[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of electronic robots, and in particular relates to an electronic robot charging structure and an electronic robot. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic companion robots and electronic pets are emerging technological products in recent years. They can interact naturally with users through voice, facial expressions, and actions, providing emotional support. With the continuous advancement of technology, electronic companion robots are no longer large robots. Their miniaturization and personalization have led to their size as desktop ornaments, meeting the needs of more scenarios. However, the use of desktop ornaments also brings the need for easy placement. Most current products require a power connection, resulting in a fixed position. Some have internal batteries, allowing the products to be used without a power source, thus eliminating the need to consider the limitations of wires. However, this method often leads to forgetting to plug in the cord when putting the product back, resulting in frequent power outages, which greatly affects the user experience in the long run. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic robot charging structure that incorporates a contact-type charging structure, enabling automatic conductive connection when the product is placed back in its corresponding position, making it more convenient to use.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides an electronic robot charging structure, including a seat that can be laid flat, and a guide structure on the seat. The guide structure includes at least a first annular guide portion exposed on the surface of the seat and a second guide portion that is concentric with and spaced apart from the first annular guide portion, and both the first annular guide portion and the second guide portion are arranged along the center of the seat.

[0011] As described above, in an electronic robot charging structure, the bottom of the base is provided with a plate, the support part is a connecting ring, the connecting ring is installed on the lower side of the plate to form an upwardly recessed space in the middle of the bottom surface of the base, and the first annular guide part, the second guide part and the third annular guide part are all provided at the lower end of the plate.

[0012] As described above, the electronic robot charging structure also includes a charging port on the base.

[0026] 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.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an electronic robot charging structure, including a flat base 2. The base 2 has a conductive structure, which is particularly designed for desktop electronic robots. The conductive structure is added to the base, which is mainly used to connect with the charging structure or charging contacts at the corresponding position, so that the product can conduct electricity immediately after being placed, thus facilitating charging without the need for additional wiring.

[0028] Specifically, the conductive structure includes at least a first annular conductive portion 51 exposed on the surface of the base 2 and a second conductive portion 52 concentrically and spaced apart from the first annular conductive portion 51, with both the first annular conductive portion 51 and the second conductive portion 52 arranged along the center of the base 2. To make the charging structure more convenient to use, the conductive structure is designed with a first annular conductive portion and a second conductive portion. The concentric arrangement of the first annular conductive portion and the second conductive portion allows for easier contact with the corresponding charging structure or charging contacts, eliminating the need for a specific placement angle and enabling immediate connection upon placement, thus making it more convenient for the user.

[0029] It is understandable that by setting the first annular conductive part, a conductive connection can be achieved as long as any position of the entire annular surface comes into contact with the contact point, thus not restricting the user's usage angle. Of course, the conductive contact needs to be set on, for example, a separate chassis. In this case, it is only necessary to limit the user to place the electronic robot on the chassis. The placement angle on the chassis is not restricted by the setting of the conductive structure, which makes it convenient for the user to place it in any orientation in the horizontal plane.

[0030] In one preferred embodiment, the second guide portion 52 is located at the bottom of the base 2. The first annular guide portion can be located in more positions, such as on the outer periphery of the base 2. The first annular guide portion and the second guide portion 52 are concentrically arranged, so that after the second guide portion 52 makes contact, the first annular guide portion can make contact with the corresponding contact pin.

[0031] To simplify the structure, the first annular guide portion 51 is located at the bottom of the base 2 and around the outer periphery of the second guide portion 52. This design concentrates both components at the bottom.

[0032] The second conductive part 52 of this solution can also be configured as a ring structure, that is, a concentric ring with the first ring-shaped conductive part 51, which can also achieve the above-mentioned effect of convenient connection and conductivity. Preferably, the second conductive part 52 is dot-shaped and located at the center of the bottom of the base 2. This is more conducive to forming an alignment reference when the user places it, that is, the center point can be placed opposite the center position of the contact foot, making the placement operation more convenient.

[0033] When used for electrical conduction, this design includes at least positive and negative electrode connections, thus comprising at least a first annular conductive portion 51 and a second conductive portion 52. To facilitate the connection of other signals, this design also includes a third annular conductive portion 53, which is located at the bottom of the base 2 and concentrically positioned between the first annular conductive portion 51 and the second conductive portion 52. It can be used for signal transmission or the connection of some components. This design employs the aforementioned concentric ring configuration for easy connection after placement.

[0034] In this design, the robot's base can also function as a standalone support, allowing users to detach the robot from the chassis for use. The guide structure is located at the bottom of the base 2. When used alone, the bottom of the base 2 contacts the support surface and the desktop base. To prevent friction and wear between the guide structure and the contact surface, the bottom of the base 2 also features a downwardly protruding support portion 28. This support portion 28 creates an upwardly recessed space at the bottom of the base 2. The first annular guide portion 51, the second guide portion 52, and the third annular guide portion 53 are all located within this upwardly recessed space. This recessed space separates the guide structure from the contact surface after placement, preventing direct contact and contamination or water damage.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the base 2 is provided with a plate 59, and the support part 28 is a connecting ring. The connecting ring is installed on the lower side of the plate 59 to form an upwardly recessed space in the middle of the bottom surface of the base 2. The first annular guide part 51, the second guide part 52, and the third annular guide part 53 are all provided at the lower end of the plate 59. Of course, the plate 59 can also be a circuit board, and the first annular guide part 51, the second guide part 52, and the third annular guide part 53 can be directly printed on its back, making the structure simpler. After installation, it is equivalent to the printed back side being exposed on the base.

