Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of toy technology, and more particularly to a transforming toy. Background Technology

[0002] To attract children to play with toys, the variety of toys is becoming increasingly diverse.

[0003] To enhance visual appeal, some toys are designed to transform. These transforming toys consist of a shell and transforming parts; once the shell is opened, the transforming parts unfold to alter the monotonous visual experience.

[0004] However, existing transforming toys require multiple transforming parts to interact individually before retracting into the shell when returning to their initial state. This is inconvenient to operate and cumbersome to store, thus reducing the user's play experience.

[0005] Given the above problems, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a transforming toy that is easy to store and operate.

[0007] The present invention provides a transforming toy, comprising a toy base, a transforming component movably connected to the toy base, and a toy shell movably connected to the transforming component; the transforming component includes a linkage mechanism and at least two transforming bodies, the linkage mechanism being connected to each of the transforming bodies, and the toy shell being movably connected to the linkage mechanism; the transforming component has an unfolded state and a retracted state; when the transforming component is in the unfolded state, each of the transforming bodies moves to the outside of the toy shell; when the transforming component is in the retracted state, the toy shell drives the linkage mechanism to move each of the transforming bodies simultaneously, and all the transforming bodies move into the toy cavity formed by the toy shell and the toy base.

[0008] Furthermore, the deformable component includes a main body, a first deformable body, and a second deformable body, which are movably connected to the main body. The linkage mechanism is connected to the main body and is connected to the first deformable body and the second deformable body. The toy shell is movably connected to the main body and is connected to the linkage mechanism. When the toy shell moves, it triggers the linkage mechanism to drive the first deformable body and the second deformable body to move.

[0009] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism includes a first linkage member, a second linkage member, and an active member; the active member is movably connected to the main body, the first linkage member is movably connected between the first deformable body and the active member, and the second linkage member is movably connected between the second deformable body and the active member; the toy shell is connected to the active member and can drive the active member to move.

[0010] Furthermore, the active component is slidably connected to the main body, and the toy shell is rotatably connected to the main body via a first connecting shaft; a first gear is connected to the first connecting shaft, and a first tooth is provided on the side of the active component facing the shell, and the first gear meshes with the first tooth.

[0011] Furthermore, the first deformable body is rotatably connected to the main body; the first linkage includes a second connecting shaft and a second gear, the second connecting shaft is connected to the first deformable body, and the second gear is connected to the second connecting shaft; the driving member has a second tooth on its side facing the second gear, and the second gear meshes with the second tooth.

[0012] Furthermore, the second deformable body is rotatably connected to the main body; the second linkage includes a sliding rod and a connecting rod, the connecting rod is slidably connected to the main body and connected to the driving member, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected between the second deformable body and the sliding rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a locking block is connected to the sliding rod, and when the first deformable body and the second deformable body move into the toy cavity, the locking block engages with the toy shell.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting plate capable of blocking the locking block is connected to the main body, and the limiting plate is located on the side of the locking block away from the active member.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a pop-up mechanism and an external trigger that can trigger the pop-up mechanism, the pop-up mechanism being connected to the toy base; when the external trigger triggers the pop-up mechanism, the pop-up mechanism pops up the toy base, and the deformable part switches from the stored state to the unfolded state.

[0016] Furthermore, the pop-up mechanism includes a spring plate, a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring; the spring plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the toy base via the rotating shaft, and the torsion spring is connected to the rotating shaft; the spring plate has a first position and a second position; when the pop-up mechanism is triggered, the spring plate rotates from the first position to the second position.

[0017] Furthermore, the pop-up mechanism also includes a connecting gear and a locking block that can engage with the connecting gear; the connecting gear is sleeved on the rotating shaft, the locking block is slidably connected to the toy base, and a telescopic spring is connected to the side of the locking block away from the connecting gear; when the pop-up mechanism is triggered, the locking block separates from the connecting gear; during the process of the spring plate resetting from the second position to the first position, the locking block can engage with the gear groove of the connecting gear.

The sliding plate is slidably connected to the toy base, the first locking block is movably connected to the toy base and can lock the sliding plate, and the second locking block is connected to the sliding plate and can lock the toy shell. When the spring plate is in the first position, the first locking block locks the sliding plate, the second locking block locks the toy shell, and the deformable part is in the retracted state. When the spring plate moves from the first position to the second position, the spring plate touches the second locking block to release the sliding plate, the sliding plate drives the first locking block to release the toy shell, and the deformable part is in the unfolded state.

[0019] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a locking rod capable of locking the slide plate and a connecting spring connected to the locking rod. The locking rod is slidably connected to the sliding seat. When the toy seat pops up, the locking rod is connected to the slide plate to lock the slide plate. When the toy seat lands, the locking rod separates from the slide plate, and the slide plate can slide.

