The invention discloses a surging movement mechanism. The surging movement mechanism comprises an upper platform, an intermediate platform, a lower platform, a first electric push rod, a second electric push rod, a third electric push rod, a fourth electric push rod, a fifth electric push rod, a sixth electric push rod, a seventh electric push rod, an eighth electric push rod and a ninth electric push rod, wherein the first electric push rod, the second electric push rod, the third electric push rod, the fourth electric push rod, the fifth electric push rod, the sixth electric push rod, the seventh electric push rod, the eighth electric push rod and the ninth electric push rod connect the upper platform, the intermediate platform and the lower platform. The upper platform contains a first hinge assembly, a second hinge assembly, a third hinge assembly, a tenth electric push rod, an eleventh electric push rod and a twelfth electric push rod, wherein the tenth electric push rod, the eleventh electric push rod and the twelfth electric push rod connect the first hinge assembly, the second hinge assembly and the third hinge assembly. The upper platform, the intermediate platform and the lower platform are identical. In the movement process, the three platforms, namely the upper platform, the intermediate platform and the lower platform, of a prototype in the initial state are controlled to be sequentially and continuously enlarged and shrunk in the sequence of the intermediate platform, the lower platform and the upper platform, and the prototype can complete surging movement which is cycled endlessly. The surging movement mechanism can be applied to the fields such as pipeline survey and repair and cave body shield tunneling construction.
