Detailed Implementation

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1-3 , Figure 11 As shown, a quadruped robot body includes a main body 1 with a receiving cavity 2, a top cover 3 connected to the top of the main body 1 for sealing the receiving cavity 2, a battery unit 4, and a control unit 5.

[0036] The direction of the line connecting the head and tail of the quadruped robot is defined as the length direction of the robot body; the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the head and tail is defined as the width direction of the robot body; and the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the head and tail is defined as the height direction of the robot body. The location of the top cover 3 is defined as the top of the robot body; the two sides of the top cover 3 are defined as the sides of the robot body; and the position opposite to the top cover 3 is defined as the bottom of the robot body.

[0037] The receiving cavity 2 includes a first cavity 21 and a second cavity 22 arranged adjacent to each other along the width direction of the fuselage, that is, the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22 both extend along the entire length direction of the fuselage. Of course, in other embodiments, the receiving cavity 2 may also include a third cavity, a fourth cavity, etc., and there is no specific limitation. The arrangement of the first cavity 21, the second cavity 22, the third cavity, and the fourth cavity is also not limited, that is, the first cavity 21 and the second cavity 22 are not arranged adjacent to each other. The battery unit 4 is disposed in the first cavity 21 and has a first opening 211 on the side of the first cavity 21, so that the battery unit 4 can enter and exit the first cavity 21 through the first opening 211.

[0038] The control unit 5 is disposed within the second cavity 22, and a transfer cavity 6 is further formed within the second cavity 22. The top of the transfer cavity 6 is open, and the top cover 3 has a corresponding insertion window 31 for the transfer cavity 6. Of course, the transfer cavity 6 can also be disposed independently of the second cavity 22, that is, the receiving cavity 2 includes the first cavity 21, the second cavity 22, and the transfer cavity 6.

[0039] The control unit 5 is centrally located in the second cavity 22 on one side of the machine body. This means that easily damaged components are concentrated in the second cavity 22, allowing for direct operation within this space when maintenance or replacement is needed. The second cavity 22 extends the entire length of the machine body, providing ample space for the installation of the control unit 5, and its placement also minimizes the risk of damage from impacts. Furthermore, the insertion window 31 faces the adapter cavity 6, allowing the plug to be directly inserted into the adapter cavity 6 through the insertion window 31 for convenient connection.

[0040] like Figure 3 , Figure 13 As shown, the adapter cavity 6 has a mounting panel 61 with multiple connectors 62 facing the insertion window 31. In this embodiment, the mounting panel 61 is horizontally positioned, and the connectors 62 are vertically upward. To isolate the adapter cavity 6 from the remaining space of the second cavity 22, the adapter cavity 6 has sidewalls 63, including three sidewalls surrounding the outer periphery of the mounting panel 61. The top of the adapter cavity 6 is open, corresponding to the insertion window 31 of the top cover 3.

[0041] To prevent liquids or impurities from entering the receiving cavity 2 through the insertion window 31, a waterproof deformation element 32 is provided in the insertion window 31, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the waterproof deformable part 32 is made of elastic materials such as silicone, forming a small slit 33. When there is no external force, the slit 33 automatically closes. When an external force is applied to the waterproof deformable part 32, the slit 33 opens, and the plug can enter the second cavity 22 through the open slit 33. Once the external force is stopped, the slit 33 automatically closes, thereby effectively sealing the insertion window 31.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 As shown, the second cavity 22 has a second opening 221 on its side corresponding to the position of the adapter cavity 6, and the second opening 221 is provided with a cover 222. By opening the cover 222, the interior of the adapter cavity 6 can be directly observed, and the plug can be directly inserted into the adapter cavity 6 to connect the plug and the connector 62, which facilitates quick plug-in.

[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 10 As shown, the control unit 5 includes a housing 51 arranged along the height of the body, a control chip 52 disposed within the housing 51, a wire assembly (not shown) for electrically connecting the connector 62 and the control chip 52, and a heat dissipation unit 53. That is, the control chip 52 is vertically disposed within the housing 51, which in turn is disposed within the main body 1. During the operation of the quadruped robot, the core components of the control unit 5 will not be damaged by impacts.

[0044] The main body 1 includes a housing 11, which is located in the second cavity 22 and is attached to the housing 51 on the side away from the battery unit 4. The adapter cavity 6 is formed inside the housing 11, and the heat dissipation unit 53 is also located inside the housing 11. A heat dissipation window 223 is provided on the outer side of the housing 11 corresponding to the position of the heat dissipation unit 53.

[0045] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation unit 53 is a cooling fan, with its back facing the control chip 52 and its front facing the heat dissipation window 223. It can quickly dissipate the heat emitted by the control chip 52 and prevent the control chip 52 from overheating locally. Multiple heat dissipation fins 112 are provided on the side of the housing 11 that is in contact with the housing 51. These heat dissipation fins 112 are oriented towards the adapter cavity 6 to help dissipate heat.

[0046] The housing 11 also provides protection for the control unit 5, especially for the core part of the control unit 5 - the control chip 52.

[0047] The top of the aforementioned adapter cavity 6 is open, and the adapter cavity 6 is located inside the housing 11. Therefore, a through hole 111 is formed on the top of the housing 11 at the position corresponding to the plug-in window 31. When a plug needs to be plugged in, the plug's wires pass through the plug-in window 31 and the through hole 111.

[0048] like Figure 9 , Figures 10-12 As shown, the housing 51 has a connection port 54 on its side. After being bent, the connection port 54 faces the gap 212 on the side of the battery unit 4 inside the first cavity 21. The connection port 54 is used to connect antennas and other wires. The gap 212 is used to accommodate the wires. Thus, the plugs with wires at the head and tail can be electrically connected to the control unit 5 through the connection port 54, which facilitates the control unit 5 to supply power or transmit signals to the outside. The length of the wire does not need to be too long. The layout is reasonable and makes full use of the space at both ends of the accommodating cavity 2. The plugging operation is convenient. Just open the top cover 3.

[0049] Battery cell 4 includes at least two battery bodies 41, such as Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the battery unit 4 includes two battery bodies 41, and the number of first openings 211 corresponds to the number of battery bodies 41, that is, the number of first openings 211 is also two. Thus, each battery body 41 can be individually removed from the first cavity 21 for replacement through the first opening 211. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of first openings 211 can be one, or a number that does not correspond to the number of battery bodies 41; there is no specific limitation.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate charging of the battery body 41, a contact charging port 12 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1, so that the main body 1 can be directly placed on the contact charging source for charging.

[0051] The top cover 3 is provided with a fixing bracket 34 for connecting external components. The fixing bracket 34 extends along the length of the main body 1, increasing the area where the fixing bracket 34 connects to the external components.

[0052] The above specific embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications and changes made to the present utility model within the spirit and scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
