[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robotics technology, and in particular relates to the torso shell structure of an elderly care service robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating aging of the population, the demand for elderly care services is growing, and elderly care service robots, as an important technological means to cope with an aging society, have received widespread attention.

[0003] The functional design of elderly care service robots is becoming increasingly sophisticated, including daily living assistance, health monitoring, and safety alerts. They can not only set reminders based on the elderly person's habits, such as mealtimes, medication administration, birthdays, and exercise, but also monitor the elderly person's activity level in real time to prevent accidents.

[0004] From the perspective of the body structure design of elderly care service robots, the current conventional design method does not have enough storage compartments, making it difficult to conveniently and safely store and carry various items needed by the elderly, which seriously restricts the efficiency of the implementation of robot life assistance functions.

[0005] In addition, most current products adopt a one-piece molded structure. When internal circuits, components, etc. malfunction, the entire casing needs to be disassembled, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to damaging the casing or internal precision components during disassembly and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a torso shell structure for an elderly care service robot, which aims to solve the problems that existing elderly care service robots do not have sufficient storage space and are not easy to maintain later.

[0007] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The torso shell structure of the elderly care service robot includes a torso body with a head mounting port at the top. A support frame is provided inside the torso body. A touch-screen tablet and a bracket are respectively located at the top and bottom of the front of the torso body. A storage compartment is formed by an inward recess on the back of the torso body. The tail of the bracket is locked to the left and right sides of the support frame. A tray is placed on the bracket. A pair of arms are provided above the support frame, with the palms of the arms supporting the bracket and locking it in the corresponding positions on the bracket. The torso body includes a disc, a front shell, and a rear shell. The support frame is mounted on the disc, the front shell is mounted on the support frame, and the rear shell is mounted on the front shell. The back of the front shell has a raised strip and several locking plates along its edge. The locking plates have threaded holes. The edge of the rear shell has a circular hole and a groove corresponding to the threaded hole and the raised strip. After the raised strip is embedded in the groove, a fixing screw is inserted from the outside into the circular hole. The fixing screw is screwed into the threaded hole of the corresponding locking plate.

[0009] Furthermore, matching covers are provided on the left and right sides of the torso and the head mounting port.

[0010] Furthermore, the support frame has a cover plate on top, and the support frame is provided with upper and lower mounting seats. The support frame includes two side plates on the left and right sides and a front plate. The front plate and the left and right side plates have gaps. The middle part of the bracket has matching limiting slots corresponding to the front plate and the side plates, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage compartment is located on the rear shell, which is divided into upper and lower parts, and storage compartments are provided on both the upper and lower parts of the rear shell. The bottom of the opening of the storage compartment is provided with a door that rotates, and a handle opening is provided on the back of the door.

[0012] Furthermore, the wrist of the arm has a matching notch corresponding to the tray.

[0013] Furthermore, a pair of left and right speakers and a pair of left and right cooling fans are respectively provided on the upper part of the front housing and the lower part of the support frame, with the speakers facing forward and the cooling fans positioned to the side. The front housing has heat dissipation grooves and sound-emitting grooves corresponding to the cooling fans and speakers.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model patent clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0024] To illustrate the technical solution described in this utility model, specific embodiments are described below.

[0025] For ease of explanation, only the parts relevant to the embodiments of this utility model are shown.

[0026] Combination Figure 1-4 As shown, the torso shell structure of the elderly care service robot includes a torso body, with a head mounting port 1 at the top. A support frame 2 is located inside the torso body. A touch-screen tablet 3 and a bracket 4 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the front of the torso body. A storage compartment 5 is recessed inwards on the back of the torso body and is located within the support frame 2. Figure 5 As shown, the tail of the bracket 4 is locked to the left and right sides of the support frame 2. A tray 6 is placed on the bracket 4. A pair of arms 7 are provided on the top of the support frame 2. The palms of the arms support the bracket and lock it in the corresponding position of the bracket 4.

[0027] In this structure, the torso serves as the primary load-bearing and integrated carrier. A support frame is housed within the torso, and a head mounting opening is located at the top of the torso. In practice, the head structure is positioned with its top facing upwards within the head mounting opening. The front of the torso features a touch-screen tablet and a holder, while the back has a storage compartment. The touch-screen tablet is positioned in front of the torso at a downward angle for ease of operation by the elderly. The holder can hold items such as water cups and remote controls. The storage compartment provides storage functionality without taking up additional space. Therefore, the components of this structure are relatively compact, and the layout is quite reasonable.

