Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, and more particularly to an intelligent programmable mechanical ball. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing toy cars are equipped with wheels, which are usually exposed on the exterior of the car body. However, children are often impatient and may accidentally drop or break the toy while playing, damaging the wheels. Furthermore, exposed wheels are easily entangled in thin objects such as thread or hair. If this happens, the wheels may become stuck and unable to rotate properly, thus affecting the normal use of the toy car. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a smart programmable mechanical ball to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the spherical shell includes a first hemispherical shell and a second hemispherical shell bonded to one side of the first hemispherical shell.

[0011] Compared with related technologies, the present invention provides the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By mounting the wheels inside the spherical shell, they are effectively protected from external damage, preventing them from falling off or breaking due to children's excitement during play. Furthermore, the limited internal space prevents hair or other thin objects from getting tangled in the wheels, ensuring the toy's long-term stable operation. In addition, the internally mounted wheels, combined with a spring-dampening system, provide extra cushioning protection when the toy is dropped or bumped, reducing the impact on the internal structure. This design not only improves the toy's safety and durability but also makes the overall appearance more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing, providing children with a better play experience. The toy features a pre-programmed mobile app that allows for remote control of the direction and speed of the motors on both sides. The drive mechanism inside the spherical shell moves the outer shell, with the internal motor driving the drive gear, which in turn rotates the wheels, thus moving the outer shell. The springs provide support and prevent jamming. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 9 A smart programmable mechanical ball is mainly composed of a spherical shell 1. Inside the spherical shell 1 is a hemispherical mounting base 2, with symmetrical mounting grooves 3 designed on the sidewalls of the hemispherical mounting base 2. Each mounting groove 3 contains a gear shaft 4 rotatably connected to the hemispherical mounting base 2. One end of the gear shaft 4 is fixed with a travel wheel 5, which is in close contact with the inner wall of the spherical shell 1, ensuring smooth rolling of the mechanical ball. Two drive devices 6 are integrated inside the hemispherical mounting base 2 to drive the rotation of the travel wheel 5. Furthermore, a circuit board 7 is fixed to the top of the hemispherical mounting base 2. A battery 8 is installed inside the circuit board 7, and a wireless charging coil 9 is installed at its bottom. The wireless charging coil 9 and the battery 8 are connected to the circuit board 7 via a circuit to ensure power supply. A pressing device 10 is mounted on the circuit board 7 to ensure good contact between the travel wheel 5 and the inner wall of the spherical shell 1. Even if the mechanical ball encounters impact or vibration during movement, the spring 103 in the pressing device 10 can automatically adjust and maintain stable contact pressure.

[0025] The core component of the drive unit 6 is an electric motor 61 fixed inside the spherical outer shell 1. A drive gear 62 is mounted on the output shaft of the electric motor 61, and this drive gear 62 meshes with the gear shaft 4. When the electric motor 61 operates, it transmits power through the interaction between the drive gear 62 and the gear shaft 4, causing the gear shaft 4 to rotate. A traveling wheel 5 is fixed to one end of the gear shaft 4, so as the gear shaft 4 rotates, the traveling wheel 5 also rotates. Because the traveling wheel 5 is in close contact with the inner wall of the spherical outer shell 1, the controller 71 precisely controls the direction and speed of the two electric motors 61, allowing for flexible adjustment of the rolling direction, direction, and speed of the mechanical ball. It is worth noting that the hemispherical mounting base 2 and its components have a certain weight, which makes the entire device like a roly-poly toy, maintaining balance during rolling.

[0026] To enable remote control, circuit board 7 is equipped with a controller 71 and a wireless communication module 72. The controller 71 can receive commands from external devices (such as smartphones) via the wireless communication module 72. The smartphone has an app control software that can be programmed and remotely controlled to precisely regulate the operating status of the motor 61, such as adjusting its speed or changing its direction of rotation. Meanwhile, to ensure the stable installation of circuit board 7, the top of the hemispherical mounting base 2 is designed with four threaded cylindrical posts 21, and circuit board 7 is fixed to these four threaded cylindrical posts 21 with screws. To protect the battery 8 and reduce the impact of vibration, multiple rubber pads 81 are placed between the top of the battery 8 and the circuit board 7.

[0027] Furthermore, the extrusion device 10 is ingeniously designed, comprising a set of slide rods 101 slidably connected to the circuit board 7 along a vertical direction. The top ends of these slide rods 101 are connected to a mounting plate 102. A spring 103 is fitted around the outside of each slide rod 101, with its two ends abutting against the circuit board 7 and the mounting plate 102, respectively. The spring 103 provides support and prevents jamming. Ear plates 104 are fixed to the top two sides of the mounting plate 102, and follower wheels 105 are connected to the outside of the ear plates 104 via a pivot. These follower wheels 105 also fit tightly against the inner wall of the spherical outer shell 1, further enhancing the operational stability of the mechanical ball under various conditions.

[0028] To improve the stability of the mechanical ball, a notch 11 is specially designed at the bottom of the spherical shell 1. A counterweight 12 is installed at this notch 11, and a mounting cover 13 covers the outside of the counterweight 12. The mounting cover 13 is firmly connected to the bottom of the spherical shell 1, and the wireless charging coil 9 is placed inside this mounting cover 13. This design not only helps to lower the center of gravity of the mechanical ball and improve its stability, but also makes it convenient for users to charge the mechanical ball wirelessly.

[0029] The spherical shell 1 consists of two parts: a first hemispherical shell 14 and a second hemispherical shell 15 bonded to one side thereto. This design is both aesthetically pleasing and practical, and facilitates the assembly and maintenance of the various internal components.

[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
