[0045] Working principle of kangaroo leg simulation module 100:

[0046] 1. Jumping exercise

[0047] 1. Landing phase

[0048] 1) Preparation

[0049] The process is that the motor I101 rotates the connecting shaft I104, and the connecting shaft I104 drives the connecting shaft II105 to move the connecting plate 102. The air pump 103 delivers gas to the cylinder 112 to control the piston rod 113 to drive the kangaroo calf 119 so that the kangaroo foot 120 is parallel to the ground.

[0050] 2) Compression stage

[0051] The process is that the rotating motor I101 rotates the connecting shaft I104, and the connecting shaft I104 drives the connecting shaft II105 to move the connecting plate 102 backward and downward until the angle between the connecting shafts I104 and II105 expands to the required angle. The air pump 103 inputs gas to the cylinder 112 to extend the piston rod 113 outward, causing the support mechanism composed of the rotating shaft II110, the connecting rod 109, and the rotating shaft I106 to tilt forward, and the spring 114 is stretched.

[0052] 3) Take-off phase

[0053] The process starts with the rotating motor Ⅰ101 rotating the connecting shaft 104, and the connecting shaft Ⅰ104 drives the connecting shaft Ⅱ105 to move the connecting plate 102 forward and rise until the angle between the connecting shaft Ⅰ104 and the connecting shaft Ⅱ105 shrinks to the required angle. The air pump 103 outputs the gas in the cylinder 112 to make the piston rod 113 shrink inward, driving the kangaroo calf 120 to swing backward, and the spring 114 returns to its original length, pushing the entire robot to jump diagonally upward.

[0054] 2. Takeoff and landing phase

[0055] The process is that the motor I101 rotates the connecting shaft I104, and the connecting shaft I104 drives the connecting shaft II105 to move the connecting plate 102 to restore it to its initial state. The air pump 103 supplies gas to the cylinder 112 to control the piston rod 113 to drive the kangaroo calf 120 so that the kangaroo foot 121 also returns to its initial state and is parallel to the ground.

[0056] 2. Wheel Movement

[0057] The process is that the rotating motor I 101 rotates the connecting shaft I 104, the connecting shaft II 105 cooperates to drive the connecting plate 102, and the air pump I 103 drives the kangaroo calf 120 to lift up so that the driving wheel 119 contacts the ground. The spring 115 is stretched to the maximum length so that the kangaroo leg module 100 is perpendicular to the ground, and the rotating motor II 118 drives the driving wheel 117 to move.
