Similar to a human body, a humanoid robot includes a hip component, and the corresponding hip component includes a sacroiliac joint mechanism and a hip joint mechanism. The sacroiliac joint mechanism is arranged between the sacroiliac joint mechanism and the lower limb component to enable the free movement of the lower limb component, so as to simulate states such as walking, running, and jumping of a human.

[0003] In related technologies, the structural arrangement of the hip joint mechanism is complex and scattered, and the space utilization rate is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the purpose of the present application, the following technical solutions are provided in the present application:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a hip joint mechanism for a humanoid robot, including:

[0007] A first driving member for driving the lower limb component to rotate around a first axis, and the first axis has an inclined angle with the left-right direction of the humanoid robot;

[0008] A mounting bracket including a first plate, a second plate and a third plate connected in sequence. The first plate and the third plate are relatively spaced apart and are located on the same side of the second plate. The surface of the second plate facing away from the first plate is fixedly connected to the rotor of the first driving member;

[0009] A second driving member for driving the lower limb component to rotate around a second axis, and the housing of the second driving member is fixedly connected to the first plate;

[0010] A third driving member for driving the lower limb component to rotate around a third axis. The housing of the third driving member includes a connecting shell and a receiving shell. The connecting shell and the receiving shell are connected along the direction of the third axis and are located between the first plate and the third plate. The connecting shell is rotatably connected to the third plate, the connecting shell is fixedly connected to the rotor of the second driving member, the rotor and the stator of the third driving member are both received in the connecting shell and the receiving shell, and the rotor of the third driving member is used for fixedly connecting to the lower limb component.

[0011] With such a setting, while the housing of the third driving member houses and protects the rotor, stator and electronic components inside the third driving member, it also serves to connect with the mounting bracket and the second driving member, achieving the structural reuse of the third driving member. Moreover, with the connection of the first driving member, the second driving member and the third driving member on the mounting bracket, the cooperation realizes the movement of three degrees of freedom of the lower limb assembly. Therefore, the structural setting of the hip joint mechanism of the present invention is simple and has a high space utilization rate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second plate has a first surface and a second surface facing away from each other, and the second surface is closer to the first plate and the third plate than the first surface.

[0013] The second plate has an avoidance groove, the opening of the avoidance groove faces away from the first surface, and when the lower limb assembly rotates to the limit position around the second axis, at least part of the third driving member is received in the avoidance groove. The avoidance groove is provided on the second plate. When the lower limb assembly swings inward to the limit position, at least part of the third driving member is received in the avoidance groove. The avoidance groove can avoid the movement of the third driving member, thereby further increasing the swing angle of the lower limb assembly in the left-right direction of the humanoid robot and improving the anthropomorphic degree of the humanoid robot.

[0014] In one embodiment, the connecting shell includes a cylinder and a first connecting block, and the first connecting block is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder.

[0015] The first plate is provided with a mounting hole penetrating through itself, the rotor of the second driving member passes through the mounting hole, the rotor of the second driving member includes a second connecting block, the second connecting block is located between the first plate and the third plate, and the first connecting block is fixedly connected to the second connecting block. With such a setting, the contact area between the second driving member and the third driving member is increased to improve the connection stability between the second driving member and the third driving member and the structural strength of the hip joint mechanism.

[0016] In one embodiment, the dimension of the second connecting block in the radial direction of the mounting hole is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole, and the mounting bracket further includes a first limiting block, and the first limiting block is arranged on the surface of the first plate facing the second plate, and the first limiting block is used to limit the rotation angle of the second connecting block. When the rotor of the second driving member drives the third driving member to rotate to the limit angle around the second axis, the first limiting block abuts against the second connecting block to realize the limitation of the rotation angle of the third driving member.

[0017] In one embodiment, the connecting shell further includes a rotating part, which is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder body on the side facing away from the first connecting block, and the rotating part is rotatably connected to the third plate. With this arrangement, the movement of the third driving member around the second axis is smoother, and the anthropomorphic degree of the swing of the lower limb assembly in the left-right direction of the humanoid robot is higher.

