Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0058] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0059] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0063] Understandably, the smart story machine is an early education product tailored for children. It has a variety of content built-in, including fairy tales, nursery rhymes and poems, classical music, parent-child English, and Chinese classics. It can also achieve intelligent voice interaction with children based on their personality traits and language habits, enabling real-time communication between parents and children.
[0064] Currently, smart storytelling machines rely on their casings for protection. However, these casings have poor water resistance, making them prone to water ingress into the machine when used in wet environments. This can damage the internal structure and affect the machine's performance.
[0065] For this reason, see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a novel intelligent story machine 10. Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an intelligent story machine 10 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The front view of the intelligent story machine 10 shown is shown. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The image shows a top view of the smart story machine 10. This smart story machine 10 is capable of playing diverse content and interacting with the user (child).
[0066] The intelligent story machine 10 is waterproof, preventing moisture from entering its interior and damaging its internal structure, thus ensuring its performance. The following describes the specific structure of an embodiment of the intelligent story machine 10.
[0067] See Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment, the intelligent story machine 10 includes a housing assembly 100, a control assembly 200, a plurality of control buttons, and a speaker 500. The housing assembly 100 includes a first half-shell 110, a second half-shell 120, and a sealing member 130. The first half-shell 110 covers the second half-shell 120 and encloses an installation space, and the sealing member 130 is disposed between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120. The control assembly 200 is disposed within the installation space. The plurality of control buttons are movably disposed on the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, and electrically connected to the control assembly 200. The speaker 500 is disposed within the installation space and electrically connected to the control assembly 200. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The cross-sectional view of the intelligent story machine 10 shown at point AA. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The image shown is a magnified view of the intelligent story machine 10 at point B. Figure 6 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the housing assembly 100 in the intelligent story machine 10 shown.
[0068] The housing assembly 100 serves as the outer shell of the smart story machine 10. The housing assembly 100 is hollow, with its internal cavity serving as a mounting cavity. Most of the components of the smart story machine 10 are housed within this mounting space. The housing assembly 100 protects the internal structure, preventing the internal components of the smart story machine 10 from being exposed, thus ensuring the performance of the smart story machine 10. Simultaneously, the housing assembly 100 also ensures that the smart story machine 10 forms a unified structure, maintaining its aesthetic integrity.
[0069] The control component 200 is the part that enables intelligent control of the intelligent story machine 10, and the multiple control buttons are the parts that enable the intelligent story machine 10 to perform corresponding functions. The multiple control buttons are set in the housing component 100, and the control buttons extend through the housing component 100, that is, part of the control buttons is located in the installation space, and part of them are exposed outside the installation space.
[0070] Multiple control buttons are electrically connected to the control component 200 within the installation space. When the user operates the control buttons, the buttons trigger corresponding control signals, causing the smart story machine 10 to perform the corresponding operation. A speaker 500 is disposed within the installation space and electrically connected to the control component 200. The smart story machine 10 can generate sound through the speaker 500 to play stories or interact with the user.
[0071] It is worth noting that this application focuses on the structural improvement of the smart story machine 10. The details of how the smart story machine 10 plays stories and interacts with users are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.
[0072] Specifically, the housing assembly 100 includes a first half-shell 110, a second half-shell 120, and a seal 130. The first half-shell 110 is the front shell of the housing assembly 100, and the second half-shell 120 is the rear shell of the housing assembly 100. This application uses... Figure 1 The direction shown is the reference, such as Figure 1 As shown, the height direction of the intelligent story machine 10 is the up-down direction and the top-bottom direction, the thickness direction of the intelligent story machine 10 is the front-back direction, and the width direction of the intelligent story machine 10 is the left-right direction.
[0073] The second half-shell 120 is installed behind the first half-shell 110, and the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 are connected to form the outer shell of the intelligent story machine 10. The first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 enclose a hollow installation space, in which the control component 200 and the speaker 500 are disposed. Some control buttons are located in the first half-shell 110, and some control buttons are located in the second half-shell 120.
