  • Patent number: 11413771
    Abstract: A cable harness management module includes a base plate and a rotatable element which matches with and can rotate relative to the base plate. The base plate and the rotatable element form a space for receiving the cable harness including a first end and a second end. The cable harness management module has a first fastening member for fastening the first end onto the base plate, and a second fastening member for fastening member for fastening the second end onto the rotatable element. The cable harness can reel on or off the rotatable element when the rotatable element rotates with the robot joint. The cable harness management module may also include a mounting member for removably mounting the base plate to the robot joint. The cable harness management module protects the cable harness inside the compact space from abrasion and lengthen the lifetime of the cable harness.

  • Patent number: 10966019
    Abstract: An audio signal processing device, including: a digital signal processing module, an input module, an output module, and a control module. The digital signal processing module is in connection with the input module and the output module, and the control module is in connection with the output module. The output module includes at least two output channels, with each output channel including a power amplifier and a speaker in series connection. The digital signal processing module is configured to receive an audio signal output by the input module and to process the audio signal with at least two different audio processing algorithms, and output the at least two audio processing signals. Each audio processing signal corresponds to one output channel. The control module is configured to control the operation state of the power amplifier of each output channel and the magnification thereof in operation.
