Description

Technical Field

[0022] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] The utility model discloses a worm-shaped toy, combined with Figures 1 to 6As shown, it includes a front shell 1, a middle shell 2 and a rear shell 3, the inner side of the front shell 1 is provided with a front inner shell 4, the inner side of the middle shell 2 is provided with a middle inner shell 5, and the inner side of the rear shell 3 is provided with a rear inner shell 6, the front inner shell 4, the middle inner shell 5 and the rear inner shell 6 are hinged in sequence, the front inner shell 4 is provided with a walking movement mechanism 7, the rear shell 3 is provided with a follower roller mechanism 8, the middle inner shell 5 is provided with a deformation driving mechanism 9 for driving the front inner shell 4 and the rear inner shell 6 to retract or extend relative to the middle inner shell 5, and the top two sides of the middle shell 2 are respectively formed with mutually symmetrical turning support angles 20, and the top surface of the turning support angle 20 is an arc surface.

[0024] In the above structure, the front shell 1, the middle shell 2 and the rear shell 3 are respectively covered on the front inner shell 4, the middle inner shell 5 and the rear inner shell 6, and the front inner shell 4, the middle inner shell 5 and the rear inner shell 6 are hinged in sequence to realize the basic worm-shaped structure, and the walking movement function is realized by using the walking movement mechanism 7 on the front inner shell 4 and the follower roller mechanism 8 on the rear shell 3. When the toy needs to be rolled up, the deformation drive mechanism 9 is controlled to move, thereby driving the front inner shell 4 to move. The front inner shell 4 and the rear inner shell 6 are rolled up relative to the middle inner shell 5, and vice versa, the front inner shell 4 and the rear inner shell 6 can be driven to extend relative to the middle inner shell 5. During the rolling process, since the utility model is respectively provided with mutually symmetrical turning support angles 20 on both sides of the top end of the middle shell 2, under the action of the top arc surface of the turning support angle 20, the rolled-up toy can be flipped to an upright posture, thereby automatically turning over to the initial posture without manual adjustment, which greatly improves the control experience and better meets the application requirements.

[0025] In this embodiment, the walking motion mechanism 7 includes two walking wheels 70 and a walking motor assembly 71 that drives the two walking wheels 70 to rotate. Specifically, the walking function of this embodiment includes: after turning over, the toy can move in all directions under the control of the remote control, including front, back, left front, right front, left back, right back, and slow left and right turns on the spot, etc. When turning, one of the two wheels turns forward and the other turns backward to achieve turning on the spot. For further information, please refer to Figure 2 The follower roller mechanism 8 is preferably two universal wheels.

[0026] Regarding the specific deformation principle, in the present embodiment, the deformation driving mechanism 9 includes a deformation motor 90 and a two-way gear assembly 91 which is transmission-connected to the deformation motor 90. A front transmission gear 92 is provided at the front end of the two-way gear assembly 91. The shaft of the front transmission gear 92 is fixedly matched with the front inner shell 4. A rear transmission gear 93 is provided at the rear end of the two-way gear assembly 91. The shaft of the rear transmission gear 93 is fixedly matched with the rear inner shell 6. The front transmission gear 92 and the rear transmission gear 93 at the front and rear ends of the two-way gear assembly 91 are driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the deformation motor 90. In practical applications, the initial form of the product can be regarded as a retracted form. When the insect-shaped toy is placed on a plane, the insect-shaped toy can be in a side-flipped and retracted form, such as Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the head and tail can be deformed outward synchronously by operating the remote control, completing a deformation from a rollover and retracted shape to an unfolded shape, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, alternating 1 to 3 times can achieve the turning function, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0027] In order to assist the movement during the deformation process, in the present embodiment, two front spherical rollers 11 are provided at the front end of the front section housing 1 , and a rear spherical roller 34 is provided at the rear end of the rear section housing 3 .

