Humanoid Robot Heat Discharge Garment Cooling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Humanoid robots face challenges in cooling their heat-generating portions due to air flow blockages caused by their posture, which prevents effective heat dissipation across their entire body.
Innovation Solution
A humanoid robot equipped with a heat discharge garment and an air blower that blows external air into the robot, with an air blowing flow path between the garment and the outer shell, ensuring consistent cooling even in complex postures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If air is blown into the humanoid robot to cool heat-generating portions, then cooling effectiveness is improved, but air flow may be blocked in some portions depending on robot posture
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new spatial dimension by placing the air blowing flow path between the heat discharge garment and the outer shell, creating a three-dimensional cooling channel that surrounds the robot body. This dimensional approach ensures air can reach heat-generating portions from multiple directions regardless of robot posture, resolving the air flow blockage problem while maintaining effective cooling.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If a skin portion is added to cover the humanoid robot body, then protection is improved, but weight and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The heat discharge garment serves multiple functions simultaneously: it protects the robot body from external harmful factors (dust, water) while also functioning as a thermal management system that discharges heat. By integrating these two functions into a single component, the patent eliminates the need for a separate skin portion, thereby reducing weight and cost while maintaining protection effectiveness.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This configuration effectively cools the entire humanoid robot body by maintaining airflow pathways and preventing blockages, enhancing heat dissipation and reducing weight and costs by eliminating the need for a skin portion on the body.
Implementation Method 1
an air blower provided in the humanoid robot or the heat discharge garment to blow external air into the humanoid robot or the heat discharge garment
Implementation Method 2
a protective garment for the humanoid robot uses a fabric having high heat dissipation (material having a multi-layer structure of nylon fiber and nylon fiber and polyurethane foam resin) in order to externally dissipate heat of the humanoid robot
