[0015] The present invention sets a frame as the main body of the micro-frog jumping robot. The front of the frame is the forward direction of the bionic frog robot, that is, the positive direction of the X-axis. The frame is provided with a second incomplete gear and a sixth gear that mesh with each other. The sixth gear is sleeved on the second output shaft. The second output shaft is rotatably connected to the frame. The second output shaft is also provided with two first bobbins. The rotation of the second incomplete gear can drive the sixth gear, the second output shaft, and the first bobbin to rotate accordingly. The two first bobbins are respectively located on the left and right sides of the frame, that is, corresponding to the two hind leg mechanisms set on both sides of the Y-axis direction. The hind leg mechanisms are located on the X-axis.

The upward vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 is hinged to the frame body, and the upward vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 is located in front of the downward vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 in the front-to-back direction. The two ends of the first spring 71 are respectively connected to the two vertices of the first rear leg frame 61 along the front-to-back direction, and the sole 8 is connected to the bottom of the first rear leg frame 61; the lines extended from the two first wire drums 23 are respectively connected to the downward vertices of the first rear leg frames 61 of the two rear leg mechanisms, and the two first wire drums 23 are used to pull the corresponding first rear leg frames 61 to deform.

[0029] In this embodiment, a frame is set as the main body of the micro-frog jumping robot, the front of the frame is the forward direction of the bionic frog robot, that is, the positive direction of the X-axis, and a second incomplete gear 13 and a sixth gear 15 that are meshed with each other are provided on the frame. The sixth gear 15 is sleeved on the second output shaft 24, and the second output shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the frame. Two first bobbins 23 are also provided on the second output shaft 24. The rotation of the second incomplete gear 13 can drive the sixth gear 15, the second output shaft 24, and the first bobbin 23 to rotate accordingly. The two first bobbins 23 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the frame, that is, corresponding to the two hind leg mechanisms provided on both sides of the Y-axis direction. The hind leg mechanisms Located in the plane where the X-axis and Z-axis are located, the two rear leg mechanisms include two first rear leg frames 61 connected to the left and right sides of the frame respectively. The first rear leg frame 61 is a diamond structure. The diamond structure includes four sides and four vertices. The four sides are hinged in sequence. The upward vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 is hinged to the side of the frame. A first spring 71 is provided between the two vertices of the first rear leg frame 61 facing the positive and negative directions of the X-axis. The line of the first bobbin 23 is connected to the downward vertex of the first rear leg frame 61. A sole 8 is provided under the first rear leg frame 61. The sole 8 is supported on the working surface, that is, on the plane where the X-axis and Y-axis are located. When the second incomplete gear 13 drives the first bobbin 23 to rotate, the line of the first bobbin 23 is wound around the first bobbin 23. On a spool 23, the line of the first spool 23 is tightened, pulling the lower vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 to move toward the upper vertex, the first rear leg frame 61 is shortened in the Z-axis direction, and elongated in the X-axis direction, driving the first spring 71 to lengthen. Since the second incomplete gear 13 is an incomplete gear, its circumferential part has no teeth, and the toothless part cannot engage with the sixth gear 15. When the second incomplete gear 13 and the sixth gear 15 rotate to the point where they cannot engage, the first spool 23 loses driving force, and the line of the first spool 23 can no longer pull the first rear leg frame 61. The first spring 71 returns to its original length, and the size of the first rear leg frame 61 in the Z-axis direction is elongated. The two first spools 23 correspond to The two first hind leg frames 61 on the left and right sides of the frame and the two first bobbins 23 work simultaneously, and the first springs 71 on the two first hind leg frames 61 accumulate elastic potential energy and then release it, driving the two first hind leg frames 61 to extend in the Z-axis direction, and the force exerted on the working surface by the soles 8 drives the bionic frog robot to jump. Since the upward vertex of the first hind leg frame 61 is located in front of the downward vertex in the X-axis direction, that is, in the positive direction of the X-axis, the first hind leg frame 61 is tilted forward as a whole, so that the micro-frog jumping robot jumps forward. In this process, the elastic potential energy accumulated by the first springs 71 can increase the jumping distance of the micro-frog jumping robot.

