Abstract

A hip joint structure of a robot includes a pair of thigh base-end members and a pillar-shaped pelvis member disposed so as to be sandwiched between the pair of thigh base-end members. A flange part is formed in each of left and right end parts in a front surface of the pelvis member, and each of left and right end parts in a rear surface of the pelvis member by a recess extending in the vertical direction. The flange part is fastened to the thigh base-end member by a fastening member.

Claims (32)

1. A hip joint structure of a robot, comprising:

a first thigh base-end member;

a second thigh base-end member; and

a pillar-shaped pelvis member sandwiched between the first thigh base-end member and the second thigh base-end member, wherein

flange parts are formed, one in each of left and right end parts in a front surface of the pelvis member and left and right end parts in a rear surface of the pelvis member, by respective recesses extending vertically, and

each of the flange parts is fastened to one of the first thigh base-end member or the second thigh base-end member by a respective fastening member inserted into a respective one of left-and-right direction through-holes in the flange parts.

2. The hip joint structure of claim 1 , wherein

the first thigh base-end member comprises a first through-hole extending vertically,

a first bearing member having a first hollow part is in the first through-hole, and

a connector configured to connect a first cable disposed in a leg to a second cable disposed in a body is in the first hollow part of the first bearing member.

3. The hip joint structure of claim 2 , wherein

the pelvis member comprises a second through-hole extending vertically, and a third through-hole communicating one of the recesses with the second through-hole, and

the second cable extends out of the pelvis member from the second through-hole via the third through-hole.

4. A hip joint structure of a robot, comprising:

a first thigh base-end member;

a second thigh base-end member; and

a pillar-shaped pelvis member sandwiched between the first thigh base-end member and the second thigh base-end member, wherein

flange parts are formed, one in each of left and right end parts in a front surface of the pelvis member and left and right end parts in a rear surface of the pelvis member, by respective recesses extending vertically,

each of the flange parts is fastened to one of the first thigh base-end member or the second thigh base-end member by a respective fastening member,

the first thigh base-end member comprises a first through-hole extending vertically,

a first bearing member having a first hollow part is in the first through-hole,

a first connector configured to connect a first cable disposed in a first leg to a second cable disposed in a body is in the first hollow part of the first bearing member,

the second thigh base-end member comprises a second through-hole extending vertically,

a second bearing member having a second hollow part is in the second through-hole,

a second connector configured to connect a third cable disposed in a second leg to a fourth cable disposed in the body is in the second hollow part of the second bearing member.

5. The hip joint structure of claim 4 , wherein

the pelvis member comprises

a third through-hole extending vertically,

a fourth through-hole communicating one of the recesses with the third through-hole, and

a fifth through-hole communicating another of the recesses with the third through-hole;

the second cable extends out of the pelvis member from the third through-hole via the fourth through-hole; and

the fourth cable extends out of the pelvis member from the third through-hole via the fifth through-hole.
