[0002] In recent years, researchers have conducted research on quadrupedal robots using four-legged mammals as bionic objects, hoping that quadrupedal robots can play a role in material transportation in wild environments, environmental detection, disaster relief, etc. The results also demonstrated their high dynamic motion capabilities, high environmental adaptability, and multiple motion modes, and have been initially applied in emergency response, engineering operations, military reconnaissance and other fields.
[0003] In order to improve the endurance of quadruped robots performing tasks outdoors, most of them install solar panels on the top of the robots and use batteries to increase the endurance. However, they are generally designed to be directly exposed to the outside and cannot provide certain protection for the solar panels. They are easily damaged in harsh environments and are easily blocked by debris or covered with dirt and dust, which affects the use of the solar panels. Therefore, we propose a mobile quadruped robot to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a mobile quadruped robot comprises a quadruped robot body 1, a storage box 2 is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper end of the quadruped robot body 1, a solar panel 3 is arranged inside the storage box 2, a slide bar 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper side of the solar panel 3, a slide sleeve 5 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the slide bar 4 near the left and right ends, the upper ends of the slide sleeves 5 are rotatably connected to connecting rods 6, two sets of symmetrical flaps 7 are rotatably installed on the upper end of the storage box 2, the upper ends of the connecting rods 6 are rotatably connected to the flaps 7 respectively, and the upper ends of the flaps 7 are fixedly installed with pull ropes 9 in the middle of the adjacent sides, and a return spring 15 is arranged between the left and right ends and the slide sleeves 5 on the outer side of the slide bar 4;
[0022] In harsh environments, such as thunderstorms, hail or sandstorms, similarly, through the unwinding operation of the reel 11, the retraction of the reset spring 15 can pull the sliding sleeve 5 to reset and close the flip cover 7, thereby cooperating with the storage box 2 to protect the solar panel 3 from damage, and at the same time, it can also reduce the contamination of the solar panel 3 in harsh environments.
[0023] A plurality of groups of lead members 8 are symmetrically arranged on the flip cover 7 and the storage box 2, and the pull rope 9 passes through the plurality of groups of lead members 8 in sequence and extends to the front side of the storage box 2. A positioning box 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front end of the storage box 2, and two groups of symmetrical reels 11 are rotatably installed between the positioning box 10 and the storage box 2. The front ends of the pull rope 9 are respectively wound on the reels 11, and the shaft cores of the reels 11 pass through the first layer of the positioning box 10 and are fixedly sleeved with a slave gear 12. A driving motor 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the second and third layers of the positioning box 10, and a main gear 14 is fixedly sleeved at the rear end output end of the driving motor 13, and the left and right ends of the main gear 14 are respectively meshed and connected with the slave gear 12;
[0024] By turning on the driving motor 13, its output end drives the main gear 14 to rotate, and the rotation of the main gear 14 drives the rotation of the slave gear 12, and the rotation of the slave gear 12 can drive the reel 11 to rotate, and the pull rope 9 can be reeled up by the rotation of the reel 11, and the flap 7 will flip upward under the drive of the pull rope 9. During the flipping process, since the rotation radius of the flap 7 is larger than the rotation radius between the two ends of the connecting rod 6, the flap 7 will drive the sliding sleeve 5 to move through the connecting rod 6 during the flipping process, and the reset spring 15 is stretched, and the solar panel 3 can be exposed to the outside.
[0025] The lower end of the sleeve 5 is fixedly connected with a fixing member 16, and the lower end of the fixing member 16 is provided with two sets of scrapers 17, and the lower ends of the scrapers 17 are in contact with the solar panel 3;
[0026] When the sliding sleeve 5 moves back and forth on the sliding rod 4, it will drive the fixing part 16 to make the scraper 17 move synchronously. The movement of the scraper 17 can wipe and clean the dust and other debris on the upper end of the solar panel 3, thereby further ensuring the cleanliness of the solar panel 3 and further improving the use effect of the solar panel 3.
[0027] A power storage component 18 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the storage box 2, and a partition is arranged between the power storage component 18 and the solar panel 3. When the solar panel 3 is turned on, it can receive sunlight and convert it into electrical energy and store it in the power storage component 18. Then, the power storage component 18 can improve the outdoor endurance of the quadruped robot body 1.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] When in use, the driving motor 13 is turned on to make its output end drive the main gear 14 to rotate, and the rotation of the main gear 14 drives the rotation of the slave gear 12, and the rotation of the slave gear 12 can drive the reel 11 to rotate, and the pull rope 9 can be wound up by the rotation of the reel 11, and the flip cover 7 will flip upward under the drive of the pull rope 9. In the process of flipping, since the rotation radius of the flip cover 7 is larger than the rotation radius between the two ends of the connecting rod 6, the flip cover 7 will drive the sliding sleeve 5 to move through the connecting rod 6 during the flipping process, and the reset spring 15 will be stretched. At the same time, the solar panel 3 can be exposed to the outside, so that the solar panel 3 can receive sunlight and convert it into electrical energy and store it in the power storage component 18, and then the outdoor endurance of the quadruped robot body 1 can be improved through the power storage component 18. In harsh environments, such as thunderstorms, hail or sandstorms, the same is true. Through the unwinding operation of the reel 11, the retraction of the reset spring 15 can pull the sliding sleeve 5 to reset and close the flip cover 7, so that the solar panel 3 can be protected and prevented from being damaged in cooperation with the storage box 2. At the same time, the contamination of the solar panel 3 in harsh environments can also be reduced. Furthermore, when the sliding sleeve 5 moves back and forth on the slide rod 4, it will drive the fixing part 16 to move the scraper 17 synchronously. The dust and other debris on the upper end of the solar panel 3 can be wiped and cleaned through the movement of the scraper 17, thereby further ensuring the cleanliness of the solar panel 3 and improving the use effect of the solar panel 3. In addition, when the flip cover 7 is in the open state, the upper end of the quadruped robot body 1 can be effectively shielded in cooperation with the solar panel 3 to avoid direct sunlight, thereby reducing the temperature inside the quadruped robot body 1, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the complex electronic components inside it.
