In real flight, the beetle unfolds forewings and hind wings, and maintains the unfolded configuration unless it is exhausted. The artificial wing has to be able to maintain a fully unfolded configuration while flapping at a desirable flapping frequency. The artificial foldable hind wing developed in this work is based on two four-bar linkages which adapt the behaviors of the beetle＇s hind wing. The four-bar-linkages are designed to mimic rotational motion of the wing base and the vein folding/unfolding motion of the beetle＇s hind wing. The behavior of the artificial wings, which are installed in a flapping-wing system, is observed using a high-speed camera. The observation shows that the wing could maintain a fully unfolded configuration during flapping motion. A series of thrust measurements are also conducted to estimate the force generated by the flapping-wing system with foldable artificial wings. Although the artificial foldable wings give added burden to the flapping-wing system because of its weight, the thrust measurement results show that the flapping-wing system could still generate reasonable thrust.展开更多

In this work, we design a new energy-saving parallel four-bar pumping unit and derive the kinematic and dynamic law of the drive mechanism systematically by theoretical method. For the given target technical parameter, the theoretical results are verified by computer simulation, which shows that the simulation dynamic curves agree well with the theoretical ones and the calculated power consumption is low. Theoretical analysis shows that the newly designed pumping unit reduces average power by 28.8% compared with its conventional counterpart. The much lower theoretical energy consumption and the better dynamic performance indicate that the new energy-saving pumping unit is well designed and will have a significant application prospect.展开更多