[0028] As a preferred method, see Figure 3 The top of the front shell 1 is provided with two front arc-shaped ribs 12 arranged side by side, the top of the middle shell 2 is provided with two middle arc-shaped ribs 21 arranged side by side, and the top of the rear shell 3 is provided with two rear arc-shaped ribs 31 arranged side by side. When the deformation driving mechanism 9 drives the front inner shell 4 and the rear inner shell 6 to roll up relative to the middle inner shell 5, the front arc-shaped ribs 12, the middle arc-shaped ribs 21 and the rear arc-shaped ribs 31 form a circular rib assembly. Among them, under the joint action of the front arc-shaped ribs 12, the middle arc-shaped ribs 21 and the rear arc-shaped ribs 31, the insect-shaped toy can be in a circular posture after rolling up, which is conducive to rolling forward and turning over to adjust the posture.

[0029] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 A first arc-shaped rib 22 is provided between the two middle arc-shaped ribs 21, and the front end of the first arc-shaped rib 22 is hingedly connected to the rear end of the front arc-shaped rib 12. A second arc-shaped rib 32 is provided between the two rear arc-shaped ribs 31, and the front end of the second arc-shaped rib 32 is hingedly connected to the rear end of the middle arc-shaped rib 21. The first arc-shaped rib 22 and the second arc-shaped rib 32 mainly play the role of empty space compensation. When the insect-shaped toy is rolled up to the shape of the insect-shaped toy, the first arc-shaped rib 22 and the second arc-shaped rib 32 are mainly used to compensate for the empty space. Figure 5 In the posture shown, there will be a space between two adjacent shells. At this time, the first arc-shaped rib 22 slides between the two middle arc-shaped ribs 21, and the second arc-shaped rib 32 slides between the two rear arc-shaped ribs 31, and finally is located between the two shells. At this time, the first arc-shaped rib 22, the second arc-shaped rib 32, the front arc-shaped rib 12, the middle arc-shaped rib 21 and the rear arc-shaped rib 31 together form a circular component. In actual applications, in order to make the first arc-shaped rib 22 and the second arc-shaped rib 32 attached to the middle shell 2 and the rear shell 3 respectively, a torsion spring can be set at the hinge position of the first arc-shaped rib 22 and the second arc-shaped rib 32.

[0030] In order to achieve a good transition between the top arc surface of the turning support angle 20 and the middle arc rib 21 and thus improve the turning effect, in the present embodiment, the two turning support angles 20 are respectively arranged on two middle arc ribs 21 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the front section housing 1 is formed with symmetrical front bionic support angles 10 on both sides, and the rear section housing 3 is formed with symmetrical rear bionic support angles 30 on both sides. The front bionic support angles 10 and the rear bionic support angles 30 are both downwardly curved arc-shaped support angles. In practical applications, since the turning support angles 20 are mainly used for turning over and rolling, in this embodiment, the extension length of the turning support angles 20 is greater than the extension lengths of the front bionic support angles 10 and the rear bionic support angles 30.

[0032] In the above structure, the curved shapes of the front bionic support angle 10 and the rear bionic support angle 30 are similar to the feet of reptiles, and mainly play the role of bionics and decoration.

[0033] This embodiment preferably uses a remote control for control. Specifically, a control panel 13 is provided in the front section shell 1, and the walking motion mechanism 7 and the deformation drive mechanism 9 are respectively electrically connected to the control panel 13. The control panel 13 is provided with a start button 14 and a remote control circuit that is wirelessly connected to a preset remote control.

[0034] Furthermore, a battery 33 is provided in the rear section housing 3 , and the battery 33 is electrically connected to the control board 13 .

[0035] Among them, this embodiment can be charged with a USB Type-C interface. The red indicator light is on during charging, and the light goes out when the power is fully charged. A full charge in half an hour can be used for 15-20 minutes of play. The remote control uses 3 No. 7 batteries in series. Regarding the power on and off method: the start button 14 of the insect-shaped toy is designed on the head. Press the start button 14 on the head and the blue indicator light will turn on and turn on. Press the start button 14 again in the power on state and the blue indicator light will go out and turn off.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the technical scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
