Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of simulated dinosaur model manufacturing, in particular to a simulated dinosaur model and a manufacturing process of its skin. Background Art

[0002] Animated dinosaurs are models based on dinosaurs, usually used in museums, theme parks, film and television productions, and are also produced directly as toys. Animated dinosaurs can be made of plastic, rubber, silicone, etc. The appearance and texture can be designed and produced according to the type and age of the dinosaur to achieve a realistic effect. The main features of animated dinosaurs include high realism, dynamic interaction, and high simulation. Not only do they have realistic appearance, color, and texture, but they can also achieve dynamic effects through mechanical devices, such as shaking their heads, opening their mouths and roaring, and even blinking to interact, as if taking people back to prehistoric times.

[0003] In the prior art, the muscles of simulated dinosaurs are made of hard materials such as foam and resin, and the skin is made of silicone material, which is mostly split. When the simulated mechanical dinosaur moves, the muscles cannot bend, and only the joints of the hard materials move and swing. Although it has been carefully designed, the overall appearance is still relatively false, stiff, distorted, and not very ornamental. In addition, the outer simulated surface layer made of the hard material is mostly directly bonded to the surface of the mechanical device, so that the surface material part needs to be replaced as a whole when repairing. For the entire surface, the maintenance cost of the simulated dinosaur for long-term use is relatively high.

[0004] To this end, we have developed a new simulated dinosaur model and its skin production process. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be resolved

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a simulated dinosaur model and a process for manufacturing its skin, which solves the problem that the muscles of the simulated dinosaurs in the prior art are made of hard materials such as foam and resin, and the skin is made of silicone material, which is mostly split. When the simulated mechanical dinosaur moves, the muscles cannot bend, and only the joints of the hard material move and swing. Although it has been carefully designed, the overall look is still relatively false, stiff, distorted, and not very ornamental. In addition, the outer simulated surface layer made of the hard material is mostly directly bonded to the surface of the mechanical device, so that the skin material part needs to be replaced as a whole when repairing, and the maintenance cost of the entire skin for long-term use of the simulated dinosaur is relatively high.

[0007] (II) Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a simulated dinosaur model, including a movable mechanical device and an outer simulated surface layer, the outer simulated surface layer is sleeved on the outside of the movable mechanical device, and the surface of the head, trunk and limbs of the movable mechanical device are fixedly connected with magnetic blocks, the upper surface of the magnetic blocks are fixedly connected with a plurality of limit horizontal plates, and the inner side of each group of the plurality of limit horizontal plates is slidably connected with a mounting plate;

[0009] A plurality of mounting seats are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate, a lower clamping plate is fixedly connected to the top of each of the mounting seats, and a sponge fixing mechanism is installed on the top of each of the lower clamping plates.

[0010] Preferably, the sponge fixing mechanism includes a first support plate and a second support plate respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the lower splint, an upper splint is arranged above the lower splint, and another first support plate and a second support plate are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the upper splint, and one end of the two first support plates is commonly fixedly connected to a connecting head.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting head includes two connecting blocks and an arc-shaped plate, one end of the two connecting blocks is respectively fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding first support plate, and the two ends of the arc-shaped plate are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two connecting blocks away from the first support plate, an elastic interlayer is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped plate, and a rubber plug is fixedly connected through the inner side of the elastic interlayer.

[0012] Preferably, a screw is passed through and fixedly connected to the side wall of the single second support plate at the bottom, one end of the screw extends through and extends to the top of the other second support plate, and a nut is threadedly sleeved on the outer surface of the screw, and the lower surface of the nut abuts against the upper surface of the single second support plate at the top.

[0013] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two second support plates, and the spring is sleeved on the outside of the screw rod.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, under the elastic force of the spring returning to its initial state, the single second support plate at the top will move upward under the push of the spring, thereby increasing the distance between the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate, and being able to accommodate and clamp more sponges.

[0015] Preferably, a through hole larger than the diameter of the screw is formed on the side wall of the second support plate located at the top.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the existence of the through hole allows the screw rod to pass through unhindered, and the screw rod will not hinder the displacement of the above second support plate.

