[0002] In the world of dolls, human-shaped toys are a relatively popular category. The eye module is one of the defining characteristics of human-shaped dolls, and the design, color, and shape of the eyes are factors that determine the doll's aesthetic appeal.

[0003] Existing eyeball modules, such as Chinese Patent 202322263778.9, use a rotating rod with an eyeball drive gear that meshes with an eyeball driven gear; and another rotating rod with an eyelid drive gear that meshes with an eyelid driven gear. This invention has a clever structure that allows for free adjustment of the doll's head and face, as well as the opening and closing of the eyelids, increasing the fun of the doll toy.

[0004] However, its eye and eyelid adjustment structure is quite complex, resulting in high assembly costs. In addition, its eyes are a fixed structure and cannot be replaced according to actual needs. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes an eyeball module for toys, comprising:

[0007] The eye shell is a cavity with an opening at the front end, and a positioning rod extends from the eye shell toward the opening. The front end of the positioning rod is provided with a ball head.

[0008] An eye assembly is mounted on a ball head and is rotatable along the axis of the ball head at the front end of a positioning rod. The eye assembly has an opening that extends partially, and an adjustment gap is provided between the inner wall of the opening and the outer wall of the eye assembly.

[0009] An eyelid assembly with swing-mounted openings at both ends, and the eyelid assembly can swing between a position for extending into and adjusting the spacing or a position for obscuring the eye assembly.

[0010] In the actual design, the eye module is set up as an eye shell, an eye assembly, and an eyelid assembly. During installation, the eye assembly is installed on the ball head of the positioning rod, and the eye assembly is adjusted by the relative rotation of the ball head and the eye assembly.

[0011] At the same time, through reasonable design, an adjustable gap is set between the eye shell and the eye component, thereby enabling the adjustment of the eyelid component, resulting in a simple and stable structure. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an eyeball module for a toy includes:

[0030] Eye shell 1, the eye shell 1 is a cavity with an opening 10 at the front end, the eye shell 1 has a positioning rod 2 extending in the direction of the opening 10, and the front end of the positioning rod 2 has a ball head 20;

[0031] Eye assembly 3 is mounted on ball head 20 and can rotate along the axis of ball head 20 at the front end of positioning rod 2. Eye assembly 3 has an opening 10 and partially extends out. An adjustment gap 13 is provided between the inner wall of the opening 10 and the outer wall of the eye assembly 3.

[0032] The eyelid assembly 4 has swing-mounted openings at both ends, and the eyelid assembly 4 can swing between the position of extending into the adjustment spacing 13 or the position of covering the eye assembly 3.

[0033] In the actual design, the eye module is set as an eye shell 1, an eye component 3 and an eyelid component 4. During installation, the eye component 3 is installed on the ball head 20 of the positioning rod 2, and the eye component 3 is adjusted by the relative rotation of the ball head 20 and the eye component 3.

[0034] Meanwhile, through reasonable design, an adjustable gap is set between the eye shell 1 and the eye component 3, thereby enabling the adjustment of the eyelid component 4, resulting in a simple and stable structure.

[0035] Specifically, the eye shell 1 includes a hollow cylindrical tube 11 and a cover 12 disposed at the rear end of the hollow cylindrical tube 11, the hollow cylindrical tube 11 and the cover 12 forming the cavity with an opening at the front end;

[0036] The positioning rod 2 is located on the cover 12.

[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, the cover 12 is provided with a positioning part 51, the positioning part 51 is provided with a positioning hole 52, and the positioning rod 2 is installed in the positioning hole 52 by means of screw structure, thread structure, snap-fit ​​structure, ultrasonic welding or glue. During installation, the positioning rod 2 is inserted into the positioning hole 52 and then fixed. In this application, screw fixing is used.

[0038] Specifically, the cover 12 is installed on the inner wall of the hollow round tube 11 by means of screw structure, thread structure, snap-fit ​​structure, ultrasonic welding or glue. Of course, it can also be installed on the outer wall. Relatively speaking, setting it on the inner wall can make the overall structure more compact.

[0039] In this application, a snap-fit ​​fixing method is used.

[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, the cover 12 extends forward with a hook 61, and the inner wall of the hollow tube 11 is provided with a locking hole 62 that cooperates with the hook 61. The hook 61 can be hooked into the locking hole 62. The outer wall of the hollow tube 11 is provided with a buckle, wherein the buckle is used to facilitate the installation of the eye shell 1 on the doll product.

[0041] Specifically, the eye assembly 3 includes a sphere 30 with a semi-circular groove 31 on its rear wall and a positioning cover 32 detachably mounted on the rear wall of the sphere 30.

[0042] The positioning cover 32 is provided with a through hole 33. After passing through the positioning rod 2, the positioning cover 32 is connected to the ball 30. The positioning cover 32 and the semi-circular groove 31 form a ball groove that matches the ball head 20. The maximum inner diameter of the semi-circular groove 31 is compatible with the maximum outer diameter of the ball 30. Therefore, the positioning cover is used to limit the movement, thereby realizing the mutual rotation between the ball groove and the ball head 20.

[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, the ball head 20 is provided with a groove 71, and the groove is provided with a damping ring 72, thereby realizing the relative rotation between the ball head 20 and the eye assembly 3, and realizing the stop limit of the eye assembly 3, and providing a damping feel for the rotation. In actual use, the eye assembly 3 can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0044] Specifically, the front wall of the sphere 30 is provided with a slot 81, and the slot 81 is provided with a detachable and replaceable pupil piece 82. The front wall of the pupil piece is arc-shaped, and the pupil piece can be replaced according to actual requirements, such as by magnetic fixation, thread fixation or buckle fixation, so as to facilitate replacement.

[0045] In the actual replacement process, for example, transparent materials or colorful materials can be used to achieve different eye colors, thereby providing playability and design versatility for the doll.

[0046] In this embodiment of the utility model, the eyelid assembly 4 includes an arc-shaped main body and pivot parts 41 disposed on both sides of the arc-shaped main body. The inner wall of the cavity is provided with pivot holes 42 on both sides that cooperate with the pivot parts 41. During installation, pressure is applied to deform the two pivot parts 41 of the arc-shaped main body inward and then lock them into the pivot holes 42.

[0047] Specifically, any one of the pivoting parts 41 of the arc-shaped main body extends out of the outer wall of the eye shell 1. The pivoting part 41 is provided with a gear 91. The eye shell 1 is provided with an outer shell. The outer shell is provided with a spring piece 92 that abuts against the gear. The spring piece can limit the gear. At the same time, when the eyelid rotates, the spring piece and the gear abut against each other and will also produce a locking sound, thereby improving the user experience. At the same time, the structure is relatively simple. While achieving the sound experience, the angle of the eyelid component 4 can also be adjusted.

[0048] The upper end of the arc-shaped body is provided with an outwardly extending actuating part, which facilitates the swing adjustment of the eyelid assembly.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