[0074] Furthermore, a sealing element 130 is provided at the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120. In this way, the sealing element 130 can seal the gap between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, forming a sealed waterproof barrier at the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, preventing moisture from the external environment from entering the installation space through the gap between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, and ensuring the sealing of the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120.
[0075] In the above embodiment of the intelligent story machine 10, a sealing element 130 is provided between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 to improve the waterproof performance of the shell assembly 100, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the shell assembly 100, preventing moisture and other substances from entering the installation space through the gap between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, ensuring that the control component 200 and the speaker 500 can work normally, avoiding damage to the internal structure of the intelligent story machine 10, and ensuring the performance of the intelligent story machine 10.
[0076] In one embodiment, the sealing element 130 is a sealing ring, which surrounds the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 to ensure a sealing effect. Optionally, the sealing element 130 is made of silicone material. This ensures the sealing effect of the sealing element 130 at the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the sealing element 130 may also be made of other materials that can perform a sealing function.
[0077] See Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the edge of the first half-shell 110 and / or the edge of the second half-shell 120 has a protruding fixing edge 111, which is engaged with the first half-shell 110 or the second half-shell 120. The fixing edge 111 can abut against the edge of the first half-shell 110 or the second half-shell 120 with which it mates, thereby achieving a reliable connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120.
[0078] Furthermore, the fixed edge 111 also serves as a barrier, preventing moisture from entering the inner side of the housing assembly 100. Thus, the double barrier provided by the fixed edge 111 and the sealing element 130 achieves a double-layer seal, ensuring a good sealing effect.
[0079] In this embodiment, the edge of the first half-shell 110 has a fixed edge 111 extending toward the second half-shell 120. The fixed edge 111 is arranged in a ring. When the second half-shell 120 covers the first half-shell 110, the first half-shell 110 abuts against the edge of the second half-shell 120 through the fixed edge 111, so that the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 are reliably fixed.
[0080] In other embodiments of this application, the edges of both the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 can be provided with fixed edges 111. Of course, the fixed edges 111 can also be provided only on the edge of the second half-shell 120. The principle is essentially the same as that of the first half-shell 110 having fixed edges 111, and will not be repeated here.
[0081] In one embodiment, the housing assembly 100 further includes a plurality of fasteners that pass through the second half-shell 120 and are installed in the first half-shell 110. That is, after the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 are connected, the fasteners pass through the mounting groove 112 of the second half-shell 120 in the first half-shell 110, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120. Optionally, the fasteners are screws or the like.
[0082] See Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the edges of the first half-shell 110 and / or the second half-shell 120 have annular mounting grooves 112 for interference fit of the seal 130. After the seal 130 is disposed in the mounting groove 112, it can seal the gap at the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, preventing moisture from the external environment from entering the installation space and ensuring the sealing performance at the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120.
[0083] In this embodiment, the edge of the first half-shell 110 has an annular mounting groove 112. Further, the mounting groove 112 is located on the surface of the first half-shell 110 facing the second half-shell 120. After the seal 130 is disposed in the mounting groove 112, the seal 130 partially exposes the edge of the first half-shell 110. When the first half-shell 110 is connected to the second half-shell 120, the seal 130 can abut against the edge of the second half-shell 120, thereby sealing the connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120.
[0084] Optionally, the mounting groove 112 is provided on the surface of the fixed edge 111 facing the second half-shell 120. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the mounting groove 112 may be provided on the edges of both the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, with the seal 130 located in the two mounting grooves 112 respectively, or the mounting groove 112 may be provided only on the edge of the second half-shell 120.
[0085] See Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the edges of the first half-shell 110 and / or the second half-shell 120 have snap-fit portions 113, which snap-fit the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 together. The snap-fit portions 113 enable the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 to be snap-fitted together, achieving an initial connection between them, facilitating subsequent fastening of the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 with fasteners.
[0086] In this embodiment, the edge of the first half-shell 110 has a snap-fit portion 113, which can be snapped onto the inner wall of the second half-shell 120. Of course, the snap-fit portion 113 can also be provided only on the edge of the second half-shell 120, and the snap-fit portion 113 can be snapped onto the inner wall of the first half-shell 110. Optionally, the snap-fit portion 113 is a snap fastener.
