Abstract
Description
Airframe, robot and robotic system Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of intelligent robots, and more specifically, to a body, a robot, and a robot system. Background Art
[0002] Smart mowing robots are devices that facilitate the mowing of lawns and vegetation, featuring automated movement, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and autonomous operation within a defined range. They can follow input commands to mow lawns in a designated area without human intervention, effectively replacing manual mowing tasks and reducing labor intensity.
[0003] Smart lawn mower robots operate in complex, weed-filled outdoor environments, so they need to be waterproof, moisture-proof, and have heat dissipation capabilities. The key to waterproofing and moisture-proofing is a sealed structure, but the better the sealing, the less air circulation and the worse the heat dissipation effect. Due to the small size of lawn mower robots, the electronic components and related equipment are highly integrated, especially the artificial intelligence (AI) chip integrated into the circuit board of the smart lawn mower robot. The massive amount of calculations will cause the temperature of the AI chip to rise rapidly. If the heat is not dissipated properly, it will cause the circuit board and electronic components to malfunction, affecting the normal operation of the smart lawn mower robot and even burning the circuit board and components.

[0038] Intelligent robots, especially those used outdoors, operate in complex environments exposed to the elements and often require waterproofing, moisture resistance, and heat dissipation. The key to waterproofing and moisture resistance is a sealed structure. However, the better the seal, the less air circulation there is, and the worse the heat dissipation.
[0039] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a fuselage, please refer to Figures 1 to 23, the fuselage includes: a casing 11, a control board 12, a visual module 13 and a radiator 14, wherein a sealed cavity 111 is provided in the casing 11, and a heat dissipation channel 112 is also provided on the casing 11, and the heat dissipation channel 112 is connected to the outside and is independent of the sealed cavity 111; the control board 12 is provided in the sealed cavity 111, and an AI chip 121 is provided on the control board 12; the visual module 13 is provided on the casing 11, and the visual module 13 is at least partially located in the sealed cavity 111, and the visual module 13 is electrically connected to the AI chip 121; the radiator 14 is provided on the casing 11, a part of the radiator 14 is located in the sealed cavity 111, and the other part is located in the heat dissipation channel 112, and the radiator 14 is used to dissipate heat for the AI chip 121.
[0040] When the visual module 13 is also provided on the housing 11, the visual module 13 is used to collect real-time image information of the surrounding environment of the housing. The AI chip 121 processes the collected image information to identify obstacles or objects in the environment. The AI chip 121 typically needs to perform a large amount of calculations when processing the image information collected by the visual module 13, which can easily cause its surface temperature to rise excessively.
[0041] In this solution, a sealed cavity 111 and a heat dissipation channel 112 are provided on the housing 11. The sealed cavity 111 and the heat dissipation channel 112 are independent of each other. Electronic components such as a control board 12 can be installed in the sealed cavity 111, and the sealed cavity 111 is used to protect the electronic components such as the control board 12. An AI chip 121 is provided on the control board 12. When the AI chip 121 performs a large number of calculations and causes its surface temperature to rise too quickly, a radiator 14 is further provided to dissipate heat from the AI chip 121 to reduce the temperature of the AI chip 121. Specifically, a mounting position for heat sink 14 is provided on housing 11, and heat sink 14 is fixed to housing 11. One end of heat sink 14 extends into sealed cavity 111 to receive heat generated by high-heat-generating electronic components such as AI chip 121. Heat sink 14 can directly contact AI chip 121 to transfer heat, or it can transfer heat generated by AI chip 121 during operation to heat sink 14 via heat-conducting components such as heat blocks. Heat sink 14 can even be spaced apart from AI chip 121, indirectly dissipating heat from sealed cavity 111 through heat sink 14. Heat can be conducted within the heat sink, while the other end of heat sink 14 extends into heat dissipation channel 112, which is connected to the outside world. Gas flow within heat dissipation channel 112 can remove heat from heat sink 14, achieving continuous heat exchange with heat sink 14, and transferring heat from AI chip 121 and sealed cavity 111 to the outside of housing 11, thereby reducing the temperature of AI chip 121 and the sealed cavity 111. In addition, by locating the visual module 13 at least partially in the sealed cavity 111, the housing 11 can be used to protect the visual module 13 from water and sun, and on the other hand, it is convenient to electrically connect the visual module 13 to the control board 12 to realize data transmission and control.
