[0043] In existing technologies, robotics has been widely applied in fields such as industrial automation, service robots, medical care, and security inspection. Particularly in compact urban living spaces and confined industrial environments, the spatial adaptability of robots has become a key performance indicator. Currently, robots still occupy a significant amount of space even when folded, often requiring substantial workspace and storage space, which severely limits their deployment and usage efficiency in space-constrained environments.

[0044] This utility model proposes a torso structure.

[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 6As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the torso structure includes: a main body 100, a first folding part 200, a second folding part 300, and at least one third folding part 400. The main body 100 is used to connect to the external head structure 10; the first folding part 200 is connected to the main body 100; the second folding part 300 is used to connect to the external walking structure 20; the third folding part 400 is disposed between the first folding part 200 and the second folding part 300 and connects the first folding part 200 and the second folding part 300 respectively; the first folding part 200, the second folding part 300, and the third folding part 400 are each provided with a driving unit 500. The driving unit 500 is used to enable the torso structure to have a folded state and an extended state. In the folded state, the first folding part 200, the second folding part 300, and the third folding part 400 are stacked. In the extended state, the folding rotation axes of adjacent driving units 500 are staggered and located on opposite sides of the central axis of the main body 100.

[0046] It should be noted that the central axis of the main trunk 100 is the central axis O of the torso structure in its extended state, for reference. Figure 5 As shown, the folding rotation axis can be understood as being located near the outer wall of the torso structure. In this embodiment, the third folding part 400 is located between the first folding part 200 and the second folding part 300. That is, from top to bottom, the torso structure consists of the main body 100, the first folding part 200, the third folding part 400, and the second folding part 300. During folding, the main body 100 and the first folding part 200 rotate relative to the third folding part 400, and the third folding part 400 rotates relative to the second folding part 300. The folding rotation directions between adjacent drive units 500 are opposite, thus achieving stacking. It can be understood that during folding rotation, the rotation revolves around the folding rotation axis of the corresponding drive unit 500. In specific implementation, the folding rotation axes of adjacent drive units 500 are located on opposite sides of the central axis of the main body 100, and the folding rotation axes are close to the ends of each folding part. After folding, a compact stacking arrangement can be achieved without requiring a large space. Of course, it is understandable that any rotation angle can be formed between the first folding part 200 and the third folding part 400, and between the third folding part 400 and the second folding part 300.

[0047] The third folding part 400 may be provided in multiple ways, and the multiple third folding parts 400 are arranged in sequence. The third folding part 400 located at one end is connected to the first folding part 200, the third folding part 400 located at the other end is connected to the second folding part 300, and the other third folding parts 400 are connected in sequence. Adjacent third folding parts 400 can be folded together.

[0048] This utility model's technical solution employs a first folding part 200 connected to the main body 100, with the main body 100 externally connected to a connecting head structure 10, and a second folding part 300 externally connected to a walking structure 20. The first folding part 200, the third folding part 400, and the second folding part 300 are arranged sequentially, and a driving unit 500 drives each of them to rotate around a folding rotation axis to achieve folding. In the folded state, the three parts are stacked sequentially, and the folding rotation axes of adjacent driving units 500 are staggered on opposite sides of the central axis of the main body 100. In this way, during folding, the folding rotation axes between the first folding part 200 and the adjacent third folding part 400, between two adjacent third folding parts 400, and between the third folding part 400 and the second folding part 300 will not interfere with the stacking or occupy folding space, thus achieving tight folding with minimal space occupation, facilitating the deployment and operation of the robot in space-constrained environments.

[0049] In one embodiment, the drive unit 500 includes a power component 510 and a transmission assembly 520. The transmission assembly 520 includes a worm gear 521 and a helical gear 522 that mesh with each other. The power component 510 is connected to the worm gear 521 and drives the worm gear 521 to rotate.

[0050] In the specific implementation process, the power component 510 can adopt a power structure such as a motor or cylinder to drive the worm gear 521 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 521 causes the helical gear 522 to rotate. The helical gear 522 is fixedly connected to the folding rotation shaft, thereby driving the folding rotation shaft to rotate and realize folding. Among them, the folding drive shaft is located in one folding part, and the power component 510 is located in another adjacent folding part. The power component 510 is used to provide the driving force for folding.

