Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of robot that can be deformed between vehicle posture and driveable. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the past, a resin-made driveable robot that can be deformed between vehicle posture and robot posture is known.

[0034] The robot which can be deformed between the vehicle attitude and the robot attitude and can be driven according to the above-mentioned present application will be described based on the embodiment. The embodiment is only an example of the present application, and the present application cannot be interpreted as being limited to the embodiment, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and deformations can be made within the scope of the claims of the present application.

[0035] [Embodiment 1]

[0036] In Figure 1 and Figure 2A top view of a robot posture of the robot of the present application is shown in FIG. 1. The robot of the present application includes: a robot main body 1; a head 2 provided at an upper portion of the robot main body 1; shoulder portions 3 provided at both sides of the robot main body 1; an arm portion 4 provided at a lower portion of the shoulder portions 3; a thigh portion 5 provided at a lower portion of the robot main body 1; a leg portion 6 provided at a lower portion of the thigh portion 5; and a knee joint Y provided between the robot main body 1 and the thigh portion 5. In the robot of the present application, a first rotation shaft X1 and a second rotation shaft X2 are composed of a metal such as aluminum, a light-weight aluminum alloy, and a stainless steel alloy having high rigidity, and other components are composed of a synthetic resin such as ABS resin. In the robot of the present application, since the rotation shafts are formed of a metal having high rigidity, even if the sizes of the robot main body 1, the shoulder portions 3, and the arm portion 4 are reduced, the rotation of the robot main body 1 and the shoulder portions 3 and the rotation of the shoulder portions and the arm portion 4 can be kept smooth, and the strength and durability are excellent.

[0037] On the other hand, the knee joint Y between the thigh portion 5 and the robot main body 1 can sufficiently ensure a large-diameter shape, and the rotation between the robot main body 1 and the thigh portion 5 of the robot of the present application can be performed sufficiently smoothly.

[0038] Then, in Figures 3A to 3E and Figures 4A to 4E , states (front and back) in which the robot posture of the robot of the present application is sequentially changed to a vehicle posture are shown. Figure 3A , Figure 4A a standing state and a lying state of the robot posture of the robot are shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, respectively, Figure 3B , Figure 4B a figure in which a pair of the thigh portions 5 and the leg portions 6 of the robot posture are folded to form a front portion 10 of a vehicle body is shown. Figure 3C , Figure 4C a state in which the shoulder portions 3, 3 are folded to form a rear portion 11 of the vehicle body, and the arm portions 4, 4 form door portions 12, 12 of the vehicle posture is shown.

[0039] Figure 3D , Figure 4D a state in which the front portion of the vehicle is turned over is shown, Figure 3E , Figure 4E a state in which the door portions of the vehicle posture are closed is shown.

[0040] Figure 5B is an example of a vehicle posture of the robot of the present application in which aluminum metal shafts (diameter 1 mm) are used in the rotation portions of the main body, the shoulder portions, and the arm portions, and all other components are formed of ABS resin, and on the other hand, an example of a vehicle posture of a conventional robot in which the rotation shafts (diameter 3.5 mm) of the main body, the shoulder portions, and the arm portions and all other components are ABS resin.

[0041] In the robot of the present application in which an aluminum metal shaft (1 mm in diameter) is used for the rotating portions of the main body, the shoulder portion, and the arm portion, all other components are formed of ABS resin. On the other hand, in comparison with the conventional robot (about 8 cm x about 3 cm x about 2.5 cm) in which the rotating shafts of the robot main body 1, the shoulder portion 3, and the arm portion 4 are also formed of ABS resin (3.5 mm in diameter), it is possible to reduce the size to about 2.2 cm x about 1.2 cm x about 0.7 cm and to reduce the weight to about one-tenth.

[0042] [Industrial applicability]

[0043] In the robot of the present application, only the first rotating shaft between the robot main body and the shoulder portion, and the second rotating shaft between the shoulder portion and the arm portion, which rotate greatly, are made of a metal such as aluminum, a lightweight aluminum alloy, and a stainless steel alloy, which have high rigidity, and the other components are made of a synthetic resin such as ABS resin. Even if the sizes of the robot main body 1, the head portion 2, the shoulder portion 3, and the arm portion 4 are reduced, it is possible to maintain smooth rotation of the robot main body 1 and the shoulder portion 3, and the shoulder portion and the arm portion 4, and to maintain high durability and strength.

[0044] The other components can be reduced in size, and as a result, the size, capacity, and weight of the robot can be greatly reduced, and great weight reduction and cost reduction become possible.
