[0025] The following is a further detailed description of the specific implementation methods of the present invention, such as the shape, structure, relative position and connection relationship between the various components involved, the function and working principle of each part, the manufacturing process and operation method, etc., through the description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-6 The figure shows a base 1, wherein the base 1 is the main support member, and the wheels 12 are connected to the base 1 for the movement of the intelligent housekeeper robot. In this embodiment, the four ranging radars 13 and the four side sensors 14 cooperate with each other to enable the intelligent housekeeper robot to move accurately. The side sensor 14 can use a visual mechanism, such as a camera, so that the surrounding environment can be accurately identified and located through camera recognition and ranging radar 13 ranging. The overall control is similar to the intelligent driving of a car. The camera can make up for the singleness of the data recognition of the ranging radar 13, and the ranging radar 13 can improve the recognition accuracy of the camera.

[0027] The intelligent housekeeper robot includes a body 2. In the present embodiment, the body 2 is located above the base 1, and two robotic arms 9 are located on both sides of the body 2. The robotic arm base 901 in the robotic arm 9 can rotate, and the rotating robotic claw 903 includes a camera 10, which can identify the item before grabbing it. The drawer 11 is located on the front of the body 2. After the robotic arm 9 grabs the item, it can be placed in the drawer 11. The mobile camera 8 can rotate and move around the body 2 to take pictures in four directions outside the body 2. The body 2 contains a cavity, and the battery 17 is located in the cavity. The robotic arm 9 is a conventional multi-axis robotic arm 902. The number of arms can be reduced or the form of the arm can be changed according to work needs to reduce costs or meet different scene requirements.

[0028] The intelligent housekeeper robot includes a robot head 3. In this embodiment, a storage rack 4 is used to connect with the robot head 3, and the storage rack 4 is located above the robot head 3; the touch screen 6 is used to connect with the robot head 3. In this embodiment, the touch screen 6 is located in front of the robot head 3; the front camera 5 is used to connect with the robot head 3, and the touch screen 6 can interact, such as displaying facial expressions, or directly prompting in the form of pictures, texts, etc. When it is necessary to select an operation or set parameters for the robot, it can also be operated directly through the touch screen 6, which can not only complete the anthropomorphic function, but also realize the convenient control function. The front camera 5 is located above the touch screen 6; the speaker 7 is used to connect with the robot head 3. The camera is used to locate the user's position and identify the area where the service operation is about to be performed. For example, if dirty clothes need to be collected and washed in the washing machine, the camera can be used to identify the dirty clothes or the dirty clothes basket under the guidance of the user after the recognition instruction, and then the robot arm 902 is used to carry it to complete the subsequent operation. The speakers 7 are located on two sides of the robot head 3 and are used to emit and collect sounds. A microphone is also needed to identify the user's commands and further enhance the interactive capabilities. The control motherboard 18 is used to connect to the robot head 3. It is preferred to place the control motherboard 18 in the internal cavity of the human head of the machine body 2.

[0029] The solar panel base 211, the connecting telescopic frame 212, and the solar panel 213 constitute a solar panel system. When the smart housekeeper robot is low on power and there is no power supply in the environment, it will actively open the movable back cover 15 and use the telescopic connecting frame to extend the solar panel 213 to power the battery 17. The solar energy equipment is stored in a folding manner, which can improve the overall aesthetics of the robot and can automatically use the sun to charge when needed. Especially when the robot is used outdoors, it can reduce the frequency of returning to the base station for charging.

[0030] A battery 17 is provided inside the robot, and the battery 17 supplies power to various electrical devices of the entire robot. The control mainboard 18 is the control core. The front camera 5 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18, the touch screen 6 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18, and the speaker 7 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18; the mobile camera 8 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18; the mechanical arm 902 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18, the camera 10 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18, and the wheel 12 is used to be electrically connected to the control mainboard 18. , the ranging radar 13 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the side sensor 14 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the movable back cover 15 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the battery 17 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the GPS module 19 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the Bluetooth module 20 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the solar panel 21 is used to be electrically connected to the control main board 18, the battery 17 provides power for each component in the device, and the robot sets the intelligent butler robot through the touch screen 6.

[0031] The control mainboard 18 may be integrated with WLAN to connect to the home WI FI, or other signal devices may be integrated on the control mainboard 18. When the user is far away from the smart housekeeper robot, the user may connect to the smart housekeeper robot through a mobile phone or other smart device, and control the smart housekeeper robot through the mobile phone or other smart device.

[0032] In particular, after connecting the robot to the home network, the robot can be used as a part of the smart home, using the microphone on its own device and the speakers in different home spaces to interact with the Internet of Things. In a home environment, there is generally only one robot, but there may be multiple speakers, one of which is set up in different spaces. At this time, when any device collects the wake-up word, it will respond. If the robot is near the user, the robot will respond directly, such as "Hello, master, I'm here!" If a speaker is awakened, it will respond synchronously and report the estimated time to reach the current speaker position, such as "Hello, master, I'll be there soon. I'm in room xx and will arrive in 1 minute. Please wait." In order to avoid the user from worrying, it will not respond once at an interval set time. For example, if there is no interval of 20 seconds, the speaker will reply, "It will be there in xx seconds, wait a moment, master." When the robot arrives, it will respond to the wake-up operation again, "Hello, master, I'm here! Please give me your instructions." The speaker's own positioning is used in conjunction with the robot's automatic movement to achieve wake-up and summoning at any location, thereby improving the user experience of the smart butler.

[0033] In summary, the present invention provides an intelligent housekeeper robot; the present invention controls non-intelligent machines or semi-intelligent machines through a mechanical arm 9, and controls intelligent machines through modules integrated on the control mainboard 18, such as a screen, a control mainboard 18, a GPS module 19, and a Bluetooth module 20; a solar panel 21 is provided, and when the intelligent housekeeper robot is low on power and there is no power supply in the environment, the movable back cover 15 will be actively opened, and a retractable connecting frame will be used to extend the solar panel 213 to power the battery 17; a drawer 11 and a storage rack 4 are provided for storing items grabbed by the robot's mechanical arm 9, and a mobile camera 8 is provided, which can be moved to the four sides of the robot, greatly improving the convenience and greatly saving the user's time.
