[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot protective clothing technology, and in particular to a modular quadruped robot protective clothing. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and the improvement of industrial automation, the application of industrial robots is gradually increasing. Industrial robots often operate in harsh environments, leading to the development of robot protective suits. These suits not only create a stable working environment for the robot but also help it resist external aggression, thereby reducing maintenance costs and extending its lifespan to some extent.

[0003] In recent years, both domestic and international researchers have developed quadruped robots through biomimetic design to replace humans in navigating known or unknown dangerous locations. These locations primarily involve hazards such as dust, sand, rain, snow, and hail. Furthermore, quadruped robots must withstand increasingly severe environments contaminated by nuclear, chemical, and biological pollution. Therefore, quadruped robots especially need to wear protective suits to ensure their lifespan.

[0004] Existing protective suits for quadruped robots are generally designed using the same methods as human clothing, taking the robot's main body as the starting point for a one-piece wrap, and incorporating motion compensation based on design experience. Such protective suits are usually bulky and loose, while quadruped robots are usually designed to have a large range of motion in order to adapt to complex and ever-changing harsh environments. Therefore, existing protective suits are not conducive to quadruped robots performing tasks. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the technical shortcomings of existing quadruped robot protective suits, which are bulky and loose and not conducive to performing tasks, this utility model provides a modular quadruped robot protective suit.

[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the solution of this utility model will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0026] In this description, it should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joint" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0028] The following is combined Figure 1 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0029] This embodiment provides a modular quadruped robot protective suit, including a main protective suit 1, a head protective suit 4, a leg protective suit 2, and a foot protective suit 3.

[0030] It should be noted that the main material of the protective suit is a multi-functional coated fabric, and the functional coating can be selected according to the actual use scenario; the protective suit is formed by sewing and splicing, and the splicing is treated with heat-pressed adhesive strips to meet the protection requirements.

[0031] The main protective suit 1 is used to wrap around the body of the quadruped robot. The top of the main protective suit 1 has a first connecting opening. The main protective suit 1 has an installation opening corresponding to the torso of the quadruped robot. The abdomen and the front and back sides of the main protective suit 1 together form a strip-shaped first opening and closing opening so that the main protective suit 1 can wrap around the body of the quadruped robot from top to bottom.

[0032] Specifically, the first opening and closing is achieved through hook and loop fasteners and straps. That is, male and female hooks are set on both sides of the first opening and closing, and the sealing and closing are achieved by the adhesion of the male and female hooks. Straps are set on both sides of the first opening and closing, and the connection is further improved by the straps.

[0033] Furthermore, the main protective suit 1 is equipped with a viewing window 5 corresponding to the eyes of the quadruped robot, which can meet the robot's vision requirements.

[0034] The head protective suit 4 is used to wrap around the head of the quadruped robot. The bottom of the head protective suit 4 has a second connection opening, and the second connection opening is connected to the first connection opening.

[0035] It should be noted that setting the head protective suit 4 separately has two advantages: First, setting the head protective suit 4 separately eliminates the need to consider the main protective suit 1's avoidance of the robot's head, making it easier to achieve a close fit between the protective suit and the quadruped robot; Second, since the functional modules mounted on the top of the quadruped robot can be replaced as needed, setting the head protective suit 4 separately means that only the head protective suit 4 needs to be replaced when changing functions, without having to replace the entire protective suit, thus improving replacement efficiency and reducing costs.

[0036] Specifically, the first connection opening and the second connection opening are sealed together by the first waterproof zipper 8. The waterproof zipper is a mature structure in this field and will not be described in detail here. The main protective suit 1 and the head protective suit 4 are connected by the first waterproof zipper 8. While achieving the basic connection function, it also has a waterproof effect, enabling the quadruped robot to walk in rainy environments.

[0037] Furthermore, the head protective suit 4 is equipped with a lidar transparent window 6 corresponding to the lidar part of the quadruped robot, and the head protective suit 4 is equipped with an antenna transparent window 7 corresponding to the antenna part of the quadruped robot. The transparent windows can ensure the transmission of light and meet the functional requirements of the quadruped robot.

