Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0032] The following is combined with Figures 1-3This invention describes a robot competition arena (hereinafter referred to as the arena), comprising several arena modules. Each arena module includes a base 100, a floor 200, and a lifting mechanism 300. The floor 200 is provided with several mounting slots 210 for mounting enclosures 600 (the enclosures 600 can be referenced in [reference needed]). Figure 3 The lifting mechanism 300 is located below the floor 200 and is connected between the base 100 and the floor 200. It is used to drive the floor 200 to rise and fall relative to the base 100.

[0033] According to the robot competition arena of this application embodiment, since the lifting mechanism 300 can drive the floor 200 to rise and fall relative to the base 100, it can meet the construction requirements of different heights and terrains, thereby increasing the diversity and challenge of the competition and expanding the applicable scenarios for this type of robot competition arena. Furthermore, since the floor 200 is provided with mounting slots 210, various types of fencing 600 can be quickly assembled and disassembled under different competition requirements, thus meeting different competition needs, improving installation efficiency, and saving time and effort. Moreover, due to the high applicability of the arena, only the lifting mechanism 300 and the fencing 600 need to be adjusted to meet different competition requirements, reducing the cost required to produce various arena types.

[0034] According to the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The fencing 600 can be a panel structure, or it can be various types of obstacles such as bollards or barriers. The specific form is not limited, and different matching fencing 600s can be used based on different competition requirements. The fencing 600 can be made of high-strength plastic material, possessing a certain degree of flexibility and impact resistance.

[0035] According to an embodiment of this application, the mounting groove 210 and the enclosure 600 can be fixed together by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, thereby making the enclosure 600 easy to assemble and disassemble and save time. Specifically, the enclosure 600 is provided with a mounting protrusion that snaps into the mounting groove 210. (Refer to...) Figure 1 Both ends of the mounting groove 210 extend to the edge of the floor 200, allowing the enclosure 600 to be distributed from the center of the field to the edge, thus meeting different competition requirements. Furthermore, with both ends of the mounting groove 210 extending to the edge of the floor, the enclosure 600 can be installed only in the center or only at the edge of the field, depending on the competition requirements. Of course, it is also possible that the mounting groove 210 is only distributed in the center or only at the edge of the field.

[0036] Figure 1In this design, the mounting grooves 210 can be evenly distributed across the site. The width and depth of the mounting grooves 210 are designed according to the dimensions of the fence 600 to ensure that the fence 600 can be securely fixed within the mounting grooves 210. Specifically, the mounting protrusions of the fence 600 are inserted into the mounting grooves 210, and through the restraining and fixing effect of the mounting grooves 210, the fence 600 can be stably installed on the floor 200.

[0037] The interior of the mounting groove 210 can be made as smooth as possible to reduce friction during the installation of the enclosure 600.

[0038] Figure 1 In the mounting groove 210, there are intersecting first and second elongated grooves, which are perpendicular to each other. In this case, a curved channel can be formed by installing surrounding plates on both the first and second elongated grooves; see reference [link to relevant documentation] for details. Figure 3 The mounting groove 210 can be a recessed groove, or it can be a through groove that penetrates the floor 200.

[0039] According to the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The lifting mechanism 300 includes an X-link assembly 310. The X-link assembly 310 is rotatably connected between the base 100 and the floor 200. The X-link assembly 310 includes a first link 311 and a second link 312 hinged to each other. The top end of the first link 311 is slidably connected to the floor 200, and the bottom end of the second link 312 is slidably connected to the base 100. The X-link assembly 310 provides effective and reliable support for the floor 200. Specifically, there are at least two support points between the X-link assembly 310 and the floor 200. The X-link assembly 310 has a retracted state; please refer to [link to previous section]. Figure 2 In this case, the floor 200 almost retracts to the base 100, thus occupying less space and facilitating transportation and storage. During the use of the site, the telescopic height of the X-link assembly 310 can be adjusted as needed. As the angle between the first link 311 and the second link 312 changes, the telescopic height of the X-link assembly 310 also changes accordingly.

[0040] According to embodiments of this application, the number of linkage assemblies is at least two sets, and multiple sets of X-link assemblies 310 are arranged in parallel. By setting multiple sets of X-link assemblies 310, the stability of the support for the floor 200 can be improved.

