DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-10 The present application provides a technical solution: a quadruped robot body comprising a fixed plate 1, fitting plates 3 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate 1, a fastening screw 2 is arranged through the middle position of the fitting plate 3, a fixed nut 4 is threadedly connected to the fastening screw 2, two square through grooves are formed in the fixed plate 1, a guide plate 5 is slidingly arranged in the square through groove of the fixed plate 1, a lifting plate 6 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the guide plate 5, a limiting plate 8 is arranged in the lifting plate 6, a bearing plate 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the limiting plate 8, threaded holes are formed in the left and right sides of the bearing plate 9, an anti-interference shell 14 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the upper end of the lifting plate 6, a partition plate 15 is fixedly installed in the anti-interference shell 14, a magnetic generating coil 16 is arranged outside the partition plate 15, an electromagnetic variable liquid 18 is arranged in the partition plate 15, a supporting rod 17 is slidingly arranged at the upper end position of the anti-interference shell 14, and the supporting rod 17 is connected with the fixed plate 1.

[0031] When the quadruped robot is used in a complex environment, the moving rack 24 is not fitted with the guide plate 5, at this time, the walking wheel 12, the second supporting leg 11 and the first supporting leg 10 start to move upward as the walking wheel 12 contacts the ground, at this time, the lifting plate 6 starts to move towards the fixed plate 1, because the fixed plate 1 is fixedly installed with the supporting rod 17 at the lower end, at this time, the supporting rod 17 starts to slide in the anti-interference shell 14 Figure 10The anti-interference shell 14 is externally provided with a spring structure, and the upper end of the damping spring structure is connected with the fixed plate 1, and the lower end is connected with the lifting plate 6. At this time, the damping spring structure is squeezed and deformed, and the deformation of the damping spring structure can realize the damping support of the lifting plate 6, so as to achieve the purpose of damping the first supporting leg 10, the second supporting leg 11 and the walking wheel 12 (the walking mode of the first supporting leg 10, the second supporting leg 11 and the walking wheel 12 is consistent with the four-legged driving mode of the existing four-legged robot). The magnetic field generated by the magnetic generating coil 16 can magnetize the magnetic particles in the electromagnetic variable liquid 18 and arrange them into a chain structure along the magnetic force line to form a magnetic chain. The formation and interaction of the magnetic chain increase the shear stress and viscosity of the liquid.

[0034] The connecting rotating shaft 19 is rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the fixed plate 1, the belt pulley set 20 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the connecting rotating shaft 19, the double-shaft motor 21 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 1, the output end of the double-shaft motor 21 is connected with the belt pulley set 20 through a rotating shaft, the rotating screw 22 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the connecting rotating shaft 19, the rotating screw 22 is connected with the supporting plate 9 through the threaded hole of the supporting plate 9, the rotating gear 23 is installed on the output end of the double-shaft motor 21 through a rotating shaft, the moving rack 24 is engaged with the side surface of the rotating gear 23, the moving rack 24 is attached to the guide plate 5, the first electric telescopic rod 7 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lifting plate 6, the cylindrical recess is arranged on the left and right sides of the limiting plate 8, the outer surface of the limiting plate 8 is smooth, the limiting plate 8 is connected with the first electric telescopic rod 7 through the cylindrical recess, the pressure sensor 13 is fixedly installed in the lifting plate 6, the lower end of the pressure sensor 13 is attached to the upper end of the limiting plate 8, the gear structure is arranged on the moving rack 24, the moving rack 24 is connected with the rotating gear 23 through the gear structure, the rotating gear 23 is rotatably connected with the fixed plate 1 through the rotating shaft arranged on the lower end, the additional plate 26 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 1, the limiting block 25 is fixedly installed on the additional plate 26, the long strip limiting recess is arranged on the moving rack 24, the moving rack 24 is slidably connected with the limiting block 25 through the limiting recess, the penetrating square clamping recess is arranged on the guide plate 5, and the guide plate 5 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the lifting plate 6.

[0035] When walking on a smooth road, the first electric telescopic rod 7 starts to work, and the first electric telescopic rod 7 is no longer attached to the limiting plate 8. Then the double-shaft motor 21 starts to work, because the lower output end of the double-shaft motor 21 is connected with the rotating gear 23, at this time the rotating gear 23 starts to rotate, because the side of the rotating gear 23 is meshed with the moving rack 24, at this time the moving rack 24 starts to slide, and under the action of the limiting block 25, the moving rack 24 can be guided and limited, until the moving rack 24 is attached to the through square clamping groove on the guide plate 5, so that the guide plate 5 can be clamped and fixed, that is, the position of the lifting plate 6 can be clamped and fixed, at this time it is no longer used with the variable damping part composed of the anti-interference shell 14, the partition plate 15, the magnetic generating coil 16, the supporting rod 17 and the electromagnetic variable liquid 18. At the same time, with the working of the double-shaft motor 21, the pulley set 20 connected with the connecting shaft 19 through the rotating shaft also starts to work, because the pulley set 20 is connected with the connecting shaft 19, at this time the connecting shaft 19 starts to rotate (the pulley set 20 is composed of two rotating wheels and a belt, and the two rotating wheels are connected with the upper output end of the double-shaft motor 21 and the connecting shaft 19 respectively, and the diameter difference between the two rotating wheels can drive the connecting shaft 19 to rotate quickly), because the connecting shaft 19 is installed with the rotating screw 22, and the rotating screw 22 is connected with the supporting plate 9 through the threaded holes on the left and right sides of the supporting plate 9, therefore, with the rotation of the rotating screw 22, the supporting plate 9 starts to move downward, and the limiting plate 8 no longer presses the pressure sensor 13, with the downward movement of the supporting plate 9, the first supporting leg 10, the second supporting leg 11 and the walking wheel 12 also start to move downward, so as to achieve the purpose of lifting the height of the whole four-legged robot body 35 (when walking on a smooth road, the height can be increased to improve the inspection effect and range, and when walking on a complex road, the height can be reduced to improve the stability of the four-legged robot), and the inspection range of the four-legged robot body 35 is increased.
