Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronically controlled toy technology, and in particular to a dancing drive mechanism and a dancing toy. Background Technology

[0002] Toys are an important form of entertainment for children, bringing them much joy and, to some extent, developing their intelligence. Toys are now divided into static and dynamic toys. Static toys attract children with their shapes and colors, but due to their lack of dynamism, they are less likely to capture children's interest. Dynamic toys, on the other hand, are increasingly popular with children due to their interactivity and fun, and have gradually become the mainstream products in the toy market.

[0003] However, current electric dancing toys on the market have the following shortcomings. Existing electric dancing toys have stiff and monotonous movements, lacking agility and fluidity, resulting in poor playability and failing to effectively attract children's interest. At the same time, the drive mechanisms of various parts of these toys are complex, often requiring multiple motors to control the movements of different limbs, which not only increases the production cost of the product but also makes the internal structure of the toy complicated. In addition, too many parts lead to a loose overall structure, an insufficiently tight transmission mechanism, and an unreasonable design, reducing the stability and lifespan of the product, and also increasing energy consumption and maintenance difficulty.

[0033] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0034] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a dancing drive mechanism, which includes a mechanism 3, a swing arm unit 4, a swing unit 5, a head swing unit 6, and a drive unit 7.

[0035] The arm swing unit 4 is movably mounted on the mechanism 3 and is used to simulate the arm swing in a dance movement; the swing unit 5 is movably mounted on the mechanism 3 and connected to the output end of the mechanism 3, and is used to simulate the body swing in a dance movement; the head swing unit 6 is mounted on the arm swing unit 4 and is used to simulate the head swing in a dance movement, driven by the movement of the arm swing unit 4; the drive unit 7 is mounted on the mechanism and connected to the output end of the mechanism 3, and is used to drive the arm swing unit 4 to swing, thereby driving the head swing unit 6 to swing, and driving the swing unit 5 to swing.

[0036] The swing unit 5 includes a support leg 501, an eccentric wheel 502, a sliding column 503, and a sliding column 504. The support leg 501 has an inverted Y-shaped structure. The eccentric wheel 502 is rotatably mounted on the mechanism 3 and connected to the output end of the mechanism 3. The support leg 501 is eccentrically mounted on the eccentric wheel 502. The support leg 501 is provided with a guide groove 5011. The sliding column 503 is mounted on the housing 202 and is slidably mounted in the guide groove 5011. The sliding column 504 is mounted on the mechanism housing 301 and is slidably mounted in the guide groove 5011, which is used to drive the mechanism 3 to swing relative to each other.

[0037] The mechanism 3 includes a mechanism shell 301, a second motor 302, a belt drive assembly 303, and a gear drive assembly 304. The second motor 302 is mounted on the mechanism shell 301, and its output end is connected to the belt drive assembly 303. The output end of the belt drive assembly 303 is connected to the gear drive assembly 304. The output end of the gear drive assembly 304 is connected to the eccentric wheel 502 and the drive unit 7, respectively. The mechanism 3 is used to drive the swing unit 5 and the drive unit 7 to rotate, and to drive the mechanism 3, the swing arm unit 4, and the swing head unit 6 to swing.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the second motor 302 is started, the belt drive assembly 303 drives the gear drive assembly 304 to operate. The belt drive assembly 303 is a belt reduction transmission structure, which can transmit the torque generated by the second motor 302 to the gear drive assembly 304. The gear drive assembly 304 is a gear reduction transmission structure, and the two ends of the output end are connected to the first eccentric wheel 502 and the second eccentric wheel 701 respectively, so as to drive the support leg 501 and the swing frame 702 to rotate simultaneously. The reduction transmission structure can reduce the speed and increase the torque, thereby reducing the speed of the dancing movements and avoiding the impact of the high speed of the second motor 302 on the use.

[0039] When the eccentric wheel 502 rotates, the lower end of the support leg 501 is fixed on the support unit 1, so the support leg 501 is in a relatively fixed state. When the eccentric wheel 502 rotates and drives the support leg 501 to swing, the sliding column 503 and the sliding column 504 slide in the guide groove 5011 to support the support leg 501, so that the support leg 501 drives the mechanism shell 301 to swing. The mechanism shell 301 drives the toy body 2 to swing, thereby realizing the swing of the entire toy body 2 and performing multi-range movements. The support leg 501 is in a relatively fixed state, while the mechanism 3 drives the toy body to swing relative to each other, thereby realizing the multi-directional swing of the toy.

