Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of robotics, and more particularly to a thoracic structure and a humanoid robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of humanoid robot technology, the chest cavity of a humanoid robot occupies a crucial position. Specifically, the chest cavity houses the electrical components of systems such as sensing and navigation systems. The chest cavity of a humanoid robot typically employs a one-piece shell structure. The electrical components are encased inside the shell, thus providing protection for them.

[0003] However, during daily activities or task execution, humanoid robots may encounter unexpected situations such as falls. Due to their relatively poor overall structural rigidity, the outer shell is prone to deformation or even cracking, which can damage the electrical components inside the shell and affect the normal operation of the humanoid robot. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a thoracic cavity structure and a humanoid robot to improve the reliability of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a thoracic cavity structure, including:

[0007] It includes a left shell, a right shell, a mounting section, and a support section, with the left shell and right shell arranged opposite each other;

[0008] The first end of the support is connected to the left shell, and the second end of the support is connected to the right shell.

[0009] The mounting section is located below the support section. The mounting section connects the left shell and the right shell. The mounting section can be reused to install electrical components.

[0010] The mounting section includes at least one support frame for supporting electrical components. The support frame extends in the left-right direction of the mounting section and is also used to support the left and right shells.

[0011] The thoracic cavity structure provided in this application includes a left shell, a right shell, a mounting section, and a support section. The left shell, right shell, mounting section, and support section can be connected to form an integral thoracic cavity structure. The mounting section is located below the support section. The support frame of the mounting section connects the left and right shells to support them. The support frame and support section of the mounting section can distribute the stress of the thoracic cavity structure in multiple directions and positions, thereby improving the rigidity of the thoracic cavity structure and preventing deformation in the event of accidental falls. Electrical components are mounted on the mounting section and support frame. The electrical components are protected by the highly rigid thoracic cavity structure, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the electrical components and improving the reliability of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting section can support the left and right shells and can also be used to mount electrical components. The mounting section's functionality can be further enhanced, reducing the number of parts in the thoracic cavity structure, thereby lowering its weight and manufacturing cost.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, there are multiple support frames, and at least two adjacent support frames form a receiving space for accommodating electrical components;

[0014] The mounting section includes a front baffle and a rear baffle, which are positioned between two adjacent support frames.

[0015] The front baffle, rear baffle, adjacent support frames, and left and right shells can form isolated housing spaces, protecting the electrical components and preventing them from being impacted. Furthermore, this also prevents interference between the electrical components, ensuring that each component can operate stably and independently.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, a first extension is provided on the rear side of the front baffle, and the front baffle is connected to the support frame through the first extension;

[0017] A second extension is provided on the front side of the rear baffle, and the rear baffle is connected to the support frame through the second extension.

[0018] The first and second extensions enable the support frame to be securely connected to the front and rear baffles, improving the stability of the front baffle and support frame and ensuring that they will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external forces.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the left shell is provided with a first connecting portion facing the right side, and the left shell is connected to the support frame through the first connecting portion;

[0020] The right shell is provided with a second connecting part facing the left, and the right shell is connected to the support frame through the second connecting part.

[0021] The first and second connecting parts enable the left and right shells to be more securely connected to the support frame, ensuring that the support frame will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external forces.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, multiple support portions are provided, including a first support portion and a second support portion, which are spaced apart.

[0023] By using the first and second support parts set at intervals, the position of the support points can be better optimized, making the force on the thoracic cavity structure more uniform, thereby ensuring the stability of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the upper portions of the left and right shells are respectively provided with corresponding robotic arm mounting holes;

[0025] The first support and the second support are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the robot arm mounting hole.

[0026] This disperses the force exerted by the robotic arm around the mounting holes, enhancing the rigidity and strength around the mounting holes and preventing the robotic arm from loosening or shifting during operation, thus improving the reliability and safety of the humanoid robot.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the left shell is provided with a first protective part, and the right shell is provided with a second protective part;

[0028] The first protective part is located on the front side of the left shell and extends toward the center of the front side, and the second protective part is located on the front side of the right shell and extends toward the center of the front side.