[0030] Specifically, a frog head 1 is provided in front of the frame, and the second incomplete gear 13 rotates continuously, so that the first spring 71 continuously switches between accumulating energy and releasing energy, so that the micro-frog jumping robot can jump continuously. The four sides of the first hind leg frame 61 are the first front upper hind leg plate 613, the first rear upper hind leg plate 614, the first front lower hind leg plate 615 and the first rear lower hind leg plate 616. Each hind leg plate can be hinged by a pin, and a retaining spring is also provided on the pin to prevent the pin from moving axially. A wire hole 612 is provided on the downward end of the first front lower hind leg plate 615 or the first rear lower hind leg plate 616, and the wire of the first spool 23 is connected to the wire hole 612; the wire diameter of the first spring 71 is set to 0.7 mm, the outer diameter is set to 6 mm, and the length is set to 65 mm. The elastic coefficient of the first spring 71 is 130 kN / m, and the jumping distance of the micro-frog jumping robot is 2.6 m at a mechanical efficiency of 70%.

[0031] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the miniature frog-like jumping robot also includes an auxiliary energy storage component, which includes two second bobbins 18, a first incomplete gear 12, a fifth gear 19, and a first output shaft 27. The first output shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the frame body, and the fifth gear 19 and the two second bobbins 18 are fixedly sleeved on the first output shaft 27. The two second bobbins 18 are respectively located at both ends of the first output shaft 27, and the fifth gear 19 is engaged with the first incomplete gear 12; a spring sleeve rod 63 is provided at the rear vertex of the first hind leg frame 61, and the spring sleeve rod 63 extends in the left and right directions. The wires extended from the two second bobbins 18 respectively pass around the spring sleeve rods 63 of the two first hind leg frames 61 and are connected to the rear end of the first spring 71.

[0032] In this embodiment, a first incomplete gear 12 is provided on the frame, the first incomplete gear 12 is meshed with the fifth gear 19, the fifth gear 19 is sleeved on the first output shaft 27, the first output shaft 27 is rotatably connected to the frame, and two second bobbins 18 are further provided on the first output shaft 27. The two second bobbins 18 are located at both ends of the first output shaft 27 along the Y-axis direction, corresponding to the two first rear leg frames 61 respectively. The rotation of the first incomplete gear 12 can drive the fifth gear 19, the first output shaft 27 and the second bobbin 18 to rotate in turn. A spring sleeve rod is connected to the vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 facing the negative direction of the X-axis. 63, the spring sleeve rod 63 extends along the Y-axis direction, the wire on the second bobbin 18 passes around the spring sleeve rod 63 and is connected to the end of the first spring 71 facing the negative direction of the X-axis, and the first spring 71 is indirectly connected to the rear end of the first hind leg frame 61 through the wire of the second bobbin 18 and the spring sleeve rod 63. When the first incomplete gear 12 rotates, it drives the second bobbin 18 to rotate, the wire on the second bobbin 18 is tightened, and the first spring 71 is pulled to extend, increasing the elastic potential energy accumulated in the first spring 71. When used in conjunction with the first bobbin 23 and the second incomplete spring, the jumping distance of the miniature frog-like jumping robot is further increased.

[0033] Specifically, there can be two first springs 71 on any first rear leg frame 61, and the two first springs 71 are respectively connected to the two sides of the first rear leg frame 61 along the Y-axis direction. The corresponding second bobbins 18 are also two. The wires of the two second bobbins 18 respectively pass around the spring sleeve rod 63 and pass through the two ends of the first rear leg frame 61 in the Y-axis direction, and are connected to the two first springs 71 to increase the continued elastic potential energy of the first rear leg frame 61. A spring sleeve can be set on the spring sleeve rod 63, and the wire of the second bobbin 18 passes around the spring sleeve, so that the wire of the second bobbin 18 can be wrapped around the spring sleeve rod 63 to pull the first spring 71.

[0034] Alternatively, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the miniature frog-like jumping robot also includes a first motor 22, a second input shaft 26, a third gear 20, a fourth gear 14 and a third input shaft 25.

