[0027] S1: Drive the drive shaft to rotate through the driving device. The drive shaft drives the swing shaft to perform circular motion through the driving swing rod. The swing shaft drives the leg guide link to swing around the driven shaft as the central axis, and then drives the quadrilateral link to swing around the driven shaft as the central axis.

[0029] S2: When the transmission gear rotates to a position where there are no teeth meshing with the driven gear, the connection between the driven gear and the transmission gear is disconnected. The energy storage rope no longer transmits the pulling force to the quadrilateral link. The quadrilateral link deforms under the restoring forces of the first spring and the second spring, thereby driving the foot link to swing rapidly. When the foot link swings rapidly, it will push on the ground through the supporting feet, thereby generating a jumping action;
[0030] S3: Then, driven by the drive shaft, the driving swing rod, the swing shaft, the leg guide link and the quadrilateral link, the foot link continues to swing, the transmission gear meshes with the driven gear again, and steps S1 and S2 are repeated.
[0031] The present invention has achieved the following technical effects compared with the prior art:

[0033] The energy storage adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism with coupled drive of the present invention can pull the quadrilateral link through the energy storage rope during operation, causing the quadrilateral link mechanism to deform, so that the first spring and the second spring store energy. After releasing the driven gear and the energy storage rope, the stored energy of the first spring and the second spring is released, thereby realizing the jumping action; at the same time, the leg guide link can be used to drive the quadrilateral link to swing, thereby realizing the walking gait; thus realizing the coupling of the walking gait and the jumping gait of the leg-foot mechanism.
[0034] Furthermore, the energy storage adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism with coupled drive of the present invention can adjust the tightness of the energy storage rope by adjusting the position of the rope end fixing piece, thereby adjusting the stiffness of the jump, so that the energy storage adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism with coupled drive of the present invention can adapt to different environments.

[0044] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0045] Embodiment 1
[0046] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, this embodiment provides a coupled-driven energy-storing adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism, which includes a housing 2, a driving device 1, and two walking and jumping units. The driving device 1 is fixedly arranged in the housing 2.
[0047] Each walking and jumping unit includes a driving shaft 15, a driving swing rod 3, a driven shaft, a leg guide link, a third link 26, a fourth link 7, a foot link 8, a first spring 12, a second spring 6, and an energy-storing rope 13.
[0048] Among them, the driving shaft 15 and the driven shaft are respectively rotatably fitted with the housing 2; the driving device 1 is used to drive the driving shaft 15 to rotate; in this embodiment, the driving device 1 adopts a motor. Also, since the driving device 1 is located between the two walking and jumping units, a double-output shaft motor needs to be used for the motor. The driving shaft 15 corresponds to the output shaft of the motor one by one, and the driving shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the corresponding output shaft.
[0049] A transmission gear 14 is fixedly sleeved on the driving shaft 15. The transmission gear 14 is an incomplete gear; one end of the driving swing rod 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the driving shaft 15, and a swing shaft is fixedly arranged at the other end of the driving swing rod 3. The swing shaft is parallel to the driving shaft 15 but not coaxial; the driving swing rod 3 is perpendicular to the driving shaft 15.
[0050] In this embodiment, a retaining ring 4 is also fixedly arranged on the driving shaft 15. The retaining ring 4 is used for axially limiting the limiting swing rod to prevent the limiting swing rod from moving along the axial direction of the driving shaft 15; in actual applications, as long as it is ensured that the limiting swing rod is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 15 and the two do not move relative to each other.
[0051] The leg guide link includes a rocker 5, a first link 23, and a second link 10 fixedly connected in sequence; the driving shaft 15, the swing shaft, the driven shaft, and the first link 23 are parallel to each other; both the rocker 5 and the second link 10 are perpendicular to the first link 23; the first end of the second link 10 is fixedly connected to the first link 23, and the second end of the second link 10 is farther from the housing 2 than the first end of the second link 10; the rocker 5 is rotatably sleeved on the driven shaft; a second chute 22 is arranged on the rocker 5, and the swing shaft is slidably fitted with the second chute 22.
[0052] In this embodiment, a snap ring is also arranged on the driven shaft. The snap ring is used to prevent the rocker 5 from moving along the axial direction of the driven shaft.
[0053] The second link 10, the third link 26, the fourth link 7 and the foot link 8 form a quadrilateral link; specifically, one end of the third link 26 is hinged to the first end of the second link 10; one end of the fourth link 7 is hinged to the other end of the third link 26; one end of the foot link 8 is hinged to the second end of the second link 10, and the other end of the fourth link 7 is hinged to the foot link 8; a foot is provided at the other end of the foot link 8.
[0054] One end of the first spring 12 is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft between the second link 10 and the third link 26, and the other end is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft between the fourth link 7 and the foot link 8; specifically, a first connecting rod is fixedly provided on the hinge shaft between the second link 10 and the third link 26, a second connecting rod is fixedly provided on the hinge shaft between the fourth link 7 and the foot link 8, one end of the first spring 12 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod. The first connecting rod, the second connecting rod and the first spring 12 are coaxial.
