Explorer Scientific Research Vehicle

Strong light environment: In a strong light environment, such as under the scorching sun in the desert, the research vehicle can change the color of the body like a chameleon to make it brighter. This is because bright colors can reflect more light and reduce the heat absorbed by the vehicle. Just like in the hot desert, wearing white clothes feels cooler than black clothes. This can prevent the temperature in the car from being too high, reduce the burden on the cooling system such as the air conditioner in the car, and also help protect the delicate scientific research instruments in the car from being damaged by high temperature.Weak light environment: In a dark environment, such as deep in the forest or near a cave, the research vehicle can dim the color of the body. On the one hand, the dark body is not easy to be found in a weak light environment, which plays a certain concealment role; on the other hand, the dark color can better absorb the weak light around, so it is possible to use these absorbed light to provide additional energy for some low-energy devices of the vehicle, such as powering some small sensors or indicator lights.

Challenge: The structure of frog bones evolved for their biological movement and survival needs. The shape, size and connection method of its bones are complex and irregular, which is very different from the standardized and regularized structures and materials commonly used in mechanical manufacturing, and it is difficult to imitate and replicate directly.Overcoming method: In-depth analysis and simplification of the frog bone structure, extract its key structural features and mechanical principles, such as the distribution of bones, the location and function of connection points, etc., and transform these features into forms that are easy to implement in mechanical design. At the same time, standardized module shapes and connection interfaces are used to facilitate manufacturing and assembly. Finally, through a large number of mechanical experiments and numerical simulations, the vehicle structure inspired by frog bones is optimized to ensure that it has good mechanical properties and reliability under various working conditions.

Vertical space utilization: In the limited space inside the vehicle, the potential of vertical space is fully tapped. In the scientific research module, multi-layer shelves are set up to store experimental consumables, spare instruments, etc. The height of the shelves can be adjusted to facilitate the access to items of different heights; in the living module, hanging cabinets are used to increase storage space to store lightweight items such as clothing and toiletries to avoid occupying ground space, making the layout inside the vehicle more compact and orderly.Easy maintenance design: Considering the complex field environment, the internal layout of the vehicle focuses on easy maintenance. The module adopts an independent packaging design. When a fault occurs or parts need to be replaced, it can be disassembled and repaired separately without disassembling the entire vehicle layout. For example, if a problem occurs with an analytical instrument, you only need to open the corresponding instrument module shell to repair it, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency and reduces the risk and difficulty of field operations.
