; the second component also includes a sixth module 60, the sixth module 60 has a sixth connector male seat 61, and the sixth connector male seat 61 has a fourth anti-foolproof structure 614; the fifth connector female seat 51 can be plugged with the sixth connector male seat 61, the fifth connector female seat 51 cannot be plugged with the third connector male seat 31 and the fourth connector male seat 41, and the sixth connector male seat 61 cannot be plugged with the first connector female seat 11 and the second connector female seat 21.

[0052] When the fifth connector female socket 51 and the sixth connector male socket 61 are plugged into each other, the third fool-proofing structure 513 and the fourth fool-proofing structure 614 are staggered with each other, which will not affect the plugging of the fifth connector female socket 51 and the sixth connector male socket 61. The outer dimensions of the fifth connector female socket 51 and the sixth connector male socket 61 match each other and can be just plugged in. Through the setting of the third fool-proofing structure 513, the fifth connector female socket 51 cannot be plugged into the third connector male socket 31 and the fourth connector male socket 41. Through the setting of the fourth fool-proofing structure 614, the sixth connector male socket 61 cannot be plugged into the first connector female socket 11 and the second connector female socket 21. In this way, in the first component and the second component, the fifth connector female socket 51 and the sixth connector male socket 61 can only be plugged into each other and will not be confused with other connectors.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fifth connector female socket 51 includes a second female socket body 510 and a third fool-proofing structure 513 arranged at the end of the second female socket body 510; the sixth connector male socket 61 includes a second male socket body 610 and an fool-proofing matching structure 613 arranged at the end of the second male socket body 610, and the internal protrusion of the sixth connector male socket 61 is provided with a fourth fool-proofing structure 614; the dimensions of the second male socket body 610 and the second female socket body 510 match, and the outer contour dimensions of the third fool-proofing structure 513 and the fool-proofing matching structure 613 match.

[0054] The second female socket body 510 is an ordinary female connector, generally including a second female pin 511 and a second female pin seat 512 surrounding the second female pin 511. The third fool-proof structure 513 is arranged at the end of the second female socket body 510, which can be understood as the third fool-proof structure 513 is arranged at the end of the second female pin seat 512 in the length direction. The second male socket body 610 is an ordinary male connector, generally including a second male pin 611 and a second male socket groove 612, and the second male pin 611 is located inside the second male socket groove 612. Among them, the sizes of the second female pin seat 512 and the second male socket groove 612 match, and the two can just plug into each other. The fool-proof matching structure 613 is to be plugged in with the third fool-proof structure 513, and the structural sizes of the two match.

[0055] In some embodiments, the outer dimensions of the fifth connector female socket 51 are larger than the inner dimensions of the third connector male socket 31 and larger than the inner dimensions of the fourth connector male socket 41 , so that the fifth connector female socket 51 cannot be plugged into the third connector male socket 31 and the fourth connector male socket 41 .

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The third foolproof structure 513 is a second protruding bone structure; the foolproof matching structure 613 is a second shell recessed structure; the fourth foolproof structure 614 is a third protruding bone structure. The second protruding bone structure and the second shell recessed structure are plugged into each other. When the fifth connector female socket 51 and the sixth connector male socket 61 are plugged into each other, the second protruding bone structure and the third protruding bone structure are staggered.

[0057] By setting the second protruding bone position structure and the third protruding bone position structure, the fifth connector can be plugged in, and the fifth connector female seat 51 and the sixth connector male seat 61 can be plugged in with each other, but cannot be plugged in with other connectors.

[0058] In some embodiments, the second protruding bone structure is fixed to the shell of the fifth module 50 and can be integrally formed with the shell of the fifth module 50. The second shell recessed structure is a part of the shell of the sixth module 60 and is formed on the shell of the sixth module 60. The third protruding bone structure is fixed to the shell of the sixth module 60 and can be integrally formed with the shell of the sixth module 60.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the fifth connector female socket 51 and the sixth connector male socket 61 are plugged into each other, the second protruding bone structure and the third protruding bone structure fill the second shell recessed structure; the second protruding bone structure is extended along the edge of the second shell recessed structure.

[0060] The second raised bone position structure is extended along the edge of the second shell recessed structure, so that when the second raised bone position structure and the second female seat body 510 are combined with each other to form the fifth connector female seat 51, the formed outer contour matches the inner contour size of the sixth connector male seat 61, and the third raised bone position structure will not affect the plugging of the fifth connector female seat 51 and the sixth connector male seat 61.
