Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Furthermore, in CN210027662U, a hip joint collision prevention structure for the body and a quadruped robot applying the same are disclosed. In this technical solution, since the hip joint motor attached to the body of the quadruped robot needs to be disassembled and assembled axially, when detaching and attaching the leg unit and the hip joint motor of the quadruped robot, it is often necessary to remove the head of the quadruped robot and many components on the body. As a result, the detachment and attachment efficiency is low, and rapid detachment and attachment of the leg unit and the hip joint motor cannot be achieved.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background art is used as a background for understanding the idea of the present invention, so it may include information that does not constitute the prior art.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In response to the above problem or one of the above problems, the first object of the present invention is to provide a quadruped robot body that can satisfy the heat dissipation requirements of a computing unit mounted on a quadruped robot, and protect the computing unit to prevent damage to the computing unit due to external impact.

[0007] In response to the above problem or one of the above problems, the second object of the present invention is to provide a quadruped robot body that can protect the computing unit by providing a heat dissipation cover in the electronic compartment where the computing unit is located, while simultaneously being able to effectively dissipate heat from the computing unit, which generates a large amount of heat. Rather than the computing unit being directly fixed to the electronic compartment, the computing unit is assembled into the electronic compartment via an elastic member, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area of ​​the computing unit and improving the heat conduction effect, while also providing a cushioning effect when the computing unit is subjected to impact, thus protecting the computing unit.

[0008] In response to the above problem or one of the above problems, the third object of the present invention is to provide a quadruped robot that can satisfy the heat dissipation requirements of a computing unit mounted on a quadruped robot and protect the computing unit from damage caused by external impacts.

[0009] In response to the above problem or one of the above problems, the fourth object of the present invention is to provide a quadruped robot body and a quadruped robot that, by providing a mounting base having a side opening, allows the power unit and legs to be attached and detached simply by removing the side fixing member without removing other parts on the body of the quadruped robot, making it convenient, quick, and highly efficient for attachment and detachment.

[0010] To achieve one of the above objectives, the first technical solution of this invention is as follows: The quadruped robot's body includes a main body, an electronic compartment on which a computing unit is placed, and a heat dissipation cover that fits the electronic compartment and dissipates heat from the computing unit. An elastic member is provided between the computing unit and the bottom of the electronic compartment so that the computing unit abuts against the heat dissipation cover, and heat dissipation fins are provided on the side of the heat dissipation cover that does not come into contact with the computing unit.

[0011] The quadruped robot body provided by this invention is equipped with a heat dissipation cover on the electronic compartment where the computing unit is located, protecting the computing unit. At the same time, heat dissipation fins are provided on the heat dissipation cover to increase the heat dissipation area and effectively dissipate heat from the computing unit, which generates a large amount of heat. The computing unit is not directly fixed to the body, but rather contacts the heat dissipation cover via an elastic member. This ensures that the computing unit is in close contact with the heat dissipation cover, resulting in better heat conduction. At the same time, a cushioning effect is created when the computing unit is subjected to impact, protecting the computing unit. By providing an elastic member, good contact between the computing unit and the heat dissipation cover is ensured, maintaining good heat dissipation even after long-term use.

[0019] Through continuous exploration and testing, the present invention provides a heat dissipation cover on the electronic compartment where the computing unit is placed, thereby protecting the computing unit while effectively dissipating heat from the computing unit with a large amount of heat generation. The computing unit is not directly fixed on the electronic compartment, but is assembled into the electronic compartment through an elastic member, so that the heat dissipation area of the computing unit is larger and the heat conduction effect is better. At the same time, a buffering effect occurs when the computing unit is impacted, and the computing unit can be protected.

[0020] As a preferred technical means, The body of the machine is an arc-shaped body, a square body or a frame body, Or / and, the electronic compartment is a plate-shaped structure, a housing structure, a square structure, a circular structure, an elliptical structure or a frame structure, Or / and, the elastic member is a spring, a compression spring, an elastic spoke, an elastic rubber or a telescopic rod, Or / and, the computing unit is a central processor, a data processing chip or a motion control chip.

[0022] To achieve one of the above objects, the third technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The body of the quadruped robot includes a body main body having an accommodation chamber, An electronic compartment capable of assembling a computing unit is provided in the accommodation chamber of the body main body, An elastic member for connecting the computing unit is provided in the electronic compartment. The electronic compartment has a plate structure, a housing structure, a square structure, a circular structure, an elliptical structure, or a frame structure, The elastic member is a torsion spring, a compression spring, an elastic spoke, elastic rubber, or a telescopic rod, The calculation unit is a central processor, a data processing chip, or a motion control chip.

[0023] Through continuous exploration and testing, in the present invention, the calculation unit is not directly fixed on the electronic compartment, but is assembled into the electronic compartment through an elastic member.

Effects of the Invention

[0025] Through continuous exploration and testing, in the present invention, by providing a heat dissipation cover on the electronic compartment where the calculation unit is arranged, while protecting the calculation unit, the calculation unit with a large heat generation amount can be effectively dissipated. The calculation unit is not directly fixed on the electronic compartment, but is assembled into the electronic compartment through an elastic member. As a result, the heat dissipation area of the calculation unit becomes larger and the heat conduction effect is better. On the other hand, when the calculation unit is subjected to an impact, a buffering effect occurs, which can protect the calculation unit.

[0026] Furthermore, the quadruped robot body provided by this invention is equipped with a heat dissipation cover on the electronic compartment where the computing unit is located, thereby protecting the computing unit. At the same time, heat dissipation fins are provided on the heat dissipation cover to increase the heat dissipation area, allowing for efficient heat dissipation of the high-heat-generating computing unit. The computing unit is not directly fixed to the body, but rather contacts the heat dissipation cover via an elastic member. This ensures that the computing unit is in close contact with the heat dissipation cover, resulting in better heat conduction. At the same time, a cushioning effect is generated when the computing unit is subjected to impact, protecting the computing unit. The provision of an elastic member ensures good contact between the computing unit and the heat dissipation cover, maintaining good heat dissipation even after long-term use. It also protects the computing unit, and when the body is subjected to external impact, it dampens vibrations and absorbs shocks, preventing damage to the computing unit.
