[0029] Example
[0030] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4This utility model discloses a robot, including a robot torso with heat dissipation function. The robot torso with heat dissipation function includes a torso shell 1, a control board 2, and a cooling fan. The torso shell 1 has a first cavity 11 and a first air inlet 12 and a first air outlet 13 connecting the first cavity 11. The control board 2 and the cooling fan are both located within the first cavity 11. The cooling fan is used to accelerate airflow, so that a convection airflow channel is formed within the first cavity 11 from the first air inlet 12 to the first air outlet 13. With this design, by setting the first air inlet 12, the first air outlet 13, and the cooling fan, a convection airflow channel is formed within the first cavity 4 from the first air inlet 12 to the first air outlet 13 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The direction pointed to by the middle tip A is the direction of wind convection, which can effectively remove the heat from the control board 2, thereby ensuring that the robot can operate stably for a long time.
[0031] In some embodiments, there are two control boards 2, which are located on both sides of the body shell 1. In order to better dissipate heat from the control boards 2 in the first cavity 11, there are two sets of cooling fans, first air inlets 12 and first air outlets 13, which are respectively located on both sides of the body shell 1.
[0032] In some embodiments, the control panel 2 extends from the lower part of the torso shell 1 to the upper part of the torso shell 1, the first air inlet 12 is located at the lower part of the torso shell 1, the first air outlet 13 is located at the upper part of the torso shell 1, and a convection air duct is formed in the first cavity 4 from bottom to top to better remove the heat of the control panel 2.
[0033] Furthermore, the lower part of the torso shell 1 is provided with a downwardly sloping surface 14, and the first air inlet 12 is located on the sloping surface 14. The torso shell 1 is provided with an arm mounting port 15, and the first air outlet 13 is located below the arm mounting port 15. With this design, since the first air inlet 12 is located on the downwardly sloping surface 14, it can effectively avoid being seen by people, thus ensuring the robot has a good appearance. Similarly, the first air outlet 13 is located below the arm mounting port 15, and the arm can provide some shielding, thus ensuring the robot has a good appearance.
[0034] Furthermore, the cooling fan includes an intake fan 31 and an exhaust fan 32. The intake fan 31 is disposed within the first cavity 11 and corresponds to the first air inlet 12, used to draw air from the external environment into the first cavity 11. The exhaust fan 32 is disposed within the first cavity 11 and corresponds to the first air outlet 13, used to exhaust the air from the first cavity 11 to the external environment. This design can further increase the airflow velocity within the first cavity 11. It is understood that in other embodiments, a single fan design may also be used, and this is not limited here.
[0035] In some embodiments, in order to install the control board 2 in the first cavity 11, the robot torso with heat dissipation function also includes a cavity 4 for installing the control board 2. The cavity 4 is located in the first cavity 11. The cavity 4 is provided with a second cavity 41 and a second air inlet 42 and a second air outlet 43 connected to the second cavity 41. The second air inlet 42 is provided corresponding to and connected to the first air inlet 12. The second air outlet 43 is provided corresponding to and connected to the first air outlet 13. The control board 2 is located in the second cavity 41. The air intake fan 31 is provided corresponding to the first air intake 12 and the second air intake 42. The air outlet fan 32 is provided corresponding to the first air outlet 13 and the second air outlet 43.
[0036] Furthermore, the intake fan 31 is located inside the second cavity 41 at the position corresponding to the second air inlet 42, and the exhaust fan 32 is located between the second air outlet 43 and the first air outlet 13.
[0037] In some embodiments, the intake fan 31 has an intake filter on the side corresponding to the first air inlet 12, and the exhaust fan 32 has an exhaust filter on the side corresponding to the first air outlet 13. With this design, the intake filter prevents dust and moisture from entering the first cavity 11 from the first air inlet 12, and the exhaust filter prevents dust and moisture from entering the first cavity 11 from the first air outlet 13.
[0038] Preferably, both the intake fan 31 and the exhaust fan 32 are axial flow fans. Axial flow fans offer advantages such as high efficiency, low noise, and energy saving. It is understood that in other embodiments, centrifugal fans, rotary fans, or other types of fans may also be used, and this is not limited thereto.
[0039] The robot provided by this utility model features a heat dissipation system comprising a torso shell 1, a control board 2, and a cooling fan. The torso shell 1 has a first cavity 11 and a first air inlet 12 and a first air outlet 13 connecting the first cavity 11. The control board 2 and the cooling fan are both located within the first cavity 11. The cooling fan accelerates airflow, creating a convection channel within the first cavity 11 from the first air inlet 12 to the first air outlet 13. This design, by incorporating the first air inlet 12, the first air outlet 13, and the cooling fan, effectively removes heat from the control board 2, ensuring stable long-term operation of the robot.

This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the robot torso with heat dissipation function and the robot and its core idea.