[0020] Furthermore, the locking rod includes a first rod portion and a second rod portion connected to the first rod portion, the diameter of the second rod portion being larger than the diameter of the first rod portion; the sliding plate is provided with a first through hole that can slide with the first rod portion and a second through hole that can slide with the second rod portion, the first through hole communicating with the second through hole, and the width of the first through hole being smaller than the width of the second through hole.

[0021] Furthermore, a rotatable pressure plate is connected to the bottom of the toy base, and the pressure plate is connected to the locking rod so as to drive the locking rod to slide; when the spring plate is in the first position, the spring plate presses against the pressure plate and is located below the pressure plate.

The transforming component includes a linkage mechanism and at least two transforming bodies. The linkage mechanism is connected to each transforming body, and the toy shell is movably connected to the linkage mechanism. The transforming component has an unfolded state and a retracted state. When the transforming component is in the unfolded state, each transforming body moves to the outside of the toy shell. When the transforming component is in the retracted state, the toy shell drives the linkage mechanism to move each transforming body simultaneously, and all transforming bodies move into the toy cavity formed by the toy shell and the toy base. This transforming toy allows each transforming body to move simultaneously through the linkage mechanism when the toy shell is operated, thus facilitating the transformation toy's return to the retracted state after unfolding. The entire operation is simpler and more convenient, improving the play experience. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, various structural and implementation methods can be interchanged by those skilled in the art without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of the invention.

[0049] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0050] like Figure 1-4As shown, a transforming toy 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a toy base 1, a transforming component 2 movably connected to the toy base 1, and a toy shell 3 movably connected to the transforming component 2.

[0051] The deformable part 2 includes a linkage mechanism 21 and at least two deformable bodies. The linkage mechanism 21 is connected to each deformable body, and the toy shell 3 is movably connected to the linkage mechanism 2.

[0052] The deformable part 2 has an unfolded state and a stowed state.

[0053] When the transforming part 2 is in the unfolded state, each transforming part moves to the outside of the toy shell 3.

[0054] When the deformable part 2 is in the storage state, the toy shell 3 drives the linkage mechanism 21 to move each deformable part at the same time, and all the deformable parts move into the toy cavity formed by the toy shell 3 and the toy base 1.

[0055] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the toy shell 3 and the toy base 1 form the appearance of the transforming toy 10. The appearance of the transforming toy 10 can be in various shapes, such as cars, airplanes, animals, etc.

[0056] The toy shell 3 and the toy base 1 can be closed and separated. When the toy shell 3 and the toy base 1 are closed, they form a toy cavity, and the transforming part 2 and the linkage mechanism 21 are located inside the toy cavity. When the toy shell 3 and the toy base 1 are separated, the transforming part 2 and the linkage mechanism 21 are exposed on the outside and connected between the toy shell 3 and the toy base 1.

[0057] The transforming part 2 includes at least two transformable bodies, each of which is movable, allowing the transforming part 2 to unfold and retract, thus giving it an unfolded state and a retracted state. The linkage mechanism 21 has at least two linkage connecting parts, the number of which is the same as the number of transformable bodies, with each connecting part connected to one transformable body. The linkage mechanism 21 also has a linkage drive end, which is connected to the toy shell 3. When the toy shell 3 moves, it triggers the linkage drive end, which drives the linkage connecting parts to move the transformable bodies, thus enabling each transformable body to move simultaneously.

[0058] When transforming part 2 is in the stowed state, toy shell 3 is connected to toy base 1, and each transforming part is close to each other inside the toy cavity. When transforming part 2 is in the unfolded state, toy shell 3 moves away from toy base 1, and each transforming part moves away from each other. When it is necessary to return transforming part 2 to the stowed state, toy shell 3 is moved towards toy base 1. Toy shell 3 triggers linkage mechanism 21, which moves the transforming parts closer together. This eliminates the need to operate each transforming part individually, making it convenient for the player.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the deformable part 2 includes a main body 22, a first deformable body 23, and a second deformable body 24, which are movably connected to the main body 22. A linkage mechanism 21 is connected to the main body 22 and to both the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24. The toy shell 3 is movably connected to the main body 22 and to the linkage mechanism 21. When the toy shell 3 moves, it triggers the linkage mechanism 21 to drive the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24 to move.

[0060] Specifically, the main body 22 is located between the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24, with the first deformable body 23 located below the second deformable body 24. In this embodiment, the deformable part 2 is in the shape of a robot, the main body 22 is the robot's torso, the first deformable body 23 is the robot's leg, and the second deformable body 24 is the robot's hand. Of course, in other embodiments, the deformable part 2 can also be of other shapes.

