Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of headband technology, specifically a movable animal ear headband. Background Technology
[0002] Commercially available movable animal ears typically employ three types of oscillation mechanisms. The first type uses a vertically positioned mechanical oscillation axis to simulate the left-right oscillation of an animal's ear. The second type uses a horizontally positioned oscillation axis to simulate a forward-backward oscillation. The third type combines the two oscillation mechanisms, placing the horizontal oscillation axis above the vertical oscillation axis to simulate both left-right oscillation and forward-backward oscillation with folded ears.
[0003] The shortcomings of existing movable animal ear headbands: Existing movable cat ears and movable animal ear products can simulate the left and right or forward and backward swinging of the ears by controlling motors. Some products can even create the effect of folded ears by combining machines. However, the problem with existing products is that the swinging movements are monotonous, the biomimetic simulation effect is not realistic, and the dynamics are rigid. The dynamic effect of movable ears with a single ear and dual motors is better than that of single motors. However, the problem is that the control box is too large and needs to be placed separately on one side of the head, which is not easy to hide. Moreover, the simulated dynamic effects of the above types of ears are based on fixing the ears vertically on the head, which makes the ear base fixed and unable to fold down. Therefore, it is impossible to simulate the dynamic effect of the ears of animals such as cats and dogs lying down or sticking back to the head in nature. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a movable animal ear headband, including a headband and two silicone bases installed on the outside of the headband, as well as a biomimetic structure installed on top of the silicone bases;
[0005] The biomimetic structure includes two separate bases mounted on the top surface of a silicone base and a torsion shaft mounted behind the separate bases. An angled base is rotatably connected to the outside of the torsion shaft, and a top shell is rotatably connected to the top of the angled base.
[0006] Preferably, the inner walls of the two separate bases contain an A servo motor, a battery, and a circuit board. The silicone base and the headband are connected by a through-hole locking mechanism to ensure the consistency of the forward angle of the ears after wearing.
[0007] Preferably, it also includes an upper servo and a middle servo located between the angled base and the top housing, wherein the torsion shaft connects the A servo and the middle servo at a specific angle and can also accommodate the servo arm inside.
[0008] Preferably, the angled base provides a stable rotating platform for the upper-mounted servo motor, and the angled base adopts an angled design, which reduces the overall installation height of the upper-mounted servo motor and reduces the gap between the upper-mounted motor and the middle-mounted motor.
[0009] Preferably, the top outer shell serves as the skeleton and shape of the ear cover for the upper servo motor.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] This invention utilizes a biomimetic structure design and incorporates a third motor to specifically control the directional dynamics of the movable ear on the head. This third motor is connected to the other three motors via a specially designed series buckle. By controlling the different pointing angles of the three motors, it can not only simulate the biomimetic dynamic effects already available on the market, but also simulate postures that other products cannot achieve, including but not limited to overall back-and-forth swinging, side swinging, side-lying down to fit the head, and back-lying down to fit the head.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a movable animal ear headband, including a headband 1 and two silicone bases 2 installed on the outside of the headband 1, as well as a bionic structure 3 installed on the silicone bases 2.
[0019] The biomimetic structure 3 includes two separate bases 31 mounted on the top surface of the silicone base 2 and a torsion shaft 32 mounted behind the separate bases 31. An angled base 33 is rotatably connected to the outside of the torsion shaft 32, and a top shell 34 is rotatably connected to the top of the angled base 33.
[0020] The above solution, through the innovative design of biomimetic structure 3, introduces a third motor, greatly enriching the dynamic expression and directional control of the movable ear. It utilizes a specially designed series latch to tightly integrate with the existing A servo and upper servo, forming a highly efficient and collaborative three-motor system. The coordinated operation of these motors not only perfectly simulates existing biomimetic dynamic effects on the market, such as natural ear flapping and slight trembling, but also achieves unprecedented posture simulation. By precisely controlling the different directional angles of the three motors, the biomimetic ear can complete a series of complex movements, including but not limited to overall back-and-forth swaying to simulate listening or alertness; lateral swaying to express curiosity or exploration; and lateral and backward lying postures to fit the head. These movements vividly simulate the natural reactions of animal ears in different situations, providing users with a more immersive experience. In terms of design, the A servo is responsible for the basic ear swaying movements, the upper servo focuses on adjusting the ear's vertical tilt angle, and the directional control motor, through its unique series latch design, ensures precise directional dynamic control of the ear on the head. Three motors, each performing its specific function, work together to create a highly flexible and precise bionic ear control system. Furthermore, the two separate bases 31 are ingeniously designed; they not only serve as the battery compartment and circuit board housing for the ear, bearing the crucial responsibility of powering the motors and protecting the circuitry, but also as a stable base for the third motor. This integrated design simplifies the structure, improves overall stability, and makes the entire bionic ear device more compact and lightweight. Notably, the separate control box features a thinner and smaller design. This innovation allows the control box to better fit the head, reducing the feeling of foreign objects during wear and ensuring comfort during extended periods. Simultaneously, this design helps optimize the overall weight distribution, making the bionic ear more evenly and stably placed on the head, further enhancing the user's wearing experience. In summary, through the innovative design of the bionic structure 3, a highly flexible, precisely directional control, and excellent wearing comfort bionic ear device has been successfully achieved, bringing users an unprecedented immersive experience. This design not only showcases the charm of technology but also reflects our ultimate pursuit of detail and user experience.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the inner walls of the two split bases 31 contain a servo motor A, a battery, and a circuit board. The silicone base 2 and the headband 1 are connected by a through-hole locking mechanism to ensure the consistency of the forward angle of the ears after wearing. It also includes an upper servo motor and a middle servo motor located between the angled base 33 and the top shell 34. The torsion shaft 32 connects the servo motor A and the middle servo motor at a specific angle and can also accommodate the servo motor swing arm inside.
