DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The embodiments of the utility model are described below through specific examples, and the person skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the utility model from the content disclosed in the specification. The utility model can also be implemented or applied through different specific embodiments, and the details in the specification can be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the utility model.

[0020] Traditional robot mechanical structure design usually arranges the electrical control part centrally, resulting in complex wiring, poor heat dissipation, difficult maintenance, and being easily affected by electromagnetic interference. In addition, the traditional design is difficult to balance between the rigidity and lightweight of the mechanical structure, affecting the motion performance of the robot.

[0021] To solve this problem, please refer to Figures 1-3 A layered and regional plate type mechanical structure for medium-sized robots, comprising: an upper structure 1, a middle structure 2, and a lower structure 3;

[0022] The upper structure 1 comprises a top plate 101 and a visual sensor 102, the top plate 101 is arranged above the middle structure 2, and the visual sensor 102 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the top plate 101;

[0023] The middle structure 2 comprises a middle plate 201, a ball control mechanism 202, a ball hitting mechanism 203, a control mechanism 204, and a power management mechanism 205, the ball control mechanism 202 and the ball hitting mechanism 203, the control mechanism 204 and the power management mechanism 205 are arranged on the surface of the middle plate 201, and the middle plate 201 is arranged above the lower structure 3;

[0024] The lower structure 3 comprises a bottom plate 301, three groups of moving mechanisms 302, two groups of power supplies 303, and a motion control module 304, three groups of moving mechanisms 302 and two groups of power supplies 303 are arranged on the surface of the bottom plate 301, and the motion control module 304 is arranged on the upper surface of the moving mechanism 302.

[0025] In use, the visual sensor 102 of the upper structure 1 is a panoramic camera, which collects real-time images of the environment of the site through a wide-angle lens, and identifies the ball, teammates, opponents and the boundary of the site through image processing algorithms. After receiving the image data, the microcomputer host 103 generates movement instructions through a path planning algorithm, and transmits the instructions to the movement control module 304 of the lower structure 3 through the RS485 bus. The visual module built-in the visual sensor 102 provides environmental input for the decision-making core. After the host completes the calculation, the movement control module 304 is triggered to execute the action, forming a "perception-decision-execution" closed loop. The integrated inertia detection unit and infrared distance measurement module built-in the control mechanism 204 of the middle structure 2 upload the attitude and distance data to the host through the IIC protocol. The host fuses multi-sensor data to correct the movement trajectory deviation. Through the hardware interrupt signal of the emergency stop switch, the power supply circuit of the DC servo motor 3021 of the lower structure 3 is directly cut off, ensuring that the robot stops immediately in an emergency. At the same time, an interrupt signal is sent to the microcomputer host 103 to pause the current task and enter the safety mode. After receiving the instructions from the microcomputer host 103, the movement control module 304 of the lower structure 3 controls the DC servo motor 3021 through the Canopen signal to drive the DC servo motor 3021 to realize wheeled movement. The encoder feedbacks the speed of the DC servo motor 3021 to the driver to form a closed loop control. The battery pack is controlled for charging and discharging by the power management mechanism 205. The BMS chip built-in the power management mechanism 205 provides 12V / 5V / 3.3V voltage for each component of the upper, middle and lower structures. The module monitors the current and voltage state in real time and feeds back an alarm signal to the host through the I2C protocol when an abnormality occurs.
