Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a chest shell assembly and a humanoid robot, belonging to the field of humanoid robot technology. Background Technology

[0002] The thoracic cavity is the core of a humanoid robot, housing numerous components and thus possessing a relatively large volume. For a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, a shell structure is needed to cover and conceal the main components, resulting in a large surface area for the shell covering the thoracic cavity. Therefore, to reduce the manufacturing complexity of the shell, it can be constructed by assembling multiple smaller shell pieces.

[0003] Currently, shells assembled from smaller shells require tight threaded connections to ensure overall structural consistency. However, this prevents the smaller shells from absorbing and releasing external forces, which can easily damage the shell. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a chest shell assembly and a humanoid robot, which solves the problem in the related art that the outer shell of the humanoid robot used to cover the chest cavity structure is easily damaged.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a chest shell assembly, comprising:

[0006] The thorax body includes a front shell and a rear shell, the front shell and the rear shell being opposite to each other and spaced apart;

[0007] Two arm buffers are arranged along a first direction and distributed on both sides of the chest shell body. The arm buffers are detachably connected to the chest shell body and have arm holes for the robotic arm to pass through.

[0008] A neck buffer is distributed along the second direction on one side of the chest shell body. The neck buffer is detachably connected to the chest shell body and has a neck hole for the neck structure to pass through.

[0009] Wherein, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0010] Both the arm buffer and the neck buffer are elastic members. The arm buffer has a first break, one end of which extends to the edge of the arm buffer, and the other end of which is connected to the arm hole.

[0011] The neck buffer has a second break, one end of which extends to the edge of the neck buffer, and the other end of which is connected to the neck hole.

[0012] In some embodiments, the arm buffer is detachably connected at the portions on both sides of the first fracture, and the neck buffer is detachably connected at the portions on both sides of the second fracture.

[0013] In some embodiments, the arm buffer is threaded to the portions on either side of the first fracture, and the neck buffer is threaded to the portions on either side of the second fracture.

[0014] In some embodiments, the chest shell assembly further includes two rib shells disposed along the first direction and distributed on both sides of the chest shell body. The rib shells are detachably connected to the front shell and the rear shell, and the rib shells are detachably connected to the arm buffer.

[0015] In some embodiments, the chest shell assembly further includes a shoulder shell disposed between the chest shell body and the neck buffer, and the shoulder shell is detachably connected to the neck buffer, the front shell, and the rear shell, respectively.

[0016] In some embodiments, the edges of the front housing, the rear housing, any of the rib housings, and the shoulder housing surround a first locking interface, and two first locking interfaces are distributed on both sides of the chest body along the first direction, with the arm buffer embedded in the first locking interface.

[0017] The shoulder housing has a second card interface, and the neck buffer is embedded in the second card interface on the side adjacent to the shoulder housing.

[0018] In some embodiments, the chest shell assembly further includes a fastener, the shoulder shell has a plurality of fastening holes arranged around the second card interface, and the fastener passes through the fastening holes and the neck buffer.

[0019] In some embodiments, the rear housing has a first heat dissipation hole, and the rib housing has a second heat dissipation hole.

[0020] In some embodiments, the inner side of the shoulder shell is provided with a positioning boss, and the thoracic cavity structure is provided with a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning boss, the positioning boss being embedded in the positioning groove; the thoracic cavity structure is located inside the thoracic shell assembly.

[0021] Secondly, based on the chest shell assembly described above, this application also provides a humanoid robot, including the chest shell assembly described above.

[0022] In the chest shell assembly provided in this application, the front and rear shells, the two arm buffers, and the neck buffer can all be separately fixed to the chest cavity structure of the humanoid robot. Correspondingly, the front and rear shells, the two arm buffers, and the neck buffer can be manufactured separately and then assembled, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the chest shell assembly. Furthermore, any one of the front or rear shells, the two arm buffers, or the neck buffer can be replaced individually if damaged, reducing the maintenance cost of the chest shell assembly. The neck hole in the neck buffer allows the humanoid robot's neck structure to pass through, and the arm buffer allows the humanoid robot's robotic arm to pass through. The neck and arm buffers are elastic components, giving them energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing properties. Thus, when the neck structure rotates and impacts the neck buffer, or when the robotic arm rotates and impacts the arm buffer, the neck and arm buffers can absorb the impact force through deformation, preventing damage to the neck and arm buffers. The arm buffer has a first break, and the neck buffer has a second break, allowing the arm and neck buffers to be integrally molded using a die-casting process. This results in improved structural stability for both the arm and neck buffers and further reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process. Therefore, the chest shell assembly structure of this application has a simple manufacturing process, is easy to maintain, and maintains good structural reliability even after long-term use.

