DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor based on the embodiments in the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] Example 1 See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the humanoid robot provided in this application includes a foot module and a leg module; the foot module includes a foot support 124, a protective cover, and a protective base plate; the protective base plate includes a buffer layer 132 and a wear-resistant layer 133, the buffer layer 132 is connected to the bottom of the foot support 124, and the wear-resistant layer 133 is connected to the bottom of the buffer layer 132; the protective cover is connected to the protective base plate and is placed on top of the foot support 124; the protective cover has an opening 135, through which the leg module passes to connect with the foot support 124.

[0023] Specifically, the buffer layer 132 is located at the bottom of the foot support 124, providing protection and cushioning to reduce vibration during robot movement and increase stability. The buffer layer 132 is connected to the foot support 124 via screws and washers. The wear-resistant layer 133, specifically a rubber layer, is located at the bottom of the buffer layer 132, enhancing the wear resistance of the robot's foot module and extending its service life. Optionally, the wear-resistant layer 133 and the buffer layer 132 are detachably connected, allowing the wear-resistant layer 133 to be replaced when it shows significant wear.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the protective cover 134 is located on top of the buffer layer 132 and connected to the circumferential edge of the buffer layer 132. The protective cover 134 covers the upper surface of the foot support 124 to provide protection. The protective cover 134 is provided with an opening 135 through which the leg module can pass to connect with the foot support 124.

[0025] The humanoid robot provided in this application absorbs vibration by setting a buffer layer 132 at the bottom of the foot support 124, reducing the degree to which vibration is transmitted upward to the ankle joint, calf and even hip joint; the wear-resistant layer 133 set at the bottom of the buffer layer 132 has good wear resistance and prevents the buffer layer 132 from breaking prematurely; the protective cover 134 set at the top of the buffer layer 132 can protect the top surface of the foot support 124.

[0026] In the optional solutions of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the foot module also includes a fourth drive mechanism and a cross shaft 129; the foot support 124 is provided with a fixing member 128, and the leg module is connected to the fixing member 128 through the cross shaft 129 so that the foot support 124 can swing relative to the leg module; the fourth drive mechanism is installed on the leg module to drive the foot support 124 to swing relative to the leg module.

[0027] In this embodiment, the structure introduces a cross shaft 129 as a mechanical connection hub, and works with a fourth drive mechanism to provide active driving torque, thereby achieving multi-directional swing control of the foot support 124 in space. The cross shaft 129 has two mutually perpendicular rotational degrees of freedom (typically corresponding to pitch and roll), allowing the foot support 124 to automatically adjust its posture according to the ground slope during walking.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the fourth drive mechanism specifically includes a fourth drive device 125, a second connector 126, and an ankle link 127. The fourth drive device 125 is mounted on the leg module, and the drive end of the fourth drive device 125 is connected to the second connector 126. The second connector 126 is connected to the movable end of the ankle link 127 via a second connecting shaft to drive the movable end of the ankle link 127 to swing. The fixed end of the ankle link 127 is mounted on the leg module, and the fixed end of the ankle link 127 is connected to the foot support 124 to drive the foot support 124 to swing.

[0029] In other words, the power output of the fourth drive device 125 is transmitted to the movable end of the ankle link 127 via the second connector 126, causing the ankle link 127 to swing around its fixed end, thereby pulling the foot support 124 to complete the swinging action. This allows the posture of the foot support 124 to be adjusted according to the gait, thereby improving the overall motion performance and environmental adaptability of the walking device.

[0030] Furthermore, the second connecting shaft includes a limiting plate 130 and a connecting rod 131. The connecting rod 131 passes through the ankle link 127 and the second connecting member 126. The limiting plate 130 is connected to the connecting rod 131, and the limiting plate 130 is located on the side of the ankle link 127 away from the second connecting member 126. The limiting plate 130 forms a physical block on the ankle link 127 in the axial direction, preventing it from detaching or moving axially, thus avoiding the risk of module failure due to loose connection.