[0042] This embodiment provides a mutually independent sealed cavity 111 and heat dissipation channel 112 within the housing 11. Sealed cavity 111 is used to mount electronic components such as the control board 12. A heat sink 14 is also provided on the housing 11 to dissipate heat from the AI chip 121 and sealed cavity 111. Part of the heat sink 14 resides within the sealed cavity 111 to receive heat from the AI chip 121 on the control board 12, while the other part resides within the heat dissipation channel 112, exchanging heat with the external airflow and thereby transferring heat from the AI chip 121 to the outside world. This not only meets the sealing requirements for electronic component installation but also solves the heat dissipation problem within the sealed cavity 111.
[0043] Optionally, the radiator 14 is detachably connected to the housing 11 to facilitate maintenance.
[0044] Optionally, the sealed cavity 111 is arranged adjacent to the heat dissipation channel 112, and one end of the heat sink 14 can be arranged in the sealed cavity 111, in contact with electronic components with high heat generation such as the AI chip 121, for heat conduction.
[0045] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 3 to 8 , the fuselage further includes a positioning module 16 , which is disposed in the sealed cavity 111 . The positioning module 16 includes a positioning chip and a positioning antenna. The positioning antenna is electrically connected to the positioning chip, and the positioning chip is electrically connected to the AI chip 121 .
[0046] Specifically, in this solution, a positioning module 16 can also be provided in the fuselage. The positioning module 16 is electrically connected to the control board 12. The positioning module 16 is used to obtain the positioning information of the fuselage, and the control board 12 controls the movement of the fuselage through the positioning information. The positioning module 16 may include a positioning chip and a positioning antenna. The positioning antenna can receive satellite data. The positioning chip can obtain the fuselage positioning information by processing the satellite data received by the positioning antenna, and transmit the fuselage positioning information to the AI chip 121 for calculation, so as to realize the planning and control of the movement. In one example, the positioning antenna is a real-time kinematic antenna (RTK), and the positioning chip is a global positioning system (GPS) chip.
[0047] In this embodiment, the positioning module 16 is disposed in the sealed cavity 111 , and the sealed cavity 111 is used to protect the positioning module 16 to prevent the positioning module 16 from being exposed to the external environment and possibly causing damage or malfunction, thereby increasing the service life of the positioning module 16 .
[0048] In one embodiment, the positioning chip is disposed on the control board 12 , and the positioning antenna is disposed on the housing 11 and spaced apart from the control board 12 .
[0049] Specifically, in this solution, the positioning chip is integrated into the control board 12 and can communicate with the AI chip 121 on the control board 12. The positioning antenna can be independently installed on the housing 11, and the satellite data acquired by the positioning antenna can be transmitted to the positioning chip. Optionally, the positioning antenna is installed on the top of the housing 11 to better receive signals and reduce signal interference.
[0050] This embodiment separates the positioning antenna from the control board 12, enabling independent maintenance of the positioning antenna, facilitating maintenance and reducing maintenance costs. The independent positioning antenna also reduces the component density of the control board 12, lowering the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the control board 12.
[0051] In one embodiment, the fuselage also includes a communication module, which is arranged in the sealed cavity 111. The communication module includes a communication board 124 and a communication antenna. A communication chip is arranged on the communication board 124.

[0052] Specifically, in this solution, the communication module is used to realize communication between the base station and the control board 12. The communication module includes a communication board 124 and a communication antenna. The communication antenna is used to receive signals from the base station, and the communication chip provided on the communication board 124 is used to process the signals. The communication chip is electrically connected to the positioning chip to realize data transmission between the communication chip and the positioning chip. The communication chip can receive data sent by the base station through the communication antenna. The communication chip sends the data to the positioning chip, and performs correction calculations with the satellite data received by the positioning antenna to obtain more accurate position information of the fuselage. In one example, the communication chip is a WI-FI chip and the communication antenna is a rubber stick antenna.
[0053] This embodiment places the communication module within sealed cavity 111, which also prevents damage or malfunction caused by exposure to complex environments. The communication chip receives or sends information via the communication antenna. The communication chip is electrically connected to AI chip 121, enabling information transmission between the communication chip and AI chip 121.
[0054] In one embodiment, the communication board 124 is disposed on the control board 12 . The communication board 124 is located between the control board 12 and the heat sink 14 . The heat sink 14 is also used to dissipate heat for the communication chip.