[0018] In one embodiment, the cylinder body includes a main body part and a partition plate. One end of the main body part is connected to the receiving shell, the partition plate is arranged at the end of the main body part away from the receiving shell, the main body part encloses a first receiving space, the receiving shell encloses a second receiving space, the first receiving space and the second receiving space are communicated, and the first receiving space and the second receiving space house the rotor and stator of the third driving member. With this arrangement, the rotor and stator of the third driving member are reasonably housed inside the receiving shell, which is beneficial to improving the space utilization rate of the hip joint bracket and making the structural layout of the hip joint bracket more reasonable.

[0019] In one embodiment, the cylinder body further includes a mounting post, which is arranged on the surface of the partition plate facing away from the receiving shell; the third driving member further includes an electronic control module, and the electronic control module is fixedly connected to the mounting post;

[0020] The partition plate is provided with a through hole penetrating through itself, and the through hole communicates with the first receiving space, and a part of the structure of the rotor and / or stator of the third driving member is housed in the through hole. The arrangement of the mounting post makes the electronic control module spaced from the partition plate, so that a part of the structure of the rotor and / or stator of the third driving member is housed between the electronic control module and the partition plate, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the hip joint bracket.

[0021] In one embodiment, the electronic control module includes a circuit board and a wiring terminal. The circuit board has a first positioning groove, and the wiring terminal is arranged on the side of the circuit board close to the first positioning groove; the partition plate has a second positioning groove, and the second positioning groove communicates with the through hole, and the openings of the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove are arranged corresponding to each other. With this arrangement, during the installation process, the first positioning groove of the circuit board and the second positioning groove of the partition plate are arranged corresponding to each other, which is convenient for the installation of the circuit board. At the same time, the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove can also house the wiring of the electronic control module, and the wiring terminal is arranged on the side close to the first positioning groove, which helps to reduce the length of the wiring required by the wiring terminal and is convenient for wiring.

[0022] In one implementation, the cylinder body further has an annular partition, and the annular partition is arranged on the surface of the partition plate facing away from the housing shell; a weight-reducing groove is formed at the end of the main body portion facing away from the housing shell, and the weight-reducing groove is arranged outside the annular partition; the partition plate further has a first wire routing hole, and the first wire routing hole penetrates through the partition plate, and the first wire routing hole is arranged inside the annular partition. With such an arrangement, during the installation process of the electronic control module, the annular partition can provide a certain positioning function, the arrangement of the weight-reducing groove is beneficial to realizing the light weight of the hip joint mechanism, and the first wire routing hole makes the wire routing layout of the internal structure of the third driving member more reasonable.

[0023] In one implementation, the housing of the third driving member further includes a cover body, and the cover body is connected to one end of the connection shell facing away from the housing shell, and the electronic control module is housed in the cover body;

[0024] The second connecting block includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is fixedly connected to the first connecting block. The second connecting portion is connected to the first connecting portion and protrudes from the first connecting block. The second connecting portion is fixedly connected to the cover body. The second connecting portion has a first wire routing groove, and the opening of the first wire routing groove faces away from the first connecting portion;

[0025] The cover body has a second wire routing groove, and the opening of the second wire routing groove faces the connection shell, and the second wire routing groove is communicated with the first wire routing groove. With such an arrangement, while the cover body protects the electronic control module of the third driving member, it also improves the appearance of the hip joint bracket. The arrangement of the first wire routing groove and the second wire routing groove optimizes the wiring layout and saves the wiring space.

[0026] In one implementation, the housing shell includes a support member, a deceleration member and a limiting member connected in sequence. One end of the support member away from the deceleration member is connected to the cylinder body, and the deceleration structure of the third driving member is housed in the deceleration member; one end of the limiting member away from the deceleration member is used for rotatably connecting with the lower limb assembly, and the limiting member is used for limiting the rotation angle of the lower limb assembly. A limiting member is arranged on the hip joint structure to limit the swing amplitude of the lower limb assembly, so as to avoid instability or damage caused by excessive swing when the humanoid robot is walking, running or performing other actions. The arrangement of the deceleration member can change the torque and speed transmission of the third driving member, making the movement accuracy of the lower limb assembly higher.

[0027] In one embodiment, the support member includes a body and a baffle. The baffle is disposed at an end of the body away from the decelerating member. A first sub-accommodation space is defined by the body and the baffle. The baffle is provided with a connection hole therethrough, which communicates the first sub-accommodation space and the first accommodation space. The rotating shaft of the third driving member passes through the connection hole. The support member is further provided with a second wire routing hole, which is spaced from the connection hole. With such an arrangement, the first sub-accommodation space is used to accommodate the rotor and / or stator of the third driving member, and the second wire routing hole, in cooperation with the aforementioned wire routing groove and wire routing hole, optimizes the wire routing layout and saves the wire routing space.

