[0003] When a modular robot is in use, the various modules of the robot are stacked together by docking. For example, the robot body is docked with the base, and then the servos on the base drive the head, limbs and other parts of the robot body to perform actions. However, in actual applications, when the servos are working, the user may pull the robot body from the base or knock the robot body over due to misoperation, which may cause damage to the robot body, drive mechanism and other components. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application mainly provides a robot and its base assembly, which can prevent the user from pulling the robot body from the base or knocking the robot body down due to misoperation when the driving mechanism is working, thereby causing damage to the robot body, driving mechanism and other components.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, a technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a base assembly for a robot, the base assembly including: a base, formed with a docking area; a driving mechanism, installed on the base, the base is used to be detachably docked with the robot body of the robot in the docking area, so that when the robot body is docked with the base, the driving mechanism is connected to the robot body; a locking mechanism, movably arranged on the base, so that the locking mechanism can be moved into or out of the docking area.

[0006] In a specific embodiment, the base assembly further includes a power module, and the power module is electrically connected to the locking mechanism to control the locking mechanism to be in a power-on state or a power-off state.

[0007] In a specific embodiment, the base is provided with a docking slot, the docking slot is used to plug the robot body, and the locking mechanism can be moved into or out of the docking slot.

[0008] In a specific embodiment, the base is provided with a mounting hole, the mounting hole is communicated with the docking slot, and the locking mechanism is movably arranged in the mounting hole so that the locking mechanism can be moved from the mounting hole into the docking slot or retracted from the docking slot back to the mounting hole.

[0009] In a specific embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a locking member and an elastic member. The locking member is movably disposed on the base, and the elastic member abuts against the base and the locking member respectively.

[0010] In a specific embodiment, the locking member includes a first inclined guide surface disposed on a side facing the docking direction of the base and a second inclined guide surface disposed on a side facing away from the docking direction of the base.

[0011] In a specific embodiment, the base is further provided with a first electrical connector, so that when the robot body is docked with the base, the first electrical connector is electrically connected to the robot body.

[0012] In a specific embodiment, the base is further provided with a first connecting portion, so that when the robot body is docked with the base, the first connecting portion is connected to the robot.

[0013] In order to solve the above technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is: providing a robot, the robot comprising a robot body and the base assembly, the locking mechanism being used to lock the robot body when the robot body is docked with the base.

[0014] In a specific embodiment, the robot body is provided with a locking hole, and the locking mechanism is used to be inserted into or removed from the locking hole.

Through this arrangement, on the one hand, when the robot body has been docked with the base, the locking mechanism can be moved into the docking area, so that the locking mechanism locks the robot body. At this time, the robot body cannot be pulled out from the base, which avoids the situation where the user pulls the robot body out of the base when the driving mechanism is working. In order to prevent the robot body from being docked with the base, the user may cause the robot body, the driving mechanism and other components to be damaged due to improper operations such as pulling the robot body out of the base or knocking the robot body over. When the robot body needs to be pulled out from the base, the locking mechanism can be moved out of the docking area to unlock the robot body.

At this time, the robot body and the base cannot be docked. In order to avoid the situation where the user still docks the robot body with the base when the driving mechanism is working, which causes damage to the robot body, the driving mechanism and other components, if the driving mechanism is not working, the locking mechanism can be moved out of the docking area. At this time, the robot body can be docked with the base. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] Reference herein to an "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to independent or alternative embodiments that are mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an embodiment of the robot 10 provided in this application. The robot 10 in this embodiment includes a base assembly 20 and a robot body 30.

[0031] Please also refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the middle base assembly 20 and the robot body 30. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 In the schematic cross-sectional view of the robot 10 with FF upward, the base assembly 20 includes a base 21 and a drive mechanism 22.

[0032] Among them, the base 21 is formed with a docking area, and the driving mechanism 22 is installed on the base 21. The base 21 is used to be detachably docked with the robot body 30 of the robot 10 in the docking area, so that when the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the driving mechanism 22 is connected to the robot body 30, so that the driving mechanism 22 drives the robot body 30, and the robot body 30 performs corresponding actions under the driving action of the driving mechanism 22.

[0033] Specifically, the robot body 30 includes a shell 31, an action body 32 and a transmission mechanism 33. The transmission mechanism 33 is arranged in the shell 31, and the action body 32 is installed on the shell 31 and connected to the transmission mechanism 33. When the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, in this embodiment, that is, when the shell 31 is docked with the base 21, the transmission mechanism 33 is connected to the drive mechanism 22, so that the drive mechanism 22 drives the action body 32 of the robot body 30 through the transmission mechanism 33 to perform corresponding actions. In this embodiment, the action body 32 includes the head 32a and limbs 32b of the robot body 30, and the drive mechanism 22 can drive the head 3a and limbs 32b to perform corresponding actions through the transmission mechanism 33.

