Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary alignment device for opening a robot face mold. Background Technology

[0002] The facial structure of highly realistic humanoid robots is similar to that of traditional silicone dolls, but the back of the head differs. Traditional silicone dolls have a single, continuous piece of soft silicone on the outer surface of their heads, while humanoid robots, for ease of installation and maintenance, often have an open design for the back of the head, directly presenting a hard shell of plastic or other materials without any overmolding. When replicating a face using a silicone doll's head, only partial molding is possible; the back of the head, which doesn't need to be replicated, must be hidden. This step is called masking. Before masking, a crucial step is to accurately locate the boundary line between the exposed front of the face and the masked back of the head, achieving physical isolation. In this process, an auxiliary alignment device for robot face molding has emerged. Its main function is to assist in locating the boundary line during molding, ensuring accurate positioning of the front and back of the head during the molding process. This lays the foundation for subsequent robot face production and assembly, improving overall craftsmanship and production efficiency, and ensuring the harmony between the humanoid robot's facial appearance and function.

[0003] Most existing technologies employ a complete silicone face (including the front and back of the head as a single piece) to fully encase the internal mechanical structure. While this method ensures the robot's appearance is intact, making it look more realistic and natural, like a complete human face skin covering the internal structure, it has significant drawbacks. Firstly, the assembly process of fitting the complete silicone face onto the robot's internal mechanical structure is cumbersome and requires highly experienced operators. Slight errors can damage the face or cause misalignment, increasing assembly difficulty and cost, and reducing production efficiency. Secondly, when the robot malfunctions and requires repair, the entire scalp must be removed again. This process causes unnecessary tearing and compression to the already applied makeup, easily ruining the makeup effect and making repairs complex and unsuitable for long-term maintenance. Furthermore, the complete head-wrapping method is extremely inconvenient for disassembly and assembly, making it difficult to quickly change the front face and failing to meet users' needs for switching character roles in different scenarios. This severely limits the flexibility and practicality of humanoid robots in diverse application areas.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes an auxiliary alignment device for robot face mold making, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An auxiliary alignment device for robot face mold making includes an alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism includes a horizontal plane, a first adjustment component, and a second adjustment component. The first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are respectively disposed at both ends of the horizontal plane. The first adjustment component includes a first adjustment part and a second adjustment part.

[0008] Furthermore, to better ensure the adjustment effect, the first adjustment component includes a positioning groove, which is embedded in the horizontal plane. One end of the positioning groove has a placement groove, and movable grooves are equally spaced on the positioning groove. A positioning nut is movably connected inside the movable groove.

[0009] Furthermore, to better ensure the auxiliary alignment effect of the robot face mold opening, an adjustment bolt is connected to the positioning nut. One end of the adjustment bolt is equipped with an adjustment nut, and the other end of the adjustment bolt is equipped with a soft rubber support point. One end of the soft rubber support point is equipped with a model head, and the model head is set parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0010] Furthermore, to better ensure the angle adjustment effect, the second adjustment component includes an adjustment seat, which is connected to the height adjustment bolt. A movable seat is connected to one side of the adjustment seat, and an auxiliary adjustment bolt is connected to one end of the movable seat via a bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to better ensure the adjustment effect, the auxiliary adjustment bolt is provided with a support seat, and the support seat is located on the outer wall of the placement groove. The auxiliary adjustment bolt is provided with a first adjustment handle.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to better ensure the height adjustment effect, the second adjustment component includes a support column, which is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the horizontal plane. One end of the support column is provided with an adjustment groove, and a second adjustment handle is provided on one side of the support column. One end of the second adjustment handle is provided with a bidirectional screw, and one end of the bidirectional screw extends into the interior of the adjustment groove.

[0013] Furthermore, to better ensure the adjustment effect, multiple adjustment blocks are connected to the bidirectional screw, and the adjustment blocks are connected to folding plates. One end of the folding plate is connected to a lifting plate, and the lifting plate is slidably connected inside the adjustment groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] (1) By setting the first adjustment component, the model head can be precisely adjusted in height and angle. The positioning groove in the first adjustment component is embedded in the horizontal plane. Through the movable grooves opened at equal intervals and the height adjustment bolt connected to the positioning nut, the height and pitch angle of the back part of the model head can be precisely adjusted. The soft rubber support point at one end of the height adjustment bolt can elastically support the model head and prevent the metal threads from scratching its surface. Thus, while ensuring the stable placement of the model head, it meets the personalized adaptation requirements of different model heads on the edge contour of the face, providing a strong guarantee for the precise positioning when opening the robot face mold.

[0016] (2) By setting a second adjustment component, its support column is symmetrically set at the bottom of the horizontal plane. The internal adjustment groove, together with the bidirectional screw and multiple adjustment blocks, folding plates and lifting plates, can conveniently control the height of the lifting plate through the second adjustment handle, thereby driving the horizontal plane and the model head above to achieve overall lifting. The setting of multiple adjustment blocks can make the support more stable and uniform, meet the height adjustment requirements of different size model heads and different mold opening process requirements, effectively improve the versatility and adaptability of the device, and help improve the production efficiency and quality of robot face mold opening.

The first adjustment component 2 includes a first adjustment part and a second adjustment part.