When the first motor 22 drives the second input shaft 26 in one direction, such as reverse rotation, the third gear 20 reverses, the fourth gear 14 rotates forward, and the third input shaft 25 rotates forward, driving the second incomplete gear 13 to rotate forward, and driving the first bobbin 23 to work. During this process, the first incomplete gear 12 does not rotate due to the action of the one-way bearing; when the first motor 22 When the second input shaft 26 is driven in another direction, for example, forward rotation, the first incomplete gear 12 rotates forward to drive the second bobbin 18 to work. During this process, the third gear 20 does not rotate due to the action of the one-way bearing. When working, the first motor 22 first drives the second input shaft 26 to rotate forward, so that the second bobbin 18 pulls the first spring 71 to store energy. Then, the second input shaft 26 is driven reversely, so that the first bobbin 23 drives the first spring 71 to store energy. Then, the second input shaft 26 is continuously rotated forward and reversed to release the elastic potential energy of the first spring 71, and the micro frog-like jumping robot jumps forward. In this way, only one motor is used to drive the first bobbin 23 and the second bobbin 18 separately, saving installation space, reducing the size of the micro frog-like jumping robot, and adapting to a small working space.

The first motor 22 can drive the second input shaft 26 to rotate forward or reverse through the mechanical transmission of the first input shaft 29, the first gear 28 and the second gear 21. The gears that mesh with each other act as a reducer, thereby increasing the torque output and facilitating the operation of the first bobbin 23 and the second bobbin 18.

[0038] Alternatively, as Figure 1As shown, the frame includes a third outer plate 32 , and the two third outer plates 32 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the frame and are sleeved on both ends of the second output shaft 24 . The upward vertex of the first rear leg frame 61 is hinged to the third outer plate 32 .

[0039] In this embodiment, a third outer plate 32 is provided on both sides of the frame along the Y-axis direction to provide an installation position for the second output shaft 24 and the first rear leg frame 61. The third outer plate 32 is sleeved on the second output shaft 24, and the first rear leg frame 61 is hinged to the third outer plate 32 to improve the stability of the overall structure.

[0040] Specifically, the two third outer plates 32 are also sleeved on both ends of the third input shaft 25 , the second input shaft 26 , and the first output shaft 27 to improve the overall structural stability.

The first rear leg frame 61 includes a first front upper rear leg plate 613, a first rear upper rear leg plate 614, a first front lower rear leg plate 615 and a first rear lower rear leg plate 616. The first front upper rear leg plate 613 is provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole at one end facing the first rear upper rear leg plate 614, and the first rear upper rear leg plate 614 is provided with a third connecting hole and a fourth connecting hole at one end facing the first front upper rear leg plate 613. A first pin 322 is provided to pass through the first connecting hole, the third connecting hole and the upper slot, a second pin 323 is provided to pass through the second connecting hole and the rear slot, and a third pin 324 is provided to pass through the fourth The connecting hole and the front notch make the first front upper rear leg plate 613 and the first rear upper rear leg plate 614 hinged to the third outer plate 32. When the first spool 23 pulls the first rear leg frame 61 to contract in the Z-axis direction, the first front upper rear leg plate 613 and the first rear upper rear leg plate 614 rotate around the first pin 322 at the same time, and the second pin 323 drives the first front upper rear leg plate 613 to move from the rear notch to the front notch, and the third pin 324 drives the first rear upper rear leg plate 614 to move from the front notch to the rear notch. The moving distances of the second pin 323 and the third pin 324 are the same but in opposite directions, so that the first front upper rear leg plate 613 and the first rear upper rear leg plate 614 rotate around the first pin 322 at the same angle, so that the center of gravity of the first rear leg frame 61 only moves along the Y-axis direction, which is convenient for ensuring the smooth movement of the micro frog-like jumping robot.

[0043] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the hind leg mechanism also includes a second hind leg frame 62 and a second spring 72. The second hind leg frame 62 has the same structure as the first hind leg frame 61. The two upward sides of the second hind leg frame 62 are hinged to the two downward sides of the first hind leg frame 61 respectively. The two ends of the second spring 72 are respectively connected to the two vertices of the second hind leg frame 62 along the front and rear directions. The first wire drum 23 includes two extended wires. The two wires extended from the first wire drum 23 are respectively connected to the corresponding downward vertex of the first hind leg frame 61 and the downward vertex of the second hind leg frame 62 in the hind leg mechanism. The sole 8 is connected to the bottom of the second hind leg frame 62.