[0017] A process for making the skin of a simulated dinosaur model comprises the following specific steps:

[0018] Step 1: First, attach the magnetic blocks to the surface of the head, trunk and limbs of the movable mechanical device, then insert the mounting plate into the inner side of the limit horizontal plate, first take some high-density sponge and clamp it on the opposite sides of the upper and lower splints, and preliminarily complete the wrapping of the dinosaur body, then wrap the sponge completely and tightly on the internal movable mechanical device, fill the gaps, and then use manual carving technology to carve the sponge into various dinosaur shapes;

[0019] Step 2: After the modeling is completed, the stockings are bonded to the surface of the sponge with silicone glue to completely seal the sponge, forming a preliminary product outer skin with strong elasticity, strong tensile resistance and waterproof function;

[0020] Step 3: Spray the color mixed with oil paint, diluent and glass glue onto the surface of the product, and combine it with the outer skin of the product to form a dinosaur appearance of various colors, thus making the final outer simulation surface.

[0021] (III) Beneficial effects

[0022] The present invention provides a simulated dinosaur model and a process for making its skin, which have the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The simulated dinosaur model and its skin manufacturing process are designed with a movable mechanical device, a magnetic block and a sponge fixing mechanism. The high-density sponge is fixed on the surface of the mounting plate by clamping the upper and lower splints, and then adsorbed on the outside of the movable mechanical device by magnetic attraction. Compared with the traditional bonding method, the sponge fixing method is simpler and more convenient. Moreover, when the stockings are bonded to the surface of the sponge with silicone adhesive to completely seal the sponge, the sponge will not fall off from the movable mechanical device easily. The connection reliability between the movable mechanical device and the outer simulated surface is better. At the same time, the skin material part does not need to be replaced as a whole when repairing. For the overall skin, the long-term maintenance cost of the simulated dinosaur is lower, and it is easy to replace and repair damage.

[0024] 2. This simulated dinosaur model and its skin production process apply traditional simulated skin technology to a movable device for the first time, using high-density sponge and stockings to simulate dinosaur skin. It has a high degree of simulation and feels good when touched directly by human hands. At the same time, when the simulated mechanical dinosaur moves, the muscles of the high-density sponge can bend synchronously, instead of just split joint movement and swinging. The overall look is more realistic and more ornamental. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Examples, such as Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a simulated dinosaur model, comprising a movable mechanical device 1 and an outer simulated surface layer 2, wherein the outer simulated surface layer 2 is sleeved on the outside of the movable mechanical device 1, and the surfaces of the head, trunk and limbs of the movable mechanical device 1 are fixedly connected with magnetic blocks 3, and the upper surfaces of the magnetic blocks 3 are fixedly connected with a plurality of limit horizontal plates 4, and the inner sides of each group of the plurality of limit horizontal plates 4 are slidably connected with a mounting plate 5;

[0035] A plurality of mounting seats 6 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 5 , a lower clamping plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the plurality of mounting seats 6 , and a sponge fixing mechanism is installed on the top of each of the plurality of lower clamping plates 8 .

[0036] Among them, Figure 3As shown, the movable mechanical device 1 can directly select the mechanical dog in the prior art as the main body to support the simulated dinosaur to realize the action, and the movable mechanical device is not the technical focus of this application;

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the sponge fixing mechanism includes a first support plate 10 and a second support plate 11 which are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the lower splint 8, an upper splint 9 is arranged above the lower splint 8, and another first support plate 10 and a second support plate 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the upper splint 9, and one end of the two first support plates 10 is commonly fixedly connected to a connecting head 7.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the connector 7 includes two connecting blocks 701 and an arc-shaped plate 702, one end of the two connecting blocks 701 is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding first support plate 10, and the two ends of the arc-shaped plate 702 are fixedly connected to one end of the two connecting blocks 701 away from the first support plate 10, an elastic interlayer 703 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 702, and a rubber plug 704 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the elastic interlayer 703;

[0039] Among them, the arc plate 702 is made of elastic metal sheet material, and the elastic interlayer 703 can be made of EVA plastic layer (which has many advantages such as excellent elasticity, softness, chemical stability and low cost), so that the angle between the upper splint 9 and the lower splint 8 can be changed, thereby realizing the opening and closing operations. In addition, the existence of the rubber plug 704 makes the deformation of the arc plate 702 and the elastic interlayer 703 have a certain strength support and limit. The rubber plug 704 makes the inner layer have a certain mechanical strength to play a supporting and shape-retaining role, which is more durable and will not easily crack.

