when the locking component is in a locking state, the lower leg unit 3 and the travelling wheel 5 are locked, and the lower leg unit 3 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 4 through the travelling wheel 5, so that the driving device 1 drives the travelling wheel 5 and the lower leg unit 3 to travel in a foot-type movement mode through the rotating shaft 4.
When the locking component is in an unlocking state, the lower leg unit 3 and the traveling wheel 5 are unlocked, and the lower leg unit 3 is rotationally connected with the rotating shaft 4, so that the driving device 1 drives the traveling wheel 5 to travel in a wheeled movement mode through the rotating shaft 4, and the lower leg unit 3 is not driven to move.
The working principle of the wheel-foot bimodal mechanical leg 10 includes:
when the locking member is in the locked state, the calf unit 3 is fixedly connected with the spindle 4 via the running wheel 5. When the driving device 1 drives the travelling wheel 5 to rotate forwards through the rotating shaft 4, the lower leg unit 3 is also driven to rotate forwards; when the driving device 1 drives the traveling wheel 5 to rotate backwards through the rotating shaft 4, the calf unit 3 is also driven to rotate backwards. The above-mentioned processes are repeatedly executed, so that the foot-type movement can be implemented.
When the locking member is in the unlocked state, the calf unit 3 and the spindle 4 are rotatably connected, i.e. the spindle 4 and the travelling wheel 5 can rotate freely with respect to the calf unit 3. The driving device 1 drives the traveling wheel 5 to rotate forward through the rotating shaft 4, thereby realizing wheeled movement, as shown in fig. 2.
In summary, in the wheel-foot bimodal mechanical leg provided in this embodiment, by arranging the locking component in the lower leg unit, when the locking component is in the locked state, the lower leg unit is locked with the travelling wheel, and the lower leg unit is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft through the travelling wheel, so that the driving device drives the travelling wheel to drive the lower leg unit to travel in a foot-type mode through the rotating shaft; when the locking part is in an unlocking state, the lower leg unit and the traveling wheel are unlocked, the lower leg unit is rotationally connected with the rotating shaft, and the driving device drives the traveling wheel to travel in a wheel mode through the rotating shaft.
