Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot technology, and in particular to a multifunctional protective shell for robots. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent catering services, robots are increasingly widely used in various restaurants, hotels, and other venues, not only improving efficiency but also reducing labor costs. However, existing robot protective shells are mostly one-piece structures or single-function split structures, which present many inconveniences in practical use. On the one hand, the protective shells lack dedicated mounting locations for components such as sensors, cameras, control buttons, and charging ports, requiring these components to be fixed with additional brackets or complex connectors. This not only increases assembly difficulty and overall weight but also makes it easy for unstable installations to affect the normal operation of components. On the other hand, the structural design of traditional protective shells lacks flexibility. When the robot needs to replace or upgrade components according to different scenarios, the protective shell cannot be disassembled, greatly increasing usage costs and maintenance difficulty. In addition, some protective shells sacrifice overall protective performance to meet the installation requirements of specific components, making the robot more susceptible to external impacts, dust, water stains, and other factors during operation, shortening the equipment's lifespan. To address these issues, a multi-functional protective shell for robots is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention addresses the problems of existing shells requiring additional fixing for mounting components, and the inability to disassemble the shell leading to complex installation and high costs. It provides a multifunctional protective shell for robots, which can be fitted with appropriate slots and holes for mounting corresponding components. Furthermore, the shell is detachable, facilitating component replacement and effectively solving the problems mentioned in the background.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: A multifunctional protective shell for a robot includes a shell, the upper end of which has a detachable top cover, the interior of which is hollow, hub grooves on both sides of which are provided, a camera mounting groove on the upper end of which is provided, multiple radar mounting grooves on the outer periphery of which are provided, and a speaker opening on the outer surface of which is provided; the shell includes a first shell and a second shell, which are detachable.

[0005] The upper end of the housing has a top groove that matches the top cover.

[0006] The lower end of the top cover is fixed with multiple connecting ribs.

[0007] A notch is provided on one end face of the top cover.

[0008] The housing also has a fixing groove inside.

[0009] Connecting devices are provided on both sides of the housing.

[0010] The connecting device consists of a buckle and a slot, which are respectively disposed on the corresponding first housing and second housing.

[0011] The connecting device is an arrow locking plate, which is fixed to the second housing. The connecting device also includes a locking plate that cooperates with the arrow locking plate, and small springs are provided on the outer ends of both locking plates.

[0012] The connecting device also includes a handle and a plurality of small connecting rods, one end of each small connecting rod being hinged to a card plate, and the other end of each small connecting rod being hinged to the handle.

[0013] The lower end of the shell is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: In use, the multiple slots and holes on the housing, adapted to the corresponding components, offer several significant advantages. First, it significantly improves assembly convenience. No additional supports or complex connectors are needed; various components can be precisely installed directly through the corresponding slots and holes, greatly simplifying the assembly process and reducing labor costs and assembly time. Second, when components need to be replaced or upgraded, the housing can be quickly disassembled for installation, effectively reducing usage and maintenance costs. Third, it ensures stable operation of components. The dedicated slot and hole design makes component installation more secure, reducing loosening or damage caused by vibration or collisions, and improving the reliability of equipment operation. Finally, while achieving multi-functional installation, it also considers protective performance. The rationally arranged slots and holes do not excessively weaken the structural strength of the housing, still providing effective dust and collision protection for the robot's internal core components, extending the robot's service life, and overall improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional protective shell for a robot, including a shell, a detachable top cover 4 at the upper end of the shell, a hollow interior, hub grooves 10 on both sides of the shell, a camera mounting groove 18 at the upper end of the shell, multiple radar mounting grooves 8 at the outer periphery of the shell, and a speaker 7 on the outer surface of the shell; the shell includes a first shell 1 and a second shell 2, which are detachable.