[0036] This solution also retains the original charging method, and the base 2 is also equipped with a charging port 29. This charging port 29 can adopt Type-C, USB or other interfaces, giving users more options for use.

[0037] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the corresponding base of the charging structure in this solution is: including a mounting base 7, the mounting base 7 having a mounting cavity 701 on its upper side, the seat 2 can be directly installed into the mounting cavity 701, and the mounting base is used to install the corresponding robot, that is, the robot can be directly placed on the mounting base 7, or it can be taken out from the mounting base 7 for separate use.

[0038] This design allows the robot to make charging contacts via several tentacles during installation. The mounting base 7 contains several tentacles 71 protruding from the inner wall of the mounting cavity 701. These tentacles 71 form at least a first tentacle group 711 and a second tentacle group 712. The tentacles 71 forming the first tentacle group 711 are evenly distributed along a first circular trajectory, and the tentacles 71 forming the second tentacles group 712 are evenly distributed along a second circular trajectory. The centers of the second and first circular trajectories coincide with the center of the mounting cavity 701, and the tentacles 71 forming the first and second tentacles group 711 and the second tentacles group 712 are staggered. By dividing the tentacles into first and second tentacles, and staggering them within circular trajectories of different sizes, the robot can more easily contact the corresponding contacts after installation. Furthermore, the staggered distribution allows for a wider range of contact points with the robot's bottom, resulting in more stable support and preventing the robot from tipping over.

[0039] Furthermore, in this design, the first and second antennae groups are each distributed along a circular trajectory, which is equivalent to docking with the annular guide on the robot, allowing the robot to be placed without restricting its direction. This facilitates docking and contact with the antennae.

[0040] In this solution, in addition to being used for conduction, the structure can also be used to realize the conductive connection of data, control or components, so it also includes a third antenna 713, which is located at the center of the mounting cavity 701.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the second circular trajectory is larger than that of the first circular trajectory. By alternating the distribution of the first and second antennae groups—that is, multiple antennae from the first antennae group are on the same circular trajectory, and multiple antennae from the second antennae group are on another circular trajectory—but the antennae from the two groups are not collinear at least radially, the distribution within the same space is more dispersed and uniform. When in contact with the robot, multiple antennae jointly contact and support the bottom of the robot, maintaining balance and improving the stability of contact and charging.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the first antenna group 711 includes two antennas 71, which are equally spaced and positioned opposite each other on both sides of the third antenna 713. Similarly, the second antenna group 712 includes two antennas 71, which are equally spaced and positioned opposite each other on both sides of the third antenna 713. This makes the charging contact angles more concentrated, and considering the weight of the device, the charging stability is better. Moreover, preferably, the first antenna group 711 and the second antenna group 712 are arranged in a cross shape, together with the third antenna 713 in the middle, forming a five-point distribution. This can be understood as forming support points at the top, bottom, left, right, and center within the contact plane, thereby improving stability.

[0043] Moreover, considering ease of manufacturing, this distribution method is easier to mold compared to the arrangement of multiple antennae in a line. More specifically, the 5 antennae are equivalent to a 5-pin design, which can be designed as one for controlling the lighting effect, and the other 2 for VCC and 2 for GND, which can ensure high-current charging and make charging faster.

[0044] As a preferred, but not limiting, embodiment, the antenna 71 has a spring-loaded structure. This allows it to remain pressed against the bottom of the device when in contact with it, maintaining stable contact and preventing it from easily loosening.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, a platform 7011 protruding upwards is provided in the center of the mounting cavity 701, and several tentacles 71 extend from the platform 7011. It can be understood that the platform 7011 ensures that the multiple tentacles 71 extend to the same height after installation. Simultaneously, the platform 7011 can also achieve a positioning effect; for example, if the base of the device also has a flat surface, it only needs to be installed onto the platform 7011 during installation.

[0046] Furthermore, an annular mounting portion 7012 is provided within the mounting cavity 701 on the outer periphery of the platform 7011. As a structure for further alignment and installation, the center of the annular mounting portion 7012 coincides with the centers of the first antennal group, the second antennal group, and the third antenna. Of course, corresponding mounting portions can be embedded within the annular mounting portion 7012 on the device, thereby ensuring that the first antennal group, the second antennal group, and the third antenna are aligned and in contact with their corresponding positions, facilitating user placement. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the support portion 28 is embedded within the annular mounting portion 7012, thereby ensuring that the first antennal group, the second antennal group, and the third antenna are respectively aligned with the first annular guide portion 51, the third annular guide portion 53, and the second guide portion 52, facilitating user placement.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting base 7 serves as a charging base. It can be directly equipped with an electrical cable with a plug, or it can be separately designed with a pluggable structure, such as a plug interface 79 on the mounting base 7. The charging port 29 can adopt a Type-C, USB, or other plug interface, giving users more options for this solution.

[0048] This utility model also provides an electronic robot, including a body 1 connected to a base 2, wherein the base 2 is provided with the aforementioned electronic robot charging structure. Because it uses the same charging structure, this electronic robot also has the same beneficial effects.

[0049] This utility model provides an electronic robot charging structure, which adds a conductive structure to the base for placement. The conductive structure is mainly used to connect with the charging structure or charging contacts at the corresponding position, so that the product can conduct electricity immediately after being placed, thus facilitating charging without the need for additional wiring.

[0050] It should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in this utility model to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this utility model, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information. In addition, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0051] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
