[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A type of movable joint structure for trendy toys, comprising:

[0025] The main body of the drive rod 1 and the limb end 7 are provided. The side wall of the main body of the drive rod 1 is provided with two intersecting T-shaped grooves 2 that form a cross shape. The intersection of the T-shaped grooves 2 is connected. The outer wall of the limb end 7 is fixedly connected with a connecting seat 8.

[0026] The slider assembly includes a square slider 3 that is slidably connected inside the T-shaped groove 2, a connecting rod 4 that extends to the outside of the T-shaped groove 2 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the square slider 3, and a ball head mounting plate 5 that is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 4. A connecting ball head 6 for connecting the limbs of the figure is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ball head mounting plate 5, and a ball socket 9 that matches the connecting ball head 6 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting seat 8.

[0027] The magnetic positioning assembly includes magnetic metal strips 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive rod body 1 and located on both sides of the T-shaped slide groove 2, and two magnetic blocks 11 fixedly connected to one end of the ball head mounting plate 5 near the drive rod body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment: the displacement adjustment of the connection point is achieved by the sliding cooperation between the T-shaped sliding groove 2 intersecting the side wall of the drive rod body 1 and the internal square slider 3. The square slider 3 drives the ball head mounting plate 5 to move along the path of the T-shaped sliding groove 2 via the connecting rod 4, so that the connecting ball head 6 can be freely positioned in the two-dimensional plane, thereby increasing the movable range of the connection point. In the magnetic positioning assembly, the magnetic block 11 of the ball head mounting plate 5 and the magnetic metal strips 10 on both sides of the drive rod body 1 attract each other, forming progressive damping when sliding. After release, the position is fixed by magnetic attraction, which is convenient for fixing. After the connecting ball head 6 is embedded in the ball socket 9 of the limb end 7, multi-directional rotation is achieved through clearance cooperation. The engagement of the anti-dislodgement protrusion 12 and the limiting groove 13 prevents the joint from loosening.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the width of the T-shaped groove 2 is 1.05-1.15 times the side length of the square slider 3, and the depth of the groove is 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of the square slider 3.

[0030] In this embodiment, the width of the T-shaped groove 2 is 1.05-1.15 times the side length of the square slider 3, and the depth of the groove is 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of the square slider 3, so that the square slider 3 slides more stably.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the magnetic metal strip 10 is continuously arranged along the extension direction of the T-shaped groove 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the magnetic metal strips 10 are continuously arranged along the extension direction of the T-shaped groove 2, so that the magnetic metal strips 10 are set in the entire sliding path, which facilitates the adsorption and fixation of the ball head mounting plate 5.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a transition fillet is provided at the intersection of the two T-shaped grooves 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the intersection of the two T-shaped slides 2 is provided with a transition rounded corner to facilitate the transition and transfer of the square slider 3 and avoid jamming.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a clearance fit is provided between the connecting ball head 6 and the ball socket 9, the surface of the connecting ball head 6 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion 12, and a corresponding limiting groove 13 is opened on the inner wall of the ball socket 9.

[0036] In this embodiment: after the ball head 6 is embedded in the ball socket 9 of the limb end 7, multi-directional rotation is achieved through clearance fit, and the engagement of the anti-dislodgement protrusion 12 and the limiting groove 13 prevents the joint from loosening.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 2 is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.

[0038] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 2 is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating to improve the corrosion resistance and lubricity of the inner side of the T-shaped groove 2.

[0039] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the magnetic block 11 is a neodymium iron boron magnet.

[0040] In this embodiment, the magnetic block 11 is a neodymium iron boron magnet, which is convenient for adsorption and fixation with the magnetic metal strip 10.

[0041] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The displacement adjustment of the connection point is achieved through the sliding cooperation between the T-shaped sliding groove 2 intersecting on the side wall of the drive rod body 1 and the internal square slider 3. The square slider 3 drives the ball head mounting plate 5 to move along the path of the T-shaped sliding groove 2 via the connecting rod 4, so that the connecting ball head 6 can be freely positioned in a two-dimensional plane. In the magnetic positioning component, the magnetic block 11 of the ball head mounting plate 5 and the magnetic metal strips 10 on both sides of the drive rod body 1 attract each other, forming progressive damping when sliding, and fixing the position by magnetic attraction after release. After the connecting ball head 6 is embedded in the ball socket 9 of the limb end 7, multi-directional rotation is achieved through clearance cooperation. The engagement of the anti-dislodgement protrusion 12 and the limiting groove 13 prevents the joint from loosening.