[0023] The humanoid robot provided in this application, including the aforementioned chest shell assembly, simplifies the manufacturing process of the humanoid robot, makes it easier to maintain, and maintains good structural reliability even after long-term use. Attached Figure Description

[0043] The thoracic cavity is the core of a humanoid robot, housing numerous components and thus possessing a relatively large volume. For a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, a shell structure is needed to cover and conceal the main components, resulting in a large surface area for the shell covering the thoracic cavity. Therefore, to reduce the manufacturing complexity of the shell, it can be constructed by assembling multiple smaller shell pieces.

[0044] Currently, shells assembled from smaller shells require tight threaded connections to ensure overall structural consistency. However, this prevents the smaller shells from absorbing and releasing external forces, which can easily damage the shell.

[0045] Specifically, the outer shell needs to have openings for the robotic arm and the neck structure of the humanoid robot to pass through, so that the thoracic cavity structure can connect to the robotic arm and the head of the humanoid robot. During the operation of the humanoid robot, its robotic arm and neck structure will rotate to simulate the rotation of a human arm and head. Correspondingly, the movement of the robotic arm and neck structure may cause impacts to the surrounding outer shell, resulting in damage to the outer shell.

[0046] In the chest shell assembly proposed in this application, the front and rear shells, the two arm buffers, and the neck buffer can all be separately fixed to the chest cavity structure of the humanoid robot. Correspondingly, the front and rear shells, the two arm buffers, and the neck buffer can be manufactured separately and then assembled, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the chest shell assembly. Furthermore, any one of the front or rear shells, the two arm buffers, or the neck buffer can be replaced individually if damaged, reducing the maintenance cost of the chest shell assembly. The neck hole in the neck buffer allows the humanoid robot's neck structure to pass through, and the arm buffer allows the humanoid robot's robotic arm to pass through. The neck and arm buffers are elastic components, giving them energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing properties. Thus, when the neck structure rotates and impacts the neck buffer, or when the robotic arm rotates and impacts the arm buffer, the neck and arm buffers can absorb the impact force through deformation, preventing damage to the neck and arm buffers. The arm buffer has a first break, and the neck buffer has a second break, allowing the arm and neck buffers to be integrally molded using a die-casting process. This results in improved structural stability for both the arm and neck buffers and further reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process. Therefore, the chest shell assembly structure of this application has a simple manufacturing process, is easy to maintain, and maintains good structural reliability even after long-term use.

[0047] The humanoid robot proposed in this application, including the aforementioned chest shell assembly, simplifies the manufacturing process of the humanoid robot, makes it easier to maintain, and maintains good structural reliability even after long-term use.

[0048] The chest shell assembly and humanoid robot provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0049] This application proposes a chest shell assembly, with reference to... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a chest shell main body, two arm buffers 200, and a neck buffer 300. This chest shell assembly can be used in humanoid robots. The thoracic cavity structure of the humanoid robot is located inside the chest shell assembly.

[0050] The thorax body is the basic component of the thorax assembly of this application. The thorax body provides a mounting base for at least some of the other components of the thorax assembly and serves to protect them. The thorax body can be made of metal, giving it better structural strength, thus improving its durability and reliability. Alternatively, the thorax body can be made of polymer materials, allowing it to maintain structural strength while remaining relatively lightweight.

[0051] The chest shell assembly includes a front shell 110 and a rear shell 120, which are opposite to and spaced apart. When the chest shell assembly of this application is applied to a humanoid robot, the front shell 110 can cover the front of the humanoid robot's thoracic cavity structure, and the rear shell 120 can cover the back of the humanoid robot's thoracic cavity structure, and both the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 are connected and fixed to the thoracic cavity structure. In this way, the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 can shield the front and back of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0052] The front housing 110 may have a camera port 111 and a radar port 112. The camera port 111 is opposite to the camera on the thoracic cavity structure, and the radar port 112 is opposite to the radar on the thoracic cavity structure, so that the camera and radar can be exposed externally. The rear housing 120 may have a first heat dissipation hole 121 and a panel opening 122. Some of the heat generated by the humanoid robot during operation can be discharged through the first heat dissipation hole 121. The panel on the thoracic cavity structure is opposite to the panel opening 122, so that the panel can be exposed externally.

