Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hexapod robots, and in particular to a hexapod robot body structure with a flexible torso. Background Technology

[0002] Hexapods, also known as spider robots, are a type of multi-legged robot. As the name suggests, hexapods are designed in our ideal framework, drawing inspiration from nature.

[0003] Chinese patent CN201620339950.1 discloses the "body structure of a hexapod walking robot". By setting up a camera that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, it is possible to achieve a comprehensive observation of the surrounding environment without moving the robot body, thereby improving the flexibility of robot use.

[0004] This structure has certain advantages, but it still has some shortcomings:

[0005] During use, there is a risk that external objects may collide with the camera mounted on the top of the robot, causing damage to the camera. This makes it difficult to achieve real-time environmental monitoring and stable and safe use of the camera. Furthermore, when the robot is placed outdoors, it is easily affected by direct sunlight and exposure to the sun, causing the camera to overheat and malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a hexapod robot body structure with a flexible torso.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a six-legged robot body structure with a flexible torso, including a body carrier, feet, a protective device, a rotating component, a mounting base, and a camera component. The feet are installed on the outer side of the body carrier. The mounting base is fixed to the top of the rotating component. The camera component is installed on the right end of the mounting base. The protective device is bolted to the top of the body carrier, and the rotating component is installed in its middle. The protective device includes a base plate, a mounting area, a mounting plate, a support rod, a spring damper, and a protective component. The base plate is bolted to the top of the body carrier. The mounting plate is bolted to the base plate, and the support rod is fixed to its top. The bottom end of the spring damper is fixed to the support rod, and the bottom end of the protective component is fixed to the spring damper.

[0008] Preferably, the protective component includes a protective plate, a mounting plate, a fan, and a protective cover. The mounting plate is fixed to the bottom end of the protective plate and is bolted to a spring damper. The fan is installed in the middle of the protective plate, and the bottom end of the protective cover is threaded to the protective plate.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the protective plate has a circular through hole in the middle, which facilitates the installation of the fan and the protective cover.

[0010] In a further preferred embodiment, multiple sets of spring dampers are provided, equally distributed at the bottom left and right ends of the protective component, which facilitates balanced elastic support for the protective component. By utilizing the protective cover and spring dampers, the impact force of external objects is resisted, thus providing safety protection for the camera assembly.

[0011] In a further preferred embodiment, the longitudinal cross-section of the mounting plate is "L"-shaped, and its transverse cross-section is arc-shaped, which facilitates the mounting plate to be vertically attached to the substrate and fixed with bolts, thereby installing the spring damper and protective components on the top of the fuselage carrier.

[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, a mounting area is provided at the center of the top of the substrate, and a rotating assembly is bolted in the mounting area to facilitate the connection and installation of the substrate and the rotating assembly.

[0013] In a further preferred embodiment, the top of both the protective plate and the top of the protective cover are inclined downwards to facilitate the sliding off of rainwater.

[0014] In a further preferred embodiment, the protective cover is made of composite plastic, which is lightweight and strong.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention provides a protective device at the top of the camera body, which facilitates the protection of the camera component. The flexible protective component prevents the exposed camera component from being damaged by impacts from external objects in the environment. At the same time, the protective component can also shield the camera component from direct sunlight, preventing it from overheating. This achieves safety protection for the camera component and improves the safety of its use.

[0017] This utility model provides protection and sunshade for the camera component by setting up protective parts, and facilitates rapid air replacement at the bottom of the protective plate by setting up a fan, thereby achieving rapid heat dissipation of the camera component. Furthermore, the fan can be shielded by screwing in the protective cover to ensure safety when the fan is not in use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a six-legged robot body structure with a flexible torso, including a body carrier 1, feet 2, a rotating component 4, a mounting base 5, and a camera component 6. The feet 2 are installed on the outer side of the body carrier 1, the mounting base 5 is fixed to the top of the rotating component 4, and the camera component 6 is installed on the right end of the mounting base 5.

