Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement park stunt application technology, and in particular to a bionic skin stretching device. Background Technology

[0002] In current amusement park stunt applications, a common approach is to directly attach a skin to the surface of the model, using the pulling or squeezing of the skin to drive the model's movement and thus create stunt effects. However, this method presents some technical challenges during implementation and requires further design optimization.

[0003] First, the larger contact area between the skin and the shape increases friction, thus increasing the load on the drive system. This not only requires the drive unit to consume more energy but also accelerates mechanical wear and may affect the precision and stability of the movement. Second, because the flexibility of the skin does not perfectly match the structure of the shape, unnatural wrinkles are easily generated when the skin is compressed. These wrinkles not only affect the appearance of the skin but may even destroy the biomimetic effect, making the interaction between the skin and the shape appear unnatural and unsmooth.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new device to reduce friction, alleviate driving load, and optimize the movement of the skin to avoid unnatural wrinkles, thereby improving the biomimetic and display effects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a biomimetic epidermal stretching device.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: providing a biomimetic skin stretching device, comprising: a shaping support component, a filler, a skin, and a driving component, wherein the driving component is connected to the shaping support component, and the skin is fitted onto the outer surface of the shaping support component; the filler is filled between the skin and the shaping support component.

[0007] The further technical solution is as follows: the filler includes polyurethane foam material.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the filler and the shaping support component are fixed together by applying adhesive.

[0009] A further technical solution is as follows: the end face of the filler near the skin is recessed towards the shape support component, forming several grooves.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the driving component and the shaping support component are connected by fasteners.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the fastener includes a screw.

[0012] The further technical solution is as follows: the drive component includes an electric drive device.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the groove is a curved arc-shaped groove.

[0014] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: By setting up a shaping support component, a filler, a skin, and a driving component, the filler is placed between the skin and the shaping support component, reducing direct contact, thereby reducing friction and improving the smoothness of movement. The design of the filler can balance the tension between the support component and the skin, reducing unnatural wrinkles when the skin is stretched. The filler helps to evenly distribute pressure, optimizing the stress distribution during the skin's movement and avoiding uneven stretching. The driving component is connected to the shaping support component, precisely controlling the stretching and movement of the skin, reducing the burden on the driving system and improving efficiency. Through reasonable structural design, the movement of the entire device is more natural and smooth, and the biomimetic and display effects are significantly improved.

[0026] In current amusement park stunt applications, the skin 1 is directly attached to the surface of the model, driving its movement through pulling or squeezing to display stunt effects. However, this method has some technical problems. First, the large contact area between the skin 1 and the model increases friction, leading to a higher load on the drive system, increased energy consumption, and accelerated mechanical wear, affecting motion accuracy. Second, the flexibility of the skin 1 does not perfectly match the structure of the model, easily creating unnatural wrinkles and affecting the appearance. Ultimately, these problems may ruin the biomimetic effect, making the interaction between the skin 1 and the model less smooth.

[0027] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides a biomimetic skin 1 stretching device to reduce friction, reduce driving load, and optimize the movement effect of skin 1, so as to avoid unnatural wrinkles and thus improve the biomimetic effect and display effect.

[0028] Specifically, the device uses filler 2 to fill the space between the skin 1 and the shaping support component 3, reducing direct contact between the skin 1 and the support component and lowering friction. Filler 2 is fixed with adhesive to ensure its stability, and its design makes the surface of the skin 1 more uniform, avoiding unnatural wrinkles. The end face of filler 2 near the skin 1 is recessed towards the support component, forming a curved arc groove, which further reduces the friction of the skin 1 and improves the smoothness of movement. An electric drive device is used as the drive component 4 to precisely control the movement of the skin 1, reducing the load on the drive system and improving drive efficiency. The drive component 4 and the shaping support component 3 are connected by fasteners to ensure the stability of the device structure, thereby optimizing the interaction between the skin 1 and the shaping support component 3 and enhancing the biomimetic and display effects.

[0029] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a biomimetic skin 1 stretching device provided in an embodiment of the present utility model; the above-mentioned biomimetic skin 1 stretching device includes: a shaping support component 3, a skin 1 and a driving component 4, the driving component 4 is connected to the shaping support component 3, and the skin 1 is assembled on the outer surface of the shaping support component 3.

