[0034] As mentioned in the background technology, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, this application proposes a bionic leg claw device based on a quad-rotor drone that can quickly perch and grasp, such as Figure 1 Shown, including:

Therefore, this embodiment takes one of the bionic mechanical leg claw bodies as an example for description;

[0037] A first sliding mechanism 3, comprising a slide rail 302 provided on the second mounting surface 102, a track slider 301 provided on a side of the slide rail 302 away from the second mounting surface 102 and matching the slide rail 302, and a first driving assembly 7 driving the track slider 301 to move along the slide rail 302;

[0038] A leg claw mechanism 5, one end of which is rotatably connected to the second mounting surface 102, and an end away from the second mounting surface 102 is provided with a grasping and releasing assembly 6;

[0039] A first connecting component, one end of which is connected to the end of the grab and place component 6 close to the leg claw mechanism 5, and the other end is connected to the track slider 301;

[0040] Specifically, when the device needs to perch and grasp under complex conditions, an active grasping function is required. The first driving component 7 drives the track slider 301 to move along the slide rail 302 to the third position 321. The track slider 301 has a first surface and a second surface along the second direction. The first connecting component includes a first rope 4. One end of the first rope 4 is arranged on the first surface of the track slider 301. During the movement of the track slider 301 to the third position 321, the first rope 4 is tightened. The first rope 4 has a first branch node 401; the first connecting component also includes the first rope 4 at the first branch node. The four second ropes 402 branching out from the support node 401 are respectively connected to the end of the grasping and releasing component 6 close to the leg claw mechanism 5; when the first rope 4 is tightened, under the tension of the first rope 4, the four second ropes 402 connected to the grasping and releasing component 6 are tightened, thereby triggering the grasping and releasing component 6 to realize active grasping of the device; in addition, when the device is perched, after the grasping and releasing component 6 catches the branch, it slowly reduces the rotation speed of the quadcopter 2. Under the action of the gravity of the quadcopter 2 itself, the grasping and releasing component 6 will grip tighter and tighter, thereby realizing active grasping and perching of the device.

[0041] Furthermore, the first driving assembly 7 includes a lead screw 701 provided on the second mounting surface 102, a lead screw slider 702 provided on the side of the lead screw 701 away from the second mounting surface 102 and matching the lead screw 701, and a first driving motor 703 that drives the lead screw slider 702 to move along the lead screw 701; a first pulling assembly 708 is provided on the lead screw slider 702, and one end of the first pulling assembly 708 away from the lead screw slider 702 is connected to the track slider 301; further, the first driving assembly 7 also includes a first gear 704 provided at one end of the lead screw 701 along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the first direction. Second direction; the outer ring of the first gear 704 has a circle of first meshing teeth, and the end of the screw slider 702 close to the first gear 704 is provided with second meshing teeth matching the first meshing teeth; further, a first limiting component 705 is provided on the slide rail 302, and the first limiting component 705 has two states, a first state and a second state. When it is in the first state, the track slider 301 can move along the slide rail 302, and when it is in the second state, it is used to limit the displacement of the track slider 301; a second connecting component is wrapped around the first gear 704, and the end of the second connecting component away from the first gear 704 is connected to the first limiting component 705.

[0042] Specifically, when the device is flying in the air, Figure 6 As shown, the screw slider 702 is at the first position 712 on the screw 701, and the screw slider 702 has a third surface and a fourth surface on both sides along the second direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a third rope 706 and a fourth rope 707 are connected to the third surface of the screw slider 702. At this time, the third rope 706 and the fourth rope 707 are both in a relaxed state. The relaxation of the third rope 706 is to prepare for the subsequent grasping of the grasping and releasing assembly 6, and the relaxed state of the fourth rope 707 is to prepare for the subsequent movement of the track slider 301 along the slide rail 302. The first tension component 708 is a tension spring, one end of which is connected to the fourth surface of the screw slider 702, and the other end is connected to the fourth rope 707 on the second surface of the track slider 301.

[0043] Optionally, the first drive motor 703 is a DC motor, the main shaft of the first drive motor 703 is connected to the lead screw 701, the first limit assembly 705 is a one-way locking buckle, and the second connection assembly includes a fifth rope 709; when the device is flying in the air, the track slider 301 is located at the second position 322 on the slide rail 302, the first rope 4 is in a relaxed state, the first limit assembly 705 is in the second state, and the track slider 301 is stuck by the one-way locking buckle and cannot move; when the device needs to perch and grab, the first drive motor 703 rotates forward to drive the lead screw slider 702 The lead screw 701 moves from the first position 712 to engage with the first gear 704, the lead screw slider 702 continues to move, the first gear 704 rotates and rolls the fifth rope 709 onto the first gear 704. At this time, the first limiting component 705 connected to the end of the fifth rope 709 away from the first gear 704 is lifted and switched to the first state; since the first tension component 708 is in a stretched state at this time, after the first limiting component 705 switches to the first state, the track slider 301 moves quickly to the third position 321 under the tension of the first tension component 708.