[0055] One end of the second spring 6 is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft between the third link 26 and the fourth link 7, and the other end is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft between the second link 10 and the foot link 8; specifically, a third connecting rod is fixedly provided on the hinge shaft between the third link 26 and the fourth link 7, a fourth connecting rod is fixedly provided on the hinge shaft between the second link 10 and the foot link 8, one end of the second spring 6 is fixedly connected to the third connecting rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fourth connecting rod. The third connecting rod, the fourth connecting rod and the second spring 6 are coaxial.
[0056] One end of the driven shaft is fixedly provided with a driven gear 16 that can mesh with the transmission gear 14; a rotating column 24 is fixedly provided on the side of the driven gear 16 away from the driven shaft; a winding shaft 20, a groove and a first sliding groove are provided at the end of the rotating column 24 away from the driven gear 16, and the groove and the first sliding groove are separated by a partition; the driven gear 16, the driven shaft and the rotating column 24 are coaxial, and the length directions of the groove and the first sliding groove are the same and both are along the radial direction of the rotating column 24. A knurled nut 21 is provided in the groove, the screw 17 is threadedly connected to the knurled nut 21, the screw 17 passes through the partition and part of it is located in the first sliding groove, the screw 17 is slidably mated with the partition, and a rope end fixing member 18 and a limiting spring 19 are also provided in the first sliding groove; the rope end fixing member 18 is sleeved on the screw 17, the rope end fixing member 18 can slide and rotate relative to the screw 17, the limiting spring 19 is sleeved on the screw 17, one end of the limiting spring 19 abuts against the rope end fixing member 18, and the other end abuts against the partition; a limiting member 25 is fixedly provided on the screw 17, and the end of the rope end fixing member 18 away from the spring abuts against the limiting member 25; it should be noted that in addition to being able to be abutted by the rope end fixing member 18, the limiting member 25 can also perform circumferential limiting on the screw 17 to prevent the screw 17 from rotating in the first sliding groove.
[0057] The length of the knurled nut 21 is equal to the length of the groove; when it is necessary to adjust the position of the screw rod 17, the knurled nut 21 is manually rotated. Since the length of the knurled nut 21 is equal to the length of the groove, the position of the knurled nut 21 will not change, while the screw rod 17 will slide along the first chute under the driving action of the knurled nut 21, so as to adjust the position of the limiting member 25, and further realize the adjustment of the position of the rope end fixing member 18; after the position of the rope end fixing member 18 changes, the distance between the rope end fixing member 18 and the winding shaft 20 will change. Since the length of the energy storage rope 13 is constant, the adjustment of the position of the rope end fixing member 18 will cause the specific tightening degree of the quadrilateral link to change through the energy storage rope 13 (specifically reflected in the telescopic lengths of the first spring 12 and the second spring 6 when not storing energy and after releasing the stored energy), and further change the magnitude of the pushing force during the jumping action. Therefore, by rotating the knurled nut 21 to adjust the position of the screw rod 17, the energy storage amount and the jumping height during jumping can be adjusted, so that the energy storage adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism with coupled drive in this embodiment can meet the usage requirements in different environments.
[0058] One end of the energy storage rope 13 is fixedly connected to the rope end fixing member 18, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod. The energy storage rope 13 bypasses the winding shaft 20; the energy storage rope 13 is in a taut state.
[0059] It should be noted that the elastic coefficient of the limiting spring 19 needs to be significantly greater than the elastic coefficients of the first spring 12 and the second spring 6, so that when the first spring 12 and the second spring 6 are significantly telescoped and the quadrilateral mechanism is deformed, the limiting spring 19 basically does not generate a deformation amount.
[0060] In this embodiment, the driven gear 16 is integrally formed with the rotating column 24.
[0061] In this embodiment, the energy storage rope 13 also bypasses the hinge shaft between the second connecting rod 10 and the third connecting rod 26; after the energy storage rope 13 bypasses the hinge shaft between the second connecting rod 10 and the third connecting rod 26, the length direction of the energy storage rope 13 from the hinge shaft between the second connecting rod 10 and the third connecting rod 26 to the second connecting rod can be made parallel to the axial direction of the first spring 12, so that the pulling force of the energy storage rope 13 on the hinge shaft between the second connecting rod and the foot connecting rod and the fourth connecting rod 7 is parallel to the axial direction of the first spring 12, avoiding the generation of component forces in other directions, and enabling the energy storage rope 13 to quickly and sensitively pull the quadrilateral link.
