[0019] Please see Figure 1, Figure 1 This is a structural block diagram of an embodiment of the robot provided in this application.

[0020] This application provides a robot, such as Figure 1 As shown, the robot of this embodiment includes: a head assembly 1 and a body assembly 2, combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the head assembly 1 includes a rotating head 11 and a first sleeve 12 mounted on the rotating head 11. A first protrusion 121 and a second protrusion 122 are provided on the outer wall of the first sleeve 12, and the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 122 are offset from each other. Figures 3-5 As shown, the fuselage assembly 2 includes a housing 21, a limiting component 23 and a second sleeve 22 are provided on the housing 21, a first notch 211 is provided on the housing 21, a third protrusion 223 is provided on the outer side wall of the second sleeve 22, the third protrusion 223 is movably connected to the limiting component 23, a second notch 221 is provided on the inner wall of the second sleeve 22, and a snap fastener 222 communicating with the second notch 221 is provided; wherein, the second protrusion 122 is detachably connected to the first notch 211, the first protrusion 121 is detachably connected to the snap fastener 222, and the connection state of the first protrusion 121 and the snap fastener 222 is used to control the connection state between the head assembly 1 and the fuselage assembly 2.

[0021] In some embodiments, the head assembly 1 is provided with a first sleeve 12 and a rotating head 11, that is, the first sleeve 12 is used to support the rotating head 11. The body assembly 2 includes a housing 21, on which a limiting component 23 and a second sleeve 22 are provided. When the head assembly 1 is installed on the body assembly 2, the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22 can be connected to achieve the connection between the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2. Specifically, when connecting the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the first sleeve 12 can be inserted into the second sleeve 22, and the second sleeve 22 can engage the first sleeve 12 to complete the connection between the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2.

[0022] The first sleeve 12 has a first protrusion 121 on its outer side wall, and the second sleeve 22 has a second notch 221 on its inner side wall, with a snap-fit ​​222 communicating with the second notch 221. When installing the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the first sleeve 12 can be inserted into the second sleeve 22, and then the first protrusion 121 of the first sleeve 12 can be aligned with the second notch 221 on the inner side wall of the second sleeve 22. After the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 aligns with the second notch 221 on the inner side wall of the second sleeve 22, the head assembly 1 can be pressed, causing the first sleeve 12 to slide down along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22. Furthermore, since the inner wall of the second sleeve 22 is provided with a snap fastener 222 that communicates with the second notch 221, when the first sleeve 12 slides down, the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 will snap with the snap fastener 222, thereby completing the fixation of the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22, that is, the head assembly 1 is installed on the machine body.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, a second protrusion 122 is further provided on the outer wall of the first sleeve 12, and the second protrusion 122 is offset from the first protrusion 121. Vertically, the first protrusion 121 is positioned below the second protrusion 122, and the first protrusion 121 and the second protrusion 122 are offset vertically. A first notch 211 is provided on the housing 21, and the second protrusion 122 is detachably connected to the first notch 211. Specifically, when installing the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the first sleeve 12 can be pre-inserted into the body assembly 2 along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22, and the first sleeve 12 can be rotated randomly so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the second notch 221 on the second sleeve 22. When the first protrusion 121 corresponds to the second notch 221, the head assembly 1 can be pressed or allowed to fall naturally, that is, the first sleeve 12 in the head assembly 1 slides down inside the second sleeve 22. When the head assembly 1 slides down, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 descends to abut against the housing 21. That is, at this time, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 is limited by the housing 21. At this time, the head assembly 1 can be rotated in the first direction. Since the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is locked in the second protrusion 122, when the head assembly 1 rotates in the first direction, the first sleeve 12 can drive the second sleeve 22 to rotate in the housing 21. Furthermore, since a third protrusion 223 is provided on the outer side wall of the second sleeve 22, and a limiting component 23 is provided on the housing 21, when the head assembly 1 is rotated in the first direction, it can be continuously rotated in the first direction until the third protrusion 223 on the outer side wall of the second sleeve 22 abuts against the limiting component 23. When the third protrusion 223 abuts against the limiting component 23, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21. The head assembly 1 can be pressed again in the vertical direction, and then the head assembly 1 can be rotated again in the first direction, so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is engaged in the snap fastener 222, thereby realizing the assembly of the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2.