[0022] The above-mentioned solution: The innovative design of the silicone base 2 adopts a silicone snap-fit structure. This ingenious design not only ensures that the control box is securely embedded inside the silicone sleeve, but also makes the silicone sleeve serve two functions: it is both a stable base for the control box and a key bridge connecting the ear assembly and the headband 1. The design of this silicone sleeve incorporates angled slit elements, a feature that gives it extremely high compatibility, easily adapting to various headbands 1 on the market. Users can freely replace different headbands 1 according to their preferences and usage habits, adding more personalized choices to the wearing experience. In the design of the bionic animal ear, the torsion shaft 32 plays a crucial role. It is the core component for realizing the ear-folding function. This torsion shaft 32 cleverly connects the two servos at a specific angle, which is not only compact in structure, but also makes full use of the internal space, accommodating the servo arm. More conveniently, the entire... The installation of the torsion shaft 32 requires only two screws, greatly simplifying the assembly process. The benefits of this design are obvious. Since the servo is directly connected to the torsion shaft 32, the entire torsion shaft 32 will move in tandem when the base servo rotates, providing a dynamic and variable rotation plane for the central servo. This rotation plane is actually the central servo's stage, allowing it to exhibit a variety of posture changes according to different swing angles. As a component that is installed as a whole on the central servo, the ear cover will naturally also exhibit diverse postures with the movement of the central servo. Whether it is upright, tilted, sideways, or downward, it can be easily achieved through the swing of the base servo and the coordination of the central servo. This design not only enhances the agility and realism of the bionic animal ears, but also brings users a richer interactive experience.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the angled base 33 provides a stable rotating platform for the upper servo motor, and the angled base 33 adopts an angled design, which reduces the overall installation height of the upper servo motor and reduces the gap between the upper motor and the middle motor. The top shell 34 is the shell of the upper servo motor, which serves as the skeleton and shape of the ear cover.
[0024] The above scheme is adopted: the angled base 33 is the connection device between the middle servo and the upper servo. Its main function is to provide the upper servo with a stable rotation platform. The angled design of the angled base 33 is mainly to reduce the overall installation height of the upper servo, reduce the gap between the two servos, and facilitate the installation of small ear covers. Moreover, due to the angled arrangement, the top servo has one sharp corner facing upwards after installation, which increases the rotation distance and reduces the design difficulty of the ear cover tip.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model:
[0026] First, observe the through-hole connection structure between the silicone base 2 and the headband 1. Securely embed the headband 1 into the silicone base 2 using its silicone buckle structure, ensuring a stable connection between the headband 1 and the silicone base 2. This guarantees consistent forward angle of the ears after wearing. During this process, utilize the angled slits in the silicone sleeve to adapt to different headband styles. Turn on the power switch inside the split base 31, and the battery will power the A servo, upper servo, and middle servo. Through the separate control box, simple adjustments can be made upon first use. Set the initial angle of the three motors according to personal preference. When simulating natural ear flapping, the A servo starts working, causing the ear to perform basic swaying movements. To express a curious and inquisitive expression, adjust the upper servo through the control box to adjust the up-and-down tilt angle of the ear, working in conjunction with the A servo to achieve lateral swaying. To present an alert state, precisely control the three motors to make the ear complete overall forward and backward swaying. To simulate the relaxed posture of an animal with its ears tilted to the side or back against its head, simultaneously adjust the different pointing angles of the three motors through the control box to achieve realistic movements.
