Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present utility model without making creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] The following will Figures 1-3 , through specific embodiments and their application scenarios, provide a detailed description of the quality inspection robot provided by the embodiments of the utility model.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a quality inspection robot, including: a robot body 1, a sensor assembly 2 and a control module 3;

[0037] The sensor assembly 2 includes a first sensing unit and a second sensing unit, and the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit are respectively connected to the control module 3; the sensor assembly 2 and the control module 3 are respectively arranged on the robot body 1;

[0038] The control module 3 is used to control the first sensing unit to output command information to the household electrical appliance device, and the second sensing unit is used to obtain information from the household electrical appliance device.

[0039] It can be understood that the test objects faced by the quality inspection robot can be household electrical appliance devices such as smart TVs, air conditioners, smart speakers, and floor cleaning robots.

[0040] The robot body 1 can be either fixedly arranged or movably arranged, and no specific limitation is made thereto. The control module 3 can adopt an industrial control computer well-known in the art. The industrial control computer can not only control the working state of the first sensing unit, but also receive and store the information collected by the second sensing unit.

[0041] The quality inspection robot performs information interaction with the household electrical appliance device through the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit to complete the performance detection of the household electrical appliance device. The first sensing unit and the second sensing unit can be infrared remote control sensors, microphones, speakers, etc. According to different detection items, the types of the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit are different, and no specific limitation is made thereto.

[0042] The quality inspection robot provided by the present utility model, by arranging the sensor assembly 2 and the control module 3 based on the robot body 1, can control the first sensing unit to frequently output command information to the household electrical appliance device by the control module 3, and obtain information from the household electrical appliance device by the second sensing unit, so as to know the response of the household electrical appliance device according to the received command information, and then automatically complete the factory test of the household electrical appliance device.

[0043] Compared with the current manual inspection of household electrical appliances, the quality inspection robot shown in the present utility model can achieve the consistency of input commands, can test household electrical appliances according to the same standard, ensures the accuracy of test results, improves the test efficiency, and can realize the batch testing of household electrical appliances.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the first sensing unit includes a pronunciation module 201, and the second sensing unit includes a pickup 202; the pronunciation module 201 is used to send a voice command to the household electrical appliance, and the pickup 202 is used to receive the voice response information output by the household electrical appliance according to the voice command.

[0045] Specifically, the pronunciation module 201 is arranged on one side of the pickup 202. The pronunciation module 201 can adopt an artificial mouth. Compared with a speaker, the artificial mouth can more deeply restore human vocalization and is used to send a voice command simulating a user sound source to the household electrical appliance.

[0046] At the same time, a speaker is arranged on the household electrical appliance. For example, the household electrical appliance can be a smart speaker or a smart phone, etc.; in some scenarios, the household electrical appliance can receive the voice command sent by the pronunciation module 201 through its own pickup module and output voice response information. At this time, by collecting the voice response information output by the household electrical appliance through the pickup 202, the performance of the household electrical appliance can be judged according to the success rate of the voice response information made by the household electrical appliance.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the first sensing unit includes a pronunciation module 201, and the second sensing unit includes a camera module 211; the pronunciation module 201 is used to send a voice command to the household electrical appliance, and the camera module 211 is used to collect the display information presented by the display module on the household electrical appliance according to the voice command.

[0048] Specifically, the pronunciation module 201 is arranged on one side of the camera module 211. For example, the pronunciation module 201 is arranged below the camera module 211; in some scenarios, the household electrical appliance can be a smart TV or an air conditioner with a display module. The household electrical appliance can receive the voice command sent by the pronunciation module 201 through its own pickup module and output display information through its own display module. At this time, by collecting the image of the display module through the camera module 211, it can be judged whether there is an abnormality in the display module according to the image displayed by the camera module 211.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 shown, the first sensing unit includes an infrared transmitting unit 221, and the second sensing unit includes an infrared receiving unit 222; the infrared transmitting unit 221 is used to send an infrared signal to the household electrical appliance, and the infrared receiving unit 222 is used to receive the infrared signal from the household electrical appliance.

[0050] Specifically, the infrared emission unit 221 and the infrared reception unit 222 are arranged side by side. Both the infrared emission unit 221 and the infrared reception unit 222 are infrared sensors to achieve the emission and reception of infrared signals.

