[0013] Optionally, the upper shell and the lower shell are snap-connected to each other and overlap each other at both ends of the air duct to form the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0034] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, a fuselage assembly of a robot is provided, including: a housing, a battery compartment 23, a fan 21, and a control module 11; a wind channel penetrating both sides of the housing is arranged inside the housing, the wind channel has an air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13, and the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are shielded; the battery compartment 23 is arranged inside the housing and is used for placing a battery module 22, and the battery compartment 23 and the inner wall of the housing form part of the wind channel; the fan 21 is arranged inside the housing and is located on one side of the battery compartment 23 close to the air inlet 12 or the air outlet 13; the control module 11 is arranged on one side of the battery compartment 23 and is located inside the wind channel, and the fan 21 is electrically connected to the control module 11.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fuselage assembly of the provided robot includes a control module 11 and a battery compartment 23 arranged inside the housing, wherein the battery compartment 23 is used for placing a battery module 22, and the battery module 22 is used for supplying power to the entire robot, and the control module 11 is used for controlling the movement of the entire robot or the working state of other functional components, for example, it can control the fan 21 inside the housing to work.

[0037] In the above embodiment, by arranging the control module 11 on one side of the battery compartment 23, on the one hand, the compactness of the entire fuselage assembly is improved, and on the other hand, the fan 21 arranged on one side of the air inlet 12 or the air outlet 13 can cause strong air convection to form inside the wind channel penetrating both sides of the housing. Refer to Figure 2, thereby enabling the control module 11 located in the air duct and the battery compartment 23 forming part of the air duct to dissipate heat through strong convection. The battery module 22 and the control module 11 in the battery compartment 23 are usually the components with the highest heat generation in the body assembly. Therefore, the setting of the air duct greatly improves the heat dissipation effect of the entire body assembly. Among them, the position of the fan 21 can also be set according to actual needs, for example, set at one end of the air duct, as long as strong convection can be formed in the air duct, and there is no limitation here.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are shielded, which means that the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are not directly exposed outside the housing, but are blocked or concealed through structural design or other components, so that the shielding structure or components can play a certain blocking role on external water vapor, sundries, etc., thereby improving the waterproof, dustproof and other protection effects of the entire body assembly. And based on the strong convection in the air duct is realized by the fan 21, so that even if the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are shielded, the connection between the air duct and the outside can be realized, without affecting the heat dissipation effect of the body assembly.

[0039] In addition, in the above embodiment, the position setting of the battery compartment 23 and the inner wall of the housing enables it to form a part of the air duct, and the control module 11 is arranged on one side of the battery compartment 23 and is in the air duct. The heat dissipation components are concentrated in one place, improving the compactness of the core component structure design, reducing the occupied space of the air duct in the housing, and improving the heat dissipation effect. Among them, the battery compartment 23 can be a structural member independent of the housing and fixed in the housing, or a receiving cavity formed by the inward protrusion of the housing, and there is no limitation here.

[0040] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, at least two fans 21 are provided, and the at least two fans 21 are respectively located on both sides of the battery compartment 23 and are close to the air inlet 12 or the air outlet 13.

[0041] Specifically, in actual application, in order to enhance the convection effect in the air duct, the number of fans 21 can be set to multiple, for example, two fans 21 are set, respectively located on both sides of the battery compartment 23 close to the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13, or four fans 21 are set, and two fans 21 are set on each side of the battery compartment 23 close to the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13, so that the heat of the battery module 22 in the battery compartment 23 and the control module 11 located in the air duct can be dissipated quickly and effectively, ensuring the working performance of the battery module 22 and the control module 11, and improving the safety and reliability of the robot.

[0042] For example, in one embodiment, the battery module is relatively large and is arranged in the battery compartment 23. The control module 11 is a circuit board, which is assembled on the upper side of the battery compartment 23 and located in the air duct. On the front and rear sides of the battery compartment 23 (i.e., Figure 5 the left and right sides in Figure 2 ), two fans 21 are respectively arranged. When the control module 11 controls the fans 21 to start, the strong air convection formed by the fans 21 in the air duct is as shown in

[0043] . The air flow can pass through the front side, upper side and rear side of the battery compartment 23, as well as the upper and lower sides of the circuit board, achieving the maximum contact area with the circuit board and the battery compartment 23, and further achieving the purpose of enhancing the heat dissipation effect. Figure 2 Optionally, referring to

[0044] , waterproof and breathable structures are respectively arranged at the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, except for the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13, which are in communication with the external environment, the rest of the inside of the housing is hermetically connected, so that a sealed space is formed inside the housing, improving the waterproof and dustproof effects of the body components. Further, waterproof and breathable accessories such as foam and waterproof breathable membranes can be arranged at the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13, which can prevent water vapor from flowing into the inside of the housing but do not affect the air circulation, making the waterproof effect of the entire body components better and improving the waterproof level of the robot body components. Figures 2 to 5 Optionally, referring to

