[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, quadruped robots, through biomimetic quadrupedal locomotion, intelligent sensing, and multifunctional modular design, are changing the traditional patrol and security model, transforming from "auxiliary equipment" to "essential police force." In existing technology, current quadruped robots consist of a main body with a head and back, connected to each other. The head houses electronic components such as depth cameras or lidar. To protect the robot's head, a fall-absorbing mechanism is often installed, providing some protection against falls. However, this type of fall-absorbing mechanism often only provides cushioning and protection for the internal structure and electronic components of the quadruped robot, failing to protect the exposed sensors on the head. During a fall, these sensors are already damaged, resulting in poor protection for existing quadruped robots. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 This application provides a quadruped robot 100 with a protective device. The quadruped robot 100 is based on biomimetic quadrupedal movement, intelligent perception and multifunctional modular design.

[0045] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7In this embodiment, the quadruped robot 100 includes a robot body 10 and a first protective member 20. The robot body 10 has a head 11 and a back 12. The first protective member 20 is installed on the head 11 and is located on the outside of the head 11. The first protective member 20 includes a plurality of first brackets 21, which are connected to each other and enclose a first protective area of ​​the head 11. The first protective area is used to protect the head 11 and the first electronic component 112 connected to the head 11, so as to simultaneously protect the head 11 and the first electronic component 112 connected to the head 11, avoiding only protecting the head 11 without protecting the first electronic component 112, and improving the protective effect of the quadruped robot 100.

[0046] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-7 In this embodiment of the application, the robot body 10 is provided with a head 11 and a back 12; the head 11 is located on the front side of the back 12, and the head 11 and the back 12 are connected.

[0047] The first protective component 20 is installed on the head 11 and disposed on the outside of the head 11; so that the first protective component 20 can be fixed on the outside of the head 11. The first protective component 20 includes a plurality of first brackets 21, which are connected to each other and enclose to form a first protective area of ​​the head 11. The first protective area is used to protect the head 11 and the first electronic component 112 connected to the head 11, so as to simultaneously protect the head 11 and the first electronic component 112 connected to the head 11, avoiding only protecting the head 11 without protecting the first electronic component 112, and improving the protective effect of the quadruped robot 100.

[0048] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In embodiments 6 and 7 of this application, the head 11 includes a head body 111 and a first electronic component 112. The first electronic component 112 is connected to the head body 111 and exposed on the outside of the head body 111. This allows the first electronic component 112 to be fixed to the outside of the head body 111, thereby enabling it to sense the external environment. A first protective area is located on the outside of the head body 111 and the first electronic component 112. A first protective component 20 is used to protect the head body 111 and the first electronic component 112, preventing external obstacles from contacting them. This achieves simultaneous protection of both the head 11 and the first electronic component 112 connected to the head 11, avoiding protection only for the head 11 without protecting the first electronic component 112, thus improving the protective effect of the quadruped robot 100. When the quadruped robot 100 is in a fall-over state, the first protective component 20 absorbs energy and cushions the head 11 and the first electronic component 112 connected to the head 11. The first protective component 20 has a certain strength and toughness, which can not only play a protective role, but also absorb energy and cushion the impact.

[0049] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3 In embodiments of this application (6-7), the plurality of first brackets 21 include a first connecting bracket 211 and a first annular bracket 212; the first connecting bracket 211 is detachably connected to the bottom of the head body 111; so that the first connecting bracket 211 can be connected to or detached from the bottom of the head body 111, thereby facilitating the detachable connection of the plurality of first brackets 21 to the head body 111 through the first connecting bracket 211, improving the ease of replacement of the first protective component 20 and saving maintenance costs. Optionally, the first connecting bracket 211 is detachably connected to the bottom of the head body 111 by screws.

[0050] The first annular bracket 212 is connected to the first connecting bracket 211 and covers the top of the head body 111. The first annular bracket 212 is arranged along the outer contour of the top of the head body 111 so that the outer contour of the first annular bracket 212 is larger than the outer contour of the head body 111, thereby facilitating the expansion of the outer contour of the first protective area to achieve multi-angle protection.

[0051] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 6-7 In this embodiment of the application, the plurality of first supports 21 further includes a plurality of first arc-shaped supports 213, which are connected to the first annular support 212. The plurality of first arc-shaped supports 213 are arranged sequentially along the annular direction of the first annular support 212 and reinforce the first annular support 212; thereby improving the strength of the first annular support 212 and preventing the first annular support 212 from being easily deformed.

[0052] A first arc-shaped bracket 213 and a portion of a first annular bracket 212 enclose a protective area for the first electronic component 112, thus protecting the first electronic component 112. The first electronic component 112 does not exceed the protective area, so that the protective area protects the first electronic component 112, thereby achieving the protection of the first electronic component 112 by the first arc-shaped bracket 213 and a portion of the first annular bracket 212, and preventing the first electronic component 112 from being impacted by external obstacles.

