Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mobile vehicles, and in particular relates to a mechanical leg for a mobile platform. Background Art

[0002] Most common mobile platform devices are mobile platforms that slide by rotating wheels. This type of wheeled mobile platform has a low chassis and is highly affected by the external environment. It is not suitable for use in places with complex external environments such as large ground undulations or many obstacles. Therefore, common wheeled mobile platforms will be limited in many applications. Mechanical leg mobile platforms have a strong ability to adapt to complex environments and can also be used on uneven roads or places with many obstacles.

[0003] Existing mechanical leg mobile platform solutions mostly use the forward and reverse switching of the motor to drive the mechanical legs to swing and realize the platform's forward movement. However, the instantaneous forward and reverse rotation of the motor will produce a large torque change, which may cause the mechanical legs to vibrate during operation. Frequent forward and reverse switching will cause a large impact on the mechanical transmission components and accelerate the wear of these components. This may cause the accuracy of the mechanical legs to decrease, requiring more frequent maintenance and replacement of parts, increasing the cost of use and maintenance workload.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mechanical leg for a mobile platform to solve the problem that the mechanical leg-type mobile platform solution in the prior art uses the forward and reverse switching of the motor to drive the mechanical leg to swing and realize the advancement of the platform. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor instantly produces torque changes, causing the mechanical leg to vibrate during operation; frequent forward and reverse switching will cause a greater impact on the mechanical transmission components and accelerate the wear of the components. Summary of the invention