[0055] Specifically, in this solution, the communication board 124 is also arranged on the control board 12. The communication board 124 is arranged close to the radiator 14, and the communication chip on the communication board 124 is in contact with the radiator 14. The heat of the communication chip can be conducted to the outside of the casing 11 through the radiator 14, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation of the communication chip.
[0056] In one embodiment, the communication antenna is disposed on the housing 11 and is spaced apart from the communication board 124 .
[0057] The communication antenna can be provided on the housing 11 and is independent of the communication board 124. The communication antenna is electrically connected to the communication chip. The communication chip can receive or transmit information via the communication antenna. In one example, the communication antenna can be provided on the top of the housing 11 to facilitate receiving or transmitting information.
[0058] In this embodiment, the communication antenna is spaced apart from the communication board 124, which allows for independent maintenance of the communication antenna, facilitating maintenance and reducing maintenance costs. The independent communication antenna also reduces the component density of the communication board 124, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the communication board 124.
[0059] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 11 and 20, the body further includes a key module 15, a second mounting opening 114 is provided on the housing 11, the key module 15 is installed at the second mounting opening 114 and blocks the second mounting opening 114, and the control board 12 is electrically connected to the key module 15.
[0060] Specifically, in this solution, a key module 15 may be further provided on the fuselage. The key module 15 is electrically connected to the control panel 12 , and one or more control functions may be implemented through the key module 15 .
[0061] The housing 11 may be provided with a second mounting opening 114 for securing the key module 15. The key module 15 is mounted at the second mounting opening 114, with a portion of the key module 15 positioned outside the housing 11, facilitating key operation. A sealing structure or gasket may be provided between the key module 15 and the second mounting opening 114 to seal the sealed cavity 111 from the key module 15.
[0062] In one example, the key module 15 may also be provided with a sealing structure to ensure that the key module 15 is waterproof and dustproof.
[0063] In this embodiment, the key module 15 is installed at the second installation opening 114 , and a sealing structure is formed between the key module 15 and the second installation opening 114 , which can prevent rain or dew from penetrating into the housing 11 through the second installation opening 114 , thereby protecting the components inside the housing 11 .
[0064] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 9 to 11, the key module 15 includes: a mounting shell 151, the mounting shell 151 is connected to the housing 11, the mounting shell 151 has a first side 154 and a second side 155 opposite to each other, the first side 154 of the mounting shell 151 is the side facing the sealed cavity 111, and the mounting shell 151 is provided with a through hole connecting the first side 154 and the second side 155 of the mounting shell 151; a function key assembly 152, the function key assembly 152 includes a key plate 153, a flexible elastic sheet 159 and at least one first key, the elastic sheet 159 is fixed to the first side 154 of the mounting shell 151 and covers the through hole, the first key is provided on the elastic sheet 159 and can be movably inserted into the through hole, the key plate 153 is fixed to the first side 154 of the mounting shell 151 and is located on the side of the elastic sheet 159 away from the mounting shell 151, a touch switch corresponding to the first key is provided on the key plate 153, and the key plate 153 is electrically connected to the control board 12.
[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, a mounting shell 151 connected to the housing 11 provides support for the function button assembly 152. The function button assembly 152 is mounted on the mounting shell 151, with a portion of the function button assembly 152 exposed outside the mounting shell 151. The inner and outer surfaces of the mounting shell 151 correspond to the first side 154 and the second side 155, respectively. The mounting shell 151 defines a through hole connecting the first side 154 and the second side 155.

[0066] In one example, the function key assembly 152 may include one or more first keys, which may be various types of keys, such as a power switch, a start button, or a charging button. The elastic sheet 159 may be a silicone sheet or a rubber sheet. The key panel 153 is disposed on one side of the elastic sheet 159 and may be in contact with the elastic sheet 159 in a pressing manner or may be spaced apart from the elastic sheet 159.

By providing the flexible elastic sheet 159 to cover the through hole and arranging the key panel 153 on the side of the elastic sheet 159 away from the shell, rainwater or dew is prevented from penetrating into the mounting shell 151 through the through hole and then continuing to reach the key panel 153, and the problem of the key panel 153 of the key module 15 being soaked by rainwater or dew is solved.

Because the first mounting portion 131 has a larger profile than the second mounting portion 132, the first mounting portion 131 abuts against the edge of the first mounting opening 113 outside the housing 11. At the same time, the edge of the first mounting opening 113 provides support for the mounting seat.
