[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1-6As shown, a modular robot in this embodiment is mainly used to simulate the relationship between the center of gravity of a vehicle and the height and stability of the vehicle body, and is mainly aimed at primary and secondary school education, and includes a trunk module 1, a mobile module 2 and a docking module 3, wherein the docking module 3 is integrally connected to the trunk module 1, and includes three groups of docking components, the three groups of docking components are docking card block 1 31, docking card block 2 32 and docking card block 3 33, and the mobile module 2 includes a rear drive component 21 and a front rolling component 22, and the rear drive component 21 and the front rolling component 22 are detachably connected to the trunk module 1 through any two of the three groups of docking components, and provide mobile support for the modular robot.

[0032] It should be noted that the height of the torso module 1 is greater than the width of the torso module 1. In this way, when the torso module 1 is changed from a vertical placement to a horizontal placement, the demand for a change in the overall height can be met, and the docking card block 1 31 and the docking card block 2 32 are symmetrically distributed on the front and rear sides of the torso module 1, and the docking card block 3 33 is arranged directly above the docking card block 1 31. In addition, a groove is provided on the back of the torso module 1.

[0033] In such a design, when the rear drive assembly 21 is mounted on the docking block 1 31, the front rolling assembly 22 can be mounted on the docking block 2 32 or the docking block 3 33. For example, when the front rolling assembly 22 is mounted on the docking block 2 32, Figure 1 The trunk module 1 is placed vertically, and the overall height is relatively high. When the front rolling assembly 22 is mounted on the docking block 33, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the trunk module 1 has an overall low height, and with the mobile support provided by the rear drive assembly 21 and the front rolling assembly 22, the modular robot can simulate the relationship between the center of gravity of the vehicle and the height and stability of the vehicle body, and then draw the conclusion that the higher the vehicle body, the higher the center of gravity and the worse the stability. The use of the modular robot for demonstration teaching can intuitively reflect the changes. Compared with traditional single oral teaching, it can not only improve the educational effect, but the physical display can also intuitively reflect the structural relationship between the various modules of the robot, enhance students' hands-on interest, thereby stimulating and cultivating students' innovative thinking and practical ability.

[0034] In addition, in a certain embodiment, the modular robot also includes a head module 4 and an arm module 5. When designed in this way, a docking card block seven is integrally connected to the top of the torso module 1, and a card cavity one is opened at the bottom of the head module 4. The docking card block seven is adapted to the card cavity one, so that the head module 4 can be detachably connected to the torso module 1, and docking card blocks six are integrally connected to the left and right sides of the torso module 1, and a card cavity two is opened on one side of the arm module 5. The card cavity two is adapted to the docking card block six, so that the arm module 5 can be detachably connected to the torso module 1.

[0035] Adding the head module 4 and the arm module 5 can firstly provide a good appearance, and can provide more units. A unit refers to a structure that can be separated from the torso module 1. After the modular robot is disassembled, it can provide students with an opportunity to assemble it independently, thereby stimulating students' innovative thinking ability.

[0036] To facilitate understanding of the structure of the front rolling assembly 22, an explanation is given here, which mainly provides support and rolling requirements, such as Figure 8 As shown, the front rolling assembly 22 includes a cover 221, a drive box 222, an axle 223 and two sets of front wheels 224, wherein the cover 221 has an adaptation cavity 2, so that the cover 221 can be snapped into the docking block 2 32 or the docking block 33, and a docking block 5 225 is integrally connected to one side of the drive box 222 to realize the snap-fitting between the drive box 222 and the cover 221, that is, the cover 221 and the drive box 222 are detachably connected.

[0037] It should be noted that the adapter cavity 2 is compatible with the docking component, and the length of the adapter cavity 2 is twice the length of the docking component. In this way, first, the cover 221 can be clamped on the docking block 5 225 of the drive box 222. When the rear drive assembly 21 is clamped on the docking block 1 31, the adapter cavity 2 of the cover 221 can also allow the front rolling assembly 22 to be clamped on the docking block 2 32 or the docking block 3 33.

[0038] In addition, in order to facilitate understanding of the structure of the rear drive assembly 21, it is explained here that the rear drive assembly 21 mainly provides power to enable the modular robot to move, such as Figure 3 and 7 As shown, the rear drive assembly 21 includes a cover 211, a drive box 212, a drive component, an axle 213 and two sets of rear wheels 214, wherein the drive component is arranged in the drive box 212, and is used to drive the axle 213 to drive the two sets of rear wheels 214 to rotate, thereby allowing the modular robot to move, and the cover 211 has an adaptation cavity 1, so that the cover 211 can be snapped into the docking block 31, and in addition, a docking block 4 215 is integrally connected to one side of the drive box 212, so that the drive box 212 can be snapped into the cover 211, that is, a detachable connection between the cover 211 and the drive box 212 is realized.

[0039] Further, for the description of the driving components, such as Figure 7As shown, the driving components include a motor 216, a gear 1 217 and a gear 2 218, wherein the gear 1 217 is mounted on the output end of the motor 216, and the gear 2 218 is mounted on the outside of the axle 1 213 and meshes with the gear 1 217. In this way, when the motor 216 is started, the gear 1 217 can drive the gear 2 218 to work, thereby driving the axle 1 213 and the two sets of rear wheels 214 to rotate, thereby meeting the requirement that the modular robot can move.

[0040] It should be noted that the adapter cavity 1 is adapted to the docking component, and the length of the adapter cavity 1 is twice the length of the docking component, and the drive box 1 212 is integrally connected with a bracket 219 and a semi-circular disk, wherein the motor 216 is fixed on the bracket 219 by bolts, and a accommodating cavity is opened on the semi-circular disk, which can provide a reference when the gear 2 218 is assembled, and allows the gear 2 218 to be rotatably set in the accommodating cavity.

[0041] To control the motor 216, Figure 3 As shown, the back of the torso module 1 is integrally connected with a control box 6, in which a controller 7 is fixed by bolts and a battery 8 is mounted. Wire holes are provided at the bottom of the control box 6 and the top of the drive box 212 for the wiring between the controller and the motor 216 to pass through. The wiring is not the focus of this application and is not shown in the figure.

[0042] It should be noted that the motor 216 and the controller 7 are both electrically connected to the battery 8, which provides electrical energy to the controller 7 and the motor 216. The brand of the controller 7 is Arduino, and the model is ABX00028. It is implemented in the form of an Arduino control board and can meet programming requirements.

[0043] In this way, when the rear drive component 21 is mounted on the docking block 1 31, in the first simulation test, for example, when the front rolling component 22 is mounted on the docking block 2 32, the motor 216 is started to allow the two sets of rear wheels 214 to drive the modular robot to move. In the second simulation test, the front rolling component 22 is mounted on the docking block 3 33, and the motor 216 is started in the same way. With the mobile support provided by the rear drive component 21 and the front rolling component 22, the modular robot can simulate the relationship between the center of gravity of the vehicle and the height and stability of the vehicle body. Using the modular robot for physical demonstration teaching can not only improve the educational effect compared to traditional oral education, but also the physical demonstration can intuitively reflect the structural relationship between the modules of the robot, enhance students' hands-on interest, and cultivate students' innovative thinking and practical ability.

[0044] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical scheme and utility model concept of the utility model, should be covered by the protection scope of the utility model.
