Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of robotics, and more particularly to a mobile monitoring robot that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of technology, mobile monitoring robots are widely used in real-time monitoring and data acquisition tasks in various environments. Mobile monitoring robots typically include multiple electronic components, such as control chips, battery cells, and sensors, which generate a significant amount of heat during operation. To ensure the robot's normal operating performance, heat dissipation has always been a crucial aspect to consider during the design process. Traditional mobile monitoring robot heat dissipation designs typically address overheating issues by dispersing components and installing multiple ventilation holes. However, this approach increases design complexity to some extent and makes it difficult to effectively concentrate and dissipate heat.

[0003] Currently, mobile monitoring robots typically employ a distributed electronic component design and utilize various heat dissipation methods to control internal temperatures. For example, some designs place the control chip and battery in different locations within the robot, using multiple ventilation holes to aid heat dissipation. Additionally, some utilize fans or liquid cooling systems to promote heat dissipation and ensure the robot's internal temperature does not become excessively high. While these existing heat dissipation solutions achieve some degree of heat dispersion, they still suffer from uneven heat dissipation and large space requirements.

[0004] In existing technologies, the dispersed layout of electronic components and complex heat dissipation methods fail to effectively concentrate heat dissipation. Since control chips and batteries are often placed in different locations, their heat dissipation is often unsatisfactory. The placement of multiple heat dissipation holes increases the size and space occupied by the device, which is particularly inconvenient in the design of mobile monitoring robots that require compressed internal space. Furthermore, dispersed heat dissipation channels also result in longer heat flow paths, affecting heat dissipation efficiency. Therefore, existing technologies have limitations in terms of both heat dissipation performance and space compression, making it difficult to meet the demands of modern mobile monitoring robots for efficient heat dissipation and compact design.

[0030] Embodiments of this application provide a mobile monitoring robot with convenient heat dissipation, comprising:

[0031] The casing has a first heat dissipation hole that extends horizontally through it;

[0032] A connecting structure is disposed within the housing. In the vertical direction, a control chip and a battery cell are fixed sequentially at both ends of the connecting structure. The battery cell is electrically connected to the control chip. The connecting structure has a heat dissipation channel that extends horizontally and is directly opposite the first heat dissipation hole. The heating ends of the control chip and the battery cell are connected to the heat dissipation channel, and the heating ends of the control chip and the battery cell can heat the air in the heat dissipation channel so that it flows out towards the first heat dissipation hole.

[0033] The aforementioned mobile monitoring robot with improved heat dissipation design utilizes a connection structure that allows the control chip and battery to be centrally cooled through a continuous heat dissipation channel. This channel connects to the first heat dissipation hole, and by optimizing the heat dissipation path, it can concentrate heat away from the device while reducing the space occupied by components, achieving a more efficient heat dissipation effect. The advantage of this invention lies in effectively reducing the space occupied by internal components, improving heat dissipation efficiency, and avoiding the problems of uneven heat dissipation and space waste caused by the dispersed layout in the prior art.

[0034] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 This application provides an embodiment of a mobile monitoring robot 100 that facilitates heat dissipation, comprising:

[0036] The housing 1 has a first heat dissipation hole 2 that extends horizontally through it;

[0037] A connecting structure 3 is disposed inside the housing 1. In the vertical direction, a control chip 4 and a battery cell 5 are fixed to both ends of the connecting structure 3 in sequence. The battery cell 5 is electrically connected to the control chip 4. The connecting structure 3 has a heat dissipation channel 6 that runs through it in the horizontal direction. The heat dissipation channel 6 is directly opposite the first heat dissipation hole 2. The heating ends of the control chip 4 and the battery cell 5 are connected to the heat dissipation channel 6. The heating ends of the control chip 4 and the battery cell 5 can heat the air in the heat dissipation channel 6 and make it flow out towards the first heat dissipation hole 2.