[0061] Both the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24 can move relative to the main body 22. The linkage mechanism 21 and the toy shell 3 are also connected to the main body 22, and the toy shell 3 is movably connected to the main body 22. When the toy shell 3 moves on the main body 22, it can trigger the linkage mechanism 21 to drive the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24 to move. This configuration provides a more reasonable layout and a more secure connection for the toy shell 3 and the linkage mechanism 21.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the linkage mechanism 21 includes a first linkage member 211, a second linkage member 212, and an active member 213. The active member 213 is movably connected to the main body 22, the first linkage member 211 is movably connected between the first deformable body 23 and the active member 213, and the second linkage member 212 is movably connected between the second deformable body 24 and the active member 213. The toy shell 3 is connected to the active member 213 and can drive the active member 213 to move.

[0063] Specifically, the linkage mechanism 21 has a first linkage member 211, a second linkage member 212, and an active member 213. The active member 213 can move on the main body 22. When the active member 213 moves, it drives the first linkage member 211 and the second linkage member 212 to move, thereby driving the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24 to move. The toy shell 3 is connected to the active member 213, and the toy shell 3 drives the active member 213 to move.

[0064] Optionally, the driving member 213 is a driving gear set, the first linkage member 211 is a first linkage gear set, and the second linkage member 212 is a second linkage gear set. The driving gear set meshes with the first linkage gear set and the second linkage gear set respectively. The first linkage gear set meshes with the first deformable body 23, and the second linkage gear set meshes with the second deformable body 24. When the toy shell 3 rotates on the main body 22, it drives the gears in the driving gear set to rotate, generating power to drive the first linkage gear set and the second linkage gear set to rotate. Of course, the first linkage member 211, the second linkage member 212, and the driving member 213 can also be other structures, as long as the driving member 213 can drive the first linkage member 211 and the second linkage member 212 to move when it moves.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the driving member 213 is slidably connected to the main body 22, and the toy shell 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 22 via the first connecting shaft 31. A first gear 32 is connected to the first connecting shaft 31, and a first tooth 2131 is provided on the side of the driving member 213 facing the first connecting shaft 31. The first gear 32 meshes with the first tooth 2131.

[0066] Specifically, a first connecting shaft 31 is connected to the toy shell 3, and the first connecting shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the main body 22, so that the toy shell 3 can rotate in both forward and reverse directions relative to the main body 22. A first gear 32 is connected to the first connecting shaft 31, and the rotation of the first connecting shaft 31 drives the first gear 32 to rotate.

[0067] The driving component 213 is a long, narrow rack. A first tooth 2131, comprising multiple teeth and grooves, is provided on the side of the driving component 213 facing the first connecting shaft 31. The first tooth 2131 meshes with the first gear 32. Thus, when the first gear 32 rotates, it drives the driving component 213 to slide. This arrangement employs a purely mechanical connection method, resulting in a more robust connection and lower production costs.

[0068] Optionally, a torsion spring is connected to the first connecting shaft 31. When the toy shell 3 rotates in the reverse direction and connects to the toy base 1, the torsion spring deforms and generates elastic potential energy. When the toy shell 3 separates from the toy base 1, the torsion spring recovers its deformation and releases the elastic potential energy, causing the toy shell 3 to rotate in the forward direction.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the first deformable body 23 is rotatably connected to the main body 22. The first linkage 211 includes a second connecting shaft 2111 and a second gear 2112. The second connecting shaft 2111 is connected to the first deformable body 23, and the second gear 2112 is connected to the second connecting shaft 2111. The driving member 213 has a second tooth 2132 on its side facing the second gear 2112, and the second gear 2112 meshes with the second tooth 2132.

[0070] Specifically, a shaft is connected to the first deformable body 23, which is rotatably connected to the main body 22. A second connecting shaft 2111 is connected to the shaft and is coaxially arranged with it. A second gear 2112 is connected to the second connecting shaft 2111. The driving member 213 is a double-sided rack, and a second tooth 2132 is provided on the side of the driving member 213 facing the second gear 2112. The second tooth 2132 and the first tooth 2131 are located on two opposite sides of the driving member 213. The second tooth 2132 includes multiple teeth and grooves, and meshes with the second gear 2112. When the driving member 213 slides, it drives the second gear 2112 to rotate, and the second gear 2112 drives the first deformable body 23 to rotate through the second connecting shaft 2111, thus achieving linkage. This arrangement uses a purely mechanical connection method, which is not easily damaged and has a good transmission effect.

[0071] Optionally, the bottom of the first deformable body 23 is rotatably connected to the toy base 1, and during the process of the deformable part 2 switching from the unfolded state to the stored state, the first deformable body 23 rotates toward the toy base 1.

