Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a robot with a flip-up door cover for storage. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of rapid technological development, robots are gradually entering various business venues such as banks and restaurants, bringing new changes to service models.

[0003] These robots used in business premises typically have multiple functions, including providing basic business consultation and guiding customers through the process, as well as handling tasks such as document delivery and goods transport, effectively improving the service efficiency and customer experience of business operations.

[0004] These robots have a storage compartment on their chest and a hinged door. The storage compartment adds practicality to the robot, allowing it to store important documents, tickets, small gifts, and other items.

[0005] The hinged door panels serve to seal off the storage compartments. They prevent items from falling out or getting lost, and also prevent dust and debris from entering, ensuring the cleanliness of the contents.

[0006] The opening and closing of the door panel can usually be operated by the robot's control system, which is convenient and quick.

[0007] However, the inability of these door panels to open wide is a significant drawback. When storing or retrieving larger items, the limited opening angle causes operational inconvenience. For example, some forms may be large, and when placing them into the storage compartment, the insufficient opening angle of the door panel makes it difficult to insert the forms completely, potentially requiring multiple adjustments to the angle and position, and even causing the forms to be bent or damaged during insertion. Similarly, retrieving items also increases the difficulty and time cost due to the limited opening angle, and also increases the risk of damaging the items. Utility Model Content

[0008] To overcome the limitation that the door panels of current non-cylindrical service robots cannot be opened due to their large size, this utility model provides a robot with a flip-up and retractable door panel.

[0009] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a robot with a flip-up and retractable door cover, comprising a main body, a moving device at the lower end of the main body, an interactive operation device at the upper end of the main body, a storage compartment recessed in the main body, and a door cover storage cavity located below the storage compartment. A synchronous belt drive device is provided on the side of the door cover storage cavity, and a drive block track and a drive block movable on the drive block track are also provided on the door cover storage cavity. The drive block is engaged with the synchronous belt of the synchronous belt drive device, and the front end of the drive block is connected to the door cover. The door cover can be retracted into the door cover storage cavity by being pulled by the drive block, or the rear end of the door cover can be driven forward by the drive block. A spring member is also provided on one side of the door cover to drive the door cover upward. Under the action of the spring member, the door cover always has an upward tendency, and after the door cover moves forward and is freed from the restriction of the door cover storage cavity, the door cover is lifted upward to cover the storage compartment.

[0010] To increase the flexibility of the lifting joint of the door cover, the spring is mounted on a connecting rod plate. The front end of the connecting rod plate is hinged to the lower end of the door cover, and the rear end of the connecting rod plate is connected to the drive block. The spring is a torsion spring. The front end of the connecting rod plate is provided with a torsion spring mounting shaft on the same center line as the hinge axis. The torsion spring is sleeved on the torsion spring mounting shaft, with one end of the torsion spring pressing on the door cover and the other end pressing on the connecting rod plate. The door cover has a front torsion spring foot fixing groove, and the connecting rod plate has a rear torsion spring foot fixing groove. The rear torsion spring foot fixing groove is formed by a fixing protrusion and the side wall of the connecting rod plate.

[0011] A preferred method for connecting rod plates includes a limiting groove on the connecting rod plate, a limiting rod protruding from the driving block, the limiting rod being inserted into the limiting groove, the rear end of the connecting rod plate being hinged to the driving block, and the connecting rod plate being restricted by the limiting groove to rotate only one angle relative to the driving block.

[0012] One implementation of a drive block track, wherein the drive block track is located on the left and right sides of the door cover cavity, and the two ends of the drive block are limited and slidably mounted on the drive block track; the drive block is provided with transmission gears that mesh with a synchronous belt. The transmission gears are commercially available synchronous belt mating parts.

[0013] The specific structure of the drive block track is optimized. The drive block track includes two side plates located on both sides of the door cover plate storage cavity. The side plates are provided with long grooves, and the drive block is provided with limiting clips on both sides that can be inserted into the movable long grooves.

[0014] To further increase the motion stability of the drive block, a secondary elongated groove is also recessed on the side plate, and secondary limiting clips are provided on both sides of the drive block to be inserted into the secondary elongated groove.

[0015] To facilitate transmission, the synchronous belt drive device includes a front pulley, a rear pulley, and a synchronous belt for transmission, and the rear pulley is equipped with a drive motor to drive its rotation.

[0016] Further optimization of the synchronous belt structure: the front pulley and the rear pulley, and the synchronous belt for transmission are provided on both sides of the door cover cavity, and the left and right front pulleys are connected by a front pulley coupling, and the left and right rear pulleys are connected by a rear pulley coupling.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressure roller is provided on one side of the timing belt, which presses against the timing belt to prevent it from loosening.

[0018] To facilitate the smooth retraction of the door cover, the front end of the side panel is also provided with an arc end face. When the door cover is pulled back, the lower end of the door cover is pressed against the arc end face and rotated under the pressure of the arc end face, thus smoothly entering the door cover storage cavity.

