[0031] Specific examples include Figure 3 As shown, the first support rod 3011 and the third support rod 3021, the second support rod 3012 and the fourth support rod 3022 are respectively hinged through the knee joint, the third support rod 3021 and the fourth support rod 3022 are also hinged through the shank connecting joint, and the end of the fourth support rod 3022 and the sole plate 303 are hinged through the ankle joint; wherein the knee joint, the shank connecting joint and the ankle joint can be parent-child rivets. Of course, other connecting members 103 can also be used for hinge connection, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited here.
[0032] As is known to all, frogs jump forward by the power of their hind legs. Therefore, the hind legs of frogs are the main moving limbs, which are the most important parts for frogs to paddle and jump. Compared with the front legs of frogs, the hind legs of frogs are more sensitive and rapid, and the hind legs are more powerful. Therefore, in the bionic frog jumping robot, the structural operation of the hind leg jumping mechanism 3 directly affects the jumping performance of the bionic frog jumping robot. The hind leg jumping mechanism 3 in the present embodiment, through the first support rod 3011 and the second support rod 3012 of the thigh mechanism 301, at least two third support rods 3021 and at least two fourth support rods 3022 of the shank mechanism 302, and at least two energy storage tension springs 305 connected between the two knee joints, forms the energy storage structure of the hind leg jumping mechanism 3, which can provide enough power for the jumping of the hind legs. In this embodiment, the calf mechanism 302 uses at least two third support rods 3021 and at least two fourth support rods 3022, and the two third support rods 3021 and the two fourth support rods 3022 are respectively located on both sides of the end of the first support rod 3011 and the end of the second support rod 3012. When the hind leg jumping mechanism 3 lands, due to the support of at least two third support rods 3021 and at least two fourth support rods 3022 close to the ground, it is more conducive to the stability of the hind leg jumping mechanism 3 when landing. Moreover, the position distribution of the energy storage tension spring 305 and at least two third support rods 3021 and at least two fourth support rods 3022 is also to balance the support force of the sole plate 303 on the trunk body 1 to ensure stability when landing. In the present invention, the use of two energy storage tension springs 305 can also improve the energy storage performance, so that the jumping performance of the bionic frog jumping robot in the embodiment of the present invention is stronger and can jump farther.
[0033] Among them, the rope 6 driven by the power mechanism 4 to be retracted and released is connected to the calf connecting joint at the hinge of the third support rod 3021 and the fourth support rod 3022 in the calf mechanism 302 after being transmitted by the transmission mechanism 7; when the power mechanism 4 drives to retract the rope 6, the rope 6 pulls the calf connecting joint to drive the third support rod 3021 and the fourth support rod 3022 to retract upward, changing the angle between the third support rod 3021 and the first support rod 3011, and then changing the distance between the two knee joints on the hind leg jumping mechanism 3, pulling the two sets of energy storage springs 305 to extend outward, and this is the charging stage of the hind leg jumping mechanism 3.
[0034] When the power mechanism 4 suddenly stops the tension of the rope 6 on the calf connecting joint, since the distance between the two knee joints on the hind leg jumping mechanism 3 will also reach the limit distance, the two sets of energy storage tension springs 305 will also reach the elongation limit. The sudden disappearance of the tension will cause the two sets of tension springs to shrink instantly, and the distance between the knee joints will also shrink instantly. This is the energy release stage of the hind leg jumping mechanism 3.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, since the energy storage spring 305 will increase with the increase of deformation, the rotation speed of the attitude servo 304 can be controlled by controlling the main board 5 (such as a single-chip microcomputer) to increase the output torque and thus increase the tension of the rope 6. The macroscopic manifestation is that during the elongation of the energy storage spring 305, the speed change speed of the two ends of the energy storage spring 305 is initially the largest and gradually decreases. Since the length of the energy storage spring 305 gradually increases and the first support rod 3011, the second support rod 3012, the third support rod 3021 and the fourth support rod 3022 are hinged to each other, the plane distance between the calf connecting joint and the rotation axis of the attitude servo 304 will decrease with the elongation of the spring. The calf connecting joint and the sole plate 303 are on the same support rod, so the change properties are the same. When in the energy release stage, the first support rod 3011 is considered to be stationary and a motion reference system is established, with the rotation axis of the attitude servo 304 as the origin, the servo arm 3041 as the positive direction of the X-axis, and one side of the second support rod 3012 as the positive direction of the Y-axis passing through the rotation axis and perpendicular to the X-axis. In this coordinate system, when the rope 6 stops providing tension, the energy storage tension spring 305 contracts instantly, the plane distance between the calf connection joint and the rotation axis of the attitude servo 304 increases instantly, and a force is generated along the direction of the line connecting the two points. At this time, the main body is regarded as a static reference system and a plane coordinate system is established with the attitude servo 304 as the origin, the direction of the front leg as the positive direction of the X-axis, the side of the hind leg as the positive direction of the Y-axis, and perpendicular to the X-axis. The motion reference is regarded as the rotation around the axis of the static reference system. By changing the angle of rotation around the axis, the direction of the force in the direction of the line connecting the calf connection joint and the rotation axis of the attitude servo 304 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the take-off posture. When in the air, the attitude servo 304 can control the angle between the hind leg and the main body to indirectly control the overall center of gravity, thereby adjusting the aerial posture, so that the frog jumping robot is stable when it lands later.
