[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which show the wire structures of the first embodiment and the second embodiment in the present utility model. In the first embodiment, a wire structure with two ends 200 is provided, and the two ends 200 are connected by a linear flexible wire 110. In the second embodiment, a wire structure with three ends 200 is provided, and the three ends 200 are connected by a Y-shaped flexible wire 120. It can be understood that the ends 200 are used to detachably and electrically fix the wire structure to the module of the electrical toy.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 3 - 6 , taking the structure of the first embodiment as an example, the structure of the end 200 will be described. The end 200 includes a first cover 210 and a second cover 220, and a linear flexible wire 110 is clamped between the first cover 210 and the second cover 220. A fixing cavity 211 is formed on the first cover 210, and the second cover 220 is fixedly connected to the fixing cavity 211 through a rivet structure, that is, the first cover 210 and the second cover 220 are fixed through the rivet structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, an opening 212 for the linear flexible wire 110 to pass through and a connection port 213 for the rivet structure to pass through are formed on the fixing cavity 211, and a plurality of first clamping blocks 214 are sequentially arranged on the bottom wall of the fixing cavity 211 in the direction towards the opening 212. The first clamping blocks 214 are used to clamp the linear flexible wire 110 to prevent the linear flexible wire 110 from loosening and swaying. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the first clamping blocks 214 may not be provided on the fixing cavity 211.

[0031] An electrical connector 230 is further arranged on the first cover 210. The electrical connector 230 is electrically connected to the linear flexible wire 110 and is used for detachably contacting the conductive end of the module to achieve fixed conduction or separated power-off. In this embodiment, the electrical connector 230 is a conductive bump structure formed by a part of the rivet structure. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the electrical connector 230 may also be other conductive structures, such as a conductive plug, etc.

[0032] The shape of the second cover 220 is adapted to the fixing cavity 211. The second cover 220 includes a boss 221 and a positioning ring 222. The boss 221 and the positioning ring 222 are communicated through a through port 223, and the through port 223 is arranged corresponding to the opening 212. It can be understood that the linear flexible wire 110 is clamped between the first cover 210 and the boss 221, and the linear flexible wire 110 extends into the positioning ring 222 through the opening 212 and the through port 223, so that the linear flexible wire 110 can be electrically connected to the electrical connector 230.

[0033] In this embodiment, a plurality of second clamping blocks 224 are sequentially arranged on the bottom wall of the boss 221 corresponding to the through port 223. The second clamping blocks 224 and the first clamping blocks 214 cooperate to further clamp the flexible wire. In other embodiments of the present utility model, the second clamping blocks 224 may not be provided on the bottom wall of the boss 221.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rivet structure includes a riveting rod 231 and a fixing cap 232, and the riveting rod 231 and the fixing cap 232 are respectively arranged on two sides of the first cover 210 and the second cover 220. Among them, the riveting rod 231 is a conductive structure to form an electrical connector 230. The riveting rod 231 can be electrically connected to the linear flexible wire 110 in the positioning ring 222, and at least another part of the riveting rod 231 fixedly extends out of the first cover 210. Specifically, the riveting rod 231 includes a clamping head 2311 and a conductive head 2312. The clamping head 2311 can be deformed by turning outward or expanding outward under the action of force, and is used to cooperate with the fixing cap 232 to deform and clamp the first cover 210 and the second cover 220. The conductive head 2312 protrudes from the first cover 210. When the clamping head 2311 and the fixing cap 232 are deformed and clamped tightly, the conductive head 2312 is fixed on the outside of the first cover 210.

[0035] The fixing cap 232 passes through the positioning ring 222 and is adjacent to the boss 221, that is, the boss 221 is located outside the fixing cap 232. The fixing cap 232 is a non-conductive structure and a through channel 2321 is provided on the fixing cap 232. One end of the channel 2321 connected to the connection port 213 has an opening width that is the same as or approximately the same as that of the connection port 213, and is used to enable the clamping head 2311 to simultaneously pass through the connection port 213 and the opening at one end of the channel 2321. Then, after the clamping head 2311 is deformed by force, it can be in contact and clamped with the inner wall of the channel 2321, so as to realize the function of the rivet structure deforming and clamping the first cover 210 and the second cover 220. Specifically, after the clamping head 2311 is inserted into the connection port 213 and the channel 2321, it is deformed by force, and then the first cover 210, the second cover 220 and the fixing cap 232 are sequentially fastened, so as to fasten the first cover 210 and the second cover 220.

[0036] In other embodiments of the present invention, the rivet structure may also be provided with only the riveting rod 231. At this time, the riveting rod 231 is inserted into the first cover 210 and the second cover 220 in sequence and then deformed and clamped.

[0037] It can be understood that the rivet structure uses force deformation to fasten the first cover 210 and the second cover 220, replacing traditional fastening processes such as screws, adhesives, heat stamping, and welding, making the fastening process of the first cover 210 and the second cover 220 more convenient and fast, and with higher safety, which can effectively improve production efficiency. Moreover, the rivet structure can also form an electrical connector 230, without the need to additionally set other electrical connection structures, which can save assembly time and production costs.

[0038] It should be noted that the shape of the other end of the channel 2321 is adapted to the conductive head 2312, so that the two ends 200 can be detachably connected through the channel 2321 and the conductive head 2312. When any two wires are fixed through the channel 2321 and the conductive head 2312, the conductive heads 2312 on the two wires are in contact to achieve electrical connection through the linear flexible wire 110, and thus at least two wires can be conductively connected. Similarly, when the wire is detachably connected and cooperated with the module of the electrical toy through the channel 2321, the conductive head 2312 can be in contact with the conductive end of the module to achieve the purpose of fixed conduction. At the same time, when the channel 2321 and the conductive head 2312 of the same wire are fixed, it can also be used as a non-conductive connecting wire for fixedly connecting other structures that do not require conductive connection (such as external decorative parts, etc.) on the module of the electrical toy.

[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications; any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
