[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] To better understand the explanation robot provided in this embodiment, we will first give a brief introduction to existing explanation devices. Existing science popularization explanations mainly use voice broadcasting or interactive display screens. Audiences can play the voice by touching the display screen or pressing the explanation button. The touch method involves adding a touchable display screen, but this device is prone to damage and has high purchase and maintenance costs. The voice button is easily overlooked. Generally, science popularization venues are mostly frequented by children and teenagers, and common explanation devices have limited functions and cannot meet the requirements of the audience.
[0031] Example 1, refer to Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated explanation robot includes:
[0032] The torso part 1 includes a torso and limbs, wherein the torso is elastically configured. Specifically, the torso includes an upper limb mounting frame 11 and a lower limb mounting frame 13, with a strong spring between the upper limb mounting frame 11 and the lower limb mounting frame 13. The elastic part uses a strong spring as a support. This configuration is because the existing bionic robot torso adopts an integrated design, which may cause structural damage when subjected to external thrust for a long time. When the body, especially the torso, is subjected to force, the upper limb mounting frame 11 and the lower limb mounting frame 13 can swing to relieve the force.
[0033] There is a risk of tipping over upon impact. To ensure the robot's stability and safety within the installation area, the bottom of the lower leg component 16 is designed as a cow hoof plate 17. The cow hoof plate 17 is shaped like a cow's hoof, a biomimetic design that makes the overall appearance of the robot more in line with children's aesthetic views and standards. The cow hoof plate 17 has pre-drilled fixing holes. Depending on the actual installation needs, holes can be drilled in the installation area, and expansion cement nails can be installed in the fixing holes and drilled holes to stably install the entire robot.
[0034] It is important to note that the upper limb joint includes an upper limb mounting bracket 11, and the outer end of the upper limb mounting bracket 11 is threadedly connected to an arm joint 12 via a threaded rod 19. The lower limb joint includes a lower limb mounting bracket 13, and the outer end of the lower limb mounting bracket 13 is threadedly connected to a thigh component 14 via a threaded rod 19. The bottom of the thigh component 14 is fixedly connected to a lower leg component 16, and the lower leg component 16 has a pre-drilled mounting hole.
[0035] The top of the hoof plate 17 is provided with a threaded mounting sleeve 18, so that the lower leg component 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded mounting sleeve 18, making assembly more convenient.
[0036] In the specific implementation of this embodiment, the hoof plate 17 is first threaded to the bottom end of the lower leg component 16 and then fixed. After fixing, the thigh component 14 is fixed to the torso part by the threaded rod 19, and then the arm joint 12 is fixed by the threaded rod 19. In this way, the torso part 1 can be fixed. This design method has a simple mechanical structure, is easy to install, is easier to repair if damaged, and has a lower cost. This design skeleton has a mechanical aesthetic.
[0037] In the above embodiment, it also includes a joint knee positioning component 15, and a lower limb armor 4 is fitted onto the lower leg component 16. The lower limb armor 4 abuts between the hoof plate 17 and the joint knee positioning component 15. When installing the lower limb armor 4, it can be directly fitted onto the lower leg component 16. After docking with the joint knee positioning component 15 and forming a tight contact, the hoof plate 17 is threaded to the bottom end of the lower leg component 16. After rotation, the hoof plate 17 contacts the bottom of the lower limb armor 4, thus fixing the lower limb armor 4 tightly. The lower limb armor 4 is made of silicone material and decorated with plastic parts on the surface. The plastic parts are customized according to the surface coating requirements of the robot. Since the hoof plate 17 is shaped like a cow's hoof, a biomimetic design is adopted. The overall outline of the foot 41 of the lower limb armor 4 is set to resemble a cow's foot, which increases the vividness of the lower limb armor 4.
[0038] Example 2, based on Example 1, refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes an armor section, which includes a torso armor piece 3, an upper limb armor piece 8, and a lower limb armor piece 4. The torso armor piece 3 is detachably mounted on the torso, and the upper limb armor piece 8 and the lower limb armor piece 4 are detachably connected to the upper limb joints and lower limb joints of the limbs, respectively.
[0039] The body armor 3 is a splicing piece shaped like a bee's body. The body armor 3 includes an internal silicone part 33. The internal silicone part 33 is provided with a chest shell 31, a rib shell 34 and a lower abdominal shell 35 from top to bottom. The chest shell 31 is located at the arm joint 12 and has a reserved mounting port for installing the upper silicone protective sleeve 32. The lower abdominal shell 35 is located at the thigh part 14 and has a reserved mounting port for installing the lower silicone protective sleeve 36.
