Abstract

The invention discloses a bionic jumping leg adopting pneumatic series elastic joints, which consists of a hip joint module, a knee joint module and a pneumatic series elastic ankle joint module whichare sequentially connected from top to bottom, and three active joints are driven by four pneumatic artificial muscles; wherein the hip joint module adopts two pneumatic artificial muscles to form antagonistic driving, and the length of a driving force arm and the rotation range of a joint are adjusted through a hip joint muscle force arm adjusting mechanism; the knee joint module is composed ofa pneumatic artificial muscle and a return spring; the ankle joint module is connected with a high-rigidity elastic element in series through a pneumatic artificial muscle to form a pneumatic series elastic joint. According to the bionic jumping leg, the light hollow rod pieces are adopted as a framework of the bionic jumping leg, the bionic jumping leg has the advantages of compact structure, impact resistance, elastic energy storage, light weight, miniaturization and the like, and the jumping performance of the bionic jumping leg can be effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of bionic robots, in particular to a bionic jumping leg adopting pneumatic series elastic joints. Background technique [0002] The research on bionic robots is developing from low speed to high speed. Among them, the bionic jumping robot has attracted the attention of many scholars due to its superior ability to adapt to complex terrain. The bionic jumping robot is gradually developing in the direction of light weight and miniaturization to obtain better jumping performance. . [0003] At present, the bionic legged robots developed at home and abroad mostly use motors, hydraulic cylinders, air cylinders, pneumatic artificial muscles and other driving methods. Motor, hydraulic and other driving methods are difficult to apply to lightweight and miniaturized bionic jumping robots due to their disadvantages in size and weight. Pneumatic artificial muscles are gradually being used in bionic jumping robots due to their fl...