[0028] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a hip assembly, including a sacroiliac joint mechanism and two hip joint mechanisms according to any one of the various embodiments of the first aspect. The sacroiliac joint mechanism is used to connect with the waist assembly and drive the waist assembly to rotate about a fourth axis. The included angle between the first axis and the fourth axis is A, satisfying: 90° < A ≤ 160°. The first driving members of the two hip joint mechanisms are respectively connected to opposite ends of the sacroiliac joint mechanism.

[0029] When A ≤ 90°, the included angle A between the first axis and the fourth axis is too small. When the humanoid robot is in an upright state, the lower limb assembly of the humanoid robot approaches the waist assembly, which may cause the lower limb assembly (i.e., the left leg and the right leg) of the humanoid robot to be unable to support the humanoid robot to complete normal standing. When A > 160°, the included angle A between the first axis and the fourth axis is too large. When the humanoid robot is in an upright state, the included angle between the lower limb assemblies (i.e., the left leg and the right leg) of the humanoid robot is too large, and the anthropomorphic movement of the leg assembly during walking cannot be achieved. When 90° < A ≤ 160°, the anthropomorphic degree of the humanoid robot is high when the humanoid robot is in an upright state.

[0030] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a humanoid robot, including a hip assembly according to any one of the various embodiments of the second aspect. With such an arrangement, the structural layout of the hip assembly of the humanoid robot of the present invention is compact and the space utilization rate is high.

[0050] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0051] Reference can be made to Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment of the present invention, a humanoid robot is provided, including a waist assembly (not shown), a lower limb assembly 2000 (partially shown), and a hip assembly 1000 in the embodiment of the present invention. The sacro - iliac joint mechanism 200 of the hip assembly 1000 is connected to the waist assembly, and the hip joint mechanism 100 of the hip assembly 1000 is connected to the lower limb assembly 2000.

[0052] There are no restrictions on the specific structures of the waist component and the lower limb component 2000, and both can be set to be humanoid in shape. The sacroiliac joint mechanism 200 of the hip component 1000 is connected to the waist component and can rotate relative to it, realizing the function of the sacroiliac joint similar to the human body structure. The hip joint mechanism 100 of the hip component 1000 is connected to the lower limb component 2000 and can rotate relative to it, realizing the function of the hip joint similar to the human body structure. For the convenience of subsequent description, a coordinate system XYZ is established, where the X direction is the left-right direction X of the humanoid robot, the Y direction is the front-back direction Y of the humanoid robot, and the Z direction is the up-down direction Z of the humanoid robot.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the unique hip joint mechanism 100, the structure of the hip joint mechanism 100 is reasonably arranged, and the structure of the third driving member 40 in the hip joint mechanism 100 is reused, improving the space utilization rate of the hip joint mechanism 100.

[0054] The hip joint mechanism 100 of the embodiment of the present invention will be introduced in detail below.

[0055] For reference Figures 2 to 6 , the present invention provides a hip joint mechanism 100 for a humanoid robot. The hip joint mechanism 100 includes a first driving member 10, a mounting bracket 20, a second driving member 30, and a third driving member 40. The first driving member 10 is used to drive the lower limb component 2000 to rotate around a first axis E1, and the first axis E1 has an inclined angle with the left-right direction X of the humanoid robot. The mounting bracket 20 includes a first plate 21, a second plate 22, and a third plate 23 connected in sequence. The first plate 21 and the third plate 23 are relatively spaced apart and are located on the same side of the second plate 22. The surface of the second plate 22 facing away from the first plate 21 is fixedly connected to the rotor of the first driving member 10. The second driving member 30 is used to drive the lower limb component 2000 to rotate around a second axis E2, and the housing of the second driving member 30 is fixedly connected to the first plate 21. The third driving member 40 is used to drive the lower limb component 2000 to rotate around a third axis E3. The housing of the third driving member 40 includes a connecting shell 41 and a receiving shell 42. The connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42 are connected along the direction of the third axis E3 and are located between the first plate 21 and the third plate 23. The connecting shell 41 is rotatably connected to the third plate 23, the connecting shell 41 is fixedly connected to the rotor of the second driving member 30, and the rotor and stator of the third driving member 40 are both received in the connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42. The rotor of the third driving member 40 is used to be fixedly connected to the lower limb component 2000.