[0053] Two arm-shaped buffers 200 are arranged along a first direction and distributed on both sides of the main body of the thorax. The first direction is... Figure 1 In the Y direction, the direction from the front housing 110 to the rear housing 120 is... Figure 1 The X-direction is perpendicular to the direction from the front shell 110 to the rear shell 120. Specifically, when the chest shell assembly of this application is applied to a humanoid robot, the two arm buffers 200 can respectively cover the portion above the ribs on both sides of the chest cavity structure. The arm buffers 200 have arm holes 210, and one end of the humanoid robot's robotic arm can pass through the arm holes 210 and connect to the chest cavity structure. The arm buffers 200 are detachably connected to the chest shell body. Specifically, the two arm buffers 200 can be detachably connected to the sides of the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 respectively, which makes the structure of the chest shell assembly of this application stable. In addition, the arm buffers 200, the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 can also be manufactured separately, thereby reducing the manufacturing process difficulty of the chest shell assembly of this application.

[0054] The neck buffer 300 is disposed along the second direction and is located on one side of the main body of the chest shell. The second direction is... Figure 1In the Z direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The second direction can also be perpendicular to the direction from the front shell 110 to the rear shell 120. Specifically, when the chest shell assembly of this application is applied to a humanoid robot, the neck buffer 300 can cover the portion between the shoulders on both sides of the chest cavity structure. The neck buffer 300 has a neck hole 310, and one end of the humanoid robot's neck structure can pass through the neck hole 310 and connect to the chest cavity structure. The neck buffer 300 is detachably connected to the chest shell body, which makes the structure of the chest shell assembly of this application stable. In addition, the neck buffer 300, the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 can be manufactured separately, thereby reducing the manufacturing process difficulty of the chest shell assembly of this application.

[0055] Therefore, the two arm buffers 200, the neck buffer 300, the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 of this application can all be manufactured separately and then assembled onto the chest cavity structure of the humanoid robot, thereby reducing the difficulty of the manufacturing process of the chest shell assembly.

[0056] The arm buffer 200 is an elastic component, such as a high-elasticity polymer material. Specifically, the arm buffer 200 is made of a high-elasticity polymer material, giving it energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing properties. When the robotic arm rotates and collides with the arm buffer 200, the arm buffer 200 can absorb the impact force through deformation, preventing damage. The arm buffer 200 has a first break 220, one end of which extends to the edge of the arm buffer 200, and the other end connects to the arm hole 210. This allows the arm buffer 200 to be integrally molded using a die-casting process, resulting in better structural stability and further reducing the difficulty of the manufacturing process.

[0057] Furthermore, since the arm buffer 200 is resistant to impacts from the robotic arm, the arm hole 210 of the arm buffer 200 can be configured to match the shape of the robotic arm, so that the outer wall of the portion of the robotic arm passing through the arm hole 210 fits snugly against the inner wall of the arm hole 210. This eliminates any gaps between the inner wall of the arm hole 210 and the robotic arm, thus improving the effectiveness of the arm buffer 200 in shielding the thoracic cavity structure.

[0058] The neck buffer 300 is an elastic component, such as a high-elasticity polymer material. Specifically, the neck buffer 300 is made of a high-elasticity polymer material, giving it an energy-absorbing and shock-absorbing function. When the neck structure rotates and collides with the neck buffer 300, the neck buffer 300 can absorb the impact force through deformation, preventing damage. The neck buffer 300 has a second break 320, one end of which extends to the edge of the neck buffer 300, and the other end connects to the neck hole 310. This allows the neck buffer 300 to be integrally molded using a die-casting process, resulting in better structural stability and further reducing the difficulty of the manufacturing process.

[0059] Furthermore, since the neck buffer 300 is resistant to impacts from the neck structure, the neck hole 310 of the neck buffer 300 can be configured to match the shape of the neck structure, so that the outer wall of the portion of the neck structure passing through the neck hole 310 fits snugly against the inner wall of the neck hole 310. This eliminates any gaps between the inner wall of the neck hole 310 and the neck structure, thus improving the effectiveness of the neck buffer 300 in shielding the thoracic cavity.

[0060] In some implementations, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the structural stability of the arm buffer 200, the parts of the arm buffer 200 located on both sides of the first break 220 can be connected in a detachable manner, which makes the overall integrity of the arm buffer 200 better and the structure more stable.