[0041] Specifically, the X-link assembly 310 can be driven by an electric device to raise and lower the floor 200. The electric device can be installed on the base 100 and its output end can be connected to the floor 200. Figure 1In this configuration, the second links 312 of different X-link assemblies 310 are all connected to the sliding rod 320, which is slidably connected to the base 100. The electric actuator includes a linear drive mechanism 330 disposed between the sliding rod 320 and the base 100, and the linear drive mechanism 330 is perpendicular to the sliding rod 320. When the sliding rod 320 is curved, "the linear drive mechanism 330 is perpendicular to the sliding rod 320" refers to the situation where the linear drive mechanism 330 is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the multiple X-link assemblies 310. By setting the sliding rod 320, only the linear motion of the sliding rod 320 needs to be driven to rotate the second link 312, thereby causing the first link 311 to rotate as well, achieving the effect of raising and lowering the floor 200. This drive structure is simple and low in cost. Figure 1 The linear drive mechanism 330 can be a linear motor, or it can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0042] Of course, the specific form of the electric device is not limited. For example, a motor can drive a gear to rotate, and the gear can drive the first connecting rod 311 to rotate, thereby raising or lowering the floor 200. Alternatively, a motor can drive a ball screw assembly, wherein the bottom end of the second connecting rod 312 can be rotatably connected to the nut of the ball screw assembly. Specifically, a mounting hole can be formed at the bottom end of the second connecting rod 312, and the mounting hole can be fitted onto the outside of the nut. Alternatively, a lifting cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can be installed between the floor 200 and the base 100, and the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can be arranged along the height direction to drive the floor 200 to rise or fall.

[0043] According to embodiments of this application, a damper 340 can also be provided to enhance the stability of the floor 200. For example, the damper 340 is connected between the sliding rod 320 and the first connecting rod 311, or the damper 340 is connected between the sliding rod 320 and the floor 200. Since one end of the damper 340 is connected to the sliding rod 320, when the linear drive mechanism 330 drives the sliding rod 320 to move, the damper 340 can provide a certain buffering effect on the first connecting rod 311 or the floor 200, ensuring the stability of the floor 200 during the movement of the X-link assembly 310. The number of dampers 340 is not limited and can be as follows: Figure 1 You can set 2, or you can set 1, 3, 4, etc.

[0044] According to embodiments of this application, the X-link assembly 310 can be made of high-strength steel, which has good load-bearing capacity and stability. The linear drive mechanism 330 can be a drive motor, specifically a brushless DC motor, which is characterized by high efficiency and low noise. The lifting and lowering of the X-link assembly 310 is achieved by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor.

[0045] According to an embodiment of this application, the base 100 can adopt a frame structure. The frame material can be, but is not limited to, high-strength aluminum alloy, which has good strength and stability. The frame shape can be rectangular, and the size can be customized according to actual needs. A mounting base for a linear drive mechanism 330 is provided at the bottom of the frame. The traveling rollers 400, power supply, audio-visual equipment, control panel, and power cord interface mentioned later can all be mounted on the frame.

[0046] According to embodiments of this application, there are multiple field modules, each with an independent structure and function. Multiple field modules can be spliced ​​together to form a large field, thus meeting the needs of large-scale competitions and offering greater flexibility in use. The splicing components of the field modules can be standardized, allowing for arbitrary splicing of multiple field modules while ensuring the robustness and reliability of the splicing between adjacent field modules. For example, the splicing components include splicing interfaces and splicing protrusions. Furthermore, a field module with splicing interfaces can mate with a field module with splicing protrusions, and the assembly process only requires aligning and fixing the splicing interfaces and protrusions. The floor 200 of the field module can be rectangular, allowing multiple floor 200s to be assembled into the desired shape when multiple field modules are spliced ​​together. Of course, the floor 200 of the field module can also be triangular, pentagonal, or hexagonal, etc., without limitation, as long as it allows for the assembly of the field 200.

[0047] According to an embodiment of this application, in order to ensure that the floor 200 of adjacent site modules can be assembled together, the orthographic projection of the floor 200 on the horizontal plane completely covers the base 100 and the lifting mechanism 300, so as to avoid the base 100 or the lifting mechanism 300 interfering with the assembly of the floor 200.