[0056] The rotor of the third driving member 40 interacts with the magnetic field generated by the stator to generate a rotational torque, thereby driving the third driving member 40 to rotate. The rotor generally consists of a magnet (permanent magnet) and a conductor coil (for some types of motors), and can specifically be a pole rotor or an induction rotor. The stator generally includes a plurality of windings distributed along the direction of the rotation axis. The windings are wound with insulated wires and are used to generate an electromagnetic torque. The iron core of the stator is generally stacked by a plurality of thin silicon steel sheets to fix the coil and bear the electromagnetic torque. The high magnetic permeability and low loss characteristics of the silicon steel sheets enable the stator to effectively generate and maintain the magnetic field.

[0057] The rotor of the third driving member 40 can adopt an outer rotor structure, that is, the rotor is wrapped outside the stator; the rotor of the third driving member 40 can also be located inside the stator, without limitation.

[0058] Optionally, the connection method between the connection shell 41 and the rotor of the second driving member 30 can be screw connection, welding, bonding, snap connection, etc., without limitation.

[0059] Similarly, the first driving member 10 and the second driving member 30 can have the same structure as the third driving member 40 or different structures, without limitation.

[0060] Optionally, the outer shell of the first driving member 10 can be cylindrical, and the rotor and / or stator of the first driving member 10 are received in the outer shell. The outer shell is made of a material with a certain structural strength, and can be a metal material, a high-strength plastic, etc., without limitation.

[0061] Specifically, the first driving member 10 is used to drive the lower limb assembly 2000 to move around the first axis E1 to realize the front-back swing of the lower limb assembly 2000; the second driving member 30 is used to drive the lower limb assembly 2000 to rotate around the second axis E2 to realize the left-right swing of the lower limb assembly 2000; the third driving member 40 is used to drive the lower limb assembly 2000 to rotate around the third axis E3 to realize the self-rotation of the lower limb assembly 2000. The first driving member 10, the second driving member 30, and the third driving member 40 enable the lower limb assembly 2000 to have three degrees of freedom of movement. When the humanoid robot is in an upright state, the extending direction of the third axis E3 is the up-down direction Z of the humanoid robot.

[0062] Optionally, the first axis E1, the second axis E2, and the third axis E3 intersect at a point.

[0063] Optionally, reference can be made to Figure 1 , the first axis E1 has an inclined angle B with the left-right direction X of the humanoid robot, satisfying: 0° < B ≤ 70°, specifically, B can be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, 60°, 65°, 70°, etc., without limitation.

[0064] Optionally, the mounting bracket 20 is made of a material with high structural strength, specifically, it can be a metal material, high-strength plastic, ceramic, etc. The metal material can be, for example, aluminum, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, iron, and iron alloy, etc. The mounting bracket 20 can be an integral structure, that is, the first plate 21, the second plate 22, and the third plate 23 are an integral structure made by an integral molding process. The integral molding process can specifically be stamping, casting, etc., without limitation. The mounting bracket 20 can also be a split structure, and the first plate 21, the second plate 22, and the third plate 23 can be connected and fixed by means of welding, bonding, clamping, screwing, etc. The wall thickness of each part of the mounting bracket 20 can be approximately uniform, that is, the thicknesses of the first plate 21, the second plate 22, and the third plate 23 can be approximately uniform and consistent.

[0065] Optionally, the housing of the second driving member 30 is connected and fixed to the first plate 21, that is, the stator of the second driving member 30 is connected and fixed to the first plate 21.

[0066] Optionally, the first plate 21 and the third plate 23 are oppositely arranged in the extending direction of the second axis E2, and the orthographic projection of the first plate 21 in the extending direction of the second axis E2 is located within the third plate 23, that is, the area of the third plate 23 is larger than the area of the first plate 21, while ensuring the structural strength of the mounting bracket 20, the weight of the mounting bracket 20 is reduced, and the weight reduction of the hip joint mechanism 100 is realized.

[0067] Optionally, a transmission part is further provided on the surface of the second plate 22 facing away from the first plate 21, and the transmission part is connected to the rotor of the first driving member 10.

