[0032] This invention provides a children's toy conversational robot, such as... Figure 1-9As shown, the system includes a frame 1, a sphere 2 inside the frame 1, a display screen 21 and an operation panel 22 are fixedly installed on the front of the sphere 2, a camera 23 is fixedly installed on the front of the sphere 2, motors 3 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the sphere 2, a sliding groove 25 is opened on the surface of the sphere 2, one end of the motor 3 slides in the sliding groove 25, and the other end of the motor 3 is welded to the frame 1.
[0033] The motor 3 engages with the slide groove 25 of the ball 2 at its end, allowing it to rotate sideways, and the motor 3 can also drive the ball 2 to flip back and forth. This achieves the effect that the ball 2 can rotate around its center in all directions.
[0034] The sphere 2 has a storage chamber inside, and a channel 4 is welded inside the storage chamber. The upper end of the channel 4 extends vertically to the outside of the sphere 2, the center of the channel 4 bends, and the lower end of the channel 4 extends from the back of the sphere 2. The channel 4 can hold the image recognition card set.
[0035] A picture recognition module 5 is fixedly installed inside the storage room and in front of the channel 4. The picture recognition module 5 is electrically connected to the display screen 21 and is also electrically connected to a voice module. An opening 41 is provided on the front of the channel 4 opposite to the picture recognition module 5. When a set of picture recognition cards is placed into the channel 4, the picture recognition module 5 recognizes the pattern, English letters, Chinese characters, etc. on the top of the card and makes a voice broadcast.
[0036] A substrate 42 is welded inside the channel 4 and at the bend. A pressure plate 44 is placed on the substrate 42. A medium electric push rod 43 is fixedly installed in the storage chamber. The movable end of the medium electric push rod 43 passes through the channel 4 and is welded to the back of the pressure plate 44. A rotating roller 45 driven by a motor is fixedly installed in the opening 41.
[0037] A gap 46 is provided between the front end of the substrate 42 and the front side of the inner wall of the channel 4, allowing only one image recognition card to pass through at a time. After each card is recognized, the roller 46 rotates, passing the recognized card through the gap 46. During this period, the push rod 43 continuously pushes the pressure plate 44 toward the opening 41 to prevent the card from loosening and automatically sliding out of the gap 46, thus achieving the purpose of card containment.
[0038] Holes 26 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the sphere 2 and on both sides of the slide groove 25. A slider 31 is welded to one end of the motor 3 facing the sphere 2. The slider 31 slides in conjunction with the slide groove 25. The cross-sections of the slide groove 25 and the slider 31 are both cubic, which makes it convenient for the motor 3 to drive the sphere 2 to rotate.
[0039] A small electric actuator 32 is connected to the drive shaft of motor 3. The movable end of the small electric actuator 32 is aligned with the hole 26. A beam receiver 33 is fixedly installed on the movable end of the small electric actuator 32. A beam emitter 8 is fixedly installed inside the hole 26. When the beam emitter 33 and the beam receiver 8 are aligned, the small electric actuator 32 can be inserted into the hole 26 when it extends, thus fixing the sphere 2.
[0040] A balance ball 9 is embedded inside the sphere 2. The balance ball 9 is located directly below the center of the sphere. A sliding cavity 91 is opened inside the balance ball 9. The sliding cavity 91 is parallel to the horizontal plane. A trigger switch 92 is fixedly installed at the front end of the sliding cavity 91. A recess 93 is opened at the center of the bottom of the inner wall of the sliding cavity 91. A ball bearing 94 is placed in the recess 93. A large electric push rod 10 is embedded diagonally below the front of the sphere 2. The trigger switch 92 is electrically connected to the large electric push rod 10.
[0041] When the toy robot tilts forward, the ball bearing 94 contacts the trigger switch 92, causing the large electric push rod 10 to extend and prevent the toy robot from tilting forward.
[0042] The microcontroller 6 and battery 7 are fixedly installed in the storage chamber of sphere 2. The microcontroller 6 and battery 7 are electrically connected to various electronic components. The microcontroller 6 is used to control the operation of the electronic components.
[0043] The frame 1 consists of two hoops 11, multiple arc strips 12, two fixing rings 13 and a plastic rod 14. The two frames 1 are arranged vertically. The two arc strips 12 are located on the left and right sides of the hoops 11 respectively. The hoops 11 and the fixing rings 13 are welded together by the arc strips 12. The plastic rod 14 is arranged in a circle and passes through the arc strips 12.
[0044] The motor 3 is fixedly installed inside the fixing ring 13.
[0045] The upper end of the tablet 44 is slanted to facilitate the insertion of the image recognition card group.
[0046] A pressure block 47 extends into the upper end of channel 4, causing the image recognition card assembly to move closer to the substrate 42.
[0047] A cover 24 is fixedly installed on the front of the sphere 2. The cover 24 can extend into the sphere 2. When the cover 24 extends out, it covers the display screen 21, thereby protecting the display screen 21.
[0048] In summary, this children's toy interactive robot, composed of a hoop 11, an arc strip 12, a fixing ring 13, and a plastic rod 14, forms a spherical frame 1. A sphere 2 is placed inside the frame 1 to increase the robot's resistance to impacts. The sphere 2 contains an image recognition module 5, a voice module, and a channel 4. The channel 4 is further equipped with a base plate 42, a pressure plate 44, and a rotating roller 45, continuously feeding single cards for image recognition and voice broadcasting, thus serving as a learning tool for young children. The sphere 2 can rotate forward, backward, left, and right through a sliding groove 25 and a motor 3, preventing the toy from tipping over and failing to catch the child.