[0044] In addition, the first limiting component 705 is installed on the side of the slide rail 302 and can rotate around the first rotating axis. A torsion spring is installed at the rotation center of the first limiting component 705. When the torsion spring is in the initial state, the first limiting component 705 clamps the track slider 301 so that it cannot be pulled to the third position 321 by the tension of the first tension component 708.

[0045] Furthermore, the leg claw mechanism 5 includes:

[0046] A thigh mechanism 501, one end of which is rotatably connected to the second mounting surface 102;

[0047] A calf mechanism 502 is rotatably connected to an end of the thigh mechanism 501 away from the second mounting surface 102. A third connecting assembly 8 is provided at the end of the calf mechanism 502 away from the thigh mechanism 501. The third connecting assembly 8 is used to connect to the grab and release assembly 6. Optionally, the third connecting assembly 8 includes two second connecting plates provided on both sides of the end of the calf mechanism 502 away from the thigh mechanism 501 along the second direction.

[0048] A fourth connecting component 9, the fourth connecting component 9 is used to connect the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502;

[0049] Furthermore, the fourth connecting component 9 includes two first connecting plates 901 distributed and arranged along the second direction, a second limiting component 902 is provided between the two first connecting plates 901, and the second limiting component 902 has two states, a third state and a fourth state. When in the third state, the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502 are rotatable, and when in the fourth state, the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502 are locked; optionally, the first connecting plate 901 is a triangular connecting plate, the second limiting component 902 is a triangular connecting plate buckle, and the second limiting component 902 is further provided with a compression spring 903;

[0050] Specifically, the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502 are both composed of two connecting rods. The thigh mechanism connecting rod and the upper part of the first connecting plate 901 form a parallelogram mechanism, and the calf mechanism connecting rod and the lower part of the first connecting plate 901 form a parallelogram mechanism. The two parallelogram mechanisms are conducive to better bending of the mechanical leg; the upper connecting rod of the calf mechanism connecting rod has a third meshing tooth, and the upper connecting rod of the calf mechanism connecting rod contacts the upper connecting rod of the thigh mechanism connecting rod to limit the counterclockwise rotation of the calf mechanism 502 relative to the thigh mechanism 501; Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second limiting component 902 is located at the fourth connecting component 9 of the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502, and the thigh mechanism 501 is provided with a triangular connecting plate snap spring 511; Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, one end of the triangular connecting plate snap spring 511 is connected to the sixth rope 512 and the seventh rope 513, one end of the sixth rope 512 is connected to the second limiting component 902, and the other end is connected to the first rope 4, and the seventh rope 513 is connected to the third rope 706 away from the end of the triangular connecting plate snap spring 511; when the first rope 4 is tightened, the second limiting component 902 is unlocked, and the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502 are in a bendable state. When the first rope 4 is not tightened, in the absence of external force to unlock the second limiting component 902, the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502 cannot bend, so that the calf mechanism 502 will not shake when the device is preparing to perch and grasp, thereby affecting the judgment of the grasping position.

[0051] In addition, the second limiting component 902 is also connected to a compression spring 903, and the second limiting component 902 has a fourth meshing tooth at one end close to the calf mechanism 502; when the third meshing tooth and the fourth meshing tooth are not fully engaged, the compression spring 903 is in its original state and is not compressed. The second limiting component 902 is in its original state under the action of the compression spring 903. When the first rope 4 is tightened, the compression spring 903 is stretched and is in a force storage state. When the first rope 4 is not tightened, the compression spring 903 is in a force release state and recovers its deformation, thereby driving the second limiting component 902 back to its initial position to lock the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502.