[0029] When the humanoid robot moves forward or falls forward, the first and second protective sections are the first to be impacted and collided, thus preventing the internal electrical components from being directly impacted or collided, thereby improving the protective effect of the left and right shells.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the left shell is provided with a third protective part, and the right shell is provided with a fourth protective part;

[0031] The third protective part is located on the rear side of the left shell and extends toward the center of the rear side, and the fourth protective part is located on the rear side of the right shell and extends toward the center of the rear side.

[0032] When the humanoid robot moves backward or falls backward, the third and fourth protective sections are the first to be impacted and collided, thus preventing the internal electrical components from being directly impacted or collided, thereby improving the protective effect of the left and right shells.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the thoracic cavity structure further includes a front shell and a rear shell, which are spaced apart from the mounting portion;

[0034] The two ends of the front shell are detachably connected to the front side of the left shell and the front side of the right shell, respectively;

[0035] The two ends of the rear shell are detachably connected to the rear sides of the left and right shells, respectively.

[0036] When repairing and inspecting the electrical components within the thoracic cavity structure, only the front and rear shells need to be removed to expose the electrical components on the mounting section, making it convenient for repair and inspection.

[0037] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a humanoid robot, including the thoracic cavity structure and electrical components as described above.

[0038] The humanoid robot of this application includes a thoracic cavity structure and electrical components. The thoracic cavity structure comprises a left shell, a right shell, a mounting section, and a support section. The left shell, right shell, mounting section, and support section can be connected to form an integrated thoracic cavity structure. The mounting section's support frame connects the left and right shells, providing support for them. The mounting section is located below the support section. The mounting frame and support section can distribute the stress of the thoracic cavity structure in multiple directions and positions, thereby increasing the rigidity of the thoracic cavity structure and preventing deformation in the event of accidental falls. The electrical components are mounted on the mounting section and support frame. Protected by the highly rigid thoracic cavity structure, the electrical components are less likely to be damaged, thus improving the reliability of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0039] In addition to the technical problems solved by the embodiments of this application, the technical features constituting the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by the technical features of these technical solutions as described above, other technical problems that this application can solve, other technical features included in the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects brought about by these technical features will be further explained in detail in the specific embodiments.

[0060] In related technologies, the chest cavity of humanoid robots houses electrical components for systems such as sensing and navigation. The chest cavity typically employs a monolithic outer shell. The electrical components are encased within this shell, providing them with protection. However, due to the lack of internal support, the chest cavity structure has relatively poor rigidity. When the humanoid robot experiences a fall or impact, the shell is prone to cracking, damaging the internal electrical components and affecting the robot's normal operation.

[0061] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a thoracic cavity structure, including a left shell, a right shell, a mounting portion, and a support portion. The left shell, right shell, mounting portion, and support portion can be connected to form an integral thoracic cavity structure. The support frame of the mounting portion connects the left and right shells to support them. The mounting portion is located below the support portion. The support frame and support portion of the mounting portion can distribute the stress of the thoracic cavity structure in multiple directions and positions, thereby improving the rigidity of the thoracic cavity structure and preventing deformation in the event of accidental falls. Electrical components are mounted on the mounting portion and the support frame. The electrical components are protected by the highly rigid thoracic cavity structure, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the electrical components and improving the reliability of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0062] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0063] This application provides a humanoid robot that can replace or assist humans in completing specific tasks, thereby enhancing the human-computer interaction experience. The humanoid robot can be applied in fields such as industry and services, healthcare, and education.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the humanoid robot includes a thoracic cavity structure 10 and electrical components. The thoracic cavity structure 10 provides support for the humanoid robot and can connect to structures such as the head, arms, and waist. The electrical components are housed within the thoracic cavity structure 10, including energy-related components (such as batteries). The electrical components also include sensors related to navigation and perception (such as cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.) to perceive the environment and the robot's own state, supporting navigation, obstacle avoidance, and human-robot interaction functions.

[0065] For ease of explanation, the direction the humanoid robot's face faces is considered "front," and the direction opposite the robot's face is considered "back." Standing facing the same direction as the robot, left is "left," and right is "right."