[0040] In this invention, the mechanism 3 drives the rocking unit 5 to make the toy body 2 rock and sway. The drive unit 7 drives the swing arm unit 4 and the swing head unit 6 to swing while the toy body 2 is rocking and swaying, thereby achieving multi-range movement and increasing the visual appeal of rocking and dancing.

[0041] Example 2: Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a dancing drive mechanism. Compared with Embodiment 1, the swing arm unit 4 in this embodiment includes two swing arms 401, two connecting rods 402 and a slide rod 403. One end of each connecting rod 402 is hinged to the corresponding swing arm 401, and the other end is hinged to the slide rod 403. The slide rod 403 is mounted on the swing head unit 6 and driven by the drive unit 7.

[0042] The head-swinging unit 6 includes a swing rod 601 and a support column 603. The swing rod 601 is provided with a sliding groove 602. The support column 603 is inserted into and can slide within the sliding groove 602 to limit the movement trajectory of the swing rod. The swing rod 601 is hinged to the slide rod 403 to convert the movement of the slide rod 601 into the swinging motion of the head. The swinging of the swing rod 601 can drive the toy head 203 to swing, thereby enabling the toy head 203 of the dancing toy to swing and increase its visual appeal.

[0043] The drive unit 7 includes an eccentric wheel 701, a swing frame 702, a support column 703, and a support column 704. The swing frame 702 is provided with a sliding groove 7021 and a sliding groove 7022. The eccentric wheel 701 is rotatably mounted on the movement housing 301 and connected to the output end of the gear transmission assembly 304. The swing frame 702 is rotatably mounted on the movement housing 301. The support column 703 is eccentrically mounted on the eccentric wheel 701 and slidably mounted in the sliding groove 7021. The support column 704 is mounted on the slide rod 403 and slidably mounted in the sliding groove 7022.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the movement 3 drives the eccentric wheel 701 to rotate, the eccentric wheel 701 drives the support column 703 to move. The support column 703 slides in the sliding groove 7021, thereby driving the swing frame 702 to swing. The swing frame 702 rotates and swings on the movement housing 301. When the swing frame 702 swings, it pushes the support column 704 to move left and right through the sliding groove 7022. When the support column 704 moves left and right, it drives the slide rod 403 to move left and right. The slide rod 403 drives the swing rod 601 to move. The sliding groove 602 provides space for the swing rod 601 to move, while the support column 603 is used to support the swing rod 601, so that the swing rod 601 can swing and produce a dancing motion to increase the visual appeal.

[0045] The sliding rod 403 drives the connecting rod 402 to move, and the connecting rod 402 drives the swing arm 401 to rotate, so that the swing arm 401 can swing. Then, a ribbon is attached to the swing arm 401, so that the ribbon can be moved and swung by the swing arm 401, producing a dancing motion and increasing the visual appeal.

[0046] Example 3: Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention proposes a dancing drive mechanism, which includes a support unit 1 and a toy body 2, and also includes the aforementioned dancing drive mechanism.

[0047] The support unit 1 includes a base 101, a rotating seat 102 rotatably mounted on the base 101, a reducer 103 mounted on the rotating seat 102 for driving the base 101 to rotate, and a first motor 104 mounted on the reducer 103 with its output end connected to the reducer 103. An eccentric wheel 502 is mounted on the rotating seat 102.

[0048] The toy body 2 includes a first shell 201, a second shell 202, a toy head 203, and a battery box 204. The mechanism shell 301 is disposed inside the second shell 202, the swing arm 401 is rotatably disposed on the second shell 202, and the first support column 603 is disposed on the second shell 202 to support and restrict the swing arm 601. The first shell 201 is disposed on the second shell 202, the toy head 203 is disposed at the upper end of the swing arm 601, and the battery box 204 is disposed on the second shell 202 and electrically connected to the first motor 104 and the second motor 302. The battery box 204 is used to install batteries, thereby providing power to the first motor 104 and the second motor 302, and a speaker can be installed inside so that sound can be emitted when dancing.

[0049] In this embodiment, when started, the first motor 104 is driven by the reducer 103 to reduce speed, so that the reducer 103 drives the base 101 to rotate relative to the rotating seat 102, thereby causing the rotating seat 102 to rotate, which in turn drives the rocking unit 5 to rotate. The rocking unit 5 drives the mechanism 3 to rotate, and the mechanism 3 can drive the toy body 2 to rotate, so that the dancing mechanism can rotate while rocking, increasing the visual appeal of the dance.

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