[0087] In other embodiments of this application, snap-fit portions 113 may be provided on the edges of both the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120, and the initial connection between the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 may be achieved through the snap-fit connection of the snap-fit portions 113. Optionally, the snap-fit portions 113 may be snap-fit or a structure that combines snap-fit and snap-slot.
[0088] See Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the housing assembly 100 further includes a support leg 140 disposed below the first half-shell 110 and / or the second half-shell 120. The support leg 140 is a support component of the housing assembly 100, which supports the smart story machine 10 onto a desktop or other platform surface.
[0089] When the smart story machine 10 is placed on a table or other platform surface, the support leg 140 directly contacts the table or other platform surface to separate the first half shell 110 and the second half shell 120 from the platform surface.
[0090] In this embodiment, the first half-shell 110 has a first support arm at its lower part, and the second half-shell 120 has a second support arm at its lower part. The first support arm and the second support arm are both supported by legs 140. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the first half-shell 110 or the second half-shell 120 may be connected by legs 140.
[0091] In this embodiment, there are two support legs 140, which are symmetrically arranged below the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120 to ensure reliable support for the smart story machine 10. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the number of support legs 140 may also be different.
[0092] It is worth noting that the number of control buttons is not limited in principle, as long as it can realize the operation and control of the smart story machine 10. In this embodiment, there are five control buttons. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the number of control buttons can be less or even more, as long as it can realize the control of the smart story machine 10.
[0093] See Figures 1 to 3In this embodiment, there are five control buttons, including four push buttons 300 and one toggle button 400. The push buttons 300 are pressable buttons, and the toggle button 400 is toggleable buttons. The four push buttons 300 are spaced apart on the first half-shell 110, and the toggle button 400 is located on the second half-shell 120. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the number of push buttons 300 and toggle buttons 400 can be different, and other layout methods can be adopted.
[0094] In this embodiment, one of the four push buttons 300 is a power button, which is located at the bottom of the first half-shell 110. Another push button 300 is a microphone button, which is located in the middle of the first half-shell 110 and above the power button. The other two push buttons 300 are volume buttons, which enable volume adjustment, and are located on the left and right sides of the first half-shell 110.
[0095] One toggle button 400 is a mode switching button; toggling it to one side activates story mode, and toggling it to the other side activates dialogue mode. When using the Smart Story Machine 10, the user presses the power button to turn it on, adjusts the playback mode using the toggle button 400, adjusts the playback volume using the two volume buttons, and uses the voice pickup button for voice interaction.
[0096] It should be noted that the layout of the various control buttons is not limited in principle, and the layout method is not limited to the layout method described in this application, as long as it is convenient for users to operate. Furthermore, in this application, the structures of all the push buttons 300 are substantially the same, and only the structure of one push button 300 is described here.
[0097] See Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first half-shell 110 has a first mounting hole for mounting a push button 300. Each push button 300 includes a push member 310 and a first protective sleeve 320. The push member 310 is electrically connected to the control component 200 and is located in the mounting space. The first protective sleeve 320 covers the push member 310 and extends through the first mounting hole. The first protective sleeve 320 can drive the push member 310 to move relative to the first half-shell 110. Figure 7 for Figure 1 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the pressed button 300. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The diagram shows the first protective cover 320 in the button 300.
[0098] The first half-shell 110 has a through-hole for pressing a button 300, which is movably mounted in the first mounting hole. The end of the button 300 facing the control component 200 is located in the mounting space and electrically connected to the control component 200, while the end of the button 300 away from the control component 200 is exposed outside the first half-shell 110. Thus, the button 300 can pass through the first mounting hole and protrude from the shell component 100, facilitating user operation.
[0099] The first protective sleeve 320 is a component that provides protection by pressing the button 300. The actuating element 310 is a push-button switch. The structure and principle of the push-button switch are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The actuating element 310 is located in the installation space and is electrically connected to the control component 200.
