Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of legged robot technology, specifically to the anti-slip sole of a legged robot. Background Technology

[0002] Legged robots are biomimetic robots that walk similarly to animals, relying primarily on the contact between their feet and the ground for support. Currently, legged robots often use rubber materials with anti-slip and wear-resistant properties. Legged robots are mainly used in entertainment, inspection, and outdoor human-robot collaboration scenarios; therefore, the stability of their movement is particularly important. While current foot designs offer sufficient stability in simple indoor or outdoor environments, they have the following shortcomings for complex outdoor environments:

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN220076528U discloses a shock-absorbing foot pad, which is mainly designed to effectively alleviate the forces exerted on the body and feet during movement, thus playing a shock-absorbing role. Meanwhile, Chinese patent CN219257561U discloses a foot structure for a quadruped robot, proposing a foot sole that offers excellent cushioning while also providing support and cushioning, resulting in a more wear-resistant and durable design.

[0004] However, none of the publicly disclosed information has made any targeted improvements to the anti-slip design for robots walking in the wild. Existing legged robots have poor anti-slip performance on icy and snowy surfaces, which makes it difficult to maintain stable walking. Furthermore, the existing foot structure has low friction when climbing complex or steep slopes, making it difficult to support the robot to climb steadily and complete tasks in complex environments.

[0005] In response, this technical solution proposes an anti-slip foot for legged robots. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an anti-slip foot for a legged robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-slip foot for a legged robot, comprising a base layer and a foot mounting base. The side of the base layer is configured as a curved structure with a fan-shaped columnar cross-section. An inner liner plate with the same curvature is embedded inside the base layer. The base layer is detachably connected to the foot mounting base by a snap-fit ​​fixing structure. Multiple sets of evenly distributed anti-slip studs are detachably installed on the inner liner plate.

[0008] Preferably, the base layer is made of rubber substrate, the inner liner is made of stainless steel plate, and the thickness of the inner liner is set to 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the total thickness of the base layer.

[0009] Preferably, the orientation, length, and structural shape of the anti-slip studs are adjustable.

[0010] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​fixing structure includes snap-fit ​​fixing grooves formed on both sides of the base layer, and the foot mounting seat is provided with a mounting seat snap-fit ​​fixing groove at the position corresponding to the snap-fit ​​fixing groove, and the mounting seat snap-fit ​​fixing groove and the snap-fit ​​fixing groove are connected by a fixing snap.

[0011] Preferably, the contact surface between the base layer and the foot mounting base is provided with a limiting boss, and the foot mounting base is provided with a limiting groove at the position corresponding to the limiting boss, and the limiting boss and the limiting groove are designed to cooperate.

[0012] Preferably, the base layer has shock-absorbing holes inside, which are configured as a porous honeycomb array structure and are evenly distributed around the stainless steel.

[0013] Preferably, the inner lining plate corresponding to the bottom of the anti-slip nail has anti-slip nail fixing holes, and the bottom of the anti-slip nail is threadedly connected to the anti-slip nail fixing holes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by embedding several anti-slip studs of different orientations, lengths and configurations on the sole surface, the anti-slip studs' ability to penetrate icy and snowy roads and soft slopes ensures that the sole has sufficient grip, thereby ensuring the mobility of the legged robot.

[0015] By embedding a single steel plate into the base layer of the sole, and setting anti-slip nail mounting holes on the steel plate, the problem of anti-slip nails not easily falling off and tipping over is ensured.

[0016] By making the anti-skid studs detachable, it is easy to remove them after they wear out, and different types of anti-skid studs can be replaced for different road surfaces;

[0017] To ensure sufficient shock absorption, shock-absorbing holes are made in the base layer of the sole, so that the anti-slip studs can provide maximum protection when the anti-slip sole is subjected to large impacts during exercise. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 The anti-slip foot of the legged robot includes a base layer 1 and a foot mounting base 4. The side of the base layer 1 is set as a curved structure, and its cross-section is a fan-shaped column. The base layer 1 is made of rubber substrate. An inner liner plate 2 with the same curvature is embedded inside the base layer 1. By making the curvature of the inner liner plate 2 consistent with that of the base layer 1, the thickness of the outer surface of the base layer 1 can be ensured to be uniform at all points. The base layer 1 is detachably connected to the foot mounting base 4 by a snap-fit ​​fixing structure. Multiple sets of evenly distributed anti-slip nails 3 are detachably installed on the inner liner plate 2 to increase the contact friction between the base layer 1 and the ground.

[0028] The thickness of the inner lining plate 2 is set to 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the total thickness of the base layer 1, in order to balance the support strength and flexible buffer.

[0029] The inner lining plate 2 is made of stainless steel, and multiple sets of evenly distributed anti-slip studs 3 are detachably installed on the inner lining plate 2.

[0030] The orientation, length, and structural shape of the anti-skid studs can be adjusted according to the type of road surface. For example, long conical studs are used on icy and snowy roads, while short spiral studs are used on muddy roads.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the snap-fit ​​structure includes snap-fit ​​grooves 9 opened on both sides of the base layer 1, and a mounting seat snap-fit ​​groove is opened at the position of the foot mounting seat 4 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​grooves 9. The mounting seat snap-fit ​​groove and the snap-fit ​​groove 9 are connected by a snap-fit ​​8, thereby realizing a quick installation and removal connection between the base layer 1 and the foot mounting seat 4.

[0032] A limiting boss 5 is provided on the contact surface between the base layer 1 and the foot mounting base 4. A limiting groove 7 is provided on the foot mounting base 4 at the position corresponding to the limiting boss 5. The cooperation between the limiting boss 5 and the limiting groove is used to prevent the foot from lateral displacement.

[0033] Specifically, the base layer 1 has shock-absorbing holes 6 inside to absorb the impact force of movement. The shape of the shock-absorbing holes 6 can be set as a porous honeycomb array structure and evenly distributed around the inner liner plate 2.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, an anti-slip nail fixing hole 10 is installed on the inner lining plate 2 corresponding to the bottom of the anti-slip nail 3, and the bottom of the anti-slip nail 3 is threadedly connected to the anti-slip nail fixing hole 10 to ensure that the anti-slip nail 3 has the ability to be replaced.

[0035] The specific installation and usage process is as follows: The inner lining plate 2 is pre-embedded into the base layer 1 and molded; the anti-slip nail 3 is screwed into the anti-slip nail fixing hole 10.

[0036] The base layer 1 is locked to the foot mounting base 4 by the fixing buckle 8, and the limiting boss 5 is embedded in the limiting groove 7 to prevent lateral slippage;

[0037] Working process: When the robot moves, the anti-slip nails 3 penetrate the ground to provide grip, the shock-absorbing holes 6 absorb the impact, and the inner lining plate 2 ensures that the nails are subjected to vertical force.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