[0040] The chest shell 31, the rib shell 34, and the lower abdominal shell 35 all include front and rear mounting shells. The front mounting shell includes a clamping strip 37 and a clamping rod 38. The inner wall edge of the rear mounting shell is provided with a groove for clamping the clamping strip 37. The inner wall of the rear mounting shell is also provided with a sleeve for fixing the clamping rod 38. The clamping strip 37 and the groove are formed during the injection molding of the front and rear shells (chest shell 31, rib shell 34, and lower abdominal shell 35).
[0041] When installing the armor, the built-in silicone part 33, the upper silicone protective sleeve 32, and the lower silicone protective sleeve 36 are integrally formed. After the built-in silicone part 33 is fitted onto the torso, the front chest shell 31, rib shell 34, and lower abdominal shell 35 are aligned with the rear chest shell 31, rib shell 34, and lower abdominal shell 35, so that the locking strip 37 is locked in the slot. Then, the locking rod 38 is passed through the perforations on the upper limb mounting bracket 11 and the lower limb mounting bracket 13 and locked with the locking sleeves on the rear chest shell 31, rib shell 34, and lower abdominal shell 35. This completes the installation of the armor.
[0042] In addition, gaps are reserved between the thoracic shell 31, the rib shell 34 and the lower abdominal shell 35.
[0043] When the robot is subjected to an external collision, the upper limb mounting frame 11 and the lower limb mounting frame 13 shake through a strong spring. This causes the chest shell 31, rib shell 34 and lower abdominal shell 35 to shake on the built-in silicone part 33. The chest shell 31, rib shell 34 and lower abdominal shell 35 form a bee wriggling on its abdomen, which is vivid and lifelike. Moreover, the built-in silicone part 33 has plasticity and reset function, which can buffer pressure.
[0044] It is important to note that the upper limb armor piece 8 and the lower limb armor piece 4, such as Figure 1 As shown, they all exhibit a cone-like shape with a design that gradually thickens from top to bottom, while the upper limb armor piece 8 has a spherical design at the connection point with the palm. It has a very animated feel.
[0045] Example 3, based on Example 1, focuses on referring to... Figure 1 It also includes a smart head 2, which can swing horizontally and vertically on the top of the body part 1. The smart head 2 includes a head shell 21, a fixed decorative shell 23 is provided in the middle of the top of the head shell 21, and spliced decorative shells 24 are provided on both sides of the top of the head shell 21. It also includes ear decorations 22, which are disc-shaped and fixedly connected to both sides of the head shell 21.
[0046] It should be further explained that the top of the upper limb mounting frame 11 is provided with a motor base for fixing the first angle motor 6, and the output end of the first angle motor 6 is provided with a platform for mounting the second angle motor 7. The up and down swing of the smart head 2 is controlled by the second angle motor 7, and the output end of the second angle motor 7 is provided with a mounting head frame for fixing the entire head shell 21.
[0047] In the above embodiment, the surface of the splicing decorative shell 24 is set as a flexible display screen, or it can be a transparent acrylic sheet, with LED beads installed inside; either design is acceptable. The smart head 2 contains a controller, and the sensing finger 9, flexible display screen, and controller are electrically connected. It also includes a switch button 5 located on the back of the body armor 3. The sensing finger 9 is also included, located at the end of the upper limb armor 8. The controller stores the explanatory content, which is prior art.
[0048] It should be explained that the sensing finger 9 uses a capacitive touch chip or touch sensor, integrated into the conductive contact plate inside or on the surface of the robot's finger shell; the control unit is based on an MCU, which receives touch signals and executes preset logic; it stores light color sequences, such as red, green, blue, and seven-color gradients, and controls PWM to drive RGB LEDs. In order to make the whole robot more vivid, the display screen on the surface of the splicing decorative shell 24 can be adjusted to meet aesthetic requirements. The surfaces of the chest shell 31, rib shell 34, and lower abdomen shell 35 can also be display screens that display colors, so that the colors can be controlled synchronously. Since the shape of the body armor 3 is set to the shape of a bee's body, it can better imitate the shape of a bee and has a better bionic effect. Color control and voice explanation are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here. Moreover, the first angle motor 6 and the second angle motor 7 are also controlled by the control unit, which is also existing technology.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
