[0002] Robot inspections often require the use of other payloads. To accommodate these payloads, conventional robots have mounting holes on their trunks. However, the spacing between these holes is fixed.

[0003] The inventors of the present utility model have discovered that the prior art suffers from at least the following problems: the mounting holes on the robot's trunk assembly are fixed in position, while the mounting holes for the payload device do not necessarily correspond to those on the trunk assembly. To mount the payload device on the robot's trunk assembly, holes must be drilled on-site according to the existing mounting holes on the trunk assembly, increasing the cost and difficulty of payload installation. Furthermore, the number of mounting holes is limited, and the positions of the trunk assembly's mounting holes are fixed, making the spacing between the mounting holes impossible to adjust. Consequently, multiple payload devices may not be able to fit within the required spacing, making it impossible to install multiple devices.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the spirit of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “including,” and “comprising” used herein do not prescribe the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the load device mounting mechanism fixed to the robot according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the robot payload installation mechanism includes a trunk assembly 100 , a connection module 200 , a guide rail 300 and a moving nut 400 .

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a heat dissipation portion 102 is provided on the upper surface of the trunk assembly 100. The heat dissipation portion 102 is used to dissipate heat for the robot and the payload 600. Figure 4 The structure of the guide rail 300 is shown, and the guide rail 300 is provided with a groove. Figure 3The structure of the connecting module 200 is shown. The side of the connecting module 200 is Z-shaped. The connecting module 200 includes a first step 201 and a second step 202. The first step 201 is provided with a first through hole 2011 for fixed connection with the trunk component 100.

[0030] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the trunk assembly 100 is provided with a first threaded hole 101, which is adapted to the first through hole 2011 of the connection module 200. The first screw 701 passes through the first through hole 2011 and is screwed into the first threaded hole 101, thereby securing the connection module 200 to the trunk assembly 100 of the robot.

[0031] The second step 202 of the connection module 200 is provided with a second threaded hole 2021 for fixed connection to the guide rail 300. For example, the guide rail 300 is provided with a second through hole 302 that mates with the second threaded hole 2021. The second screw 702 passes through the second through hole 302 of the guide rail 300 and screws into the second threaded hole 2021, thereby securing the guide rail 300 to the connection module 200.

[0032] The connecting module 200 is used to connect the guide rail 300 and the trunk assembly 100 of the robot. The side of the connecting module 200 is in a Z-shaped structure, so that a gap is formed between the guide rail 300 and the trunk assembly 100 to accommodate the heat dissipation portion 102 on the upper surface of the trunk assembly 100. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation portion 102 is evenly disposed on the upper surface of the trunk component 100 .

[0033] Figure 5 The structure of the movable nut 400 is shown. Figure 5 As shown, the side surface of the movable nut 400 is convex, which is matched with the groove of the guide rail 300. Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of the guide rail after the load equipment is installed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The cross-sectional structure after the movable nut 400 is installed on the guide rail is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the movable nut 400 is disposed in the groove of the guide rail 300 and is movably connected to the groove to fix the load device 600 to the guide rail 300 .

[0034] For example, Figure 2 FIG. 3 shows the cross-sectional structure of the guide rail 300 after the load equipment is installed. Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the load device is provided with a third through hole 601, and the movable nut 400 is provided with a third threaded hole 401. The third through hole 601 and the third threaded hole 401 are adapted to each other. The third screw 703 passes through the third through hole 601 of the load device 600 and is screwed into the third threaded hole 401 of the guide rail 300. This secures the load device 600 to the guide rail 300.

[0035] In this embodiment of the robot payload mounting mechanism, the movable nut 400 can slide freely along the extension direction of the guide rail 300. This means that the position of the movable nut 400 can be adjusted along the guide rail 300, and the spacing between the movable nuts 400 can also be flexibly adjusted. Therefore, the position of the movable nut 400 on the guide rail 300 can be adjusted to match the existing mounting holes of the payload 600. This eliminates the need for on-site drilling of the payload 600 and allows for direct installation and fixation, making it easier for operators.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the second step 202 of the connecting module 200 is provided with a positioning boss 2022. Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the guide rail 300 is provided with a positioning groove 301. The positioning groove 301 is adapted to the positioning boss 2022. For example, when the connection module 200 is fixed to the trunk assembly 100 (not shown in the figure), the positioning groove 301 of the guide rail 300 is snapped onto the positioning boss 2022. In this case, the second through hole 302 and the second threaded hole 2021 are axially aligned. The second screw 702 passes through the second through hole 302 and is screwed into the second threaded hole 2021. This achieves the fixing of the guide rail 300 to the connection module 200.

[0037] The robot payload mounting mechanism of this embodiment securely connects the guide rail 300 and the trunk assembly 100 via a connecting module 200. The Z-shaped side surfaces of the connecting module 200 create a gap between the guide rail 300 and the trunk assembly 100, preventing wear of the trunk assembly 100 due to friction between the guide rail 300 and the trunk assembly 100. Furthermore, a heat sink 102 can be provided in the gap to dissipate heat from the trunk assembly 100 and the payload 600.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the movable nut 400 forms a protrusion that fits into the groove of the guide rail 300 and slides into engagement therewith. For example, the movable nut 400 is positioned within the groove of the guide rail 300. When the movable nut 400 is not fixed in position, it can freely move in the direction of extension of the guide rail 300. The spacing between two adjacent movable nuts 400 on the guide rail 300 can be adjusted based on the size of the load device 600 and the spacing between its mounting holes. This allows for flexible placement of the load device 600 on the guide rail 300.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, there are at least two guide rails 300, with adjacent guide rails 300 arranged in parallel. Accordingly, each guide rail 300 has at least two movable nuts 400. The number of movable nuts 400 depends on the number of installed load devices 600. For example, if there are two load devices 600, each guide rail 300 requires four movable nuts 400.

[0040] Figure 1 The structure of a robot including the aforementioned payload mounting mechanism is also shown. In this robot, the movable nuts 400 can freely move along the extension direction of the guide rail 300. The position of the movable nuts can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the spacing between the movable nuts to fit the existing mounting holes of the payload 600. This allows the payload 600 to be flexibly mounted on the guide rail 300. Furthermore, each guide rail 300 can be equipped with multiple movable nuts 400, and the spacing between these nuts can be adjusted. Therefore, multiple payloads 600 can be mounted on the robot, facilitating operator operation.

[0041] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the load device installation mechanism without the heat dissipation portion after the lifting ring is installed in the embodiment of the utility model. Figure 7 As shown, when the connection module 200 is secured to the trunk assembly 100, a lifting lug 500 can be used in place of the first screw 701. For example, the lifting lug 500 passes through the first through-hole 2011 of the connection module 200 and screws into the first threaded hole 101 of the trunk assembly 100. This secures the connection module 200 to the trunk assembly 100. The lifting lug 500 facilitates lifting the robot during commissioning and maintenance without interfering with the installation of the payload 600.

[0042] The payload equipment 600 that can be installed by the robot payload equipment installation mechanism of this embodiment includes but is not limited to gas sensors, laser scanners, high-definition cameras and other equipment.

[0043] The present application also relates to a robot equipped with the payload mounting mechanism described in the above embodiments. For example, the robot may be a patrol robot. For example, the patrol robot may be a patrol robot used for field rescue.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