[0038] Specifically, the mobile monitoring robot of this application consists of a housing 1, heat dissipation holes, a connecting structure 3, a control chip 4, a battery cell 5, and a heat dissipation channel 6. The connecting structure 3 vertically fixes the control chip 4 and the battery cell 5, and has a heat dissipation channel 6 on it, ensuring that the heat-generating ends of the control chip 4 and the battery cell 5 are connected to the heat dissipation channel 6. Through this structure, the heat generated by the control chip 4 and the battery cell 5 during operation can be effectively transferred to the heat dissipation channel 6 and push airflow towards the first heat dissipation hole 2 for exhaust. The rational layout of the connecting structure 3 and the heat dissipation channel 6 optimizes the internal space of the device, avoids uneven heat dissipation caused by the dispersed component layout in traditional designs, and reduces the risk of heat accumulation. This centralized heat dissipation method can more efficiently dissipate the heat generated by the control chip 4 and the battery cell 5, improving the robot's heat dissipation capacity during long-term operation. Especially when the robot needs to operate in enclosed or confined spaces, this design can effectively compress the internal space, occupy less volume, and ensure efficient and stable operation of the device, improving the robot's adaptability and durability in complex environments.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, viewed along the vertical direction, the control chip 4 has a single-panel structure, which has a control end facing the housing 1 and a heat-generating end facing the heat dissipation channel 6. During the operation of the control chip 4, the heat-generating end of the control chip 4 can generate heat in a concentrated manner and exchange heat with the air in the heat dissipation channel 6.

[0040] Specifically, the control chip 4 adopts a single-sided panel structure, with its control end facing the housing 1 and its heat-generating end facing the heat dissipation channel 6. The advantage of the single-sided panel design is that the chip's heat is concentrated and effectively exchanged with the air within the heat dissipation channel 6, improving heat dissipation efficiency. Direct contact between the chip and the heat dissipation channel 6 via the panel enhances heat transfer efficiency, thus better preventing performance loss due to overheating. By optimizing the heat dissipation path, heat can be rapidly transferred from the chip's heat-generating end to the heat dissipation channel 6, and then quickly dissipated through the heat dissipation holes, maintaining the stable operation of the control chip 4. This design not only improves the chip's lifespan and stability but also prevents circuit failures or performance degradation due to excessive temperature. Compared to traditional chip structures, the single-sided panel design achieves more efficient heat dissipation within a limited space, making it particularly suitable for equipment requiring long-term, high-intensity operation, such as surveillance robots and drones, significantly improving equipment reliability and heat dissipation capabilities.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the connecting structure 3 has a support column 7 formed along the vertical direction, and the support column 7 is inserted into the control chip 4 to fix the control chip 4 in the vertical direction.

[0042] Specifically, the connecting structure 3 forms a support column 7 in the vertical direction, which is inserted into the control chip 4 to fix it in place. This design not only strengthens the chip's stability but also optimizes the internal structure, enabling the robot to operate more stably. The design of the support column 7 makes the control chip 4 less susceptible to external vibrations or collisions, ensuring its long-term stable operation. The insertion method of the support column 7 provides a more robust connection, avoiding potential loosening or displacement problems. Especially when the robot performs highly dynamic tasks, the stable fixing structure can effectively reduce failures caused by component instability. In addition, the design of the support column 7 also optimizes the heat exchange path. Because its contact with the inner surface of the control chip 4 increases the heat conduction area, it helps to improve the chip's heat dissipation efficiency.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, when viewed along the vertical direction, a heat dissipation groove 9 is provided on the contact surface between the connecting structure 3 and the battery cell 5, and the battery cell 5 is connected to the heat dissipation channel 6 through the heat dissipation groove 9.

[0044] Specifically, a heat dissipation groove 9 is formed on the contact surface between the connecting structure 3 and the battery cell 5, and the battery cell 5 is connected to the heat dissipation channel 6 through the heat dissipation groove 9. The design of the heat dissipation groove 9 allows the heat generated by the battery cell 5 to be quickly conducted into the heat dissipation channel 6, thereby preventing the battery cell 5 from failing due to overheating or affecting the stability of the robot. The presence of the heat dissipation groove 9 enhances the heat transfer speed, making the heat dissipation path shorter and more direct, reducing the risk of heat accumulation. This structure effectively reduces the temperature while ensuring the efficient operation of the battery cell 5, preventing excessive temperature from affecting the performance of the battery cell 5. The connection between the battery cell 5 and the heat dissipation channel 6 through the heat dissipation groove 9 forms a good heat dissipation path, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring that the battery can maintain stable output even under high load operation.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the mobile monitoring robot that facilitates heat dissipation further includes a display structure 10. The direction of the heat dissipation channel 6 is referred to as the first direction. In the first direction, the display structure 10 is located inside the housing 1 away from the first heat dissipation hole 2.