[0038] The leg protective suit 2 is used to wrap around the torso of the quadruped robot. The leg protective suit 2 has a second opening on the side so that the leg protective suit 2 can wrap around the torso of the quadruped robot from the side. The leg protective suit 2 also has a telescopic part 9 corresponding to the knee joint of the quadruped robot.

[0039] It should be noted that the design of the second opening allows the leg protective suit 2 to wrap around the torso of the quadruped robot from the side, without having to consider the differences in thickness between different parts of the quadruped robot's torso, which is more conducive to ensuring a close fit between the leg protective suit 2 and the quadruped robot's torso.

[0040] Specifically, the second opening and closing is achieved through hook and loop fasteners and straps. That is, male and female hooks are set on both sides of the second opening and closing, and the sealing and closing are achieved by the adhesion of the male and female hooks; straps are set on both sides of the second opening and closing, and the connection is further improved by the straps.

[0041] It should be noted that the connection between the leg protective suit 2 and the main protective suit 1 is not limited. It can be fixed separately without connection, or it can be connected to form an integral structure. For example, this embodiment adopts the latter solution, where the leg protective suit 2 is connected to the mounting opening of the main protective suit 1 through the second waterproof zipper 11. This can improve the stability of the overall structure of the protective suit and also improve its waterproof capability.

[0042] Specifically, the telescopic part 9 is a pleat. The pleat is a structure formed by folding and sewing, which has a certain degree of elasticity. It can meet the needs of the quadruped robot's knee joint movement and also compensate for the asymmetrical displacement formed at the leg protective suit 2 during the quadruped robot's movement, thus saving space and improving the appearance.

[0043] The foot protective suit 3 is used to wrap around the feet of the quadruped robot, and the top of the foot protective suit 3 is connected to the bottom of the leg protective suit 2 via a connector 10.

[0044] It should be noted that the separate design of the foot protective suit 3 serves two purposes: firstly, because the quadruped robot is large and heavy, it is difficult to put on and take off the legs and feet if they are designed as a single unit, so the foot protective suit 3 is designed separately; secondly, it facilitates the separate replacement of the foot protective suit 3.

[0045] Specifically, the connector 10 is a strap. The strap connects the foot protective suit 3 and the leg protective suit 2 into a whole to improve the overall structural stability of the protective suit.

[0046] More specifically, different needs can be met by overlapping the edges: if spray protection is required, the bottom edge of the leg protective suit 2 can be overlapped with the outside of the top edge of the foot protective suit 3; if the quadruped robot needs to wade through water, the top edge of the foot protective suit 3 can be overlapped with the outside of the bottom edge of the leg protective suit 2.

[0047] The process of wearing the modular quadruped robot protective suit in this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] 1) Wearing the main protective suit 1: First, open the first opening and close the main protective suit 1 from top to bottom and put it on the body of the quadruped robot, so that the head of the quadruped robot passes through the first connecting opening at the top of the main protective suit 1, and at the same time, the torso of the quadruped robot passes through the corresponding mounting opening of the quadruped robot, so that the eyes of the quadruped robot correspond to the viewing window 5. Finally, close the first opening and close the main protective suit 1 so that the main protective suit 1 covers the body of the quadruped robot.

[0049] 2) Wearing the head protective suit 4: First, select the appropriate head protective suit 4 according to the functional modules of the quadruped robot. Then, put the head protective suit 4 on the head of the quadruped robot from top to bottom, so that the laser radar of the quadruped robot corresponds to the laser radar transparent window 6 and the antenna corresponds to the antenna transparent window 7. Finally, connect the first connection opening and the second connection opening through the first waterproof zipper 8, so that the head protective suit 4 covers the head of the quadruped robot.

[0050] 3) Wearing the leg protective suit 2: First, put the leg protective suit 2 on the legs of the quadruped robot from the side, then close the second opening, and finally connect the top of the leg protective suit 2 to the main protective suit 1 through the second waterproof zipper 11, so that the leg protective suit 2 wraps around the legs of the quadruped robot.

[0051] 4) Wearing the foot protective suit 3: First, put the foot protective suit 3 on the feet of the quadruped robot from bottom to top, and then connect the top of the foot protective suit 3 to the bottom of the leg protective suit 2 through the connector 10, so that the foot protective suit 3 wraps around the feet of the quadruped robot.
