Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robot accessory technology, specifically relating to a collision protection accessory for the bottom footplate of a robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation, service robots, and other fields, the application scenarios of mobile robots are becoming increasingly widespread. Their bottom feet, as core components that contact the ground, support the robot's weight, and assist in movement, directly affect the robot's operational stability and lifespan. However, existing robot bottom feet generally only provide basic support functions and lack protective structures designed to address collision risks during movement. When robots operate in narrow passages or complex working conditions, their bottom feet are prone to colliding with obstacles, leading to deformation, cracking, and even loosening of connecting components, affecting the robot's overall operational accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a collision protection accessory for the bottom footplate of a robot, which is used to protect the bottom footplate of the robot, reduce collisions and thus increase its service life. At the same time, the accessory also provides a quick positioning and installation method for the footplate, ensuring the installation efficiency of the accessory.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a robot bottom foot anti-collision protection accessory. The robot bottom foot anti-collision protection accessory includes a base plate, on which an installation tube is provided for mounting the robot's bottom foot. The base plate is also provided with four first positioning holes for aligning with the second positioning holes on the bottom foot.

[0005] The robot bottom foot anti-collision protection accessory provided by this utility model has a mounting tube that provides a dedicated mounting carrier for the robot bottom foot. At the same time, the four first positioning holes are precisely aligned with the second positioning holes of the bottom foot, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the protection accessory and the bottom foot, reducing uneven force caused by positioning deviation, reducing the wear risk of the foot and connecting parts, improving assembly efficiency and component lifespan. Moreover, the bottom plate, as the core load-bearing structure, not only provides a stable base for the mounting tube and positioning holes, but also integrates subsequent accessories. It also allows the robot to bear weight through the bottom plate during movement, and the bottom plate makes downward contact when stepping down, reducing bottom collisions.

[0006] In one possible implementation, an mounting component is provided at the front end of the base plate. A rotating shaft is housed within the mounting component, extending beyond it. A front protective plate is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. The front protective plate is connected to the mounting component via the rotating shaft, forming a movable front-end protection structure. When the robot's front end encounters an obstacle, the front protective plate can rotate around the rotating shaft, buffering and dispersing the impact force to prevent a rigid collision from directly affecting the base plate and feet. Simultaneously, the design of the rotating shaft extending beyond the mounting component ensures that the front protective plate has sufficient protective coverage, effectively blocking impacts from ground protrusions or low obstacles on the front of the feet, reducing the risk of foot deformation and damage.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the mounting component incorporates a spring. The built-in spring serves to keep the rotating shaft back to a preset position and provides a cushioning effect in the event of a collision.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the base plate is provided with raised textures, which are arranged along the length of the base plate. The raised textures increase the contact friction between the bottom of the base plate and the ground, which can effectively prevent the robot from slipping, especially on smooth surfaces or in wet environments, and improve the stability of movement.

[0009] In one possible implementation, two side-mounted protective plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate. The side-mounted protective plates have an arc-shaped cross-section, and their height is lower than the height of the mounting tube. These symmetrically arranged side-mounted protective plates cover both sides of the base plate, filling the gaps in side protection in existing designs. When the robot turns or moves laterally, the arc-shaped cross-section of the side-mounted protective plates can disperse collision forces through their curved surface structure, preventing obstacles from directly impacting the sides of the base plate and reducing the risk of base plate deformation and loosening of connecting components. Compared to right-angled edges, the arc-shaped design also reduces stress concentration during collisions, further improving the protective effect. Attached Figure Description

[0014] See attached diagram. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a collision protection accessory for the bottom footplate of a robot provided by this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the robot bottom foot anti-collision protection accessory provided by this utility model includes a base plate 1, on which an installation tube 2 is provided for mounting the robot's bottom foot. The base plate 1 is also provided with four first positioning holes 3, which are used to align with the second positioning holes on the bottom foot.

[0015] The robot bottom foot anti-collision protection accessory provided by this utility model has a mounting tube 2 that provides a dedicated mounting carrier for the robot bottom foot. At the same time, the four first positioning holes 3 are precisely aligned with the second positioning holes of the bottom foot, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the protection accessory and the bottom foot, reducing uneven force caused by positioning deviation, reducing the wear risk of the foot and connecting parts, improving assembly efficiency and the service life of the parts, and the bottom plate 1, as the core load-bearing structure, not only provides a stable base for the mounting tube 2 and positioning holes, but also integrates subsequent accessories, and allows the robot to bear the weight through the bottom plate 1 when moving, and to make downward contact with the bottom when stepping down, reducing bottom collisions.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the front end of the base plate 1 is provided with an mounting component 4. A rotating shaft is disposed within the mounting component 4, extending out of the mounting component 4. A front protective plate 5 is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft. The front protective plate 5 is connected to the mounting component 4 via the rotating shaft, forming a movable front-end protection structure. When the robot's front end encounters an obstacle, the front protective plate 5 can rotate around the rotating shaft, using rotation to buffer and disperse the collision force, preventing a rigid collision from directly impacting the base plate 1 and the footplates. Simultaneously, the design of the rotating shaft extending out of the mounting component 4 ensures that the front protective plate 5 has sufficient protective coverage, effectively blocking the impact of ground protrusions or low obstacles on the front end of the footplates, reducing the risk of footplate deformation and damage.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the mounting component 4 has a built-in spring. The built-in spring is used to keep the rotating shaft back to a preset position and provides a cushioning effect in the event of a collision.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the bottom of the base plate 1 is provided with raised textures 6, which are arranged along the length of the base plate 1. The raised textures 6 increase the contact friction between the bottom of the base plate 1 and the ground, which can effectively prevent the robot from slipping, especially on smooth surfaces or in wet environments, and improve the stability of movement.

[0019] In one possible implementation, two side-protection plates 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base plate 1. The side-protection plates 7 have an arc-shaped cross-section, and their height is lower than that of the mounting tube 2. The symmetrically arranged side-protection plates 7 cover both sides of the base plate 1, filling the side protection gaps in the existing design. When the robot turns or moves laterally, the arc-shaped side-protection plates 7 can disperse the collision force through their curved surface structure, preventing obstacles from directly impacting the sides of the base plate 1, reducing the risk of deformation of the base plate 1 and loosening of connecting parts; compared with right-angled edges, the arc design can also reduce stress concentration during collisions, further improving the protective effect.

[0020] It is worth mentioning that those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