[0100] The first protective sleeve 320 is fitted onto the outside of the push button 310 and covers the push button 310. The first protective sleeve 320 can be exposed through the first mounting hole. When the user operates the button 300, the user can press the first protective sleeve 320, which in turn can drive the push button 310 to perform a pressing operation, thereby triggering a corresponding control signal to the control component 200.
[0101] Furthermore, the first protective sleeve 320 can make sealed contact with the inner wall of the first half-shell 110. That is, the portion of the first protective sleeve 320 located in the installation space can fit against the inner wall of the first half-shell 110. This ensures the seal between the button 300 and the housing assembly 100, preventing moisture from entering the installation space through the gap between the button 300 and the housing assembly 100, and preventing moisture from contacting the button 310, thus ensuring a sealing effect.
[0102] In one embodiment, the first protective sleeve 320 is made of silicone material. The silicone material is deformable, and when the user presses the first protective sleeve 320, the first protective sleeve 320 can drive the button 310 to perform the pressing operation. At the same time, the silicone material also has good sealing properties to seal the connection between the button 300 and the first half-shell 110.
[0103] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first protective sleeve 320 includes a first protrusion 321 and a first connecting portion 322. The first protrusion 321 protrudes from the first connecting portion 322 and together with the first connecting portion 322 forms a first receiving cavity for accommodating the pusher 310. The first connecting portion 322 is located in the installation space and seals against the inner wall of the first half-shell 110. The first protrusion 321 extends through the first mounting hole.
[0104] The first protrusion 321 is disposed on one side of the first connecting portion 322. The first protrusion 321 is cylindrical, and the first connecting portion 322 is also generally cylindrical. The first protrusion 321 and the first connecting portion 322 are hollow and connected to each other, forming a first receiving cavity, in which the actuating member 310 is located. In this way, the first protective sleeve 320 can cover the actuating member 310, preventing moisture from contacting the actuating member 310.
[0105] Meanwhile, the first connecting part 322 is provided to protrude circumferentially from the first protrusion 321. In this way, after the first protective sleeve 320 is installed in the first mounting hole, the first connecting part 322 is located in the mounting space and fits against the inner wall of the first half shell 110, and the first protrusion 321 is located in the first mounting hole and exposes the first half shell 110.
[0106] Thus, the user can press the first protrusion 321 to activate the button 310. The first connecting part 322 ensures the seal between the button 300 and the first half-shell 110, preventing moisture from entering the inside of the housing assembly 100.
[0107] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first protective sleeve 320 further includes a first thinning portion 323, which is disposed between the first protrusion 321 and the first connecting portion 322, and the first thinning portion 323 is recessed in the surface of the first connecting portion 322.
[0108] The first thinning portion 323 is located in a ring shape between the first protrusion 321 and the first connecting portion 322. The thickness of the first thinning portion 323 is less than the wall thickness of the first connecting portion 322. In this way, the first protrusion 321 can be pressed relative to the first connecting portion 322 without affecting the structural strength of the first protective sleeve 320.
[0109] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first protective sleeve 320 further includes a first sealing part 324, which protrudes from the surface of the first connecting part 322 and surrounds the periphery of the first protrusion 321. The first sealing part 324 is used to abut against the inner wall of the first half shell 110.
[0110] The first sealing portion 324 is annularly disposed on the surface of the first connecting portion 322, and the first sealing portion 324 protrudes from the surface of the first connecting portion 322, and is located outside the first thinning portion 323. When the first connecting portion 322 contacts the inner wall of the first half-shell 110, the first sealing portion 324 can fit against the inner wall of the first half-shell 110, ensuring the sealing between the button 300 and the first half-shell 110.
[0111] In one embodiment, the first protrusion 321, the first connecting portion 322, the first thinning portion 323, and the first sealing portion 324 are integrally formed. This ensures the structural strength of the first protective sleeve 320 and also facilitates its processing and forming.
