However, it still has the following disadvantages: when the robot is operating, the environment is noisy and there are many sounds, which can easily affect the microphone's reception and feedback of human language commands. Only adding a silicone mounting block cannot filter the sound received by the pickup structure well, thereby reducing the use effect of the robot. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a sound pickup structure of a robot to solve the problem that only adding a silicone mounting block cannot well filter the sound received by the sound pickup structure, thereby reducing the use effect of the robot.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the utility model, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a sound pickup structure of a robot, including a protective plate, two installation grooves are opened on the rear side of the protective plate, sound-absorbing cotton is fixed on the inner wall of the installation groove, a receiving groove is opened on the front side of the protective plate, a connecting groove is opened on the inner rear side of the receiving groove, an anti-sound wave transmitter is snap-connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, a connecting hole is opened on the rear side of the protective plate, a mounting plate is snap-connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove, a plurality of fixing grooves are opened on the front side of the mounting plate, a sound pickup hole is opened on the rear side of the inner wall of the fixing groove, a microphone is set on the inner wall of the fixing groove, and a plurality of through holes are opened on the rear side of the protective plate, and the through holes correspond to the sound pickup holes.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, a robot sound pickup structure adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. When the microphone receives sound, the anti-sound wave transmitter can emit anti-sound waves to the environment, so that the emitted anti-sound waves can be offset and filtered by the noise in the environment, thereby increasing the efficiency of the microphone receiving sound and determining the direction and distance of the sound source. At the same time, the sound-absorbing cotton can absorb the noise around the protective plate, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the sound source and achieving voice enhancement and noise suppression;

[0015] Second, the cooperation between the first dustproof net and the second dustproof net can prevent dust from entering the robot's chest cavity, thereby not affecting the sound pickup structure's reception of sound, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the sound pickup structure and improving the cleanliness of the robot's chest cavity. The microphone can be clamped by the clamping block so that the microphone can be clamped to the inner wall of the fixing groove, thereby improving the assembly of the microphone;

[0016] 3. The fixing column can be limited by the fixing bolt. When the staff tightens the fixing bolt, the threaded surface of the fixing bolt will contact the inclined surface of the fixing column. At this time, the fixing bolt will generate a thrust on the fixing column, so that one end of the fixing column passes through the sliding hole and presses against one side of the microphone, thereby fixing the microphone on the inner wall of the fixing groove to complete the installation of the microphone; conversely, the staff can loosen the fixing bolt, and the fixing column will cancel the pressing force on one side of the microphone. At this time, the fixing column will retract into the sliding hole under the action of the spring, thereby completing the disassembly of the microphone.

[0017] Fourth, the sealing pad can improve the sealing of the robot's chest cavity, preventing the sound from entering the chest cavity from the connection of the protective plate, affecting the sound pickup structure to receive the sound, thereby ensuring the sound pickup effect of the sound pickup structure. The connecting block can cooperate with the limit block to clamp the protective plate on the robot's chest cavity, so that the protective plate can be fixed in position under the action of the limit bolt, so that the sound pickup structure can stably identify the sound, thereby improving the stability of the sound pickup structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a sound pickup structure of a robot includes a protective plate 1, wherein two mounting grooves 2 are provided on the rear side of the protective plate 1, and sound-absorbing cotton 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 2. A receiving groove 26 is provided on the front side of the protective plate 1, and a connecting groove 4 is provided on the inner rear side of the receiving groove 26. An anti-sound wave transmitter 7 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting groove 4, and the model of the anti-sound wave transmitter 7 is UT-40. A connecting hole 5 is provided on the rear side of the protective plate 1, and a mounting plate 8 is provided on the inner wall of the receiving groove 26. A plurality of fixing grooves 9 are provided on the front side of the mounting plate 8, and a sound pickup hole 10 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing groove 9. A microphone 11 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing groove 9, and a plurality of through holes 12 are provided on the rear side of the protective plate 1, and the through holes 12 correspond to the sound pickup holes 10.

[0025] During use, when the microphone 11 receives sound, the anti-sound wave transmitter 7 can emit anti-sound waves to the environment, so that the emitted anti-sound waves can offset and filter the noise in the environment, thereby increasing the efficiency of the microphone 11 in receiving sound, and then determining the direction and distance of the sound source. At the same time, the sound-absorbing cotton 3 can absorb the noise around the protective plate 1, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the sound source and achieving voice enhancement and noise suppression.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a first dustproof net 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the connecting hole 5 , and a second dustproof net 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the through hole 12 .

[0027] During use, the cooperation between the first dustproof net 6 and the second dustproof net 13 can prevent dust from entering the robot's chest cavity, thereby not affecting the sound pickup structure's reception of sound, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the sound pickup structure and, at the same time, improving the cleanliness of the robot's chest cavity.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a clamping block 14 is fixed to one side of the microphone 11, a clamping groove 15 is provided on one side of the fixing groove 9, and the clamping groove 15 is clamped with the clamping block 14. A sliding hole 16 is provided on the other side of the fixing groove 9, and two fixing columns 17 are slidably inserted into the inner wall of the sliding hole 16.

The fixing bolt 20 can limit the fixing column 17. When the staff tightens the fixing bolt 20, the threaded surface of the fixing bolt 20 will contact the inclined surface of the fixing column 17. At this time, the fixing bolt 20 will generate a thrust on the fixing column 17, so that one end of the fixing column 17 passes through the sliding hole 16 and presses against one side of the microphone 11, thereby fixing the microphone 11 on the inner wall of the fixing groove 9, completing the installation of the microphone 11; conversely, the staff can loosen the fixing bolt 20, and the fixing column 17 will cancel the pressing force on one side of the microphone 11. At this time, the fixing column 17 will retract into the sliding hole 16 under the action of the spring 18, thereby completing the removal of the microphone 11.

[0031] During use, the sealing pad 21 can improve the sealing of the robot's chest cavity, preventing sound from entering the chest cavity from the connection of the protective plate 1 and affecting the sound pickup structure's reception of sound, thereby ensuring the sound pickup effect of the sound pickup structure. The connecting block 22 can cooperate with the limiting block 23 to clamp the protective plate 1 on the robot's chest cavity, so that the protective plate 1 can be limited and fixed under the action of the limiting bolt 25, so that the sound pickup structure can stably identify the sound, thereby improving the stability of the sound pickup structure.
