As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the leg structure 100 provided in this embodiment includes: thigh section 110, shank section 120, connecting section 130, and first driving section 160.

In the process of the relative rotation of the thigh 110 and the shank 120, the engagement of the first gear 140 and the second gear 150 can amplify the output stroke of the first driving part 160, thereby increasing the bending angle range of the knee part and further improving the bionic effect of the robot.

When the second gear 150 is a sector gear, the wheel body 141 of the sector gear is connected to the lower leg portion 120, and the toothed portion 142 of the sector gear is engaged with the first gear 140.
