Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of robotics technology, specifically a robot battery quick replacement and fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] A robot is an intelligent machine capable of semi-autonomous or fully autonomous operation. Robots can perform tasks such as manual labor or movement through programming and automatic control. They possess fundamental characteristics such as perception, decision-making, and execution, and can assist or even replace humans in dangerous, arduous, and complex tasks, improving work efficiency and quality, serving human life, and expanding or extending the scope of human activities and capabilities. With the development of battery technology, existing robots can operate wirelessly by carrying modular energy storage batteries.

[0003] Existing robot chassis typically use snap-fit ​​or plug-in methods to secure batteries. While this method is secure, the number of batteries a robot carries is usually not fixed depending on testing or usage requirements. Existing battery securing methods cannot adjust the securing space according to the number of batteries, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a quick battery replacement and fixing device for robots to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a robot battery quick replacement and fixing device, which aims to solve the problems of poor flexibility of existing battery fixing mechanisms mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a robot battery quick-change and fixing device, comprising a U-shaped base for accommodating the battery, and an adjustable fixing mechanism disposed on the base for fixing the battery.

[0007] The base is equipped with a bracket for arranging and supporting different numbers of batteries.

[0008] The adjustable fixing mechanism includes a groove on the base that fits the bracket. A sliding groove is formed within the groove, and a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably mounted within the sliding groove. One end of the bidirectional lead screw extends through the base and beyond its outer surface, with a knob fixedly mounted at the end. Two symmetrically distributed sliders are screwed onto the bidirectional lead screw. Support bars that fit the groove are fixedly mounted on the sliders. Each support bar has protrusions at both ends. The bracket has a long groove that fits the protrusions, and the long groove is fitted onto the protrusions. In use, a corresponding number of batteries are fixed to the corresponding bracket. Rotating the knob rotates the bidirectional lead screw, causing the sliders to move in opposite directions within the sliding groove, thus adjusting the position of the support bars on the sliders to fit the width of the bracket. The long groove on the bracket is then aligned with the protrusion and inserted. Rotating the knob again moves the protrusion to lock the long groove, completing the fixing process. The adjustment is flexible and convenient, facilitating battery replacement and fixing.

[0009] Preferably, in order to fix the base, the base has mounting holes in the groove, and the mounting holes are distributed at the four corners to complete the installation of the base and facilitate operation.

[0010] Preferably, to improve support stability, the thickness of the support strip is the same as the depth of the groove, and the support strip is slidably installed in the groove, working with the base body to support the bottom of the battery, resulting in better stability.

[0011] Preferably, for stable connection, screws are fixedly installed on both ends of the support bar, and the protrusions are screwed onto the screws. The diameter of the protrusions gradually increases from the end closest to the surface of the support bar to the end furthest from the surface of the support bar. The maximum diameter of the protrusions is smaller than the width of the long groove, further ensuring the stability of the fixation.

[0012] Preferably, in order to secure the battery, the bracket is provided with several positioning holes, and the outer wall of the battery housing is provided with threaded holes that are compatible with the positioning holes, so that it is not easy to accidentally detach and is stable and reliable.

[0013] This fixing device secures a corresponding number of batteries to the corresponding brackets. Then, turning the knob drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, which in turn causes the slider to move in opposite directions within the groove, thereby adjusting the position of the support bar on the slider to match the width of the bracket. Then, the long slot on the bracket is aligned with the protrusion and inserted. Finally, the knob is turned again, and the protrusion is moved to lock the long slot, completing the fixing. The adjustment is flexible and convenient, facilitating battery replacement and fixing.

[0014] This fixing device determines the number of batteries to be installed, then selects the corresponding number of brackets, and fixes the batteries by bolts passing through the positioning holes and threaded holes at the bottom of the bracket. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the batteries. The bolts are located at the bottom of the bracket and are covered by the groove, so they are not easy to come loose accidentally, making it stable and reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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 some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a device for quick battery replacement and securing in a robot, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the fixing device includes a U-shaped base 2 for accommodating the battery 1, and an adjustable fixing mechanism 3 mounted on the base 2 for fixing the battery 1.

[0024] The base 2 is equipped with a bracket 4 for arranging and supporting different numbers of batteries 1;

[0025] The adjustable fixing mechanism 3 includes a groove 31 on the base 2 that is adapted to the bracket 4. A sliding groove 32 is provided in the groove 31. A bidirectional lead screw 33 is rotatably installed in the sliding groove 32. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 33 passes through the base 2 and extends to the outside of the base 2, and a knob 34 is fixedly installed at the end. Two symmetrically distributed sliders 35 are screwed onto the bidirectional lead screw 33. A support bar 36 adapted to the groove 31 is fixedly installed on the slider 35. A protrusion 37 is provided at both ends of the support bar 36. A long groove 41 adapted to the protrusion 37 is provided on the bracket 4. The long groove 41 is sleeved on the protrusion 37.

[0026] In use, fix the corresponding number of batteries 1 on the corresponding bracket 4, then turn the knob 34 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 33 to rotate. The bidirectional lead screw 33 drives the slider 35 to move in opposite directions within the slide groove 32, thereby adjusting the position of the support bar 36 on the slider 35 to fit the width of the bracket 4. Then, align the long groove 41 on the bracket 4 with the protrusion 37 and insert it. Then, turn the knob 34 again to move the protrusion 37 to lock the long groove 41, thus completing the fixation. The adjustment is flexible and convenient, making it easy to replace and fix the batteries 1.

[0027] Specifically, mounting holes 21 are provided in the grooves 31 on the base 2, and the mounting holes 21 are distributed at the four corners.

[0028] In use, the base 2 is installed on the robot mounting surface and fixed by inserting bolts into the mounting holes 21 to complete the installation of the base 2, which is convenient for operation.

[0029] More specifically, the thickness of the support bar 36 is the same as the depth of the groove 31, and the support bar 36 is slidably installed in the groove 31.

[0030] It is understandable that the purpose of setting the groove 31 is to place the support bar 36. The reason for setting the support bar 36 is to increase the support area and improve the support stability of the battery 1. By designing that the support bar 36 does not protrude from the groove 31, it works in conjunction with the base 2 body to support the bottom of the battery 1, resulting in better stability.

[0031] Furthermore, screws 361 are fixedly installed on the support bar 36 at both ends, and protrusions 37 are screwed onto the screws 361. The diameter of the protrusions 37 gradually increases from the end closest to the surface of the support bar 36 to the end furthest from the surface of the support bar 36. The maximum diameter of the protrusions 37 is less than the width of the long groove 41.

[0032] In use, the protruding post 37 is screwed onto the screw 361 to complete the installation of the protruding post 37, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance. In addition, the variable diameter design of the protruding post 37 can prevent the bracket 4 from moving longitudinally when it contacts the side wall of the long groove 41 through the side wall, further ensuring the stability of the fixation.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Unlike Embodiment 1, in order to accommodate the installation of the battery 1, the bracket 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 42, and the outer wall of the battery 1 is provided with threaded holes 11 that are compatible with the positioning holes 42.

[0035] When using, determine the number of batteries 1 that need to be installed, then select the corresponding number of brackets 4, and use bolts to screw the batteries 1 through the positioning holes 42 and threaded holes 11 at the bottom of the brackets 4 to fix them in place. This makes it easy to disassemble and replace the batteries. The bolts are located at the bottom of the brackets 4 and are covered by the grooves 31, so they are not easy to come loose accidentally, making them stable and reliable.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
