Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, robot toys occupy a large proportion of the toy market, but many robots have relatively fixed structures and few changeable structures, which cannot meet children's needs for manipulation and transformation. Although some robot toys can change joints, they are basically limited to small-angle rotation and cannot achieve large-angle shape changes. Now there is a need for a robot toy with more variable joints. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art by providing a robot toy that addresses the issue of limited joint flexibility in current robots, resulting in low playability.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This robot toy includes a torso with built-in control circuitry. A limb joint assembly is connected to the torso. The limb joint assembly includes a main joint connected to the torso and an end joint connected to the end of the main joint. The torso, main joint, and end joint are internally connected in series by elastic and taut elastic ropes. The connecting ends of the main joint and end joint have uniformly radial openings that are open to the outer wall. The elastic ropes are embedded into any of the openings to form a multi-movable joint structure for the main joint and end joint. With this configuration, the main joint and end joint connected to the robot's torso form a multi-movable joint structure by embedding the elastic ropes into any of the openings, making the robot's form more diverse and significantly improving its playability.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the main joint and the distal joint are prismatic structures, with opening slots corresponding one-to-one to the side end faces of the main joint and the distal joint. With this arrangement, the elastic rope can be embedded into any opening slot to ensure that the outer cross-sections of the main joint and the distal joint are in close contact, making the structure more stable after joint switching.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the main body of the torso is equipped with an eye-shaped light-emitting element that simulates an eye and a first switch that simulates a nose and mouth, connected to a control circuit. The first switch controls the light-emitting element to emit light. The eye-shaped light-emitting element is an LED light. The first switch is a boat-shaped switch with markings representing a nose and mouth on its upper and lower ends, forming a structure where the first switch toggles the interaction between the nose and mouth and the eye-shaped light-emitting element. The eye-shaped light-emitting element simulates the structure of an eye, and the first switch simulates the structure of a nose and mouth. The changes in the switching structure of the first switch reflect changes in the nose and mouth. The opening and closing of the first switch causes changes in the light emitted by the eye-shaped light-emitting element, creating visual changes in the facial features, resulting in a good effect.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the main body of the torso is equipped with a working light-emitting element that simulates the internal components. The working light-emitting element is an LED light. A control switch is correspondingly set for each working light-emitting element on the main body of the torso. The control switch is connected to a control circuit to form a control structure that individually controls the working light-emitting element. The control switch controls the working light-emitting element to emit light, simulating the internal working state of the robot. Children can also connect the control relationship between the switch and the light-emitting element. The use of LED lights for the working light-emitting element reduces power consumption and extends its service life while ensuring the lighting effect.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the elastic rope is composed of multiple elastic threads, the ends of which are connected to end joints to form a multi-end joint structure for the robot. This configuration utilizes multiple elastic threads connected to multiple end joints to form a multi-end joint structure for the robot, conforming to the multi-functional structure of a robot. Furthermore, the increased number of end joints also enhances the range of motion, greatly increasing playability.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the structure of this utility model is reasonable and compact. By embedding elastic ropes into any open slots, a multi-movable joint structure of main joints and end joints is formed. The robot generates a variety of forms by changing the positions of the main body, main joints and end joints. Children can use their creativity to change the form. The visual changes brought about by the combination of switch and light-emitting structure also greatly increase the attraction to children and improve playability. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Referring to the accompanying drawings: This robot toy in this embodiment includes a torso body 1 with built-in control circuitry. A limb joint assembly is connected to the torso body 1. The limb joint assembly includes a main joint 2 connected to the torso body 1 and an end joint 3 connected to the end of the main joint 2. The torso body 1, the main joint 2 and the end joint 3 are internally connected in series by an elastic and taut elastic rope 4. The connecting ends of the main joint 2 and the end joint 3 are provided with uniformly radial openings 5 ​​that are open to the outer side wall. The elastic rope 4 is embedded into any opening 5 to form a multi-movable joint structure of the main joint 2 and the end joint 3.

[0016] The main joint 2 and the distal joint 3 are prismatic structures, and the opening slots 5 correspond one-to-one with the side end faces of the main joint 2 and the distal joint 3.

[0017] The torso body 1 is equipped with an eye-lighting element 6 that simulates an eye and a first switch 7 that simulates a nose and mouth, which are connected to the control circuit. The first switch 7 controls the eye-lighting element 6 to emit light. The eye-lighting element 6 is an LED light. The first switch 7 is a boat-shaped switch and the upper and lower surfaces are marked with symbols representing the nose and mouth, forming a structure in which the first switch 7 moves up and down to make the nose and mouth interact with the eye-lighting element 6.

[0018] The torso body 1 is equipped with a working light-emitting element 8 that simulates internal components. The working light-emitting element 8 is an LED light. The torso body 1 is equipped with a control switch 9 corresponding to each working light-emitting element 8. The control switch 9 is connected to the control circuit to form a control structure that controls the working light-emitting element 8 individually.

[0019] Preferably, the elastic rope 4 is composed of multiple elastic lines, and the ends of the elastic lines are respectively connected to the end joints 3 to form a multi-end joint structure for robot operation.