[0044] In this embodiment, a second hind leg frame 62 is arranged below the first hind leg frame 61, and the second hind leg frame 62 also has a diamond structure. The two upward sides of the second hind leg frame 62 are respectively hinged to the two downward sides of the first hind leg frame 61, and the hinge point is the midpoint of each side. The sole 8 is connected to the bottom of the second hind leg frame 62. Accordingly, a second spring 72 is arranged between the front and rear vertices of the second hind leg frame 62, and the first bobbin 23 is also provided with a line connected to the lower end of the second hind leg frame 62. When working, the first bobbin 23 simultaneously pulls the first hind leg frame 61 and the second hind leg frame 62 to contract in the Z-axis direction, and the first spring 71 and the second spring 72 accumulate elastic potential energy together to improve the jumping distance of the micro frog-like jumping robot.

[0045] Specifically, each second bobbin 18 is also provided with two wires, which are respectively connected to the first spring 71 and the second spring 72 to further enhance the stored elastic potential energy.

[0046] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sole 8 is hinged to the lower vertex of the first rear leg frame 61.

[0047] In this embodiment, by hingedly connecting the sole 8 to the lower end of the first hind leg frame 61, the sole 8 can rotate relative to the first hind leg frame 61 when the miniature frog-like jumping robot takes off and lands, making the bionic robot take off and land more smoothly.

[0048] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the miniature frog-like jumping robot also includes a second outer plate 31, a front leg 4 and a connecting rope. The two second outer plates 31 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the frame. The second outer plate 31 is provided with a downwardly extending connecting plate, which is located in front of the hind leg mechanism. The lower end of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the middle part of the front leg 4. The rear end of the front leg 4 is provided with a blocking structure 41, which is used to abut against the connecting plate. The two ends of the connecting rope are respectively connected to the rear end of the front leg 4 and the rearward part of the first hind leg frame 61.

[0049] In this embodiment, second outer plates 31 are provided on both sides of the frame, and a connecting plate extending downward is provided on the second outer plate 31, and the connecting plate is located in front of the rear leg mechanism, that is, in the positive direction of the X-axis, so that the front leg 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and the connection point is located in the middle of the front leg 4, and a connecting rope is provided on the rear end of the front leg 4, and the other end of the connecting rope is connected to the rear part of the first rear leg frame 61, and the connecting rope plays a role of limiting the front leg 4. When the first bobbin 23 pulls the first rear leg frame 61 to retract along the Z-axis, the rear part of the first rear leg frame 61 moves backward, driving the connecting rope, pulling the front leg 4 to rotate, so that the front end of the front leg 4 extends forward, maintaining the overall center of gravity balance of the miniature frog-like jumping robot. When the first bobbin 23 is released, the connecting rope is loose, and the front end of the front leg 4 rotates downward, and a blocking structure 41 is provided on the rear end of the front leg 4. During the rotation process, the blocking structure 41 abuts against the connecting plate, hindering the rotation of the front leg 4, so that the front leg 4 is always in a state of extending forward.

[0050] Specifically, a rope hole 65611 for connecting a connecting rope is opened on the first rear upper rear leg plate 614.

[0051] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the miniature frog-like jumping robot also includes a steering wheel 3 and a steering motor. The steering wheel 3 is connected to the front of the frame, and the axial direction of the steering wheel 3 extends in the front-back direction. The steering motor is drive-connected to the steering wheel 3, and the steering wheel 3 is used to roll along the working plane.

[0052] In this embodiment, a steering wheel 3 is provided in front of the frame, and the axis of the steering wheel 3 extends along the X-axis direction. When the first bobbin 23 pulls the first hind leg frame 61 to shrink along the Z-axis direction, the overall center of gravity of the micro frog-like jumping robot is lowered, and the steering wheel 3 is in contact with the working plane. A steering motor is provided to drive the steering wheel 3 to rotate, so that the steering wheel 3 rolls on the working plane to adjust the jumping direction of the micro frog-like jumping robot.
