[0036] Specifically, when the robot body 1 is on land, the extension mechanism 3 retracts into the rolling mechanism 2, the rolling mechanism 2 rotates, and thus drives the robot body 1 to walk on the land.
[0037] Specifically, when the robot body 1 is in the water, the extension mechanism 3 extends the rolling mechanism 2, and the rolling mechanism 2 drives the extension mechanism 3 to rotate, thereby driving the robot body 1 to swim on the water surface.
[0038] In at least one embodiment, by setting a rolling mechanism 2 and an extension mechanism 3 on the robot body 1, the extension mechanism 3 completes the robot body 1’s walking function on land when it retracts into the rolling mechanism 2, and the extension mechanism 3 completes the robot body 1’s propulsion function in water when it extends out of the rolling mechanism 2. That is, the combination of the rolling mechanism 2 and the extension mechanism 3 can save space on the one hand, and on the other hand, only the rolling mechanism 2 needs to be powered to complete the walking on land or the extension mechanism 3, which can simplify the overall structure and reduce costs.
[0039] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The rolling mechanism 2 includes at least four rolling units; each rolling unit is movably connected to the robot body 1 and electrically connected to a control board; the control board is configured to control the rotation of each rolling unit.
[0040] Specifically, when the rolling unit works alone, it enables the robot body 1 to walk on land.
[0041] Specifically, when the rolling unit works in conjunction with the extension mechanism 3, it enables the robot body 1 to swim on the water surface.
[0042] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 The rolling unit includes a support frame 21, a rolling element 22, and a first rotating element 23. The support frame 21 is connected to the robot body 1, the rolling element 22 is hinged to the support frame 21, the first rotating element 23 is movably connected to the rolling element 22, and the first rotating element 23 is electrically connected to the control board. The control board is configured to drive the first rotating element 23 to rotate the rolling element 22.
[0043] Specifically, the support frame 21 mainly serves the functions of support and installation.
[0044] Specifically, the rolling element 22 is hinged to the support frame 21, so that the rolling element 22 can rotate. At the same time, the rolling element 22 is rotatably connected to the first rotating element 23, so that the first rotating element 23 can drive the rolling element 22 to rotate.
[0045] Specifically, the rolling element 22 can be either spherical or wheel-shaped.
[0046] Specifically, the first rotating component 23 can be a rotating motor.
[0047] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The support frame 21 is Y-shaped, and the rolling element 22 is hinged to the two arms 211 of the support frame 21.
[0048] Specifically, the support frame 21 is set in a Y shape, which can limit the two sides of the rolling element 22 and improve the connection strength between the rolling element 22 and the support frame 21.
[0049] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The rolling element 22 has an annular groove 221, and the extension mechanism 3 is movably connected to the annular groove 221; the control plate is configured to control the extension mechanism 3 to retract into the annular groove 221, or the control plate is configured to control the extension mechanism 3 to extend out of the annular groove 221.
[0050] Specifically, when the extension mechanism 3 retracts into the annular groove 221, the rolling element 22 is in direct contact with the ground, thereby enabling the rolling element 22 to drive the robot body 1 to walk on land.
[0051] Specifically, the extension mechanism 3 extends out of the annular groove 221, and the rolling element 22 cooperates with the extension mechanism 3 to form a paddle shape.

[0053] Specifically, the extension unit can be hidden. When the extension unit is retracted into the annular groove 221, the rolling element 22 acts on the ground alone. When the extension unit extends out of the annular groove 221, the rolling element 22 acts on the water surface in conjunction with the extension unit.
[0054] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 The extension unit includes at least two arc-shaped plates 31 and at least two second rotating members 32; each of the arc-shaped plates is arranged sequentially around the annular groove 221, and the arc-shaped plates 31 are hinged to the annular groove 221; the second rotating members 32 are movably connected to the arc-shaped plates 31 and are electrically connected to a control board; the control board is configured to drive the second rotating members 32 to rotate the arc-shaped plates 31 so that the arc-shaped plates 31 retract into the annular groove 221 or extend out of the annular groove 221.
[0055] Specifically, the curvature of the arc plate 31 is approximately the same as the curvature of the annular groove 221, which makes it easier for the arc plate 31 to be hidden inside the annular groove 221.
[0056] Specifically, the arc-shaped plate 31 can be hidden in the annular groove 221 under the action of the second rotating member 32, so that the rolling member 22 can contact the ground.
[0057] Specifically, the arc-shaped plate 31 can extend out of the annular groove 221 under the drive of the second rotating member 32, so that the arc-shaped plate 31 and the rolling member 22 form a propeller blade, thereby propelling the robot body in water.
[0058] Specifically, the second rotating component 32 can be a rotating motor.
[0059] In at least one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The robot body is equipped with a floating component 4 to make the robot body float on the water surface.

[0063] In summary, this utility model, by setting a rolling mechanism and an extension mechanism on the robot body, and having the extension mechanism retract into the rolling mechanism to enable the robot body to walk on land, and the extension mechanism extending out of the rolling mechanism to enable the robot body to propel itself in water, the combination of the rolling mechanism and the extension mechanism can save space on the one hand, and on the other hand, only the rolling mechanism needs to be powered to complete the land walking or extension mechanism, which can simplify the overall structure and reduce costs.
[0064] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0065] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein.

Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0067] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.