[0068] Optionally, the housing of the third driving member 40 is made of a material with high structural strength, and the housing of the third driving member 40 needs to have good insulation performance to prevent current from directly passing through the housing, thereby protecting the internal circuit of the third driving member 40 and the safety of personnel. Specifically, it can be high-strength plastic, ceramic, etc. When the housing of the third driving member 40 is a metal material, the third driving member 40 also needs to be provided with insulating materials (such as plastic gaskets, insulating coatings, etc.) to isolate the internal circuit to prevent current from directly passing through the housing. The connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42 can be an integral structure, that is, the connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42 are an integral structure made by an integral molding process. The integral molding process can specifically be stamping, casting, etc., without limitation. The connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42 can be a split structure, and the connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42 can be connected and fixed by means of welding, bonding, clamping, screwing, etc. The transition between the connecting shell 41 and the receiving shell 42 of the third driving member 40 is smooth.

[0069] Optionally, the maximum dimension of the first driving member 10 in the direction of the second axis E2 is d1, the dimensions of the surface of the first plate 21 facing away from the third plate 23 and the surface of the third plate 23 facing away from the first plate 21 in the direction of the second axis E2 are d2, and the maximum dimension of the third driving member 40 in the direction of the second axis E2 is d3, where d1 / d2 is 0.9 - 1.2 and d3 / d2 is 0.6 - 0.8. Optionally, d1 / d2 can be 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, etc., and d3 / d2 is 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, etc., without limitation. When d1 / d2 < 0.9, the size of the first driving member 10 is small, and the driving force on the mounting bracket 20 and the lower limb assembly 2000 around the first axis E1 is small; when d1 / d2 > 1.2, the size of the first driving member 10 is too large, which is not conducive to the lightweight of the humanoid robot, and the space occupancy ratio of the hip joint mechanism 100 is large; when 0.9 ≤ d1 / d2 ≤ 1.2, the size of the first driving member 10 is appropriate, which can not only drive the mounting bracket 20 and the lower limb assembly 2000 to rotate around the first axis E1, but also improve the space utilization rate of the hip joint mechanism 100. When d3 / d2 < 0.6, the size of the third driving member 40 is small, which is not conducive to driving the lower limb assembly 2000 to rotate around the third axis E3. When d3 / d2 > 0.8, the wall thickness of the first plate 21 and the third plate 23 is too thin, resulting in poor strength of the mounting bracket 20; when 0.6 ≤ d3 / d2 ≤ 0.8, the third driving member 40 reasonably utilizes the internal dimensions of the mounting bracket 20, can effectively drive the lower limb assembly 2000 to rotate around the third axis E3, and the wall thickness of the mounting bracket 20 can support the installation of multiple driving members, and the structural strength of the hip joint mechanism 100 is good.

[0070] With such a setting, while the housing of the third driving member 40 houses and protects the rotor, stator and electronic components inside the third driving member 40, it also has the function of connecting with the mounting bracket 20 and the second driving member 30, realizing the structural reuse of the third driving member 40. Moreover, with the connection of the mounting bracket 20, the first driving member 10, the second driving member 30 and the third driving member 40 cooperate to realize the movement of three degrees of freedom of the lower limb assembly 2000. Therefore, the structural setting of the hip joint mechanism 100 of the present invention is simple and the space utilization rate is high.

[0103] Optionally, the openings of the first positioning groove 4311 and the second positioning groove 4115 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0108] The annular partition 4116 can be a ring-shaped structure with its head and tail connected, or a ring-shaped structure with its head and tail spaced apart, without limitation. Specifically, when the head and tail of the annular partition 4116 are spaced apart, the partition at its head and tail corresponds to the opening of the first positioning groove 4311.

[0109] Optionally, there are multiple first wiring holes 4118, and the multiple first wiring holes 4118 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the through hole 4114.

[0124] A stopper 423 is provided on the hip joint structure to limit the swing amplitude of the lower limb assembly 2000, so as to avoid instability or damage caused by excessive swing when the humanoid robot is walking, running or performing other actions. The provision of the speed reducer 422 can change the torque and speed transmission of the third driving member 40, making the movement accuracy of the lower limb assembly 2000 higher.

[0125] For reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the support member 421 includes a body 4211 and a baffle 4212. The baffle 4212 is disposed at one end of the body 4211 away from the speed reducer 422. The body 4211 and the baffle 4212 enclose a first sub-receiving space. The baffle 4212 is provided with a connection hole 4213 that penetrates itself.