[0051] In addition, the drive unit 500 also includes a reduction gear assembly 530, which can reduce the high-speed rotation of the power component 510 to a suitable rotational speed for the first folding section 200, the second folding section 300, and the third folding section 400, while correspondingly increasing the output torque so that the components have sufficient force to complete the corresponding actions. (Reference) Figure 6As shown, the reduction assembly 530 adopts a planetary reduction structure. Specifically, the planetary reduction structure includes a first planetary disk 531, a second planetary disk 532, three first planetary gears (not shown in the figure), three second planetary gears (not shown in the figure), a first sun gear (not shown in the figure), and a second sun gear (not shown in the figure). The first planetary disk 531 has a first output rod and three first input rods on its two sides respectively. The second planetary disk 532 has three second input rods. Each first planetary gear is fitted onto a first input rod, and each second planetary gear is fitted onto a second input rod. The first sun gear is fitted onto the output shaft of the motor and meshes with the three first planetary gears. The second sun gear is fitted onto the first output rod and meshes with the three second planetary gears. The transmission assembly 520 is inserted into the second planetary disk 532. Two-stage reduction is achieved through the meshing of the first sun gear with the three first planetary gears and the meshing of the second sun gear with the three second planetary gears. This multi-stage reduction structure can achieve a large reduction ratio within a small volume, thereby reducing the high-speed rotation of the motor to a lower speed suitable for the movement of the corresponding components, while significantly increasing the output torque. In addition, the planetary reduction gear structure also includes a protective housing 533, which is connected to the motor housing. The first planetary disk 531, the second planetary disk 532, three first planetary gears, three second planetary gears, the first sun gear, and the second sun gear are all located inside the protective housing 533. The motor is connected to the worm gear 521 and drives the worm gear 521 to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear 521 drives the helical gear 522 to rotate. The helical gear 522 is used to output the driving force for the drive unit 500 to rotate.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first folding part 200 includes a first drive shaft 210 and a first connecting frame 220. The folding rotation shaft of the first folding part 200 is configured as the first drive shaft 210. The first drive shaft 210 is fixedly connected to the corresponding helical gear 522 and the first connecting frame 220 respectively. The first connecting frame 220 is used to connect the main body 100. The power component 510 of the first folding part 200 is fixedly disposed on the third folding part 400.

In this way, the drive unit 500 drives the first drive shaft 210 to rotate, which can drive the first connecting frame 220 to rotate, thereby realizing folding.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first connecting frame 220 is provided with a first connecting ear 221, and the first drive shaft 210 is provided with a first connecting disc 211. The first connecting disc 211 is fixedly connected to the first connecting ear 221. The first connecting ear 221 is provided on one side near the first connecting frame 220. There are two first connecting ears 221. The two ends of the first drive shaft 210 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding first connecting ear 221, such as by bolt fastening, so that the first drive shaft 210 is located on one side of the central axis.

[0055] In one embodiment, the first folding portion 200 further includes a first housing 230, which has a first cavity. The transmission component 520 of the first folding portion 200 is disposed within the first cavity. The third folding portion 400 has a third clearance space, and the power component 510 of the first folding portion 200 is disposed within the third clearance space. In specific implementation, the first housing 230 is used to enclose the transmission component 520 of the drive unit 500 to ensure effective transmission. The first housing 230 is fixedly connected to the third folding portion 400. The third clearance space is provided in the middle of the third folding portion 400 to accommodate the first power component 510 of the first folding portion 200, thereby reducing the overall space occupied. It can be understood that among the multiple third folding portions 400, the power component 510 of one folding portion is located within the third clearance space of an adjacent folding portion.

[0056] In one embodiment, the second folding part 300 includes a second drive shaft 310 and a second connecting frame 320.

The second connecting frame 320 is connected to the third folding part 400. The power component 510 of the second folding part 300 is fixedly mounted on the walking structure 20.

[0057] In this embodiment, the folding rotation shaft of the drive unit 500 of the second folding part 300 is configured as the second drive shaft 310, the helical gear 522 is fixedly sleeved on the second drive shaft 310, and the end of the second connecting frame 320 away from the second drive shaft 310 is connected to the walking structure 20. The drive unit 500 of the second folding part 300 is fixed to the walking structure 20. In this way, the drive unit 500 drives the second drive shaft 310 to rotate, which can drive the second connecting frame 320 to rotate, thereby realizing folding relative to the walking structure 20.

[0058] In one embodiment, the second connecting frame 320 is provided with a second connecting ear 321, and the second drive shaft 310 is provided with a second connecting disc 311.

The walking structure 20 includes a fixed frame 21, which has a second clearance space. The power component 510 of the second folding part 300 is located in the second clearance space.

[0060] In practical implementation, the second housing 330 is used to enclose the transmission assembly 520 of the drive unit 500 to ensure effective transmission. The second housing 330 is fixedly connected to the walking structure 20. The walking structure 20 has a fixing frame 21, which is used to fix the power component 510 of the second folding part 300. The fixing frame 21 has a second clearance space to accommodate the second power component 510 of the second folding part 300, thereby realizing the folding of the second folding part 300 into the walking structure 20 to reduce the overall space occupied.

[0061] In one embodiment, the third folding portion 400 includes a third drive shaft 410 and a third connecting frame 420. The folding rotation shaft of the third folding portion 400 is configured as the third drive shaft 410. The third drive shaft 410 is fixedly connected to the corresponding helical gear 522 and the third connecting frame 420 respectively. The third connecting frame 420 is used to connect the first folding portion 200 or the adjacent third folding portion 400. The power component 510 of the third folding portion 400 is fixedly disposed on the second folding portion 300 or the adjacent third folding portion 400.

[0062] In this embodiment, the folding rotation shaft of the drive unit 500 of the third folding portion 400 is configured as a third drive shaft 410. A helical gear 522 is fixedly sleeved on the third drive shaft 410.
