Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biomimetic model technology, and in particular to a biomimetic mechanical horse for display. Background Technology

[0002] A bionic mechanical horse is a robot designed to mimic the movement and behavior of a real horse. Combining biological and mechanical design principles, it achieves similar athletic performance. Bionic mechanical horses are widely used in entertainment, education, competitive sports, and assistive technology, such as in film performances, equestrian training, and rehabilitation for people with disabilities. Although some technological challenges remain, with continuous technological advancements, bionic mechanical horses have demonstrated enormous potential in multiple fields and are expected to play a significant role in even more application scenarios in the future.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN118789969A) that discloses a mechanical bionic horse model. It includes a support base, a horse body mechanism, a transmission assembly, and a drive mechanism. The horse body mechanism consists of two horizontally arranged sets, including a horse head, multiple fixed plates arranged side-by-side on the support base, a neck plate rotatably mounted on the fixed plates and rotatably connected to the horse head, a horse tail rotatably mounted at the rear end of the fixed plates, foreleg assemblies distributed at the front, and hind leg assemblies distributed at the rear. The center of gravity of the horse tail is located behind the rotatable connection between the horse tail and the fixed plates. The transmission assembly includes a main shaft rotatably mounted on the fixed plates, gear a coaxially mounted on the main shaft, gears b and c rotatably mounted on the fixed plates, a swing plate rotatably mounted on the fixed plates and rotatably connected to the horse head, an eccentric disk eccentrically mounted on gear c, and two wheels coaxially mounted at both ends of the main shaft. This invention can simulate more realistic horse running movements.

[0004] However, in actual use, the mechanical horse, being a fixed design, needs to have its position and orientation set before the exhibition, making it impossible to flexibly adjust according to changes in environment or needs, thus limiting the flexibility of space utilization. The audience experience may also be somewhat limited, as they cannot observe the details and movements of the mechanical horse from different angles. Finally, for long-term exhibitions or multiple performances, the fixed design lacks scalability, and moving and rearranging it may be inconvenient.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a bionic mechanical horse for display. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the limitations of existing technologies, which cannot flexibly adapt to changes in environment or needs, thus restricting the flexibility of space utilization. Furthermore, the audience experience may be somewhat limited, as it is impossible to comprehensively observe the details and movements of the mechanical horse from different angles. Therefore, this invention proposes a bionic mechanical horse for display.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A biomimetic mechanical horse for display includes a base, a support column fixedly connected to the top wall of the base, a lifting assembly provided inside the support column, a lifting sleeve provided at the lifting end of the lifting assembly, a rotating assembly provided outside the lifting sleeve, a rotating sleeve provided at the rotating end of the rotating assembly, a biomimetic model assembly provided outside the rotating sleeve, and a transmission rod provided at the biomimetic end of the biomimetic model assembly.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the lifting assembly includes a first motor, which is fixedly connected to a support column and a base. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, and a threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outer side of the middle section of the lead screw. The threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting sleeve.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the rotating assembly includes a support plate, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting sleeve. A second motor is fixedly connected to the top wall of the support plate. A pulley is provided at the output end of the second motor. The second motor is fixedly connected to the driving wheel of the pulley, and the driven wheel of the pulley is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bionic model component includes a skeleton, which is detachably connected to a rotating sleeve. A dual-head motor is fixedly connected to the middle section of the inner side of the skeleton, and transmission discs are fixedly connected to both sides of the dual-head motor. The transmission discs are rotatably connected to the transmission end of the transmission rod, and the skeleton is rotatably connected to multiple stress points in the transmission rod.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the height of the rotating sleeve is greater than the overall height of the biomimetic model component.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the rotating sleeve is connected to the frame by a spring clip.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a bionic mechanical horse for display, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The bionic mechanical horse for display described in this utility model uses a second motor and a pulley to drive a rotating sleeve to rotate outside the lifting sleeve, thereby automatically adjusting the lateral angle. This allows the bionic model components to present a more natural and vivid posture and movement during the display, enhancing the audience's viewing experience. Secondly, the ability to flexibly adjust the lateral angle improves the viewing angle, allowing viewers to appreciate the details and movements of the bionic model components from different angles, increasing the diversity and interactivity of the display. Furthermore, the automatic adjustment of the lateral angle can flexibly adapt to different display environments according to changes in the display space or requirements, without the need for rearrangement or repositioning, thus improving the flexibility and efficiency of the display.

