[0026] A shock absorbing structure for assisting a walking robot, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 Shown, including:
[0027] The bracket 10 has a mounting base 12 fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 10, and a positioning shaft 11 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting base 12. Specifically, the bracket 10 forms an integrally formed U-shaped rod body, and the inner side wall of the bracket 10 can rotatably install a roller. The mounting base 12 is fixedly mounted at the center position of the top of the bracket 10. The mounting base 12 is a circular plate, and a plurality of mounting holes for installation are opened on the top surface of the mounting base 12.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the buffer assembly is arranged above the mounting seat 12 for absorbing vibrations. The buffer assembly includes a bearing seat 20, an adjusting block 21 and a shock absorber 13. The bearing seat 20 is arranged above the mounting seat 12, and the positioning shaft 11 is slidably arranged in the cavity of the bearing seat 20. The bottom of the bearing seat 20 is threadedly connected to a plurality of adjusting blocks 21. The shock absorber 13 is installed between the adjusting block 21 and the mounting seat 12. The bearing seat 20 forms a cylinder with a sealed bottom. The bottom of the bearing seat 20 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and the adjusting blocks 21 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes. A plurality of adjusting blocks 21 are arranged at the bottom of the bearing seat 20, and an identical shock absorber 13 is arranged below each adjusting block 21. One end of the shock absorber 13 is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the adjusting block 21, and the other end of the shock absorber 13 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting seat 12.
[0029] The supporting seat 20 is fixedly mounted on the frame of the robot body. By arranging a shock absorber 13 between the adjusting block 21 and the mounting seat 12, the buffering damping is adjusted by rotating the adjusting block 21 to adjust the output shaft of the shock absorber 13 and the preload of the spring. The vertical vibration is buffered by driving the mounting seat 12 to move vertically by the bracket 10. The shock absorber 13 can be squeezed by the bracket 10, and the output shaft and spring of the shock absorber 13 are used to achieve shock absorption and buffering of the bracket 10 in the vertical direction, thereby suppressing the transmission of road bumps and improving stability and comfort.
[0030] The buffer assembly also includes ear plates 22. The outer wall of the supporting seat 20 is fixedly connected to several ear plates 22 for installation. The ear plates 22 are provided with mounting holes. The ear plates 22 are fixed to the frame of the robot using screws through the ear plates 22. The rollers contact the ground to form support, which is convenient for assembly.
[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the buffer assembly further includes an outer shell 30, an inner shell 31 and a buffer block 32. The buffer block 32 forms an annular structure. The outer shell 30 is arranged on the outer ring of the buffer block 32, and the inner shell 31 is arranged on the inner ring of the inner shell 31. The outer shell 30 and the inner shell 31 are both annular structures. An annular channel is formed between the outer shell 30 and the inner shell 31. The buffer block 32 is interference fit with the annular channel. The buffer assembly further includes a deformation groove 33. A plurality of deformation grooves 33 are provided at the end of the buffer block 32. The deformation groove 33 passes through the buffer block 32. A deformable petal-shaped structure is formed between two adjacent deformation grooves 33. The outer shell 30 and the cavity of the bearing seat 20 are interference fit. The outer shell 30 is squeezed into the cavity of the bearing seat 20.
[0032] In this solution, since the roller is affected by bumps when rolling on the ground, the bracket 10 does not produce a single vertical displacement, but may also produce horizontal displacement. The rubber inner shell 31 is matched with the metal outer shell 30 and inner shell 31, and a circular hole is opened at the bottom of the bearing seat 20. The diameter of the circular hole is larger than the diameter of the mounting seat 12. The mounting seat 12 offsets and squeezes the outer shell 30 to deform the inner shell 31. The deformation amplitude of the petal structure of the buffer block 32 is increased through the deformation groove 33 to achieve horizontal force buffering of the bracket 10. While ensuring the support strength, it reduces the impact of the horizontal impact on the driving quality. Combined with the vertical displacement of the outer shell 30, it has the dual characteristics of improving vertical and horizontal impact vibration.
[0033] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: a shock absorber 13 is arranged between the adjustment block 21 and the mounting seat 12. By rotating the adjustment block 21 to adjust the output shaft of the shock absorber 13 and the preload of the spring, the buffer damping is adjusted. The bracket 10 drives the mounting seat 12 to move in the vertical direction to achieve buffering of vertical vibration. The rubber inner shell 31 is matched with the metal outer shell 30 and inner shell 31. A circular hole is opened at the bottom of the bearing seat 20. The diameter of the circular hole is larger than the diameter of the mounting seat 12. The mounting seat 12 offsets and squeezes the outer shell 30 to deform the inner shell 31. The deformation amplitude of the petal structure of the buffer block 32 is increased by the deformation groove 33 to achieve horizontal force buffering of the bracket 10. While ensuring the support strength, the impact of the impact in the horizontal direction on the driving texture is reduced. Cooperating with the vertical displacement of the outer shell 30, it has the dual characteristics of improving vertical and horizontal impact vibration.
[0034] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
