Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of toys, and more particularly to a shape-matching electric toy. Background Art

[0002] In the field of toy manufacturing, electric toys are popular among consumers because they can simulate various movements and forms. Traditional electric toys, especially shape-matching electric toys, often use a straight-forward transmission method for the movement of the limbs, that is, the axis around which the limbs rotate is perpendicular to the toy's body. Although this transmission method is simple and direct, the movements made are stiff and unnatural, and the postures clearly have the stiffness of mechanical parts, making it difficult to truly simulate the natural movements of animals.

[0003] Specifically, traditional emulation electric toys usually include a body, a head, a tail, and limbs. A power device is installed in the body, and the power device is connected to the limbs through a transmission mechanism to drive the limbs to move. However, the matching methods adopted by these transmission mechanisms are all full meshing or multi-component linkage, which are either complex in structure or simple in action, resulting in limited movement trajectory of the limbs, which can only perform simple linear or circular motions. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to address the above defects and shortcomings by realizing arc motion of the movable part through incomplete meshing of gears in the transmission mechanism and a certain angle. Based on this, the present invention provides a contour-like electric toy.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the specific technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] The profile electric toy of the present invention comprises a movable part and a power device, wherein the power device is drivably connected to the movable part through a transmission mechanism, and the power device provides power, which is transmitted to the movable part through the transmission mechanism to drive the movable part to move;

[0007] The transmission mechanism comprises a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear, wherein the first bevel gear is transmission-connected to the power device, and the first bevel gear is driven by the power device to rotate; the second bevel gear is connected to the movable part, and the second bevel gear is used to drive the movable part to move;

[0008] The second bevel gear and the first bevel gear are relative to each other at a certain angle and are only partially meshed with each other.

[0009] Preferably, the relative angle between the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear is in the range of 5-60°.

[0010] Preferably, the second bevel gear is provided with a shaft sleeve, the shaft sleeve is provided with a key hole, the movable part is provided with a key corresponding to the key hole, and the key is engaged and connected with the key hole.

[0011] Preferably, the movable part is connected to the second bevel gear through a connecting part, and the movable part includes a rotating wall and a connecting through hole arranged on the rotating wall;

[0012] The key passes through the connecting through hole and is connected with the shaft sleeve, and the root of the movable part is in contact with the rotating wall and rotates and swings.

[0013] Preferably, a limiting protrusion is provided on the rotating wall, and the movable part is provided with a semi-annular limiting groove corresponding to the limiting protrusion, the limiting protrusion is engaged with the limiting groove, and the limiting protrusion can slide along an arc in the limiting groove.

[0014] Preferably, the lifelike electric toy further comprises a body portion, the movable portion is connected to the body portion, and the movable portion comprises a head portion, a tail portion and / or limb portions.

[0015] Preferably, the limb part includes forelimbs and hind limbs, and the forelimbs and hind limbs are connected to the power device through a transmission mechanism, and the motor includes a first motor and a second motor corresponding to the forelimbs and hind limbs respectively.

[0016] Preferably, the power device comprises a gearbox, a motor and a gear set, the gearbox is fixedly mounted inside the body, the motor is mounted on the gearbox, and the transmission mechanism is transmission-connected to the motor via the gear set.

[0017] Preferably, a battery compartment is provided inside the body portion.

[0018] Preferably, the lifelike electric toy comprises a body portion, and the power device is installed inside the body portion.

[0019] Preferably, the side portion of the body portion is an arc-shaped surface.

[0020] Preferably, the body portion is configured as a shell.

[0021] Preferably, a neck is provided between the head and the body.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The transmission mechanism of the present invention includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The first bevel gear is connected to the power device and can move synchronously; the second bevel gear is connected to the limb part and is used to drive the limb part to move. It is important that the second bevel gear is partially meshed with the first bevel gear at a certain angle relative to each other. This partial meshing method enables the second bevel gear to rotate at a certain tilt angle, thereby driving the limb part connected to the second bevel gear to move in a non-straight-forward manner.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the movements of the present invention are more realistic and natural: due to the partial meshing transmission mode of the bevel gear, the limbs can move in a manner inclined to the body, which is more in line with the body posture of real animals.

[0025] The transmission mechanism of the present invention has no additional transmission components, and realizes the non-straightforward movement of the limbs with a structure as simple as possible.

[0026] The relative angle between the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear can be set according to the shape of the animal to be imitated, so that the toy of the present invention can simulate the movements and postures of various animals.

[0027] The parts that perform actions can be not only the limbs, but similar structures can also be used for other movable parts of the toy, such as the head and tail, to achieve richer action effects.

[0028] Taking a cat as an example, the toy of the present invention is in the shape of a cat, with a head of a cat, a tail of a cat, an oval body, short limbs, and cat paws and cat palms. By adjusting the angle of the bevel gear and the setting of the transmission mechanism, the toy can realize a variety of action postures such as sitting, running, jumping, and standing, which more realistically simulates the natural behavior of a cat.

[0029] In summary, the lifelike electric toy of the present invention is superior to the prior art in terms of action fidelity, structural simplicity, design flexibility and application scope, and has broad market prospects and application value.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] The present invention is further explained and illustrated by specific implementation modes below. It should be understood that the purpose of the following implementation modes is to make the technical solution of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, and does not limit the protection scope of the claims.

[0048] The present invention will be further described below by means of specific examples.

