Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a doll, and more specifically to a dancing doll with improved structure. Background Technology

[0002] Dolls are popular toys among infants and toddlers, especially those with built-in motors. These dolls often light up, make sounds, and perform simple movements, making them a favorite among young children. However, currently, most dolls exhibit similar movements, typically limited to walking and other simple actions, lacking the range of motion required for more complex actions like dancing. This results in monotonous movements, low playability, and an inability to stand out from the competition.

[0003] To address this, the applicant improved upon the existing toy and applied for a patent, patent publication number CN218529766U, entitled "Toy Dancing Robot." It includes a body, a dancing motion generating device, a power supply, two arms, a first large shoe-length leg, and a second large shoe-length leg. The dancing motion generating device is located inside the body, and the power supply is mounted on the body. The tops of the two arms are rotatably mounted on the shoulders on either side of the body. The upper parts of the first and second large shoe-length legs extend from the bottom of the body upwards and are mounted on the dancing motion generating device. Because of the dancing motion generating device, the body can automatically move up and down and sway, and the movement of the body causes the two arms to rotate. The device also causes the first and second large shoe-length legs to swing left and right. These movements work together to allow the toy dancing robot to continuously perform dancing actions, producing a good visual effect and greatly increasing its appeal to infants and toddlers.

[0004] However, since the aforementioned dolls have been on the market, a large number of similar products have emerged, resulting in serious homogenization. Therefore, it is necessary to improve its structure so that it can perform more attractive actions and stand out from the competition with similar products. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a structurally improved dancing doll that can alternate between the appearance of a large-headed doll (only having a head) and the appearance of a normal doll (with a body), thereby allowing for significant changes in the doll's appearance and movements. The technical solution adopted is as follows:

[0006] An improved dancing doll includes a torso, a dancing motion generating device, a power supply, two arms, and two large shoe legs. The torso includes a body shell unit and a head shell unit. The dancing motion generating device is disposed inside the body shell unit. The power supply is installed on the dancing motion generating device and is electrically connected to it. The tops of the two arms are rotatably mounted on the shoulders on both sides of the body shell unit. The upper parts of the two large shoe legs extend from the bottom of the body shell unit upwards into the body shell unit and are mounted on the dancing motion generating device. The dancing motion generating device drives the two large shoe legs to swing. The doll is characterized by further including a head shell lifting drive turntable. The head shell unit is vertically and vertically mounted on the outer wall of the body shell unit. A transverse sliding groove is installed on the inner wall of the head shell unit. The head shell lifting drive turntable is mounted on the dancing motion generating device and is vertically positioned. The dancing motion generating device drives the head shell lifting drive turntable to rotate. A lever is provided off-center on the outer wall of the head shell lifting drive turntable. The lever is inserted into the transverse sliding groove and can drive the head shell unit to vertically lift and lower.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the dance motion generating device includes a frame, a motor, and a gear transmission mechanism. The motor and gear transmission mechanism are respectively mounted on the frame. The motor is electrically connected to a power source, and the motor drives the head shell to lift and rotate the turntable through the gear transmission mechanism.

[0008] A more optimized solution involves a driven gear on the inner wall of the head shell lifting drive turntable. Multiple passive teeth are arranged on the circumferential surface of the driven gear. The dancing motion generating device further includes a head shell lifting drive gear and a large gear. The head shell lifting drive gear and the large gear are fixed together and rotatably mounted on the frame. The large gear is connected to a gear transmission mechanism. The circumferential surface of the head shell lifting drive gear has a smooth, toothless arc surface and multiple active teeth that can mesh with the passive teeth. The active teeth can mesh with the passive teeth, thus causing the head shell lifting drive gear to drive the driven gear to rotate. However, the smooth, toothless arc surface cannot mesh with the passive teeth, therefore, the head shell lifting drive gear cannot drive the passive gear to rotate at this time.

[0009] A better solution is to provide at least one crescent-shaped tooth on the circumferential surface of the driven gear. The crescent-shaped tooth can not only mesh with the driving tooth, but also better cooperate with the smooth toothless arc surface, avoiding damage to both the smooth toothless arc surface and too many driven teeth due to friction, which would reduce the lifespan of the toy.

[0010] A preferred embodiment is that the head shell unit has a bottom opening, so that when the head shell unit is lowered to its lowest point, it completely covers the outside of the body shell unit. In other words, the size of the bottom opening of the head shell unit is larger than the size of the body shell unit, allowing the head shell unit to completely cover the outside of the body shell unit. This enables the dancing doll to transform into a large-headed doll with only a head, or to revert to a normal doll (with a body), making the doll's movements and appearance significantly different from before, providing a strong visual impact to users (especially infants and young children).

