Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a structural component of a hair blower robot, and in particular to a counterweight support base for the hair blower robot. Background Technology

[0002] A hair-drying robot is a vertical intelligent hair-drying device. During operation, a movable support at the top drives the hair dryer to move around the user's hair area to dry the hair. Because the movable support needs to install transmission devices, motors, and other functional components, and is constantly changing in its extension, contraction, and rotation states during operation, the overall center of gravity also changes constantly. To ensure the stability of the entire device, a counterweight on the base is needed to balance the overall center of gravity.

[0003] The counterweight bases of other types of products on the market can be divided into two types of structures and processing methods. One type of counterweight base is processed by pressing with mineral sand molds. The advantage of this processing method is low material cost, but the disadvantage is low density and low strength. The other type of counterweight base is processed by casting with cast iron. The advantage of this processing method is that it can process complex parts, such as curved parts, but the disadvantage is that the process is complex and the cost is high. Utility Model Content

[0012] In one possible implementation, the bracket connection position is a columnar shell constructed vertically upward from the intersection of the upper shells, with the upper and lower end faces of the columnar shell being through, and the columnar shell having a hollow space to accommodate the bracket connection assembly.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the first counterweight section and the second counterweight section are respectively fixed to the bottom shell by fasteners.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the bracket connector is provided with a screw mounting part, the screw mounting part having a through hole, and the bottom of the column adapter is provided with a screw fixing part, the screw fixing part having a screw hole.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the upper opening of the bracket connector has a first conical surface, and the entrance of the through hole at the bottom of the bracket connector has a second conical surface, wherein the first conical surface and the second conical surface are coaxial.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the column adapter includes an adapter body sleeved within the bracket connecting seat, the upper part of the adapter body is provided with a column connecting part, and the bottom of the adapter body is provided with a connecting part that connects with the bottom fastener.

[0029] The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, clarifies that the described embodiments are only a portion, not all, of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the following embodiments without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] It should be understood that if the controllers or control circuits involved in the embodiments are conventional control technologies or units for those skilled in the art, such as the control circuits of the controllers, they can be implemented by those skilled in the art using existing technologies.

[0031] The disclosure of the embodiments provides many different implementations or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model. To simplify the disclosure of this utility model, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described in the embodiments. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in the embodiments; this repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various implementations and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, if examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in the embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0032] To gain a deeper understanding of the technical content and the technical problems solved by the various embodiments of this application, the problems faced by existing similar bases will be explained first. Existing cast iron discs are used as counterweights for various vertical electrical appliances, such as hair dryer robots and floor lamps, especially for such devices with a large lateral extension length at the top or heavy end components. In order to balance the center of gravity, counterweights are usually needed at the base. Using cast iron discs for counterweights is the most common structural form. Cast iron discs are cast using molds. The mold forming cavity can be used to process counterweight bases with relatively complex structures, but the mold cost and casting processing cost are higher.

[0033] In addition, steel is a material with a higher density than cast iron. The volume of steel of the same weight is smaller than that of cast iron. However, processing steel into specific shapes requires higher processing conditions. For example, when forming similar molds, steel has a higher melting point than cast iron, and the processing environment and mold requirements are higher. When using machining, high-specification processing equipment is required, and the efficiency is relatively low.

[0034] In view of the above-mentioned processing background, the first embodiment of the present invention provides a counterweight base for a hair-drying robot. Through structural design and the use of standard-specification materials for structural fit, the shape and size of the base can be easily controlled. Figure 1-3 As shown, the hair-drying robot counterweight base in the first embodiment includes a counterweight component and a housing component, wherein the counterweight component is disposed within the housing component.

[0035] The counterweight assembly includes a first counterweight section 101 and a second counterweight section 102, wherein the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are arranged in an overlapping manner.

[0036] The first counterweight segment 101 and the second counterweight segment 102 described in this embodiment are metal segments of a certain length cut from standard metal materials. In this embodiment, a steel segment is used as an example. A steel segment with a rectangular cross-section needs to be cut to obtain the corresponding first counterweight segment 101 and second counterweight segment 102. The cutting length of the first counterweight segment 101 and the second counterweight segment 102 can be cut according to the actual size of the product and the counterweight requirements.