[0049] Example

[0050] This embodiment provides a prototyping electric toy, such as Figure 1 , 5-8, comprises a body portion 10, a head portion 20, a tail portion 30, and a limb portion 40. A power device 50 is installed in the body portion 10, and the power device 50 and the limb portion 40 are transmission-connected via a transmission mechanism 60. The power device 50 provides power, which is transmitted to the limb portion 40 via the transmission mechanism 60 to drive the limb portion 40 to move.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the transmission mechanism 60 includes a first bevel gear 61 and a second bevel gear 62. The first bevel gear 61 is connected to the power device 50. The first bevel gear 61 and the power device 50 can move synchronously, and the first bevel gear 61 is driven by the power device 50 to rotate; the second bevel gear 62 is connected to the limb part 40, and the second bevel gear 62 is used to drive the limb part 40 to move; the second bevel gear 62 is partially meshed with the first bevel gear 61 at a certain angle relative to each other.

[0052] It should be noted that the partial engagement here can also be understood as incomplete engagement, that is, only some of the teeth of the first bevel gear 61 and the second bevel gear 62 cooperate with each other, so that the second bevel gear 62 can rotate at a certain inclination angle, and then the limb part 40 connected to the second bevel gear 62 can move in a non-straight-forward manner, that is, tilted to the body part 10, rather than perpendicular to the body part 10, to make a movement.

[0053] In the prior art, the movements of the limbs 40 are straight forward, that is, the axis around which the limbs 40 rotate is perpendicular to the trunk 10, and the movements are stiff and unnatural, and the stiffness of the mechanical parts can be clearly seen in the posture. In the present application, because the second bevel gear 62 is inclined to the first bevel gear 61, and the two are not fully meshed, without adding additional transmission parts, the non-straight forward movement of the limbs 40 is achieved with the simplest possible structure, which can also be understood as a tilted side-swinging movement, and the movements made are more realistic, natural, and in line with the body posture of real animals.

[0054] In the present application, the toy is in the shape of a cat, the head 20 is a cat head, the tail 30 is a cat tail, the body 10 is oval in shape, the limbs 40 are short, and are provided with cat paws and cat palms; the action postures that can be realized include sitting, climbing, running, jumping, standing, and handstand.

[0055] Specifically, the relative angle between the second bevel gear 62 and the first bevel gear 61 is in the range of 5-60°. The specific angle setting can be set according to the shape of the animal to be imitated. For example, cats have small movements and look cute, so the angle can be set in a smaller range, such as 5-15°; for another example, apes actually have a large movement range, with large openings and closings, so the angle can be set in a larger range, such as 15-30°; in some cases, the angle may exceed 30°. The actual angle needs to be set according to the movement posture of the animal to be imitated. Generally speaking, 5-60° covers the design requirements of most of the animals to be imitated.

[0056] Specifically, the power device 50 includes a gearbox 51 , a motor, and a gear set 52 . The gearbox 51 is fixedly installed inside the body 10 , the motor is installed on the gearbox 51 , and the transmission mechanism 60 is transmission-connected to the motor via the gear set 52 .

[0057] Specifically, the limb part 40 includes a front limb 41 and a hind limb 42, and the front limb 41 and the hind limb 42 are connected to the power device 50 through a transmission mechanism 60, and the motor includes a first motor 53 and a second motor 54 corresponding to the front limb 41 and the hind limb 42 respectively.

[0058] Specifically, a battery compartment 511 is provided inside the body portion 10 .

[0059] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the second bevel gear 62 is provided with a shaft sleeve 621, and the shaft sleeve 621 is provided with a key 43 position hole. The root of the limb part 40 is provided with a key 43 corresponding to the key 43 position hole. The key 43 is engaged and connected with the key 43 position hole to realize that the second bevel gear 62 drives the limb part 40 to move synchronously and perform an action.

[0060] Specifically, a neck 70 is provided between the head 20 and the body 10 .

[0061] Specifically, the side portion of the body portion 10 is an arc-shaped surface.

[0062] Specifically, the body portion 10 is configured as a shell.

[0063] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the limb part 40 is connected to the second bevel gear 62 through the connecting part 11, and the connecting part 11 includes a rotating wall 111 and a connecting through hole 112 arranged on the rotating wall 111; the key 43 of the limb part 40 passes through the connecting through hole 112 and is connected to the sleeve 621 of the second bevel gear 62, and the root of the limb part 40 rotates against the rotating wall 111 and performs a swinging motion.

[0064] Specifically, a limiting protrusion 113 is provided on the rotating wall 111 , and a semi-circular limiting groove 44 is provided on the limb portion 40 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 113 . The limiting protrusion 113 is engaged with the limiting groove 44 , and the limiting protrusion 113 can slide along an arc in the limiting groove 44 .

[0065] It is worth noting that although only the limbs 40 perform the action in this embodiment, a similar structure can also be used for other movable parts. For example, the head 20 can be connected to the power device 50 through a transmission mechanism 60 to achieve lateral tilting and swinging of the head 20, that is, to make a non-straight-forward movement similar to the limbs 40; for another example, the tail 30 can be connected to the power device 50 through a transmission mechanism 60 to make a similar swinging action; even, all movable parts such as the head 20, the tail 30, and the limbs 40 are connected to the power device 50 through a transmission mechanism 60, which is not an obstacle in specific implementation. This structure is applicable to the limb transmission of any animal toy, and all transmission structures and principles that are consistent with this application are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0066] The present invention is described by way of embodiments, but does not constitute a limitation to the present invention. With reference to the description of the present invention, other changes to the disclosed embodiments are easily conceivable to professionals in the field, and such changes should fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
