Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quadruped robot battery technology, specifically a quick-release battery structure for a quadruped robot. Background Technology

[0002] Quadrupedal bionic robots are legged robots designed based on bionic principles. By mimicking the limb structure and movement patterns of quadrupedal animals, they achieve stable walking and operation capabilities in complex terrains. Currently, quadrupedal bionic robot technology is becoming increasingly mature, and the specifications and styles of these robots are diverse. In existing technologies, quadrupedal robots often use simple sensor peripherals to perceive the external environment and thus change their behavior. In the current field of science and mechanical automation, the development of legged robots is rapidly becoming a research and application hotspot. The battery structure of quadrupedal robots is usually optimized for high power requirements, stability, and rapid maintenance, mainly including two types: lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. The design emphasizes integration, protection, and detachability.

[0003] In existing technologies, quadruped robots need overall structural stability to perform complex movements and prevent parts from falling off during movement. Therefore, in terms of battery installation, existing quadruped bionic robots all use mechanical fixing methods, which generally involve combining battery modules and battery compartments and fixing the battery modules and battery compartments with fasteners such as screws, thereby ensuring that the battery can be disassembled and replaced while maintaining stability during use.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technologies have significant beneficial effects, they still have shortcomings:

[0005] When the aforementioned battery is used in a quadruped robot structure, it is mainly carried by a battery compartment fixed to the robot body structure. The battery compartment provides space for housing and protection of the battery module. However, when the battery module is disassembled and replaced, the screws connecting the module to the battery compartment need to be unscrewed one by one and removed. This results in low overall battery removal efficiency, affecting the robot's normal battery life. Furthermore, when the battery is replaced or recharged, multiple sets of screws still need to be fixed one by one, which is inconvenient. Therefore, a quick-release battery structure for quadruped robots is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a quick-release battery structure for a quadruped robot. It consists of a battery module shell and a battery compartment shell, which together form a battery module housing. During disassembly, simply rotating the knob can quickly release the latches locking the battery compartment shell, making disassembly quick and convenient and reducing the number of disassembly steps.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 The quick-release battery structure of a quadruped robot according to this embodiment includes an outer shell 1, a battery module assembly 2 is inserted into one end of the outer shell 1, the outer shell 1 includes a battery compartment shell 101, a power take-up plate 102 is fixed to the rear end of the battery compartment shell 101, external sliding grooves 103 are formed on the outer walls of both ends of the battery compartment shell 101, an mounting plate 104 is fixed to the front end of the battery compartment shell 101, rubber pads 105 are attached to the inner walls of both ends of the mounting plate 104, and screws 106 are passed through both sides of the rubber pads 105.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the battery structure in this utility model is similar to existing battery structures. The main improvement of this utility model lies in the fact that it consists of a battery module shell 201 with a battery module 202 mounted on it and a battery compartment shell 101. During disassembly, simply rotating the knob 210 can quickly release the locking of the latch 206 on the battery compartment shell 101, making disassembly quick and convenient and reducing the number of disassembly steps. In this utility model, the battery module 202 and the power acquisition plate are both existing technologies. When using this battery structure, the user can first pre-install the external battery compartment shell 101 of this battery structure with the quadruped robot being used, and then install the battery... The battery housing 101 is inserted into the robot cavity and fits against it through the rubber pad 105 of the mounting plate 104. Then, the screws 106 on both sides are tightened to complete the installation and fixation. The battery structure uses the external battery housing 101 as a storage compartment. It can be electrically and communicatively connected to the robot through the power take-up plate 102 at the end of the battery housing 101 to ensure normal use after battery installation. Both sides of the battery housing 101 are provided with external sliding grooves 103, which can be used with the screws 106 to maintain the stable installation of the overall structure, thereby providing a stable mounting environment for the battery module assembly 2.

[0027] like Figure 2-4As shown, the battery module assembly 2 includes a battery module housing 201. A battery module 202 is fixed to one end of the battery module housing 201. An electrode contact plate 203 is electrically connected to one end of the battery module 202. Telescopic grooves 204 are provided on both sides of the battery module housing 201. A linkage frame 205 is installed inside the telescopic groove 204. A buckle 206 is fixed to the outer wall of one end of the linkage frame 205.

The battery module housing 201 has inner sliding grooves 211 on both sides. When the battery structure is removed for commemorative purposes, the user can rotate the knob 210. At this time, the knob 210 and the fixed threaded shaft 209 rotate around the center of the handle frame 207 along with the bearing frame 208. The rotating threaded shaft 209 is connected to the battery module housing 201 at one end. The overall handle 207 and the two end linkage frames 205 retract along the telescopic groove 204. At this time, the buckles 206 on the outer wall of the end of the linkage frame 205 retract into the telescopic groove 204, thereby releasing the locking of the inner walls on both sides of the battery compartment housing 101. After the rotation adjustment is completed, the user can directly pull the handle 207 to slide the entire battery module housing 201 out of the battery compartment housing 101 with the inner sliding groove 211, completing the disassembly process. This battery structure mainly consists of a battery module equipped with a battery module 202. The outer shell 201 and the battery compartment shell 101 are combined. The battery module 202 can maintain normal power supply through contact with the power take-up plate 102 via the electrode contact plate 203. At the same time, when disassembling, simply rotate the knob 210 to engage with the connected threaded shaft 209 to extend and retract the overall handle frame 207 and the two side linkage frames 205, thereby quickly releasing the latch 206 from locking the battery compartment shell 101, making it easy to pull out quickly. The disassembly method is quick and convenient, improving the operational efficiency of the robot's cruise use and reducing the disassembly steps.

[0028] When installing the battery module housing 201, simply slide it into the battery compartment housing 101 using the inner sliding grooves 211 at both ends, and then rotate the knob 210 in the opposite direction to extend the handle 207 outward, so that the buckle 206 locks the inner walls of both sides of the battery compartment housing 101 again, thus completing the quick installation process.