[0072] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, the second deformable body 24 is rotatably connected to the main body 22. The second linkage 212 includes a sliding rod 2121 and a connecting rod 2122. The connecting rod 2122 is slidably connected to the main body 22 and connected to the driving member 213. The connecting rod 2122 is rotatably connected between the second deformable body 24 and the sliding rod 2121.

[0073] Specifically, the second deformable body 24 is rotatably connected to the main body 22 via a swing rod 241. One end of the swing rod 241 is rotatably connected to the main body 22, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second deformable body 24, so that the second deformable body 24 can move closer to and further away from the main body 22.

[0074] The second linkage 212 includes a sliding rod 2121 and a connecting rod 2122. The sliding rod 2121 is slidably connected to the main body 22, and the connecting rod 2122 is rotatably connected to the main body 22. One end of the sliding rod 2121 is connected to the driving member 213, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 2122. The other end of the connecting rod 2122 is rotatably connected to the second deformable body 24. When the driving member 213 slides, it drives the sliding rod 2121 to slide, the sliding rod 2121 drives the connecting rod 2122 to rotate, and the connecting rod 2122 drives the second deformable body 24 to move. The second linkage 212, with this configuration, has a simple structure, is not easily damaged, and has low cost.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3-4As shown, a locking block 2123 is connected to the sliding rod 2121. When the first deformable body 23 and the second deformable body 24 move into the toy cavity, the locking block 2123 engages with the toy shell 3.

[0076] Specifically, the inner surface of the toy shell 3 is connected to a hook 33. When the toy shell 3 rotates in the opposite direction, the driving member 213 drives the sliding rod 2121 to slide towards the hook 33. When the deformable part 2 is in the retracted state, the locking block 2123 cooperates with the hook 33 to make the toy shell 3 secure. The bottom surface of the toy shell 3 fits against the toy base 1 to form a toy cavity.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3-4 As shown, a limiting plate 221 capable of blocking the locking block 2123 is connected to the main body 22. The limiting plate 221 is located on the side of the locking block 2123 away from the active member 213.

[0078] Specifically, a limiting plate 221 is connected to the main body 22, and a sliding rod 2121 is located between the limiting plate 221 and the driving member 213. When the sliding rod 2121 slides toward the limiting plate 221, the limiting plate 221 can resist the locking block 2123 to restrict the sliding of the sliding rod 2121.

[0079] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1-2 and Figure 5-9 As shown, it also includes a pop-up mechanism 4 and an external trigger 6 that can trigger the pop-up mechanism 4. The pop-up mechanism 4 is connected to the toy base 1. When the external trigger 6 triggers the pop-up mechanism 4, the pop-up mechanism 4 pops up the toy base 1, and the transforming part 2 switches from the stored state to the unfolded state.

[0080] Specifically, the transforming toy 10 also includes a pop-up mechanism 4 and an external trigger 6. The pop-up mechanism 4 is connected to the toy base 1. The external trigger 6 is a separately molded object that can come into contact with the pop-up mechanism 4. When the pop-up mechanism 4 comes into contact with the external trigger 6, the pop-up mechanism 4 is triggered and activated, popping up the toy base 1. The entire transforming toy 10 is airborne, and the transforming parts 2 change from a stored state to an unfolded state, thus providing players with a special visual experience and enhancing the fun of playing.

[0081] Optionally, in this embodiment, the toy base 1 is connected to wheels, and the external trigger 6 is disc-shaped. The toy base 1 can slide toward the external trigger 6, so that the external trigger 6 contacts the pop-up mechanism 4.

[0082] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6-9As shown, the spring-loaded mechanism 4 includes a spring plate 41, a rotating shaft 42, and a torsion spring 43. The spring plate 41 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the toy base 1 via the rotating shaft 42, and the torsion spring 43 is connected to the rotating shaft 42. The spring plate 41 has a first position and a second position. When the spring-loaded mechanism 4 is triggered, the spring plate 41 rotates from the first position to the second position.

[0083] Specifically, the spring plate 41 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the toy base 1 via a rotating shaft 42, on which a torsion spring 43 is fitted. In both the first and second positions, the spring plate 41 is in contact with the bottom of the toy base 1, the difference being that the ends of the spring plate 41 furthest from the rotating shaft 42 face opposite directions. In the first position, the torsion spring 43 deforms, generating elastic potential energy. After the spring-launching mechanism 4 is triggered, the torsion spring 43 recovers its deformation, releasing the elastic potential energy and causing the spring plate 41 to rotate from the first position to the second position. During this process, the spring plate 41 contacts the ground, exerting an upward force on the toy base 1, thus lifting the toy base 1 into the air. After the toy base 1 is lifted into the air, the spring plate 41 continues to rotate to the second position.

