Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bionic robots, in particular to a line-driven bionic frog robot. Background Art

[0002] As the times change, humans have higher and higher requirements for exploring unknown environments, and the requirements for robots to be able to work in these extreme environments are also getting higher and higher. When robots encounter high obstacles during the exploration process, jumping robots have huge advantages over other robots. The frog's jump mainly relies on the contraction of the hind leg muscles to generate power. When the frog is ready to jump, it will contract the hind leg muscles and store energy in the tendons and ligaments. When the frog is ready to jump, it will release the stored energy, causing the hind legs to stretch rapidly, generating a strong thrust, pushing the body off the ground and into the air. This way of exerting force enables the frog to produce high-speed movement in a short period of time and has excellent jumping ability. The frog's jumping ability and dynamic stability allow it to adapt to different terrain environments. Because of its good jumping ability and its excellent ability to adapt to terrain, it can be used in environmental detection, exploration and rescue and other fields.

[0003] Referring to a bionic frog jumping robot disclosed in a patent application with authorization announcement number CN221188835U, the beneficial effect of the utility model is that due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the bionic robot can climb over high obstacles, has high jumping ability, and can climb over obstacles autonomously.

[0004] However, the above technology compresses the spring by relative movement between the first hind leg rod and the second hind leg rod. When the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor reaches a preset threshold, the spring releases the stored elastic potential energy to achieve jumping. However, the existing device is relatively unstable during the jumping process and is easy to flip in the air, and its practicality is average. Utility Model Content

When in use, starting the motor body can drive the first-level gear to rotate through the second-level gear to rotate the third-level gear shaft. Then the third-level gear shaft will drive the reel to pull the rope, and the pulling direction of the rope is adjusted by axis one to convert the pulling force into elastic force. When the second-level gear rotates to the incomplete gear part, the reel will loosen the rope to release the restriction on the adjustment mechanism for bouncing. On the one hand, it can avoid the loss of useful work caused by the inconsistency between the pulling direction and the movement direction of the hind leg jumping mechanism, and on the other hand, it can prevent the invalid pulling force component from damaging the hind leg jumping mechanism, and it has good practicality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 , the utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0027] The first embodiment: a line-driven bionic frog robot, comprising a body 1, and further comprising:

[0028] The jumping mechanism is arranged on the outside of the body 1 for storing elastic force to achieve jumping. The jumping mechanism includes a circular boss 1 23 and a circular boss 2 24 fixedly mounted on the rear ends of the left and right sides of the body 1. A gear leg 1 5 is movably mounted on one side of the circular boss 24. A lower leg 1 6 is movably hinged on the bottom surface of the gear leg 1 5. A connecting assembly is provided to support the position of the device and achieve jumping.

[0029] An incomplete gear drive mechanism is arranged inside the body 1 to drive the reel 15 to rotate and provide power to realize energy storage. The incomplete gear drive mechanism includes a reel 15 movably installed on the front and rear sides of the body 1. The connecting component includes a front leg 3 that is movably installed on the bottom surface of the front end on the left and right sides of the body 1 to support the front of the device. A card slot 28 for adjusting the length of the front leg 3 is opened on one side of the front leg 3, and the card slot 28 is composed of arc grooves and is linearly distributed on one side of the front leg 3, so that the take-off angle of the bionic frog can be adjusted, and its angle can be adjusted according to the needs of jumping. A gear leg 2 10 is movably installed on one side of the circular boss 1, and the rear end of the gear leg 2 10 is movably hinged with the calf 2 8, and the bottom end of the calf 2 8 is movably hinged with the sole 7 of the rear part of the supporting device. A spring 9 for releasing elastic force is fixedly installed at the hinge between the gear leg 1 5 and the calf 1 6, and the rear end of the calf 6 is movably hinged to the front end of the calf 2 8. The gear leg 1 5 is away from the meshing point of the calf 6. One end is meshed with the meshing end of gear leg 2 10 away from shank 2 8, and the rear end of spring 9 is fixedly installed at the meshing point of gear leg 2 10 and spring 9, and the incomplete gear driving mechanism pulls shank 1 6 and shank 2 8 to move to stretch spring 9, and at the same time shank 1 6 and shank 2 8 will also drive gear leg 1 5 and gear leg 2 10 to move. When the incomplete gear driving mechanism is released, the pulling force of spring 9 will drive shank 1 6 and shank 2 8 to reset and jump through the sole 7. The connection method of gear leg 1 5, gear leg 2 10, shank 1 6 and shank 2 8 will make it have only one degree of freedom and a constant direction of movement, while ensuring the stability of the elastic force released by the jumping mechanism, preventing the body 1 from flipping, achieving a stable take-off posture and a smooth and non-flipping jumping process in the air. The front leg 3 is threadedly connected and installed with the threaded holes on the left and right sides of the body 1 through the bolt that moves through the slot 28, and the bolt can adjust the length of the front leg 3 through the slot 28.

