[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same components. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a mechanical butterfly, including a base 1, a frame 2, a wing skeleton 3, a wing steel plate 4, a linkage mechanism 5, a tripod assembly 6, and a drive motor 7. The drive motor 7 and the frame 2 are mounted on the base 1. The tripod assembly 6 is rotatably connected to the frame 2, with one corner of the tripod assembly 6 rotatably connected to the frame 2. The output end of the drive motor 7 is connected to the tripod assembly 6. The linkage mechanism 5 is mounted on the tripod assembly 6. Preferably, the linkage mechanism 5 is mounted on the top of the tripod assembly 6. The wing skeleton 3 includes two round tubes 301 and at least two rectangular tubes 302 connecting the two round tubes 301. The at least two rectangular tubes 302 are mounted on the top of the frame 2. Several connectors 8 are rotatably connected to each round tube 301. The portion of the connectors 8 near the outer side of the frame 2 is fixedly connected to the wing steel plate 4. One of the connectors 8 on each round tube 301 near the inner side of the frame 2 is connected to the linkage mechanism 5.
[0022] When this utility model is in use, the operator starts the drive motor 7, the output end of the drive motor 7 extends and retracts, causing the tripod assembly 6 to swing, which in turn causes the linkage mechanism 5 to move up and down. The linkage mechanism 5 causes the connecting piece 8 to rotate around the round tube 301, and finally causes the wing steel plate 4 to swing.
[0023] Furthermore, the tripod assembly 6 includes a first tripod 601, a second tripod 602, a first connecting pipe 603, a second connecting pipe 604, and a third connecting pipe 605. The first tripod 601 and the second tripod 602 are rotatably connected to the first connecting pipe 603 near one corner of the base 1. The first connecting pipe 603 is also connected to the output end of the drive motor 7. The first tripod 601 and the second tripod 602 are connected to the second wing steel plate 4 near one corner of the first tripod 601 and the second tripod 602 through the second connecting pipe 604. The linkage mechanism 5 is disposed on the second connecting pipe 604. The remaining corner of the first tripod 601 and the second tripod 602 is rotatably connected to the third connecting pipe 605. The third connecting pipe 605 is fixedly disposed on the frame 2.
[0024] After the drive motor 7 starts, since the first connecting pipe 603 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 7, the output end of the drive motor 7 extends and retracts, pushing the first connecting pipe 603 to move back and forth, thereby driving the first tripod 601 and the second tripod 602 to rotate around the third connecting pipe 605, and finally driving the second connecting pipe 604 to move up and down. The second connecting pipe 604 drives the linkage mechanism 5 to move up and down, and the connecting mechanism drives the connecting piece 8 to rotate around the round tube 301, so that the wing steel plate 4 makes a flapping effect.
[0025] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism 5 includes two linkage assemblies, each including a first clamp 501, a connecting rod 502, and a second clamp 503. The first clamp 501 is fixedly mounted on the second connecting tube 604. One end of the connecting rod 502 is rotatably connected to the first clamp 501, and the other end of the connecting rod 502 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second clamp 503. The second clamp 503 is rotatably connected to the connector 8.
[0026] When the second connecting tube 604 moves up and down, it will drive the first clamp 501 to move up and down, and through the connecting rod 502, it will drive the second clamp 503 to move up and down, thereby driving the connector 8 to rotate around the round tube 301.
[0027] Meanwhile, flanges 10 are fitted at both ends of the third connecting pipe 605, and the flanges 10 are fixedly connected to the frame 2.

[0030] Example 3
[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment is developed based on the above embodiment in order to solve the stability of the wing skeleton 3. Specifically, there are three rectangular tubes 302, which are located at both ends and the middle of the circular tube 301, respectively. This arrangement ensures a stable connection between the circular tubes 301.
[0032] Example 4
[0033] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment is developed based on the above embodiment in order to solve the installation stability of the wing steel plate 4. Specifically, there are four connectors 8. Through the four connectors 8, the wing steel plate 4 can be stably installed on the round tube 301.
[0034] Example 5
[0035] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment is based on the above embodiment. Specifically, the wing steel plate 4 is also provided with mounting holes 11. The mounting holes 11 on the wing steel plate 4 can also be used to install stainless steel rectangular tubes. Steel wire ropes can be tied to the stainless steel rectangular tubes, and the outer layer structure of the butterfly can be put on the steel wire ropes.
[0036] Example 6
[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this embodiment is developed based on the above embodiment in order to solve the problem of moving the entire device. Specifically, the base 1 is also provided with a forklift port 12 for forklifts to insert, so that the entire device can be transported.
