[0019] Example 1: like Figure 1 As shown, a drawer-type integrated battery swapping mechanism for the abdomen of a quadruped robot is located in the middle of one side of the main body 1, and includes two battery swapping units 3. The battery swapping units 3 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom, and the battery swapping units 3 are inserted into the insertion cavity. like Figure 2As shown, the battery swapping unit 3 includes a base 31, on which a battery 33 is provided. Control components are provided on both sides of the insertion cavity. Each control component fixes a corresponding battery swapping unit 3. The control components control the extension and retraction of the locking pin 8. The base 31 is provided with a pin groove that engages with the locking pin 8. A baffle 32 is provided at the end of the base 31.

[0020] Both sides of the main body 1 are provided with feet 2 and drive units. The drive units are connected to the battery 33 and control the movement of the feet 2. The baffle 32 can cover the slot 12 to prevent foreign objects from entering the slot 12.

[0021] In this embodiment, the quadruped robot's abdominal drawer-type integrated battery swapping mechanism uses multiple battery swapping units 3 located in the middle of the main body 1, i.e., the robot's abdomen. By replacing a single large battery 33 with multiple small batteries 33, the operator can easily insert and remove the batteries 33 horizontally. In conjunction with the control components and the top plate 10, when a battery swap is needed, the operator only needs to rotate the knob 4, and the base 31 can pop outward, making it convenient for the operator to grasp and improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0022] A partition is provided between two adjacent battery swapping units 3, and the partition divides the plug-in cavity into several slots 12.

[0023] The slot 12 is provided with a top plate 10. The top plate 10 is provided with several springs 11 on the side away from the battery 33. The two ends of the springs 11 are fixed to the top plate 10 and the inner wall of the slot 12 respectively. When the battery needs to be replaced, the springs 11 can push the top plate 10, so that the base 31 can pop out a certain length, so that the operator can grab the baffle 32, thereby making it easy to pull out the base 31 and the battery 33.

[0024] The top plate 10 is provided with a contact piece on the side facing the battery 33, and the contact piece is in contact with the electrode plate of the battery 33.

[0025] The slot 12 has guide rails 9 on both sides of its sidewalls, and the guide rails 9 are slidably fitted with sliders, which are fixed to the sidewalls of the base 31.

[0026] The control component includes a rack 7, which slides within a groove located on one side of a slot 12. The rack 7 is fixed to a locking pin 8 and meshes with a gear 6. The gear 6 is fitted onto a rotating shaft 5, which is rotatably connected to the main body 1. A knob 4 is fixed to the top of the rotating shaft 5, and a torsion spring is installed inside the knob 4. The two ends of the torsion spring are fixed to the knob 4 and the main body 1, respectively. The torsion spring ensures that the locking pin 8 remains inserted in the groove, preventing the battery 33 from coming out during robot movement. Furthermore, simply rotating the knob 4 allows the base 31 to pop out, facilitating grabbing by the operator and improving battery swapping efficiency.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
