Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, and more specifically, to a load-bearing shell for a robotic dog with good protective sealing performance. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of robotics technology, robot dogs are increasingly being used in industrial inspection, security rescue, environmental monitoring, and other fields. As a key component that carries various functional modules when a robot dog performs its tasks, the performance of the load-bearing shell directly affects the overall operational stability and service life of the robot dog.
[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered that existing robot dog payload shells have certain deficiencies in terms of protective sealing. When the robot dog operates in complex environments such as humid, dusty, or liquid-splashed scenarios, external moisture and dust can easily enter the interior through the shell's gaps, corroding the internal precision electronic components and potentially causing short circuits, equipment malfunctions, and other problems, affecting the robot dog's normal operation and task execution efficiency. Furthermore, the structural design of some payload shells is not reasonable enough; when installing payload devices such as sensors and cameras, the sealing at the interfaces is inadequate, further reducing the shell's protective performance and making it difficult to meet the requirements for long-term reliable operation in harsh environments. Therefore, in view of this, the inventors have researched and improved the existing structure to provide a robot dog payload shell with better protective sealing, aiming to achieve greater practical value. Utility Model Content
[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a load shell for a robot dog with better protective sealing performance. It can be made of engineering plastics and is used as the upper shell of a fire detection robot dog. Through special structural design, it has excellent high temperature resistance and impact resistance, and is lightweight and easy to process, thus achieving an innovative integration of efficient protection and flexible mobility.
[0006] 2. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.
[0008] A load-bearing shell for a robotic dog with good protective sealing performance includes a main shell, a front shell fixedly connected to one end of the main shell, a top shell fixedly connected to the top of the main shell, a lidar mounting hole on the top of the front shell, a dual photothermal imaging mounting hole on one end of the top shell, a lighting mounting hole, a snorkeling gas monitoring mounting hole, and a horn mounting hole on the top of the top shell, an external power supply mounting slot on the other end of the main shell, and a camera mounting slot on the other end of the top shell.

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects
[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) This solution effectively reduces the gaps in traditional spliced shells by using an integrated main shell, front shell and top shell structure design, fundamentally reducing the possibility of water vapor and dust intrusion, significantly improving the overall sealing and protection capability of the shell. At the same time, the 2.0mm engineering plastic material not only gives the shell sufficient structural strength to resist external impact, but also reduces the weight of the shell while ensuring protective performance, ensuring that the robot dog can still maintain good maneuverability after carrying a load.
[0018] (2) This solution fully considers the sealing requirements after installation by setting up laser radar mounting holes, dual photothermal imaging mounting holes, camera mounting slots and other features for different load devices. It can further enhance the sealing performance of each interface by using special sealing parts to prevent external pollutants from entering the interior through the installation gaps, thereby providing a reliable operating environment for the internal precision electronic components and ensuring that the robot dog can work stably for a long time in complex environments such as humid and dusty conditions.

[0036] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0037] Example:
[0038] Please see Figures 1-4 A load-bearing shell for a robot dog with good protective sealing performance includes a main shell 1, a front shell 2 fixedly connected to one end of the main shell 1, a top shell 3 fixedly connected to the top of the main shell 1, a laser radar mounting hole 4 on the top of the front shell 2, a dual photothermal imaging mounting hole 5 on one end of the top shell 3, a lighting mounting hole 6, a Lingxiu V2 gas monitoring mounting hole 7, and a speaker mounting hole 8 on the top of the top shell 3, an external power supply mounting slot 10 on the other end of the main shell 1, and a camera mounting slot 9 on the other end of the top shell 3.
[0039] See Figure 1The main shell 1, front shell 2, and top shell 3 are integrally molded from 2.0mm thick engineering plastic. During use, this integral molding creates a unique structure that significantly improves overall strength and impact resistance. The engineering plastic shell material ensures structural stability even under high temperatures at fire scenes, preventing softening, melting, or combustion, thus protecting internal electronic components from damage. Compared to metal shells, engineering plastics have a lower density, significantly reducing the robot dog's overall weight, power system energy consumption, and extending single-mission endurance. This lightweight design allows the robot dog to move and turn quickly in complex terrains such as narrow passages, staircases, and rubble gaps, improving reconnaissance coverage. Furthermore, its overall anti-aging and weather resistance are improved; even after long-term exposure to high temperatures, humidity, and dust, its performance is not easily degraded, extending the device's lifespan. It is also non-conductive, preventing short circuits in the internal circuitry and protecting the stable operation of sensitive electronic components such as sensors and controllers.
[0040] See Figure 4 The bottom of the main shell 1 and the front shell 2 are designed with openings.
[0041] See Figure 2 The inner top wall of the top shell 3 is provided with multiple fixing holes 11. During use, the entire shell can be firmly fixed to the circuit compartment of the mechanical dog by means of the fixing holes 11 and the studs.
[0042] See Figure 3 The main shell 1 has an inclined structure on both sides, and the front shell 2 is inclined and fixed to one end of the main shell 1. When in use, the main shell 1 and the front shell 2 are inclined and the bottom is tightly attached to the circuit compartment. This allows the robot dog to disperse and offset the external impact force generated by collision, friction or slight fall when moving in ruins or areas with dense obstacles, reducing the probability of shell breakage and deformation, protecting the internal precision components, and greatly improving the overall high strength and impact resistance.
[0043] See Figure 1 Multiple connection holes 12 are provided on both sides of the top shell 3.
[0044] In use: The unibody design of the main shell 1, front shell 2, and top shell 3 effectively reduces the gaps present in traditional spliced shells, fundamentally reducing the possibility of moisture and dust intrusion and significantly improving the overall sealing and protection capabilities of the shell. Simultaneously, the 2.0mm engineering plastic material not only provides sufficient structural strength to withstand external impacts but also reduces the shell's weight while ensuring protective performance, ensuring the robot dog maintains good maneuverability even when carrying a load. The lidar mounting holes 4, dual-photothermal imaging mounting holes 5, and camera mounting slots 9, designed for different load devices, fully consider the sealing requirements after installation. Specialized sealing components can be used to further enhance the sealing at each interface, preventing external contaminants from entering the interior through installation gaps. This provides a reliable operating environment for the internal precision electronic components, ensuring the robot dog's long-term stable operation in complex environments such as humid and dusty conditions. The overall structure possesses excellent high-temperature resistance and impact resistance, and is lightweight and easy to process, achieving an innovative fusion of efficient protection and flexible maneuverability.
