Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of companion robots, and in particular to a companion robot with an anti-collision structure. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to aquariums or museums, where you'll definitely see many guided tour robots, many open-air scenic spots are now also investing in guided tour robots with more advanced functions than those in aquariums or museums. For example, in addition to basic robot guides and explanations of attractions, they also include functions such as voice interaction, entertainment broadcasts, food recommendations, and tour route inquiries, providing comprehensive services for tourists' needs in the scenic area. Nowadays, more and more scenic spots are transforming into digital operation and management through intelligent robots, which can help traditional scenic spots quickly improve their smart service capabilities, enhance service quality, and bring tourists more intelligent experiences. However, it is also necessary to pay attention to the product service experience.

[0003] When using sightseeing robots in scenic areas, operational errors may cause the robot to deviate from its forward direction. In order to ensure stability, sightseeing robots usually have a large lower structure. Therefore, during the movement of the sightseeing robot, there is a possibility that the robot may collide with objects in the scenic area or other tourists. Furthermore, the sightseeing robots do not have anti-collision structures, which may result in injury to the robot or tourists.

[0004] To address these issues, we propose a companion robot with a collision-resistant structure. Utility Model Content

A collision-resistant plate is provided on the lower front side of the robot body. A buffer spring is connected between the collision-resistant plate and the side wall of the robot body. The two ends of the buffer spring are detachable from the collision-resistant plate and the robot body. The collision-resistant plate is composed of multiple assembled parts. A slot is formed on the inner wall of the collision-resistant plate. A connecting plate is provided in the inner cavity of the slot. A through-hole is formed on the side wall of the collision-resistant plate. An adjusting rod is inserted into the inner side of the slot.

[0007] Preferably, the anti-collision plate has an up-and-down bending design, and a protective airbag is provided on the outer wall of the anti-collision plate.

[0008] Preferably, the buffer spring is connected to connecting blocks at both ends, and connecting studs are rotatably connected to the outer sidewall of the connecting blocks. The connecting studs are screwed to the robot body and the anti-collision plate.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slot, a limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the slot, the other end of the connecting plate extends into the adjacent slot, and a limiting rod is connected to the side wall of the connecting plate corresponding to the position of the limiting groove, the limiting rod extending into the limiting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the two ends of the adjusting rod extend to the outside of the slot, and the outer end of the adjusting rod away from the robot body is connected to a limiting plate, the inner surface of which is covered with a friction pad.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting rod has a threaded section on the outer side of the end near the robot body, and the robot body has a threaded groove on the side wall corresponding to the position of the adjusting rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In use, this utility model features multiple anti-collision plates that provide protection to the lower front side of the robot body. When the robot collides with other objects or visitors, these plates offer a buffering effect, reducing the damage caused by the collision. The anti-collision plates are detachable, allowing staff to disassemble, repair, or replace them, thus ensuring their protective effect. Connecting plates between adjacent anti-collision plates maintain a degree of integrity, and the adjacent plates provide a coordinated buffering effect, enhancing the overall anti-collision performance. Adjustable rods between the anti-collision plates and the robot body allow for adjustment of the distance between them, changing the outward expansion range of the anti-collision plates according to actual usage.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-4A tour guide robot with a collision-resistant structure includes a robot body 1. The robot body 1 is equipped with wheels and an interactive panel to control its movement and provide interactive guidance to tourists. A collision-resistant plate 2 is located on the lower front side of the robot body 1. The collision-resistant plate 2 has an up-and-down bending design, and protective airbags 201 are installed on its outer wall to increase its collision-resistant effect and improve its flexibility, preventing secondary injuries when colliding with tourists. A buffer spring 3 connects the collision-resistant plate 2 to the side wall of the robot body 1. The buffer spring 3 is detachable from both the collision-resistant plate 2 and the robot body 1. Connecting blocks 301 are connected to both ends of the buffer spring 3. Connecting studs 302 are rotatably connected to the outer side wall of the connecting blocks 301. The connecting studs 302 are screwed to the robot body 1 and the collision-resistant plate 2. The buffer spring 3 and the anti-collision plate 2 can be disassembled for separate maintenance and replacement. The anti-collision plate 2 is a multi-assembly design that can withstand the collision of objects of different shapes. A slot 4 is opened on the inner wall of the anti-collision plate 2, and a connecting plate 5 is set in the inner cavity of the slot 4. One end of the connecting plate 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slot 4. A limit groove 501 is opened on the inner wall of the slot 4. The other end of the connecting plate 5 extends into the adjacent slot 4. A limit rod 502 is connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 5 corresponding to the position of the limit groove 501. The limit rod 502 extends into the limit groove 501. The two work together to restrict the position of the connecting plate 5 in the slot 4, so that the connecting plate 5 connects to the adjacent anti-collision plate 2. When one side of the anti-collision plate 2 is displaced by collision, the adjacent anti-collision plate can provide additional buffer for the collision force, enhancing the overall buffering effect of the anti-collision structure.

[0020] Reference Figure 4-5 The anti-collision plate 2 has through slots 6 on both sides on its side wall. An adjusting rod 7 is inserted into the inside of the slots 6. The two ends of the adjusting rod 7 extend to the outside of the slots 6. The outer end of the adjusting rod 7 away from the robot body 1 is connected to a limiting plate 701 to restrict the position of the anti-collision plate 2, thereby adjusting the distance between it and the robot body 1. The inner surface of the limiting plate 701 is covered with a friction pad. The outer side of the adjusting rod 7 near the robot body 1 has a threaded section. The side wall of the robot body 1 corresponding to the position of the adjusting rod 7 has a threaded groove 702, which can adjust the distance between the robot body 1 and the anti-collision plate 2, thereby changing the elastic coefficient of the buffer spring 3. This is adjusted according to the set speed of the robot. When the set speed of the robot is faster, the adjusting rod 7 can be tightened to increase the elasticity of the buffer spring 3, thereby being able to withstand a greater collision force.
