Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robotics technology, and in particular to a humanoid robot with a power output system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the most widely used work robots are industrial robots based on robotic arms, which repeatedly perform tasks such as welding, handling, and painting through pre-programming. However, these robots have significant drawbacks: their functions are highly specialized, with each robot typically only suited for one or a few fixed tasks, resulting in limited operational capabilities. Furthermore, their end effectors are mostly single-function custom tools, lacking versatility and unable to flexibly replace and use various standard power tools as needed, unlike humans, which greatly limits the expansion of their application scope. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a humanoid robot with a power output system, which is designed to be able to install electric or pneumatic tools to perform operations according to usage requirements.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a humanoid robot with a power output system, comprising:

[0005] The robot body includes a torso and a head, left arm, right arm, left leg, and right leg connected to the torso. The left arm and right arm are respectively connected to an electric output assembly and a pneumatic output assembly for connecting power tools and pneumatic tools to perform operations.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the electric output assembly includes a power source, an electric drive unit, and a first connection structure. The power source and the electric drive unit are disposed inside the left arm and the electric drive unit is electrically connected to the power source. The first connection structure is disposed at the end of the left arm and is drivenly connected to the electric drive unit. The power tool is connected to the first connection structure.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the left arm includes an upper arm and a lower arm, and both the upper arm and the lower arm have cavities inside. The power supply is disposed in the cavity of the upper arm, the electric drive is disposed in the cavity of the lower arm, and the first connecting structure is disposed at the end of the lower arm.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the pneumatic output assembly includes a pneumatic drive structure, an air supply pipe, and a second connecting structure. The pneumatic drive structure is located on the back of the torso member, and the second connecting structure is located at the end of the right arm member. The air supply pipe connects the pneumatic drive structure and the second connecting structure, and the pneumatic tool is connected to the second connecting structure.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the pneumatic drive structure includes a protective housing, an air compressor, and a control valve. The protective housing is connected to the back of the body member, the air compressor and the control valve are disposed inside the protective housing and connected to each other, and the end of the air delivery pipe is connected to the control valve.

[0010] This utility model's technical solution adopts a humanoid design, which can naturally adapt to the human working environment. At the same time, its left arm integrates a complete electric workstation, while the right arm provides strong pneumatic power through a pneumatic module on its back. This allows the robot to quickly switch and use almost all standard electric and pneumatic tools, just like a skilled worker, to perform a variety of complex tasks, from grasping, grinding, drilling to spraying.

[0017] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 This utility model proposes a humanoid robot with a power output system, including a robot body. The robot body includes a torso 1 and a head 2, a left arm 3, a right arm 4, a left leg 5, and a right leg 6 connected to the torso 1. The left arm 3 and the right arm 4 are respectively connected to an electric output component and a pneumatic output component, which are used to connect an electric tool 7 and a pneumatic tool 8 for operation.

[0020] Understandably, the torso 1 is the core support component, to which the head, arms, and legs are connected. The head component 2 is equipped with sensors such as cameras and lidar, and may also house a processing unit or a display screen for interaction. The left arm component 3 and right arm component 4 are the robot's two arms, serving as the main work execution mechanisms. The left leg component 5 and right leg component 6 are the robot's two legs, used for supporting the body and movement.

[0021] The electric output assembly is mounted on one of the arms, in this example the left arm. It outputs electricity and provides a standard interface for connecting power tools 7, such as electric drills, electric screwdrivers, angle grinders, etc. The pneumatic output assembly is mounted on the other arm. It outputs compressed air and also provides a standard interface for connecting pneumatic tools 8, such as pneumatic wrenches, pneumatic spray guns, pneumatic grippers, etc.

[0022] Its humanoid structure allows it to adapt to human-designed work environments such as stairs and confined spaces. By connecting or changing different tools, the same robot can perform a variety of tasks, including tightening bolts, drilling holes, spraying paint, and grasping materials. The robot integrates its own power and air supply systems and can also be connected via external pipelines. The tools do not require their own power sources, making the end effector lighter and the robot more flexible to control.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the electric output component includes a power supply 71, an electric drive component 72, and a first connection structure 73. The power supply 71 and the electric drive component 72 are disposed inside the left arm component 3, and the electric drive component 72 is electrically connected to the power supply 71. The first connection structure 73 is disposed at the end of the left arm component 3 and is drivenly connected to the electric drive component 72. The power tool 7 is connected to the first connection structure 73.