[0061] Specifically, the arm buffer 200 may include a first buffer portion and a second buffer portion. The first buffer portion has a first end and a second end, and the second buffer portion also has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first buffer portion is connected to the first end of the second buffer portion, and a first break 220 is formed between the second ends of the first buffer portion and the second ends of the second buffer portion. The second ends of the first buffer portion and the second ends of the second buffer portion can be detachably connected, so that when the arm buffer 200 is subjected to impact, the second ends of the first buffer portion and the second ends of the second buffer portion can remain relatively fixed, thereby stabilizing the overall structure of the arm buffer 200.

[0062] To improve the structural stability of the neck buffer 300, the portions of the neck buffer 300 located on both sides of the second break 320 can be detachably connected, which makes the overall integrity of the neck buffer 300 better and the structure more stable.

[0063] Specifically, the neck buffer 300 may include a third buffer portion and a fourth buffer portion. The third buffer portion has a first end and a second end, and the fourth buffer portion also has a first end and a second end. The first end of the third buffer portion is connected to the first end of the fourth buffer portion, and a second break 320 is formed between the second end of the third buffer portion and the second end of the fourth buffer portion. The second end of the third buffer portion and the second end of the fourth buffer portion can be detachably connected, so that when the neck buffer 300 is subjected to impact, the second end of the third buffer portion and the second end of the fourth buffer portion can remain relatively fixed, thereby stabilizing the overall structure of the neck buffer 300.

[0064] In some embodiments, in order to enable the portions of the arm buffer 200 located on both sides of the first break 220 to be detachably connected, the portions of the arm buffer 200 located on both sides of the first break 220 may be detachably connected by threaded connection.

[0065] Specifically, the first buffer portion of the arm buffer 200 near its second end and the second buffer portion near its second end can be provided with corresponding screw holes. The second end of the first buffer portion and the second end of the second buffer portion can be fixed by screwing a bolt into the screw holes of both.

[0066] In order to enable the portions of the neck buffer 300 located on both sides of the second break 320 to be detachably connected, the portions of the neck buffer 300 located on both sides of the second break 320 can be detachably connected by threaded connection.

[0067] Specifically, the third buffer portion of the neck buffer 300 near its second end and the fourth buffer portion near its second end can be provided with corresponding screw holes. The second end of the third buffer portion and the second end of the fourth buffer portion can be fixed by screwing a bolt into the screw holes of both.

[0068] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the chest shell assembly of this application can fully cover the thoracic cavity structure of the humanoid robot, the chest shell assembly may also include two rib shells 400. The two rib shells 400 are arranged along a first direction and distributed on both sides of the chest shell body. The two rib shells 400 are detachably connected to the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120, and the rib shells 400 are detachably connected to the arm buffer 200.

[0069] Specifically, the arm buffer 200 and the rib shell 400, located on the same side of the main body of the chest shell, can be arranged along a second direction. When the chest shell assembly of this application is applied to a humanoid robot, the rib shell 400 can cover the ribs of the humanoid robot's thoracic structure, and the rib shell 400 is connected and fixed to the thoracic structure. In this way, the rib shell 400 can shield the ribs of the thoracic structure.

[0070] The rib shell 400 may have a second heat dissipation hole 410, through which some of the heat generated by the humanoid robot during operation can be dissipated.

[0071] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to ensure that the chest shell assembly of this application can fully cover the thoracic cavity structure of the humanoid robot, the chest shell assembly may also include a shoulder shell 500. The shoulder shell 500 is disposed between the chest shell body and the neck buffer 300, and the shoulder shell 500 is detachably connected to the neck buffer 300, the front shell 110 and the rear shell 120 respectively.

[0072] Specifically, the chest shell body, shoulder shell 500, and neck buffer 300 can be arranged sequentially along the second direction. When the chest shell assembly of this application is applied to a humanoid robot, the shoulder shell 500 can cover the shoulder of the humanoid robot's thoracic structure, and the shoulder shell 500 is connected and fixed to the thoracic structure. In this way, the shoulder shell 500 can shield the shoulder of the thoracic structure.

