Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, and in particular to a toy with flapping wings. Background Technology

[0002] Most children's wing toys on the market have wings with a fixed shape and are fixed to children's bodies in various ways. They lack fun, the shape of the wings cannot be controlled by the child, there is a lack of interaction with the child, and they cannot meet the child's psychological needs.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN218686339U discloses a mechanism for unfolding and retracting a children's wing toy. It includes a box body with openings on both sides. A partition is fixed inside the box body, dividing the inner cavity into an adjustment cavity and a drive cavity. Vertical guide holes and arc-shaped guide holes are provided on both the partition and the side wall of the box body. Two arc-shaped guide holes are symmetrically distributed around the vertical centerline of the box body. The vertical guide holes coincide with the vertical centerline of the box body. A wing linkage assembly is installed inside the drive cavity. The beneficial effects of this mechanism are: by setting up a box body and installing a wing linkage assembly and an adjustment assembly inside the box body, the wing linkage assembly, composed of multiple links, can form the skeleton of the wing toy. The wing extension and retraction can be achieved through the adjustment assembly. As the core mechanism of the wing toy, it enables interaction between the toy and the child, increasing its fun and better satisfying the child's psychological needs.

[0004] Although it can achieve the effect of opening and closing wings, it requires manual operation, and the wing rotation angle is limited. The product's simulation level is insufficient, which can easily cause fatigue for players and fail to meet children's psychological needs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a toy with flapping wings to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] A toy with flapping wings includes a main body, a drive assembly disposed within the main body, and a pair of wing assemblies disposed on the main body. The main body includes a frame. Each wing assembly includes a first wing connected to the frame, a first connecting structure connecting the first wing to a driven sprocket, a second wing connected to the first wing, a third wing connected to the second wing, a second connecting structure between the first wing and the frame, and two wing connecting structures for connection. The first, second, and third wings each include a wing skeleton and multiple feathers connected to the wing skeleton. The first connecting structure includes a connecting seat disposed on the driven sprocket, a connecting rod hinged to the connecting seat, and a connecting groove disposed on the first wing. The bottom of the rotating connecting seat is inserted into the driven sprocket and connected via a rotating bearing, with the axial direction of rotation parallel to the axial direction of the driven sprocket. One end of the rotating connecting rod is hinged to the rotating connecting seat, and the other end has a spherical connecting end disposed within the rotating connecting groove. The rotating connecting groove is a hemispherical groove. The spherical end of the rotating connecting rod is inserted into the rotating connecting groove. The second connecting structure is a connector disposed between the frame and the wing skeleton, which is hinged to the frame and the wing skeleton respectively, and the rotation axes of the two connections are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] Furthermore, the main body of the equipment also includes a head located at one end of the frame, a tail located at the other end of the frame, and a foot located on the frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive device mounted on the frame, a rotating sprocket mounted on the drive device, two driven sprockets mounted on the frame, a connecting spindle connecting the two driven sprockets, and a chain connecting the rotating sprocket and the driven sprockets.

[0009] Furthermore, the two driven sprockets are arranged on both sides of the frame, on both sides of the line connecting the head and the tail, and one of the driven sprockets and the rotating sprocket are on the same plane.

[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the driven sprocket is larger than the diameter of the rotating sprocket.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the wing skeleton is connected to the frame via the wing connection structure, and the other end extends freely in a direction away from the frame, with the extension direction being perpendicular to the arrangement direction from the head to the tail.

[0012] Furthermore, all the feathers are arranged sequentially along the wing skeleton, laid out in a parallel and overlapping manner. Each feather is connected to the wing skeleton at one end and extends freely at the other end perpendicular to the extension direction of the wing skeleton. The extension direction of the feathers is consistent with the arrangement direction from head to tail. The length of the feathers near the frame is greater than the length of the feathers located at the free end of the wing skeleton.