[0084] Optionally, the pop-up mechanism 4 includes a trigger button, which is slidably connected to the toy base 1. When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, the trigger button is engaged with the spring plate 41. When the external trigger 6 touches the trigger button, the trigger button is forced to slide and separate from the spring plate 41, releasing the spring plate 41 to rotate.

[0085] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6-9 As shown, the pop-up mechanism 4 also includes a connecting gear 44 and a locking block 45 that can engage with the connecting gear 44. The connecting gear 44 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 42, and the locking block 45 is slidably connected to the toy base 1. A telescopic spring 46 is connected to the side of the locking block 45 away from the connecting gear 44. When the pop-up mechanism 4 is triggered, the locking block 45 separates from the connecting gear 44. During the process of the spring plate 41 resetting from the second position to the first position, the locking block 45 can engage with the gear groove of the connecting gear 44.

[0086] Specifically, the spring-loaded mechanism 4 also includes a connecting gear 44 and a locking block 45. The connecting gear 44 is fitted onto the rotating shaft 42 and can rotate with the rotating shaft 42. The connecting gear 44 has multiple gear slots. The locking block 45 can slide towards and away from the connecting gear 44. When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, the locking block 45 engages with one of the gear slots, thereby locking the spring plate 41 and keeping it fixed. After the external trigger 6 is triggered, the locking block 45 disengages from the gear slot, and the spring plate 41 is unrestricted and can rotate. During the process of the player restoring the spring plate 41 from the second position to the first position, the locking block 45 can re-engage with the gear slot at any time to keep the spring plate 41 fixed. That is to say, when the spring plate 41 rotates to any position between the first and second positions and stops rotating, the locking block 45 can re-engage with the corresponding gear slot to fix the spring plate 41 in place. This prevents player error by causing the spring plate 41 to suddenly rotate in the opposite direction towards the second position during its rotation from the second position to the first position, thus colliding with the player's hand and protecting the player from injury.

[0087] Optionally, the pop-up mechanism 4 also includes a trigger plate 47, which is slidably connected to the toy base 1. A locking block 45 is slidably connected to the trigger plate 47, and a telescopic spring 46 is provided on the side of the locking block 45 away from the connecting gear 44. When the pop-up plate 41 is in the first position, the locking block 45 is engaged with the connecting gear 44. When the trigger plate 47 is triggered by the external trigger 6, the trigger plate 47 drives the locking block 45 to slide away from the connecting gear 44, compressing the telescopic spring and releasing the pop-up plate 41, which then rotates from the first position to the second position. During the rotation of the pop-up plate 41 from the second position to the first position, when the gear groove of the connecting gear 44 aligns with the locking block 45, the telescopic spring 46 resumes its function, pushing the locking block 45 into the gear groove. Thus, during the rotation of the pop-up plate 41 from the second position to the first position, the locking block 45 locks the pop-up plate 41 in place each time it rotates to align with a gear groove.

[0088] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5-9 As shown, it also includes a locking mechanism 5, which includes a sliding plate 51, a first locking block 52, and a second locking block 53. The sliding plate 51 is slidably connected to the toy base 1. The first locking block 52 is movably connected to the toy base 1 and can lock the sliding plate 51. The second locking block 53 is connected to the sliding plate 51 and can lock the toy shell 3. When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, the first locking block 52 locks the sliding plate 51, the second locking block 53 locks the toy shell 3, and the deformable part 2 is in a retracted state. When the spring plate 41 moves from the first position to the second position, the spring plate 41 touches the second locking block 53 to release the sliding plate 51. The sliding plate 51 drives the first locking block 52 to release the toy shell 3, and the deformable part 2 is in an unfolded state.

[0089] Specifically, the transforming toy 10 also includes a locking mechanism 5, which comprises a slide plate 51, a first locking block 52, and a second locking block 53. The slide plate 51 is movably connected to the toy base 1, and the first locking block 52 is movably connected to the toy base 1 in a second position. The second locking block 53 is connected to the slide plate 51 and can lock the toy shell 3. When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, the first locking block 52 locks the slide plate 51, and the second locking block 53 locks the toy shell 3. When the spring plate 41 is in the second position, the spring plate 41 triggers the first locking block 52 to release the slide plate 51. The slide plate 51 drives the second locking block 53 to move, releasing the toy shell 3, allowing the toy shell 3 to open and the transforming part 2 to unfold. This achieves automatic unfolding of the transforming part 2, and the transforming part 2 can only unfold when the spring plate 41 is in the second position.

[0090] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 51 is slidably connected to the toy base 1 and can slide laterally along the toy base 1. The first locking block 52 is slidably connected to the toy base 1 and can slide vertically along the toy base 1, with a portion of the first locking block 52 extending downwards from the bottom of the toy base 1. The toy shell 3 can be connected and fixed to the main body 22, and the main body 22 can be connected and fixed to the second locking block 53, thereby enabling the second locking block 53 to lock the toy shell 3.

