[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 10An intelligent virtual robot includes a shell 1 and a virtual imaging module disposed within the shell 1. The virtual imaging module has the same structure as that disclosed in CN218564984U. The shell 1 has a cover 2 at its upper end. The cover 2 contains a command input module 3, a sound module 4, and a lighting module 5. The command input module 3 is used to input commands to a control board to control the sound module 4 and the lighting module 5. The cover 2 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22 that are fixed together by threaded connection. The instruction input module 3 includes a circuit board 31 mounted on the lower cover 22 and an instruction input board 32 for inputting instructions to the circuit board 31. The instruction input board 32 can input instructions to the circuit board 31 by touch or pressing. A fixing plate 6 is provided on the lower cover 22. The sound module 4 is mounted on the upper side of the fixing plate 6, and the light module 5 is mounted on the lower side of the fixing plate 6. By mounting the sound module 4 and the light module 5 on the fixing plate 6, the structure is made more compact, reducing manufacturing costs. The sound module 4 is mounted on the upper side of the fixing plate 6. This design facilitates the transmission of sound from the vocal module 4 through the cover 2, reducing sound quality loss. Furthermore, a light-transmitting element 8 is provided between the edges of the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22, and a light-transmitting groove 215 is provided between the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22 to guide the light emitted by the light module 5 to the light-transmitting element 8. A gap exists between the outer side of the fixing plate 6 and the inner edge of the lower cover 22, and the light-transmitting groove 215 is located at this gap, allowing the light from the light module 5 to be displayed through the light-transmitting groove 215 and the light-transmitting element 8, thus enhancing the entertainment function of the intelligent virtual robot.

[0029] Specifically, the lower cover 22 has a limiting groove 221 at its center, and the circuit board 31 is disposed within the limiting groove 221. The limiting groove 221 has a limiting range on its outer side, and the circuit board 31 has a limiting protrusion on its outer side that cooperates with the limiting range. A rib 222 is provided on the lower cover 22 outside the limiting groove 221 to support the fixing plate 6, so that the fixing plate 6 surrounds the circuit board 31 and suspends it. This arrangement of the fixing plate 6 around the circuit board 31 avoids interference with the command input board 32. Simultaneously, the circuit board 31 is placed in a semi-suspended state, forming a light cavity 9 between the fixing plate 6 and the lower cover 22 that communicates with the light-transmitting groove 215. Furthermore, the inner side of the lower cover 22 is an inclined surface, allowing the light from the light module 5 to be reflected from the light cavity 9 into the light-transmitting groove 215 or directly projected into the light-transmitting groove 215, and then displayed on the light-transmitting element 8.

[0030] In this solution, the lighting module 5 includes a number of LED lights 51 arranged around the fixed plate 6. The LED lights 51 have multiple light emission states to enhance their lighting effect and improve their entertainment value.

[0031] In this solution, the vocal module 4 includes several vocal units 41 arranged around the fixed plate 6. Each vocal unit 41 includes a microphone and a speaker for receiving and playing vocals or adjusting the volume of the sound. The upper cover 21 is provided with through holes 211 corresponding to the positions of the vocal units 41, so that the vocal units 41 can receive clear sound quality or play more three-dimensional sound effects.

[0032] In this solution, the circuit board 31 includes a plurality of command input buttons 311 disposed thereon, and the command input board 32 includes a first button board 321 disposed on the upper cover 21 and capable of triggering the command input buttons 311, and a second button board 322 disposed inside the first button board 321 and capable of triggering the command input buttons 311. By triggering different command input buttons 311 through the first button board 321 and the second button board 322, corresponding commands are input to the control board, and the first button board 321 and the second button board 322 do not affect each other.

[0033] In this design, the upper cover 21 includes a first limiting hole 212 located at its center and a first positioning post 213 located at its bottom. The first button plate 321 is located within the first limiting hole 212. The outer side of the first button plate 321 is provided with at least two L-shaped first fixing arms 3211 that are rotationally symmetrical about the center of the first button plate 321. The extended ends of the first fixing arms 3211 are provided with first positioning holes 3212 that cooperate with the first positioning posts 213. The bottom of the first button plate 321 is provided with four first pressing posts 3213 that can trigger the command input button 311. The first pressing posts 3213 are respectively located in the four directions of front, back, left, and right at the bottom of the first button plate 321 and are rotationally symmetrical about the center of the first button plate 321. This avoids multiple triggering of the command input button 311 corresponding to the first button plate 321 when the first button plate 321 is touched, which would cause accidental touches and affect the user experience. In order to better fix the first button plate 321 to the upper cover 21, a positioning block 3217 is provided on the outer side of the first button plate 321, and a positioning groove 214 that cooperates with the positioning block 3217 is provided on the upper cover 21.

[0034] In this solution, the first button plate 321 includes a second limiting hole 3214 disposed thereon and a second positioning post 3215 disposed at its bottom. The second button plate 322 is disposed in the second limiting hole 3214. The outer side of the second button plate 322 is provided with at least two second fixed curved arms 3221 that are rotationally symmetrical about the center of the first button plate 321. At the same time, the extended end of the second fixed curved arm 3221 is provided with a second positioning hole 3222 that cooperates with the second positioning post 3215. The bottom of the second button plate 322 is provided with a second pressing post 3223 that can trigger the command input button 311.

[0035] In this solution, in order to clearly observe the input of commands through the first keypad 321 and the second keypad 322, an indicator light 312 is provided next to the command input button 311. At the same time, a light-transmitting hole 3216 corresponding to the position of the indicator light 312 is provided on the first keypad 321. Similarly, a light-transmitting hole or light-transmitting pattern corresponding to the position of the indicator light 312 can be provided on the second keypad 322 to facilitate observation by the user.

[0036] In this design, the side of the light-transmitting element 8 that mates with the lower cover 22 is a conical surface, and the side of the light-transmitting element 8 that mates with the upper cover 21 is a stepped platform. Additionally, the light-transmitting element 8 is provided with a positioning protrusion 81 that can be inserted into the light-transmitting groove 215, thereby enabling the light-transmitting element 8 to engage with the upper cover 21 and the lower cover 22.

[0037] In this design, to facilitate the fixed assembly of the cover 2 onto the housing 1, a number of elastic inserts 223 are provided at the bottom of the lower cover 22, and a buckle hole 11 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1 to engage with the elastic inserts 223. By engaging the inserts with the buckle hole 11, the cover 2 can be securely fixed onto the housing 1.

[0038] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
