[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] This utility model embodiment includes a main body 1, a control unit 2, a leg drive motor 3, a battery assembly 4, a head assembly 5, and a self-charging interface assembly 6.

[0027] The main body 1 includes an upper body assembly 11 and a lower body assembly 12, which are fixed together by multiple bolts. Multiple partitions 17 are fixed to the upper body assembly 11 and the lower body assembly 12, dividing the internal space of the main body 1 into four areas. The front and rear areas are leg drive motor mounting areas 13, housing four leg drive motors 3; the middle area is the control unit mounting area 14, housing a control unit 2; and the last area is the battery assembly mounting area 15, housing a battery assembly 4. This division of areas makes the machine structure more compact and clear, preventing interference between devices in each area and improving production efficiency. The partitions 17 also act as reinforcing ribs, increasing the strength of the main body 1. A stepped limiting structure 16 is provided at the joint between the upper body assembly 11 and the lower body assembly 12 to improve the dust and water resistance of the main body 1. The upper surface of the upper fuselage assembly 11 is provided with an expansion space 18 for accommodating an expansion load. A functional expansion interface 19 is provided in the expansion space 18. A fuselage cover 110 is provided on the top of the expansion space 18. The expansion space 18 can be opened and closed by means of the fuselage cover 110.

[0028] The control unit 2 is located in the control unit mounting area 14. It includes a control module 21 and a mounting plate 22. The control module 21 mainly consists of a power module, a computing module, and a main control module. The control module 21 is mounted on the mounting plate 22. The mounting plate 22 is vertically fixed to the partition 17 of the control unit mounting area 14 with screws. Compared with the prior art, which is directly fixed to the main body 1, the vertical mounting method of this utility model has less impact on the control unit 2 from the vibration and deformation of the main body, thus extending its service life.

[0029] Four leg drive motors 3 are installed in the leg drive motor mounting areas 13 on the front and rear sides of the main body 1. Each leg drive motor 3 is fixed to the upper body assembly 11 and the lower body assembly 12 with bolts to provide support for the structural strength of the robot's body.

[0030] The battery assembly 4 is movably mounted on the main body 1, and is supported by the partition 17 and the side walls of the main body 1. The battery assembly 4 is secured to the main body 1 by a snap-fit ​​structure. Battery tops 41 are fixed to the upper body assembly 11 and the lower body assembly 12 of the main body 1. Springs 42 are installed on the battery tops 41 and are connected to the battery assembly 4. When replacing the battery assembly 4, simply loosen the snap-fit ​​structure, and the battery assembly 4 will automatically pop out by the springs 42 on the battery tops 41, thus speeding up the replacement process.

[0031] The head assembly 5 houses electronic components such as sensors and speakers. The head assembly 5 is fixed to the main body 1 via support beams, with both ends of the support beams secured to the head assembly 5 and the main body 1 respectively using screws. The space between the head assembly 5 and the main body 1 is used to accommodate the front mechanical legs. The support beams include an upper support beam 51 and a lower support beam 52. The head assembly 5 is fixed to the upper body assembly 11 and the lower body assembly 12 via the upper support beam 51 and the lower support beam 52 respectively, resulting in greater head stability and less deformation. A bottom cover 53 is fixed to the bottom of the upper support beam 51, and the hollow portion between the upper support beam 51 and the bottom cover 53 can be used for sensor wiring; the upper support beam 51 has openings 54 for threading wires.

[0032] The self-charging interface component 6 is installed at the bottom of the lower body component 12. It includes a self-charging interface 61 and a buffer pad 62. The buffer pad 62 wraps around the self-charging interface 61. When the machine needs to be returned to its charging position, it connects to the charging pile through the self-charging interface 61 for charging, while the buffer pad 62 contacts the charging pile to provide a buffering effect.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be noted that the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ in the shape and name of their components. The above description is merely illustrative of the structure of this utility model. All equivalent or simple variations made based on the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
