DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clearly, the following will be further described in detail with the help of the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described here are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0022] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of robot shell 100, combine Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, it includes shell 1 and cover is set in shell 1 and with shell 1 together and is formed by the upper cover 2 of housing space, the fuselage of robot is fixed to shell 1.

[0023] Wherein, shell 1 includes bottom plate 11, side plate 12 formed by the circumferential edge of bottom plate 11 bending extension and the middle shell 13 being annular and being fixed to the side of side plate 12 away from bottom plate 11.

[0024] The opposite sides of middle shell 13 are respectively provided with connecting shaft port 131 from inside to outside. This design can make the fuselage of robot can pass through connecting shaft port 131 by connecting rod to flexibly operate its front rocker arm and rear rocker arm, so that the robot can drive the front rocker arm and rear rocker arm to cross over the obstacle when encountering obstacle in the process of robot advancing.

[0025] One end of the side of middle shell 13 away from side plate 12 is provided with first magnetic attraction point 132;Upper cover 2 is provided with second magnetic attraction point 21 corresponding to the position of first magnetic attraction point 132, and upper cover 2 is fixed to the side of middle shell 13 away from side plate 12 by the magnetic attraction of second magnetic attraction point 21 and first magnetic attraction point 132. This design not only can fix upper cover 2 on middle shell 13 by magnetic attraction, but also can directly disassemble upper cover 2 when the fuselage of robot is damaged, so as to facilitate the maintenance of robot.

[0026] In the embodiment, first magnetic attraction point 132 and second magnetic attraction point 21 all include one and are arranged opposite to each other. First magnetic attraction point 132 and second magnetic attraction point 21 are respectively two magnets attracting each other.

[0027] Of course, according to actual needs, the first magnetic points 132 can also include multiple mutually spaced apart arrangements. Accordingly, the number of the second magnetic points 21 is the same as the number of the first magnetic points 132 and is arranged one-to-one. This design can improve the fixing effect between the upper cover 2 and the middle shell 13.

[0028] On opposite sides of the middle shell 13, wiring holes 133 are provided, extending from the inner side to the outer side. In this embodiment, two wiring holes 133 are spaced apart on each side of the middle shell 13, and the wiring holes 133 are arranged around the coupling opening 131. This design allows the robot's internal wiring to be routed outward for connection to external control components such as servos and motors, thereby providing more space for flexible wiring, avoiding cluttered wiring, and reducing the risk of failure. Of course, the number and location of the wiring holes 133 can be adjusted to meet actual needs, depending on the number and location of the robot's internal wiring.

[0029] The middle shell 13 is provided with a first fixing hole 134 extending from one side away from the side panel 12 to the other side. The side panel 12 is provided with a second fixing hole 121 recessed inward from the side closer to the middle shell 13 and corresponding to the first fixing hole 134. The middle shell 13 is secured to the side panel 12 by screws passing through the first fixing hole 134 and the second fixing hole 121, respectively. In this embodiment, there are multiple first fixing holes 134 spaced apart on opposite sides of the middle shell 13. The number of second fixing holes 121 is the same as the number of first fixing holes 134, and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. This design facilitates the fixing of the middle shell 13 to the side panel 12, improves the stability of the connection between the middle shell 13 and the side panel 12, and facilitates assembly and disassembly.

[0030] The upper cover 2 has an inwardly recessed cover opening 22 on the side closest to the middle shell 13. Cover openings 22 are positioned opposite the first fixing openings and cover the corresponding screws. This design allows cover openings 22 to cover the exposed portion of the screws, preventing them from interfering with the magnetic connection between the upper cover 2 and the middle shell 13.

[0031] A side of the middle shell 13 away from the side plate 12 is provided with an inwardly recessed slot 135, and the upper cover 2 is fixed in the slot 135. This design can further enhance the stability of the connection between the upper cover 2 and the middle shell 13.

[0032] The upper cover 2 includes a first cover portion 23 and a second cover portion 24 that is snap-fitted to the first cover portion 23. A protruding, extending protrusion 231 is provided on the side of the first cover portion 23 near the second cover portion 24, and an inwardly recessed recess is provided on the side of the second cover portion 24 near the first cover portion 23. The first cover portion 23 extends to the inner side of the second cover portion 24 via the protrusion 231 to form a snap-fit ​​connection with the second cover portion 24. The second magnetic attraction point 21 is provided at the end of the first cover portion 23 away from the second cover portion 24. This design eliminates the need to remove the entire upper cover 2. The protrusion 231 of the first cover portion 23 and the second cover portion 24 form a snap-fit ​​connection, allowing the upper cover 2 to be stably fixed to the middle shell 13.

[0033] Of course, according to actual needs, a magnetic point can also be set at the end of the second cover portion 24 away from the first cover portion 23, and accordingly, a magnetic point needs to be set at the position corresponding to the magnetic point on the middle shell 13, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the second cover portion 24 and the middle shell 13.

[0034] The first cover portion 23 and the second cover portion 24 respectively include a top plate and a panel formed by bending and extending the other three side edges of the top plate. The side without the panel is the side where the first cover portion 23 and the second cover portion 24 are connected to each other. The number of the covering openings 22 is the same as the number of the first fixing holes 134 and they are arranged one by one. When there are multiple covering openings 22, they are respectively arranged at intervals on the side of the panels of the first cover portion 23 and the second cover portion 24 away from the top plate.

[0035] The first cover portion 23 is provided with a window 232 running through it. This design allows the steering gear of the robot body to be exposed outwards through the window 232.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the robot shell 100 of this embodiment sets a first magnetic point 132 on the middle shell 13 of the shell 1, and sets a second magnetic point 21 at the position of the upper cover 2 corresponding to the first magnetic point 132. In this way, the upper cover 2 can be fixed to the middle shell 13 of the shell 1 through the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic point 21 and the first magnetic point 132. When the body of the robot is damaged, the upper cover 2 can be directly removed to facilitate the maintenance of the robot body, which greatly reduces the difficulty of maintaining the robot.

[0037] In addition, combined Figure 3 As shown, the present invention further provides an embodiment of a robot 200, which includes the robot housing 100 of the above embodiment and a body 201 fixed to the robot housing 100. Since the robot 200 of this embodiment includes the robot housing 100 of the above embodiment, it can also achieve the technical effects achieved by the robot housing 100 of the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.
