Abstract:

The mechanism that how hydraulic pressure is generated in the spider body and then transferred to the leg was thoroughly reviewed. The hydraulic system in the spider leg is investigated and the relationship between biological hydraulic and engineering hydraulic problems is tentatively established. Hainan fishing spider is taken as the research object, and its inner channel model is obtained by electron microscope scanning, tissue section, Micro-CT and other observation and scanning experiments. Based on this model, the flow mechanism is studied by using CFD software. According to the hemolymph flow trajectory obtained from CFD post-processing, a bionic hydraulic system is designed. The functional bionic exploration of spider walking hydraulic system is carried out, and a kind of integrated two-way motion joint of spider is designed, which solves the problems that the existing spider-like joint cannot realize the integration of drive and the driving accuracy cannot be guaranteed. It highly reproduces the biological driving process of spiders. This study may provide a new idea for the design of engineering hydraulic system.
