[0023] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a toy device for simulating hair growth and shortening, comprising a toy body, a drive assembly, a transmission assembly 5, a rack 6, a sensor 7, and a control mainboard. The toy body comprises a head 1, a main body 2, and legs 3. The head 1, main body 2, and legs 3 are rotatably connected from top to bottom to form a receiving space for mounting the drive assembly, transmission assembly 5, and rack 6. An opening 101 communicating with the receiving space is formed on the head 1, and the sensor 7 is sleeved on the opening 101. One end of the rack 6 is connected to the hair via a connector 12, and the other end is transmission-connected to the drive assembly via the transmission assembly 5. The drive assembly and the sensor 7 are respectively electrically connected to the control mainboard.

[0025] Through the coordinated action of the toy body, the drive assembly, the transmission assembly 5, the rack 6, the sensor 7 and the control mainboard, the sensor 7 receives the signal of the external object and feeds it back to the control mainboard. The control mainboard controls the start of the drive assembly and transmits its power to the rack 6 through the transmission assembly 5, driving the rack 6 to move the hair, adjusting the length of the hair exposed on the head 1, achieving the effect of variable length of hair growth or cutting, increasing the fun of the toy and enhancing the player's sense of participation and experience during the play process.

[0026] As an optional embodiment, the drive assembly includes a motor 4, the transmission assembly 5 includes a transmission housing 51, and a transmission pulley component, a first transmission part 54, a second transmission part 55, a first transmission wheel 56 and a second transmission wheel 57 arranged in the transmission housing 51, the driving wheel 52 of the transmission pulley component is transmission-connected to the output shaft of the motor 4, the driven wheel 53 of the transmission pulley component is transmission-connected to the first transmission part 54, the first transmission part 54 is meshed with the second transmission part 55, the second transmission part 55 is transmission-connected to the first transmission wheel 56, the first transmission wheel 56 is meshed with the second transmission wheel 57, and the second transmission wheel 57 is meshed with the rack 6.

[0027] The motor 4 provides power to drive the driving wheel 52 to rotate, and the driving wheel 52 drives the driven wheel 53 to rotate through the transmission belt. The rotation of the driven wheel 53 is transmitted to the first transmission part 54. Since the first transmission part 54 is engaged with the second transmission part 55 for transmission, the rotation of the second transmission part 55 is transmitted to the first transmission wheel 56, which in turn drives the second transmission wheel 57 to rotate. Since the second transmission wheel 57 is engaged with the rack 6, the rack 6 is driven to move, and the hair connected to it is driven to move, thereby adjusting the length of the hair exposed outside the opening 101, thereby achieving the effect of variable length of hair growth or cutting.

[0028] Furthermore, the first transmission wheel 56 group includes a third transmission wheel, a fourth transmission wheel and a fifth transmission wheel arranged in sequence along the axial direction, and the second transmission wheel 57 group includes a sixth transmission wheel, a seventh transmission wheel and an eighth transmission wheel arranged in sequence along the axial direction. The third transmission wheel is engaged with the sixth transmission wheel, the fourth transmission wheel is engaged with the seventh transmission wheel, and the fifth transmission wheel is engaged with the eighth transmission wheel.

[0029] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a vertical guide rail 8 and an arc guide rail 9, which are used to provide a moving track for the rack 6; one end of the vertical guide rail 8 is connected to the transmission housing 51, and the other end extends to the opening 101, and one end of the arc guide rail 9 extends into the transmission housing 51, and the other end extends into the leg 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the vertical guide rail 8 is connected to the upper end surface of the transmission housing 51, and the arcuate guide rail 9 passes through the lower end surface of the transmission housing 51 and extends into the interior thereof. The rack 6 can smoothly transition from the vertical guide rail 8 to the arcuate guide rail 9 in the transmission housing 51.

[0031] The rack 6 moves in the vertical guide rail 8, and the vertical guide rail 8 can guide the movement of the rack 6 in the vertical direction. The rack 6 drives the hair to move and adjust the length exposed at the opening 101 to achieve the effect of growing or shortening the hair.

[0032] The rack 6 moves in the arcuate guide rail 9, which can guide the movement of the rack 6 in the arcuate direction, so that the rack 6 can enter the interior of the leg 3 for hiding or storage, thereby increasing the structural compactness and aesthetics of the toy.

[0033] As an optional embodiment, a guide wheel 58 is further included. The rack 6 has an abutment surface arranged opposite to its teeth. The guide wheel 58 abuts against the abutment surface and forms a guide channel with the second transmission wheel 57 to guide the rack 6 into the arc guide rail 9.