[0066] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the thoracic cavity structure 10 includes a left shell 110, a right shell 120, a mounting part 130, and a support part 140, with the left shell 110 and the right shell 120 arranged opposite to each other. The left shell 110 and the right shell 120 serve as the external protective layers of the thoracic cavity structure 10, preventing damage to the internal electrical components from the external environment, such as physical impacts.

[0067] The left shell 110 and right shell 120 can be made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy provides support and protection while reducing the weight of the thoracic structure 10. Furthermore, aluminum alloy has good thermal conductivity, which helps dissipate heat from electrical components, ensuring they operate within a safe temperature range and improving the reliability of the humanoid robot. In addition, the aluminum alloy surface can undergo various treatments, such as anodizing, electroplating, and spraying, giving the left shell 110 and right shell 120 a good appearance and texture, enhancing the robot's overall visual appeal.

[0068] The support portion 140 and the mounting portion 130 are disposed between the left shell 110 and the right shell 120. The first end of the support portion 140 is connected to the left shell 110, and the second end of the support portion 140 is connected to the right shell 120. The support portion 140 can provide lateral support to ensure the rigidity and stability of the thoracic cavity structure 10.

[0069] For example, the support 140 can be set as a connecting rod, which has a simple structure.

[0070] For example, the support 140 can be configured as a truss, which can increase the strength of the support 140.

[0071] The mounting portion 130 is disposed below the support portion 140, and there is a distance between the mounting portion 130 and the support portion 140. The mounting portion 130 connects the left shell 110 and the right shell 120. The mounting portion 130 can provide lateral support to ensure the rigidity and stability of the thoracic cavity structure 10. It is easy to understand that the left shell 110, the right shell 120, the mounting portion 130, and the support portion 140 can be connected to form an integral thoracic cavity structure 10. The mounting portion 130 and the support portion 140 can distribute the stress of the thoracic cavity structure 10 in multiple directions and at multiple positions, thereby improving the rigidity of the thoracic cavity structure 10.

[0072] The mounting section 130 can be reused for mounting electrical components. That is, the mounting section 130 can connect the left shell 110 and the right shell 120. At the same time, electrical components can be fixed on the mounting section 130, which provides a mounting position for the electrical components.

[0073] For example, the mounting part 130 is configured as a housing, and the housing can be used to install the battery to prevent the battery from being damaged by impact.

[0074] For example, the outer surface (including each outer side) of the mounting part 130 is provided with fixing holes, and the sensor can be fixed to the outer surface of the mounting part 130 by screws engaging with the fixing holes.

[0075] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the mounting section 130 includes one or more support frames 131 for fixing electrical components. The electrical components can be fixed above or below the support frame 131 to improve their stability. The support frame 131 connects the left shell 110 and the right shell 120 to support them. In other words, the support frame 131 provides a fixed and support position for the electrical components. Furthermore, the support frame 131 also supports the left shell 110 and the right shell 120 to improve the rigidity and stability of the mounting section 130. This reduces the number of parts in the thoracic structure 10, thereby reducing material usage and manufacturing costs.

[0076] For example, the support frame 131 can be configured as a flat plate for securing heavier electrical components. The flat plate can also have some material removed to secure lighter electrical components.

[0077] In some possible implementations, the left shell 110, right shell 120, mounting part 130 and support part 140 can be manufactured using an integral processing technology (such as additive manufacturing), which can improve the rigidity and strength of the thoracic cavity structure 10, thereby improving the reliability of the thoracic cavity structure 10.

[0078] It is easy to understand that the left shell 110, right shell 120, mounting part 130, and support part 140 can be connected to form an integral thoracic cavity structure 10. The support frame 131 of the mounting part 130 connects the left shell 110 and the right shell 120 to support them. The mounting part 130 is located below the support part 140. The support frame 131 of the mounting part 130 and the support part 140 can disperse the stress of the thoracic cavity structure 10 in multiple directions and positions, thereby improving the rigidity of the thoracic cavity structure 10 and preventing it from deforming in the event of an accidental fall. Electrical components are mounted on the mounting part 130 and the support frame 131. The electrical components are protected by the highly rigid thoracic cavity structure 10, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the electrical components and improving the reliability of the thoracic cavity structure.

