[0022] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a shoulder joint assembly 10 for a humanoid robot, comprising a shoulder joint housing 11, a first driving member 12 and a second driving member 13, the shoulder joint housing 11 comprising a first cylinder 111 and a second cylinder 112, the outer peripheral surface of the second cylinder 112 being connected to an axial end of the first cylinder 111, the first cylinder 111 having a first axis L1, the second cylinder 112 having a second axis L2, the first axis L1 and the second axis L2 intersecting and being perpendicular, a surface passing through the first axis L1 and being perpendicular to the second axis L2 being a reference surface M; the second cylinder 112 comprising a first surface 1121 and a second surface 1122 which are opposite in the axial direction Surface 1122, the distance between the first surface 1121 and the reference surface M is smaller than the distance between the second surface 1122 and the reference surface M; the first driving member 12 is connected to the first cylinder 111 and is coaxial with the first cylinder 111, and the first driving member 12 is used to drive the shoulder joint housing 11 to rotate around the first axis L1; the second driving member 13 is passed through the second cylinder 112 and is coaxial with the second cylinder 112, and one end of the second driving member 13 extending out of the second surface 1122 is used to connect with the upper arm assembly 20, and the axial midpoint of the second driving member 13 is located on the first axis L1, and the second driving member 13 is used to drive the upper arm assembly 20 to rotate around the second axis L2.
[0024] Optionally, the second drive member 13 is connected and fixed to the second surface 1122. Optionally, in the orthographic projection of the first axis L1, the contour shape of the first cylinder 111 is a circular ring, and in the orthographic projection of the second axis L2, the inner wall surface contour of the second cylinder 112 is a circular ring. Optionally, the outer circumferential surface of the first cylinder 111 is smoothly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the second cylinder 112. Optionally, the outer shell of the first drive member 12 is used to connect with the trunk assembly, and the output end of the first drive member 12 is connected to the first cylinder 111. Optionally, the outer shell of the second drive member 13 is penetrated through the second cylinder 112 and connected to the second cylinder 112, and the output end of the second drive member 13 extends from the second surface 1122 for connection with the upper arm assembly 20. Optionally, the shoulder joint housing 11 also includes a first end plate 113, the first end plate 113 is connected to one end of the second cylinder 112 in the axial direction and forms the first surface 1121, and the outer shell of the first drive member 12 is connected to the first end plate 113. Optionally, the first end plate 113 and the first driving member 12 may be detachably connected by means of snap connection, screw connection, riveting, etc., without limitation.
[0025] Optionally, the distance between the first surface 1121 and the reference surface M is D1, and the distance between the second surface 1122 and the reference surface M is D2, satisfying 0.2≤D1 / D2<1, so that the second drive member 13 has higher stability when driving the upper arm assembly 20 to rotate, reducing the risk of shaking or swaying of the second drive member 13 and the second cylinder 112. Since the second drive member 13 has a certain length in the extension direction of the second axis L2, when 1<D1 / D2, a part of the second drive member 13 will protrude from the first cylinder 111, resulting in poor anthropomorphism of the shoulder joint assembly 10. Since the first cylinder 111 is a cylindrical structure, when D1 / D2<0.2, the connection area between the second cylinder 112 and the first cylinder 111 is too small, resulting in a decrease in the structural strength of the shoulder joint housing 11, which is not conducive to improving the stability of the shoulder joint assembly 10.
[0026] By setting the distance between the first surface 1121 and the reference plane M to be smaller than the distance between the second surface 1122 and the reference plane M, the second driving member 13 is penetrated through the second cylinder 112 and is coaxial with the second cylinder 112, and the end of the second driving member 13 extending out of the second surface 1122 is used for connecting with the upper arm assembly 20, and the axial midpoint of the second driving member 13 is located on the first axis L1, so that under the premise of reducing the mass of the second cylinder 112, the connection position between the second cylinder 112 and the second driving member 13 is closer to the output end of the second driving member 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the second driving member 13 when driving the upper arm assembly 20 to rotate, while reducing the torque and volume of the first driving member 12, thereby improving the lightweight degree of the shoulder joint assembly 10.

Correspondingly, the equivalent aperture of the first structural hole 1113 is greater than the equivalent aperture of the first structural hole 1113, so that the first cylinder 111 meets the structural strength requirements while minimizing the mass of the first cylinder 111. Optionally, the side wall of the first structural hole 1113 close to the second cylinder 112 is a plane, and the remaining side walls of the first structural hole 1113 are composed of an arc surface, so that the bottom wall surface of the first groove 1111 forms an arc-shaped plate-like structure with equal width at one end, so that the stress distribution of the first cylinder 111 at the first structural hole 1113 is uniform, and it is not easy to cause deformation and damage to the first cylinder 111. Optionally, the structure of the second structural hole 1114 is similar to that of the first structural hole 1113 , and reference may be made thereto without further elaboration.
[0029] By arranging the first cylinder 111 at two opposite ends in the extension direction of the second axis L2, the first groove 1111 and the second groove 1112 are respectively provided, the inner wall of the first groove 1111 is smoothly connected to the first surface 1121, and the inner wall of the second groove 1112 is smoothly connected to the second surface 1122; the inner wall of the first groove 1111 is provided with a first structural hole 1113, and the inner wall of the second groove 1112 is provided with a second structural hole 1114, and the first structural hole 1113 and the second structural hole 1114 are both connected to the internal space of the first cylinder 111, so that the mass of the first cylinder 111 is reduced while having sufficient structural strength, and the torque and volume of the first driving member 12 are further reduced, which is beneficial to improving the lightweight degree of the shoulder joint assembly 10.