[0013] Furthermore, the two wing connection structures are respectively disposed between the first wing and the second wing, and between the second wing and the third wing.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the wing connection structures includes two wing connectors that are hinged to each other, and a connecting fixing shaft inserted at the junction of the two wing connectors. The wing connectors are respectively fixed on two adjacent wings and hinged to each other. The connecting fixing shaft is inserted at the hinge, and the axial direction of the connecting fixing shaft is perpendicular to the extension direction of the wing skeleton.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the toy with flapping wings provided by this utility model, through the setting of the first and second connecting structures, enables the wing assembly to perform mechanical reciprocating motion under the drive component, automatically forming wing flapping. The large flapping angle of the wings makes the product more realistic in mimicking the flight posture of birds, resulting in a high degree of realism. Furthermore, by setting the first, second, and third wings and connecting them using the wing connecting structure, the curvature of the wings can be freely adjusted, facilitating the simulation of different wing-spreading states of organisms. This enhances playability and interactivity, significantly improving the user's experience. The simulated main body of the device further enhances the realism of the product, making it more attractive to customers. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in further detail below. It should be understood that the description of the embodiments of this utility model herein is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a toy with flapping wings provided by this utility model. The toy with flapping wings includes a main body 10, a drive assembly 20 disposed within the main body 10, and a pair of wing assemblies 30 disposed on the main body 10. It is conceivable that the toy with flapping wings may also include other functional modules such as a battery compartment, an electronic switch, etc., which are technologies well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] The main body 10 of the device can be made of materials such as plastic, wood, metal, rubber, and paper products. In actual production, the material can be selected according to the age range of children for which the product is applicable. The main body 10 of the device includes a frame 11, a head 12 disposed at one end of the frame 11, a tail 13 disposed at the other end of the frame 11, and a foot 14 disposed on the frame 11.

[0023] The frame 11 can be a support structure located inside the main body 10 of the device, serving as the base for connecting the head 12, tail 13, and feet 14, and supporting the drive assembly 20. Furthermore, the frame 11 is also surrounded by a shell, which can be in the shape of a lifelike eagle's body, to enclose the frame 11 and drive assembly 20 for protection, while also providing an aesthetic and realistic effect. This is a common practice in the toy industry and should be well known to those skilled in the art; therefore, it is only briefly described here and not illustrated in detail in the accompanying drawings.

[0024] The head 12, tail 13, and feet 14 can all be designed in the shape of an eagle, connected to the frame 11, and cooperate with the outer shell covering the frame 11 to form an eagle-like shape. Accordingly, the shape of the head 12, tail 13, feet 14, and frame 11 can be changed according to market demand to be other birds or flying animals, which will not be listed here.

[0025] The drive assembly 20 includes a drive device 21 mounted on the frame 11, a rotating sprocket 22 mounted on the drive device 21, two driven sprockets 23 mounted on the frame 11, a connecting spindle 24 connecting the two driven sprockets 23, and a chain 25 connecting the rotating sprocket 22 and the driven sprockets 23.

[0026] The drive device 21 can be a miniature AC motor, with its main body fixed on the frame 11 to provide driving force.

[0027] The rotating sprocket 22 is fixed on the drive shaft of the drive device 21 so as to rotate under the drive of the drive device 21.

[0028] Two driven sprockets 23 are disposed on both sides of the frame 11, specifically on both sides of the line connecting the head 12 and the tail 13. One of the driven sprockets 23 and the rotating sprocket 22 are located on the same plane to connect to the wing assembly 30 and transmit power. Furthermore, the diameter of the driven sprocket 23 is larger than the diameter of the rotating sprocket 22, thereby changing the transmission ratio and making the rotation of the driven sprocket 23 less strenuous.

[0029] The two ends of the connecting spindle 24 are respectively inserted into the center of the two driven sprockets 23 and pass through the inside of the frame 11. It is connected to the frame 11 by a rotating bearing at the connection point, so as to fix the position of the connecting spindle 24 while allowing the connecting spindle 24 to rotate along the central axis, thereby enabling the two driven sprockets 23 located on both sides of the frame 11 to rotate synchronously.

[0030] The chain 25 connects the rotating sprocket 22 and the driven sprocket 23 for transmission.

[0031] Each of the wing assemblies 30 includes a first wing 31 connected to the frame 11, a first connecting structure 32 connected between the first wing 31 and the driven sprocket 23, a second wing 33 connected to the first wing 31, a third wing 34 connected to the second wing 33, a second connecting structure 35 disposed between the first wing 31 and the frame 11, and two wing connecting structures 36 for connection.

