Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical structure technology for cultural tourism and entertainment, and in particular to an elongated structure for large-scale bionic animals used in cultural tourism. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of the cultural tourism industry, tourists' demands for tourism experiences are increasing. Traditional static bionic animals can no longer meet tourists' needs for novelty and interactive experiences. Traditional dynamic bionic animals are small in size, making it difficult to achieve gigantism, and their performance forms are monotonous, failing to provide tourists with the visually stunning and explosive interactive experience they crave. Among bionic animals, elephants are enormous, and a gigantic mecha elephant would far exceed the size and weight of a real elephant, making its structural design extremely challenging. The elephant's trunk has many joints and complex movements, requiring not only swaying up, down, left, and right, but also rolling in different directions within space, demanding a high degree of agility. Domestic research on performance-type giant bionic elephants is limited. Similar bionic structures mainly focus on the neck and tail structures of bionic animals, but these often use single-degree-of-freedom simulations. This type of structure is simple, with limited movement and very low degrees of freedom during motion, resulting in poor bionic effects and a lack of realism, making it unsuitable for use with a bionic elephant trunk. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bionic mechanical structure suitable for an elephant trunk. Utility Model Content

[0048] Each joint 2 achieves pitch motion by driving the pitch element 22 to swing up and down via the pitch actuator 24, and the yaw motion by driving the yaw element 21 to swing left and right via the yaw actuator 23. The next joint 2 and subsequent joints 2 can swing up, down, left and right based on the movement of the previous joint 2, thereby achieving a combination of various postures and completing multi-degree-of-freedom motion simulation.
[0049] Specifically, both the yaw actuator 23 and the pitch actuator 24 are driven by fluid cylinders to achieve efficient and stable motion control.
[0050] Preferably, the pitch component 22 of the motion joint 2 includes a pitch body 221, a first pitch hinge component 222, a first deflection hinge component 223, a first pitch drive hinge component 224, and a first deflection drive hinge component 225; the first pitch hinge component 222 is fixedly disposed at the end of the pitch body 221 away from the deflection component 21, and the first deflection hinge component 223 is fixedly disposed at the end of the pitch body 221 facing the deflection component 21; the first pitch drive hinge component 224 and the first deflection drive hinge component 225 are both fixedly disposed on the side of the pitch body 221;

One end of the pitch actuator 24 of the first section of the motion joint 2 is hinged to the first pitch drive hinge component 224 of this section, and the other end is hinged to the drive ear plate 12 of the head steel structure 1, so as to realize the lifting and lowering of the nose main steel structure component relative to the head steel structure 1.
[0053] For the motion joints 2 in sections 2 to 6, the first pitch hinge member 222 is hinged to the second pitch hinge member 212 of the previous section, the first deflection hinge member 223 is hinged to the second deflection hinge member 213 of this section, one end of the deflection actuator 23 is hinged to the first deflection drive hinge member 225 of this section and the other end is hinged to the second deflection drive hinge member 215 of this section, and one end of the pitch actuator 24 is hinged to the first pitch drive hinge member 224 of this section and the other end is hinged to the second deflection drive hinge member 215 of the previous section.
[0054] The structure of the pitching component 22 and the deflection component 21 in this application can ensure the overall structural strength and also ensure a large range of rotation between the relatively moving parts, thereby making the whole structure more flexible and realizing complex actions such as swinging up and down, left and right, rolling up and down, and rolling diagonally upward and downward.
[0055] Preferably, each pitch member 22 includes two opposing first pitch hinge members 222 and two opposing first deflection hinge members 223, wherein the line connecting the rotation axes of the two first pitch hinge members 222 and the line connecting the rotation axes of the two first deflection hinge members 223 are perpendicular to each other.
[0056] Each deflector 21 includes two opposing second pitch hinge members 212 and two opposing second deflection hinge members 213, wherein the line connecting the rotation axes of the two second pitch hinge members 212 and the line connecting the rotation axes of the two second deflection hinge members 213 are perpendicular to each other.
[0057] By providing two of each of the first pitch hinge component 222, the first deflection hinge component 223, the second pitch hinge component 212, and the second deflection hinge component 213, the structural reliability and stability can be improved, and the impact on the lugs and pins at the hinge points can be reduced.
[0058] Specifically, the pitch lug 11, drive lug 12, first deflection hinge 223, first pitch drive hinge 224, first deflection drive hinge 225, second pitch hinge 212, second pitch drive hinge 214, and second deflection drive hinge 215 all adopt a double lug structure.

This layout allows the yaw actuator 23 and pitch actuator 24 to extend and retract independently without interfering with each other. Furthermore, when the yaw actuator 23 and pitch actuator 24 work together, the joints 2 can be twisted without the yaw actuator 23 and pitch actuator 24 interfering with each other and affecting the range of motion, thus achieving more flexible upward and downward rolling motion.

The elephant trunk structure is long and heavy, and its moment of inertia is also large when swinging. For some agile movements requiring rapid starts and stops, it generates large acceleration and angular acceleration, resulting in significant impact on the hinge points. However, this arrangement avoids interference between the two deflection actuators 23 and the two pitch actuators 24 of adjacent motion joints 2, reduces the cantilever length of the deflection member 21 relative to the rotation point of the pitch member 22 of the motion joint 2, and ensures the range of rotational motion, thereby reducing the structural weight.

[0061] The deflection actuator 23 of the first motion joint 2 is located to the right of the pitch member 22 and the deflection member 21 of this section; the deflection actuator 23 of the second motion joint 2 is located to the left of the pitch member 22 and the deflection member 21 of this section; the deflection actuator 23 of the third motion joint 2 is located to the right of the pitch member 22 and the deflection member 21 of this section; the deflection actuator 23 of the fourth motion joint 2 is located to the left of the pitch member 22 and the deflection member 21 of this section; the deflection actuator 23 of the fifth motion joint 2 is located to the right of the pitch member 22 and the deflection member 21 of this section; and the deflection actuator 23 of the sixth motion joint 2 is located to the left of the pitch member 22 and the deflection member 21 of this section.

[0069] The second pitch drive hinge member 214 is inclined toward the pitch member 22 of this section, and the second yaw drive hinge member 215 is inclined away from the pitch member 22 of this section; thereby ensuring the travel of the pitch driver 24 and the yaw driver 23 and avoiding interference between the pitch member 22 and the yaw member 21 after rotation.

The sensor mounting base 54 rotates synchronously with the pitch member 22. The angle sensor 53 changes its resistance value with the rotation, giving an analog output signal to detect the change in angle value. Similarly, the oscillation of the deflection member 21 relative to the pitch member 22 is detected by the angle sensor 53 installed on the lower side of the second deflection hinge member 213. The sensor mounting base 54 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the deflection component 21 by bolts. The angle sensor 53 is fixedly mounted on the sensor mounting base 54 by bolts.