[0079] Furthermore, the mounting section 130 can support the left shell 110 and the right shell 120, and can also be used to mount electrical components. This configuration allows the mounting section 130 to function more comprehensively, reducing the number of parts in the thoracic structure 10, thereby lowering the weight and manufacturing cost of the thoracic structure 10.

[0080] Reference Figure 3As shown, to ensure the safety of the electrical components in the mounting section 130, the left shell 110 is provided with a first protective part 112, and the right shell 120 is provided with a second protective part 122. The first protective part 112 is located on the front side of the left shell 110 and extends towards the center of the front side, while the second protective part 122 is located on the front side of the right shell 120 and extends towards the center of the front side. When the humanoid robot moves forward or falls forward, the first protective part 112 and the second protective part 122 are the first to be impacted and collided with, thereby preventing the internal electrical components from being directly impacted or collided with, thus improving the protective effect of the left shell 110 and the right shell 120.

[0081] The first protective part 112 and the left shell 110 can be integrally molded, which can improve the rigidity of the left shell 110. At the same time, the second protective part 122 and the right shell 120 can be integrally molded, which can improve the rigidity of the right shell 120.

[0082] Similarly, the left shell 110 is provided with a third protective part 113, and the right shell 120 is provided with a fourth protective part 123. The third protective part 113 is located on the rear side of the left shell 110 and extends towards the center of the rear side, while the fourth protective part 123 is located on the rear side of the right shell 120 and extends towards the center of the rear side. When the humanoid robot moves backward or falls backward, the third protective part 113 and the fourth protective part 123 are the first to be impacted and collided, thereby preventing the internal electrical components from being directly impacted or collided, thus improving the protective effect of the left shell 110 and the right shell 120.

[0083] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the thoracic cavity structure 10 may further include a front shell 150 and a rear shell 160, which can protect electrical components. The front shell 150 and the rear shell 160 are spaced apart from the mounting portion 130. This spacing provides a buffer space for the thoracic cavity structure 10, which helps to absorb and disperse external impact forces, thereby reducing the impact force on the mounting portion 130 and the internal electrical components.

[0084] In some possible implementations, the front housing 150 and the rear housing 160 are spaced apart from the mounting portion 130. This spacing provides mounting space for electrical components such as sensors within the thoracic cavity structure 10.

[0085] The two ends of the front housing 150 are detachably connected to the front side of the left housing 110 and the front side of the right housing 120, respectively, so that the front housing 150 can be easily disassembled and replaced, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of electrical components.

[0086] Furthermore, the two ends of the front cover 150 can be detachably connected to the first protective part 112 and the second protective part 122 respectively, so that the front cover 150 can be easily disassembled and replaced, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the internal electrical components.

[0087] For example, the front shell 150 can be connected to the first protective part 112 and the second protective part 122 by snap-fit ​​connection. The front shell 150 can also be connected to other structures of the humanoid robot by fasteners such as bolts to improve the stability of the front shell 150.

[0088] The two ends of the rear shell 160 are detachably connected to the rear side of the left shell 110 and the rear side of the right shell 120, respectively, so that the rear shell 160 can be easily disassembled and replaced, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of electrical components.

[0089] Furthermore, the two ends of the rear cover 160 can be detachably connected to the third protective part 113 and the fourth protective part 123 respectively, so that the rear cover 160 can be easily disassembled and replaced, facilitating the inspection and maintenance of the internal electrical components.

[0090] In some possible implementations, the front shell 150 and the rear shell 160 may be made of a softer material. This can act as a shock absorber in the event of a fall by the humanoid robot. For example, the front shell 150 and the rear shell 160 may be made of fiber-reinforced composite materials.