[0046] , the housing includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2 that are hermetically connected to each other, and the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are formed at the connection between the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing includes an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2 that are connected to each other, and the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are arranged at the connection position between the two. On the one hand, it is convenient for the manufacturing and installation of the housing structure, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the detailed design of the structural forms at the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 to achieve the shielding or waterproof and dustproof effects, reducing the manufacturing cost. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are snap-connected to each other and overlap at both ends of the air duct to form the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are snap-connected to each other and overlap at both ends of the air duct, so that the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 form a retaining wall for shielding, as shown in Figure 3As shown, after air is drawn in at the air inlet 12 by the fan 21, when the air flows from the outside to the inside of the housing, it will be blocked by the retaining wall on the lower housing 2 and flow upward, and then enter the interior of the housing. Thus, water vapor, dust, etc. can be blocked outside the housing by the retaining wall, improving the waterproof, dustproof and other protection effects of the body assembly. As Figure 4 shown, the design of the air outlet 13 is the same as that of the air inlet 12, which is convenient for the structural design of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. And in some embodiments, the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 can be used alternately, that is, the air flow direction in the air duct can be changed by the fan 21, which is specifically controlled according to actual needs.

[0049] Optionally, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, a battery compartment 23 is formed on one side of the lower housing 2 close to the upper housing 1, and a fan bracket is also provided on the lower housing 2, and the fan 21 is assembled on the fan bracket.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the battery compartment 23 is formed on the lower housing 2, that is, the lower housing 2 and the battery compartment 23 are of an integral structure. The fan brackets are integrally formed at both ends of the battery compartment 23, further improving the compactness of the internal structure of the body assembly. The setting of the fan brackets improves the stability and reliability of the setting of the fan 21 and facilitates the formation of strong convection in the air duct. In addition, the fan brackets are integrally arranged on both sides of the battery compartment 23, which is beneficial to the air flow through the front and rear sides of the battery compartment 23, further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0051] Optionally, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the body assembly further includes a battery module 22, and the battery module 22 is detachably assembled in the battery compartment 23 through a lock 221 and is electrically connected to the control module 11.

[0052] Specifically, in actual application, the battery module 22 is detachably assembled in the battery compartment 23, which is convenient for the disassembly and replacement of the battery module 22 and improves the maintenance efficiency. In some embodiments, a lock 221 can be provided on the battery module 22, and an unlocking button 231 is provided at the corresponding position of the battery compartment 23. When the battery module 22 is assembled in the battery compartment 23, the lock 221 can lock the battery module 22 in the battery compartment 23, and when the battery module 22 needs to be replaced or repaired, only the unlocking button 231 needs to be pressed, improving the convenience of disassembling the battery module 22. Among them, the specific form of the lock 221 can be designed as a buckle or the like according to actual needs, and no limitation is made here.

[0053] Optionally, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the housing further includes a front shell 3 and a rear shell 4. The front shell 3 is connected to one side of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 corresponding to the air inlet 12, and the rear shell 4 is connected to one side of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 corresponding to the air outlet 13. The front shell 3 and the rear shell 4 can respectively shield the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13.

[0054] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air duct runs through the front and rear sides of the fuselage assembly, so that the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 are respectively located on the front side and the rear side of the housing. During movement, the air flow effect can be enhanced. The settings of the front shell 3 and the rear shell 4 can, on the one hand, improve the aesthetics of the entire fuselage assembly and shield the front and rear parts of the components, playing a protective role. On the other hand, they can block the positions of the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13 to prevent external moisture, etc. from directly entering the fuselage assembly in harsh environments, such as when it is raining or snowing, further improving the protection effect of the fuselage assembly.

[0055] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, the front shell 3 has a first accommodation cavity, and the rear shell 4 has a second accommodation cavity. The first accommodation cavity and the second accommodation cavity are respectively communicated with the outside on the side far from the upper shell 1. The air inlet 12 is communicated with the first accommodation cavity, and the air outlet 13 is communicated with the second accommodation cavity.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first accommodation cavity provided in the front shell 3 and the second accommodation cavity provided in the rear shell 4 can be used to install the leg structure 5 of the robot. In addition, the first accommodation cavity is communicated with the air inlet 12, and the second accommodation cavity is communicated with the air outlet 13, so that while the air duct is communicated with the external environment, it can also be shielded by the front shell 3 and the rear shell 4, ensuring the protection effect of the fuselage assembly.

[0057] Furthermore, the first accommodation cavity and the second accommodation cavity are communicated with the outside from the side far from the upper shell 1, that is, the opening directions of the two accommodation cavities face the ground side, so that they can form a certain shielding effect on the leg structure 5 and the internal structure of the fuselage assembly, improving the overall safety of the robot.

[0058] According to the second aspect of the present application, as Figure 7 shown, a robot is provided, including: a leg structure 5 and the fuselage assembly of the first aspect. The leg structure 5 is assembled on the fuselage assembly and is electrically connected to the control module 11.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the provided robot adopts the fuselage structure provided in the first aspect. The number of leg structures 5 can be set to two or four according to actual needs to form a bipedal robot or a quadrupedal robot. Among them, the leg structure 5 can be assembled on the housing, and its electrical control part is connected to the control module 11 of the fuselage assembly to realize the overall control and movement of the robot. Based on the advantages of good heat dissipation effect, good protection effect, high compactness, etc. of the fuselage assembly provided in the first aspect of the present application, the overall reliability and safety of the robot are higher.