[0030] By setting the calf 1 6 and calf 2 8, the stability of the device when jumping can be improved. When in use, the incomplete gear driving mechanism is started to pull the calf 1 6 and calf 2 8 to move and stretch the spring 9. At the same time, the calf 1 6 and calf 2 8 will also drive the gear leg 1 5 and gear leg 2 10 to move. When the incomplete gear driving mechanism is released, the pulling force of the spring 9 will drive the calf 1 6 and calf 2 8 to reset and release the elastic force to achieve jumping through the sole 7. The connection method of gear leg 1 5, gear leg 2 10, calf 1 6 and calf 2 8 will make it have only one degree of freedom and a constant direction of movement. While ensuring the stability of the elastic force released by the jumping mechanism, the body 1 is prevented from flipping, so that the take-off posture is stable and the jump in the air is smooth and without flipping, thereby improving the stability of the device when jumping.

[0031] The second embodiment is mainly different from the first embodiment in that: the incomplete gear drive mechanism also includes a wire rope 13 tied to the outside of the reel 15, a circular hole 12 is fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the body 1 and is tangent to the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the center of the circular boss 1 23 and the center of the circular boss 2 24, and a shaft 12 for limiting the position of the wire rope 13 is movably installed inside the circular hole 12, a circular hole 25, a circular hole 3 26 and a circular hole 4 27 are provided on the left side of the body 1, a mask 2 is provided on the front side of the body 1, a battery and a control chip 14 for controlling the operation of the device are fixedly installed on the top surface of the body 1, and the body 1 is movably installed with a primary gear 18, and a shaft 2 19 for improving the stability of the primary gear 18 during rotation is movably installed inside the circular hole 25 through a bearing, and a shaft 3 20 is movably installed inside the body 1, and a secondary gear 17 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the shaft 3 20, and there is a gap in the tooth block on the outer side of the secondary gear 17, and a motor seat 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the right side of the body 1, and a motor body 11 for driving the primary gear 18 to rotate is fixedly installed on the right side of the motor seat 4, and a third gear shaft 21 for driving the reel 15 to rotate is movably installed inside the body 1, and the body 1 and the mask 2 are fixedly installed. A three-stage gear fixing block 16 is installed, one end of the rope 13 is passed around the upper part of the shaft 12 and tied to the rear end of the calf 16, and the rope 13 can adjust the direction of the pulling force of the rope 13 by passing around the shaft 12. The adjusted pulling direction can completely convert the pulling force into elastic force, which can avoid the loss of useful work caused by the inconsistency between the pulling direction and the movement direction of the jumping mechanism on the one hand, and prevent the damage of the jumping mechanism to the invalid pulling force component on the other hand. The shaft 12 forms an interference fit with the circular hole 122, and the right end of the shaft 2 19 passes through the interior of the circular hole 25 and is fixedly installed on the left side of the first-stage gear 18. The output end of the motor body 11 is movable The first gear 18 is movable through the interior of the body 1 and is fixedly installed on one side of the primary gear 18. The left and right ends of the tertiary gear shaft 21 are movable through the interior of the tertiary gear fixing block 16 and the body 1 and are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the reel 15. The outer side of the first gear 18 is meshed with the outer side of the second gear 17. The outer side of the second gear 17 is meshed with the outer side of the tertiary gear shaft 21. Starting the motor body 11 can drive the first gear 18 to rotate through the second gear 17 to rotate the tertiary gear shaft 21. At this time, the tertiary gear shaft 21 drives the reel 15 to wind the line to pull the hinge point of the shank one 6 and the shank two 8 to store displacement energy.

[0032] The first-stage gear 18 and the wire reel 15 can generate pulling force which is converted into subsequent elastic force for bouncing. When in use, starting the motor body 11 can drive the first-stage gear 18 to rotate through the second-stage gear 17 to rotate the third-stage gear shaft 21, and then the third-stage gear shaft 21 will drive the wire reel 15 to pull the wire rope 13, and the pulling direction of the wire rope 13 is adjusted by the shaft 12 to convert the pulling force into elastic force. When the second-stage gear 17 rotates to the incomplete gear part, the wire reel 15 will loosen the wire rope 13 to release the restriction on the adjusting mechanism for bouncing. On the one hand, it can avoid the loss of useful work caused by the inconsistency between the pulling direction and the movement direction of the hind leg jumping mechanism, and on the other hand, it can prevent the invalid pulling force component from damaging the hind leg jumping mechanism, and it has good practicality.

[0033] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited, and conventional equipment can be used.

[0034] When in use, the battery and control chip 14 control the motor body 11 to start, and then the output shaft of the motor body 11 will drive the first-stage gear 18 to rotate, and then the first-stage gear 18 drives the second-stage gear 17 to rotate to rotate the third-stage gear shaft 21. At this time, the third-stage gear shaft 21 drives the reel 15 to wind the line to pull the hinge point of the calf 1 6 and the calf 2 8 to move and store energy, driving the spring 9 to stretch. At the same time, the calf 1 6 and the calf 2 8 will also drive the gear leg 1 5 and the gear leg 2 10 to move. When the motor body 11 rotates a certain number of times, the bionic frog reaches the required take-off angle. When the second-stage gear 17 rotates to the incomplete gear part, the reel 15 will loosen the rope 13 to release the tension on the calf 1 6 and the calf 2 8. At this time, the spring 9 contracts to release energy, driving the jumping mechanism to stretch and thus achieve jumping.