[0062] In this embodiment, the second link 10, the third link 26, the fourth link 7 and the foot link 8 are hinged to each other by bolts 11 to form a parallelogram four-bar mechanism, that is, the bolts 11 are used as the hinge axes. In the normal state, the elastic forces of the first spring 12 and the second spring 6 ensure that this four-bar mechanism is stable and will not deform easily. When it is necessary to store energy - for jumping, the first spring 12 and the second spring 6 can be stretched and restored through the energy storage rope 13 to generate a predetermined jumping motion.
[0063] In this embodiment, the side of the second link 10 away from the first link 23 and the side of the rotating column 24 away from the driven gear 16 are coplanar, that is, the inner sides of the quadrilateral link and the rotating column 24 are coplanar, so that the energy storage rope 13 can be connected to the second connecting rod without obstruction, avoiding interference of the energy storage rope 13 by other components during the working process.
[0064] Embodiment 2
[0065] This embodiment provides a coupling drive method, based on the energy storage adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism of the coupling drive in Embodiment 1, specifically including the following steps:
[0066] S1: When the driving device 1 drives the driving shaft 15 to rotate, the driving shaft 15 drives the swing shaft to make a circular motion through the driving swing rod 3. Since the swing shaft is slidably matched with the second chute 22 of the rocker 5, and the rocker 5 is rotatably sleeved on the driven shaft, the swing shaft making a circular motion will drive the rocker 5 to swing around the driven shaft as the central axis, that is, the whole leg guide link will swing around the driven shaft as the central axis; and then drive the quadrilateral link to swing around the driven shaft as the central axis. The process of the foot connecting rod swinging is to realize the walking posture through the support feet;
[0067] While the driving shaft 15 rotates, it will also drive the driven gear 16 to rotate through the transmission gear 14, and then drive the driven shaft and the rotating column 24 to rotate. When the rotating column 24 rotates, the rope end fixing member 18 and the winding shaft 20 will also rotate with the rotating column 24. Since one end of the energy storage rope 13 is fixed on the rope end fixing member 18 and is also wound around the winding shaft 20, the rotation of the rotating column 24 will cause the energy storage rope 13 and the winding shaft 20 to pull the energy storage rope 13, so that the energy storage rope 13 will pull up the second connecting rod, and then cause the length of the quadrilateral link to shorten in the vertical direction and increase in the horizontal direction, that is, the first spring 12 will be compressed and the second spring 6 will be stretched, thereby realizing energy storage;
[0068] S2: Since the transmission gear 14 is an incomplete gear, when the transmission gear 14 rotates to the point where there is no tooth meshing with the driven gear 16, the driven gear 16 is disconnected from the transmission gear 14, and the force storage rope 13 no longer transmits the tension to the quadrilateral connecting rod. The quadrilateral connecting rod is deformed under the action of the restoring force of the first spring 12 and the second spring 6, thereby driving the foot connecting rod 8 to swing rapidly. When the foot connecting rod 8 swings rapidly, it pushes the ground through the supporting foot, thereby generating a jumping action;
[0069] S3: Then, driven by the driving shaft 15, the driving swing rod 3, the swing shaft, the leg guide link and the quadrilateral link, the foot link 8 continues to swing, the transmission gear 14 meshes with the driven gear 16 again, and drives the driven gear 16 to rotate, the rope contracts, the first spring 12 is compressed, and the second spring 6 is extended, and the force is accumulated again. Therefore, the swing of the foot link 8 and the force accumulation-jumping action are performed synchronously, and there is a coupling relationship between the two.
[0070] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0071] The present invention uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the ideas of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

10. A coupling driving method, characterized in that Based on the coupled drive energy storage adjustable jumping leg-foot mechanism according to any one of claims 1-9, the following steps are included: S1: Drive the drive shaft to rotate through the driving device. The drive shaft drives the swing shaft to perform a circular motion through the driving swing rod. The swing shaft drives the leg guide link to swing around the driven shaft as the central axis, and further drives the quadrilateral link to swing around the driven shaft as the central axis. The process of the foot connecting rod swinging is to realize the walking posture through the support feet; When the drive shaft rotates, it drives the driven gear to rotate through the transmission gear, and further drives the driven shaft and the rotating column to rotate. When the rotating column rotates, the rope end fixing member and the winding shaft will also rotate with the rotating column. The energy storage rope pulls up the second connecting rod, which causes the quadrilateral link to deform, the first spring is compressed, and the second spring elongates, thereby realizing energy storage; S2: When the transmission gear rotates to a position where no tooth is engaged with the driven gear, the connection between the driven gear and the transmission gear is disconnected. The energy storage rope no longer conducts the pulling force to the quadrilateral link. The quadrilateral link deforms under the restoring force of the first spring and the second spring, thereby driving the foot link to swing rapidly. When the foot link swings rapidly, it will push the ground through the support feet, thereby generating a jumping action; S3: Then, driven by the drive shaft, the driving swing rod, the swing shaft, the leg guide link and the quadrilateral link, the foot link continues to swing, the transmission gear meshes with the driven gear again, and steps S1 and S2 are repeated.