[0052] Furthermore, the grab and release assembly 6 includes two grippers 601 provided on both sides of the third connecting assembly 8 along the third direction, and the grab and release assembly 6 has two states, a fifth state and a sixth state. When in the fifth state, the two grippers 601 are close to each other away from the ends of the third connecting assembly 8, and when in the sixth state, the two grippers 601 are away from each other away from the ends of the third connecting assembly 8; specifically, the grab and release assembly 6 is a bistable gripper, the third connecting assembly 8 is a gripper connector, and the two grippers 601 can rotate around the rotation center of the gripper connector; further, a second tension assembly is provided between the two grippers 601, and the second tension assembly is used to maintain the grab and release assembly 6 in the sixth state; optionally, the second tension assembly is a gripper spring;

[0053] Specifically, the two ends of the second tension component are respectively connected to the two grippers 601. When the device is flying in the air, the two grippers 601 of the grasping and releasing component 6 are in a fully open state, and this state is maintained by the second tension component; the grasping and releasing component 6 has two stable states. The sixth state is the open state of the two grippers 601. At this time, the second tension component is located above the rotation center of the two grippers 601, and the two grippers are stabilized in the sixth state by the tension of the second tension component. The fifth state is the closed state of the two grippers 601. At this time, the second tension component is located below the rotation center of the two grippers 601, and the grippers are in a closed state by the tension of the second tension component.

[0054] Furthermore, a third tension component 801 is also provided on the third connecting component 8, and the third tension component 801 is connected to the first connecting component; optionally, the third tension component 801 is a main tendon spring, and the main tendon spring is connected to the first rope 4; further, a first driving mechanism 10 is also provided on the second mounting surface 102, and the first driving mechanism 10 is used to drive the leg claw mechanism 5 to rotate; optionally, the first driving mechanism 10 is a servo, and the first driving mechanism 10 is installed on the second mounting surface 102.

[0055] When the device finds the right position and is ready to perch, the angles of the leg claw mechanism 5 and the grasping and releasing assembly 6 can be adjusted by the first driving mechanism 10. After finding the appropriate angle, the two grippers 601 are aimed at the branches for perching. At this time, since the device falls towards the tree trunk at a certain speed, the two grippers 601 have two tips 611 near the ends of the leg claw mechanism 5, and each tip 611 has a first connecting hole 612. Each second rope 402 is connected to the first connecting hole 612 respectively. When the grasping and releasing assembly 6 descends, it is impacted by an external force, causing the two grippers 601 to rotate around the rotation center and at the same time breaking the steady state of the gripper spring, causing the two grippers 601 to turn to a closed state. At this time, the gripper spring is located below the rotation center of the two grippers 601, and the trunk is grasped under the action of the gripper spring. At the same time, since the device falls at a certain speed towards the tree trunk, and falls toward the tree trunk at a speed. Under the impact of external force, the third meshing teeth and the fourth meshing teeth disengage, thereby making the calf mechanism 502 and the thigh mechanism 501 bendable. When the calf mechanism 502 and the thigh mechanism 501 bend, the first rope 4 is tightened, thereby driving the fourth rope 707 to tighten and lifting the first limit component 705 upward, so that the track slider 301 moves to the third position 321 under the tension of the first tension component 708, and then the third rope 706, the fourth rope 707 and the first rope 4 are tightened. At this time, the third tension component 801 connected to the first rope 4 is stretched, and the four second ropes 402 connected to the first rope 4 are tightened, thereby giving a pulling force to the two grabbers 601, making the device more secure when perching and grabbing.

[0056] When the device is ready to take off again, it is first necessary to start the DC brushless motor on the quadrotor drone 2 to give the device a lifting force to ensure that the two grippers 601 will not fall suddenly when they are switched to the open state; then the first drive motor 703 is started and driven to rotate forward, and the screw slider 702 moves to the fourth position 711 on the screw 701. In the process of the screw slider 702 moving along the screw 701, since the third rope 706 and the fourth rope 707 are in a taut state, they will respectively drive the two grippers 601 to slowly open under the action of the screw slider 702, and drive the track slider 301 from the third position 321 back to the second position 322, so that it will be stuck by the first limit assembly 705 again; in the process of the screw slider 702 moving to the fourth position 711, the third rope 706 is gradually tightened, so that the triangular connecting plate is stuck The buckle spring 511 is in a stretched state driven by the seventh rope 513, so that the second limit assembly 902 is always in the third state, and since the track slider 301 is in the second position 322, the first rope 4 is in a relaxed state, and the first limit assembly 705 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring and clamps the track slider 301. At this time, the thigh mechanism 501 and the calf mechanism 502 are in a bendable state; when the two grippers 601 are fully opened and the screw slider 702 is in the fourth position 711, the first drive motor 703 is driven to reverse, driving the screw slider 702 to return to the first position 712. At the same time, the second limit assembly 902 returns to its initial position under the tension of the compression spring 903, clamping the calf mechanism 502 and the thigh mechanism 501 so that they cannot bend, in preparation for the next perching and grasping.
