DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, a housing device of a quadruped robot includes a cover body 1, a cavity 2 connected to the cover body 1, and a bracket. The cover body 1 has a head cover 11, a body cover 12, and a tail cover 13, and the head cover 11, the body cover 12, and the tail cover 13 are integrally formed. There may not be a very clear boundary between the head cover 11, the body cover 12, and the tail cover 13. The part corresponding to the cavity 2 is defined as the body cover 12, and the head cover 11 and the tail cover 13 are on both sides of the body cover 12.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the top of the cavity 2 is open, and the top opening 21 is combined with the lower surface of the cover 1 to form a cavity 22, which is used to place motors, batteries, etc. The front side wall of the cavity 2 is provided with a first mounting hole 23 for connecting the front foot 61 of the quadruped robot, and the rear side wall of the cavity 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 24 for connecting the rear foot 62 of the quadruped robot.

[0035] The bracket includes a front bracket body 3 and a rear bracket body 4, wherein the front bracket body 3 is respectively fixedly assembled and connected with the head cover 11 and the cavity 2, and the rear bracket body 4 is respectively fixedly assembled and connected with the tail cover 13 and the cavity 2. Thus, the front bracket body 3 and the head cover 11 cooperate to form a first installation space 51 adapted to the front foot 61 of the quadruped robot, and the rear bracket body 4 and the tail cover 13 cooperate to form a second installation space 52 adapted to the rear foot 62 of the quadruped robot.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.10 As shown, the front bracket body 3 includes a first bottom plate 31, a first partition plate 32 vertically connected to the first bottom plate 31, and a first mounting column 33 vertically connected to the first bottom plate 31, and the first partition plate 32 is connected to the first mounting column 33. The first bottom plate 31 not only forms a stable support for the shell device in the horizontal direction, but also can realize the lateral support and fixation of the front foot 61 of the quadruped robot, and the first partition plate 32 provides vertical support and fixation for the front foot 61 of the quadruped robot, which is convenient for the installation of the front foot 61 of the quadruped robot and increases the stability of the front bracket body 3.

[0037] In order to increase the connection stability between the first partition 32 and the first mounting column 33, at least two forked portions 322 are formed on the first partition 32 and at the connection between the first partition 32 and the first mounting column 33. In the present embodiment, there are three forked portions 322, wherein the middle forked portion 322 extends integrally along the length direction of the first partition 32, and the forked portions 322 on both sides extend outward from the two side surfaces of the first partition 32, and the three forked portions 322 are connected to the outer wall of the first mounting column 33 at intervals.

[0038] like Fig.10As shown, the cross section of the first bottom plate 31 is I-shaped, that is, it has two front and rear widened ends 311, the two widened ends 311 are respectively connected to the head cover 11 and the cavity 2, and the first mounting column 33 is vertically arranged on the widened ends 311 of the first bottom plate 31. The design of the widened ends 311 increases the connection area between the first bottom plate 31 and the head cover 11 and the cavity 2, and the thinning of the structure between the two widened ends 311 makes the overall weight relatively light.

[0039] More specifically, Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the head cover 11 is first bent downward and then bent toward the direction of the cavity 2 to form the front cover body 111. In other words, at least part of the longitudinal section of the head cover 11 is U-shaped, and the opening is toward the direction of the cavity 2. The widened end 311 of the first bottom plate 31 is fixedly assembled and connected to the front cover body 111.

[0040] The widened end 311 of the first bottom plate 31 is respectively connected to the front cover body 111 and the cavity 2, specifically, a mounting slot 25 adapted to the width of the widened end 311 is formed on the lower surface of the front cover body 111 and the lower surface of the cavity 2, so as to achieve fixed assembly of the widened end, avoid its deviation, and facilitate positioning during installation. Figure 6 Taking the direction shown as an example, the first bottom plate 31 extends in the horizontal direction, that is, the widened end 311 of the first bottom plate 31 is connected with the front cover body 111 and the cavity 2 in a horizontal direction, and after the fixed assembly is completed, the three are located on the same horizontal plane. The front cover body 111, the first bottom plate 31 and the lower part of the cavity 2 are roughly on the same horizontal plane, so that they can jointly withstand greater external impact force, and the overall structural firmness is higher.

[0041] In order to increase the first installation space 51, an inclined end surface 321 is formed by cutting the end surface of the first partition plate 32 facing the front cover body 111 so as to Figure 6 Taking the direction shown as an example, the inclined end surface 321 extends obliquely from bottom to top, from the direction of the front cover body 111 to the direction of the cavity 2.

[0042] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.11 As shown, the rear bracket body 4 includes a second bottom plate 41, a second partition plate 42 vertically connected to the second bottom plate 41, and a second mounting column 43 vertically connected to the second bottom plate 41, and the second partition plate 42 and the second mounting column 43 are connected.

[0043] Of course, the first mounting column 33 and the second mounting column 43 are also designed with mounting holes 26 that can be fixedly assembled with the cavity 2, so that the connection between the bracket and the cavity 2 is more stable.

[0044] The second bottom plate 41 includes a left body 411 and a right body 412. The left body 411 extends horizontally and is located at the same horizontal plane as the first bottom plate 31. The right body 412 extends obliquely to Figure 6 The direction shown is taken as an example, and it extends from bottom to top and backward from the direction where the cavity 2 is located.

[0045] Similarly, the tail cover 13 is first bent downward and then bent toward the cavity 2 to form the rear cover body 131. In other words, at least part of the longitudinal section of the tail cover 13 is U-shaped, and the opening is toward the cavity 2. The right body 412 of the second bottom plate 41 is tilted upward and fixedly assembled with the rear cover body 131.

[0046] Similarly, the projection of the second bottom plate 41 is also I-shaped, that is, it has two front and rear widened ends, which are respectively connected to the tail cover 13 and the cavity 2 in a limiting manner, and the second mounting column 43 is vertically arranged on the widened end of the second bottom plate 41.

[0047] In order to increase the second installation space 52, a notch 421 is cut on the top surface of the second partition plate 42 facing the tail cover 13. The notch 421 also prevents the rear foot 62 of the quadruped robot from interfering with the second partition plate 42 during movement.

[0048] In order to realize the assembly connection between the cover body 1 and the front bracket body 3 and the rear bracket body 4, the lower surface of the cover body 1 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 141 which can be vertically inserted into the first mounting column 33, and a second limiting protrusion 142 which can be vertically inserted into the second mounting column 43. In other words, the cover body 1 realizes a firm assembly connection in the horizontal direction through the first bottom plate 31 of the front bracket body 3 and the second bottom plate 41 of the rear bracket body 4. At the same time, the front bracket body 3 and the rear bracket body 4 realize a firm assembly connection with the cavity 2 in the horizontal direction. The cover body 1 realizes a firm assembly connection with the front bracket body 3 and the rear bracket body 4 in the vertical direction through the first mounting column 33 and the second mounting column 43, respectively, so that the overall structure of the shell device of the quadruped robot is stable, can resist the impact force from the outside, and has better safety performance.

[0049] The above specific implementation modes are used to explain the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. Any modification and change made to the present invention within the spirit of the present invention and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