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the front side of the outer wall of the body shell unit is provided with at least one vertical slider, and the front side of the inner wall of the head shell unit is provided with at least one first vertical groove. The number of vertical sliders and the number of first vertical grooves are the same and they correspond one-to-one. Each vertical slider is inserted into the corresponding first vertical groove and can slide relative to the first vertical groove.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the rear side of the outer wall of the body shell unit is provided with at least one vertical sliding sleeve, and the rear side of the inner wall of the head shell unit is provided with at least one second vertical sliding groove. The number of vertical sliding sleeves and the number of second vertical sliding grooves are the same and they correspond one-to-one. Each vertical sliding sleeve is fitted onto the corresponding second vertical sliding groove and can slide relative to the second vertical sliding groove.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the head shell unit includes a front head shell assembly and a rear head shell assembly, and the front head shell assembly and the rear head shell assembly are connected to form a head shell unit using multiple first fasteners.

[0014] A better embodiment is that the body shell unit includes a front body assembly and a rear body assembly, and the front body assembly and the rear body assembly are connected to form a body shell unit by a plurality of second fasteners.

[0015] The beneficial effect of this utility model compared with the prior art is that, due to the improvement of the structure, the head shell unit can be raised and lowered vertically. Therefore, the dancing doll can be transformed into a large-headed doll with only a head, or it can be restored to a normal doll (with a body). This makes the doll's image and movements very different, which can bring a strong visual impact to users (especially infants and young children) and greatly enhance the attractiveness of the dancing doll.

[0027] like Figure 1-11As shown, an improved dancing doll in one embodiment of this application includes a body shell 1, a dancing motion generating device 2, a power source (not shown in the figure), two arms 3, and two large shoe legs 4. The body shell 1 includes a body shell unit 101 and a head shell unit 102. The dancing motion generating device 2 is disposed inside the body shell unit 101. The power source is installed on the dancing motion generating device 2 and is electrically connected to the dancing motion generating device 2. The tops of the two arms 3 are rotatably mounted on the shoulders on both sides of the body shell unit 101. The upper parts of the two large shoe legs 4 extend from the bottom of the body shell unit 101 into the body shell unit 101 from bottom to top and are mounted on the dancing motion generating device 2. The dancing motion generating device 2 drives the two large shoe legs 4 to swing. The dancing doll also includes a head shell lifting drive turntable 5. The head shell unit 102 is vertically and vertically mounted on the outer wall of the body shell unit 101. A transverse slide groove 103 is installed on the inner wall of the head shell unit 102. The head shell lifting drive turntable 5 is mounted on the dancing motion generating device 2 and is vertically positioned. The dancing motion generating device 2 drives the head shell lifting drive turntable 5 to rotate. A lever 501 is provided off-center on the outer wall of the head shell lifting drive turntable 5. The lever 501 is inserted into the transverse slide groove 103 and can drive the head shell unit 102 to rise and fall vertically. The rotation of the lever 501 is converted into the rising and falling of the head shell unit 102 by the transverse slide groove 103. In this embodiment, the power source is a battery.

[0028] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in one alternative embodiment, the transverse groove 103 extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the head shell unit 102.

[0029] like Figure 9-11 As shown, in an alternative embodiment, the dance motion generating device 2 includes a frame 201, a motor 202, and a gear transmission mechanism 203. The motor 202 and the gear transmission mechanism 203 are respectively mounted on the frame 201. The motor 202 is electrically connected to a power source. The motor 202 drives the head shell to lift and rotate the turntable 5 through the gear transmission mechanism 203.

[0030] like Figure 2 , 5As shown in Figure 6, in an alternative embodiment, the inner wall of the head shell lifting drive turntable 5 has a driven gear 502. Multiple passive teeth 5021 are arranged on the circumferential surface of the driven gear 502. The dancing motion generating device 2 also includes a head shell lifting drive gear 204 and a large gear 205. The head shell lifting drive gear 204 and the large gear 205 are fixed together and rotatably mounted on the frame 201. The large gear 205 is connected to the gear transmission mechanism 203. The circumferential surface of the head shell lifting drive gear 204 has a smooth, toothless arc surface 2041 and multiple active teeth 2042 that can mesh with the passive teeth 5021. The active teeth 2042 can mesh with the passive teeth 5021, thereby causing the head shell lifting drive gear 204 to drive the driven gear 502 to rotate. The smooth, toothless arc surface 2041 cannot mesh with the passive teeth 5021, therefore, the head shell lifting drive gear 204 cannot drive the passive teeth 5021 to rotate.

