Robot Head Rotating Structure for Human-Like Motion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional intelligent robots are limited in their ability to swing back and forth like a human head, which restricts their automation capabilities.
Innovation Solution
A robot head rotating structure comprising a housing, a fixing frame, a connection assembly, and a rotary driving apparatus, where the connection assembly includes a fixing shaft and a flange rotatably installed to the fixing shaft, and the rotary driving apparatus enables the flange to rotate around the fixing shaft, allowing the robot head to swing back and forth and perform raising and bowing motions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If the robot head is directly fixed on the trunk or installed via a rotary table in horizontal rotation manner, then the structure is simple and stable, but the head is incapable of swinging back and forth like a human head, reducing automation capability
Solution Approach 1:
The robot head structure is segmented into multiple independent components: the head housing, the fixing frame, the connection assembly with flange and fixing shaft, and the rotary driving apparatus. This segmentation allows the head to achieve complex human-like motions (swinging back and forth, raising and bowing) through coordinated rotation of discrete parts, thereby improving automation capability while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a rotary driving apparatus is added to enable the flange to rotate around the fixing shaft, then the head can swing back and forth and perform raising and bowing motions, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The connection assembly incorporates a rotary driving apparatus that enables dynamic rotation of the flange around the fixing shaft. This dynamic mechanism allows the robot head to perform multiple motions including swinging back and forth and raising and bowing, significantly enhancing adaptability and versatility. The dynamic design is balanced against increased complexity through efficient mechanical layout and integration of the rotary driving apparatus within the head housing.

AI summary
A robot head rotating structure includes a housing, a fixing frame, a connection assembly, and a rotary driving apparatus. The housing defines an internal space. The fixing frame is disposed in the internal space. The connection assembly is disposed between the housing and the fixing frame. The rotary driving apparatus is disposed in the internal space. In comparison with the prior art, the robot head rotating structure has the connection assembly disposed between the housing and the fixing frame as well as the rotary driving apparatus, which are capable of enabling the housing to rotate with respect to the fixing frame. As a result, the head of the robot is capable of swinging back and forth as the head of a human stably, and the raising and bowing of the head of the robot can be realized, which improves the automation of the robot.