[0024] Understandably, power source 71 is an electrical energy storage and supply unit that provides power to the entire electric output assembly. In this example, it is a battery. Electric drive component 72 is a motor and reducer, which, as the core of power output, obtains electrical energy from power source 71 and converts it into rotational mechanical energy. The reducer's function is to reduce the rotational speed and increase the output torque to make the tool more powerful.

[0025] The first connection structure 73 is a mechanical interface located at the end of the left arm. It can be a flange, chuck, or other standard, quick-locking mechanism to physically fix the power tool 7. It is directly connected to the output shaft of the electric drive 72 and transmits the rotational power generated by the electric drive 72 to the connected power tool 7.

[0026] The power supply 71 and drive unit are both inside the arm, making the entire system compact and avoiding the inconvenience and risks of dragging external power cords. Direct drive means that the connected power tool 7 is simply a pure execution head such as a drill bit or sandpaper disc, without the need for a built-in motor, making the tool very lightweight and convenient.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the left arm component 3 includes an upper arm portion 31 and a lower arm portion 32, and cavities are formed inside both the upper arm portion 31 and the lower arm portion 32. A power supply 71 is disposed in the cavity of the upper arm portion 31, an electric drive component 72 is disposed in the cavity of the lower arm portion 32, and a first connecting structure 73 is disposed at the end of the lower arm portion 32.

[0028] Understandably, the upper arm 31 connects the torso and the lower arm 32, similar to a human upper arm, and the power source 71 is placed inside the cavity of the upper arm 31. Since the power source 71 is typically a heavy and relatively regular-sized component, placing it close to the body in the upper arm 31 helps to concentrate the weight near the body; in addition, the power source 71 can also be installed inside the torso component 1 as needed. The lower arm 32 is similar to a human forearm, and the electric drive unit 72 is located inside the cavity of the lower arm 32. The first connecting structure 73 is located at the end of the lower arm 32. Since the electric drive unit 72 is the power source, it needs to be as close as possible to the final actuator to reduce power transmission loss and complexity.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the pneumatic output component includes a pneumatic drive structure 81, a pneumatic pipeline 82, and a second connecting structure 83. The pneumatic drive structure 81 is disposed on the back of the torso member 1, and the second connecting structure 83 is disposed at the end of the right arm member 4. The pneumatic pipeline 82 connects the pneumatic drive structure 81 and the second connecting structure 83, and the pneumatic tool 8 is connected to the second connecting structure 83.

[0030] Understandably, the pneumatic drive structure 81 is an air compressor or a high-pressure air tank, in this example a combination of an air compressor 812 and a control valve 813. The compressor compresses air in real time to generate power. Located on the back of the torso 1, the pneumatic drive structure 81 is a relatively heavy and bulky component. Placing it on the back helps maintain the robot's center of gravity, preventing excessive forward or lateral tilting and ensuring its overall balance and movement. Alternatively, it can be located inside the torso 1 as needed. The air supply pipe 82 is a high-pressure pipeline for delivering compressed air, acting as an artery connecting the pneumatic drive structure 81 and the second connection structure 83, responsible for transmitting high-pressure air from the back of the torso to the end of the right arm. The second connection structure 83 is a quick-connect pneumatic connector located at the end of the right arm, providing a standard interface for connection to the air hose connector of the pneumatic tool 8, and also featuring a mechanical locking mechanism to securely mount the pneumatic tool 8.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the air-driven structure 81 includes a protective shell 811, an air compressor 812 and a control valve 813. The protective shell 811 is connected to the back of the body member 1. The air compressor 812 and the control valve 813 are disposed inside the protective shell 811 and connected to each other. The end of the air supply pipe 82 is connected to the control valve 813.

[0032] Understandably, the protective shell 811 is a robust outer casing that protects the internal air compressor 812 and control valve 813 from damage caused by external environmental factors such as impacts, dust, and moisture. As the skeleton of the entire module, it is connected to the back of the torso 1, transmitting the weight of the pneumatic system and vibrations during operation to the robot's main structure. The air compressor 812 is the power source of the pneumatic system, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, drawing in ordinary air and compressing it to produce high-pressure compressed air. The control valve 813 is a precision airflow switch and regulator used to receive electrical signal commands from the robot and open or close the airflow to the arm, i.e., the way the robot controls the start and stop of the pneumatic tool 8.

[0033] This utility model's technical solution adopts a humanoid design, which can naturally adapt to the human working environment. At the same time, its left arm integrates a complete electric workstation, while the right arm provides strong pneumatic power through a pneumatic module on its back. This allows the robot to quickly switch and use almost all standard electric and pneumatic tools 8, just like a skilled worker, to perform a variety of complex tasks, from grasping, grinding, drilling to spraying.