[0078] In one example, the camera is fixed in the mounting cavity 136 on the mounting base. A portion of the mounting base is located on one side of the first mounting port 113, and another portion of the mounting base is located on the other side of the first mounting port 113. The first mounting port 113 supports the mounting base. A window hole 11711 corresponding to the visual module 13 can also be provided on the housing 11 to prevent the housing 11 from blocking the visual module 13 from capturing images. The window hole 11711 corresponds to the camera of the visual module 13. In one example, the lens of the camera does not protrude from the window hole 11711, and a lens 133 can be provided on the mounting base to protect the lens. The lens 133 can be optionally a transparent lens, and the material of the lens 133 can be glass or acrylic.
[0079] This embodiment cooperates with the casing 11 through the first mounting portion 131 and the second mounting portion 132 arranged in a stepped manner. Specifically, the first mounting portion 131 abuts against the outer surface of the casing 11, and the second mounting portion 132 extends into the mounting hole and cooperates with the gap of the mounting hole. The casing 11 has a limiting support function for the mounting seat, which can ensure a stable connection between the mounting seat and the casing 11, and at the same time can prevent water vapor, impurities, etc. from entering the sealed cavity 111 through the mounting hole.
[0080] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 12, a rib 135 is provided on one side surface of the first mounting portion 131, and the rib 135 is arranged around the second mounting portion 132. A slot 134 is provided on the side surface of the housing 11 facing away from the sealing cavity 111, and the slot 134 is arranged around the first mounting opening 113; a first sealing ring 137 is installed in the slot 134, and the rib 135 is inserted into the slot 134 and abuts against the first sealing ring 137.
[0081] Specifically, in this solution, one side of the first mounting portion 131 is close to the second mounting portion 132, and the rib 135 is arranged on the first mounting portion 131 around the outline of the second mounting portion 132. When the second mounting portion 132 is inserted into the first mounting opening 113 on the casing 11, the rib 135 directly abuts against the periphery of the first mounting opening 113, and the rib 135 is in close contact with the casing 11 to seal the first mounting portion 131 and the casing 11.
[0082] Specifically, in this solution, a slot 134 is provided on the outer surface of the housing 11 around the first mounting port 113, a first sealing ring 137 is provided in the slot 134, the slot 134 is matched with the rib 135, the rib 135 is inserted into the slot 134 and abuts against the first sealing ring 137, and the rib 135 and the slot 134 form a sealing structure for sealing between the housing 11 and the mounting seat.
[0083] In this embodiment, the rib 135 surrounding the second mounting portion 132 is plugged into the slot 134 set on the surface of the casing 11, and a sealing ring is set in the slot 134 to improve the sealing around the first mounting port 113; at the same time, the slot 134 can also limit the mounting seat to prevent the visual module 13 from shifting.
[0084] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 7 and 8, the casing 11 includes a bottom shell 115 and an upper shell 116. The upper shell 116 is mounted on the bottom shell 115 and encloses the bottom shell 115 to form a sealed cavity 111. The casing 11 also includes a decorative shell 117. The decorative shell 117 is covered on the outside of the upper shell 116 and fixed on the bottom shell 115. The decorative shell 117, the upper shell 116 and the bottom shell 115 enclose an insulating cavity 110.
[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 11 consists of a bottom housing 115, an upper housing 116, and a decorative housing 117. The upper housing 116 is mounted on the bottom housing 115. The space enclosed by the upper and lower housings 115 is called a sealed cavity 111. The control board 12 is mounted within the sealed cavity 111. In one example, the upper housing 116 is smaller than the bottom housing 115 and is mounted within the bottom housing 115. The decorative housing 117 is mounted outside the upper housing 116 and is spaced apart from the upper housing 116. The decorative housing 117 is fixed to the bottom housing 115, and the upper housing 116 is located within the space enclosed by the decorative housing 117 and the bottom housing 115. The space enclosed by the upper and lower housings 116, 117, and 115 is called an insulating cavity 110. The insulating cavity 110 primarily provides insulation, preventing direct sunlight from reaching the upper housing 116 and raising the temperature within the sealed cavity 111. It should be understood that the heat-insulating cavity 110 is formed by the outer surface of the upper shell 116 , the inner surface of the decorative shell 117 , and the inner surface of the bottom shell 115 .
[0086] The shape and size of sealed cavity 111 can be tailored to the components installed therein. The space within sealed cavity 111 can be regular or irregular. To further reduce the temperature within sealed cavity 111, a heat sink can be installed within sealed cavity 111 to achieve this cooling purpose. The heat sink can include a heat sink that directly contacts the outside world, exchanging heat with the outside world through the heat sink. This maintains the temperature within sealed cavity 111 within a relatively low threshold, ensuring the proper functioning of electronic components within sealed cavity 111, such as control board 12.
