[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. It should be understood that this application is not limited to the example embodiments disclosed herein. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a modular arc-shaped support device for a quadruped robot includes a front head frame 1 and a rear head frame 2, which are detachably connected to both sides of the fuselage; the front head frame 1 is equipped with a radar component 3, and the front head frame 1 and the rear head frame 2 are equipped with a visual component.

[0027] The front head frame 1 includes an upper front bracket 11 and a lower front bracket 12, which are detachably connected to the fuselage; the upper front bracket 11 and the lower front bracket 12 are semicircular arc structures, and the upper front bracket 11 and the lower front bracket 12 are arranged opposite to each other, forming a through installation space in the middle.

[0028] The rear head frame 2 includes a rear head frame upper cover 21, a rear head frame upper shell 22 and a rear head frame lower shell 23, which are detachably connected to the fuselage; the rear head frame upper cover 21 is covered on the rear head frame upper shell 22, and the rear head frame upper shell 22 and the rear head frame lower shell 23 are semicircular structures. The rear head frame upper shell 22 and the rear head frame lower shell 23 are arranged opposite to each other, and a through installation space is formed in the middle.

[0029] Specifically, the front support 1 and the rear support 2 are integrated respectively. While adopting a detachable structure, the stability of the robot structure is ensured. The vision component is used for fixedly installing status lights, cameras, depth cameras RGBD, etc. Since each component can be replaced independently, the overall maintenance cost is reduced and the service life of the robot is extended. The manufacturing process is simplified because standardized components can reduce errors in the production process and speed up the production speed.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the front support 1 further includes a first front shell 13 and a second front shell 14, and the first front shell 13 and the second front shell 14 are detachably connected; on one side of the front upper support 11 and the front lower support 12, the second front shell 14 is detachably connected.

[0031] Specifically, the second front shell 14 is connected to the front upper support 11 and the front lower support 12, and the first front shell 13 is connected to the second front shell 14. The first front shell 13 is the outer surface of the robot, which improves the aesthetics of the robot while increasing the strength of the front support 1.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the vision component includes a front RGBD support 15; the front RGBD support 15 is detachably connected between the first front shell 13 and the second front shell 14. As Figure 1 、 3 and 5 shown, the vision component includes a Y-shaped camera support 24 and a rear RGBD support 25, and the camera support and the rear RGBD support 25 are snap-connected; an installation groove is provided on the upper side of the rear support upper shell 22; the camera support and the rear RGBD support 25 are fixed in the installation groove of the rear support upper shell 22 by screws. The rear support upper cover 21 is snapped into the installation groove.

[0033] Specifically, various accessories can be placed in the cavity between the first front shell 13 and the second front shell 14, including RGBD. The rear support 2 is equipped with RGBD and cameras in the installation groove of the rear support upper shell 22. The front RGBD support 15 and the rear RGBD support 25 are used to stably fix the RGBD, and the camera support and the Y-shaped camera support 24 are used to stably fix the camera.

[0034] As technology advances, new sensors and devices continue to emerge, and different devices require different brackets. The bracket structure is designed to facilitate future technology upgrades. When exploring an environment or performing specific tasks, specific sensors or cameras can be quickly installed or removed as needed. Modules with new functions can be easily added or replaced without completely redesigning the entire device. Because these components are detachable and connectable, they can be quickly operated without disassembling the entire robot. This not only saves time but also reduces labor intensity and technical requirements.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figure 4, the radar assembly 3 includes a radar base 31, a gimbal cover 32, a laser radar pillar 33 and a radar cover 34; the radar base 31 is installed on the front upper bracket 11, the gimbal cover 32 is installed on one side of the upper surface of the radar base 31, the laser radar pillar 33 is installed on the other side of the upper surface of the radar base 31, and the radar cover 34 covers the laser radar pillar 33 and is detachably connected to the laser radar pillar 33.

[0036] Specifically, because the radar base 31, pan / tilt cover 32, and lidar support 33 are all independent and detachable, repair or replacement of certain components can be performed quickly and easily. There's no need to disassemble the entire robot; only specific parts need to be replaced, significantly simplifying maintenance and reducing costs.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 1 、 2 As shown in FIG4 , the visual component includes a light row 41 and a light cover 42 ; the light row 41 is fixed to the second front shell 14 by screws; the light cover 42 covers the light row 41 and is fixed to the first front shell 13 .

[0038] Specifically, the lamp cover 42 provides physical protection for the light bank 41, preventing damage from environmental factors such as dust and moisture. This protection is crucial for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the status lights. Because the light bank 41 and lamp cover 42 are independent components, they can be replaced or upgraded as needed. If you need to replace a bulb or add additional lighting functions, you only need to remove the corresponding light bank 41 or lamp cover 42, without having to disassemble the entire head structure.

[0039] A robot, including the quadruped robot modular arc-shaped bracket device of any one of the above. The quadruped robot modular arc-shaped bracket device is connected to the fuselage of the robot. The front head upper bracket 11 and the front head lower bracket 12 form a through installation space, and the rear head upper shell 22 and the rear head lower shell 23 form a through installation space for installing a drive module, that is, a wheel. The other technical effects of the robot correspond to those of the quadruped robot modular arc-shaped bracket device, which will not be elaborated here.
