They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] A bridge type LED digital display toy, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it includes a bridge structure, which includes a main beam frame 5, a bridge tower body 4, a base 2 and side frames 1 on both sides. A number of detachable and replaceable modular display units 3 are provided between the side frames 1 on both sides and above the main beam frame 5. The display unit 3 includes a number of acrylic panels 9 with engravings, a PCB board 12 arranged in the bridge tower body 4 and an RGB light module 13 installed on the PCB board 12 and capable of irradiating light to the acrylic panel 9. The RGB light module 13 and the PCB board 12 are divided into a number of light control zones according to the position of the acrylic panel 9. The base 2 is provided with a control panel for controlling the light control zone operation of the PCB board 12 and the RGB light module 13.

[0039] The control board adopts a WIFI serial port module of model ESP8266, which has an internal integrated MCU and can be used for programming. The data captured by the network can be converted into corresponding parameters for programming to manipulate the light control partition and control the RGB light module 13 of the corresponding light control partition to turn on and off.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the acrylic plate 9 is detachably connected to the bridge tower body 4 through the connecting seat 8, and the connecting seat 8 can be slid downward from the top of the bridge tower body 4 and fastened. The connecting seat 8 is provided with several rows of staggered inlays 11, and the inlays 11 are all arranged at the positions corresponding to the light-controlled partitions. Adjacent acrylic plates 9 are staggered according to the arrangement of the inlays 11 and are provided with inlays 10 that can be engaged with the inlays 11. When a certain light-controlled partition is operated by the control panel to make the RGB light module 13 of the area light up, the light emitted by the RGB light module 13 shines on the acrylic plate 9 on the light-controlled partition through the inlay 11 at that location, making the acrylic plate 9 transparent and luminous and making the engraving appear outlined, thereby displaying the image.

[0041] The display unit 3 is preset with several modes, and the control panel is equipped with a switch 6 that can switch the light control partition of the RGB light module 13 to adapt to different modes of the display unit 3. The switch 6 can be a five-way joystick, such as Figure 9 Shown is a connection circuit diagram of a five-way joystick, which is used to switch the display unit 3 to adapt to different preset modes.

[0042] Adjacent control boards are connected via a magnetic PIN connector 7 provided on the main beam frame 5, and data transmission and power supply are performed via the magnetic PIN connector 7, thereby concealing circuit wiring and achieving aesthetics.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] A method for manufacturing a bridge-shaped LED digital display toy, the manufacturing method is as follows:

[0045] S1. The parts of the bridge structure are produced and processed using a CNC engraving machine. The acrylic plate 9 of the display unit 3 is laser cut according to the outline of the bridge structure, and the area to be displayed is engraved according to the engraved outline. The copper foil is made into a substrate according to the designed circuit. The substrate is photo-painted according to the designed circuit pattern, and then etched, drilled and cut into a PCB board 12.

[0046] In S1, the bridge structure, except for the side frame 1, is made of 3203 aluminum alloy, which is frosted and anodized. The side frame 1 is made of PC board and is UV coated. The frosted and anodized 3203 aluminum alloy has a good metallic luster and corrosion resistance, which not only improves the hand feel but also has a texture. The PC board has high transparency and light transmittance, which allows the image of the acrylic board 9 to be easily observed from the side of the bridge structure.

[0047] S2, according to the design circuit and the light control partition design area, the RGB light module 13, the control board, the switch 6 and the other electronic components and the PCB board 12 are welded to assemble the bridge structure, such as Figure 5 As shown, the PCB board 12 and the control board are hidden in the bridge tower body 4 and the base 2 respectively, as shown in FIG. Figure 7and Figure 8 , which is a circuit diagram of the PCB board 12;

[0048] In S2, the thickness of the acrylic plate 9 is 3 mm, and the thickness of the engraved marks on the acrylic plate 9 is 1 mm. During engraving, the surface is covered with a kraft paper protective film, which is then removed after engraving using a CNC engraving machine. This thickness ensures that the engraving on the acrylic plate 9 is fully visible when illuminated by the RGB light module 13, showing the engraved outline pattern.

[0049] S3, the acrylic panels 9 of the display units 3 in different modes are matched and installed on the connecting base 8 of the corresponding mode, the connecting base 8 with the acrylic panels 9 is installed on the bridge tower, and the control panel is connected to the magnetic PIN connector 7 of the main beam frame 5, and the production is completed.

[0050] Example 3: Figure 10 and Figure 11 The following is a program design diagram for pattern programming.

[0051] Examples of the use of several different modes of display unit 3:

[0052] Mode 1, display time mode, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this mode, the acrylic plate 9 of the display unit 3 is engraved with numbers arranged in sequence from 0 to 9. The control board obtains target information (network time) through WIFI communication networking for synchronization. The program is set to convert the obtained target information into the on and off of each RGB light module 13. The on and off of the RGB light module 13 can illuminate the acrylic plate 9 engraved with different numbers to achieve the effect of displaying numbers;

[0053] Mode 2 is countdown mode. In this mode, the engraving of the acrylic plate 9 of the display unit 3 is the same as that of mode 1, but the programming of the control board is changed. By setting a period of time, the RGB light module 13 turns on and off to display the countdown digital changes.

[0054] Mode three, animation mode, such as Figure 6 As shown, in this mode, the acrylic plate 9 of the display unit 3 can be engraved with a set of static images arranged frame by frame with animation effects, and the programming setting is that the static image switching time of each RGB light module 13 is 1 / 24s, and the characteristics of the residual vision of the human eye are used to achieve the effect of playing continuous animation actions.
