the deformable limb mechanism comprises a right front limb (in figure 1, a fifth rod A5 to an eighth rod A8 are movably connected through a ninth axis B9 to a twelfth axis B12 in sequence, and the twelfth axis B12 is connected with a walking component C1);
a right hind limb (in fig. 1, a ninth rod A9 to a twelfth rod a12 are movably connected through a thirteenth shaft B13 to a sixteenth shaft B16 in sequence, and the sixteenth shaft B16 is connected with a walking component C2);
a left hind limb (a thirteenth rod A13 to a sixteenth rod A16 are movably connected through a seventeenth shaft B17 to a twentieth shaft B20 in turn in fig. 1, and the twentieth shaft B20 is connected with a walking component C3);
a left front limb part (a seventeenth rod A17 to a twentieth rod A20 in the figure 1 are movably connected through a twenty-first shaft B21 to a twenty-fourth shaft B24 in sequence, and a twelfth shaft B12 is connected with a walking component C4).
As shown in fig. 2, taking the traveling member C4 as an example, the traveling member includes a cover plate C41 (corresponding to C11, C21, and C31 in C1, C2, and C3), a one-way bearing C42 (corresponding to C12, C22, and C32 in C1, C2, and C3), and a tire C43 (corresponding to C13, C23, and C33 in C1, C2, and C3), the one-way bearing C42 is mounted below the cover plate C41, and the one-way bearing C42 is a bearing that supports rotation in only one direction.
When the power component on the main body mechanism works, the form of the main body mechanism is driven to change (the included angle between four sides changes), and then the limb mechanism is driven to deform and move, and the specific movement process of the invention is shown in fig. 3-6 and comprises the following operation states:
s0: as shown in figure 4, the power part of the unmanned vehicle does not work, the unmanned vehicle does not move, and the included angle alpha between the four rod structures A1-A4 of the main body mechanism 1 And alpha 2 Approximately 90 degrees, the included angles beta between the rod pieces A5, A9, A13 and A17 of the limb mechanism and the rods A1 to A4 connected with the main mechanism are approximately 90 degrees, and S0 is in an initial state.
S1: as shown in FIG. 5, the power unit operates to drive the rods A1-A4 of the main body mechanism, and the rods of the main body mechanism rotate around the connecting shafts B1-B4 to make alpha 1 Decrease of alpha 2 And increasing the included angle beta between the rods A5, A9, A13 and A17 of the limb mechanism and the rods A1 to A4 connected with the main mechanism through mechanical restraint. At the moment, the left front limb and the right front limb extend forwards, the walking parts C4 and C1 at the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb move forwards, and the bearings C42 and C12 and the corresponding wheel rims and tires C43 and C13 in the walking parts rotate forwards under the combined action of ground friction and the forward extension of the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb; the left hind limb and the right hind limb extend backwards, the walking parts C3 and C2 at the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb have the tendency of moving backwards, the bearings C32 and C22 and the corresponding wheel rims and tires C33 and C23 in the walking parts have the tendency of rotating backwards under the combined action of ground friction and the backward extension of the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb, and the left hind limb and the right hind limb cannot extend backwards because the one-way bearing does not allow the backward rotation, and only can reversely push other parts of the whole unmanned vehicle to move forwards, so that the whole vehicle body moves forwards. In this step, due to the geometrical constraints, the limbs are in a relaxed and extended state, which is represented by the fact that the included angle γ between A6 and A7 (and a10 and a11, a14 and a15, and a18 and a 19) in the limbs is increased. S1 is in a first jump state, i.e., in a vertically extended state.
S2: the geometry of the machine is the same as that of S1, and as the vehicle body in S1 moves forwards, C12, C22, C32 and C42 all rotate forwards under the action of inertia, and the whole unmanned vehicle slides forwards under the action of inertia. And S2 is a first-time coasting state.
S3: as shown in FIG. 6, the power unit works to drive the rod A1E of the main body mechanismA4, the rod of the main body mechanism rotates around the connecting shafts B1-B4 to enable alpha 1 Increase, alpha 2 And reducing an included angle beta between the rod pieces A5, A9, A13 and A17 of the limb mechanism and the rods A1 to A4 connected with the main body mechanism through mechanical constraint. At the moment, the left hind limb and the right hind limb extend forwards, the walking parts C3 and C2 at the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb move forwards, and the bearings C32 and C22 and the corresponding wheel rims and tires C33 and C23 in the walking parts rotate forwards under the combined action of ground friction and the forward extension of the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb; the left front limb and the right front limb extend backwards, the walking parts C4 and C1 at the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb have the tendency of moving backwards, the bearings C42 and C12 and the corresponding wheel rims and tires C43 and C13 in the walking parts have the tendency of rotating backwards under the combined action of ground friction and the backward extension of the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb, and the left front limb and the right front limb cannot extend backwards because the unidirectional bearings cannot allow the backward rotation, and only the other parts of the whole unmanned vehicle can be pulled backwards to move forwards, so that the whole vehicle body moves forwards. In this step, due to the geometrical constraints, the limbs are in a relaxed and extended state, which is represented by the decrease of the angle γ between A6 and A7 (and a10 and a11, a14 and a15, a18 and a 19) in the limbs. S3 is the second jump state, i.e. the laterally extended state.