[0040] The side wall of the single second support plate 11 at the bottom is penetrated and fixedly connected with a screw rod 12, and one end of the screw rod 12 extends to the top of the other second support plate 11. Correspondingly, the side wall of the single second support plate 11 at the top is provided with a through hole larger than the diameter of the screw rod 12, so that the screw rod 12 can pass through unimpeded, and the screw rod 12 will not hinder the displacement of the above-mentioned second support plate 11, and the outer surface of the screw rod 12 is sleeved with a nut 14 threadedly connected, and the lower surface of the nut 14 abuts against the upper surface of the single second support plate 11 at the top. When the nut 14 is screwed and displaced downward along the screw rod 12, it will push the second support plate 11 at the bottom to move downward together, thereby driving the upper splint 9 closer to the lower splint 8, and fixing the sponge between the upper splint 9 and the lower splint 8;

[0041] Among them, the two second support plates 11 are commonly fixedly connected to the opposite sides with a spring 13, and the spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 12. The spring 13 is in a compressed state for a long time. When the nut 14 is screwed in the opposite direction, it moves upward. Under the elastic force of the spring 13 to restore the initial state, the single second support plate 11 on the upper side will move upward under the pushing of the spring 13, thereby increasing the distance between the upper splint 9 and the lower splint 8, and being able to accommodate and clamp more sponges.

[0042] A process for making the skin of a simulated dinosaur model comprises the following specific steps:

[0043] Step 1: First, the magnetic blocks 3 are correspondingly adsorbed on the surface of the head, trunk and limbs of the movable mechanical device 1, and then the mounting plate 5 is inserted into the inner side of the limit horizontal plate 4. First, some high-density sponges are clamped on the opposite sides of the upper plywood 8 and the lower plywood 9, and the dinosaur body is initially wrapped;

[0044] Specifically, in the initial state, the nut 14 is not screwed into place, and at this time, a high-density sponge is inserted between the upper plywood 9 and the lower plywood 8, so that the entire body of the movable mechanical device 1 is wrapped with the sponge, and then the nut 14 is tightened, so that the sponge is completely and tightly wrapped on the internal movable mechanical device 1, and then the sponge is filled into the gaps (such as between the head and the trunk, between the trunk and the limbs), and then the sponge is carved into various dinosaur shapes by hand carving technology;

[0045] Step 2: After the modeling is completed, the stockings are bonded to the surface of the sponge with silicone glue to completely seal the sponge, forming a preliminary product outer skin with strong elasticity, strong tensile resistance and waterproof function;

[0046] Step three, spray the color mixed with oil paint, diluent and glass glue onto the surface of the product, and combine it with the outer skin of the product to form a dinosaur appearance of various colors. The color has penetrated deeply into the skin epidermis and will not be diluted or faded due to water spraying or rain, thus forming the final outer simulation surface layer 2.

[0047] Working principle: In actual application, the high-density sponge is fixed on the surface of the mounting plate 5 by clamping the upper splint 9 and the lower splint 8, and then adsorbed on the outside of the movable mechanical device 1 by magnetic attraction. Compared with the traditional bonding method, the sponge fixing method is simpler and more convenient. Moreover, when the stockings are bonded to the surface of the sponge with silicone glue to completely seal the sponge, the sponge will not fall off the movable mechanical device 1 easily. The connection reliability between the movable mechanical device 1 and the outer simulated surface layer 2 is better. At the same time, the surface material part does not need to be replaced as a whole when repairing. For example, when the skin of the simulated dinosaur is damaged somewhere, it is only necessary to replace the stockings on the surface and the sponge block at the corresponding position, and re-spray the paint. There is no need to replace the entire sponge. For the overall skin, the long-term use maintenance cost of the simulated dinosaur is lower, and it is easy to replace and repair damage.

[0048] In summary, the present invention applies traditional simulated epidermis technology to a movable device 1 for the first time, and uses high-density sponge in combination with stockings to simulate dinosaur skin. The simulation degree is high, and the texture feels good when directly touched by human hands. At the same time, when the simulated mechanical dinosaur moves, the muscles of the high-density sponge can bend synchronously, and it is no longer just split-type joint movement and swing. The overall look and feel is more realistic and more ornamental.

[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