[0112] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, a toggle button 400 is movably disposed on a second half-shell 120, the second half-shell 120 having a toggle hole for mounting the toggle button 400. The toggle button 400 includes a toggle member 410 and a second protective sleeve 420. The toggle member 410 is electrically connected to the control assembly 200 and located in the mounting space. The second protective sleeve 420 covers the toggle member 410 and extends through the toggle hole, and the second protective sleeve 420 can drive the toggle member 410 to move within the toggle hole. Figure 9 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the toggle button 400 in the intelligent story machine 10 shown. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the second protective sleeve 420 in the toggle button 400 shown.
[0113] The second half-shell 120 has a through-hole for a toggle button 400, which is pressable. The end of the toggle button 400 facing the control component 200 is located in the mounting space and electrically connected to the control component 200, while the end of the toggle button 400 away from the control component 200 is exposed in the second half-shell 120. Thus, the toggle button 400 can pass through the toggle hole and protrude from the shell component 100, allowing the user to switch modes of the intelligent story machine 10 by moving the toggle button 400.
[0114] The second protective sleeve 420 is a component that provides protection for the toggle button 400. The toggle element 410 is a toggle switch. The structure and principle of the toggle switch are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The toggle element 410 is located in the installation space and is electrically connected to the control component 200.
[0115] The second protective sleeve 420 is fitted onto the outside of the toggle member 410 and covers the toggle member 410. The second protective sleeve 420 can be exposed through the toggle hole. When the user operates the toggle button 400, the user can move the second protective sleeve 420 through the toggle hole, thereby causing the second protective sleeve 420 to move the toggle member 410, adjusting the position of the toggle member 410, and triggering a corresponding control signal to the control component 200.
[0116] Furthermore, the second protective sleeve 420 can make sealed contact with the inner wall of the second half-shell 120. That is, the portion of the second protective sleeve 420 located in the installation space can fit against the inner wall of the second half-shell 120. This ensures the seal between the toggle button 400 and the housing assembly 100, preventing moisture from entering the installation space through the gap between the toggle button 400 and the housing assembly 100, and preventing moisture from contacting the toggle element 410, thus ensuring a sealing effect.
[0117] In one embodiment, the second protective sleeve 420 is made of silicone material. The silicone material is deformable, and when the user moves the second protective sleeve 420, the second protective sleeve 420 can drive the toggle member 410 to perform a toggle operation. At the same time, the silicone material also has good sealing properties to seal the connection between the toggle button 400 and the second half-shell 120.
[0118] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second protective sleeve 420 includes a second protrusion 421 and a second connecting portion 422. The second protrusion 421 protrudes from the second connecting portion 422 and together with the second connecting portion 422 forms a second receiving cavity for accommodating the actuating member 410. The second connecting portion 422 is located in the installation space and seals against the inner wall of the second half-shell 120. The second protrusion 421 extends through the actuating hole.
[0119] The second protrusion 421 is disposed on one side of the second connecting portion 422. The second protrusion 421 is cylindrical, and the cross-section of the second connecting portion 422 is approximately oblong. The second protrusion 421 and the second connecting portion 422 are hollow and connected to each other, forming a second receiving cavity, in which the actuating member 410 is located. In this way, the second protective sleeve 420 can wrap around the actuating member 410, preventing moisture from contacting the actuating member 410.
[0120] Meanwhile, the second connecting part 422 is provided to protrude circumferentially from the second protrusion 421. Thus, after the second protective sleeve 420 is installed in the actuation hole, the second connecting part 422 is located in the installation space and fits against the inner wall of the second half shell 120, and the second protrusion 421 is located in the actuation hole and exposes the second half shell 120.
[0121] Thus, the user can activate the toggle of the toggle 410 by moving the second protrusion 421. The second connecting part 422 ensures the seal between the toggle button 400 and the second half-shell 120, preventing moisture from entering the inside of the housing assembly 100.
[0122] In one embodiment, the second protective sleeve 420 is directly fixed to the control component 200. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the second protective sleeve 420 may also be fixed to the control component 200 by means of a bracket or the like.
[0123] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second protective sleeve 420 further includes a second thinning portion 423, which is disposed between the second protrusion 421 and the second connecting portion 422, and the second thinning portion 423 is recessed into the surface of the second connecting portion 422.
