Through the settings of the limit block 10 and the limit slot 12, the limit between the pin 16 and the receiving hole 14 can be carried out to prevent the pin 16 from becoming loose from the inside of the receiving hole 14. Through the settings of the operating disc 5 and the anti-slip pattern, during the installation or disassembly operation, the personnel can sleeved the jacks corresponding to the three fixing rods 8 on the right side of the operating disc 5 on the surface of the fixing rod 8, so that the personnel can rotate or press and push the three fixing rods 8 by operating the operating disc 5 at the same time, which brings great convenience to the work of the personnel.

[0033] Embodiment 3:

[0034] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as shown in the present invention Figures 2-6 shows that a guide groove 21 is opened in the middle end of the latch 18, a guide block 23 is fixedly connected to the surface of the through hole 24, the surface of the guide block 23 is movably connected to the surface of the guide groove 21, a second spring 22 is fixedly connected between the surface of the guide block 23 and the surface of the guide groove 21, a guide ball 15 is movably connected between the surface of the rotating disc 11 and the inner cavity of the fixed seat 3, a reinforcing plate 26 is fixedly connected between the inner cavity of the annular frame 20 and the right side of the rotating disc 11, the shape of the reinforcing plate 26 is triangular, the number of the card slots 17, the through holes 24, the latches 18 and the guide plates 25 is eight, positioning grooves 7 are opened on the periphery of the left side of the mounting seat 2, positioning blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the left end of the outer surface of the fixed seat 3, and the surface of the positioning block 6 is movably connected to the surface of the positioning groove 7.

[0035] In this technical solution, through the settings of the guiding groove 21, the guiding block 23, and the second spring 22, the purpose of guiding between the clamping rod 18 and the through hole 24 is achieved. While preventing the clamping rod 18 from disengaging from the inside of the through hole 24, the clamping rod 18 can be elastically supported, so that during the disassembly process, under the pre-compressed tension of the second spring 22, the clamping rod 18 can be separated from the clamping groove 17.

Through the settings of the positioning groove 7 and the positioning block 6, the purpose of positioning between the fixed seat 3 and the mounting seat 2 is achieved, ensuring that the clamping rod 18 and the clamping groove 17 do not become misaligned during the connection between the fixed seat 3 and the mounting seat 2.

[0036] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When it is necessary to install the joint module body 1 between the humanoid robot joint 4, by inserting the fixed seat 3 at the right end of the joint module body 1 into the mounting seat 2 at the lower end of the humanoid robot joint 4, the mounting seat 2 can effectively limit the periphery of the fixed seat 3, preventing the joint module body 1 and the fixed seat 3 from shifting in the front-back and up-down directions. Subsequently, by manipulating the rotation of the rotating disc 11, the annular frame 20 can be driven to rotate. While the annular frame 20 rotates, the guide plate 25 can be driven to rotate. Under the action of the rotation of the guide plate 25, it can contact the surface of the supporting ball 19 at the bottom of the clamping rod 18, and the guide plate 25 can push the supporting ball 19 and the clamping rod 18 to move through the inclined surface. During the movement of the clamping rod 18, it can gradually protrude to one side of the through hole 24 until the clamping rod 18 can be inserted into the clamping groove 17 on the mounting seat 2, thereby effectively locking and limiting the joint module body 1, the fixed seat 3, the mounting seat 2, and the humanoid robot joint 4, preventing the joint module body 1 and the fixed seat 3 from shifting in the left-right direction, and thus achieving the purpose of quickly installing and fixing the joint module body 1 between the humanoid robot joint 4. The overall operation is convenient and fast, effectively saving the time required for the installation operation, and greatly improving the efficiency of the installation operation.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
