Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulated dinosaur model making technology, and in particular to a simulated dinosaur model. Background Technology

[0002] Animatronic dinosaurs are models based on dinosaurs, commonly used in museums, theme parks, film productions, and also produced directly as toys. They can be made from materials such as plastic, rubber, and silicone, and their appearance and texture can be designed and manufactured according to the species and era of the dinosaur to achieve a lifelike effect. The main characteristics of animatronic dinosaurs include high realism, dynamic interaction, and high degree of simulation. Not only are their appearance, color, and texture realistic, but they can also achieve dynamic effects through mechanical devices, such as shaking their heads, roaring, and even blinking, as if transporting people back to prehistoric times.

[0003] In existing technologies, the muscles of simulated dinosaurs are made of hard materials such as foam and resin, while the skin is made of silicone. Most of them are separate pieces. When the simulated mechanical dinosaur moves, the muscles cannot bend, and only the joints of the hard materials move and swing. Although they are carefully designed, the overall appearance is still relatively fake, stiff, and distorted, and the visual appeal is not strong. In addition, the outer simulated surface made of the above-mentioned hard materials is mostly directly glued to the surface of the mechanical device, so the skin material needs to be replaced as a whole when repairing. For the entire skin, the maintenance cost of simulated dinosaurs for long-term use is relatively large. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a simulated dinosaur model.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a simulated dinosaur model, comprising a movable mechanical device and an outer simulated surface, wherein the outer simulated surface is fitted over the movable mechanical device, and magnetic blocks are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the head, torso, and limbs of the movable mechanical device, and multiple limiting horizontal plates are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the magnetic blocks, and an mounting plate is slidably connected to the inner side of each group of multiple limiting horizontal plates;

[0006] The upper surface of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to multiple mounting seats, and the top of each of the multiple mounting seats is fixedly connected to a lower clamping plate, and the top of each of the multiple lower clamping plates is equipped with a sponge fixing mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the sponge fixing mechanism includes a first support plate and a second support plate respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the lower clamping plate. An upper clamping plate is provided above the lower clamping plate, and another first support plate and a second support plate are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the upper clamping plate respectively. One end of the two first support plates is fixedly connected to a connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the connector includes two connecting blocks and an arc-shaped plate. One end of each of the two connecting blocks is fixedly connected to one end of a corresponding first support plate, and both ends of the arc-shaped plate are fixedly connected to the ends of the two connecting blocks away from the first support plate. An elastic interlayer is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped plate, and a rubber insert is fixedly connected through the inner side of the elastic interlayer.

[0009] Furthermore, a screw is fixedly connected through the side wall of the single lower second support plate, one end of which extends through to the top of the other second support plate, and a nut is threaded onto the outer surface of the screw, the lower surface of which abuts against the upper surface of the single upper second support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, springs are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two second support plates, and the springs are sleeved on the outside of the screw.

[0011] With the above technical solution, under the elastic force of the spring returning to its initial state, the single upper second support plate will move upward under the push of the spring, thereby increasing the distance between the upper and lower clamping plates, which can accommodate and clamp more sponge.

[0012] Furthermore, the side wall of the single upper second support plate is provided with a through hole larger than the diameter of the screw.

[0013] The above technical solution allows the screw to pass through unimpeded, and the screw will not hinder the displacement of the second support plate.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In use, this simulated dinosaur model incorporates a movable mechanical device, magnetic blocks, and a sponge fixing mechanism. The high-density sponge is clamped and fixed to the surface of the mounting plate by upper and lower clamping plates, and then magnetically attached to the outside of the movable mechanical device. Compared to traditional adhesive methods, the sponge fixing method is simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, when the simulated mechanical dinosaur moves, the muscles of the high-density sponge can bend synchronously, rather than just performing separate joint movements and swings, resulting in a more realistic overall appearance and enhanced visual appeal. Additionally, the skin material does not require complete replacement during repairs, leading to lower maintenance costs for the simulated dinosaur over long-term use and facilitating replacement and repair of damaged parts.

[0025] Figures 1 to 7As shown, a simulated dinosaur model is disclosed, including a movable mechanical device 1 and an outer simulated surface 2. The outer simulated surface 2 is fitted over the outside of the movable mechanical device 1, and magnetic blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the head, torso and limbs of the movable mechanical device 1. Multiple limiting horizontal plates 4 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the magnetic blocks 3, and a mounting plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner side of each group of multiple limiting horizontal plates 4.