[0031] In the optional solutions of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the leg module includes a leg support and a third drive mechanism; the leg support includes a thigh support 115, a calf support 116, and a knee joint bearing 117; the thigh support 115 and the calf support 116 are hinged together, and the knee joint bearing 117 is installed between the thigh support 115 and the calf support 116; the third drive mechanism is installed on the thigh support 115 to drive the calf support 116 to swing relative to the thigh support 115; the knee joint bearing 117 is provided with a through hole, and the connecting wire 118 of the third drive mechanism passes through the through hole.

[0032] In this embodiment, the knee joint bearing 117 is provided with a through hole, allowing the power supply line, signal line, or control cable of the third drive mechanism to pass from the thigh support 115 through the through hole into the lower leg support 116, achieving fully embedded wiring. This design effectively avoids the risk of wear, breakage, or short circuits caused by friction, pulling, and entanglement of exposed cables during repeated flexion and extension movements of the joint, significantly improving the stability and service life of the electrical connection.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the third drive mechanism includes a third drive device 119, a first connector 120, and a knee link 121. The third drive device 119 is mounted on the thigh support 115. The drive end of the third drive device 119 is connected to the first connector 120, and the first connector 120 is connected to the movable end of the knee link 121 via a first connecting shaft to drive the movable end of the knee link 121 to swing. A radial joint bearing 122 is provided between the first connecting shaft and the movable end of the knee link 121. The fixed end of the knee link 121 is mounted on the thigh support 115 via a bushing 123, and the fixed end of the knee link 121 is connected to the calf support 116.

[0034] In this embodiment, the power output by the third drive device 119 is transmitted to the movable end of the knee link 121 via the first connector 120, causing the knee link 121 to swing around its fixed end, thereby pulling the lower leg support 116 to complete the flexion and extension movements. This structure forms a four-bar linkage module with the thigh support 115 as the frame, the knee link 121 as the transmission arm, and the lower leg support 116 as the output rod, which can convert the linear or small-angle rotational motion of the drive device into a large-range swing that conforms to the movement law of the human knee joint.

[0035] Furthermore, a radial joint bearing 122 (commonly known as a fisheye bearing) is provided between the first connector 120 and the movable end of the knee link 121. The radial joint bearing 122 is a spherical sliding bearing, which allows the two to generate micro-amplitude relative rotation in multiple degrees of freedom directions. It can compensate for the swing angle clearance and automatically adjust the misalignment of the knee link 121 caused by manufacturing tolerances, assembly deviations or dynamic deformation.

[0036] Example 2 The humanoid robot in this second embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiments. The technical content disclosed in the above embodiments will not be described again, and the content disclosed in the above embodiments also belongs to the content disclosed in this second embodiment.

[0037] See Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the humanoid robot further includes a hip module; the hip module includes a first drive device 101, a connecting component, and a second drive mechanism; the connecting component includes a connecting frame 102 and a fastener 103; the drive end of the first drive device 101 is connected to one side of the connecting frame 102 to drive the connecting frame 102 to swing around a preset axis 104; the second drive mechanism is located on the other side of the connecting frame 102; the drive end of the second drive mechanism is connected to the leg module to drive the leg module to rotate around its own axis; the axis 105 of the leg module is perpendicular to the preset axis 104.

[0038] The connecting frame 102 is provided with a first mounting hole 106, and the second drive mechanism is provided with a corresponding second mounting hole 107. The fastener 103 passes through the first mounting hole 106 and the second mounting hole 107 to connect the second drive mechanism and the connecting frame 102. The length direction of the fastener 103 is set at an acute angle with the preset axis 104.