[0031] like Figure 5 , 10 As shown in Figure 11, in an alternative embodiment, at least one crescent-shaped tooth 5022 is further provided on the circumferential surface of the driven gear 502. The crescent-shaped tooth 5022 can not only mesh with the driving tooth 2042, but also better cooperate with the smooth toothless arc surface 2041, avoiding damage to both the smooth toothless arc surface 2041 and too many passive teeth 5021 due to friction, thus reducing the service life of the toy.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in one alternative embodiment, the number of passive teeth 5021 is 4 and the number of crescent teeth 5022 is 2.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in an alternative embodiment, two mounting posts 1031 are provided on the inner sidewall of the head shell unit 102, and two parallel connecting rods 1032 are installed between the two mounting posts 1031. A transverse sliding groove 103 is formed between the two mounting posts 1031 and the two connecting rods 1032. In this embodiment, the connecting rods 1032 are made of metal wire because they are low in cost and easy to install and disassemble.

[0034] like Figure 1-3As shown, in one alternative embodiment, the head shell unit 102 has a bottom opening at its bottom end, so that when the head shell unit 102 is lowered to its lowest position, it completely covers the outside of the body shell unit 101. That is, the size of the bottom opening of the head shell unit 102 is larger than the size of the body shell unit 101, so the head shell unit 102 can completely cover the outside of the body shell unit 101. This allows the dancing doll to transform into a large-headed doll with only a head, or to revert to a normal doll (with a body), making the doll's movements and appearance very different from before, and bringing a strong visual impact to the user (especially infants and young children).

[0035] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, in one alternative embodiment, the front side of the outer wall of the body shell unit 101 is provided with at least one vertical slider 1011, and the front side of the inner wall of the head shell unit 102 is provided with at least one first vertical groove 1021. The number of vertical sliders 1011 and the number of first vertical grooves 1021 are the same and they correspond one-to-one. Each vertical slider 1011 is inserted into the corresponding first vertical groove 1021 and can slide relative to the first vertical groove 1021. In this embodiment, the number of vertical sliders 1011 and the number of first vertical grooves 1021 are both two.

[0036] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in an alternative embodiment, the rear side of the outer wall of the body shell unit 101 is provided with at least one vertical sliding sleeve 1012, and the rear side of the inner wall of the head shell unit 102 is provided with at least one second vertical sliding groove 1022. The number of vertical sliding sleeves 1012 and the number of second vertical sliding grooves 1022 are the same and they correspond one-to-one. Each vertical sliding sleeve 1012 is fitted onto the corresponding second vertical sliding groove 1022 and can slide relative to the second vertical sliding groove 1022. In this embodiment, the number of vertical sliding sleeves 1012 and the number of second vertical sliding grooves 1022 are both two.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in an alternative embodiment, the head shell unit 102 includes a front head shell assembly 1023 and a rear head shell assembly 1024, which are connected to form the head shell unit 102 by a plurality of first fasteners (not shown).

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in an alternative embodiment, the body shell unit 101 includes a front body assembly 1013 and a rear body assembly 1014, which are connected to form the body shell unit 101 by a plurality of second fasteners (not shown).

[0039] The following is combined with Figure 1-11 Let me introduce the work process:

[0040] The power supply is provided by motor 202, which drives the two large shoe legs 4 to swing through gear transmission mechanism 203. Gear transmission mechanism 203 also drives head shell lifting drive gear 204 to rotate through large gear 205. Head shell lifting drive gear 204 drives driven gear 502 to rotate intermittently, and head shell lifting drive turntable 5 rotates intermittently accordingly. Through the rotation of lever 501, the head shell unit 102 is converted into intermittent lifting and lowering through transverse slide 103. In this way, the dancing doll will continuously swing the two large shoe legs 4 back and forth to sway the body shell unit 101 to dance once. Every once in a while, the head shell unit 102 will descend and cover the body shell unit 101, turning the dancing doll into a large-headed doll with only a head to dance again. Then, after a period of time, it will rise back to the original position. This continuous change of appearance and movement brings a good visual impact to the user and greatly increases the attraction to the user (especially infants and young children).

[0041] Furthermore, it should be noted that the names of the various parts of the specific embodiments described in this specification may differ. All equivalent or simple variations made to the structure, features, and principles described in this utility model patent concept are included within the protection scope of this utility model patent. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of this utility model or exceed the scope defined in these claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