[0091] When the spring plate 41 rotates to the second position, the spring plate 41 abuts against the first locking block 52, causing the first locking block 52 to slide upward. The first locking block 52 disengages from the slide plate 51, and the slide plate 51 drives the second locking block 53 to slide forward, causing the second locking block 53 to separate from the main body 22.

[0092] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5-9 As shown, the locking mechanism 5 also includes a locking rod 54 capable of locking the slide plate 51 and a connecting spring 55 connected to the locking rod 54. The locking rod 54 is slidably connected to the toy base 1. When the toy base 1 pops up, the locking rod 54 connects to the slide plate 51, locking the slide plate 51. When the toy base 1 lands, the locking rod 54 separates from the slide plate 51, and the slide plate 51 can slide.

[0093] Specifically, the first locking block 52 and the locking lever 54 form a double lock on the slide plate 51. When the spring plate 41 is in the second position, although the first locking block 52 releases the slide plate 51, it still locks the slide plate 51. This ensures that the transforming part 2 cannot deform when the toy base 1 is in the air. When the toy base 1 lands, the ground abuts against the locking lever 54, pushing the locking lever 54 to move and release the slide plate 51. At this time, the slide plate 51 drives the second locking block 53 to move, allowing the transforming part to deform. This design prevents the transforming part 2 from affecting the center of gravity of the transforming toy 10 during air deformation, thus preventing the transforming toy 10 from landing smoothly.

[0094] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5-9As shown, the locking lever 54 includes a first lever portion 541 and a second lever portion 542 connected to the first lever portion 541. The diameter of the second lever portion 542 is larger than the diameter of the first lever portion 541. The slide plate 51 is provided with a first through hole 511 that can slide with the first lever portion 541 and a second through hole 512 that can slide with the second lever portion 542. The first through hole 511 and the second through hole 512 communicate with each other, and the width of the first through hole 511 is smaller than the width of the second through hole 512.

[0095] Specifically, the toy base 1 has a vertical connecting hole, and the locking rod 54 engages with the connecting hole, allowing it to slide vertically relative to the toy base 1. The locking rod 54 includes a first rod portion 541 and a second rod portion 542. The second rod portion 542 is connected above the first rod portion 541, and a connecting spring 55 is connected above the second rod portion 542. The diameter of the first rod portion 541 is smaller than the diameter of the second rod portion 542. The slide plate 51 has a first through hole 511 and a second through hole 512 that communicate with each other. The width of the first through hole 511 matches the width of the first rod portion 541, and the width of the second through hole 512 matches the width of the second rod portion 542. When the locking rod 54 locks the slide plate 51, the first rod portion 541 extends out from the bottom of the toy base 1, and the second rod portion 542 engages with the second through hole 512. At this time, because the diameter of the second rod portion 542 is larger than the width of the first through hole 511, the slide plate 51 is locked. After the toy base 1 falls to the ground, the locking lever 54 slides upward. The first lever 541 slides into the second through hole 512 first, and the second lever 542 leaves the second through hole 512. At this time, the slide plate 51 is no longer restricted and continues to slide. When sliding, the first lever 541 cooperates with the first through hole 511.

[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5-9 As shown, a rotatable pressure plate 56 is connected to the bottom of the toy base 1. The pressure plate 56 is connected to the locking rod 54 so that the locking rod 54 can slide. When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, the spring plate 41 presses against the pressure plate 56 and is located below the pressure plate 56.

[0097] Specifically, the locking mechanism 5 also includes a pressure plate 56, which is rotatably connected to the bottom of the toy base 1. The pressure plate 56 is located below and in contact with the locking lever 54. When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, the spring plate 41 presses upward against the pressure plate 56, and the pressure plate 56 presses upward against the locking lever 54. When the spring plate 41 rotates to the second position, the pressure plate 56 rotates to tilt downward, thus facilitating contact between the pressure plate 56 and the ground. After the toy base 1 lands, the ground contacts the pressure plate 56, and the pressure plate 56 presses upward against the locking lever 54. The pressure plate 56 can more reliably press the locking lever 54, causing the locking lever 54 to release the slide plate 51.

[0098] The following is a specific embodiment of this application.

[0099] like Figure 1-9As shown, the transforming toy 10 includes a toy base 1, a toy shell 3, a transforming part 2, a linkage mechanism 21, a pop-up mechanism 4, a locking mechanism 5, and an external trigger 6. For better illustration, the horizontal direction of the ground is taken as the front-back direction, and the vertical direction perpendicular to the ground is taken as the up-down direction.