[0039] Specifically, the first drive device 101 is mounted on a hip fixation frame, which includes a hip anterior pressure plate 109, a hip connector 110, and a lumbar joint connector 111. The hip connector 110 is connected to the hip anterior pressure plate 109, and the lumbar joint connector 111 is installed between the hip connector 110 and the hip anterior pressure plate 109 to form a structurally stable frame structure. The first drive device 101 is mounted on the hip connector 110 and drives the connecting frame 102 to swing around a preset axis 104 (corresponding to the hip joint's Roll direction movement). The second drive mechanism is mounted on the other side of the connecting frame 102 and drives the leg module to rotate around its own axis (corresponding to Yaw direction movement). The two axes are perpendicular to each other. This application uses two drive units to respectively handle the Roll and Yaw degrees of freedom, realizing the control of the hip's dual-degree-of-freedom movement. The first drive device 101 is used to make the leg module swing towards the side of the body, and the second drive mechanism is used to make the leg module rotate around its axis, thereby enabling the leg module to achieve precise motion output.

[0040] Traditional straight-drive screws are prone to loosening, especially during dynamic robot movement, where the hip area is subjected to cyclic impact forces and torsional moments, easily leading to fretting wear at the connection point or screw fatigue fracture. This solution employs an oblique fastening connection method, allowing fastener 103 to not only bear tensile stress but also effectively participate in resisting shear and separation forces. Due to the oblique arrangement of fastener 103, the lateral component force generated during joint movement is partially converted into pressure along the screw axis, thereby enhancing the self-locking effect and significantly improving vibration resistance and anti-loosening performance.

[0041] Specifically, the fastener 103 is a screw, and the screw size is M5 or larger. The angle between the length direction of the fastener 103 and the preset axis 104 is ( Figure 5 Angle A shown in the figure is less than or equal to 60 degrees, which can achieve efficient and stable mechanical fixing and load transfer.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the connecting frame 102 includes a connecting plate 112 and a first connecting block 113; the driving end of the first driving device 101 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 112, and the first connecting block 113 is connected to the other side of the connecting plate 112; the first connecting block 113 is provided with a first mounting hole 106; the second driving mechanism includes a second driving device 108 and a second connecting block, the second driving device 108 is connected to the second connecting block, and the second connecting block is provided with a second mounting hole 107.

[0043] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting plate 112 has multiple through holes circumferentially for detachable connection with the drive end of the first drive device 101. The first connecting block 113 is located on the other side of the connecting plate 112 and is connected to the second connecting block mounted on the second drive device 108, thereby connecting the connecting frame 102 and the second drive device 108. The two drive systems form a mechanical linkage through the rigid connection of the connecting frame 102. The first connecting block 113 and the second connecting block are respectively provided with oblique first mounting holes 106 and second mounting holes 107, so that the length direction of the fastener 103 is set at an acute angle with the preset axis 104, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the various components of the hip.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting block 113 is located in the middle of the connecting disk 112, and the first mounting holes 106 are provided at both ends of the length direction of the first connecting block 113, and the first mounting holes 106 at both ends of the length direction of the first connecting block 113 are symmetrically arranged; the second driving mechanism includes two second connecting blocks, which are spaced apart at both ends of the length direction of the first connecting block 113.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first connecting block 113 is located in the middle of the connecting plate 112, serving as the central hub for force transmission, allowing the load forces from both sides to be evenly transmitted to the connecting plate 112. Combined with the symmetrically arranged first mounting holes 106 at both ends, the two second connecting blocks are spatially mirror-distributed, thus forming a symmetrical torque cancellation mechanism during movement. This design effectively avoids torsional vibration or bearing wear problems caused by uneven loading, greatly improving the system's operational stability and reliability.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting block 113 is provided with a mating surface 114, and the outline of the second driving device 108 located between the two second connecting blocks is adapted to the mating surface 114.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer contour of the second drive device 108 matches and fits the mating surface 114 on the first connecting block 113, which can provide a certain support and limiting function, and the two form an "embedded installation" structure, which compresses the overall installation size of the components and realizes the miniaturization and high-density integration of the device, which is particularly suitable for robot joint parts with high requirements for structural compactness.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