[0087] In one example, as shown in FIG2 , the bottom housing 115 further includes a speaker 119 and a burn port 120 . These are connected to the control board 12 via wires. Speaker 119 is used to play sound. Burn port 120 is connected to an external device. Alternatively, speaker 119 and burn port 120 are located within the heat-insulating cavity 110 .
[0088] In one example, referring to FIG2 , the bottom shell 115 further includes a handle 118 , the handle 118 includes a first sub-portion and a second sub-portion, the first sub-portion is integrally provided with the bottom shell 115 , the second sub-portion is connected to the first sub-portion, and the edge of the decorative shell 117 is aligned with the edge of the second sub-portion.
[0089] In this embodiment, a handle 118 is provided for easy holding or carrying, and the first sub-portion is integrally provided with the bottom shell 115 to improve the structural strength of the handle 118 .
[0090] In one example, referring to Figures 3 to 6 and 17 to 19, decorative shell 117 includes a front decorative shell 1171, a middle decorative shell 1172, and a rear decorative shell 1173. Front decorative shell 1171 and rear decorative shell 1173 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of bottom shell 115, while middle decorative shell 1172 is disposed in the middle of bottom shell 115. Front decorative shell 1171, middle decorative shell 1172, and rear decorative shell 1173 are connected in sequence.
[0091] The front decorative shell 1171 can be provided with a viewing window 11711 corresponding to the visual module 13. The middle decorative shell 1172 can be configured as a U-shaped structure. The rear decorative shell 1173 can be provided with louvers 11731 for ventilation and heat dissipation. The front decorative shell 1171, middle decorative shell 1172, and rear decorative shell 1173 can all be detachably connected to the bottom shell 115 for easy maintenance.
[0092] In this embodiment, the casing 11 is composed of three independent bottom shells 115, upper shell 116 and decorative shell 117, which are combined to form two independent cavities, wherein the heat-insulating cavity 110 surrounds the sealed cavity 111, and the sealed cavity 111 is used to install components such as circuit boards. The heat-insulating cavity 110 is used for heat insulation, which overcomes the problem of the temperature in the sealed cavity 111 rising sharply due to direct sunlight on the casing 11.
[0093] In one embodiment, the heat dissipation channel 112 includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet and the air outlet are respectively arranged at the front end and the rear end of the housing 11. The heat dissipation channel 112 is a straight channel.
[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air inlet is located at the front end of the heat dissipation channel 112, where the front end refers to the end of the heat dissipation channel 112 facing forward from the housing 11. The air outlet is located at the rear end of the heat dissipation channel 112, where the rear end refers to the end of the heat dissipation channel 112 facing backward from the housing 11. When the vehicle is moving forward, as air flows from the front to the rear of the housing 11, a portion of the air will flow into the heat dissipation channel 112 through the air inlet and out of the air outlet. The faster the vehicle moves forward, the higher the air velocity within the heat dissipation channel 112, and the better the heat exchange effect of the radiator 14 in the heat dissipation channel 112.
[0095] The heat dissipation channel 112 can be provided throughout the housing 11, with the air inlet of the heat dissipation channel 112 located at the front end of the housing 11 and the air outlet of the heat dissipation channel 112 located at the rear end of the housing 11. Providing the heat dissipation channel 112 throughout the housing 11 can simultaneously dissipate heat from other functional modules arranged on the heat dissipation channel 112, thus fully utilizing the space. The heat dissipation channel 112 can also be provided only near the sealed cavity 111, dissipating heat only from the control board 12 within the sealed cavity 111.
[0096] In one example, the heat dissipation channel 112 can be set as a straight channel. The straight channel has lower wind resistance, faster airflow velocity, larger airflow volume flowing through the heat dissipation channel 112 per unit time, and higher heat exchange efficiency.
[0097] In this embodiment, the air inlet and outlet of the heat dissipation channel 112 are located at the front and rear ends of the housing 11, respectively. The heat dissipation channel 112 is configured as a straight channel, which further facilitates air circulation. As the robot continues to move forward, air continuously enters the heat dissipation channel 112 from the front end of the housing and flows out of the heat dissipation channel 112 from the rear end of the housing, promoting air flow within the heat dissipation channel 112 and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0098] In one embodiment, a filter is provided in the heat dissipation channel 112 .