[0124] The second thinning portion 423 is located in a ring shape between the second protrusion 421 and the second connecting portion 422. The thickness of the second thinning portion 423 is less than the wall thickness of the second connecting portion 422. In this way, the second protrusion 421 can be easily moved relative to the second connecting portion 422 without affecting the structural strength of the second protective sleeve 420.
[0125] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, the second protective sleeve 420 further includes a second sealing part 424, which protrudes from the surface of the second connecting part 422 and surrounds the periphery of the second protrusion 421. The second sealing part 424 is used to abut against the inner wall of the second half shell 120.
[0126] The second sealing portion 424 is annularly disposed on the surface of the second connecting portion 422, and the second sealing portion 424 protrudes from the surface of the second connecting portion 422. The second sealing portion 424 is located outside the second thinning portion 423. When the second connecting portion 422 contacts the inner wall of the second half-shell 120, the second sealing portion 424 can fit against the inner wall of the second half-shell 120, ensuring the sealing between the toggle button 400 and the second half-shell 120.
[0127] In one embodiment, there are at least two second sealing portions 424, which are nested together and spaced apart. This ensures a proper seal between the toggle button 400 and the second half-shell 120 by having at least two first sealing portions 324 contact the inner wall of the second half-shell 120. Alternatively, there may be only one second sealing portion 424.
[0128] In one embodiment, the second protrusion 421, the second connecting portion 422, the second thinning portion 423, and the second sealing portion 424 are integrally formed. This ensures the structural strength of the second protective sleeve 420 and also facilitates its processing and forming.
[0129] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 11 In one embodiment, the intelligent story machine 10 further includes two vibration components 600, which are symmetrically arranged on the housing component 100. One end of the vibration component 600 is rotatably disposed on the control component 200, and the other end extends through the first half-shell 110 and / or the second half-shell 120. Figure 11 for Figure 1 An exploded view of the vibration component 600 shown.
[0130] The vibration component 600 is the part of the intelligent story machine 10 that generates vibration. In this embodiment, the vibration component 600 extends through the second half-shell 120. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the vibration component 600 may also extend through the first half-shell 110 or through both the first half-shell 110 and the second half-shell 120. The principle is essentially the same as that of the vibration component 600 extending through the second half-shell 120, and will not be described again here.
[0131] One end of the vibration component 600 is rotatably mounted on the control component 200, and the other end of the vibration component 600 extends through the second half-shell 120. When the smart story machine 10 is in operation, the control component 200 can control the vibration component 600 to swing back and forth, thereby creating a vibration effect on the outside of the shell component 100. In this way, the smart story machine 10 can interact with the user through the vibration component 600 and attract the user's attention.
[0132] In this embodiment, the vibration components 600 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing component 100, that is, the vibration components 600 are located on the left and right sides of the housing component 100. Thus, the two vibration components 600, the housing component 100, and the support leg 140 can form a shape similar to a chick, with the vibration components 600 corresponding to the chick's wings. In other words, the smart story machine 10 resembles a chick in appearance, increasing its appeal and attracting the user's attention.
[0133] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 In one embodiment, the vibration assembly 600 includes a vibration drive 610, a vibration element 620, and a vibration sleeve 630. The vibration drive 610 is electrically connected to the control assembly 200. One end of the vibration element 620 is rotatably connected to the vibration drive 610, and the other end extends through the housing assembly 100. The vibration sleeve 630 is fitted onto the vibration element 620 and is sealed to the inner wall of the housing assembly 100. Figure 12 for Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the vibration sleeve 630 in the vibration assembly 600 shown.
[0134] The vibration drive 610 is located in the installation space and is disposed in the control assembly 200. The vibration drive 610 is also electrically connected to the control assembly 200. The second half-shell 120 has a second mounting hole that extends into the installation space. One end of the vibration member 620 is rotatably connected to the vibration drive 610, and the other end extends through the second mounting hole of the second half-shell 120.
[0135] The vibration sleeve 630 is fitted onto the vibration element 620. Part of the vibration element 620 is located in the installation space, while part of the vibration element 620 passes through the second mounting hole and protrudes from the second half-shell 120. The portion of the vibration sleeve 630 in the installation space can fit against the inner wall of the second half-shell 120, ensuring the sealing of the second half-shell 120.
