Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of bionic machinery, and in particular to a two-stage flapping-wing bionic bird. Background Art

[0002] From the emergence of Archaeopteryx to the present, in the long evolutionary process of hundreds of millions of years, birds have formed many effective navigation, recognition, calculation, energy conversion and other systems, and their sensitivity, efficiency, accuracy and drought resistance are amazing. People study these structural and functional principles and simulate them to improve existing or create new machinery, instruments and processes. This is an important part of bionics research.

[0003] Birds have superb flying skills. Of course, modern aircraft far surpass birds in many aspects, but they pale in comparison in terms of energy conservation and agility. For example, a bird can fly over the ocean for more than 4,000 kilometers continuously and lose 0.06 kg in weight. The small hummingbird can not only take off and land vertically, but also stand upright while sucking nectar, and can move freely in the air. It is extremely flexible. The research and utilization of these special functions will further improve the performance of aircraft.

[0004] For example, wild ducks can fly at an altitude of 9,500 meters, while humans have difficulty breathing at 4,500 meters. Studying why birds can maintain smooth cerebral blood vessels in thin air can be of great significance to humans living normally and prolonging their lives in an environment with insufficient oxygen supply.

[0005] Pigeons have made great contributions to bionics. There is a small and sensitive special structure on its legs that can sense earthquakes. People have imitated a new seismograph based on its principle, making earthquake prediction more accurate. Its eyes have special recognition abilities, which is due to the six types of ganglion cells with specific functions on its retina: leaf brightness detector, ordinary edge detector, convex edge detector, direction detector, vertical edge detector, and horizontal detector. People have imitated the cell structure on its retina to make an electronic model of pigeon eyes. Although the structure is not as complex and perfect as its, it has broad prospects for installation on warning radars and application in electronic computers to process relevant data.

[0006] Birds have a much longer history than humans, but they have not yet become extinct and have the ability to fly that people have always dreamed of. Therefore, bionic bird machines have a long-term significance. We can gain a lot of information on the structure and movement patterns of birds, which will ultimately benefit humans.
