Abstract

A flapping-wing aerial vehicle includes a body, a driving mechanism, a transmission mechanism and a flapping-wing mechanism. The driving mechanism is fixed to the body. The transmission mechanism includes two first cranks, two first rocker arms, a first linkage rod, two second cranks, two second rocker arms and a second linkage rod. An end of the first linkage rod is connected between the two first cranks, and another end of the first linkage rod is connected between the two first rocker arms, so as to form a bridge-type support structure. An end of the second linkage rod is connected between the two second cranks, and another end of the second linkage rod is connected between the two second rocker arms, so as to form a bridge-type support structure. The flapping-wing mechanism is connected to one of the two first rocker arms and one of the two second rocker arms.

Dependent claims

A flapping-wing aerial vehicle comprising:

a body;
a driving mechanism fixed to the body;
a transmission mechanism comprising:
two first cranks rotatably disposed on the body and connected to the driving mechanism;
two first rocker arms rotatably disposed on the body;
a first linkage rod, an end of the first linkage rod being connected between the two first cranks, another end of the first linkage rod being connected between the two first rocker arms, so as to form a bridge-type pin support structure;
two second cranks rotatably disposed on the body and connected to the driving mechanism, the two first cranks and the two second cranks being located at opposite sides of the body;
two second rocker arms rotatably disposed on the body, the two first rocker arms and the two second rocker arms being located at opposite sides of the body;
and
a second linkage rod, an end of the second linkage rod being connected between the two second cranks, another end of the second linkage rod being connected between the two second rocker arms, so as to form a bridge-type bearing support structure;
and
a flapping-wing mechanism connected to one of the two first rocker arms and one of the two second rocker arms.