[0046] Viewed along the first direction, the connecting structure 3 has a second heat dissipation hole 11 at the heat-generating end of the display structure 10. The second heat dissipation hole 11 is connected to the heat dissipation channel 6. The heat-generating end of the display structure 10 can heat the air in the heat dissipation channel 6 so that it flows out towards the first heat dissipation hole 2.

[0047] Specifically, the display structure 10 is positioned away from the first heat dissipation hole 2, with its heat-generating end facing the second heat dissipation hole 11. This allows the heat generated by the display structure 10 to be quickly channeled into the heat dissipation channel 6 through the second heat dissipation hole 11 and then discharged through the first heat dissipation hole 2. The design of the second heat dissipation hole 11 being connected to the heat dissipation channel 6 ensures that the heat from the display structure 10 can be quickly dissipated, preventing the display module from being affected or damaged due to excessive temperature. Through this design, the robot can maintain a low temperature while displaying information, ensuring its normal operation. The heat-generating end of the display structure 10 faces the second heat dissipation hole 11 and is effectively connected to the heat dissipation system through this channel, optimizing the heat distribution and exhaust path, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. Compared with the insufficient heat dissipation of the display module in traditional designs, this design can effectively improve heat dissipation efficiency and enhance the stability of the display module. It is particularly suitable for robots that need to operate continuously and have high requirements for display stability, such as security monitoring and remote control equipment.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, when viewed along the first direction, the first heat dissipation hole 2 is an elliptical opening structure, which is used to enhance heat dissipation.

[0049] Specifically, the first heat dissipation hole 2 adopts an elliptical opening structure. This design enhances heat dissipation by increasing the surface area of ​​the heat dissipation hole and optimizing the airflow path. Compared with the traditional circular hole design, the elliptical structure can effectively reduce airflow resistance and enhance airflow speed, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation rate. The elliptical opening design helps reduce heat accumulation and avoids overheating of the equipment due to poor heat dissipation. Compared with other heat dissipation methods, the elliptical heat dissipation hole can provide stronger airflow, optimize the heat exchange process, and keep the internal temperature of the robot within a safe range.

[0050] In one specific embodiment, when viewed along the vertical direction, the two ends of the connecting structure 3 are respectively formed with snap-fit ​​structures 12, and the snap-fit ​​structures 12 are fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0051] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​structure 12 of the connecting structure 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, ensuring a stable connection between the connecting structure 3 and the housing 1. The snap-fit ​​structure 12 effectively prevents the connecting structure 3 from loosening due to vibration or other external forces, enhancing the stability of the equipment. Through the snap-fit ​​method, the connecting structure 3 can be more firmly fixed inside the housing 1, avoiding structural changes or functional failures caused by unstable position or insecure fixation. This fixing method allows the robot to operate stably for a long time in complex operating environments, without being affected by external factors that could lead to component loosening or malfunction.

[0052] In one specific embodiment, when viewed along the sliding direction of the mobile monitoring robot, the housing 1 has a streamlined structure, and the first heat dissipation hole 2 is located at the tail of the housing 1 to accelerate the airflow around the first heat dissipation hole 2 when the mobile monitoring robot slides.

[0053] Specifically, the housing 1 adopts a streamlined structure, with the first heat dissipation hole 2 located at the rear to accelerate airflow and improve heat dissipation efficiency. The streamlined design reduces air resistance, allowing the robot to move more smoothly and reducing energy loss. The rear-end design of the first heat dissipation hole 2 helps to fully utilize the airflow around the hole during rapid movement, accelerating the dissipation of internal heat. By optimizing the airflow path, not only is the robot's heat dissipation capacity improved during high-speed movement, but the impact of overheating on equipment performance is also reduced, ensuring the robot can operate stably for extended periods while performing tasks.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the connecting structure 3 is made of plastic.

[0055] Specifically, connection structure 3 is made of plastic, which has good moldability and processability, reducing production costs and the overall weight of the device. The low thermal conductivity of plastic helps prevent excessive heat transfer to other sensitive components in the heat dissipation design, thus optimizing heat dissipation. By using plastic, connection structure 3 not only reduces the robot's overall weight but also improves production efficiency and reduces costs associated with the complexity of material processing.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, the housing 1 is made of plastic.

[0057] Specifically, housing 1 is made of plastic, a design that reduces overall weight and production costs. Plastic has good processability and moldability, enabling complex structural designs and providing a robust protective layer to ensure that internal electronic components are protected from external physical damage.

[0058] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
