[0002] In robot voice interaction systems, noise-canceling microphones are key sound acquisition components, and their performance directly affects the accuracy of speech recognition and the human-computer interaction experience. In noisy industrial environments such as factory workshops, noise-canceling microphones enable robots to accurately receive voice commands from operators, perform production operations, equipment debugging, and other tasks, thereby improving production efficiency and accuracy.
[0003] Traditional noise-canceling microphones have a relatively simple and fixed installation method, which often makes it difficult to adapt to the diverse working scenarios and complex motion states of robots. Many robots need to rotate, move or change their posture flexibly during the execution of tasks. However, existing noise-canceling microphones cannot make corresponding position and angle adjustments with the robot's movement, resulting in the microphones being unable to effectively collect sound in certain postures and being highly susceptible to environmental noise interference, which seriously affects the voice interaction effect.

[0030] Sound pickup hole 5: A perforated structure on the noise-canceling housing 1, evenly distributed, serving as the entrance for sound to enter the noise-canceling microphone;
[0031] Microphone body 6: Its core function is to receive sound signals and convert them into electrical signals for transmission to the robot circuit board; C-shaped slider 7: Shaped like a "C", it provides a sliding track for slider 11 to facilitate the movement of the telescopic structure;
[0032] Spherical protrusion 8: A spherical structure that mates with the spherical groove 16 on the mounting base 4 to enable the rotation and swing of the swing arm 9 and the microphone body 6;
[0033] Swing rod 9: A rod-shaped structure, one end of which is connected to the corrugated pipe 3 and the other end is connected to the spherical protrusion 8, which drives the microphone body 6 to swing.
[0034] Conical cut 10: A conical recess formed on the mounting base 4 to provide space for the spherical protrusion 8 to swing and avoid interference;
[0035] Slider 11: Block structure with a through hole 12 on one side, slides on the C-shaped slide rod 7 and participates in the movement of the telescopic structure;
[0036] Sliding hole 12: A hole-like structure opened on the slider 11, allowing the slider 11 to slide on the C-shaped slider 7; Connecting rod 13: A rod-like structure with three hinge holes 14 arranged in a straight line through one side, connecting with other components through the hinge holes 14, transmitting motion in the telescopic structure, and driving the bellows 3 to extend and retract.
[0037] Hinge hole 14: A hole-like structure opened on the connecting rod 13, distributed in a scissor structure, connecting various components through the hinge shaft, realizing relative rotation between the connecting rods 13, and driving the bellows 3 to extend and retract;
[0038] Magnetic block 15: a block-shaped structure, installed on the side of the mounting base 4 opposite to the spherical groove 16, used to magnetically connect the mounting base 4 to the robot structure;
[0039] Spherical groove 16: It is a spherical concave shape, located between the noise reduction shell 1 and the microphone body 6 and inside the mounting base 4. It may play a buffering role between the noise reduction shell 1 and the microphone body 6, and cooperate with the spherical protrusion 8 inside the mounting base 4 to achieve swinging.
[0040] Hinged rod 17: A rod-shaped structure with both ends fixed to the two side walls of the groove 18, used to connect the slider 11 and the connecting rod 13 so that the two can move in a hinged manner;
[0041] Groove 18: A groove-shaped structure formed on the slider 11 for mounting the hinge rod 17 to achieve a hinged connection between the slider 11 and the connecting rod 13;
[0042] Sound-absorbing cotton 19: It is filled between the noise-reducing shell 1 and the microphone body 6 to absorb sound and reduce noise.
[0043] Working principle: The noise-canceling housing 1 serves as the protective and supporting structure for the entire microphone. A set of evenly distributed pickup holes 5 are perforated on one side, acting as the channel for sound to enter the microphone. External sound enters the noise-canceling housing 1 through the pickup holes 5 and is received by the microphone body 6 installed inside. The microphone body 6 converts the received sound signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the robot's circuit board for further processing via its wiring. When the robot's movement requires the microphone to extend or retract within a certain range, the bellows 3 is pulled. The C-shaped slide rods 7, fixedly connected to the cable conduit 2 and bellows 3 respectively, provide a sliding track for the slider 11. The sliding hole 12 on the slider 11 is slidably connected to the C-shaped slide rod 7. Simultaneously, the slider 11 is hinged to the connecting rod 13 via the hinge rod 17 in the groove 18. When the connecting rod 13 rotates, it pushes the slider... Sliding slider 11 slides on C-shaped slider 7. Since the bellows 3 is a tube with a telescopic length, the sliding of slider 11 will drive the bellows 3 to telescopically move, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the microphone in the telescopic direction to better adapt to the robot's movement state and optimize the sound acquisition position. The mounting base 4 is magnetically connected to the robot structure through magnetic block 15, providing fixed support for the entire microphone. When the robot's movement requires the microphone to swing at an angle, the bellows 3 swings, and the spherical protrusion 8 can rotate freely in the spherical groove 16, thereby driving the swing rod 9 and the entire microphone body 6 to swing. The tapered cutout 10 on the mounting base 4 provides sufficient space for the spherical protrusion 8 to swing, avoiding interference between the spherical protrusion 8 and the mounting base 4 when swinging, ensuring that the microphone can flexibly adjust the angle and effectively acquire sound.
