[0002] A robot is an intelligent machine capable of semi-autonomous or fully autonomous operation. During movement, the robot needs real-time positioning to determine its location, guide its movement, and avoid obstacles. However, in practical use, robots are not flexible enough; the positioning mechanisms are difficult to maintain and replace, making them inconvenient to use.
[0003] In the existing technology, the outer shell is locked by a positioning rod and a plug. After the locking is released, the outer shell is rotated in the opposite direction to remove the shell containing the UWB module. In this method, the protection and fixation of the outer shell and its internal UWB module are poor. It is impossible to achieve both sealing protection and fixation, which increases the installation burden on the staff and reduces the stability of the UWB module when it moves with the robot.

A through-hole is provided on the sealing door, which communicates with the inside of the inner cavity after the sealing door moves. An airbag is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing door. An inflation tube connects the inflation chamber and the airbag. The bottom of the airbag abuts against the top of the mounting frame.
[0009] Preferably, the compression spring is initially in a compressed state, causing the portion of the sealing door above the airbag to block the inner cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] The robot body 1 is provided with an inner cavity 2, and the inner cavity 2 is provided with a mounting frame 3 at the bottom, and the mounting frame 3 is provided with a UWB positioning tag 4.
[0025] UWB is the abbreviation of Ultra-Wideband, that is, the ultra-wideband technology. The UWB positioning tag 4 cooperates with the deployed UWB base station. The UWB positioning tag 4 emits an ultra-wideband pulse signal when working. Multiple UWB base stations work cooperatively. By measuring the time difference of the signal arriving at different base stations, combining the known base station position information, and using a specific algorithm to calculate the accurate position of the tag, the robot can be positioned and guided to act without a border reference.
[0026] The fixing mechanism comprises a sealing door 7, and the inner cavity 2 is communicated with a sliding groove 5 on both sides. The same sealing door 7 is slidably connected in the two sliding grooves 5. The extrusion spring 6 is fixedly connected between the sealing door 7 and the inside of the sliding groove 5 on one side. The other side is surrounded by the inside of the other sliding groove 5 to form a sealed inflation cavity 10. The communication port 8 is formed through the sealing door 7. The communication port 8 is communicated with the inside of the inner cavity 2 after the sealing door 7 moves. The air bag 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing door 7. The inflation pipe 11 is communicated between the inflation cavity 10 and the air bag 9. The air bag 9 is abutted against the top of the mounting frame 3.
[0027] The internal space of the sliding groove 5 communicated with the extrusion spring 6 is larger than the internal space of the other sliding groove 5, so as to conveniently accommodate the air bag 9.
[0028] The extrusion spring 6 is in an initial compressed state, and the part of the sealing door 7 located above the air bag 9 blocks the inner cavity 2.
[0029] When the UWB positioning tag 4 is installed, the sealing door 7 is pulled open, the communication port 8 of the sealing door 7 is communicated with the inner cavity 2, the mounting frame 3 with the installed UWB positioning tag 4 is clamped to the inside of the inner cavity 2, the sealing door 7 is loosened, and under the elastic force of the compression spring 6, the sealing door 7 is reset to block the inner cavity 2. During the movement of the sealing door 7, the inflation cavity 10 is continuously compressed, the air in the inflation cavity 10 is pressed into the air bag 9 through the inflation pipe 11, the air bag 9 moves to the top of the mounting frame 3 with the sealing door 7, and after inflation, the air bag 9 expands to form a wrapping and compression fixing effect on the top of the mounting frame 3, thereby improving the stability of the mounting frame 3 when moving with the robot body 1.
[0030] When the UWB positioning tag 4 needs to be disassembled, the sealing door 7 is pulled open again, the communication port 8 is communicated with the inner cavity 2, and the air bag 9 is retracted into the sliding groove 5, thereby facilitating the removal of the mounting frame 3 and the UWB positioning tag 4.
[0031] The air bag 9 is communicated with an exhaust pipe 13, the exhaust pipe 13 is provided with a pressure relief valve 14, and the output end of the pressure relief valve 14 is communicated with the inside of the inner cavity 2.
[0032] Through the pressure relief valve 14, the air bag 9 is effectively prevented from over-inflating, the air bag 9, the mounting frame 3 and the UWB positioning tag 4 are prevented from being damaged, the protection effect of the UWB positioning tag 4 is improved, and the air bag 9 is prevented from over-expanding and being separated from the mounting frame 3 and being stored in the sliding groove 5.

[0034] When the sealing door 7 is pulled open, the space inside the inflation cavity 10 increases, the air pressure decreases, and the outside air is sucked into the inflation cavity 10 through the air inlet 16. When the sealing door 7 is reset, the space inside the inflation cavity 10 decreases, the air pressure increases, and under the limitation of the air inlet valve 17, the air in the inflation cavity 10 is discharged through the inflation pipe 11 to inflate the air bag 9. During the repeated opening and resetting of the sealing door 7, the air bag 9 is repeatedly inflated, and the air loss in the air bag 9 is effectively prevented to affect its working effect.
[0035] The inflation pipe 11 is provided with an inflation valve 12, the inflation valve 12 is a one-way valve, and the one-way valve is directed from the inflation cavity 10 to the air bag 9.
[0036] After the air is filled into the air bag 9 through the inflation pipe 11, the air in the air bag 9 is prevented from flowing back through the inflation pipe 11 through the limitation of the inflation valve 12, the stability of the air in the air bag 9 is ensured, and the stability of the air bag 9 during work is improved.