[0016] 2. The bionic mechanical horse for display described in this utility model uses a first motor to drive a lifting sleeve and external structure through a lead screw and threaded sleeve to lift the entire structure. It can be flexibly adjusted according to different display needs and site conditions, improving the adaptability of the display. Adjusting the height can also improve the stability and safety of the mechanical horse. In particular, during the display process, adjusting the height can ensure that the mechanical horse maintains its balance under different performance actions or display postures, avoiding unnecessary tilting or falling.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0030] Reference Figure 1-10 A display biomimetic mechanical horse includes a base 1, with a support column 11 fixedly connected to the top wall of the base 1. The support column 11 is supported and fixed by the base 1. A lifting component is provided inside the support column 11, which limits the lifting component. A lifting sleeve 2 is provided at the lifting end of the lifting component, which drives the lifting sleeve 2 to rise and fall. A rotating component is provided outside the lifting sleeve 2, which supports the rotating component. A rotating sleeve 24 is provided at the rotating end of the rotating component, which drives the rotating sleeve 24 to rotate. A biomimetic model component is provided outside the rotating sleeve 24, which supports and fixes the biomimetic model component. A transmission rod 33 is provided at the biomimetic end of the biomimetic model component.

[0031] The lifting assembly includes a first motor 12, which is fixedly connected to a support column 11. The first motor 12 is fixedly fixed to the support column 11. The first motor 12 is fixedly connected to a base 1 and is hidden inside the base 1. The first motor 12 is also fixedly fixed to the base 1. A lead screw 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 12. The first motor 12 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate. A threaded sleeve 14 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the middle section of the lead screw 13. The threaded sleeve 14 is driven to move up and down inside the lead screw 13. The threaded sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting sleeve 2. The threaded sleeve 14 fixes the lifting sleeve 2, thereby driving the lifting sleeve 2 and the threaded sleeve 14 to move up and down synchronously.

[0032] The rotating assembly includes a support plate 21, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting sleeve 2. The lifting sleeve 2 fixes the support plate 21. A second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the support plate 21, which supports and fixes the second motor 22. A pulley 23 is provided at the output end of the second motor 22. The second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the driving pulley in the pulley 23. The driven pulley in the pulley 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 24. The output end of the second motor 22 and the rotating sleeve 24 are connected through the pulley 23, so that the second motor 22 drives the rotating sleeve 24 to rotate through the pulley 23.

[0033] The biomimetic model component includes a skeleton 3, which is detachably connected to a rotating sleeve 24. The rotating sleeve 24 supports and fixes the skeleton 3. A dual-head motor 31 is fixedly connected to the middle section of the inner side of the skeleton 3. The dual-head motor 31 is fixedly fixed to the skeleton 3. A transmission disc 32 is fixedly connected to both sides of the dual-head motor 31. The dual-head motor 31 drives the transmission discs 32 on both sides to rotate simultaneously. The transmission discs 32 are rotatably connected to the transmission end of the transmission rod 33. The rotation of the transmission discs 32 drives the transmission rod 33. The skeleton 3 is rotatably connected to multiple stress points in the transmission rod 33. The skeleton 3 supports and limits the stress points in the transmission rod 33 that do not need to move but only need to rotate.

[0034] The height of the rotating sleeve 24 is greater than the overall height of the bionic model component. By setting the height of the rotating sleeve 24 to be higher than the overall height of the bionic model component, the bionic model component will not be affected after the rotating sleeve 24 is lowered.

[0035] The rotating sleeve 24 is connected to the skeleton 3 by a spring clip. The skeleton 3 and the rotating sleeve 24 are connected by the spring clip (refer to the spring buckle, which is the prior art and will not be described). This allows the bionic model components to be quickly disassembled when needed.

[0036] Specifically, when using the bionic mechanical horse in this exhibition: the base 1, lifting components, and rotating components are moved into the exhibition hall. Then, the bionic model component is connected to the rotating sleeve 24 via spring clips. During the exhibition, the first motor 12 drives the threaded sleeve 14 to rise and fall as needed via the lead screw 13. Simultaneously, the threaded sleeve 14 drives the lifting sleeve 2 to rise and fall, thereby raising and lowering the outer structure as a whole through the lifting sleeve 2. This allows for overall height adjustment of the bionic model component. At the same time, the second motor 22 drives the pulley 23 to rotate, and the pulley 23 transmits power to rotate the rotating sleeve 24 outside the lifting sleeve 2, thereby adjusting the lateral angle of the bionic model component. This allows the bionic model component to face different angles for display. The bionic model component itself is driven by a dual-head motor 31, which drives the transmission disc 32 to rotate around the stress point in the transmission disc 32 connected to the frame 3, thus demonstrating its movement.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
