Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mobile structure technology, and particularly relates to a foldable leg-type mobile structure. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and continuous advancements in science and technology, the robotics industry has also flourished, keeping pace with the times and giving rise to various types of mobile robots to meet societal demands. Quadruped robots, as a type of biomimetic robot, have become a focal point within the robotics industry. By mimicking the movement patterns of quadrupedal animals, they can walk and move on various complex terrains, thus enabling them to replace human labor in some hazardous work environments.

[0003] In existing technologies, quadruped robots typically use long, straight rods for their legs, and rotational drives are the primary method for movement. Furthermore, quadruped robots generally employ a configuration where the leg drive joint axes are parallel, while the hip drive joint axes are perpendicular to the leg drive joint axes; other angular arrangements are rarely used. Additionally, while the prone or kneeling posture is a gait used to demonstrate robot movement, most quadruped robots fail to integrate their legs naturally into their torso like real animals. This makes them easily identifiable during dangerous tasks, leading to mission failure. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Furthermore, in the foldable leg-type mobile structure of the present invention, the first leg unit module includes a first leg and a first mounting platform. The first mounting platform is welded to the bottom of the first leg. A first clearance groove is provided on one side of the bottom of the first leg to avoid the joint motor. A first connecting hole is provided around the first mounting platform. A first recess is provided in the middle of the first mounting platform. The base of the first joint motor is embedded in the first recess and connected and fixed to the first connecting hole by bolts, thereby ensuring the installation of the joint motor.

[0054] Furthermore, in the foldable leg-type mobile structure of the present invention, the second leg unit module includes a second leg, a first drive shaft connecting platform, and a second mounting platform. The first drive shaft connecting platform is welded to one side of the upper end of the second leg, and the second mounting platform is welded to the bottom of the second leg. The first drive shaft connecting platform is provided with a first connecting shaft hole. The output shaft of the first joint motor is connected to the first connecting shaft hole by bolts, so that when the joint motor rotates, it drives the second leg unit module to fold towards the first leg unit module. The second mounting platform is provided with a second connecting hole around it, and a second recess is provided in the middle of the second mounting platform. The base of the second joint motor is embedded in the second recess and fixed to the second connecting hole by bolts, thereby ensuring the installation of the joint motor.

[0055] Furthermore, in the foldable leg-type mobile structure of the present invention, the third leg unit module includes a third leg, a second drive shaft connecting platform, and a third mounting platform. The second drive shaft connecting platform is welded to one side of the upper end of the third leg, and the third mounting platform is welded to the bottom of the third leg. A third recess is provided in the middle of the second drive shaft connecting platform, and a second connecting shaft hole is provided at the bottom of the third recess. The output shaft of the second joint motor is inserted into the third recess and connected to the second connecting shaft hole by bolts, so that when the joint motor rotates, it drives the third leg unit module to fold towards the second leg unit module. A third connecting hole is provided around the third mounting platform, and the third joint motor base is fixed to the third connecting hole by bolts, thereby ensuring the installation of the joint motor.

[0056] Furthermore, in the foldable leg-type mobile structure of the present invention, the fourth leg unit module includes a fourth leg and a third drive shaft connecting platform. The second drive shaft connecting platform is welded to one side of the upper end of the third leg. A fourth recess is provided in the middle of the third drive shaft connecting platform. A third connecting shaft hole is provided at the bottom of the fourth recess.

A second clearance groove is provided at the bottom of the fourth leg to avoid the joint motor.

[0057] Specifically, during folding, the joint motor between the first and second leg unit modules rotates, causing the second leg unit module to fold towards the first leg unit module; the joint motor between the second and third leg unit modules rotates, causing the third leg unit module to fold towards the second leg unit module; and the joint motor between the third and fourth leg unit modules rotates, causing the fourth leg unit module to fold towards the third leg unit module. Figure 10 As shown, the second leg unit module, the third leg unit module, and the fourth leg unit module are folded from a planar arrangement to an arrangement surrounding the first leg unit module. In this state, the maximum edge length of the leg module is equal to the edge length of the first regular tetrahedron module, the second regular tetrahedron module, the third regular tetrahedron module, the fourth regular tetrahedron module, and the fifth regular tetrahedron module.

[0058] When all four leg modules fold simultaneously, such as Figure 11 As shown, the leg and foot module is folded from a planar arrangement to an arrangement surrounding the first leg and foot unit module. In this state, the transformation from a standing posture to a prone posture can be realized.

[0059] In summary, compared with the prior art, the foldable legged mobile structure of the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: the overall structure is simple, and the connection between the joint motor and the leg unit module effectively changes the arrangement of the rotation joint angle of the traditional quadruped robot. While using the joint motor to achieve walking, the leg module can also change from an extended state to a folded state, and the prone posture is closer to that of a real animal, thereby effectively improving the safety when performing tasks.
