[0045] In a possible implementation, the second cam member 1314 includes a second contact portion 13141, a second rod body 13142, an upper eyelid portion 13143, and a tooth 13144, the second rod body 13142 is connected between the second contact portion 13141 and the upper eyelid portion 13143, and the tooth 13144 is protruded on one side of the second rod body 13142; the follower 1315 includes an engaging tooth 13151, a third rod body 13152, and a lower eyelid portion 13153, the engaging tooth 13151 is located on one side of the third rod body 13152, the engaging tooth 13151 is connected with the tooth 13144 in a clearance, and the lower eyelid portion 13153 is connected to the end of the third rod body 13152; when the tooth 13144 is in contact with the engaging tooth 13151 and rotates, the upper eyelid portion 13143 and the lower eyelid portion 13153 are closed to each other. In a specific application, since the tooth 13144 is protruded on one side of the second rod body 13142, the engaging tooth 13151 is located on one side of the third rod body 13152, and the engaging tooth 13151 is connected with the tooth 13144 in a clearance, when the tooth 13144 is in contact with the engaging tooth 13151 and rotates, the upper eyelid portion 13143 is driven to rotate by the second rod body 13142, and the lower eyelid portion 13153 is driven to rotate by the third rod body 13152, so that the upper eyelid portion 13143 and the lower eyelid portion 13153 are closed to each other. It is worth noting that the rotation range of the upper eyelid portion 13143 is greater than that of the lower eyelid portion 13153.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the first cam member 1313 includes a first contact portion 13131, a first rod body 13132, and an eyebrow portion 13133, the first rod body 13132 is connected between the first contact portion 13131 and the eyebrow portion 13133, and the first contact portion 13131 and the second contact portion 13141 are misaligned and abutted on one side of the cam 1312, so that the first driving source 1311 drives the eyebrow portion 13133 and the upper eyelid portion 13143 asynchronously. In a specific application, since the first cam member 1313 includes the first contact portion 13131, the first rod body 13132, and the eyebrow portion 13133, the first rod body 13132 drives the eyebrow portion 13133 to swing, and the first contact portion 13131 and the second contact portion 13141 are misaligned and abutted on one side of the cam 1312, so that the cam 1312 can lift the first contact portion 13131 and the second contact portion 13141 in sequence in the axial direction, so that the first rod body 13132 and the second rod body 13142 swing in sequence, and then the first driving source 1311 drives the movement of the eyebrow portion 13133 and the upper eyelid portion 13143 asynchronously and coordinately.

[0047] In a possible implementation, the tooth surface of the tooth 13144 is formed with a deviation angle, and the deviation angle faces away from the meshing tooth 13151. In specific applications, in order to reduce the impact of the tooth 13144 on the meshing tooth 13151, the tooth surface of the tooth 13144 is formed with a deviation angle, and the deviation angle faces away from the meshing tooth 13151. In this way, when the tooth 13144 rotates towards the meshing tooth 13151, the curved tooth surface of the tooth 13144 can buffer the impact on the meshing tooth 13151, thereby improving the service life of the second curved member 1314 and the follower 1315.

[0048] In a possible implementation, the driving module 130 further includes a second driving module 132. The second driving module 132 includes a second driving source 1321, a first handle 1322, a first rocker plate 1323, a second rocker plate 1324, a first rocker arm 1325, and a second rocker arm 1326. The second driving source 1321 is connected to the support plate 120 to drive the first handle 1322. The first handle 1322 drives the first rocker plate 1323 to move and the first rocker arm 1325 to rotate, respectively. The first rocker plate 1323 is slidingly connected to the support plate 120. The first rocker arm 1325 is rotatably connected to the support plate 120. The second rocker arm 1326 is rotatably connected to the support plate 120. The second rocker plate 1324 is rotatably connected to the support plate 120, and two ends of the second rocker plate 1324 are movably connected to the first rocker plate 1323 and the second rocker arm 1326. When the first handle 1322 rotates, the first rocker arm 1325 and the second rocker arm 1326 cooperatively generate a motion of simulating a lower facial expression. In specific applications, because the second driving module 132 includes the second driving source 1321, the first handle 1322, the first rocker plate 1323, the second rocker plate 1324, the first rocker arm 1325, and the second rocker arm 1326, the second driving source 1321 is connected to the support plate 120 to drive the first handle 1322. The first handle 1322 drives the first rocker plate 1323 to move relative to the support plate 120 and drives the first rocker arm 1325 to rotate relative to the support plate 120. The first rocker plate 1323 is slidingly connected to the support plate 120. The first rocker arm 1325 is rotatably connected to the support plate 120. The second rocker arm 1326 is rotatably connected to the support plate 120. The second rocker plate 1324 is rotatably connected to the support plate 120, and two ends of the second rocker plate 1324 movably abut against the first rocker plate 1323 and the second rocker arm 1326. Thus, when the first handle 1322 rotates, the first rocker arm 1325 swings under the action of the first handle 1322, and the second rocker arm 1326 swings under the cooperation of the first rocker plate 1323 and the second rocker plate 1324. Thus, the first rocker arm 1325 and the second rocker arm 1326 cooperatively generate a motion of simulating a lower facial expression. It should be noted that the swinging motion of the first rocker arm 1325 and the swinging motion of the second rocker arm 1326 are asynchronous, and the swinging amplitude of the first rocker arm 1325 is smaller than that of the second rocker arm 1326.

[0049] In a possible implementation, the first rocker 1323 forms a sliding groove 13231, and the first handle 1322 is movably arranged in the sliding groove 13231. When the first handle 1322 rotates, the first rocker 1323 slides relative to the support plate 120, and the first rocker 1323 abuts against the second rocker 1324 to drive the second rocker 1324. In a specific application, since the first rocker 1323 forms the sliding groove 13231, the length direction of the sliding groove 13231 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the first rocker 1323 relative to the support plate 120, and the first handle 1322 is movably arranged in the sliding groove 13231. Thus, when the first handle 1322 rotates, the first handle 1322 slides relative to the sliding groove 13231 to drive the first rocker 1323 to slide relative to the support plate 120, and then the first rocker 1323 abuts against the second rocker 1324 to drive the second rocker 1324.

The connecting portion 13251 is hingedly connected to the support plate 120. One end of the extension body 13252 is connected to the connecting portion 13251, and the other end of the extension body 13252 extends through the skeleton 110. The protruding portion 13253 is located on one side of the extension body 13252. The first handle 1322 abuts against the protruding portion 13253 to drive the connecting portion 13251 to rotate relative to the support plate 120. In a specific application, since the first rocker 1325 includes the connecting portion 13251, the extension body 13252, and the protruding portion 13253, the connecting portion 13251 is hingedly connected to the support plate 120, one end of the extension body 13252 is connected to the connecting portion 13251, and the other end of the extension body 13252 extends through the skeleton 110. The protruding portion 13253 is located on one side of the extension body 13252. Thus, when the first handle 1322 abuts against the protruding portion 13253 to drive the connecting portion 13251 to rotate relative to the support plate 120, the extension body 13252 rotates relative to the support plate 120 to simulate the wrinkle nose action.

[0051] In a possible implementation, the driving module 130 further comprises a third driving module 133, the third driving module 133 comprising a third driving source 1331, a second handle 1332 and a third rocker 1333, the third driving source 1331 being connected to the support plate 120 for driving the second handle 1332, the third rocker 1333 being hinged to the support plate 120, the second rocker 1326 driving the third rocker 1333 to rotate relative to the support plate 120.