[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, the filter can be installed at any position within the heat dissipation channel 112 as needed. Alternatively, the filter can be installed at the air inlet. The number of filters installed within the heat dissipation channel 112 can be one or more, and the pore size of the filters can also be selected as needed. When multiple filters are installed, a combination of filters with different pore sizes can also be selected.
[0100] In this embodiment, a filter is provided to filter out objects such as leaves, plant debris, etc. that may enter the heat dissipation channel 112 and may block the heat dissipation channel 112, thereby ensuring smooth airflow in the heat dissipation channel 112.
[0101] In one embodiment, a fan is provided in the heat dissipation channel 112 , and the fan is used to accelerate the flow of gas in the heat dissipation channel 112 .
[0102] In one example, the fan may be an axial flow fan. The fan may be positioned at any location in the heat dissipation channel 112 according to actual conditions. The number of fans may be one or more. It is understood that when multiple fans are provided, the airflow directions must be the same.
[0103] Turning on the fan can increase the flow rate of the gas entering the heat dissipation channel 112 , thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the airflow and the radiator 14 .
[0104] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 7, 8, 16 and 21, a third mounting opening 1151 is provided on the housing 11, and the radiator 14 is mounted on the third mounting opening 1151; the radiator 14 includes an integrally arranged contact plate 141 and heat dissipation fins 142, the contact plate 141 is located in the sealed cavity 111 and blocks the third mounting opening 1151, the heat dissipation fins 142 extend from the third mounting opening 1151 into the heat dissipation channel 112, and the contact plate 141 contacts the AI chip 121.
[0105] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third mounting opening 1151 is used to mount the radiator 14. The heat dissipation fins 142 of the radiator 14 extend through the third mounting opening 1151 and into the heat dissipation channel 112. The contact plate 141 of the radiator 14 blocks and is fixed to the third mounting opening 1151. The contact plate 141 seals the third mounting opening 1151, allowing the control board 12 in the sealed cavity 111 to contact the contact plate 141, thereby dissipating heat from the control board 12. The shape and size of the third mounting opening 1151 can be adjusted to match the contour of the radiator 14.
[0106] In one example, a third mounting opening 1151 is provided on the housing 11, and the sealed cavity 111 is disposed adjacent to the heat dissipation channel 112. The third mounting opening 1151 is located on a wall shared by the sealed cavity 111 and the heat dissipation channel 112. When the radiator 14 is not installed, the sealed cavity 111 and the heat dissipation channel 112 can communicate through the third mounting opening 1151. When the radiator 14 is installed, the heat dissipation fins 142 of the radiator 14 extend from the third mounting opening 1151 into the heat dissipation channel 112, and the contact plate 141 of the radiator 14 is located in the sealed cavity 111, and the contact plate 141 blocks the third mounting opening 1151. It is understood that the contact plate 141 completely covers the third mounting opening 1151. Optionally, the contact plate 141 can be detachably fixed to the third mounting opening 1151 by bolting, thereby facilitating disassembly and maintenance of the radiator 14. After heat sink 14 is secured, contact plate 141 directly contacts AI chip 121 or other high-heat-generating components on control board 12, transferring heat from them. This heat is transferred through contact plate 141 to cooling fins 142, which then exchange heat with the external airflow within heat dissipation channel 112, achieving heat dissipation.
[0107] In this embodiment, third mounting opening 1151 is used to mount radiator 14. Heat sink 14's cooling fins 142 extend through third mounting opening 1151 and into heat dissipation channel 112. Contact plate 141 of radiator 14 blocks and is secured to third mounting opening 1151. Contact plate 141 seals third mounting opening 1151 and contacts AI chip 121 to dissipate heat from AI chip 121. Radiator 14 maintains a sealed cavity 111 and dissipates heat from AI chip 121, resulting in a simple structure and easy maintenance.
[0108] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 8 , a second sealing ring 1153 is disposed around the third installation opening 1151 , and the second sealing ring 1153 is clamped between the contact plate 141 and the housing 11 .
