[0030] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments 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 constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a partial structure of an embodiment of a robot including a heat dissipation structure provided by the present application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The provided robot includes a partially enlarged structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a heat source device and a heat dissipation structure from a first perspective; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The provided robot includes a heat source device and a heat dissipation structure, which is a partially enlarged structural schematic diagram of an embodiment from a second perspective.

[0034] An embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation structure 10 of a humanoid robot, which is used to dissipate heat from a heat source device 20 of the robot. The heat dissipation structure 10 includes: a housing 11 and a fan 12, and a vent 13 is formed on the side of the housing 11; the vent 13 includes an air inlet 131 and an air outlet 132.

[0035] The exhaust port of the fan 12 is arranged facing the heat source device 20 .

[0036] Specifically, the heat source device 20 can be a device that is applied to various robots and generates a large amount of heat during the operation of the robot, such as a main control board and a power board.

[0037] The air inlet 131 and the air outlet 132 are arranged in sequence, and the air inlet 131 is disposed corresponding to the fan 12 .

[0038] It should be noted that the arrangement order of the air inlets and air outlets can be set arbitrarily as needed, and the air inlet 131 should be set closer to the heat source device 20 as much as possible, while the air outlet 132 should be set closer to the air outlet of the fan 12.

[0039] It should be noted that the above-mentioned shell 11 can be the shell of any part of the robot corresponding to the heat source device according to the setting of the heat source device. For example, the embodiment of the present application takes the heat source device as an example of being set in the chest cavity of a humanoid robot.

[0040] It should be noted that the fan described in the embodiment of the present application can adopt various fans that are currently available or will be developed in the future as needed, such as: a turbo fan, an axial flow fan.

[0041] This application preferably uses a turbo fan because the turbo fan is relatively thin and draws air in from the front and blows air out from the side. When arranging it, we put the air inlet of the turbo fan close to the heat source of the motherboard to more effectively draw hot air out of the robot body.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the exhaust port of the fan is arranged to face the heat source device, and a vent is formed on the side of the shell, so that the heat dissipation structure is more compact and more beautiful.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the exhaust port of the fan is arranged directly opposite the heat source device, the air inlet and the exhaust port are arranged in sequence, and the air inlet is arranged corresponding to the fan, so that a highly efficient heat dissipation design is achieved within the limited space of the robot.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the base of the fan 12 is installed at a position of the housing 11 corresponding to the heat source device 20 .

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the base of the fan is installed at a position of the housing corresponding to the heat source device, so that the fan can draw air directly towards the heat source device, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the housing 11 includes a front panel 111 and a back panel 112 ; ventilation openings 13 are formed on both sides of the back panel 112 .

[0047] The embodiment of the present application forms vents on both sides of the back panel, which can better shield the vents from the visual effect, thereby improving the aesthetics of the robot.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned "the base of the fan is installed at the position of the housing corresponding to the heat source device" can be achieved by the following structure:

[0049] The fan 12 is located between the air outlets 132 formed on both sides.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the fan is positioned between the exhaust vents formed on both sides so that the hot air drawn by the fan can be quickly discharged through the exhaust vents, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the air outlet position of the fan corresponds to the air outlet.

[0052] For example, continuing with the example of a turbofan, there is an air outlet position on the side of the turbofan body, and this position needs to be in close contact with the air outlet on the robot shell.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, an air guide tube 121 is provided between the air outlet of the fan 12 and the air exhaust port 132 .

[0054] Specifically, the air guide tube 121 is a hollow cylindrical structure, which is used to guide the air discharged from the air outlet of the fan 12 to the air outlet provided on the housing to better dissipate heat.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, mounting blocks are formed by extending toward the center on both sides of the back panel, and at least one fan is installed at the free end of each mounting block. The fan installation can be achieved through a simple structure, and the fan and the mounting block are arranged horizontally side by side, reducing the space occupied in the thickness direction of the shell.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the heat source device 20 may include a main heating element 21 and a secondary heating element 22. For example, the main heating element 21 is a main control board 21 and the secondary heating element 22 is a power supply 22.

[0057] The fan 12 includes a first fan portion 121 facing the main heating element 21; and

[0058] The second fan 122 is opposite to the secondary heat generating element 22 .

[0059] The embodiment of the present application can improve the heat dissipation efficiency by respectively setting fans corresponding to different heating elements to extract air separately.

[0060] Based on the heat dissipation structure of the robot described in the above embodiment, an embodiment of the present application provides a robot.

[0061] It should be noted that the above-mentioned robot can be any robot that exists now or will be developed in the future, such as a humanoid robot, and this application does not limit it.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, taking a humanoid robot as an example, the shell may be the shell of the robot's chest portion.

[0063] For the relevant description of the heat dissipation structure of the robot, please refer to the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0064] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present application are given in the accompanying drawings, but they do not limit the patent scope of the present application. The present application can be implemented in many different forms. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.