[0036] It can be seen that in the two stages of charging and discharging, the distance between the starting end of the thigh mechanism 301 and the end of the calf mechanism 302 is controlled by the single chip microcomputer on the control main board 5, and the distance is reflected in the initial approach from rapid to slow until the instantaneous bounce; under the cooperation of the first support rod 3011 and the second support rod 3012, the ankle joint and the sole plate 303 are connected to complete the transformation of the distance between the sole plate 303 and the starting end of the thigh mechanism 301, and the attitude servo 304 adjusts the servo arm 3041 to control the angle between the hind leg and the main body to indirectly control the overall center of gravity and thus adjust the aerial posture, so that the frog jumping robot can stably adjust the center of gravity during the bouncing process and then stably complete the bouncing action and finally land stably.
[0037] Furthermore, a torsion spring is arranged on the ankle joint. When the bionic frog jumping robot finishes jumping and lands, the torsion spring on the ankle joint can help the fast frog jumping robot to balance and stabilize the landing action.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the power mechanism 4 includes a power steering gear 401, a first bevel gear 402 and a second bevel gear 403, the output end of the power steering gear 401 is connected to the first bevel gear 402, an optical axis 404 is provided on the trunk body 1, the second bevel gear 403 is fixed on the optical axis 404, and the first bevel gear 402 and the second bevel gear 403 are meshed; the transmission mechanism 7 is respectively provided at both ends of the optical axis 404, and when the power steering gear 401 drives the first bevel gear 402 to rotate, the optical axis 404 drives the transmission mechanism 7 to rotate to retract the rope 6. In this embodiment, when the power steering gear 401 drives the first bevel gear 402 to rotate, the optical axis 404 rotates under the meshing action of the first bevel gear 402 and the second bevel gear 403, so that the rope 6 placed at both ends of the optical axis 404 can be retracted.
[0039] Specifically, the foreleg mechanism 2 includes a forelimb seat 201, a forelimb 202 and a torsion spring. The forelimb 202 is installed on both sides of the front end of the trunk body 1 through the forelimb seat 201, and the forelimb 202 is hingedly connected to the forelimb seat 201; a torsion spring is also provided at the hinge of the forelimb 202 and the forelimb seat 201. Because the forelegs of the frog play a supporting, limb balance, landing and positioning role; relative to the hind legs of the frog, the forelegs are shorter and smaller. The forelegs indirectly affect the frog's aerial posture by affecting the frog's center of gravity, thereby affecting the frog's overall long jump performance; therefore, in this embodiment, the forelimb seat 201 provides a medium for the forelimb 202 to be connected to the whole body, and then is directly connected to the lower main board 102 by bolts, so that the center of gravity of the bionic frog robot is biased downward, ensuring the stability of the jumping process. Among them, the hinge of the forelimb 202 and the forelimb seat 201 is also provided with a torsion spring, which provides a buffering effect during the operation of the foreleg mechanism 2, making the center of gravity change process more smooth and smooth.
