[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a detachable battery structure, including a robot chassis 1 and a rechargeable battery 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery 2 has a first interface 24 at its rear end that is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery 2, and the rechargeable battery 2 can be charged through the first interface 24.

[0027] The robot chassis 1 serves as the robot chassis, supporting the entire robot. The robot chassis 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for accommodating the rechargeable battery 2.

[0028] Preferably, the rear wall of the receiving groove 11 of the robot chassis 1 is provided with a second interface 111 for electrical connection with the first interface 24 and a positioning hole 112, wherein the rear end of the rechargeable battery 2 is also provided with a positioning post 21 that is engaged in the positioning hole 112. It should be understood that when the rechargeable battery 2 is placed in the receiving groove 11, the first interface 24 and the second interface 111 can be electrically connected simply by positioning the positioning post 21 in the positioning hole 112.

[0029] It is understood that the rechargeable battery 2 in this application can be implemented using products in the prior art, and its principles and structure will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Preferably, the receiving groove 11 is rectangular in shape, and the rechargeable battery 2 is rectangular in shape. It should be understood that the length and width of the receiving groove 11 are equal to the length and width of the rechargeable battery 2, so that the rechargeable battery 2 can be stably received in the receiving groove 11.

[0031] Furthermore, the rechargeable battery 2 has a handle 22 at its front end.

[0032] In this embodiment, a locking mechanism is provided between the side wall of the receiving groove 11 of the robot chassis 1 and the side wall of the rechargeable battery 2. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 of the robot chassis 1 is also provided with a blocking mechanism for locking the rechargeable battery 2, so that the rechargeable battery 2 can be detachably installed in the receiving groove 11 of the robot chassis 1 through the locking mechanism and the blocking mechanism.

[0033] Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a receiving slot 113 disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove 11 of the robot chassis 1, and a locking part 23 disposed on the side wall of the rechargeable battery 2 for receiving and locking within the receiving slot 113. It should be understood that when the rechargeable battery 2 is received in the receiving groove 11, the locking part 23 is locked within the receiving slot 113, making the rechargeable battery 2 less prone to loosening. Combined with the structure of the positioning post 21 being locked within the positioning hole 112, the rechargeable battery 2 can be more stably received within the receiving groove 11.

[0034] Preferably, there are two card slots 113, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the receiving groove 11, and there are two locking parts 23, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rechargeable battery 2.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the receiving slot 113 is provided with a first threaded hole 3, and the end of the retaining part 23 near the front end of the rechargeable battery 2 extends downward to provide an extension part 231 that is retained outside the receiving slot 113. The extension part 231 is provided with a second threaded hole 4 corresponding to the first threaded hole 3, and a first screw 31 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 4 and the first threaded hole 3. It should be understood that there are two first threaded holes 3, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom wall of the receiving slot 113, and there are two extension parts 231, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rechargeable battery 2.

[0036] Specifically, the blocking mechanism includes a recess 5 on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 11 of the robot chassis 1 and a retractable lifting block 52 disposed within the recess 5. It should be understood that the rechargeable battery 2 can be installed in the receiving groove 11 because of the cooperation between the locking part 23 and the receiving slot 113, which prevents the rechargeable battery 2 from moving vertically within the receiving groove 11. The retractable lifting block 52, disposed within the recess 5, prevents the battery from moving horizontally during normal use. When it is necessary to remove the rechargeable battery 2, it can be removed from the receiving groove 11 by pressing the lifting block 52.

[0037] Furthermore, a compression spring 51 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the recess 5, that is, the bottom end of the compression spring 51 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the recess 5, and the top end of the compression spring 51 is fixedly connected to a lifting block 52. It should be understood that the compression spring 51 can cause the lifting block 52 to extend beyond the inner surface of the receiving groove 11 when it is not subjected to external force, thereby blocking the rechargeable battery 2. When the lifting block 52 is compressed by external force, it can be retracted into the recess 5 by the compression spring 51, so that the lifting block 52 no longer blocks the rechargeable battery 2.

[0038] Furthermore, the disassembled battery structure also includes a cover plate 6, which is detachably mounted on the robot chassis 1 to cover the receiving groove 11.

[0039] Preferably, the robot chassis 1 is cylindrical, and the cover plate 6 includes a first cover plate 61 that is rectangular and disposed on the top surface of the robot chassis 1, and a second cover plate 62 that is arc-shaped and disposed on the side wall of the robot chassis 1. It should be understood that the cover plate 6 can protect the rechargeable battery 2 in the receiving groove 11 from dust and prevent damage to the rechargeable battery 2 in most cases. When it is necessary to replace or repair the rechargeable battery 2, the cover plate 6 can be removed to take out the rechargeable battery 2 in the receiving groove 11 for repair.

[0040] It should be understood that the cover plate 6 in this embodiment can be mounted on the robot chassis 1 by magnetic attraction or threaded connection.

[0041] Specific working principle:

[0042] When the robot's battery malfunctions and requires repair or replacement, the cover plate 6 on the robot chassis 1 can be removed, and the rechargeable battery 2, which is held in the receiving groove 11, can be taken out. First, loosen the first screw fastened to the first threaded hole 3 and the second threaded hole 4, and then press the lifting block 52 to retract it into the recess 5. Then, the handle 22 can be used to remove the battery from the receiving groove 11. When the battery repair is completed or needs to be replaced, the locking parts 23 on both sides of the rechargeable battery 2 can be locked into the receiving slot 113. Then, the positioning post 21 at the rear end of the rechargeable battery 2 can be inserted into the positioning hole 112. Finally, the first threaded hole 3 and the second threaded hole 4 can be aligned and the first screw 31 can be installed to complete the battery installation. After the rechargeable battery 2 is installed in the receiving groove 11, the compression spring 51 in the recess 5 will push the lifting block 52 out of the inner wall of the receiving groove 11, so that the lifting block 52 locks the front end of the rechargeable battery 2. Finally, the cover plate 6 can be closed to complete the entire battery replacement process.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