[0034] Please also refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3A schematic cross-sectional view of the exploded middle base assembly 20 and the robot body 30, Figure 5 yes Figure 3 In the enlarged schematic diagram of part N, the base assembly 20 also includes a docking mechanism 23, which is connected to the driving mechanism 22, so that when the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21 respectively, the driving mechanism 22 drives the docking mechanism 23 to rotate to be engaged with the robot body 30, so that the driving mechanism 22 drives the robot body 30 to perform corresponding actions through the docking mechanism 23. Through this setting, on the one hand, the power of the driving mechanism 22 can be transmitted to the robot body 30 through the docking mechanism 23. On the other hand, when the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, even if the docking is not performed in a specific orientation, the docking mechanism 23 can also be rotated to be engaged with the robot body 30, thereby avoiding the situation where the docking is not in place or even the docking fails.

[0035] Among them, the docking mechanism 23 includes a transmission member 231 and a first docking member 232. The transmission member 231 is connected to the driving mechanism 22 so that the driving mechanism 22 drives the transmission member 231 to rotate. The first docking member 232 is slidingly connected to the transmission member 231 and is relatively fixed to the transmission member 231 in the rotation direction of the transmission member 231. That is, when the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the driving mechanism 22 first drives the transmission member 231 to rotate, thereby driving the first docking member 232 to be transmitted to a engageable position, and then the first docking member 232 slides relative to the transmission member 231 until it is engaged with the robot body 30.

[0036] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 33 includes a transmission module 331 and a second docking member 332. The transmission module 331 is connected to the action body 32, and the second docking member 332 is connected to the transmission module 331. When the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the above-mentioned first docking member 232 and the second docking member 332 are in a locked state, so that the power of the driving mechanism 22 is transmitted to the transmission module 331 through the transmission member 231, the first docking member 232 and the second docking member 332, thereby driving the active body 32 to perform corresponding actions.

[0037] Please also refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 yes Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the first docking member 232, Figure 7 yes Figure 4Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the second docking member 332, the docking mechanism 23 is provided with a first engaging portion 23a, in this embodiment, that is, the first docking member 232 is provided with a first engaging portion 23a, the transmission mechanism 33 is provided with a second engaging portion 30a, in this embodiment, that is, the second docking member 332 is provided with a second engaging portion 30a, when the robot body 30 is respectively docked with the base 21, the first engaging portion 23a is respectively engaged with the second engaging portion 30a of the robot body 30.

[0038] Optionally, one of the first engaging portion 23a and the second engaging portion 33a is an engaging protrusion, and the other one of the first engaging portion 23a and the second engaging portion 33a is an engaging groove. In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 23a is the engaging protrusion and the second engaging portion 33a is the engaging groove as an example.

[0039] Specifically, when the robot body 30 is Figure 4 The orientation A1 and / or base assembly 20 shown in FIG. Figure 4 When docking with each other in the direction A2 shown, if the first docking member 232 is relatively fixed to the base 21, then in order to successfully dock the robot body 30 with the base assembly 20, it is necessary to ensure that the robot body 30 and the base assembly 20 are docked in a specific orientation, that is, it is necessary to ensure that the engaging protrusion of the first engaging portion 23a is aligned with the engaging groove of the second engaging portion 33a, otherwise the engaging protrusion of the first engaging portion 23a cannot be inserted into the engaging groove of the second engaging portion 33a, resulting in docking failure. In this embodiment, since the transmission member 231 is connected to the driving mechanism 22, and the first pair The connecting member 232 is relatively fixed to the transmission member 231 in the rotation direction of the transmission member 231. Therefore, even if the robot body 30 and the base assembly 20 are not docked in a specific orientation, the driving mechanism 22 can first drive the first docking member 232 to rotate so that the engaging protrusion of the first engaging portion 23a is aligned with the engaging groove of the second engaging portion 33a. Then, since the first docking member 232 is slidably connected to the transmission member 231, after the engaging protrusion of the first engaging portion 23a is aligned with the engaging groove of the second engaging portion 33a, the first docking member 232 is relatively fixed to the transmission member 231 in the rotation direction of the transmission member 231. Figure 4 Slide in the direction A2 as shown until Figure 7 The engaging protrusion of the first engaging portion 23a is inserted into the engaging groove of the second engaging portion 33a, and the two are engaged to complete the docking operation.