[0091] The front shell 150 and rear shell 160 are spaced apart from the mounting portion 130, which helps to reduce the impact force on the mounting portion 130 and the internal electrical components. The front shell 150 is detachably connected to the first protective portion 112 of the left shell 110 and the second protective portion 122 of the right shell 120, and the rear shell 160 is detachably connected to the third protective portion 113 of the left shell 110 and the fourth protective portion 123 of the right shell 120. When performing maintenance and inspection on the electrical components inside the thoracic cavity structure 10, only the front shell 150 and rear shell 160 need to be removed to expose the electrical components on the mounting portion 130, which facilitates the maintenance and inspection of the electrical components.

[0092] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the rear shell 160 may be provided with a heat dissipation area 161 to improve the heat dissipation performance of the thoracic cavity structure 10. Furthermore, the heat dissipation area 161 is located on the rear shell 160 to avoid affecting the appearance of the humanoid robot.

[0093] The overall structure of the thoracic cavity has been explained above; the details of the thoracic cavity structure will be explained below.

[0094] Reference Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple support frames 131, and the shapes of the multiple support frames 131 may be different. At least two adjacent support frames 131 are formed with a receiving space 132 for accommodating electrical components. By forming a receiving space 132 between adjacent support frames 131, electrical components can be more effectively organized and protected, and the risk of damage caused by vibration or impact can be reduced.

[0095] The mounting section 130 includes a front baffle 133 and a rear baffle 134, which are disposed between two adjacent support frames 131. The front baffle 133 and the rear baffle 134 can prevent impacts from the front and rear on the electrical components in the receiving space 132.

[0096] The front baffle 133, rear baffle 134, adjacent support frame 131, left shell 110, and right shell 120 can form an isolated receiving space 132, which can protect the electrical components and prevent them from being impacted. In addition, this can also prevent interference between the electrical components and ensure that each electrical component can operate stably and independently.

[0097] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a first extension 1331 is provided on the rear side of the front baffle 133, and the front baffle 133 is connected to the support frame 131 through the first extension 1331. The provision of the first extension 1331 enables the support frame 131 and the front baffle 133 to be connected more stably, improving the stability of the front baffle 133 and the support frame 131, and ensuring that they will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external forces.

[0098] For example, the first extension 1331 of the front baffle 133 is provided with multiple mounting holes, and the support frame 131 is provided with multiple corresponding optical holes. By fixing the support frame 131 to the front baffle 133 with bolts passing through the optical holes and fixed to the mounting holes, the support frame 131 can be fixed to the front baffle 133.

[0099] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a second extension 1332 is provided on the front side of the rear baffle 134, and the rear baffle 134 is connected to the support frame 131 through the second extension 1332. The provision of the second extension 1332 enables the support frame 131 and the rear baffle 134 to be connected more stably, improving the stability of the rear baffle 134 and the support frame 131, and ensuring that they will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external forces.

[0100] For example, the second extension 1332 of the rear baffle 134 is provided with multiple mounting holes, and the support frame 131 is provided with multiple corresponding light holes. By fixing the support frame 131 to the rear baffle 134 with bolts passing through the light holes and fixed to the mounting holes, the support frame 131 can be fixed to the rear baffle 134.

[0101] It is easy to understand that the first extension 1331 and the second extension 1332 enable the support frame 131 to be connected more stably with the front baffle 133 and the rear baffle 134, thereby improving the stability of the front baffle 133 and the support frame 131 and ensuring that they will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external forces.

[0102] Reference Figure 10As shown, the left shell 110 is provided with a first connecting portion 111 facing to the right, and the left shell 110 is connected to the support frame 131 through the first connecting portion 111. The first connecting portion 111 provides additional structural support, which can make the connection between the left shell 110 and the support frame 131 more stable, ensuring that the support frame 131 will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external forces. The first connecting portion 111 allows the support frame 131 to adjust the position of the shell to adapt to different internal layout requirements.

[0103] Similarly, the right shell 120 is provided with a second connecting portion 121 facing to the left, through which the right shell 120 is connected to the support frame 131. The second connecting portion 121 provides additional structural support, allowing the right shell 120 and the support frame 131 to be connected more securely, ensuring that the support frame 131 will not easily detach or shift under external force. The second connecting portion 121 allows the support frame 131 to adjust the position of the shell to adapt to different internal layout requirements.

