Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of quadruped robots, in particular to a quadruped robot body and a quadruped robot. Background

[0002] Currently, the computing unit of a quadruped robot produces significant heat, imposing high requirements on heat dissipation. Furthermore, quadruped robots are susceptible to external impacts. Therefore, the structure of the quadruped robot body must not only meet heat dissipation requirements but also incorporate safety protection needs to prevent damage to the computing unit when the robot is impacted. Technical Problem

[0003] Furthermore, the Chinese patent with publication number CN210027662U discloses a body joint anti-collision structure and a quadruped robot applying the same. In this technical solution, the hip joint motor mounted on the quadruped robot body requires disassembly and assembly along the axial direction. Consequently, when disassembling or assembling the leg unit and the hip joint motor of the quadruped robot, it is often necessary to remove numerous components from the head and the body of the quadruped robot. This results in low disassembly and assembly efficiency, failing to achieve rapid disassembly and assembly of the leg unit and the hip joint motor.

[0004] The information disclosed in the background is provided solely for understanding the background of the present utility model concept and, therefore, may include information that does not constitute the prior art. Technical Solution

[0005] In view of the above problems or one of the above problems, a first objective of the present utility model is to provide a quadruped robot body that meets heat dissipation requirements of a computing unit carried by a quadruped robot, and can protect the computing unit to prevent damage from external impact.

[0006] In view of the above problems or one of the above problems, a second objective of the present utility model is to provide a quadruped robot body. A heat dissipation compartment cover is provided on an electronic compartment that accommodates a computing unit, to protect the computing unit and simultaneously effectively dissipate heat from the computing unit that produces a great amount of heat. The computing unit is not directly fixed to the electronic compartment but is assembled in the electronic compartment via an elastic member. On one hand, this allows for a larger heat dissipation area and better heat conduction for the computing unit; on the other hand, it provides a buffer when the computing unit is impacted, thus protecting the computing unit.

[0007] In view of the above problems or one of the above problems, a third objective of the present utility model is to provide a quadruped robot that meets heat dissipation requirements of a computing unit carried by a quadruped robot, and can protect the computing unit to prevent damage from external impact.

[0008] In view of the above problems or one of the above problems, a fourth objective of the present utility model is to provide a quadruped robot body and a quadruped robot.