[0136] When the intelligent story machine 10 interacts with the user, the control component 200 controls the vibration drive 610 to drive the vibration component 620 to swing back and forth. When the vibration component 620 swings back and forth, it can drive the vibration sleeve 630 to swing back and forth, so as to create the effect of vibration of the vibration sleeve 630, thereby realizing the interaction between the intelligent story machine 10 and the user.
[0137] In one embodiment, the vibration sleeve 630 is manufactured using an overmolding process, and the material hardness of the vibration element 620 is greater than that of the vibration sleeve 630. The vibration sleeve 630 is designed with ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) overmolding, and the vibration element 620 is made of ABS material. This results in a greater structural strength for the vibration sleeve 630 than for the vibration element 620, thereby increasing the wing's resilience and making it less prone to breakage.
[0138] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the vibration sleeve 630 includes a sleeve body 631 and a first mounting part 632. The first mounting part 632 is located in the mounting space and is rotatably connected to the control component 200. The sleeve body 631 is disposed on the first mounting part 632 and extends through the housing component 100. The sleeve body 631 is sleeved on the vibration member 620. The first mounting part 632 is in sealed contact with the inner wall of the housing component 100.
[0139] The sleeve body 631 is the main component that covers the vibrating element 620. The sleeve body 631 is sleeved on the outside of the vibrating element 620. The first mounting part 632 is disposed at one end of the sleeve body 631 and is rotatably disposed on the control assembly 200. When the control assembly 200 controls the vibration drive 610 to work, the vibration drive 610 can drive the vibrating element 620 to rotate the vibrating sleeve 630 relative to the control assembly 200.
[0140] Furthermore, the first mounting part 632 can fit against the inner wall of the second half-shell 120 in the installation space, so that the connection between the vibration component 600 and the second half-shell 120 is sealed, preventing moisture from entering the inner side of the housing component 100 through the connection between the vibration component 600 and the second half-shell 120, thus ensuring the waterproof effect.
[0141] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 632 and the sleeve body 631 are an integral structure. This ensures the structural strength of the vibration sleeve 630 and also facilitates the molding and processing of the vibration sleeve 630. It is worth noting that the shape of the vibration sleeve 630 is not limited in principle, as long as it can interact with the user. In this embodiment, the shape of the vibration sleeve 630 is similar to that of a chick's wing.
[0142] See Figure 11 In one embodiment, the vibration assembly 600 further includes a support member 640, which is rotatably disposed on the control assembly 200. The vibration sleeve 630 is disposed on the support member 640 and can drive the support member 640 to move. The support member 640 is used to enable the vibration sleeve 630 to be rotatably mounted on the control assembly 200, preventing the vibration sleeve 630 from shifting position without affecting the vibration of the vibration sleeve 630.
[0143] Optionally, the support member 640 is a support plate. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the support member 640 may also be other components that can support the vibration sleeve 630, such as a support frame, etc.
[0144] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the vibration sleeve 630 further includes a protrusion 633, which protrudes from the first mounting portion 632 and surrounds the sleeve body 631. The protrusion 633 abuts against the inner wall of the housing assembly 100. The protrusion 633 is annularly disposed on the surface of the first mounting portion 632 and protrudes from the surface of the first mounting portion 632. When the vibration assembly 600 contacts the inner wall of the second half-shell 120, the protrusion 633 can fit against the inner wall of the first mounting portion 632, ensuring the sealing between the vibration assembly 600 and the second half-shell 120.
[0145] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the vibrating sleeve 630 further includes a recessed portion 634, which is recessed into the first mounting portion 632 and surrounds the sleeve body 631. The recessed portion 634 is annularly located between the sleeve body 631 and the first mounting portion 632, and the thickness of the recessed portion 634 is less than the wall thickness of the first mounting portion 632. In this way, the sleeve body 631 can move relative to the first mounting portion 632 without affecting the structural strength of the vibrating sleeve 630.
