An adaptive sandy bionic mechanical foot

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adaption sand ground biomimetic mechanical foot, and belongs to a foot type robot mainly applied to walking on sand ground. The self-adaption sand ground biomimetic mechanical foot consists of a support frame, a linear motor, a connecting element, a first foot toe, a second foot toe, an elastic fabric, a buffer mechanism and the like, wherein the connecting element consists of a first connecting element, a second connecting element, a pin shaft and a screw stud; the buffer mechanism consists of a support frame, a foot sole, a spring and a connecting post, and is used for simulating an ostrich tarsometatarsus joint to achieve the buffer and shock absorption effects. The self-adaption sand ground biomimetic mechanical foot can achieve the beneficial effects that when the robot walks on the sand ground, the two toes are separated when the foot touches the ground; the elastic fabric spreads, so that the ground contact area is increased; the stability of the robot is improved; when the foot is lifted up, the two toes are closed and are overlapped for a certain area; the elastic fabric contracts; the stress area in the moving process is reduced. Meanwhile, the bottom of the first foot toe and the bottom of the second foot toe are provided with groove structures matched with the elastic fabric; the sand fixing and current limiting functions can be realized; the gait stability and the traction performance of the foot type robot can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of footed robots, in particular to a robot foot for walking on sand. Background technique [0002] Robot research has always been a popular direction in the field of machinery. At present, the movement methods of robots are mainly wheeled, tracked and footed. Wheeled robots are efficient and easy to operate, but have poor sand passage. Although the crawler-type robot can drive on sandy and muddy ground, the operation is stable, the crawler shoe is thick, the energy consumption is large, and the speed is slow. Compared with the first two kinds of robots, the footed robot has attracted much attention because of its flexible gait and strong obstacle surmounting ability, which can adapt to a variety of different grounds, especially in the soft ground such as sand and other soft ground. [0003] Most of the traditional foot robots only focus on walking on hard ground, the foot structure is simple, and the adaptability is...