[0040] It can be understood that in actual application, the number of the first docking member 232 and the second fool-proofing member 332 can be one or more respectively, and there is no limitation on this; similarly, the number of the first engaging portion 23a and the second fool-proofing portion 33a can be one or more respectively. In this embodiment, the number of the first engaging portion 23a and the second fool-proofing portion 33a are respectively more than one, and at least two of the multiple first engaging portions 23a have different shapes, such as Figure 6 As shown, the two first engaging portions 23a have different shapes, one is arc-shaped and the other is linear, and at least two of the plurality of second fool-proofing portions 33a have different shapes, such as Figure 7 As shown, the two second anti-foolproofing parts 33a have different shapes, one is arc-shaped and the other is straight-line. In actual applications, when the number of the first locking parts 23a and the second anti-foolproofing parts 33a is multiple, the multiple first locking parts 23a are asymmetrically arranged, and the multiple second anti-foolproofing parts 33a are asymmetrically arranged.

[0041] Furthermore, an elastic mechanism 233 is provided between the transmission member 231 and the first docking member 232 , and the elastic mechanism 233 abuts against the transmission member 231 and the first docking member 232 , respectively.

[0042] Specifically, when the robot body 30 is docked with the base assembly 20, if the engaging protrusion of the first engaging part 23a is not aligned with the engaging groove of the second engaging part 33a, the second docking member 332 will press the first docking member 232, causing the elastic mechanism 233 to be compressed and generate elastic force. When the driving mechanism drives the transmission member 231 to rotate, so that the engaging protrusion of the first engaging part 23a is aligned with the engaging groove of the second engaging part 33a, the pressing force of the second docking member 332 disappears, and the elastic force generated by the elastic mechanism 223 pushes the first docking member 232 to slide relative to the transmission member 231, thereby causing the engaging protrusion of the first engaging part 23a to be inserted into the engaging groove of the second engaging part 33a, completing the docking operation.

[0043] Further reading Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4The base assembly 20 also includes a locking mechanism 24, which is movably arranged on the base 21 so that the locking mechanism 24 can be moved into or out of the docking area. Through this arrangement, on the one hand, when the robot body 30 has been docked with the base 21, the locking mechanism 24 can be moved into the docking area, so that the locking mechanism locks the robot body 30. At this time, the robot body 30 cannot be pulled out from the base 21, avoiding the user from pulling out the robot body 30 from the base 21 or knocking down the robot body 30 when the driving mechanism 22 is working, thereby causing damage to the robot body 30, the driving mechanism 22 and other components. When the robot body 30 needs to be pulled out from the base, the locking mechanism 24 will be locked. The mechanism 24 can be moved out of the docking area to unlock the robot body 30; on the other hand, when the robot body 30 is not docked with the base 21, if the drive mechanism 22 is still working, the locking mechanism 24 can be moved into the docking area, so that the locking mechanism 24 interferes with the docking operation of the robot body 30. At this time, the robot body 30 and the base 21 cannot be docked, so as to avoid the user's erroneous operation of docking the robot body 30 with the base 21 when the drive mechanism 22 is working, thereby causing damage to the robot body 30, the drive mechanism 22 and other components. If the drive mechanism 22 is not working, the locking mechanism 24 can be moved out of the docking area. At this time, the robot body 30 can be docked with the base 21.

[0044] Among them, the robot body 30 is provided with a locking hole 301, and the locking mechanism 24 is used to insert into the locking hole 301 or move out from the locking hole 301, that is, when the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the locking mechanism 24 is inserted into the locking hole 301, and when the robot body 30 needs to be pulled out from the base 21, the locking mechanism 24 is moved out from the locking hole 301.

[0045] Optionally, the base 21 is provided with a docking slot 201 , and the docking slot 201 is used for plugging the robot body 30 , and the locking mechanism 24 can be moved into or out of the docking slot 201 .

[0046] Among them, the base 21 is also provided with a mounting hole 202, which is connected to the docking groove 201, and the locking mechanism 24 is movably arranged in the mounting hole 202 so that the locking mechanism 24 can be moved from the mounting hole 202 to the docking groove 201 or retracted from the docking groove 201 back to the mounting hole 202.

[0047] Please also refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 yes Figure 4 An enlarged schematic diagram of an embodiment of part K in the middle, Figure 9 yes Figure 4An enlarged schematic diagram of another embodiment of part K.

[0048] In such Figure 8 In one embodiment shown, the base assembly 20 further includes a power module (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the locking mechanism 24 to control whether the locking mechanism is in a powered-on state or a powered-off state. For example, in actual applications, the locking mechanism 24 can be an electronic latch. When the power module energizes the electronic latch, the locking mechanism 24 is in an extended state and extends into the docking area. When the power module de-energizes the electronic latch, the locking mechanism 24 is in a retracted state and retracts from the docking area.

