[0025] The clockwise and counterclockwise directions mentioned herein are both with reference to the perspective in Figure 3 as the reference benchmark.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present utility model, a bionic mechanical frog is provided, which includes a frog front body assembly and a frog rear body assembly that are hinged to each other. A bouncing assembly is installed between the frog front body assembly and the frog rear body assembly. The bouncing assembly includes an electromagnet 5, a movable rod 6 and an elastic member. The elastic member is a spring 7. The electromagnet 5 is fixedly installed on the frog front body assembly. A through hole is provided in the electromagnet 5. The movable rod 6 is arranged obliquely up and down and penetrates through the through hole of the electromagnet 5. The bottom end of the movable rod 6 is hinged to the frog rear body assembly. The elastic member is sleeved outside the movable rod 6 between the electromagnet 5 and the frog rear body assembly. When the electromagnet 5 is energized, it generates an electromagnetic force to drive the frog front body assembly to rotate downward, so that the frog front body assembly and the frog rear body assembly approach and fold together. The elastic member is used to drive the frog front body assembly to rotate upward and reset, so that the frog front body assembly and the frog rear body assembly move away from each other and open up.

[0027] Specifically, the frog front body assembly includes a frog body main body 1 and two front palms 2 hinged to the front end of the frog body main body 1. There are two relatively arranged frog rear body assemblies. The frog rear body assembly includes a frog leg 3 and a rear palm 4 hinged to the bottom end of the frog leg 3. Connecting frames 8 are respectively formed at both ends of the rear side of the frog body main body 1, and the two connecting frames 8 are respectively hinged to the top ends of the two frog legs 3.

[0028] Specifically, there are two bouncing assemblies, and the bottom end of the movable rod 6 is hinged to the middle of the frog leg 3.

[0029] The bionic mechanical frog of the present utility model is powered by a battery. After being energized, the electromagnet 5 instantaneously generates an electromagnetic force. Under the action of the electromagnetic force, the movable rod 6 moves obliquely upward relative to the frog body main body 1, that is, the frog front body assembly rotates counterclockwise downward relative to the frog rear body assembly, so that the frog front body assembly and the frog rear body assembly approach and fold together. At this time, the spring 7 is compressed and stores energy. After the frog front body assembly rotates counterclockwise downward to a certain distance, the electromagnetic force and the elastic force of the spring 7 are balanced, and the frog front body assembly stops moving relative to the frog rear body assembly and remains stationary under the action of the electromagnetic force. The bionic mechanical frog is in a low-lying state; after power-off, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet 5 instantaneously disappears. Under the action of the elastic force of the spring 7, the movable rod 6 moves obliquely downward relative to the frog body main body 1, that is, the frog front body assembly rotates clockwise upward relative to the frog rear body assembly to reset, so that the frog front body assembly and the frog rear body assembly move away from each other and open up. The bionic mechanical frog is in a bouncing state. After that, the above process is repeated to realize the fast and continuous jumping movement of the bionic mechanical frog. The bouncing assembly of this technical solution takes the electromagnet 5, the movable rod 6 and the elastic member as the core, has a simple structure and fewer components, so that the energy consumption in the process of completing a single jumping action is smaller and the time taken is shorter, thus ensuring that the bionic mechanical frog can jump quickly and continuously.

[0030] In addition, the bionic mechanical frog utilizes wireless remote control technology, enabling long-distance operation. By selecting different electromagnets, the magnitude of the electromagnetic force can be changed, thereby altering the bouncing strength and distance of the bionic mechanical frog. Adjusting the dimensions and assembly directions of each component can change the jumping direction of the frog to suit different usage scenarios and requirements. It can be used in fields such as rescue missions, exploration robots, and entertainment games, bringing more fun and practicality to people.

[0031] In this embodiment, a circular baffle 9 is fixed at one end of the movable rod 6 close to the frog leg 3. The two ends of the spring 7 respectively abut between the electromagnet 5 and the circular baffle 9, preventing the spring 7 from interfering with the frog leg 3 and ensuring the stable and smooth bouncing movement.

[0032] In this embodiment, receiving cavity channels 10 that are inclined and penetrate vertically are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the frog body main body 1. The receiving cavity channels 10 are gradually inclined downward from front to back. A U-shaped positioning frame member 11 is fixedly installed in the receiving cavity channels 10, and the electromagnet 5 is fixed inside the positioning frame member 11, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the bouncing assembly.

[0033] In this embodiment, a relief notch 12 is formed at the front end of the frog body main body 1 corresponding to the receiving cavity channel 10, for providing activity relief for the movable rod 6 to prevent obstruction and interference.

[0034] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped rod 13 extends backward and downward from the front end of the frog body main body 1. The front palm 2 is hinged to the bottom of the arc-shaped rod 13. The front palm 2 includes a hinged portion hinged to the bottom of the arc-shaped rod 13 and a columnar body disposed on the lower side of the hinged portion. The bottom end of the columnar body is hemispherical, and the columnar body is used for forming a support cooperation with the ground. This setting enables the front palm 2 not to require a long length, ensuring the bouncing movement and support stability.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the rear palm 4 is an arc-shaped surface that is low in the middle and high at the front and rear ends, ensuring the support stability of the bionic mechanical frog during jumping movement.

[0036] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes made to the present invention in terms of form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