[0028] The first adjustment component includes a positioning groove 4, which is made of plastic, stainless steel, or fiberglass and is used to accommodate the model head 11. The positioning groove 4 is embedded in the horizontal plane 1. One end of the positioning groove 4 has a placement groove 5. The gap between the model head 11 and the positioning groove 4 varies because different model heads 11 have different facial contours. The universal positioning groove 4 needs to be designed to be larger to accommodate all possible model heads 11. The positioning groove 4 has movable grooves 6 at equal intervals. The movable grooves 6 are movably connected to the interior of the movable grooves 6. The positioning nuts 7 are connected to the positioning nuts 7. Multiple height adjustment bolts 8 are screwed in and out. The height of bolt 8 is adjusted to control the height and pitch angle of the back of the model head 11. One end of the height adjustment bolt 8 is equipped with a height adjustment nut 9. The height adjustment bolt 8 can be screwed in or out by rotating the height adjustment nut 9 clockwise and counterclockwise. The other end of the height adjustment bolt 8 is equipped with a soft rubber support point 10. The soft rubber support point 10 is made of soft material such as PVC or foam and is attached to the top of the height adjustment bolt 8. It provides elastic support to the back of the model head 11 to prevent the metal threads of the height adjustment bolt 8 from scratching the surface of the model head 11. One end of the soft rubber support point 10 is equipped with the model head 11, and the model head 11 is set parallel to the horizontal plane 1.

[0029] The second adjustment component includes an adjustment seat 12, which is connected to the height adjustment bolt 8. A movable seat 13 is connected to one side of the adjustment seat 12. An auxiliary adjustment bolt 14 is connected to one end of the movable seat 13 via a bearing. A support seat 15 is provided on the auxiliary adjustment bolt 14, and the support seat 15 is located on the outer wall of the placement groove 5. A first adjustment handle 16 is provided on the auxiliary adjustment bolt 14.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an auxiliary alignment device for robot face mold making includes a second adjustment component 3 comprising a support column 17 and a support positioning groove 4, with a height sufficient to raise the positioning groove 4 and the bottom positioning nut 7, height adjustment bolt 8, and height adjustment cap 9 to suspend them in the air. The support column 17 is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the horizontal plane 1. One end of the support column 17 is provided with an adjustment groove 18. A second adjustment handle 19 is provided on one side of the support column 17. One end of the second adjustment handle 19 is provided with a bidirectional screw 20. One end of the bidirectional screw 20 extends into the interior of the adjustment groove 18. Multiple adjustment blocks 21 are connected to the bidirectional screw 20. The adjustment blocks 21 are connected to a folding plate 22. One end of the folding plate 22 is connected to a lifting plate 23, and the lifting plate 23 is slidably connected inside the adjustment groove 18.

[0032] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0033] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, during the process of opening the robot face mold, dividing lines are drawn on the silicone head mother part. The dividing lines distinguish the front face part and the back head part of the model head 11. The front face part needs to be copied by mold making, while the back head part, which is not drawn, needs to be positioned and hidden by the mask with the help of this device. Next, the model head 11 is placed face up in the horizontal surface 1. Here, the horizontal surface 1 serves as a base to support the model head 11. The two ends of the horizontal surface 1 are respectively provided with a first adjustment component 2 and a second adjustment component 3. The first adjustment component 2 is used to achieve precise adjustment of the model head 11 in height and angle. In specific operation, a positioning nut 7 is first selected at a position. The positioning nut 7 is located on the positioning groove 4, which is embedded in the horizontal surface 1. Rotating the height adjustment cap 9 clockwise causes the height adjustment bolt 8 to gradually screw into the positioning groove 4 through its cooperation with the positioning nut 7. The soft rubber support point 10 at the end of the height adjustment bolt 8 continuously raises the back of the model head 11 that is in contact with it, thereby achieving the initial positioning of the model head 11. For positioning nuts 7 at different positions, the above steps are repeated. By rotating the height adjustment cap 9 clockwise or counterclockwise, the height adjustment bolt 8 can be screwed in or out, thereby adjusting the height of the soft rubber support point 10. This controls the height of the back of the head and the pitch angle of the front face in the contact area of ​​this point, ensuring that the front face dividing line of the model head 11 is aligned with the horizontal plane 1. With the help of the auxiliary adjustment bolt 14 and the first adjustment handle 16, the angle of the model head 11 is further fine-tuned to ensure the stability and accurate positioning of the model head 11. At the same time, the second adjustment component 3, through the coordinated action of the support column 17, the adjustment groove 18, the bidirectional screw 20, the adjustment block 21, the folding plate 22, and the lifting plate 23, achieves the adjustment of the height of the entire device. By rotating the second adjustment handle 19, the bidirectional screw 20 is rotated, thereby controlling the movement of the adjustment block 21. The adjustment block 21 drives the folding plate 22 and the lifting plate 23 to slide up and down, thereby realizing the overall lifting of the horizontal plane 1 and the model head 11 above it, so as to adapt to different sizes of model heads 11 and different mold opening process requirements.

[0034] After the front dividing line of the model head 11 coincides with the horizontal plane 1, the placement groove 5 is sealed and smoothed with special mold putty to make it level with the horizontal plane 1, thereby completing the precise positioning and fixation of the model head 11. Then, the molding material is applied to the front part of the model head 11 exposed on the horizontal plane 1 to carry out the process of replicating the front. Subsequent molding processes are carried out according to specific process requirements.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
