Abstract

A robot includes a body having a torso, a pair of arms and servos configured to drive the arms. A first end of each of the arms is movably connected to the torso via a corresponding one of the servos. An opposite, second end of each of the arms is connected with a hand. A first connection member is arranged on the body. A fake gun includes a second connection member that is magnetically attractable to the first connection member, and is connected to the body when the second connection member is attracted to the first connection member. One of the arms is rotatable and the hand of the one of the arms and the fake gun are configured in such a way that fake gun is detachably connected to the hand of the one of the arms when the one of the arms is rotated to a predetermined position.

Claims

1. A robot, comprising:

a body comprising a torso, a pair of arms and servos configured to drive the arms, a first end of each of the arms being movably connected to the torso via a corresponding one of the servos, an opposite, second end of each of the arms being connected with a hand, a first connection member being arranged on the body; and

a fake gun comprising a second connection member that is magnetically attractable to the first connection member, the fake gun being detachably connected to the body when the second connection member is attracted to the first connection member;

wherein one of the arms is rotatable with respect to the torso and the hand of the one of the arms and the fake gun are configured such that the fake gun connected to the body is detachably connected to the hand of the one of the arms when the one of the arms is rotated to a predetermined position, and one of the servos corresponding to the one of the arms is configured to provide power that enables the hand of the one of the arms to overcome an attraction force between the first connection member and the second connection member, which allows the fake gun to become disengaged from the first connection member and move together with the hand of the one of the arms;

wherein the body further comprises a holder, and the first connection member is fixed to the holder;

wherein the hand of the one of the arms comprises a third connection member, the fake gun comprises a fourth connection member that is magnetically attractable to the third connection member, and the third connection member is attracted to the fourth connection member when the hand of the one of the arms is rotated to the predetermined position;

wherein the fake gun comprises a barrel and a grip, the second connection member is arranged at a side surface of the barrel, and the fourth connection member is arranged at a side surface of the grip which is opposite the side surface of the barrel; and

wherein the barrel comprises a main body, a first decoration plate and a second decoration plate, the first decoration plate and the second decoration plate are arranged at opposite sides of the main body, and the second connection member is arranged at the first decoration plate;

the grip comprises a main part, a first decoration panel and a second decoration panel, the first decoration panel and the second decoration panel are arranged at opposite sides of the main part, and the fourth connection member is arranged at the second decoration panel;

the main part of the grip is connected to or integrally formed with one end of the main body of the barrel.

2. The robot of claim 1, wherein the attraction force between the first connection member and the second connection member is greater than an attraction force between the third connection member and the fourth connection member, when the fake gun connected to the hand of the one of the arms is rotated to the predetermined position, the fake gun is connected to the holder by the attraction force between the second connection member and the first connection member, and the fake gun is disengaged from the hand of the one of the arms when the attraction force between the third connection member and the fourth connection member is overcome by the power provided by the one of the servos corresponding to the one of the arms.

3. The robot of claim 1, wherein one of the first connection member and the second connection member is a first magnet, the other one of the first connection member and the second connection member is a second magnet or made of ferromagnetic material, one of the third connection member and the fourth connection member is a third magnet, the other one of the third connection member and the fourth connection member is a fourth magnet or made of ferromagnetic material.

4. The robot of claim 1, wherein the hand of the one of the arms comprises a plurality of fingers that corporately define a space enabling the grip to receive therein when the hand of the one of the arms is rotated to the predetermined position, the third connection member is arranged at one of the fingers and attracted to the fourth connection member when the grip is received in the space.

5. The robot of claim 1, wherein the first decoration plate of the barrel defines a first mounting hole and the second connection member is fit into the first mounting hole, the second decoration panel of the grip defines a second mounting hole, and the fourth connection member is fit into the second mounting hole.

6. The robot of claim 4, wherein the first decoration plate comprises a first connecting portion, the second decoration plate comprises a second connecting portion, the first decoration plate is connected to a side of the main body via the first connecting portion, and the second decoration plate is connected to an opposite side of the main body via the second connecting portion;

the first decoration panel comprises a third connecting portion, the second decoration panel comprises a fourth connecting portion, the first decoration panel is connected to a side of the main part via the third connecting portion, and the second decoration panel is connected to an opposite side of the main part via the fourth connecting portion.

7. The robot of claim 5, wherein the first decoration plate comprises a plurality of first positioning posts at an inner side thereof, the side of the main body corresponding to the first decoration plate defines a plurality of first positioning holes that are respectively arranged corresponding to the first positioning posts, and the first positioning posts are respectively fit into the first positioning holes;

the second decoration plate comprises a plurality of second positioning posts at an inner side thereof, the side of the main body corresponding to the second decoration plate defines a plurality of second positioning holes that are respectively arranged corresponding to the second positioning posts, and the second positioning posts are respectively fit into the second positioning holes.

8. A robot comprising:

a body comprising a torso and an arm rotatably connected to the torso, the arm comprising a hand;

a fake gun magnetically and detachably connected to the body, wherein the arm and the fake gun are configured in such a way that the fake gun connected to the body is magnetically and detachably connected to the hand when the arm is rotated to a predetermined position, and the hand drives the fake gun to become disengaged from the body and move together with the hand;

wherein the fake gun comprises a barrel, a grip and two connection members that are respectively attractable to the body and the hand, the barrel comprises a main body, a first decoration plate and a second decoration plate, the first decoration plate and the second decoration plate are arranged at opposite sides of the main body, and one of the connection members is arranged at the first decoration plate;