[0026] In this embodiment, the rotating component 4 consists of a base, a motor, a rotating shaft, and a turntable. The motor drives the rotating shaft and turntable to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting base 5 and the camera component 6 on the top to rotate, thereby realizing circumferential environmental monitoring.

[0027] Please see Figure 2-4 This utility model provides a six-legged robot body structure with a flexible torso. The protective device 3 is bolted to the top of the body carrier 1, and a rotating component 4 is installed in the middle of it. The protective device 3 includes a base plate 31, a mounting area 32, a mounting plate 33, a support rod 34, a spring damper 35, and a protective component 36. The base plate 31 is bolted to the top of the body carrier 1. The mounting plate 33 is bolted to the base plate 31, and the support rod 34 is fixed to its top. The bottom end of the spring damper 35 is fixed to the support rod 34, and the bottom end of the protective component 36 is fixed to the spring damper 35.

[0028] In this embodiment, multiple sets of spring dampers 35 are evenly distributed at the bottom left and right ends of the protective member 36, facilitating balanced elastic support for the protective member 36. The protective member 36 and spring dampers 35 together resist impact forces from external objects, providing safety protection for the camera assembly 6. The mounting plate 33 has an "L"-shaped longitudinal cross-section and an arc-shaped transverse cross-section, facilitating vertical contact between the mounting plate 33 and the base plate 31, and securing it with bolts. This allows the spring dampers 35 and the protective member 36 to be mounted on the top of the body carrier 1. At the end, the spring damper 35 and the protective component 36 can be installed and disassembled by separating and installing the mounting plate 33 and the base plate 31. The mounting plate 33, the support rod 34, the spring damper 35, and the protective plate 36 constitute the upper part of the protective device 3, and the base plate 31 constitutes the lower part. When maintaining the rotating component 4 and the camera component 6, the upper part of the protective device 3 can be detached for maintenance. The top center of the base plate 31 is provided with a mounting area 32, and the rotating component 4 is bolted in the mounting area 32, which facilitates the connection and installation of the base plate 32 and the rotating component 4.

[0029] Please see Figure 5 This utility model provides a six-legged robot body structure with a flexible torso. The protective component 36 includes a protective plate 361, a mounting plate 362, a fan 363, and a protective cover 364. The mounting plate 362 is fixed to the bottom end of the protective plate 361 and is bolted to the spring damper 35. The fan 363 is installed in the middle of the protective plate 361, and the bottom end of the protective cover 364 is threaded to the protective plate 361.

[0030] In this embodiment, a circular through hole is provided in the middle of the protective plate 361. The circular through hole facilitates the installation of the fan 363 and the protective cover 364. The installation of the protective cover 364 provides rain protection for the fan 363, and a rubber pad is fixed at the bottom of the protective cover 364 to enhance the tightness of the connection. The removal of the protective cover 364 facilitates the start-up of the fan 363, accelerates the air circulation at the bottom, and thus accelerates the heat dissipation of the bottom camera component 6. The tops of the protective plate 361 and the protective cover 364 are both inclined downwards to facilitate the sliding off of rainwater.

[0031] See Figures 1-5 In use, the protective plate 361 with elastic connection protects the camera component 6 to prevent impact objects from directly hitting the camera component 6. When the protective plate 361 is hit, the force is transmitted to the spring damper 35, and the spring damper 35 consumes the force to achieve shock absorption and reduce the force on the body. In addition, the protective plate 361 also shades the camera component 6 to prevent sunlight from directly hitting the camera component 6.

[0032] When the camera component 6 has been running for a long time and the ambient temperature is too high due to continuous heat, the protective cover 364 can be removed and the fan 363 can be turned on to accelerate the rapid replacement of air around the camera component 6 and achieve heat dissipation.

[0033] Furthermore, by rotating component 4, the camera component 6 is driven to perform 360° monitoring of the surrounding environment.

[0034] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and wiring layout will not be explained in detail.

[0035] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
