A bionic crawling mechanism
By using a drive module to drive the inner crank and connecting rod transmission in the bionic crawling device, the inner and outer cranks are driven to make elliptical cone motion, which solves the problems of large support fluctuation and insufficient stability, and achieves a more stable crawling effect and miniaturization of the device.

AI Technical Summary
Existing biomimetic crawling devices suffer from significant vertical fluctuations in their support structure during crawling, resulting in insufficient stability and making miniaturization difficult.
The drive module drives the inner crank and connecting rod transmission, which in turn drives the inner and outer cranks to make elliptical conical motion. The phase difference between the two sets of spatial crank structures achieves stable support of the bracket and reduces the vertical fluctuation.
It further reduces the amplitude of vertical fluctuations during crawling, improves crawling stability, and has a compact structure that is easy to miniaturize.