[0024] The first direction can be specifically represented as a counterclockwise direction. In other embodiments, the first direction can also be a clockwise direction. The specific direction is not limited here.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the connection state of the first protrusion 121 and the snap fastener 222 is used to control the connection state of the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2. That is, when the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2 are installed, the first protrusion 121 snaps into the snap fastener 222 to indicate that the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2 are installed. When the first protrusion 121 is disengaged from the snap fastener 222, it indicates that the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2 are not installed.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, when disassembling the head assembly 1 from the body assembly 2, the head assembly 1 can be pressed vertically to disengage the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 from the snap fastener 222. When the first protrusion 121 disengages from the snap fastener 222, it can be rotated in the second direction until the third protrusion 223 on the second sleeve 22 abuts against the limiting component 23. When the third protrusion 223 abuts against the limiting component 23, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21, and the first protrusion 121 corresponds to the second notch 221. At this time, the head assembly 1 can be removed from the body assembly 2 vertically. The housing 21 may have multiple first notches 211, for example, two. When installing the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the second protrusion 122 may correspond to one of the first notches 211, and when disassembling the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the second protrusion 122 may correspond to the other first notch 211. Alternatively, only one notch may be provided, depending on actual needs. The second direction may be the opposite of the first direction; for example, if the first direction is counterclockwise, the second direction is clockwise.

[0027] In the above embodiments, this application provides a first protrusion 121 and a second protrusion 122 that are staggered on the first sleeve 12, and a first notch 211, a limiting component 23 and a second sleeve 22 are provided on the housing 21. The second sleeve 22 is provided with a second notch 221 and a snap fastener 222 that communicates with the second notch 221. By controlling the connection state of the first protrusion 121 and the snap fastener 222, the connection state of the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2 can be controlled. Therefore, no other devices are needed to fix the body assembly 2 and the head assembly 1, which effectively simplifies the steps of robot installation and disassembly.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the fuselage assembly 2 also includes a support sleeve 24, which is disposed on the housing 21. The support sleeve 24 is coaxially arranged with the second sleeve 22, and the second sleeve 22 is movably disposed within the support sleeve 24. A driving member 26 is disposed within the support sleeve 24, and the output end of the driving member 26 is connected to the second sleeve 22. Specifically, the coaxial arrangement of the support sleeve 24 and the second sleeve 22 can limit and support the second sleeve 22, thereby ensuring that the second sleeve 22 rotates within the support sleeve 24 and preventing the second sleeve 22 from shifting.

[0029] A drive component 26 is provided inside the support sleeve 24. The output end of the drive component 26 is connected to the second sleeve 22. That is, when the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22 are fixedly connected, that is, when the head assembly 1 is installed on the body assembly 2, the head assembly 1 can be driven to rotate through the drive component 26.

[0030] In some embodiments, when the head assembly 1 is mounted on the body assembly 2, the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2 can be mounted together with the drive component 26. When the driving component 26 is energized, the driving component 26 works to drive the second sleeve 22 to rotate in the first direction until the third protrusion 223 abuts against the limiting component 23. When the third protrusion 223 on the second sleeve 22 abuts against the limiting component 23, the first sleeve 12 can be inserted into the body component 2 along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22, and the first sleeve 12 can be rotated randomly so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the second notch 221 on the second sleeve 22. At this time, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21, so that the head component 1 can be pressed until the second protrusion 122 passes through the first notch 211, that is, the head component 1 is pressed to the stop position. Then, it is rotated again in the first direction so that the first protrusion 121 is engaged with the snap fastener 222, thereby completing the installation of the head component 1 and the body component 2.

[0031] Correspondingly, when it is necessary to disassemble the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the drive component 26 can be controlled to work, so that the drive component 26 drives the second sleeve 22 to rotate in the second direction until the third protrusion 223 on the second sleeve 22 abuts against the limiting component 23. At this time, the head assembly 1 can be pressed, so that the first protrusion 121 disengages from the snap fastener 222. When the first protrusion 121 disengages from the snap fastener 222, the head assembly 1 can be rotated in the second direction, so that the head assembly 1 corresponds to the second notch 221 on the second sleeve 22. Correspondingly, the second protrusion 122 on the head assembly 1 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21. At this time, the head assembly 1 can be removed from the body assembly 2 in the vertical direction.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6As shown, the limiting component 23 is coaxially arranged with the second sleeve 22. The limiting component 23 includes a first limiting member 231 and a second limiting member 232. The third protrusion 223 is movably connected to the first limiting member 231 and the second limiting member 232. That is, when installing the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the first sleeve 12 can be pre-inserted into the body assembly 2 along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22, and the first sleeve 12 can be rotated randomly so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the second notch 221 on the second sleeve 22. When the first protrusion 121 corresponds to the second notch 221, the head assembly 1 can be pressed or the head assembly 1 can be allowed to fall naturally, that is, the first sleeve 12 in the head assembly 1 slides down inside the second sleeve 22. As the head assembly 1 slides down, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 descends to abut against the housing 21. At this point, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 is limited by the housing 21. The head assembly 1 can then be rotated in the first direction, causing the first sleeve 12 to rotate within the housing 21, or the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22 to rotate in the first direction via the drive member 26, until the third protrusion 223 on the second sleeve 22 abuts against the first limiting member 231. At this point, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21. The head assembly 1 can then be pressed again in the vertical direction, and then rotated again in the first direction, causing the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 to engage with the snap-fit ​​buckle 222, thereby achieving the assembly of the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2.

