Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humanoid robot technology, and in particular to a bus terminal and its humanoid robot bus system. Background Technology

[0002] Humanoid robots are increasingly being used in various fields, such as service robots and industrial robots, due to their flexibility and multi-degree-of-freedom structure. For these robot systems with multi-degree-of-freedom structures, stable and rapid data exchange and control signal transmission are required between their various joints, actuators, and sensors.

[0003] With the rapid development of robotics technology, simplifying robot wiring structures and improving assembly efficiency, reliability, and system communication capabilities are key issues in current humanoid robot design. Traditional wiring methods typically use separate power and communication lines, resulting in complex wiring harnesses and unstable connections, increasing the difficulty of assembly and maintenance. Correspondingly, humanoid robots have numerous motor components and sensor nodes at their joints. The plugs connecting the power lines to the motor components and the communication lines to the sensor nodes also employ separate designs, leading to a cluttered and unstable connection at the joints, further increasing the difficulty of assembly and maintenance, and easily causing communication interruptions or power instability.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 6The first embodiment of this application proposes a bus terminal block, which includes: a bus cable 100, a cable housing 200, and a connecting cable 300; the bus cable 100 is provided with a terminal 110, the cable housing 200 is provided with a first terminal hole 210 and a second terminal hole 220, the first terminal hole 210 and the second terminal hole 220 are connected, the bus cable 100 passes through the first terminal hole 210, the terminal 110 is located in the connection between the first terminal hole 210 and the second terminal hole 220, one end of the connecting cable 300 passes through the second terminal hole 220 to connect with the terminal 110; the other end of the connecting cable 300 is used for electrical connection and signal connection to a humanoid robot, and the cable housing 200 is used for connection and fixation to the humanoid robot.

[0031] Specifically, terminal 110 is located in the middle of the bus cable 100.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bus terminal block is connected to the cable cover 200. The terminal 110 of the bus cable 100 passes through the first terminal hole 210, and the connecting end of the connecting cable 300 is inserted into the connection between the second terminal hole 220 and the first terminal hole 210. This achieves a closed and secure connection between the bus cable 100 and the connecting cable 300 within the cable cover 200. This not only improves the connection stability between the bus cable 100 and the connecting cable 300 but also prevents the connection between the complex bus cable 100 and the complex connecting cable 300 from becoming tangled and messy. Furthermore, the connection is fixed to the humanoid robot via the cable cover 200, further enhancing the connection stability between the bus cable 100 and the connecting cable 300. This reduces the probability of communication interruptions or power instability, and simplifies assembly and maintenance.

[0033] In summary, the bus terminal block has the advantages of compact structure, reliable connection, and easy installation.

The main conductor 120 passes through the first wiring hole 210 and the two bus sleeves 130, so that the terminal 110 is firmly located in the first wiring hole 210, giving the bus terminal good insulation and waterproof performance. Moreover, the use of the cable cover 200 simplifies the installation process, so that the user does not need to use additional fasteners or connectors to fix the cable.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The main conductor 120 includes several power positive and negative wire buses 121 and several communication buses 122; the connecting conductor 310 includes several power positive and negative wire connections 311 and several communication connections 312, with the power positive and negative wire buses 121 and the power positive and negative wire connections 311 connected in a one-to-one correspondence, and the communication buses 122 and the communication connections 312 connected in a one-to-one correspondence; the second connecting hole 220 is divided into several power connection holes 221 and several communication connection holes 222, with the power positive and negative wire connections 311 passing through the power connection holes 221 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the communication connections 312 passing through the communication connection holes 222 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0037] Specifically, the power supply positive and negative wire bus 121 is connected to the motor component 1000 at the joint of the humanoid robot via the power supply positive and negative wire connector 311. The communication bus 122 is connected to the sensor node at the joint of the humanoid robot via the communication connector 312.

[0038] Specifically, the power supply positive and negative wire bus 121 is divided into a power supply positive wire bus and a power supply negative wire bus; the power supply positive and negative wire connection 311 is divided into a power supply positive wire connection and a power supply negative wire connection. The power supply positive wire bus is connected to the power supply positive wire connection, and the power supply negative wire bus is connected to the power supply negative wire connection. Both the communication bus 122 and the communication connection 312 are EtherCAT communication lines.

[0039] In this embodiment, multiple power positive and negative wire buses 121 and multiple communication buses 122 are integrated into a single line, namely the main conductor 120. Multiple power positive and negative wire connections 311 and multiple communication connections 312 are also integrated into a single line, namely the connecting conductor 310. This integration of the connections between the power positive and negative wire buses 121 and 311, and between the communication buses 122 and 312, avoids a cluttered and disorganized array of connectors, thus reducing the difficulty of assembly and maintenance.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The mounting plate 260 includes a first support plate 261 and a second support plate 262; one end of the second support plate 262 is vertically connected to one end of the first support plate 261, and the other end of the first support plate 261 is connected to the outer wall of the second cover 240.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first support plate 261 and the second support plate 262 are used to increase the fixed connection point between the second cover 240 and the motor component 1000 of the humanoid robot, and the fixed connection between the second cover 240 and the motor component 1000 of the humanoid robot is achieved from two intersecting directions.

[0053] Specifically, the first support plate 261 is provided with a second screw hole 2611, and the second support plate 262 is provided with a third screw hole 2621. Both the second screw hole 2611 and the third screw hole 2621 are used to insert screws.