[0034] Furthermore, the guide wheel 58 is disposed opposite the second transmission wheel 57 and has a smooth outer wall. The guide wheel 58 serves to stabilize the motion trajectory of the rack 6 so that the rack 6 smoothly transitions from the vertical guide rail 8 to the arcuate guide rail 9 within the transmission housing 51.

[0035] Since the guide wheel 58 abuts against the abutting surface of the rack 6 and the second transmission wheel 57 engages with the teeth of the rack 6, the rack 6 can achieve a smooth transition from the vertical guide rail 8 to the arc guide rail 9 in the transmission housing 51, ensuring the continuity and stability of the movement of the rack 6.

[0036] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a first microswitch 10 and a second microswitch 11, and the trigger ends of the first microswitch 10 and the second microswitch 11 are both located on the moving path of the rack 6, and a first trigger block 61 is provided at the lower part of the abutting surface, and a hanging ring 121 is provided at the first end of the connecting member 12 for hanging hair; a second trigger block 122 is provided at the second end of the connecting member 12, and the first microswitch 10 and the second microswitch 11 are respectively electrically connected to the control main board; during the movement of the rack 6, the first trigger block 61 and the second trigger block 122 respectively abut the trigger ends of the first microswitch 10 and the second microswitch 11 to trigger the first microswitch 10 and the second microswitch 11.

[0037] Furthermore, the first trigger end 1001 of the first micro switch 10 extends into the arc guide rail 9. The second trigger end 1101 of the second micro switch 11 is disposed on the upper end surface of the transmission housing 51. The connecting member 12 is in sliding engagement with the vertical guide rail 8.

[0038] The first trigger block 61 corresponds only to the first micro switch 10 and is used to detect the upper limit of the movement of the rack 6. The second trigger block 122 corresponds only to the second micro switch 11 and is used to detect the lower limit of the movement of the rack 6.

[0039] When the first trigger block 61 abuts against the trigger end of the first microswitch 10, the first microswitch 10 is triggered, indicating that the rack 6 has reached the upper limit of its movement path and the hair is in the longest state, and sends a signal to the control main board to perform the corresponding operation.

[0040] When the second trigger block 122 abuts against the trigger end of the second micro switch 11, the rack 6 reaches its lower limit of movement, and the second micro switch 11 is triggered, indicating that the rack 6 has reached the lower limit of its movement path, and the hair is in the shortest state, and a signal is sent to the control main board to perform the corresponding operation.

[0041] When the rack 6 moves upward from the lower limit position to the upper limit position, the hair moves with the movement of the rack 6, gradually emerging from the opening 101 and reaching its longest state, simulating the process of hair growth. Conversely, when the rack 6 moves downward from the upper limit position to the lower limit position, the hair moves downward with the movement of the rack 6, gradually hiding in the opening 101, simulating the process of hair cutting.

[0042] The first micro switch 10 and the second micro switch 11 are common electronic switches in the prior art, which realize the on-off of the circuit by mechanical triggering, and their specific structures are not described in detail here.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, a comb 14 and a pair of scissors 15 are further included. An RFID card is set in the comb 14 and the scissors 15, and the RFID card is wirelessly connected to the RFID card reader of the sensor 7.

[0044] When the comb 14 approaches the sensor 7 of the head 1, the RFID card inside it approaches the RFID reader of the sensor 7. The sensor 7 receives the signal and transmits it to the control board. The control board controls the motor 4 to start forward or reverse rotation, driving the rack 6 to move the hair upward along the vertical guide rail 8, so that the hair gradually emerges from the opening 101 of the head 1, simulating the hair growth process.

[0045] Similarly, when the scissors 15 approach the sensor 7 of the head 1, the RFID card inside it will also be recognized by the RFID reader and transmitted to the control board. The control board controls the motor 4 to start reverse or forward rotation, driving the rack 6 to move the hair downward along the vertical guide rail 8, so that the hair gradually hides down into the opening 101, simulating the hair cutting process.

[0046] As an optional embodiment, a speaker is further included. The speaker is arranged in the main body 2. The main body 2 is provided with a speaker hole 201, and the speaker hole 201 is arranged corresponding to the speaker.

[0047] Furthermore, the speaker is mounted on the outer wall surface of the transmission housing 51 .

[0048] During the simulation of hair growth, the control board controls the speaker to play the sound of combing hair.

[0049] During the simulation of hair cutting, the control board controls the speaker to play the sound of the scissors 15 cutting hair.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, a control button 13 is further included. The control button 13 is arranged on the main body 2 and is electrically connected to the control main board.

[0051] Furthermore, the control button 13 includes a first button 131 corresponding to the hair growth process and a second button 132 corresponding to the hair cutting process, so that the player can directly press the corresponding button as needed to control the change in hair length. The operation is easy and simple, further enhancing the controllability and interactivity.