The support member 421 is further provided with a second wire passing hole 4214, and the second wire passing hole 4214 is spaced apart from the connection hole 4213.

[0126] The support member 421 can be an integral structure, that is, the body 4211 and the baffle 4212 are an integral structure made by an integral molding process. The integral molding process can specifically be stamping, casting, etc., without limitation. The support member 421 can also be a split structure, and the body 4211 and the baffle 4212 can be connected and fixed by welding, bonding, clamping, screwing, etc.

[0128] The connection hole 4213 can be coaxial with the through-hole 4114, or the axis of the connection hole 4213 can be parallel to the axis of the through-hole 4114.

[0129] With such a setting, the first sub-accommodation space is used to accommodate the rotor and / or stator of the third driving member 40, and the second wire through-hole 4214, in cooperation with the aforementioned wire grooves and wire through-holes, optimizes the wiring layout and saves wiring space.

[0130] For reference, Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present invention provides a hip assembly 1000, including a sacroiliac joint mechanism 200 and two hip joint mechanisms 100. The sacroiliac joint mechanism 200 is used to connect with the waist assembly and drive the waist assembly to rotate around the fourth axis E4. The included angle between the first axis E1 and the fourth axis E4 is A, satisfying: 90° < A ≤ 160°; the first driving members 10 of the two hip joint mechanisms 100 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the sacroiliac joint mechanism 200.

[0131] When the humanoid robot is in an upright state, the extending direction of the fourth axis E4 is the up-and-down direction Z of the humanoid robot, and the third axis E3 is parallel to the fourth axis E4.

[0132] Optionally, the two hip joint mechanisms 100 are symmetrically arranged relative to the fourth axis E4. It should be understood that the symmetry in this embodiment means the symmetrical setting when the two hip joint mechanisms 100 drive the lower limb assemblies 2000 (i.e., the left leg and the right leg) symmetrically. For example, when the lower limb assemblies 2000 are both in an upright state or in a state with the same included angle with the fourth axis E4, the two hip joint mechanisms 100 are symmetric relative to the fourth axis E4. From another perspective, when one hip joint mechanism 100 is in a certain posture relative to the fourth axis E4, the other hip joint mechanism 100 can reach another posture that is symmetric to the aforementioned hip joint mechanism 100 relative to the fourth axis E4 through posture adjustment.

[0133] Specifically, A can be 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 145°, 150°, 155°, 160°, etc., without limitation.

[0134] Optionally, one end of the hip joint mechanism 100 away from the sacroiliac joint mechanism 200 is closer to another hip joint mechanism 100 than the end of the hip joint mechanism 100 close to the sacroiliac joint mechanism 200. Specifically, the two hip joint mechanisms 100 gradually approach each other along the direction close to the fourth axis E4.

[0135] Optionally, one end of the hip joint mechanism 100 away from the sacroiliac joint mechanism 200 is farther from the sacroiliac joint mechanism 200 than the end of the hip joint mechanism 100 close to the sacroiliac joint mechanism 200. Specifically, the two hip joint mechanisms 100 gradually move away from each other along the direction away from the fourth axis E4.

[0136] When A≤90°, the angle A between the first axis E1 and the fourth axis E4 is too small. When the humanoid robot is in an upright state, the lower limb components 2000 of the humanoid robot approach the waist component, which may cause the lower limb components 2000 (i.e., the left leg and the right leg) of the humanoid robot to be unable to support the humanoid robot to complete normal standing; when A>160°, the angle A between the first axis E1 and the fourth axis E4 is too large. When the humanoid robot is in an upright state, the angle between the lower limb components 2000 (i.e., the left leg and the right leg) of the humanoid robot is too large, and the anthropomorphic movement of the leg components during walking cannot be achieved; when 90°<A≤160°, the anthropomorphic degree of the humanoid robot is high when the humanoid robot is in an upright state.

[0137] The present invention provides a humanoid robot, including a hip component 1000. With such a setting, the structural layout of the hip component 1000 of the humanoid robot of the present invention is compact, and the space utilization rate is high.

Those of ordinary skill in the art can understand all or part of the processes of implementing the above embodiments, and the equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application still fall within the scope covered by the present application.