[0100] The entire transforming toy 10 is shaped like a car, with the toy base 1 forming the lower part of the car body and the toy shell 3 forming the upper part. The transforming part 2 is shaped like a robot, with the main body 22 forming the torso, the first transforming part 23 forming the legs, and the second transforming part 24 forming the hands. The bottom of the first transforming part 23 is rotatably connected to the toy base 1, and the top of the first transforming part 23 is rotatably connected to the main body 22 via a shaft. The second transforming part 24 is located on one side of the main body 22 and is connected to the main body 22 via a swing rod 241. One end of the swing rod 241 is rotatably connected to the main body 22, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second transforming part 24.

[0101] The linkage mechanism 21 includes a driving member 213, a first linkage member 211, and a second linkage member 212. The driving member 213 is a double-sided rack with a first tooth 2131 and a second tooth 2132, and is slidably connected to the main body 22. The toy shell 3 is rotatably connected to the main body 22 via a first connecting shaft 31. A first gear 32 is connected to the first connecting shaft 31, and the first gear 32 meshes with the first tooth 2131. A shell torsion spring is connected to the first connecting shaft 31 to provide power for the automatic rotation of the toy shell 3. The first linkage member 211 includes a second connecting shaft 2111 and a second gear 2112. The second connecting shaft 2111 is connected to the first deformable body 23, and the second gear 2112 is connected to the second connecting shaft 2111 and meshes with the second tooth 2132. The second linkage 212 includes a sliding rod 2121 and a connecting rod 2122. The sliding rod 2121 is slidably connected to the main body 22, and the connecting rod 2122 is rotatably connected to the main body 22 and located above the sliding rod 2121. Both ends of the connecting rod 2122 are free to move. One end of the sliding rod 2121 is connected to the driving member 213, and the other end is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 2122. The other end of the connecting rod 2122 is hinged to the second deformable body 24. A locking block 2123 is connected to the sliding rod 2121, and the inner surface of the toy shell 3 has a hook 33 that can engage with the locking block 2123.

[0102] The toy shell 3 can be opened and closed, and the transforming part 2 can be stored and unfolded. When the toy shell 3 is closed, it is engaged and fixed to the main body 22 with the locking block 2123, and contacts the toy base 1 to form a toy cavity. The transforming part 2 is stored in the toy cavity, and the main body 22 is engaged and fixed to the toy base 1. When the toy shell 3 is opened, the transforming part 2 separates from the toy base 1. At the same time, the toy shell 3 separates from the main body 22, triggering the linkage mechanism 21 to drive the first transforming body 23 and the second transforming body 24 to move, causing the transforming part 2 to unfold.

[0103] The process of transforming part 2 switching from the unfolded state to the stowed state is as follows: the toy shell 3 rotates in the opposite direction, that is, it rotates towards the main body 22. The first gear 32 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the driving member 213 to slide downward. The driving member 213 simultaneously drives the second gear 2112 to rotate forward and causes the sliding rod 2121 to slide downward. When the second gear 2112 rotates forward, the first transforming body 23 rotates towards the toy base 1. When the sliding rod 2121 slides downward, the second transforming body 24 moves towards the main body 22. When the toy shell 3 is engaged with the main body 22, and the main body 22 is engaged with the toy base 1, the transforming part 2 folds and is stowed inside the toy cavity.

[0104] The process of transforming part 2 switching from the stowed state to the unfolded state is as follows: the main body 22 first separates from the toy base 1, and the first transforming body 23 rotates away from the toy base 1. At this time, the second gear 2112 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the driving member 213 to drive the sliding rod 2121 to move upward a short distance. After the sliding rod 2121 slides upward, it causes the locking block 2123 to separate from the hook 33 of the toy shell 3. The toy shell 3 is released and rotates forward under the action of the shell torsion spring, that is, it rotates away from the main body 22. At this time, the first gear 32 rotates forward, causing the driving member 213 to slide downward, thereby accelerating the rotation of the second gear 2112 and the sliding rod 2121, causing the first transforming body 23 to rotate quickly away from the toy base 1 and the second transforming body 24 to move quickly away from the main body 22, thus transforming part 2 unfolds quickly.

[0105] The spring-loaded mechanism 4 and the locking mechanism 5 are mounted on the toy base 1. The spring-loaded mechanism 4 includes a spring plate 41, a rotating shaft 42, a torsion spring 43, a connecting gear 44, a locking block 45, a telescopic spring 46, and a trigger plate 47. The spring plate 41 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the toy base 1 via the rotating shaft 42. The torsion spring 43 is connected to the rotating shaft 42, and the connecting gear 44 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 42. The trigger plate 47 is located above the spring plate 41 and is slidably connected to the toy base 1. A mounting groove is provided at the bottom of the trigger plate 47, located behind the rotating shaft 42. The locking block 45 is slidably connected in the mounting groove, and the telescopic spring 46 is connected in the mounting groove, located behind the locking block 45, and connected to the locking block 45. The front end of the trigger plate 47 is the trigger end, which can be triggered by an external triggering element 6.

