AI Technical Summary
When used, the existing snake bone modules have poor swing smoothness due to the influence of the arc hinges on multiple snake bone joints, and usually can only switch between one active state and another stationary state.
A snake bone module is designed in which multiple snake bone joints are connected head-to-tail along the length of the module, and two adjacent snake bone joints are mutually active through spherical connectors and connecting ropes. The spherical joint is movably embedded in the spherical joint of the snake bone joint, and the connecting rope passes through the snake bone joint and the spherical joint to pull the snake bone joint so that they are simultaneously moved relative to the spherical joint.
Through this design, the swing smoothness of the snake bone joint of the snake bone module is improved, so that multiple snake bone joints can move with respect to the spherical connector at the same time, enhancing the flexibility and use effect of the module.