[0109] This solution can further enhance the sealing effect between the contact plate 141 and the shell by providing a second sealing ring 1153. In one embodiment, referring to FIG8 , a receiving groove 1152 is provided around the third mounting port 1151, and the second sealing ring 1153 is accommodated in the receiving groove 1152. The opening of the receiving groove 1152 faces the inside of the sealing cavity 111, and the receiving groove 1152 is provided at the edge of the third mounting port 1151 and surrounds the third mounting port 1151. A second sealing ring 1153 is provided in the receiving groove 1152, and the second sealing ring 1153 is crimped with the contact plate 141 of the radiator 14, and is used to seal the contact plate 141 and the third mounting port 1151. The size of the receiving groove 1152 can be matched according to the size of the second sealing ring 1153. It should be understood that the depth of the receiving groove 1152 is less than the height of the second sealing ring 1153 after being crimped.
[0110] This solution limits and fixes the second sealing ring 1153 by providing the accommodating groove 1152, thereby overcoming the problem that the second sealing ring 1153 may be misplaced when installing the second sealing ring 1153, thereby affecting the sealing effect or causing the sealing to fail.
[0111] In one embodiment, a thermal conductive adhesive layer is disposed between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 .
[0112] The thermal conductive adhesive layer disposed between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 can alleviate the problem of poor heat conduction caused by the gap between the AI chip 121 and the contact plate 141 .
[0113] In one embodiment, a thermally conductive adhesive layer is provided between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121. The thermally conductive adhesive layer has good thermal conductivity and can be made of thermally conductive adhesive. When the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) have poor contact, the thermally conductive adhesive can be applied to ensure good contact between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 (or other heating element), thereby improving thermal conductivity efficiency.
[0114] In this embodiment, a thermal conductive adhesive layer is provided between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 to improve the thermal conductivity, thereby overcoming the problem of poor thermal conduction caused by a gap or poor contact between the AI chip 121 and the contact plate 141 .
[0115] In one embodiment, a heat conducting block may be further provided between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121, and a heat conducting adhesive layer may be provided between the heat conducting block and the contact plate 141 and between the heat conducting block and the AI chip 121. A heat conducting block may also be provided between the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) for heat conduction. The heat conducting block has good thermal conductivity and is usually made of a metal material with high thermal conductivity. In one example, there is a distance between the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) and the contact plate 141, and a heat conducting block is required to connect the contact plate 141 and the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) so that the heat generated when the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) is working is transferred to the radiator 14.
[0116] In one example, a thermally conductive adhesive layer can be provided between the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) and the heat conductive block. The thermally conductive adhesive layer has good thermal conductivity and can be composed of thermally conductive adhesive. When the heat conductive block and the AI chip 121 (or other heating element) have poor contact, the thermally conductive adhesive can be applied to ensure good contact between the heat conductive block and the AI chip 121 (or other heating element), thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.
[0117] In one example, the heat sink 142 can be integrally formed with the contact plate 141. A plurality of heat sink fins 142 can be provided. Multiple heat sink fins 142 can increase the heat dissipation area of the radiator 14, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. The plurality of heat sink fins 142 can be arranged in parallel, and the same distance can be set between any adjacent heat sink fins 142. The plurality of heat sink fins 142 can be long strips, and the extension direction of the plurality of heat sink fins 142 can be the same as the extension direction of the heat dissipation channel 112. The purpose is to reduce the wind resistance within the heat dissipation channel 112, increase the airflow velocity, and thereby improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat sink fins 142 within the heat dissipation channel 112. Optionally, the shape of the heat sink fins 142 is set to be rectangular.
[0118] This embodiment increases the heat dissipation area by providing multiple heat dissipation fins 142, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 14. The extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 142 is aligned with the extension direction of the heat dissipation channel 112 to reduce wind resistance through the heat dissipation channel 112, increase the flow rate of the airflow, and thus improve the heat exchange efficiency between the airflow and the heat sink 14.
[0119] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 22 and 23, the control board 12 includes a base board 122 and a core board 123. The core board 123 is detachably set on the base board 122, and the base board 122 and the core board 123 transmit signals through a connector; the AI chip 121 is set on the core board 123, and the AI chip 121 includes a CPU. The AI chip 121 also includes an NPU and / or a GPU.
[0120] Specifically, in this embodiment, baseboard 122 is a printed circuit board (PCB) on which a variety of basic functional modules and external interfaces are provided. Core board 123 is a circuit board that integrates an AI computing module. The connection between core board 123 and baseboard 122 can realize one or more specific functions. Core board 123 can be electrically connected to baseboard 122 via a connector to enable signal transmission between core board 123 and baseboard 122.