[0104] The first connecting part 111 and the second connecting part 121 can make the left shell 110, the right shell 120 and the support frame 131 more securely connected, ensuring that the support frame 131 will not easily fall off or shift when subjected to external force.

[0105] The front baffle 133 can be connected to the left shell 110 via the first connecting part 111. The front baffle 133 can be connected to the right shell 120 via the second connecting part 121. This makes the front baffle 133 more robust and improves its stability. The rear baffle 134 can be connected to the left shell 110 via the first connecting part 111. The front baffle 133 can be connected to the right shell 120 via the second connecting part 121. This makes the rear baffle 134 more robust and improves its stability.

[0106] Multiple support parts 140 are provided. The arrangement of multiple support parts 140 can bear stress more evenly and improve the stability and durability of the thoracic structure 10.

[0107] The plurality of support portions 140 include a first support portion 141 and a second support portion 142, which are spaced apart. By using the spaced first support portions 141 and the second support portions 142, the position of the support points can be better optimized, the force on the thoracic structure 10 can be more even, thereby ensuring the stability of the thoracic structure 10.

[0108] The first support 141 and the second support 142 can be made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy can reduce the weight of the thoracic structure 10 while providing support and protection.

[0109] In some possible implementations, the first support portion 141 and the second support portion 142 can be configured with different shapes to enable the first support portion 141 and the second support portion 142 to perform more functions and improve their applicability. For example, the first support portion 141 and the second support portion 142 can be used to install other components of the humanoid robot to reduce the number of parts used.

[0110] The upper portions of the left shell 110 and right shell 120 are respectively provided with robotic arm mounting holes 114, which can be used to mount robotic arms. That is, along the height direction, the corresponding robotic arm mounting holes 114 are located on the left shell 110 and right shell 120 respectively, away from the mounting part 130, so that the robotic arm mounting holes 114 can better simulate the human body structure. The corresponding robotic arm mounting holes 114 help ensure the symmetry and balance of the robotic arms (left arm and right arm), thereby improving the operating accuracy and stability of the humanoid robot.

[0111] The first support part 141 and the second support part 142 are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the robot arm mounting hole 114. They can disperse the force of the robot arm around the robot arm mounting hole 114, enhance the rigidity and strength around the robot arm mounting hole 114, thereby preventing the robot arm from loosening or shifting during operation and improving the reliability and safety of the humanoid robot.

[0112] Reference Figure 11 As shown, the left shell 110 and right shell 120, located at the edge of the robotic arm mounting hole 114, are respectively provided with first positioning parts 115 along the circumference of the robotic arm mounting hole 114. The robotic arm is provided with a corresponding second positioning part (not shown in the figure). By abutting the first positioning part 115 against the second positioning part, the reverse installation of the robotic arm can be prevented.

[0113] For example, a first platform is provided on the left shell 110 at the edge of the robotic arm mounting hole 114, and a corresponding second platform is provided on the robotic arm. The first platform and the second platform abut against each other, which can provide assembly positioning for the robotic arm and thus prevent the robotic arm from being installed in reverse.

[0114] Furthermore, the left shell 110 and right shell 120, located in the area surrounding the robotic arm mounting hole 114, are provided with at least one heat dissipation hole 116, which can improve the heat dissipation performance of electrical components (such as fans), thereby improving the heat dissipation of the thoracic cavity structure 10.

[0115] In some possible implementations, the left shell 110 and right shell 120, located above the robotic arm mounting hole 114, are respectively provided with corresponding lifting holes 117 to facilitate the handling of the humanoid robot. The lifting holes 117 and the left shell 110 can be integrally manufactured, which can reduce the number of parts in the humanoid robot and improve its appearance. Similarly, the lifting holes 117 and the right shell 120 can be integrally manufactured, which can reduce the number of parts in the humanoid robot and improve its appearance.

[0116] In some possible implementations, the left housing 110 is provided with a mounting hole 118 and a cover plate, the cover plate being disposed over the mounting hole 118 and detachably connected to the mounting hole 118. Electrical components can be inserted into the receiving space 132 through the mounting hole 118, facilitating the maintenance of the electrical components within the receiving space 132.
