[0052] Please refer toFigures 1 to 5 , in this embodiment, a bionic frog jumping device includes:

[0053] A housing 1, which is a hollow shell-like structure;

[0054] A transmission assembly, which is arranged inside the housing 1. The transmission assembly includes a power member 23, a driving wheel 21 and a driven wheel 22. The power member is fixed on the housing 1. The driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22 are rotatably connected inside the housing 1. The power member is in transmission connection with the driving wheel 21, and the driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22 are in meshing transmission;

[0055] Two front limb assemblies symmetrically arranged in front of the housing, which include a front limb rod 31 and a front foot 32. The upper end of the front limb rod 31 is hinged to the front end of the housing 1, and the lower end of the front limb rod 31 is hinged to the front foot 32;

[0056] Two hind limb assemblies symmetrically arranged behind the housing, which include a hind foot 41, a first rod 42, a second rod 43, a third rod 44, a fourth rod 45, a fifth rod 46, a sixth rod 47, a swing rod 48 and a joint rod 49. The joint rod 49 includes a first hinge point 491, a second hinge point and a third hinge point distributed in a triangle. The middle part of the swing rod 48 is in transmission connection with the central rotating shaft of the driven wheel 22, and a coil spring 5 is arranged between the swing rod 48 and the central rotating shaft of the driven wheel 22; The lower end of the first rod 42 is hinged to the hind foot 41, the upper end of the first rod 42 is hinged to the lower end of the second rod 43, the upper end of the second rod 43 is hinged to the middle part of the third rod 44, the middle part of the first rod 42 is hinged to the lower end of the fourth rod 45, the upper end of the fourth rod 45 is connected to the joint rod 49, the upper end of the third rod 44 is hinged to the housing 1, the second hinge point 492 of the joint rod is hinged to the lower end of the third rod 44, the third hinge point 493 of the joint rod is hinged to the lower end of the fifth rod 46, the upper end of the fifth rod 46 is hinged to one end of the swing rod 48, the lower end of the sixth rod 47 is hinged to the first hinge point 491 of the joint rod, and the upper end of the sixth rod 47 is hinged to the other end of the swing rod 48.

[0057] An opening is provided at the lower end of the housing 1. The driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22 can be installed into the housing 1 through the opening at the lower part of the housing 1. When the bionic frog jumping device jumps, the opening of the housing 1 faces the ground. Patterns can be drawn or pasted on the shell part of the housing 1 to make the bionic effect of the bionic frog jumping device better.

[0058] The driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22 are meshing gears. The number of teeth of the driving wheel 21 is less than that of the driven wheel 22. The tooth ratio of the driven wheel 22 to the driving wheel 21 is 30:20. After the power component transmits power to the driving wheel 21, the driving wheel 21 meshes with the driven wheel 22 to transmit the power to the driven wheel 22. The rotation speed can be reduced through the power transmission between the driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22.

[0059] The upper end and the lower end of the front limb rod 31 are respectively hinged to the housing 1. During jumping, the upper end and the lower end of the front limb rod 31 can rotate to adapt to uneven or sloping ground. In some embodiments, a coil spring is sleeved on the hinge connecting member between the front limb rod 31 and the housing 1, and a coil spring is also sleeved on the hinge connecting member between the front limb rod 31 and the front foot 32. In the initial state, the above two coil springs are not compressed. After jumping and landing, the above two coil springs may be compressed to better adapt to the ground.

[0060] The power component is selected as a motor. When the motor rotates forward, the coil spring arranged between the compression swing rod 48 and the central rotating shaft of the driven wheel 22 is compressed to store energy. Each rod body of the hind limb assembly rotates and approaches each other, causing the bionic frog bouncing device to squat down; after the motor rotates in reverse, the coil spring arranged between the compression swing rod 48 and the central rotating shaft of the driven wheel 22 is released, causing the hind limb assembly to stretch and open, and jump off the ground at the moment when the coil spring releases energy, completing the bouncing action.

[0061] Even when used in the wild, the front foot 32 and the hind foot 41 do not have relative movement, and are not easily wound in vines.

[0062] This bionic frog bouncing device realizes actions similar to those of a frog through the coordinated movement of the transmission component, the front limb component, and the hind limb component. When the power component moves, through the transmission of the transmission component, the driving wheel 21 and the driven wheel 22 rotate. At the same time, through the coordinated movement of the joint rod 49 and the swing rod 48 of the hind limb component, the hind foot 41 can provide the power and actions for bouncing, and the coil spring arranged between the swing rod 48 and the central rotating shaft of the driven wheel 22 can be compressed to store energy during the rotation of the transmission component, improving the bouncing performance of the bionic frog. The design and movement principle of the entire device imitate the bouncing actions of a frog and have certain bionic characteristics.

[0063] In some preferred embodiments, the second hinge joint 492 and the third hinge joint of the joint rod are of a clip structure. The lower end of the third rod body 44 is clamped at the second hinge joint, and the lower end of the fifth rod body 46 is clamped at the third hinge joint. Such a clip structure can provide a stable connection and allow the joint rod 49 to maintain a fixed position during movement. This design can increase the stability and reliability of the device, ensuring that the joint rod 49 can effectively transmit force and achieve the required movement during the movement process.

[0064] In some preferred embodiments, the number of the sixth rod bodies 47 is two. The two sixth rod bodies 47 are respectively connected to both sides of the joint rod 49, and the two sixth rod bodies 47 are respectively connected to both sides of the swing rod 48. This design can increase the stability and balance of the device and ensure that the joint rod 49 and the swing rod 48 can work in coordination during movement.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments, the end of the swing rod 48 connected to the fifth rod body 46 is a clip structure, and the upper end of the fifth rod body 46 is clamped at the clip structure of the swing rod 48. This clip structure can provide a stable connection and allow the swing rod 48 and the fifth rod body 46 to maintain a fixed position during movement. This structural design can increase the stability and reliability of the device and ensure that the swing rod 48 can effectively transmit force and achieve the required movement.

[0066] In some preferred embodiments, the hinge joint of the fourth rod body 45 and the first rod body 42 is close to the upper end of the first rod body 42. This structural design can be beneficial to the movement ratio and force transmission between the joint rod 49 and the swing rod 48.

[0067] In some preferred embodiments, the connection part of the second rod body 43 and the third rod body 44 is close to the lower end of the third rod body 44. Similarly, this structural design can affect the movement ratio and force transmission between the joint rod 49 and the swing rod 48.

[0068] In some preferred embodiments, the fourth rod body 45 and the joint rod 49 are of an integrally formed structure. This structural design can provide a more stable and reliable connection and ensure that the movement between the joint rod 49 and the fourth rod body 45 can be coordinated and force can be transmitted.

[0069] In some preferred embodiments, the fourth rod body 45 is a telescopic rod. A telescopic rod is usually made of a telescopic material and can be adjusted in length according to needs. This structural design can make the device have greater flexibility and adaptability to adapt to different movement requirements and environmental conditions.

[0070] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text of the specification and drawings of the present application, the patent protection scope of the present application cannot be limited thereby. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process substitution or modification made based on the essential concept of the present application, using the content recorded in the text of the specification and drawings of the present application, as well as any technical solutions directly or indirectly implementing the above embodiments in other related technical fields, etc., are all included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
