[0022] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in the first aspect embodiment of this utility model, there is a robot chassis based on a biomimetic shock absorption structure. The robot chassis 1 and the base 2 are connected. A baffle 3 is fixed at the top edge of the base 2. The robot chassis 1 is installed on the top of the base 2 through a biomimetic shock absorption mechanism. The robot chassis 1 slides up and down inside the baffle 3. Limiting sliders 4 are symmetrically fixed on the side of the robot chassis 1. Limiting grooves 5 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall side surface of the baffle 3. The limiting sliders 4 are slidably connected in the limiting grooves 5.

[0024] The bionic shock absorption mechanism includes a first bionic shock absorption component, a second bionic shock absorption component and a damping component. The first bionic shock absorption component includes a rubber buffer seat 6. The bottom of the rubber buffer seat 6 is fixed at the center of the top of the base 2, and the top of the rubber buffer seat 6 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the robot chassis 1. Several honeycomb-shaped holes 7 are opened inside the rubber buffer seat 6.

[0025] In the above embodiments, it should be noted that under the combined limiting action of the limiting slider 4 and the limiting groove 5, the robot chassis 1 can move stably up and down.

[0026] The technical effect achieved by the above embodiment is as follows: the rubber buffer seat 6 with a number of honeycomb holes 7 imitates the structure of a honeycomb, and absorbs impact energy through dense hexagonal or other shaped holes, which can effectively absorb and dissipate energy, reduce the impact and vibration, and thus effectively reduce the vibration of the robot chassis 1. Example 2

[0027] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, a robot chassis based on a biomimetic shock absorption structure includes all the contents of Embodiment 1. Furthermore, the second biomimetic shock absorption component includes several hollow spheres 8, each with an arc-shaped limiting hole 9 on its surface. A first connecting rod 10 is fixed to the bottom of each hollow sphere 8. Several first end plates 11 are fixed to the top of the base 2, with each first end plate 11 corresponding to one of the first connecting rods 10. The bottom ends of each first connecting rod 10 are rotatably connected to the center of the corresponding first end plate 11 via first pins 12. Each hollow sphere 8 contains a rotating ball 13 for rotation. Each ball 13 has a second connecting rod 14 fixed on its surface. The top of the second connecting rod 14 passes through the arc-shaped limiting hole 9, and the surface of the second connecting rod 14 is in contact with the wall of the arc-shaped limiting hole 9. Several second end plates 15 are fixed at the bottom of the robot chassis 1. Each of the several second end plates 15 corresponds to one of the several second connecting rods 14. The top of each of the second connecting rods 14 is rotatably connected to the center of the corresponding second end plate 15 through a second pin 16. Each of the first connecting rods 10 has an arc-shaped spring sheet 17 fixed on its surface. The top of each arc-shaped spring sheet 17 is fixed to the surface of the second connecting rod 14.

[0028] The technical effect achieved by the above embodiments is as follows: when the modular robot moves and generates vibration, the robot chassis 1 slides up and down, which allows the rotating ball 13 to rotate inside the hollow ball 8, thereby squeezing the arc spring 17 and generating shock absorption force, realizing the function of the skeletal bionic shock absorption structure. Example 3

[0029] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a robot chassis based on a biomimetic damping structure includes all the contents of Embodiment 2. In addition, the damping assembly includes several vertically arranged dampers 18, the bottom ends of which are all fixed to the top of the base 2, and the top ends of the piston rods of the dampers 18 are all fixed to the bottom of the robot chassis 1.

[0030] The technical effect achieved by the above embodiments is that the damper 18 can absorb energy and effectively prevent the robot chassis 1 from shaking too violently under the elastic action of the arc spring plate 17 and the rubber buffer seat 6.

[0031] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When the robot moves and generates vibration, the robot chassis 1 slides up and down, which causes the rotating ball 13 to rotate inside the hollow ball 8, thereby compressing the arc spring 17 and generating shock absorption force, realizing the function of the skeletal bionic shock absorption structure. When the robot chassis 1 slides up and down, it can also compress the rubber buffer seat 6. The rubber buffer seat 6, which has several honeycomb-shaped holes 7, imitates the structure of a honeycomb. It absorbs impact energy through dense hexagonal or other shaped holes, which can effectively absorb and dissipate energy, reduce the impact and vibration, and thus effectively reduce the shock of the robot chassis 1. That is, the robot chassis can achieve dual shock absorption through the honeycomb bionic shock absorption structure and the skeletal bionic shock absorption structure, which greatly improves the shock absorption effect and is beneficial to the stability of the modular robot during movement.