[0121] In this embodiment, the core board 123 provided with the AI chip 121 and the base board 122 are set as two independent circuit boards. The core board 123 and the base board 122 are electrically connected through a connector. The core board 123 and the connector are detachably connected. The function setting of the control board 12 is very flexible, and the processing and maintenance are simple and convenient, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0122] As a foundational board, the base plate 122 provides interfaces for various functional modules. With the continuous development of electronic technology, the number of layers and component density on printed circuit boards (PCBs) continues to increase, while the spacing between traces gradually decreases. This has made signal integrity a key consideration when designing digital circuit systems. The higher the density of the PCB, the greater the likelihood of signal transmission interference, which can adversely affect the performance and stability of the electronic system. The present embodiment also addresses the issues of excessive component density on the base plate 122 and difficulty in trace design by independently providing the base plate 122 and core board 123.
[0123] In addition to the CPU, the AI chip 121 may also include one or more chips such as NPU and GPU.

[0125] An embodiment of the present application also provides a robot comprising the body as described above.
[0126] This embodiment uses the aforementioned housing, with sealed cavity 111 and heat dissipation channel 112 on housing 11 separately arranged. A heat sink 14 is also provided on housing 11. A portion of heat sink 14 resides within sealed cavity 111 and receives heat from AI chip 121 on control board 12, allowing heat to be conducted through the heat sink. Another portion of heat sink 14 resides within heat dissipation channel 112 and exchanges heat with the external airflow, thereby conducting heat from AI chip 121 to the outside world and dissipating heat from AI chip 121. This embodiment not only meets the waterproof and dustproof requirements within sealed cavity 111, but also alleviates the problem of increased temperature caused by heat conduction from AI chip 121.
[0127] In addition, an embodiment of the present application also provides a robot system, see Figure 24, the robot system includes a first body 1 and at least one second body 2 for detachably connecting to the first body 1, and the first body 1 is the body described above.
[0128] In this embodiment, the robot system includes at least two bodies, wherein the first body 1 is the body described above.

A heat sink 14 is provided on the housing 11, and the control board 12 is disposed within the sealed cavity 111. Part of the heat sink 14 is located within the sealed cavity 111 and is used to receive heat from the AI chip 121 on the control board 12. The heat can be conducted within the heat sink. Another part of the heat sink 14 is located within the heat dissipation channel 112 and exchanges heat with the external airflow, thereby conducting the heat from the AI chip 121 to the outside world. This not only meets the sealing requirements for the installation of electronic components, but also solves the heat dissipation problem within the sealed cavity 111.
[0129] In one embodiment, the first body 1 further includes a heat-insulating cavity 110 , wherein the sealed cavity 111 is used to install electronic components. The heat-insulating cavity 110 is used for heat insulation, thereby overcoming the problem of a sharp rise in temperature in the sealed cavity 111 due to sunlight.
[0130] In one embodiment, the first body 1 and the second body 2 are distributed vertically, and the second body 2 is provided with a running mechanism 3 and a functional mechanism.
[0131] Specifically, in this embodiment, the robot system comprises two upper and lower bodies. The sealed cavity 111 and heat dissipation channel 112 are located within the higher-positioned first body 1. This prevents the entry of debris into the heat dissipation channel 112, ensuring smooth airflow within the channel 112 and reducing the impact of rain, dew, and other factors on the sealed cavity 111. The lower-positioned second body 2 houses a walking mechanism 3 and a functional mechanism. The walking mechanism 3 is used to guide the robot along the ground, while the functional mechanism is used to perform functional operations on the ground, such as cutting, cleaning, and polishing. In this manner, the first body 1 serves as the "brain" of the robot system, while the second body 2 serves as its "limbs." The first body 1 controls the operations of the second body 2.
[0132] In one embodiment, the robot system comprises at least two second bodies 2, each of which has different functional mechanisms, including at least one of a cutting mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a polishing mechanism. The robot system comprises multiple second bodies 2, each of which can be equipped with a different functional mechanism, such as a cutting mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a polishing mechanism, etc. It will be understood that when the functional mechanism is a cutting mechanism, the robot is a lawn mowing robot, and when the functional mechanism is a cleaning mechanism, the robot is a cleaning robot. Generally, different functional mechanisms correspond to different functions of the corresponding second bodies 2.
[0133] In this embodiment, by setting the robot system to include a first body 1 and multiple second bodies 2 with different functional mechanisms, the first body 1 can be used as a common control platform to connect and combine with the second bodies 2 with different functions to obtain robots with different functions.
[0134] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