[0019] This utility model also includes the following additional technical features: the mobile device is an independent base, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body; a motor is provided inside the base, and casters driven by the motor are provided below the base; the interactive operation device includes an operation screen located on the upper side of the main body, and the interactive operation device is electrically connected to the drive motor of the synchronous belt drive device, which can control its operation to open or close.

[0020] In normal operation, the drive block is located on the outermost side of the drive block track. The door cover is lifted upward by the spring and covers the storage compartment. When the user needs to open the door, the drive block moves backward by the synchronous belt, and the door cover is pulled back by the drive block and the connecting rod plate, gradually retracting into the door cover storage cavity to complete the opening of the door.

[0021] Because the door panel is hidden when folded up, the storage compartment is fully open, making it very convenient to retrieve and store items.

[0022] Conversely, when the hatch needs to be closed, the hatch cover moves forward under the push of the drive block and the connecting rod plate. At the same time, as the hatch cover disengages from the hatch cover storage cavity, the hatch cover is lifted by the spring drive until it is in place and completely covers the storage compartment.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The fully concealed storage method means that the hatch will not occupy any additional external space of the robot when opened. In environments with limited space, such as narrow offices, dense warehouse shelves, and crowded reception halls, this design can avoid collisions or interference with surrounding objects when the hatch is open, allowing the robot to move and operate more flexibly and improving space utilization. 2. The fully concealed storage method makes the robot's appearance more concise and streamlined, without a protruding hatch structure, giving it a unified aesthetic. This design not only conforms to the aesthetic trends of modern industrial design but also enhances the robot's brand image and market competitiveness, making it particularly suitable for financial offices such as banks.

[0035] To increase the flexibility of the lifting joint of the door cover 10, the spring 11 is mounted on a connecting rod plate 12. The front end of the connecting rod plate 12 is hinged to the lower end of the door cover 10, and the rear end of the connecting rod plate 12 is connected to the drive block 8. The spring 11 is a torsion spring. The front end of the connecting rod plate 12 is provided with a torsion spring mounting shaft 14 on the same center line as the hinge shaft 13.

The door cover 10 is provided with a front torsion spring foot fixing groove 15, and the connecting rod plate 12 is provided with a rear torsion spring foot fixing groove. The rear torsion spring foot fixing groove is formed by a fixing protrusion 16 and the side wall of the connecting rod plate 12.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the connection method of the connecting rod plate 12, the connecting rod plate 12 is provided with a limiting groove 17, the driving block 8 is provided with a limiting rod 18 protruding therefrom, the limiting rod 18 is inserted into the limiting groove 17, the rear end of the connecting rod plate 12 is hinged to the driving block 8, and because the limiting rod 18 is limited by the limiting groove 17, the connecting rod plate 12 can only rotate relative to the driving block 8 by one angle.

[0037] One implementation of the drive block track 7 is as follows: the drive block track 7 is located on the left and right sides of the door cover cavity 5, and the two ends of the drive block 8 are limited and slidably mounted on the drive block track 7; the drive block 8 is provided with a transmission gear 19 that meshes with the synchronous belt 9. The transmission gear 19 adopts a commercially available synchronous belt 9 mating component.

[0038] The specific structure of the drive block track 7 is optimized. The drive block track 7 includes two side plates 20 located on both sides of the door cover plate storage cavity 5. The side plates 20 are provided with long grooves 21. The drive block 8 is provided with limiting clips 22 on both sides that can be inserted into the movable long grooves 21.

[0039] To further increase the motion stability of the drive block 8, a secondary elongated groove 23 is also recessed on the side plate 20, and secondary limiting clips 24 are provided on both sides of the drive block 8 to be inserted into the secondary elongated groove 23.

[0040] For convenient transmission, the synchronous belt drive device 6 includes a front pulley 25 and a rear pulley 26, a synchronous belt 9 for transmission, and a drive motor 27 for driving the rear pulley 26 to rotate.

[0045] In normal operation, the drive block 8 is located on the outermost side of the drive block track 7. The door cover 10 is lifted upward by the spring 11 to cover the storage compartment 4. When the user needs to open the door, the drive block 8 moves backward by the synchronous belt 9, and the door cover 10 is pulled back by the drive block 8 and the connecting rod plate 12, gradually retracting into the door cover storage cavity 5 to complete the opening of the door.

[0046] Since the door cover 10 is hidden when it is folded up, the storage compartment 4 is fully open, which makes it very convenient to retrieve and put away items.

[0047] Conversely, when the hatch needs to be closed, the door cover 10 moves forward under the push of the drive block 8 and the connecting rod plate 12. At the same time, as the door cover 10 disengages from the door cover storage cavity 5, the door cover 10 is lifted under the drive of the spring member 11 until it is in place and completely covers the storage compartment 4.

[0048] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The fully concealed storage method means that the hatch will not occupy any additional external space of the robot when opened. In environments with limited space, such as narrow offices, dense warehouse shelves, and crowded reception halls, this design can avoid collisions or interference with surrounding objects when the hatch is open, allowing the robot to move and operate more flexibly and improving space utilization. 2. The fully concealed storage method makes the robot's appearance more concise and streamlined, without a protruding hatch structure, giving it a unified aesthetic.
