Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shell component technology, and in particular to a shell component for a building block robot. Background Technology

[0002] Block robots are intelligent toys that combine building block assembly with programmable control, offering both fun and educational value. They consist of modular building block parts, allowing for free construction of shapes. With the addition of motors, sensors, and other components, they can interact with the environment and perform actions. Through graphical or code programming, they can be programmed to perform functions such as walking, obstacle avoidance, and dancing. Suitable for children and teenagers, they can help develop spatial thinking, logical reasoning, and creativity. Common brands include LEGO EV3 and Mi Bunny Robots. They are widely used in STEAM education and serve as a fun tool for learning programming and mechanical principles.

[0003] In the existing technology, the shell of the building block robot not only serves as protection, but also as a bridge connecting the internal and external structures. The shell of the building block robot is usually equipped with detachable side plates, which have holes for the drive rod to pass through. The side plates are usually installed with bolts, which is inefficient and inconvenient to disassemble when rust occurs. In view of this, we propose a building block robot shell component.

[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a building block robot shell component, including an upper shell 1 and a lower shell 2. An arc-shaped groove 3 is formed on the adjacent surface of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. The two arc-shaped grooves 3 form a circle, extending to the outer side of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2. A through hole 4 is formed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 3. An arc-shaped magnet 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 3. A limiting block 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 3. The limiting block 6 is trapezoidal. A side plate 7 is provided inside the arc-shaped groove 3, which is adapted to the two arc-shaped grooves 3. The side plate 7 is annular. A rotating groove 8 is formed on the inner wall of the side plate 7. An installation component is provided on the rotating groove 8. The arc-shaped magnet 5 can attract the side plate 7, preventing loosening when the finger leaves, providing convenient adjustment for subsequent fixation. The limiting block 6 prevents the side plate 7 from rotating, and the trapezoidal shape ensures that most of the force is evenly transmitted to the limiting block 6 during rotation.

[0024] Furthermore, the mounting components include a rotating ring 9, which is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 8. A movable plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 9. A drive hole 11 extending to the left side surface of the movable plate 10 is provided on the right side surface of the movable plate 10. The drive hole 11 is cross-shaped. An arc-shaped magnet 5 is also fixedly connected to the left side surface of the side plate 7. The two arc-shaped magnets 5 are oppositely shaped on their adjacent sides. A limit groove 12 is provided on the left side surface of the side plate 7. The limit groove 12 is adapted to the limit block 6. Sliding grooves 13 are provided on the surfaces of the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2. A locking rod 14 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 13. Locking grooves 15 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the side plate 7. The end of the locking rod 14 slides through the interior of the arc-shaped groove 3. The locking rod 14 is adapted to the locking groove 15. A control plate 16 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 13. The control plate 16 is fixed to the locking rod 14. A spring 17 is fixedly connected between the control panel 16 and the bottom wall of the sliding groove 13. The control panel 16 slides to the outside of the sliding groove 13. An extension plate 18 is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper housing 1. A fixing post 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the lower housing 2. An embedding groove 20 is opened on the upper side surface of the upper housing 1. A fixing bolt 21 is set inside the embedding groove 20. The end of the fixing bolt 21 is threaded through the inside of the fixing post 19. A splicing protrusion 22 is fixedly connected to the upper side surface of the lower housing 2. A splicing groove that matches the splicing protrusion 22 is opened on the lower side surface of the upper housing 1. The locking rod 14 and the locking groove 15 can be used to quickly lock the side plate 7 after it is pushed into place, which can effectively improve the installation speed. The setting of two sets of locking rods 14 avoids accidental unlocking caused by unilateral shaking. The setting of fixing post 19 and fixing bolt 21 can also enhance the connection strength between the upper and lower housings.

[0025] Working principle: When installing the upper housing 1 and the lower housing 2, first align the splicing protrusion 22 with the splicing groove, then press the upper housing 1 so that the splicing protrusion 22 enters the splicing groove to complete the initial positioning. Then, rotate the fixing bolt 21 to make it enter the fixing post 19 to complete the fixation. At this time, when installing the side plate 7, first use two fingers to push the two control plates 16 to move. When the two control plates 16 move, they will simultaneously drive the locking rod 14 to retract into the sliding groove 13. At the same time, when the control plates 16 move, they will simultaneously stretch the spring 17. Then push the side plate 7 into the arc groove 3. If the surface of the side plate 7 is flush with the surface of the housing after pushing, it means that it is pushed in place. If the side plate 7 protrudes, slowly rotate the side plate 7 so that the limiting groove 12 on the side plate 7 is aligned with the limiting block 6. At this time, the side plate 7 is attracted to the arc groove 3 by the setting of two sets of arc magnets 5 to prevent it from falling. At this time, release the control plate 16 so that the locking rod 14 enters the locking groove 15 to complete the locking.

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
