[0002] With the widespread application of robotics technology, the performance requirements for robots are also increasing. In robot design, end caps, as important components protecting the internal electrical components, have become particularly crucial in terms of function and design.

[0003] Traditional robot end cap designs often prioritize sealing and structural strength, neglecting the importance of heat dissipation and dust prevention. As robots operate for extended periods, internal electrical components generate significant heat; poor heat dissipation can easily lead to overheating and damage. Furthermore, dust and other impurities entering the robot can also disrupt its normal operation.

[0004] To address these issues, a new type of end cap for robots has emerged in recent years. This end cap not only possesses the sealing and structural strength of traditional end caps but also incorporates a dust filter design. The dust filter effectively prevents dust and other impurities from entering the robot's interior, protecting electrical components from damage. However, existing dust filter installation and removal mechanisms are cumbersome and inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-5 A robot end cap includes an end cap body 1, an end cap body 1 with mounting holes 2, two mounting cylinders 4 fixedly mounted on the end cap body 1, an opening between the two mounting cylinders 4, the design of which aims to improve air circulation to assist in the effective heat dissipation of the robot's internal electrical components, a dust filter 3 located at the opening between the two mounting cylinders 4, the introduction of the dust filter 3 effectively blocks the intrusion of external dust and impurities, providing a protective barrier for the robot's internal electrical components, mounting blocks 6 are provided on both outer walls of the dust filter 3, two mounting blocks 6 are provided with symmetrically arranged second through holes 14, and two mounting cylinders 4 are provided with a disassembly mechanism;

[0023] The disassembly mechanism includes a hollow rotating shaft 10 on the top of the mounting cylinder 4, which is rotatably connected. A round block 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hollow rotating shaft 10. Two second sliding grooves 16 are symmetrically arranged on the round block 12. A sliding rod 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of each of the two second sliding grooves 16. First through holes 13 are opened on both outer walls of the mounting cylinder 4. Insert rods 17 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the two sliding rods 11 that are far apart from each other. A threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected to the top of the mounting cylinder 4. The threaded rod 7 is located at the top of the mounting cylinder 4. One end of the mounting cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to a round rod 9 located inside a hollow rotating shaft 10. A knob 5 is fixedly installed outside the mounting cylinder 4 at the end of the threaded rod 7 located outside the mounting cylinder 4. A first sliding groove 15 is formed on the outer wall of the round rod 9, and a slider 8 is formed on the outer wall of the hollow rotating shaft 10. The mounting block 6 is adapted to the mounting cylinder 4. The first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14 are of the same size. The insertion rod 17 is adapted to both the first through hole 13 and the second through hole 14. The second sliding groove 16 is arc-shaped, and both sliding rods 11 are slidably connected to the inner bottom of the mounting cylinder 4. The first sliding groove 15 is spiral-shaped. Two guide grooves 19 are formed on the round rod 9. Two guide rods 18 are fixedly installed on the inner top of the mounting cylinder 4. The two guide rods 18 are distributed within the two guide grooves 19 and are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two guide grooves 19 respectively. Through the cooperation of the guide rods 18 and the guide grooves 19, the user can simply turn the knob 5 to drive the threaded rod 7 to rotate, thereby causing the round rod 9 to move up and down.

[0024] Through a series of design and innovations, this design not only improves the heat dissipation and dustproof performance of the robot end cap, but also greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly process of the dust filter 3, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation and efficient maintenance of the robot.

[0025] In use, the end cap body 1 is installed and fixed through the mounting hole 2, so that the two mounting blocks 6 on the dust filter 3 cooperate with the two mounting cylinders 4 respectively. By turning the knob 5, the threaded rod 7 can be rotated. Since the threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the round bar 9 and the round bar 9 is guided by the guide rod 18 and the guide groove 19 to prevent it from rotating, the round bar 9 can move up or down. When the round bar 9 moves down, the slider 8 will slide in the spiral first sliding groove 15, which will cause the hollow rotating shaft 10 to rotate. This will cause the round block 12 to rotate clockwise, and the sliding rod 11 will slide in the arc-shaped second sliding groove 16. The two sliding rods 11 will move closer to each other, which will cause the two insert rods 17 to move closer to each other. Finally, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the close-to-each-other insertion rods 17 will be inserted into the two second through holes 14 respectively, thus achieving the installation and fixation of the dust filter 3. Since there is an opening between the two mounting cylinders 4 on the end cap body 1 and a dust filter 3 is provided at the opening, it can assist the internal electrical components of the robot in heat dissipation, achieve dust prevention, and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] When the round bar 9 moves upward, the slider 8 slides within the spiral-shaped first sliding groove 15, thereby causing the hollow rotating shaft 10 to rotate, which in turn causes the round block 12 to move along the attached... Figure 3 The state is rotated counterclockwise, which allows the sliding rod 11 to slide in the arc-shaped second sliding groove 16. The two sliding rods 11 move closer to each other, which in turn causes the two insert rods 17 to move closer to each other. The insert rods 17 that move closer to each other will move away from the two second through holes 14 respectively. Then, the mounting block 6 on the dust filter 3 will not cooperate with the mounting cylinder 4, thereby enabling the dust filter 3 to be disassembled, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the dust filter 3.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