[0028] In the illustration, the hands of the left and right arms support the sides of the bracket, making the robot's overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing and lifelike. The front end of the bracket is locked to the hands with screws, while the rear end is locked to the left and right sides of the support frame. In this way, the bracket is stably and securely mounted on the torso shell, ensuring the stability of the tray during use.

[0029] Because the wrist of the arm 7 has a matching notch 8 corresponding to the tray. The notch mainly serves to avoid the tray, and also serves to limit the installation when the tray is installed.

[0030] In the diagram, matching covers 9 are provided on both sides of the torso and the head mounting port 1. The covers mainly serve to protect the internal components and enhance the appearance.

[0031] As a preferred structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the torso body includes a disc 10, a front shell 11, and a rear shell 12. The support frame 2 is mounted on the disc 10, the front shell 11 is mounted on the support frame 2, and the rear shell 12 is mounted on the front shell 11. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the back of the front housing 11 has a raised strip 13 and several locking plates 14 along its edge. The locking plates 14 have threaded holes 15. The edges of the rear housing 12 have round holes 16 and a ring of grooves 17 corresponding to the threaded holes 15, the raised strip 13, and the threaded holes 15 and the raised strip 13, respectively. After the raised strip 13 is embedded into the groove 17, fixing screws (not shown in the figure) are inserted one by one from the outside into the round holes 16. The fixing screws are screwed into the threaded holes of the corresponding locking plates.

[0032] In this embodiment, the torso shell structure is mounted on a chassis via a disc. The front shell contains several inner plates, which are fixed to a support frame with screws. After the front shell is installed, the front of the rear shell is placed over the back of the front shell as required. At this point, the protrusions on the back of the front shell are inserted into the grooves on the front of the rear shell, and the circular holes on the rear shell are aligned with the corresponding threaded holes. Finally, fixing screws are inserted into the circular holes and screwed into the threaded holes of the corresponding locking plates, completing the overall installation of the torso shell structure.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 The storage compartment 5 is located on the rear shell 12. The rear shell 12 is divided into upper and lower parts, and storage compartments 5 are provided on both the upper and lower parts of the rear shell 12. The bottom of the opening of the storage compartment 5 is provided with a door 18, and a handle opening 22 is opened on the back of the door.

[0034] Because the rear shell is divided into two separate parts, upper and lower, it can be installed on the front shell in two separate steps, reducing installation difficulty. When a component inside the torso shell structure malfunctions and needs repair or replacement, only the corresponding rear shell part needs to be removed, further reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0035] Furthermore, storage compartments are provided on both the upper and lower parts of the rear shell. The two storage compartments are arranged one above the other, and the storage compartments are arranged in a reasonable way to increase the storage space and make the overall structure more reasonable.

[0036] When the compartment door is closed, turning it upwards will close it via magnetic attraction or other means. A handle is located on the back of the door, making it easy for the elderly to open.

[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred structure, such as Figure 5 The support frame 2 has a cover plate 23 on top, which is used to install the robot's head structure. Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the support frame 2 is provided with upper and lower mounting seats 24. The support frame 2 includes two side plates 2.1 on the left and right sides and a front plate 2.2. The front plate 2.2 and the left and right side plates 2.1 have gaps. The middle part of the bracket 4 has matching limiting slots 25 corresponding to the front plate 2.2 and the side plate 2.1 respectively.

[0038] There are three limiting slots. When installing the bracket, align the three limiting slots of the bracket with the front plate and the left and right side plates respectively, and then lock the tail of the bracket to the left and right sides of the support frame to ensure that the bracket is installed securely. The front plate and the left and right side plates have gaps, which can be used to facilitate the layout of internal wiring. In addition, the support frame has two mounting seats, one above the other, which can be used to install power supply components and control components.

[0039] In this structure, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 The front housing 11 is provided with a pair of left and right speakers 26 and a pair of left and right cooling fans 27 respectively above the support frame 2 and below the support frame 2. The speakers 26 are arranged facing forward and the cooling fans 27 are arranged to the side. The front housing 11 has heat dissipation grooves 28 and sound grooves 29 corresponding to the cooling fans 27 and speakers 26.

[0040] The speakers are positioned forward, while the cooling fan is positioned to the side. This reduces noise accumulation. The front housing has ventilation slots and sound slots for both the cooling fan and the speakers, ensuring that the cooling fan can dissipate heat properly and the speakers can project sound clearly.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