S4: the geometry of the machine is the same as that of S3, and as the vehicle body in S3 moves forwards, C12, C22, C32 and C42 all rotate forwards under the action of inertia, and the whole unmanned vehicle slides forwards under the action of inertia. And S4 is a first-time coasting state, after the S4 state is finished, the state enters the S1 state again, the circulation of the steps from S1 to S4 is realized, and the unmanned vehicle continuously moves forwards.
In practical application, the power component mounted on the main body mechanism can adopt a structural form of a motor or an electromagnet and a spring.

The motion and control flow chart of the present embodiment is shown in fig. 10, and the specific flow is as follows:
s1.0: initial state, as in fig. 11. The motor is powered on, the rotating shaft does not rotate, and the included angle alpha between the rod 1.5 and the rod 1.21 1 Approximately 90 DEG, the angle alpha between the rod 1.5 and the rod 1.9 2 Approximately 90 degrees, the included angle between the left front leg 3 and the rod 1.5, the included angle between the left rear leg 2 and the rod 1.9, the included angle between the right front leg 4 and the rod 1.21 and the included angle beta between the right rear leg 5 and the rod 1.17 are approximately 90 degrees, and the spring is in a natural state.
S1.1: the first jump state, as in fig. 12. The motor shaft rotates clockwise, and the driving rods 1.5, 1.9, 1.17 and 1.21 rotate around the connecting shaft to enable alpha 1 Decrease of alpha 2 The angle beta between the rods 2, 3, 4 and 5 at the root of the limbs and the rods 1.9, 1.5, 1.21 and 1.17 connected on the body is increased through gear meshing constraint. At this time, the left and right front limbs are extended forward, and the left and right front limb ends are moved forwardThe bearings in the walking part and the wrapped tires rotate forwards under the combined action of ground friction and the forward extension of the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb; the left hind limb and the right hind limb extend backwards, the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb tend to move backwards, the bearings in the walking part and the wrapped tires tend to rotate backwards under the combined action of ground friction and the backward extension of the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb, and the one-way bearings do not allow the backward rotation, so the left hind limb and the right hind limb cannot extend backwards, and only can reversely push other parts of the whole unmanned vehicle to move forwards, and therefore the whole vehicle body moves forwards. In this step, the limbs are in a relaxed state, due to geometrical constraints, which is reflected by a tendency of the springs in the limbs to stretch.
S1.2: the first lazy state. The geometrical shape of the unmanned vehicle is the same as that of S1.1, and because the vehicle body in S1.1 moves forwards, all wheels at the tail ends of the four limbs rotate forwards under the inertia effect, and the whole unmanned vehicle slides forwards under the inertia effect.
S1.3: second jump state, fig. 13. The motor shaft rotates clockwise, and the driving rods 1.5, 1.9, 1.17 and 1.21 rotate around the connecting shaft to enable alpha to rotate 1 Increase of alpha 2 And the included angle beta between the limb root rod pieces 2, 3, 4 and 5 and the rods 1.9, 1.5, 1.21 and 1.17 connected on the body is reduced through gear meshing constraint. At the moment, the left hind limb and the right hind limb extend forwards, the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb move forwards, and the bearing in the walking part and the wrapped tire rotate forwards under the combined action of the ground friction force and the forward extension of the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb; the left front limb and the right front limb extend backwards, the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb tend to move backwards, the bearings in the walking part and the wrapped tires tend to rotate backwards under the combined action of ground friction and the backward extension of the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb, and the left front limb and the right front limb cannot extend backwards due to the fact that the one-way bearings cannot allow the backward rotation, and only the other parts of the whole unmanned vehicle can be pulled backwards to move forwards, so that the whole vehicle body moves forwards. In this step, the limbs are in compression due to geometric constraints, which manifests as a tendency of the springs in the limbs to compress.
S1.4: a second coasting state. The geometrical shape of the unmanned vehicle is the same as that of S1.3, and because the vehicle body in S1.3 moves forwards, all wheels at the tail ends of the four limbs rotate forwards under the inertia effect, and the whole unmanned vehicle slides forwards under the inertia effect. And after the S1.4 state is finished, the state enters the S1.1 state again, the circulation of the steps from the S1.1 to the S1.4 is realized, and the unmanned vehicle continuously moves forwards.
