The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Please also refer to Figure 1-6This embodiment provides a doll that generates both mechanical and electronic sounds, comprising a first portion 1 and a second portion 2 that are rotatably connected, and a sound-generating circuit installed within the first portion 1. In this embodiment, the first portion 1 is the body, and the second portion 2 is the head. In other embodiments, the first portion 1 and the second portion 2 can be configured as other relatively rotatable parts of the doll structure, for example, the first portion 1 being the body, and the second portion 2 being the waist, arms, legs, etc.

[0025] The first part 1 is composed of a detachably assembled first shell 11 and a second shell 12. The inner side of the first shell 11 is provided with a battery compartment 111, a counterweight slot 112, and a first mounting slot 113. The inner side of the second shell 12 is provided with a fixing slot 121 and a second mounting slot 122. It will be understood that the first mounting slot 113 and the second mounting slot 122 form a complete mounting slot when the first and second shells 11 and 12 are assembled. The battery compartment 111, the mounting slot, and the fixing slot 121 are used to correspondingly mount some components of the sound circuit, while the counterweight slot 112 is used to mount other components of the first part 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, there are two battery compartments 111 located in the middle of the first housing 11, two counterweight slots 112 located at the end of the first housing 11 away from the head 2, one fixing slot 121 located in the middle of the second housing 12, and two first mounting slots 113 and two second mounting slots 122 located on opposite sides of the first housing 11. In other embodiments, the number and position of the battery compartments 111, counterweight slots 112, fixing slots 121, first mounting slots 113, and second mounting slots 122 can be adjusted accordingly based on the structure and design requirements of the doll.

[0027] A rotating shaft 13 is fixedly extended outward from one end of the first portion 1. The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably inserted into the second portion 2, allowing the first and second portions 1 and 2 to rotate relative to each other about the rotating shaft 13. In this embodiment, a limit block 131 and a shifting tooth 132 are circumferentially disposed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13 in the direction of rotation. A connecting rod 133 and a shifting rod 134 are spaced apart on the outer end wall of the rotating shaft 13.

[0028] Among them, the limit block 131 is a ring-notch structure, the diameter of the ring-notch is larger than the diameter of the insertion port of the second part 2, so that the rotating shaft 13 can be fixed to the second part 2 to prevent the two from detaching. The limit block 131 can also be connected with the inner wall of the second part 2 during the process of rotating with the rotating shaft 13, so as to limit the maximum angle of relative rotation of the first part 1 and the second part 2. The shifting tooth 132 can shift the sound-generating plate in the second part 2 during the process of rotating with the rotating shaft 13, so as to vibrate and make a sound, thereby making the first part 1 and the second part 2 rotate relative to each other and make a sound. The connecting rod 133 is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 13 and is connected to the second part 2 through the elastic member 14. The elastic member 14 is used to drive the rotating shaft 13 to rotate in the opposite direction to its original position. Therefore, after the player drives the first part 1 and the second part 2 to rotate relative to each other for a certain angle and removes the external force, the first part 1 and the second part 2 can be reversed and reset under the drive of the elastic member 14. The toggle rod 134 is located at a position of the rotating shaft 13 that is offset from the axis thereof. The toggle rod 134 can push a portion of the elastic member 14 to deform and store energy during the process of rotating along with the rotating shaft 13 .

[0029] Specifically, the elastic member 14 is a torsion spring, the main body of which is rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 133. The toggle lever 134 is located between the two legs 141 of the torsion spring. As the toggle lever 134 rotates with the rotating shaft 13, it can push either leg 141 to elastically deform. Furthermore, when the external force is removed, the legs 141 return to their original positions and push the toggle lever 134 to reverse and reset, thereby achieving automatic rotation between the first portion 1 and the second portion 2.

[0030] In other embodiments, the limiting block 131 may also be a plurality of protrusions spaced apart on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13 , and the distance between two opposing protrusions must be greater than the diameter of the insertion opening of the second portion 2 .

[0031] In other embodiments, only a connecting rod 133 is provided on the rotating shaft 13. In this case, the elastic member 14 is a clockwork spring, the two ends of which are respectively fixed to the connecting rod 133 and the inner wall of the second part 2, so that the connecting rod 133 can be elastically deformed and store energy when the connecting rod 133 rotates in the forward and reverse directions.