[0033] When disassembling the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the head assembly 1 can be pressed vertically to disengage the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 from the snap fastener 222. When the first protrusion 121 disengages from the snap fastener 222, it can be rotated in the second direction until the third protrusion 223 on the second sleeve 22 abuts against the second limiting member 232. At this time, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21, and the first protrusion 121 corresponds to the second notch 221. The head assembly 1 can then be removed from the body assembly 2 vertically.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the second sleeve 22 has a groove 224 inside. The axis of the groove 224 is set at a preset angle to the axis of the second sleeve 22. The groove 224 is used to connect the second notch 221 and the snap fastener 222. The second groove 224 is inclined along a first direction on the inner wall of the second sleeve 22. That is, after the first protrusion 121 of the first sleeve 12 is inserted into the second notch 221, pressing the head assembly 1 and rotating it along the first direction allows the first protrusion 121 to slide within the groove 224, thus engaging with the snap fastener 222. Correspondingly, when disassembling the head assembly 1, pressing the head assembly 1 disengages the first protrusion 121 from the snap fastener 222. Then, rotating the head assembly 1 along the second direction allows the first protrusion 121 to slide within the groove 224 until it aligns with and disengages from the second notch 221.

[0035] In some embodiments, the body assembly 2 further includes a connecting wire 25, and the head assembly 1 further includes a connecting terminal (not shown). The connecting terminal is disposed on the first sleeve 12, and the connecting wire 25 is detachably connected to the connecting terminal. That is, when installing the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the connecting wire 25 on the body assembly 2 can be pre-connected to the connecting terminal on the head assembly 1 to achieve communication between the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2. Correspondingly, when disassembling the head assembly 1, after removing the head assembly 1 from the body assembly 2, the connection between the connecting wire 25 and the connecting terminal must be disconnected.

[0036] In some embodiments, when installing the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, a fixture can be used for installation. The fixture is movably connected to the head assembly 1. The head assembly 1 includes a rotating head 11 and a protective cover 13. The rotating head 11 is connected to the first sleeve 12 and movably connected to the protective cover 13. The fixture is detachably connected to the protective cover 13. That is, before installing the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2, the fixture can be fixed to the protective cover 13. The fixture has an inclined surface with an axis along the first sleeve 12. When the fixture is installed on the protective cover 13, the inclined surface allows the rotating head 11 to rotate within the protective cover 13 by a preset angle, and can fix the protective cover 13 and the rotating head 11 together, preventing the protective cover 13 and the rotating head 11 from rotating relative to each other. The angle of the inclined surface can be 42 degrees, and can be set according to actual needs, without specific limitation here.

[0037] In some embodiments, an elastic element may be provided on the first sleeve 12, so that when the first protrusion 121 is engaged with the snap fastener 222, the elastic element can support the head assembly 1, thereby preventing the first protrusion 121 from disengaging from the snap fastener 222. The elastic element may specifically be a silicone element, etc., which can abut against the housing 21 to generate deformation and thus support the head assembly 1. It can also be configured according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.

[0038] This application also provides a method for installing a robot, wherein the robot is controlled by the robot described in any of the above embodiments. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the robot installation method of this application. It should be noted that if substantially the same result is achieved, the method of this invention is not necessarily identical. Figure 7 The illustrated process sequence is limited. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the method includes the following steps: S11: Insert the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2 and rotate the head assembly 1 so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 engages with the second notch 221 of the second sleeve 22.

[0039] The first sleeve 12 is inserted into the body assembly 2 along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22, and the first sleeve 12 is rotated randomly so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the second notch 221 on the second sleeve 22. When the first protrusion 121 corresponds to the second notch 221, due to the gravity of the head assembly 1 itself, the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 can be engaged in the second notch 221 of the second sleeve 22.

[0040] S12: Press the head assembly 1 and rotate the head assembly 1 in the first direction to drive the third protrusion 223 of the second sleeve 22 to rotate to the limiting assembly 23. The second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21.

