[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0017] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 A modular robot with a magnetic structure includes a main control module 1, and further includes: a middleware module 3 arranged at one side of the main control module 1, a terminal function module 2 is arranged on the main control module 1; a magnetic connection component is arranged on the main control module 1 and the middleware module 3, an expansion system component is arranged on the main control module 1 and the middleware module 3, an information transmission component is arranged on the terminal function module 2 and the middleware module 3, and a magnetic seat 10 is arranged on the side of the terminal function module 2 and the middleware module 3 close to the main control module 1;
[0018] In actual use, the main control module 1 and the middleware module 3 as well as the terminal function module 2 can be quickly connected through the magnetic connection components. At the same time, power transmission and data information or command information transmission can be achieved under the action of the expansion system components and the information transmission components.
[0019] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 The magnetic connection component includes a magnet 4, and four magnets 4 are provided. The four magnets 4 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the end faces of the main control module 1 and the middleware module 3; in actual use, the four magnets 4 are respectively connected to the corresponding magnetic seats 10 to achieve magnetic connection. The magnet 4 provides connection suction between accessories, positioning during assembly between accessories, and foolproofing during assembly between accessories. At the same time, through this connection method, the probability of damage to different functional components due to falling or collision of the equipment is reduced during actual use.
[0020] The expansion system component includes a female socket 5 arranged on the main control module 1 and the middleware module 3, electromagnetic mutual induction coils 7 are arranged at both ends of the female socket 5, and multiple contacts 6 are arranged between the electromagnetic mutual induction coils 7. The electromagnetic mutual induction coils 7 are non-contact wireless information interaction components, and non-contact wireless information transmission can be realized under the action of the electromagnetic mutual induction coils 7.
[0021] The information transmission component includes a sensor socket 8 provided on the terminal function module 2 and the middleware module 3, a signal transmission socket 9 is provided on the sensor socket 8, the sensor socket 8 is provided in a corresponding manner with the contact 6, and the contact 6 is connected with the sensor socket 8 to realize power transmission and transmission of data information or command information;
[0022] In the actual implementation process, it can be selected that a terminal function module 2 can also be set on the expansion system component on one side of the middleware module 3. The terminal function module 2 can have other functions, thereby making the overall function of the robot richer.
[0023] The present invention uses a magnetic structure between different functional components of the robot, and the functional components are provided with wireless contacts 6 and data exchange fixing devices. The present invention reduces the difficulty of operation of the robot when expanding functional components and the restrictions on various aspects of operation. For example, when such robots are used as early childhood education robots, they are free from age restrictions, and young children can replace robot parts; when used as desktop robot toys, they can reduce the user's attention when replacing accessories, and robot accessories can be replaced with one hand. The magnetic structure can also reduce the probability of damage to the robot when it falls, because when the impact exceeds the magnetic force, the components will be separated, unlike the traditional buckle structure, which will have the risk of breakage when impacted; at the same time, when replacing accessories, the robot obtains the accessory information through the wireless interaction device, and will also perform corresponding operations, such as changes in facial expressions and changes in the status of other functional parts. The function of mobile interaction can be realized in conjunction with the rotating / moving magnetic module.