[0049] In such Figure 9 In another embodiment shown, the locking mechanism 24 includes a locking member 241 and an elastic member 242 . The locking member 241 is movably disposed on the base 21 , and the elastic member 242 abuts against the base 21 and the locking member 241 , respectively.

[0050] Specifically, when the robot body 30 is not docked with the base 21, the locking piece 241 extends into the docking area under the elastic force of the elastic piece 242. When the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the robot body 30 presses the locking piece 241 and compresses the elastic piece 242, so that the locking piece 241 moves out of the docking area. When the docking is completed, the locking piece 241 extends into the docking area again under the elastic force of the elastic piece 242 and locks the robot body 30. Similarly, when the robot body 30 needs to be pulled out, the robot body 30 presses the locking piece 241 and compresses the elastic piece 242, so that the locking piece 241 moves out of the docking area and unlocks the robot body 30. When the robot body 30 is pulled out, the locking piece 241 extends into the docking area again under the elastic force of the elastic piece 242.

[0051] Among them, the locking piece 241 includes a first inclined guide surface 2411 set on the side of the docking direction A2 facing the base 21 and a second inclined guide surface 2412 set on the side of the docking direction A2 away from the base 21. Through this setting, when the locking piece 241 is pressed, the robot body 30 can move along the first inclined guide surface 2411 and the second inclined guide surface 2412, and gradually compress the elastic piece 242, thereby improving the convenience of the docking process between the robot body 30 and the base 21 and the process of pulling the robot body 30 out of the base 21.

[0052] Please also refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 , Figure 10 yes Figure 2Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the robot body 30 in the M direction, the base 21 in this embodiment is also provided with a first connecting portion 21b, so that when the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21 respectively, the first connecting portion 21b is connected to different robots 30 respectively.

[0053] Specifically, the robot body 30 is provided with a second connecting portion 30b. When the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the first connecting portion 21b is connected to the second connecting portion 30b, so that the robot body 30 and the base assembly 20 are connected together through the first connecting portion 21b and the second connecting portion 30b.

[0054] It can be understood that in actual applications, the connection method between the first connecting part 21b and the second connecting part 30b can be selected according to actual needs, such as selecting a magnetic adsorption method or a snap-on method. Therefore, there is no limitation on the specific connection method. Through this setting method, on the one hand, no other structure is required to fix the robot body 30 and the base 21. On the other hand, when the robot body 30 needs to be separated from the base 21, the robot body 30 can be easily pulled out from the base 21 using external force, which is very convenient.

[0055] Furthermore, the base 21 is further provided with a first electrical connector 21 c so that when the robot bodies 30 are docked with the base 21 respectively, the first electrical connector 21 c is electrically connected to different robot bodies 30 respectively.

[0056] Specifically, the robot body 30 is provided with a second electrical connector 30c. When the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the first electrical connector 21c is electrically connected to the second electrical connector 30c. It can be understood that one of the first electrical connector 21c and the second electrical connector 30c is an electrically connected male socket, and the other of the first electrical connector 21c and the second electrical connector 30c is an electrically connected female socket. When the robot body 30 is docked with the base 21, the male socket is inserted into the female socket, so that the two are electrically connected. Through this electrical connection, the robot body 30 and the base 21 can communicate, output commands, and exchange data, such as controlling the servo on the robot body to work and collecting data from sensors on the robot body.

[0057] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: different from the prior art, the base assembly provided by the present application includes: a base, which is formed with a docking area; a driving mechanism, which is installed on the base, and the base is used to be detachably docked with the robot body of the robot in the docking area, so that when the robot body is docked with the base, the driving mechanism is connected to the robot body; a locking mechanism, which is movably arranged on the base, so that the locking mechanism can be moved into or out of the docking area. Through this arrangement, on the one hand, when the robot body has been docked with the base, the locking mechanism can be moved into the docking area, so that the locking mechanism locks the robot body. At this time, the robot body cannot be pulled out from the base, which avoids the situation where the user pulls the robot body out of the base when the driving mechanism is working. In order to prevent the robot body from being docked with the base, the user may cause the robot body, the driving mechanism and other components to be damaged due to improper operations such as pulling the robot body out of the base or knocking the robot body over. When the robot body needs to be pulled out from the base, the locking mechanism can be moved out of the docking area to unlock the robot body. On the other hand, when the robot body is not docked with the base, if the driving mechanism is still working, the locking mechanism can be moved into the docking area, so that the locking mechanism interferes with the docking operation of the robot body. At this time, the robot body and the base cannot be docked. In order to avoid the situation where the user still docks the robot body with the base when the driving mechanism is working, which causes damage to the robot body, the driving mechanism and other components, if the driving mechanism is not working, the locking mechanism can be moved out of the docking area. At this time, the robot body can be docked with the base.