[0053] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-3In embodiments 6-7 of this application, the head 11 further includes a second electronic component 113, which is disposed on the side wall of the head body 111. A protective area for the second electronic component 113 is formed between the first connecting bracket 211 and a portion of the first annular bracket 212, protecting the second electronic component 113. The second electronic component 113 does not extend beyond its protective area, ensuring that the protective area protects the second electronic component 113. This achieves the protection of the second electronic component 113 by the first connecting bracket 211 and a portion of the first annular bracket 212, preventing the second electronic component 113 from being impacted by external obstacles. This allows the first protective component 20 to simultaneously protect the head 11, the first electronic component 112, and the second electronic component 113.

[0054] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the quadruped robot 100 further includes a second protective member 30, which is installed on the back 12 and disposed on the outside of the back 12 so as to fix the second protective member 30 to the outside of the back 12. The second protective member 30 includes a back shell 31 and a second protective bracket 32, which forms a second protective area on the back. The second protective area is used to protect the back 12 and the third electronic component 121 connected to the back 12, so as to simultaneously protect the back 12 and the third electronic component 121 connected to the back 12, thereby further improving the protective effect of the quadruped robot 100.

[0055] A back cover 31 is mounted on the back 12 of the robot body 10, covering the back 12 of the robot body 10. This allows the back cover 31 to be fixed to the outside of the back 12 of the robot body 10, thus protecting the back 12 of the robot body 10. The back cover 31 is exposed to the third electronic component 121 connected to the back 12, enabling the third electronic component 121 to sense the external environment. A second protective bracket 32 ​​is located outside the back cover 31 and connected to it. The second protective bracket 32 ​​is also located outside the third electronic component 121 and protects it, preventing external obstacles from contacting both the back cover 31 and the third electronic component 121, thus simultaneously protecting both. The back 12 of the robot body 10 is doubly protected by the back cover 31 and the second protective bracket 32.

[0056] When the quadruped robot 100 is in a fall, the second protective component 30 absorbs energy and cushions the back 12 and the third electronic component 121 connected to the back 12. The second protective component 30 has a certain strength and toughness, which can not only play a protective role, but also absorb energy and cushion the fall.

[0057] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5In this embodiment, the second protective bracket 32 ​​is detachably connected to the back cover 31 and can be disassembled or assembled in the vertical direction, improving the ease of replacement of the second protective bracket 32. When the second protective bracket 32 ​​is deformed, only the second protective bracket 32 ​​needs to be replaced, saving maintenance costs. Optionally, the second protective bracket 32 ​​is detachably connected to the back cover 31 by screws.

[0058] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment, the second protective bracket 32 ​​includes a plurality of second connecting brackets 321 and a second annular bracket 322; the plurality of second connecting brackets 321 are detachably connected to the back shell 31 and extend along the outer side of the back shell 31; so that the plurality of second connecting brackets 321 can be connected to or detached from the back shell 31, thereby facilitating the second protective bracket 32 ​​to be detachably connected to the back shell 31 through the plurality of second connecting brackets 321, and improving the ease of replacement of the second protective bracket 32.

[0059] The second ring bracket 322 connects to multiple second connecting brackets 321 and is located on the outside of the back shell 31. The second ring bracket 322 extends beyond the back shell 31 in the horizontal direction so that the outer contour of the second ring bracket 322 is larger than the outer contour of the back shell 31, thereby facilitating the expansion of the outer contour of the second protective area of ​​the back 12 for multi-angle protection.

[0060] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the application, the back cover 31 is provided with a through hole 31a, which is used for the third electronic component 121 to pass through and expose the third electronic component 121; so that the back cover 31 can avoid the third electronic component 121 through the through hole 31a, thereby facilitating the third electronic component 121 to sense the external environment.

[0061] The second annular bracket 322 extends along the outer contour of the back shell 31 and has a gap between it and the outer side wall of the back shell 31, so that the second annular bracket 322 can block external obstacles from contacting the back shell 31, thereby facilitating the protection of the back shell 31 by the second annular bracket 322.

[0062] In this embodiment, the back cover 31 is connected to an electrical control box, which is electrically connected to the first electronic component 112, the second electronic component 113, and the third electronic component 121, so that the electrical control box can control the opening and closing of the first electronic component 112, the second electronic component 113, and the third electronic component 121. Optionally, the first electronic component 112, the second electronic component 113, and the third electronic component 121 are respectively one of a laser rangefinder, a surround-view camera, a lidar, and a marker light.