[0040] The trunk body 1 includes an upper main board 101 and a lower main board 102, which are connected by a connector 103 to form an upper installation space 104 and a lower installation space 105, and the attitude servo 304 is respectively installed on both sides of the rear end of the lower installation space 105, and the forelimb seat 201 is respectively located on both sides of the front end of the lower installation space 105; the power mechanism 4 is located at the front end of the trunk body 1 and runs through the upper installation space 104 and the lower installation space 105. In this embodiment, by dividing the trunk body 1 into an upper main board 101 and a lower main board 102, and then installing the attitude servo 304 and the forelimb seat 201 in the lower installation space 105, so that the front leg mechanism 2 and the hind leg jumping mechanism 4 are respectively located on both sides of the lower installation space 105, it is convenient to complete the jumping action, and it is also beneficial to keep the center of gravity lower during the jumping process to avoid tipping over during the jumping process.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment, bearing side walls 106 are respectively provided on both sides of the front end of the upper main board 101, and bearing blocks 107 are respectively provided on the bearing side walls 106. Deep groove ball bearings 108 are provided in the bearing blocks 107. The two ends of the optical axis 404 are respectively connected to the inner rings of the bearings on the bearing side walls 106 on both sides, providing support for the optical axis 404 while ensuring that the axial position remains unchanged, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the optical axis 404, and thereby ensuring the smooth retraction and release of the rope 6, so that the bouncing process of the bionic frog robot is more natural and does not bring a mechanical sense of movement; baffles 109 are respectively provided on the rear end and both sides of the lower main board 102 to form the upper installation space 104 and the lower installation space 105 into a complete trunk as a whole, and also to protect and limit the various mechanisms installed in the trunk body 1.
[0042] In addition, the front end of the upper main board 101 is provided with a limit hole 1011 matching the size of the power steering engine 401, and the front end of the lower main board 102 is provided with a U-shaped through slot 1021. The power steering engine 401 is installed on the upper main board 101 and sequentially penetrates the limit hole 1011 and the U-shaped through slot 1021. In this embodiment, the power steering engine 401 with a heavier volume and weight is installed at one end away from the hind leg jumping mechanism 4, and penetrates the upper main board 101 and the lower main board 102 to balance the center of gravity of the hind leg jumping mechanism 4, so that the overall center of gravity of the bionic frog jumping robot is not too far back (i.e., toward the hind leg jumping mechanism 4). Only when the overall center of gravity of the bionic frog jumping robot is guaranteed, the jumping performance of the bionic frog jumping robot can be guaranteed.
[0043] Furthermore, the frog jumping robot also includes a power supply assembly for power supply, and the power supply assembly includes a first power supply 801, a second power supply 802 and a third power supply 803, the first power supply 801 is located at the rear end of the upper installation space 104, and the second power supply 802 and the third power supply 803 are located at both sides of the front end of the upper installation space 104; the control mainboard 5 is installed above the first power supply 801. In the present application, by setting the first power supply 801, the second power supply 802 and the third power supply 803 three power supplies, and respectively distributed at the rear end of the upper installation space 104 and both sides of the front end of the upper installation space 104, and distributed in a C shape around the power steering engine 401, it is also based on the consideration of the center of gravity of the bionic frog jumping robot to ensure the overall jumping performance of the bionic frog jumping robot.

The first pulley 701 is respectively fixed to the two ends of the optical axis 404, and the second pulley 702 is arranged on both sides of the rear end of the trunk body 1. In this embodiment, the outer side of the optical axis 404 is connected to the first pulley 701, and the first pulley 701 has a fixed spool on the outer side and a coil wound on the inner side. The power is converted from the rotation of the optical axis 404 to the tension of the rope 6, thereby realizing the retraction and release of the rope 6. The second pulley 702 above the hind leg jumping mechanism 4 is a steering pulley, which is used to change the direction of the tension on the mounting plate side so that the angle between the tension direction and the fifth joint position is reasonable, so that the jumping performance is better.
[0045] In a preferred embodiment, a bionic frog head 9 is provided at the front end of the upper installation space 104 , and cameras are provided at the eyes of the bionic frog head 9 for recording or photographing the images of the movement process of the bionic frog jumping robot.