[0051] In some scenarios, the household electrical appliance device is a smart TV or an air conditioner with infrared transceiver functions. The infrared reception unit 222 realizes infrared cooperation with the household electrical appliance device by receiving the infrared signal from the household electrical appliance device. After completing the infrared pairing, the control module 3 can control the infrared emission unit 221 to send an infrared signal to the household electrical appliance device to control the working state of the household electrical appliance device, and the user observes whether the household electrical appliance device makes a normal response. In this case, the present embodiment can also configure the above-mentioned pickup 202 and / or the camera module 211 to automatically detect the response made by the household electrical appliance device through the pickup 202 and / or the camera module 211 without manual participation.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the robot body 1 includes a head 11 and a liftable body 12; the head 11 is provided at the top of the liftable body 12, and the sensor assembly 2 is provided on the head 11.

[0053] It can be understood that part of the structure of the liftable body 12 can be lifted and lowered to adjust its own height, and then the height of the head 11 is adjusted by the liftable body 12; alternatively, a lifting structure is provided on the liftable body 12 to realize the height adjustment of the head 11 based on the lifting structure.

[0054] By providing the head 11 at the top of the liftable body 12, the height of the head 11 can be adjusted by the liftable body 12, and then the performance test of the household electrical appliance device can be completed by the sensor assembly 2 provided on the head 11. This design can simulate different height users. For example, it can simulate the voices of users at different heights to realize the voice performance detection of the household electrical appliance device.

[0055] Meanwhile, the head 11 includes a head body shell and an inner bracket. The inner bracket is provided inside the head body shell to provide an installation support for the sensor assembly 2. The top of the liftable body 12 is connected to the bottom end of the inner bracket; the head body shell includes a face mask and a rear shell. The face mask is provided on the front side of the rear shell, and at least part of the sensor assembly 2 is exposed on the front side of the face mask.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the robot body 1 further includes a mobile base 13; the bottom end of the liftable body 12 is connected to the mobile base 13.

[0057] It is understandable that the mobile base 13 can select a mobile module well-known in the art, which can move 360° without dead angle on the ground, thereby providing a power source and the capabilities of map building, navigation, and obstacle avoidance for the quality inspection robot.

[0058] Among them, the mobile base 13 includes a chassis and a traveling mechanism provided on the chassis. The bottom end of the liftable body 12 is provided on the chassis. An inertial measurement unit and an anti-collision sensor can be provided on the chassis. The inertial measurement unit and the anti-collision sensor are respectively connected to the control module 3. The inertial measurement unit is used to provide navigation for the movement of the quality inspection robot, and the anti-collision sensor is used to provide anti-collision protection for the movement of the quality inspection robot.

[0059] In some application scenarios, by adjusting the layout angle of the quality inspection robot relative to the household electrical appliance device through the mobile base 13, command information can be sent at various heights and angles around the household electrical appliance device to test the voice interaction function, remote control function, display function, and other performances of the household electrical appliance device.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the liftable body 12 includes a housing 121 and a lifting member 122; the control module 3 is connected to the lifting member 122 and is respectively provided inside the housing 121; the lifting end of the lifting member 122 protrudes from the housing 121 and is connected to the head 11 to drive the head 11 to lift.

[0061] It is understandable that the lifting member 122 can be an electric push rod. The base of the electric push rod is installed at the bottom end of the housing 121, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod extends out of the top end of the housing 121 and is connected to the head 11.

[0062] Meanwhile, as Figure 3 shown, in order to ensure the stability of the lifting of the head 11, a neck can be provided between the head 11 and the top of the housing 121. The neck includes a transfer frame and a guide rod. The guide rod is provided on the lower side of the transfer frame and extends in the vertical direction; the head 11 is connected to the lifting end of the lifting member 122 through the transfer frame; a guide hole is provided at the top end of the housing 121, and the guide rod is inserted through the guide hole. Based on the sliding fit between the guide rod and the guide hole, the head 11 can be stably lifted relative to the liftable body 12.

[0063] Furthermore, a plurality of guide rods are configured at the bottom end of the head 11, and a plurality of guide holes are provided at the top end of the housing 121. The plurality of guide rods are arranged around the lifting member 122 and are respectively inserted through the plurality of guide holes one by one.

[0064] Further, threading holes may be provided on the adapter frame, and the signal wires of the sensor assembly 2 extend into the housing 121 of the liftable body 12 through the threading holes and then are connected to the control module 3. This design can prevent the signal wires of the sensor assembly 2 from being entangled or knotted during the lifting of the head 11.