[0041] The head assembly 1 can be pressed or allowed to fall naturally, meaning the first sleeve 12 in the head assembly 1 slides down within the second sleeve 22. As the head assembly 1 slides down, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 descends and abuts against the housing 21, thus limiting the second protrusion 122. At this point, the head assembly 1 can be rotated in the first direction. Since the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is engaged within the second protrusion 122, rotating the head assembly 1 in the first direction causes the first sleeve 12 to drive the second sleeve 22 to rotate within the housing 21. Furthermore, since a third protrusion 223 is provided on the outer wall of the second sleeve 22, and a limiting component 23 is provided on the housing 21, rotating the head assembly 1 in the first direction allows it to continue rotating until the third protrusion 223 on the outer wall of the second sleeve 22 abuts against the limiting component 23.

[0042] S13: Press the head assembly 1 again, the second protrusion 122 passes through the first notch 211, and rotate the head assembly 1 in the first direction. The first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is engaged with the snap fastener 222 to install the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2.

[0043] When the third protrusion 223 abuts against the limiting component 23, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21. The head component 1 can be pressed again in the vertical direction, so that the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 passes through the first notch 211 on the housing 21. Then, the head component 1 is rotated again in the first direction, so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is engaged in the snap fastener 222, thereby realizing the assembly of the head component 1 and the body component 2.

[0044] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the robot installation method of this application: S21: Insert the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2 and rotate the head assembly 1 so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 engages with the second notch 221 of the second sleeve 22.

[0045] The first sleeve 12 is inserted into the body assembly 2 along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22, and the first sleeve 12 is rotated randomly so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the second notch 221 on the second sleeve 22. When the first protrusion 121 corresponds to the second notch 221, due to the gravity of the head assembly 1 itself, the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 can be engaged in the second notch 221 of the second sleeve 22.

[0046] S22: The drive assembly operates to rotate the second sleeve 22, so that the third protrusion 223 rotates to the first limiting member 231. The second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, the drive member 26 can be controlled to work, thereby driving the second sleeve 22 to rotate in the first direction until the third protrusion 223 abuts against the first limiting member 231. When the third protrusion 223 on the second sleeve 22 abuts against the first limiting member 231, the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21.

[0048] S23: Press the head assembly 1 again, the second protrusion 122 passes through the first notch 211, and rotate the head assembly 1 in the first direction. The first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is engaged with the snap fastener 222 to install the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, the head assembly 1 is pressed again in the vertical direction, so that the second protrusion 122 on the first sleeve 12 passes through the first notch 211 on the housing 21. Then, the head assembly 1 is rotated again in the first direction, so that the first protrusion 121 on the first sleeve 12 is engaged in the snap fastener 222, thereby realizing the assembly of the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, when it is necessary to disassemble the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2, the installation method of this application further includes: pressing the head assembly 1 and rotating the head assembly 1 in a second direction, thereby rotating the third protrusion 223 of the second sleeve 22 to the second limiting member 232; pressing the head assembly 1 again to disengage the first protrusion 121 from the snap fastener 222, rotating the head assembly 1 in the second direction so that the second protrusion 122 corresponds to the first notch 211, and removing the head assembly 1 along the axial direction of the first notch 211. That is, when the head assembly 1 is rotated in the second direction so that the third protrusion 223 abuts against the second limiting member 232, the first protrusion 121 can slide to the second notch 221 via the slide groove 224, and the second protrusion 122 corresponds to the first notch 211 on the housing 21. The second protrusion 122 can pass through the first notch 211, thereby realizing the disassembly of the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, when installing the head assembly 1, a fixture can be used for installation. The head assembly 1 includes a rotating head 11 and a protective cover 13. The rotating head 11 is connected to the first sleeve 12 and is movably connected to the protective cover 13. The fixture is detachably connected to the protective cover 13. That is, the robot installation method in this application further includes: before inserting the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2, installing the fixture onto the protective cover to rotate the rotating head 11 by a preset angle in a first direction, and inserting the connecting wire 25 into the connecting terminal; after installing the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2, removing the fixture from the head assembly 1, and rotating the rotating head 11 by a preset angle in a second direction. Specifically, before installing the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2, a fixture can be fixed to the protective cover 13. The fixture has an inclined surface along the axis of the first sleeve 12. When the fixture is installed on the protective cover 13, the inclined surface allows the rotating head 11 to rotate within the protective cover 13 at a preset angle, thus securing the protective cover 13 and the rotating head 11 and preventing them from rotating relative to each other. The head assembly 1 can then be rotated using the fixture during installation. When installing the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2, the connecting cable 25 and the connecting terminal must be plugged in to establish a communication connection between the head assembly 1 and the body assembly 2. After installing the head assembly 1 onto the body assembly 2, the fixture can be removed, and the rotating head 11 can be returned to its original position along the second direction.
