  • Patent number: 10637331
    Abstract: A servo (1) includes a power input device (14), a gear assembly (15) drive-connected to the power input device (14), a power output frame (13) that is driven to rotate by the gear assembly (15), an output shaft (131) arranged at the power output frame (13), a magnetic encoding assembly (121) that is arranged at a rotation center axis of the power output frame (13) and used to detect a rotation angle of the output shaft (131) relative to the rotation center axis, and a circuit board (12) connected to the magnetic encoding assembly (121) and the power input device (14). The magnetic encoding assembly (121) does not tend to be affected by environment, to accurately detect the rotation angle of the output shaft (131) relative to the rotation center axis. Meanwhile, the magnetic encoding assembly (121) is simple to structure and light in weight, which facilitates it to be fixed to the servo (1).

  • Patent number: 10518184
    Abstract: An assembly for a robot includes a shoulder, an arm rotatably connected to the shoulder, an armor decorative member connected to the arm and located adjacent to the shoulder, and a connection assembly located between and rotatably connected to the arm and the armor decorative member. Relative rotation between the arm and the connection assembly and between the armor decorative member and the connection assembly enables the arm to continue to rotate after an upper end of the armor decorative member comes into contact with the shoulder.

  • Patent number: 10029187
    Abstract: A toy assembling apparatus is disclosed. The toy assembling apparatus includes at least one connector, and each connector having at least one of a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion includes a connection plate and a connection pillar disposed on the connection plate. The second connecting portion includes a left side board, a right side board, a back side board, a bottom board, and a top board, which jointly form a containing slot for inserting the first connecting portion. The containing slot includes a plate slot for containing the connection plate and a pillar slot for containing the connection pillar. Limit grooves or limit protrudes are formed on the connection pillar. The pillar slot has protrudes or grooves formed thereon correspondingly. The limit grooves match the limit protrudes, such that the first connecting portion matches the second connecting portion of another connector tightly.

  • Patent number: 9931577
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a servo of an entertainment robot that includes a servo main body and a servo plate. The servo main body includes a casing and an output shaft. The casing is a hexahedron. The servo plate is fixed to the output shaft of the servo main body. The servo plate includes a square drive plate. At least one surface of the servo main body includes a T slot having an opening at one end. The size of the T slot matches the size of the drive plate of the servo plate. Tools are not needed for assembling/disassembling during the assembling of entertainment robots, thereby reducing the complexity during assembling, lowering the assembly difficulty, simplifying the assembling process, increasing the joy of DIY, and providing more space for the users to bring into play their imaginations.

  • Patent number: 9815192
    Abstract: A servo and a robot with the servo are provided. The servo comprises a power input apparatus with a first output shaft, a deceleration apparatus, and a power output mechanism. The deceleration apparatus comprises a first-stage deceleration mechanism and a second-stage deceleration mechanism. The power output mechanism comprises a second output shaft and an output bearing fixedly installed on the second output shaft, wherein the second output shaft is an external spline output shaft. Through the external spline output shaft and the output bearing disposed on the power output mechanism, the servo could directly connect with an exterior component through the external spline output shaft, and the strength is improved. As a result, the friction between the servo and the exterior component is reduced, and the lifetime is therefore increased.