[0026] Multiple mounting bases 6 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 5. The top of each mounting base 6 is fixedly connected to a lower clamping plate 8, and the top of each lower clamping plate 8 is equipped with a sponge fixing mechanism.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the movable mechanical device 1 can directly use the mechanical dog in the prior art as the main body to support the simulated dinosaur to realize its movements. This movable mechanical device is not the focus of this application.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, the sponge fixing mechanism includes a first support plate 10 and a second support plate 11 that are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the lower clamping plate 8. An upper clamping plate 9 is provided above the lower clamping plate 8, and another first support plate 10 and a second support plate 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the upper clamping plate 9. A connector 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the two first support plates 10.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the connector 7 includes two connecting blocks 701 and an arc plate 702. One end of each of the two connecting blocks 701 is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding first support plate 10, and both ends of the arc plate 702 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two connecting blocks 701 away from the first support plate 10. An elastic interlayer 703 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc plate 702, and a rubber insert 704 is fixedly connected through the inner side of the elastic interlayer 703.

[0030] The curved plate 702 is made of elastic metal sheet, while the elastic interlayer 703 can be made of EVA plastic (which has many advantages such as excellent elasticity, softness, chemical stability and low cost). This allows the angle between the upper interlayer plate 9 and the lower interlayer plate 8 to change, thereby realizing the opening and closing operation. In addition, the presence of the rubber insert 704 provides a certain strength support and limit for the deformation of the curved plate 702 and the elastic interlayer 703. The rubber insert 704 ensures that the inner layer has a certain mechanical strength to play a supporting and shape-maintaining role, making it more durable and less prone to cracking.

[0031] A screw 12 is fixedly connected through the side wall of a single lower second support plate 11. One end of the screw 12 extends through to the top of another second support plate 11. Correspondingly, the side wall of the single upper second support plate 11 has a through hole larger than the diameter of the screw 12, so that the screw 12 can pass through unobstructed and will not hinder the displacement of the second support plate 11. A nut 14 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the screw 12. The lower surface of the nut 14 abuts against the upper surface of the single upper second support plate 11. When the nut 14 is turned and moves downward along the screw 12, it will push the lower second support plate 11 to move downward together, thereby moving the upper clamping plate 9 closer to the lower clamping plate 8 and fixing the sponge between the upper clamping plate 9 and the lower clamping plate 8.

[0032] Among them, the two second support plates 11 are fixedly connected to springs 13 on opposite sides, and springs 13 are sleeved on the outside of screws 12. Springs 13 are in a compressed state for a long time. When the nut 14 is turned in the opposite direction, it moves upward. Under the elastic force of spring 13 returning to its initial state, the single second support plate 11 on the top will move upward under the push of spring 13, thereby increasing the distance between the upper clamping plate 9 and the lower clamping plate 8, which can accommodate and clamp more sponges.

[0033] When making a simulated dinosaur model, first attach the magnetic block 3 to the surface of the head, torso and limbs of the movable mechanical device 1. Then insert the mounting plate 5 into the inside of the limiting horizontal plate 4. Take some high-density sponge and clamp it on the opposite side of the upper clamping plate 8 and the lower clamping plate 9 to initially complete the wrapping of the dinosaur body.

[0034] Specifically, in the initial state, the nut 14 is not turned into place. At this time, high-density sponge is stuffed between the upper clamping plate 9 and the lower clamping plate 8, so that the entire body of the movable mechanical device 1 is wrapped in sponge. Then, the nut 14 is tightened so that the sponge completely and tightly wraps the movable mechanical device 1 inside. Then, the sponge is stuffed into the gaps (such as between the head and torso, between the torso and limbs), and then the sponge is carved into various different dinosaur shapes using hand carving techniques.

[0035] After the shaping is completed, the stockings are bonded to the surface of the sponge with silicone glue to completely seal the sponge, forming a preliminary product outer skin with strong elasticity, strong tensile strength, and waterproof function.

[0036] Subsequently, the colors, which are mixed with oil paint, thinner and glass glue, are sprayed onto the surface of the product and bonded together with the outer skin of the product to form the appearance of dinosaurs in various colors. The colors have penetrated into the skin and will not be diluted or faded by water spraying or rain, thus creating the final outer simulated surface layer 2.

[0037] Compared to traditional adhesive methods, the sponge fixing method is simpler and more convenient. Furthermore, when the stockings and silicone glue are bonded to the surface of the sponge to completely seal it, the sponge will not easily fall off the movable mechanical device 1. The connection between the movable mechanical device 1 and the outer simulated surface 2 has better reliability. At the same time, the skin material does not need to be replaced entirely when repairing. For example, if the skin of the simulated dinosaur is damaged in a certain place, only the stockings and the corresponding sponge block need to be replaced, and the paint can be re-sprayed. There is no need to replace the entire sponge. For the entire skin, the maintenance cost of the simulated dinosaur for long-term use is lower, and it is easy to replace and repair damage.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