[0073] In addition, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to improve the structural strength of the shoulder shell 500, reinforcing ribs 530 can be provided on the inner side of the shoulder shell 500. Multiple reinforcing ribs 530 can be provided, distributed in various parts of the inner side of the shoulder shell 500. These multiple reinforcing ribs 530 can support various parts of the shoulder shell 500. Positioning bosses 540 can also be provided on the inner side of the shoulder shell 500, and corresponding positioning grooves can be provided in the thoracic cavity structure. The positioning bosses 540 are embedded in the positioning grooves, making the shoulder shell 500 easy to install. The shoulder shell 500 also has a mesh opening 550, which is opposite to the mesh opening of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0074] In some implementations, reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to make the structure of the arm buffer 200 more stable after installation, the edges of the front housing 110, the rear housing 120, any of the rib housings 400 and the shoulder housing 500 are arranged to form a first snap-fit ​​interface 130. The arm buffer 200 is embedded in the first snap-fit ​​interface 130, so that the arm buffer 200 can be snapped and fixed with the front housing 110, the rear housing 120, the shoulder housing 500 and the rib housing 400.

[0075] Specifically, there are two first card interfaces 130, distributed along a first direction on both sides of the chest shell body. The structure of the first card interfaces 130 can match the shape of the arm buffer 200, so that when the arm buffer 200 is embedded in the first card interface 130, the outer wall of the arm buffer 200 abuts against the inner wall of the first card interface 130. When installing the chest shell assembly of this application, the front shell 110, rear shell 120, shoulder shell 500, and rib shell 400 can be installed on the chest cavity structure of the humanoid robot to form the first card interfaces 130. Then, the arm buffer 200 is embedded in the first card interfaces 130. It should be understood that, since the arm buffer 200 is an elastic structural component, when installing the arm buffer 200, it can be easily installed into the first card interface 130 by pressing the arm buffer 200 to deform it.

[0076] To ensure greater structural stability after the arm buffer 200 is installed, refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the edge of the shoulder housing 500 forms a second snap-fit ​​interface 510, and the neck buffer 300 is embedded in the second snap-fit ​​interface 510, so that the neck buffer 300 can be snapped and fixed to the shoulder housing 500.

[0077] Specifically, the structure of the second card interface 510 can match the shape of the neck buffer 300, so that when the neck buffer 300 is embedded in the second card interface 510, the outer wall of the neck buffer 300 can abut against the inner wall of the second card interface 510. When installing the chest shell assembly of this application, the front shell 110, rear shell 120, shoulder shell 500, and rib shell 400 can all be installed on the chest cavity structure of the humanoid robot first, and then the neck buffer 300 can be embedded in the second card interface 510. It should be understood that, since the neck buffer 300 is an elastic structural component, when installing the neck buffer 300, it can be easily installed into the second card interface 510 by pressing the neck buffer 300 to deform it.

[0078] In some implementations, reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, to further improve the connection reliability between the neck buffer 300 and the shoulder shell 500, the chest shell assembly of this application may also include a fixing member. The shoulder shell 500 has multiple fixing holes 520, which are arranged around the second card interface 510. The fixing member can be inserted into the neck buffer 300 and the multiple fixing holes 520 to reliably connect the neck fixing member to the shoulder shell 500.

[0079] Specifically, the fixing hole 520 can be a screw hole, and a through hole can be provided on the neck buffer 300. The fixing element is a bolt, which can be used to fix the neck buffer 300 to the shoulder housing 500 by passing the bolt through the through hole and screwing it into the screw hole. Of course, the fixing hole 520 can also be a through hole, and the fixing element can be a bolt and a nut, which can also fix the neck buffer 300 to the shoulder housing 500.

[0080] In some embodiments, both the arm buffer 200 and the neck buffer 300 can be made of rubber. This allows the arm buffer 200 and the neck buffer 300 to be manufactured using a molding process, resulting in lower manufacturing costs.

[0081] In some embodiments, the front housing 110, rear housing 120, rib housing 400, and shoulder housing 500 of this application are photosensitive resin parts or nylon parts. Specifically, the front housing 110, rear housing 120, rib housing 400, and shoulder housing 500 can be manufactured by additive manufacturing processes, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the front housing 110, rear housing 120, rib housing 400, and shoulder housing 500 and reducing costs.

[0082] Based on the aforementioned chest shell assembly, this application also proposes a humanoid robot, including a chest cavity structure and the aforementioned humanoid robot. The front shell 110, rear shell 120, rib shell 400, and shoulder shell 500 can all be fixed to the chest cavity structure via threaded connections. This ensures the structural stability of the humanoid robot of this application.