[0022] like Figures 1-4As shown, the housing serves as a protective shell. The top cover 4 is installed on the upper part of the housing using bolts or clips. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be disassembled and separated, providing convenience for users when replacing or installing corresponding parts. The interior of the housing is hollow, housing the robot's base frame. The wheel hub groove 10 facilitates the installation of the robot's wheel hub, and the camera mounting groove 18 facilitates the installation of the robot's camera. The radar mounting groove 8 is used to install the robot's radar, which is used to identify obstacles. Two or four radar mounting grooves 8 can be provided. When two are provided, they are located on the left and right inner walls of the housing; when four are provided, they are located on the front, back, left, and right inner walls of the housing. The loudspeaker is installed at the corresponding speaker port 7, allowing sound to be emitted to the outside. By providing multiple grooves and holes on the housing to accommodate corresponding parts, multiple... The significant advantages of this technology are as follows: First, it significantly improves assembly convenience. No additional brackets or complex connectors are needed; various components can be precisely installed directly through corresponding slots and holes, greatly simplifying the assembly process and reducing labor costs and assembly time. Second, when components need to be replaced or upgraded, the housing can be quickly disassembled for installation, effectively reducing usage and maintenance costs. Third, it ensures stable operation of components. The dedicated slot design makes component installation more secure, reducing loosening or damage caused by vibration or collisions, and improving the reliability of equipment operation. Finally, while achieving multi-functional installation, it also considers protective performance. The rationally arranged slots and holes do not excessively weaken the structural strength of the housing, still providing effective dust and collision protection for the robot's internal core components, extending the robot's service life, and improving the overall comprehensive utilization efficiency of the equipment.

[0023] The upper end of the housing is provided with a top groove 9 that is compatible with the top cover 4.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top cover 4 can be installed in the top groove 9.

[0025] The lower end of the top cover 4 is fixed with multiple connecting ribs 6.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, when the robot base is fixed inside the shell, the connecting rib 6 is fixed on the robot base, which can fix the top cover 4.

[0027] A notch 5 is provided on one end face of the top cover 4.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, notch 5 is used to install the robot display.

[0029] The housing is also provided with a fixing groove 17.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, the fixing slot 17 is used to fix components such as the robot base frame.

[0031] Connecting devices are provided on both sides of the housing.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting device can connect the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, enabling the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 to be quickly disassembled and assembled.

[0033] The connecting device consists of a buckle and a slot, which are respectively installed on the corresponding first housing 1 and second housing 2.

[0034] The buckle and slot are interference fits that allow the housing to be disassembled, that is, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be separated. The buckle and slot are conventional existing technologies and will not be described in detail.

[0035] The connecting device is an arrow locking plate 11, which is fixed to the second housing 2. The connecting device also includes a locking plate 12 that cooperates with the arrow locking plate 11. Small springs 13 are provided on the outer ends of both locking plates 12.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking plate 12 is slidably connected to the two end faces of the first housing 1. Two stops 14 are also fixed to the two end faces of the first housing 1. The outer ends of the small springs 13 are fixed to the stops 14, and the inner ends of the small springs 13 are fixed to the locking plates 12. The small springs 13 always exert an inward driving force on the two locking plates 12, so that the locking plates 12 have an inward driving force under normal conditions. When the arrow locking plate 11 cooperates with the locking plate 12, it can block the arrow plate from moving, thereby fixing the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0037] The connecting device also includes a handle 16 and a plurality of small connecting rods 15, one end of each small connecting rod 15 is hinged to the clamping plate 12, and the other end of each small connecting rod 15 is hinged to the handle 16.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, when the drive handle 16 is driven, it can drive the small connecting rod 15 to move outward. When the small connecting rod 15 moves outward, it can also drive the locking plate 12 to move outward. When the locking plate 12 moves outward and disengages from the arrow locking plate 11, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be separated.

[0039] The lower end of the shell is provided with a reinforcing rib 3.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing rib 3 can strengthen the shell and make it more robust.

[0041] In use, the multiple slots and holes on the housing, adapted to the corresponding components, offer several significant advantages. First, it significantly improves assembly convenience. No additional supports or complex connectors are needed; various components can be precisely installed directly through the corresponding slots and holes, greatly simplifying the assembly process and reducing labor costs and assembly time. Second, when components need to be replaced or upgraded, the housing can be quickly disassembled for installation, effectively reducing usage and maintenance costs. Third, it ensures stable operation of components. The dedicated slot and hole design makes component installation more secure, reducing loosening or damage caused by vibration or collisions, and improving the reliability of equipment operation. Finally, while achieving multi-functional installation, it also considers protective performance. The rationally arranged slots and holes do not excessively weaken the structural strength of the housing, still providing effective dust and collision protection for the robot's internal core components, extending the robot's service life, and overall improving the comprehensive utilization efficiency of the equipment.