[0032] The first wing 31, the second wing 33, and the third wing 34 each include a wing skeleton 311 and multiple feathers 312 connected to the wing skeleton 311. One end of the wing skeleton 311 is connected to the frame 11 via the wing connecting structure 36, and the other end extends freely away from the frame 11, with the extension direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction from the head 12 to the tail 13. The wing skeleton 311 may have an arc-shaped structure, so that the entire wing assembly 30 has an arc, which looks more realistic and conforms to the actual shape of a living organism. All the feathers 312 are arranged sequentially along the wing skeleton 311, and may be laid out in a parallel and overlapping manner. Each feather 312 is connected to the wing skeleton 311 at one end, and the other end extends freely perpendicular to the extension direction of the wing skeleton 311. The extension direction of the feathers 312 is consistent with the arrangement direction from the head 12 to the tail 13, in order to conform to the actual physiological structure of a living organism. The length of the feather 312 located near the frame 11 is greater than the length of the feather 312 located at the free end of the wing skeleton 311, so that the shape of the wing assembly 30 is closer to the actual physiological structure of the organism.

[0033] The first connecting structure 32 includes a connecting seat 321 disposed on the driven sprocket 23, a connecting rod 322 hinged to the connecting seat 321, and a connecting groove 323 disposed on the first wing 31.

[0034] The bottom of the rotating connecting seat 321 is inserted into the driven sprocket 23 and connected by a rotating bearing, so that the rotating connecting seat 321 can rotate relative to the driven sprocket 23, and the axial direction of the rotation is parallel to the axial direction of the driven sprocket 23. One end of the rotating connecting rod 322 is hinged to the rotating connecting seat 321, and the other end is provided with a spherical connecting end, which is disposed in the rotating connecting groove 323. The rotating connecting groove 323 is a hemispherical groove, and the spherical end of the rotating connecting rod 322 is inserted into the rotating connecting groove 323 to form a universal joint structure.

[0035] The second connection structure 35 is a connector disposed between the frame 11 and the wing skeleton 311. It is hinged to the frame 11 and the wing skeleton 311 respectively, and the rotation axes of the two connections are perpendicular to each other to form a dual-axis rotation, thereby allowing the wing assembly 30 to rotate freely up, down, left and right relative to the main body 10 of the equipment within a certain range.

[0036] It is conceivable that when the driven sprocket 23 rotates, the rotating connecting seat 321 performs a circular motion, which drives the connecting rod 322 to move. One end of the connecting rod 322 is connected to the driven sprocket 23 via a double shaft, and the other end is connected to the wing assembly 30 via a universal joint. This allows the rotation of the driven sprocket 23 to drive the wing assembly 30 to flap, simulating the flight state of a living organism.

[0037] Two wing connection structures 36 are respectively disposed between the first wing 31 and the second wing 33, and between the second wing 33 and the third wing 34. Each wing connection structure 36 includes two wing connectors 361 that are hinged together, and a connecting fixing shaft 362 inserted at the junction of the two wing connectors 361. The wing connectors 361 are respectively fixed to two adjacent wings and hinged together. The connecting fixing shaft 362 is inserted at the hinge, and the axis of the connecting fixing shaft 362 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the wing skeleton 311, so that the two adjacent wings can be manually bent to simulate different wing spread states of a living organism.

[0038] Compared with existing technologies, the toy with flapping wings provided by this utility model, through the arrangement of the first connecting structure 32 and the second connecting structure 35, enables the wing assembly 30 to perform mechanical reciprocating motion under the drive component 20, automatically forming wing flapping. The large flapping angle of the wings makes the product more realistic in mimicking the flight posture of birds, resulting in a high degree of realism. Furthermore, by setting the first wing 31, the second wing 33, and the third wing 34 and connecting them using the wing connecting structure 36, the curvature of the wings can be freely adjusted, facilitating the simulation of different wing-spreading states of organisms. This enhances playability and interactivity, significantly improving the user's experience. The simulated main body 10 further enhances the realism of the product, making it more attractive to customers.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements within the spirit of the present utility model are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
