[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a bionic frog jumping robot with a simple structure, convenient operation, which drives the spring to store and release energy through a cam mechanism to complete jumping.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0005] A frog - like jumping robot is composed of a head 1, a cam 2, a push rod 3, a slideway 4, a guide wheel 5, a front - leg fixing bracket 6, a double - headed motor 7, a front foot 8, front legs 9, a thin rope 10, a main body plate 11, a rear - leg fixing bracket 12, a rear thigh 13, a rear calf 14, a rear foot 15, and a torsion spring 16. It is characterized in that: the head 1 is in a "C" shape, with two spheres at the upper end and two through - holes at the lower end, and is fixedly connected to the main body plate 11 through bolts; the front side of the slideway 4 is fixed to the main body plate 11 and the head 1 through bolts, and the rear side of the slideway 4 is fixed to the main body plate 11 and the front - leg fixing bracket 6 through bolts. The slideway 4 is in an "L" shape, and a square groove is opened in the standing part. The push rod 3 can move in the square groove of the slideway 4, and there is a through - hole at each end of the push rod 3. The guide wheel 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the main body plate 11. The double - headed motor 7 is fixed to the main body plate 11 by bundling. There are two cams 2, which are connected to the two end shafts of the double - headed motor 7 through a profile. The front legs 9 are fixedly connected to the front - leg fixing bracket 6 through bolts. There is a boss in the middle of the front foot 8, and it is fixed to the front legs 9 through bolts. The rear - leg fixing bracket 12 is fixed to the main body plate 11 through bolts. A groove is opened at the rear end of the rear - leg fixing bracket 12, and there is a through - hole on the side of the groove. "6" - shaped holes are opened at both ends of the rear thigh 13, and a "6" - shaped hole is opened at the upper end of the rear calf 14. There are 2 torsion springs 16 on each of the left and right sides of the main body plate 11, which are symmetrically distributed with respect to the main body plate 11. One end of each torsion spring 16 is installed in the groove of the rear - leg fixing bracket 12 and the "6" - shaped hole of the rear thigh 13 respectively, and is connected through a pin shaft and a split pin. The two ends of the other torsion spring 16 are installed in the "6" - shaped hole at the lower end of the rear thigh 13 and the "6" - shaped hole at the upper end of the rear calf 14 respectively, and are connected through a pin shaft and a split pin. There is a boss in the middle of the rear foot 15, and it is in clearance fit with the rear calf 14 through bolts. One end of the thin rope 10 is connected to the through - hole of the push rod 3, and the other end bypasses the guide wheel 5 and is connected to the split pin at the lower end of the rear thigh 13.
[0006] The slideway 4, the guide wheel 5, the front - leg fixing bracket 6, the front foot 8, the front legs 9, the thin rope 10, the rear - leg fixing bracket 12, the rear thigh 13, the rear calf 14, and the rear foot 15 each have two groups, which are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the main body plate 11.
[0007] The technical effect of the present utility model is that: the robot is designed to imitate a frog in appearance, and the movement mode of its leg structure also imitates the jumping of a frog. The driving force output of the motor is transmitted to the thin rope through a cam structure. The thin rope drives the legs to contract, thereby compressing the torsion spring. When the cam disengages from the push rod, the force on the torsion spring is released to complete the jump. This device does not require manual reset, and continuous jumps can be achieved by turning the motor on and off. The overall transmission mechanism has a simple structure and is convenient for installation and operation. Description of the Drawings