[0065] Further, a plurality of wire routing structures are provided in the housing 121. The plurality of wire routing structures are arranged successively from top to bottom. The signal wires of the sensor assembly 2 can extend successively along the arrangement direction of the plurality of wire routing structures. The wire routing structures can be wire clips, wire grooves or threading holes.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the housing 121 includes an upper housing 1211 and a lower housing 1212; the upper housing 1211 is cylindrical, and the lower end of the upper housing 1211 communicates with the upper end of the lower housing 1212; the control module 3 is disposed in the lower housing 1212, the lifting member 122 passes through the upper housing 1211, and the lifting end of the lifting member 122 protrudes from the upper end of the upper housing 1211 and is connected to the head 11.

[0067] Specifically, the upper housing 1211 includes a left shell, a right shell, a front door and a rear door. The left shell, the right shell, the front door and the rear door enclose a cylindrical structure. The left shell and the right shell are arranged opposite to each other left and right and are respectively connected to the lower housing 1212; the front door and the rear door are arranged opposite to each other front and rear and are respectively detachably installed between the left shell and the right shell.

[0068] In practical applications, the front door or the rear door can be removed according to requirements to maintain the relevant structures or circuits in the upper housing 1211.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the lower housing 1212 includes an equipment installation chamber 1201 and an electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202; the equipment installation chamber 1201 is located above the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202. The control module 3 is disposed in the equipment installation chamber 1201, and the bottom end of the lifting member 122 is installed in the equipment installation chamber 1201; the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202 is used to install the functional device 4, and the sensor assembly 2 is electrically connected to the control module 3 through the functional device 4.

[0070] It can be understood that by designing the equipment installation chamber 1201 and the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202 in a layered manner up and down, while providing an installation support for the lifting member 122 based on the equipment installation chamber 1201, it does not affect the layout of the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202. The electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202 is used to provide an electromagnetic shielding space for the functional device 4 to prevent external electromagnetic interference from affecting the normal operation of the functional device 4 and causing adverse effects on the detection results.

[0071] In some application scenarios, the functional device 4 can be a sound card. The sensor component 2 can select the pronunciation module 201 and the pickup 202. The pronunciation module 201 and the pickup 202 are electrically connected to the control module 3 through the sound card respectively. In this way, by placing the sound card in the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202, the influence of external electromagnetic interference on the audio signal in the sound card can be effectively prevented, and the situation that the sound played by the pronunciation module 201 is damaged can be avoided.

[0072] As Figure 3 shown, the lower housing 1212 includes a bottom plate, a partition plate and a plurality of side plates. The partition plate and the bottom plate are connected by a plurality of struts. The bottom plate and the plurality of side plates enclose a containing cavity. The partition plate is located on the upper side of the bottom plate to divide the containing cavity into an equipment installation chamber 1201 and an electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202 which are arranged oppositely up and down.

[0073] Among them, a circuit board can also be arranged in the equipment installation chamber 1201. A multi-stage voltage conversion module is arranged on the circuit board. The multi-stage voltage conversion module is used to provide different levels of DC voltage to provide a working power supply for the control module 3 and the sensor component 2.

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, a maintenance opening 1221 and a switch door 1222 for controlling the opening and closing of the maintenance opening 1221 are arranged on the side wall of the housing 121.

[0075] Among them, the maintenance opening 1221 can be arranged on the side wall of the equipment installation chamber 1201. The switch door 1222 is detachably arranged on the maintenance opening 1221. Staff can perform maintenance or repair on the relevant equipment in the equipment installation chamber 1201 through the maintenance opening 1221.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, the housing 121 has an air inlet 1231 and an air outlet. A fan is arranged in the housing 121. The fan is used to drive air to enter the housing 121 from the air inlet 1231 and then discharge from the air outlet.

[0077] Specifically, the side walls of the equipment installation chamber 1201 and the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202 can be configured with oppositely arranged air inlets 1231 and air outlets. By configuring fans in the equipment installation chamber 1201 and the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202, the heat dissipation control of the corresponding equipment in the equipment installation chamber 1201 and the electromagnetic shielding chamber 1202 can be realized.

[0078] In some application scenarios, the control module 3 is electrically connected to the fan. The control module 3 can also realize the dust removal treatment of the internal environment of the housing 121 by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the fan.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