[0032] In this embodiment, two counterweights 15 are also fixed in the first part 1, and each counterweight 15 is correspondingly fixed in the counterweight slot 112. The provision of the counterweights 15 can change the center of gravity of the first part 1, lowering the center of gravity of the first part 1, making it less likely for the doll to tip over, thereby improving the user experience of the doll. In other embodiments, the number of first counterweights 15 can be adjusted to one or more than three. Correspondingly, the first part 1 may not be provided with a counterweight 15, and in this case, the counterweight slot 112 is correspondingly eliminated in the first shell 11. The ground-contacting portion of the first part 1 can be provided as an arc plate, which, in conjunction with the counterweights 15, can form a tumbler toy.

[0033] The second portion 2 is composed of a detachably connected third housing 21 and a fourth housing 22. In this embodiment, the inner side of the third housing 21 is provided with a connecting block 211 and a positioning block 212, while the inner side of the fourth housing 22 is provided with a limiting wall 221 and an exposure hole 222. In other embodiments, the inner side of the third housing 21 may be provided with no positioning block 212, depending on the type of elastic member 14 and the connection method.

[0034] It can be understood that the connecting block 211 is used to fix the sound-generating plate 23. The sound-generating plate 23 has elasticity and is arranged opposite the toggle teeth 132. When the rotating shaft 13 rotates, the sound-generating plate 23 can be toggled by the toggle teeth 132 to vibrate and produce sound. The opposite sides of the positioning block 212 can respectively contact the two legs 141 of the torsion spring, thereby limiting the movement of the legs 141 and allowing the legs 141 to elastically deform. The limiting wall 221 extends along the inner wall of the fourth housing 22 toward the notch opposite the limiting block 131. The limiting wall 221 and both ends of the limiting block 131 can be connected to each other, allowing the first part 1 and the second part 2 to rotate forward or reverse by a certain angle. The exposure hole 222 is opened on the fourth housing 22 to allow part of the rotating assembly 24 to be exposed on the fourth housing 22 through the exposure hole 222.

[0035] The rotating assembly 24 includes a connecting base 241 fixed to the inner wall of the fourth housing 22, and a rotating member 242 rotatably connected to the connecting base 241. The rotating member 242 includes two adjacent spheres 421, with a protruding ring 2422 disposed between the two spheres 2421. The protruding ring 2422 and the spheres 2421 are both rotatably connected to the connecting base 241 to improve the rotational stability of the rotating member 242.

[0036] It will be appreciated that in this embodiment, the rotating member 242 is configured as an eyeball. Multiple eye patterns are sequentially arranged on the outer side of each sphere 2421 along the direction of rotation. The size of each pattern is equal to or larger than the size of the exposure hole 222. Manually rotating the sphere 2421 switches the pattern exposed on the fourth housing 22, thereby providing a user with interchangeable eye patterns on the doll's head. In other embodiments, the number of spheres 2421 and the content of the patterns drawn on the rotating member 242 can be adjusted based on the configuration of the second portion 2. For example, if the second portion 2 is configured as an arm, the rotating member 242 can be configured as a hand ornament.

[0037] The sound-generating circuit includes an electrically connected battery 31, a control circuit board 32, a switch 33, and a sound generator 34. The battery 31 is detachably mounted in the battery compartment 111 to provide electrical energy for the sound-generating circuit. The control circuit board 32 is fixed in the first housing 11 and is used to control the sound generator 34 to emit different sound segments based on the triggering information of the switch 33. The switch 33 is fixed in the mounting slot. In this embodiment, there are two switches 33, and the two switches 33 are exposed on opposite sides of the first part 1, so that the switches 33 can be triggered simultaneously when the player holds the doll. When any one of the switches 33 is triggered or when the two switches 33 are triggered at the same time, the sound generator 34 can be activated to emit different sound segments. In other embodiments, the number of switches 33 can be adjusted to one or more than three.

[0038] The head and body of the doll provided in this embodiment can rotate relative to each other to the left or right by a certain angle (e.g., a half-turn). During this rotation, the toggle teeth 132 can toggle the sound-generating plate 23, causing it to vibrate and produce sound. This means that the doll can mechanically produce sound during the relative rotation of the first and second parts 1 and 2. When the head and body of the doll are released, they automatically rotate back to their original positions. During this process, the toggle teeth 132 can still toggle the sound-generating plate 23, causing it to vibrate and produce sound. Holding the doll triggers the switch 33, activating the sound-generating circuit and producing electronic sound. Thus, the doll provided in this embodiment combines mechanical and electronic sound generation, creating different expressive effects, making it more interesting and playable, and ensuring the continued attention of young children.

[0039] For clarity, certain features of the present invention described in the context of separate embodiments may be combined in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in the context of a single embodiment may also be used individually or in any suitable subcombination.