Example two

The motion and control flow chart of the present embodiment is shown in fig. 17, and the specific flow is as follows:
s2.0: initial state, as in fig. 18. The electromagnet is electrified, the sucker does not act, and the included angle alpha between the rod 6.5 and the rod 6.21 1 Approximately 90 °, the angle α between the rod 6.5 and the rod 6.9 2 Approximately 90 degrees, the angle between the left front leg 8 and the rod 6.5, the angle between the left rear leg 7 and the rod 6.9, the angle between the right front leg 9 and the rod 6.21, and the angle between the right rear leg 10 and the rod 6.17 are approximately 90 degrees, and the springs are all in a natural state.
S2.1: the first jump state, as shown in fig. 19. The two electromagnets repel each other and drive the upper cover plate 6.2 and the upper cover plate 6.14 to separate so that alpha is 1 Decrease of alpha 2 The angle beta between the limbs ' root bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 and the body's associated bars 6.9, 6.5, 6.21 and 6.17 is increased by the gear mesh constraint. Since the repulsive force is greater than the tensile force of the spring 6.27, the spring is stretched. At the moment, the left front limb and the right front limb extend forwards, the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb move forwards, and the bearing in the walking part and the wrapped tire rotate forwards under the combined action of ground friction and the forward extension of the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb; the left rear limb and the right rear limb extend backwards, the tail ends of the left rear limb and the right rear limb tend to move backwards, the bearings in the walking part and the wrapped tires tend to rotate backwards under the combined action of ground friction and the backward extension of the tail ends of the left rear limb and the right rear limb, and the one-way bearings do not allow backward rotation, so that the left rear limb and the right rear limb cannot extend backwards, and only other parts of the whole unmanned vehicle can be pushed backwards to move forwards, so that the whole vehicle body moves forwards. In this step, the limbs are in a relaxed state, due to geometrical constraints, which is reflected by a tendency of the springs in the limbs to stretch.
S2.2: a first semi-lazy state. The current of the electromagnets is weakened, and no force is applied between the two electromagnets. Initially the machine geometry is the same as S2.1, and subsequently the two upper cover plates are gradually closed under spring tension. As the vehicle body moves forwards in S2.1, all wheels at the tail ends of the four limbs rotate forwards under the combined action of inertia and the spring, and the whole unmanned vehicle slides forwards.
S2.3: second jump state as in fig. 20. And increasing the current of the two electromagnets again, and enabling the current of one electromagnet to be reversed, so that the two electromagnets are mutually attracted. Under the combined action of this force of attraction and the spring tension, the top cover 6.2 and the top cover 6.14 are closed further, so that α 1 Increase, alpha 2 The angle beta between the limb root bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 and the bars 6.9, 6.5, 6.21 and 6.17 connected to the body is reduced by the gear mesh constraint. Since the attractive force is greater than the urging force of the spring 6.27, the spring is compressed. At the moment, the left hind limb and the right hind limb extend forwards, the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb move forwards, and the bearing in the walking part and the wrapped tire rotate forwards under the combined action of the ground friction force and the forward extension of the tail ends of the left hind limb and the right hind limb; the left front limb and the right front limb extend backwards, the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb tend to move backwards, the bearings in the walking part and the wrapped tires tend to rotate backwards under the combined action of ground friction and the backward extension of the tail ends of the left front limb and the right front limb, and the left front limb and the right front limb cannot extend backwards due to the fact that the one-way bearings cannot allow the backward rotation, and only the other parts of the whole unmanned vehicle can be pulled backwards to move forwards, so that the whole vehicle body moves forwards. In this step, the limbs are in compression due to geometrical constraints, which is manifested by a tendency of the springs in the limbs to compress.
S2.4: a second semi-lazy state. The current of the electromagnets is weakened, and no force is applied between the two electromagnets. Initially the machine geometry was the same as S2.3, and then the two upper cover plates were gradually separated under spring thrust. Because the vehicle body moves forwards in S2.3, all wheels at the tail ends of the four limbs rotate forwards under the combined action of inertia and the spring, and the whole unmanned vehicle slides forwards. And after the S2.4 state is finished, the state enters the S2.1 state again, the circulation of the steps from S2.1 to S2.4 is realized, and the unmanned vehicle continuously moves forwards.
In conclusion, the unmanned vehicle provided by the invention does not adopt wheels to rotate to drive the vehicle body, but adopts a body driving mode to move, so that the unmanned vehicle is not easy to slip, and can better adapt to easily-slipping terrains such as sand, mud and shallow water puddles compared with a common wheel type robot;
because the frame is not rigid but moves back and forth, the robot can better adapt to complex and rugged terrains such as disaster sites and the like compared with a common wheeled robot;
due to the existence of the free sliding mode, the energy utilization rate is higher than that of a foot type robot or a crawling robot, and the running speed on a flat road is relatively higher;
when moving, will be alpha 1 Control of the oscillations around a small average value enables a more slender robot profile to be obtained, which can be passed through a long and narrow duct by this body-narrowing means.