[0037] The cross arrangement described in this embodiment indicates that the first counterweight segment 101 and the second counterweight segment 102 have an intersection point during assembly, such as an X-shaped intersection, a T-shaped intersection, a V-shaped intersection, etc. The intersection point of the first counterweight segment 101 and the second counterweight segment 102 during assembly is not limited to the intersection point being located at the midpoint of one of the segments.

[0038] The first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are usually straight sections cut from a long strip of raw material. They can also be further processed before assembly, for example, processed into an arc or wave shape before assembly. It is necessary to keep at least the bottom surface of the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 as a plane.

[0039] The housing assembly includes a bottom shell 201 and an upper shell 202. The bottom shell 201 and the upper shell 202 have a cross structure that matches the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102. The bottom shell 201 and / or the upper shell 202 are provided with a hollow structure to accommodate the first counterweight section 201 and the second counterweight section 102.

[0040] Since the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 have a cross structure, the housing assembly also needs to have the same cross structure in order to accommodate the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102. The cross structure of the housing assembly also determines the shape, size, and design of the base. In actual products, the cross shape can be designed based on the shape, size, and design requirements of the base, and then the corresponding first counterweight section 101 and second counterweight section 102 can be matched in combination with the counterweight requirements to integrate functionality and design requirements.

[0041] The upper shell 202 is provided with a bracket connection position 203, and a bracket connection component 3 is provided in the bracket connection position 203. The bracket connection component 3 is fixed on the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102.

[0042] Since the base in this embodiment is used as the bottom support of the hair drying robot, it needs to be connected to a support such as a column. The support connection position 203 is part of the upper shell 202, and the support connection component 3 is used to connect and install the base part and the support part.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are both indivisible whole counterweight materials.

[0044] In actual production, depending on the material condition, the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 can also be two material sections that are spliced ​​or assembled.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, regarding the mating structure of the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102, the first counterweight section 101 is provided with a first mating groove 103, and the second counterweight section 102 is provided with a second mating groove 104. The first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are fastened together through the first mating groove 103 and the second mating groove 104, so that the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are at least on the same horizontal plane at the bottom.

[0046] By interlocking the first mating groove 103 and the second mating groove 104, the height of the mating structure can be reduced while forming an integrated structure of the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102. Furthermore, the first mating groove 103 and the second mating groove 104 are CNC machined, eliminating the need for high-specification machining equipment or mold forming, thus significantly reducing manufacturing costs.

[0047] Because of the above structure, the counterweight base in this embodiment can use standard-sized counterweight materials as the first and second counterweight sections, such as strip steel or iron blocks, which makes manufacturing and processing simpler and reduces manufacturing and processing costs. At the same time, the cross structure also greatly reduces the footprint of the base and increases the freedom of the base's shape and structure.

[0048] As a specific solution, the second embodiment of this application provides a specific cross structure and the cooperation structure of each component based on the first embodiment.

[0049] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and combined Figure 6 As shown, in the second embodiment, the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are two steel sections of the same specification and length, and are orthogonal at the center to form a cross-shaped intersecting structure. In order to form the cross-shaped intersecting structure, in this embodiment, the first mating groove 103 is located in the middle of the first counterweight section 101, and the second mating groove 104 is located in the middle of the second counterweight section 102. The extension direction of the first mating groove is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first counterweight section 101, and the extension direction of the second mating groove is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second counterweight section 102.

[0050] Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are on the same plane after installation, the depth of the first mating groove 103 is half the height of the first counterweight section 101, and the depth of the second mating groove 104 is half the height of the second counterweight section 102.

[0051] Due to the above-mentioned structural arrangement of the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102, the overall base also forms an equal and orthogonal structural shape. Therefore, the vertical bracket is most stable when installed at the center of the overall structure, i.e., the intersection. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the bracket connection position 203 is a columnar shell constructed vertically upward from the intersection of the upper shell 202. The upper and lower end faces of the columnar shell are connected, and the columnar shell has a hollow space to accommodate the bracket connection assembly.

[0052] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to install the counterweight assembly consisting of the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 and the shell assembly consisting of the bottom shell 201 and the top shell 202 into a structural whole, the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are respectively fixed to the bottom shell 201 and the top shell 202 by fasteners.