[0146] See Figure 11In one embodiment, the vibration drive 610 includes a control coil 612 and a permanent magnet 611. The permanent magnet 611 is electrically connected to the control assembly 200. The control coil 612 is located in the permanent magnet 611 and is disposed in the vibration member 620. The vibration member 620 is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet 611. The permanent magnet 611 can drive the control coil 612 to cause the vibration member 620 to vibrate.
[0147] The permanent magnet 611 and the control coil 612 are the power source for the vibration drive 610. The permanent magnet 611 is disposed on the control assembly 200 and electrically connected to the control assembly 200. The control coil 612 is located inside the permanent magnet 611. The vibration element 620 is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet 611, and the control coil 612 is disposed on the permanent magnet 611.
[0148] After the control component 200 energizes the permanent magnet 611, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 611, utilizing Ampere's law, causes the control coil 612 to move within the permanent magnet 611. Furthermore, the permanent magnet 611 can generate a variable-direction magnetic field within its internal space, thereby causing the control coil 612 to move up and down according to the principle of force acting on the control coil in the magnetic field. The movement of the control coil 612 drives the vibrating element 620 to oscillate reciprocally relative to the vibration component 600, creating the effect of vibration of the vibration component 600.
[0149] See Figure 11 In one embodiment, the vibrating element 620 includes a vibrating body 621, a rotating part 622, and a second mounting part 623. The rotating part 622 and the second mounting part 623 are disposed at one end of the vibrating body 621. The rotating part 622 is rotatably connected to the vibrating drive element 610. The second mounting part 623 extends into the vibrating drive element 610 and mounts the control coil 612 of the vibrating drive element 610. The vibrating body 621 is mounted in the vibrating sleeve 630.
[0150] The vibrating body 621 is the main component of the vibrating element 620. The vibrating body 621 extends in the left-right direction. One end of the vibrating body 621 is provided with a rotating part 622, which is rotatably connected to the permanent magnet 611. In addition, a second mounting part 623 is also installed at one end of the vibrating body 621. The second mounting part 623 can extend into the permanent magnet 611 and install the control coil 612. The other end of the vibrating body 621 extends out through a second mounting hole to install the vibrating sleeve 630.
[0151] When the intelligent story machine 10 controls the vibration component 600 to vibrate, the control component 200 supplies power to the permanent magnet. After the permanent magnet 611 is energized, it can generate a magnetic field, causing the control coil 612 to move up and down in the permanent magnet 611. In turn, the control coil 612 drives the vibrating element 620 to swing back and forth through the second mounting part 623. The vibrating element 620 drives the vibrating sleeve 630 to swing back and forth, so as to create a vibration effect.
[0152] In one embodiment, the smart story machine 10 further includes a camera disposed in the mounting space and exposed through the first half-shell 110. The camera is electrically connected to the control component 200. The camera is located in the middle of the first half-shell 110 and is electrically connected to the control component 200.
[0153] When the user uses the Smart Story Machine 10, the camera in the middle position can largely ensure that the field of view of the Smart Story Machine 10 is not affected by the camera's position, making it easier to aim at the target.
[0154] In one embodiment, the smart story machine 10 further includes a display screen 700, which is disposed on the first half-shell 110 and electrically connected to the control component 200. The display screen 700, disposed on the first half-shell 110, allows the smart story machine 10 to display relevant content, facilitating user viewing of information and interaction.
[0155] In this embodiment, the display screen 700 is the chick's eye, occupying a large area for user convenience. Accordingly, there are two display screens 700. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, there may be only one display screen 700, thus allowing the display screen 700 to cover the first half-shell 110 as much as possible, increasing the display area.
[0156] In this embodiment, the first half-shell 110 has a third mounting hole, and the display screen 700 is disposed in the third mounting hole and is coplanar with the surface of the first half-shell 110. This ensures the aesthetic appearance of the smart story machine 10. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the display screen 700 may also protrude from the surface of the first half-shell 110.
[0157] In one embodiment, the control component 200 includes a rechargeable battery and a main control board, the main control board being electrically connected to the rechargeable battery and located in the installation space.