[0106] The process of the pop-up mechanism 4 lifting the toy seat 1 is as follows: Initially, the spring plate 41 is in the first position, at which point the locking block 45 is engaged with the connecting gear 44. As the toy seat 1 approaches the external trigger 6, the external trigger 6 collides with the trigger plate 47, causing the trigger plate 47 to slide backward. The trigger plate 47 then moves the locking block 45 backward, separating it from the connecting gear 44. At this point, the spring plate 41 is released, and under the action of the torsion spring 43, the spring plate 41 rotates from the first position to the second position. During this process, the spring plate 41 contacts the ground, allowing the toy seat 1 to rise into the air. After the toy seat 1 is airborne, the spring plate 41 continues to rotate to the second position. After the spring plate 41 rotates to the second position, the telescopic spring 46 pushes the locking block 45 to re-engage with the connecting gear 44.

[0107] During the process of the operating spring plate 41 returning from the second position to the first position, the rotating shaft 42 drives the connecting gear 44 to rotate. The teeth of the connecting gear 44 abut against the locking block 45 and move it backward. The locking block 45 leaves the tooth groove and compresses the telescopic spring 46. When it rotates to the next tooth groove and aligns with the locking block 45, the telescopic spring 46 pushes the locking block 45, so that the locking block 45 engages with the tooth groove.

[0108] The locking mechanism 5 includes a sliding plate 51, a first locking block 52, a second locking block 53, a locking rod 54, a connecting spring 55, and a pressure plate 56. The sliding plate 51 is slidably connected to the toy base 1. The first locking block 52 is slidably connected to the toy base 1 and can slide up and down. The bottom of the first locking block 52 extends downward out of the toy base 1. The second locking block 53 is connected to the sliding plate 51, and the top of the second locking block 53 extends upward out of the toy base 1. The first locking block 52 can engage with the sliding plate 51, and the second locking block 53 can engage with the main body 22.

[0109] A first through hole 511 and a second through hole 512 communicating with the first through hole 511 are provided on the slide plate 51. The first through hole 511 is located behind the second through hole 512. A locking rod 54 is slidably connected to the toy base 1 and can slide up and down. The locking rod 54 includes a first rod portion 541 and a second rod portion 542. The second rod portion 542 is connected above the first rod portion 541, and a connecting spring 55 is connected above the second rod portion 542. The diameter of the first rod portion 541 is smaller than the diameter of the second rod portion 542. A pressure plate 56 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the toy base 1 and is located below the first rod portion 541.

[0110] When the spring plate 41 is in the first position, it presses upward against the pressure plate 56, which in turn presses upward against the locking lever 54, fitting snugly against the bottom of the toy base 1. When the spring plate 41 leaves the first position, the pressure plate 56 is no longer restrained, and the connecting spring 55 pushes the locking lever 54, which in turn pushes the pressure plate 56. At this time, the pressure plate 56 is tilted, with the first lever 541 extending downward from the toy base 1 and the second lever 542 located within the second through hole 512. At this time, the slide plate 51 is locked by the first locking block 52 and the second lever 542. When the spring plate 41 rotates to the second position, it pushes the first locking block 52 upward, separating it from the slide plate 51. At this time, the slide plate 51 is only locked by the second lever 542. After the toy base 1 lands, the pressure plate 56 contacts the ground, rotates upward, and pushes the locking lever 54 upward, causing the second lever 542 to leave the second through hole 512, and the slide plate 51 is completely released. The slide plate 51 slides forward, causing the second locking block 53 to separate from the main body 22. An elastic element is connected to the rear of the slide plate 51 to push the slide plate 51 to slide.

[0111] In summary, this invention discloses a transforming toy 10, including a toy base 1, a transforming component 2 movably connected to the toy base 1, and a toy shell 3 movably connected to the transforming component 2. The transforming component 2 includes a linkage mechanism 21 and at least two transforming bodies. The linkage mechanism 21 is connected to each transforming body, and the toy shell 3 is movably connected to the linkage mechanism 2. The transforming component 2 has an unfolded state and a retracted state. When the transforming component 2 is in the unfolded state, each transforming body moves to the outside of the toy shell 3. When the transforming component 2 is in the retracted state, the toy shell 3 drives the linkage mechanism 21 to move each transforming body simultaneously, and all transforming bodies move into the toy cavity formed by the toy shell 3 and the toy base 1. When operating the toy shell 3, the transforming toy 10 can move each transforming body simultaneously through the linkage structure, thus facilitating the transformation toy 10 to return to the retracted state after unfolding. The entire operation is simpler and more convenient, improving the play experience.