[0053] Based on the second embodiment described above, a third embodiment is further proposed. The third embodiment mainly provides a specific structure of the bracket connection component and its mating structure with the base.

[0054] like Figures 7-10 As shown, in the third embodiment, the bracket connection assembly 3 includes a bracket connection seat 301 and a column adapter 302. The bracket connection seat 301 is sleeved within the column-shaped housing of the bracket connection position 203. The bracket connection seat 301 has an internal cavity with an opening at the top, and the column adapter 302 is installed in the internal cavity. Through the above structural design, the bracket connection position 203, the bracket connection seat 301, and the column adapter 302 form a structure of sequential nesting.

[0055] In the above structure, the bracket connecting seat is actually the structural basis for the transition between the base and the column. During installation, the bracket connecting seat must first be stably installed to ensure the stability of the column adapter 302 after it is connected to the column. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the bracket connecting seat 301 is provided with a connecting fixing part 303 on its outer side. The connecting fixing part 303 is fixed to the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102. Since the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are arranged in a cross pattern, four fixing parts 303 can be provided on the bracket connecting seat 301. Each fixing part 303 is installed in the corresponding first counterweight section 101 or second counterweight section 102 by screws.

[0056] Since the components of this type of base are assembled, they are usually packaged separately during packaging and transportation, and then assembled by the user. In order to facilitate the user to install the shell assembly, counterweight assembly and bracket connecting assembly into one unit, in this embodiment, the bottom of the bracket connecting seat 301 is provided with a screw mounting part 304, and the screw mounting part 304 is provided with a through hole 305. The bottom of the column adapter 302 is provided with a screw fixing part 306, and the screw fixing part is provided with a screw hole 307.

[0057] During installation, the first counterweight section 101 and the second counterweight section 102 are first interlocked in a cross shape and then fastened to the bracket connecting seat 301 at the connecting fixing part 303 using fasteners. Then, the upper shell 202 is installed on the first counterweight section 101, the second counterweight section 102 and the bracket connecting seat 301. Finally, the bottom shell 201 is assembled from the bottom to the first counterweight section 101, the second counterweight section 102, the bracket connecting seat 301 and the upper shell 202 as a whole using fasteners.

[0058] As can be seen from the above installation process, the through hole 305 at the bottom of the bracket connector 301 and the screw hole 307 at the bottom of the column adapter 302 need to be well coaxially aligned so that the bottom fastener can be aligned with the screw hole 307 after passing through the through hole 305. If there is misalignment, it will cause the bottom fastener to be skewed. When the skew angle is large, the bottom fastener cannot enter the screw hole 307 to achieve a tight installation. When the skew angle is small, although the bottom fastener can enter the screw hole 307, the threads of the bottom fastener and the threads of the screw hole 307 cannot be accurately matched, which can easily cause thread damage, making repeated disassembly and assembly difficult, and making the installation of the fastener more laborious. Moreover, a more prominent problem is that, since the upper swing arm and blower head of the hair dryer robot have drive motors and transmission components, and the swing arm performs extension, retraction, and deflection within a certain range during operation, the center of gravity of the whole machine is constantly changing in the horizontal direction, which can easily cause the base to shake. To address these issues, preferably, the upper opening of the bracket connector 301 has a first conical surface 308, and the entrance of the through hole at the bottom of the bracket connector has a second conical surface 309. The first conical surface 308 and the second conical surface 309 are coaxial. Since the first conical surface 308 and the second conical surface 309 are located on the same component, the coaxial design and machining of the two conical surfaces can be ensured. A third conical surface 310 is provided on the circumference of the column connector 302 that contacts the first conical surface 308.

[0059] By setting the first conical surface 308 and the second conical surface 309 to be coaxial, not only can the components be assembled more accurately, but the fit between the components can also be made tighter through the conical surface cooperation, which improves the stability of the base support, greatly reduces the vibration of the base, and enables the base to provide more stable support.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the column adapter includes an adapter body sleeved within the bracket connecting seat, the upper part of the adapter body is provided with a column connecting part, and the bottom of the adapter body is provided with a connecting part that connects with the bottom fastener.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the scope of disclosure of the embodiments of the present application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the description and drawings of the embodiments of the present application, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection supported by the embodiments of the present application.