[0048] According to an embodiment of this application, the floor 200 includes a body 220 and a panel 230. The panel 230 is located on the side of the body 220 opposite to the lifting mechanism 300, and the panel 230 and the body 220 are detachably connected. Since the panel 230 can be detached from the body 220, it can be replaced to adapt to different competition requirements. Specifically, suitable materials can be selected according to different competitions, and panels 230 made of different materials can be produced, such as wood, plastic, and metal. For example, when the venue is used for robot soccer, the panel 230 can be artificial turf or a short-pile carpet to simulate a real soccer field and provide friction; as another example, when the venue is used for simulated rescue, the panel 230 can be made of mixed materials, such as wooden planks to simulate ruins, metal ramps, and gravel or soft mats to simulate rugged ground; as yet another example, when the venue is used for fighting robots, the panel 230 can be made of steel plates or aluminum alloy plates. Generally, the panel 230 can be made of wear-resistant and scratch-resistant high-density board to achieve a smooth and flat surface. The four corners of the 200mm floor can be rounded to prevent people from colliding and getting injured.

[0049] The panel 230 and the body 220 can be connected by snaps, threads, or adhesive. The specific connection is not limited, as long as the panel 230 and the body 220 can be disassembled and replaced.

[0050] According to an embodiment of this application, the base 100 is provided with at least one of the following: a walking roller 400, a power supply, an audio / video device, a control panel, and a power cord interface.

[0051] The power supply can include at least one of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) and a regular power supply. The UPS can be a high-capacity, long-duration lithium battery pack. Under normal operating conditions, the venue can be powered by an external power source while the UPS is charging. When the external power source fails, the UPS immediately switches to power supply mode to provide continuous power to the competition venue.

[0052] Audio-visual equipment, including cameras, microphones, and speakers, is used for real-time monitoring and broadcasting of the competition, facilitating spectator viewing and improving the convenience and functionality of the competition venue. The audio-visual equipment connects to external devices via built-in wiring to transmit and process audio and video signals. The control panel can include function buttons such as a power switch, volume control knob, and camera control button. The power supply, audio-visual equipment, control panel, and power cord interface can all be housed within the control box 500, which is located at the bottom of the base 100 or floor 200.

[0053] When adjusting the height of the floor 200 using an electric device according to the embodiments of this application, care should be taken to ensure that the floor 200 does not exceed its rated travel range to avoid damage. Furthermore, care should be taken when installing and dismantling the site fencing 600 to avoid finger injuries. When replacing the material of the panel 230, ensure that the quality and specifications of the new panel 230 meet the requirements to guarantee the performance and safety of the site. When assembling site modules, strictly follow the correspondence between the splicing interfaces and splicing protrusions to ensure a firm and reliable connection. Simultaneously, care should be taken to protect the surface of the site modules, splicing interfaces, or splicing protrusions to avoid collisions and damage. Before using the site, check that the UPS has sufficient power and that the audio-visual equipment is functioning properly. During use, avoid excessive pulling or bending of power cords and audio-visual equipment cables to prevent damage.

[0054] According to an embodiment of this application, the control box 500 may also be equipped with a control circuit for controlling the raising and lowering of the floor 200. The control circuit is electrically connected to the electric device, and the control box 500 may be equipped with control buttons and indicator lights for the electric device. If the site needs to be used on different terrains, the site can be moved to a suitable position first, and then the electric device can be activated through the control buttons on the control box 500 to adjust the height of the floor 200 and maintain the floor 200 level and stability.

[0055] Based on this, plug the external power plug into the power cord interface of the competition venue to supply power. Simultaneously, connect the audio / video equipment to the corresponding interface on the control box 500. After turning on the power switch, adjust the volume and other parameters as needed. During use, the electric actuators, audio / video equipment, etc., can be operated and controlled via the control buttons on the control box 500.

[0056] According to competition requirements, barriers 600 are inserted at specific locations. If the position of barriers 600 needs adjustment, simply remove them from the mounting slots 210 and reinsert them. When changing the material of panel 230, first turn off the power, then remove the original panels 230 one by one, and install the new panels 230 onto the body 220 of the floor 200. When installing the new panels 230, ensure the tightness and reliability of the connections between the panels 230. Furthermore, the required number and arrangement of field modules can be determined based on the scale and requirements of the competition. After moving each field module to the designated location, align and insert the splicing protrusions and interfaces of adjacent field modules, and then secure them together using fixing pins or other connectors. During the splicing process, ensure the connections between each field module are firm to avoid loosening or excessive gaps.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