[0031] In one embodiment, the above-mentioned biomimetic skin 1 stretching device further includes a filler 2, and the filler 2 is filled between the skin 1 and the shaping support component 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the shaping support component 3 serves as the core skeleton of the device, responsible for supporting and forming the basic shape of the bionic skin 1, and simulating various movements through its connection with the drive component 4. Its design aims to prevent unnatural wrinkles or deformations from occurring when the bionic skin 1 is stretched.

[0033] Skin 1 is a layer of material covering the outer surface of the shaping support component 3, mimicking the skin of a living organism. This skin 1 needs to have a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity so that it can change with the movement of the shaping support component 3 while maintaining a smooth and wrinkle-free state.

[0034] The drive component 4 is connected to the shaping support component 3 via fasteners (such as screws) to provide a power source for the entire device, enabling the shaping support component 3 to perform predetermined actions, thereby simulating the movement process of a living organism.

[0035] The filler 2, located between the skin 1 and the shaping support component 3, is made of polyurethane foam. This material was chosen because it can reduce friction during movement while ensuring sufficient support, thereby reducing resistance and improving the realism of the biomimetic motion effect. The contact surface between the filler 2 and the shaping support component 3 is glued for fixation to ensure stability, while a curved groove is formed on the side near the skin 1. This reduces friction and controls the deformation direction of the filler 2 after compression, helping to maintain the stability and aesthetics of the overall structure.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned filler 2 includes polyurethane foam material. Specifically, a polyurethane foam material with specific properties is selected because it is lightweight and has good cushioning performance, making it particularly suitable for filling the space between the shaping support component 3 and the skin 1, effectively reducing the load pressure on the drive component 4.

[0037] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned filler 2 and the shaping support component 3 are fixed together by applying adhesive.

[0038] To ensure that the filler 2 will not shift or loosen due to prolonged use, the part of it in contact with the shaping support component 3 is fixed by applying adhesive.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned filler 2 is recessed at the end face near the skin 1 towards the shape support component 3, forming several grooves.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The grooves mentioned above are curved arc-shaped grooves.

[0041] The end face of the filler 2 near the skin 1 is designed with several curved arc-shaped grooves that are recessed towards the shaping support component 3. This not only reduces friction between the skin 1 and the filler 2, but also allows for precise control of the deformation path of the shaping filler 2 under pressure. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the performance of the bionic skin 1 stretching device can be further improved.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned drive component 4 and the shaping support component 3 are connected by fasteners.

[0043] In one embodiment, the fastener described above includes a screw.

[0044] In one embodiment, the drive component 4 described above includes an electric drive device.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3As shown, the aforementioned shaping support component 3 has an installation groove, the aforementioned filler 2 is placed in the position of the installation groove, and the driving component 4 drives the shape support component 3 to move so that the filler 2 moves towards the position of the installation groove, forming an arched shape that moves away from the installation groove, thereby opening up the skin 1 at the corresponding position.

[0046] The drive assembly 4 and the shaping support assembly 3 are securely connected together by fasteners (such as screws), ensuring a tight fit between the two when performing complex actions, thus improving the reliability and durability of the entire device.

[0047] In this embodiment, the device uses soft material to fill the joints to support the shape. This method can better simulate the changes in muscles during movement, making the biomimetic effect more realistic. The device utilizes a specific type of filler 2 and its special design (such as curved grooves) to reduce resistance while enhancing support, and these designs work together to improve the overall performance of the biomimetic epidermis 1 stretching device.

[0048] The bionic skin 1 stretching device of this embodiment not only effectively prevents unnatural phenomena from occurring during the stretching process of the bionic skin 1, but also, due to the use of optimized filling materials and technical solutions, its motion effect is significantly better than the traditional method of directly applying surface support to the skin 1. Furthermore, this device has lower maintenance costs and higher practicality, making it suitable for various application scenarios, such as bionic robots.

[0049] The aforementioned biomimetic skin stretching device comprises a shaping support component 3, a filler 2, a skin 1, and a drive component 4. The filler 2 is positioned between the skin 1 and the shaping support component 3, reducing direct contact, thereby lowering friction and improving the smoothness of movement. The design of the filler 2 balances the tension between the support component and the skin 1, reducing unnatural wrinkles during skin stretching. The filler 2 helps to evenly distribute pressure, optimizing stress distribution during skin movement and preventing uneven stretching. The drive component 4 is connected to the shaping support component 3, precisely controlling the stretching and movement of the skin 1, reducing the burden on the drive system and improving efficiency. Through a reasonable structural design, the movement of the entire device is more natural and smooth, significantly improving the biomimetic and display effects.

[0050] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
