Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of articulated joint structures for movable parts of figurines, dolls, models, etc., and particularly to a novel thigh engagement structure. Background Technology
[0002] When movable joints of action figures, figurines, and models are displayed for a long time or when accessories are attached, their weight and time cause problems: insufficient friction between joints makes it difficult to ensure that their poses are fixed. Therefore, it is necessary to design a locking joint to increase the friction between joints and ensure that the above problems are solved or improved.
[0003] Currently, most of the known movable joints in humanoid dolls, figures, and models have spherical thigh joints. However, the nested structure of positioning posts and positioning holes is not perfect and makes it difficult to maintain support or fix high-difficulty movements in terms of motion and force. In particular, with too many upper body parts, the thighs cannot support the weight, causing deformation and displacement of movable parts, which does not achieve the ideal state. Therefore, this application designs a movable locking tooth joint structure to better solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a novel thigh engagement structure to solve the technical problem in the prior art where too many upper body parts make it difficult for the thigh to support the weight, causing deformation and displacement of movable parts, thus failing to achieve the ideal state.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel thigh engagement structure, including a front cover plate and a rear cover plate. The front cover plate can be movably sleeved with the rear cover plate. The front cover plate is provided with a through hole, which is a positioning hole. The wall of the positioning hole is provided with a misaligned locking ring.
[0006] Preferably, a retaining ring is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rear cover plate. The retaining ring has evenly distributed retaining teeth. The size of the retaining ring and the size of the misaligned retaining ring are completely matched and can be interlocked together.
[0007] Preferably, the front cover can rotate horizontally on the rear cover.
[0008] Preferably, the front cover plate is also fixedly connected to a connecting ball in the horizontal direction.
[0009] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the back of the rear cover plate, and a positioning stake is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate, with the bottom surfaces of the connecting plate and the positioning stake being flush.
[0010] Preferably, a columnar plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate and the positioning pile, and a positioning plate is fixedly provided on the side wall of the columnar plate.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the columnar plate is provided with a recessed connecting hole.
[0012] Preferably, the positioning plate has a cylindrical structure.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting hole is a spherical structure or a polygonal columnar structure.
[0014] Preferably, the top view cross-section of the tooth is any one of a semi-circular, trapezoidal, square, or rectangular structure.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model discloses a novel thigh engagement structure, including a front cover plate and a rear cover plate. The front cover plate can be movably sleeved onto the rear cover plate. The front cover plate has a through hole, which is a positioning hole. A staggered locking tooth ring is provided on the wall of the positioning hole. A locking tooth ring is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rear cover plate. The locking tooth ring has evenly distributed locking teeth. The size of the locking tooth ring and the size of the staggered locking tooth ring are completely matched and can be interlocked. The front cover plate can rotate horizontally on the rear cover plate. The locking tooth structure, similar to the interlocking teeth on a gear, allows the locking teeth to interlock with each other, thereby increasing the friction and locking force. This enables the device to withstand stronger forces, making it less prone to joint rotation and displacement when subjected to force. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a novel thigh engagement structure, including a front cover plate 1 and a rear cover plate 3. The front cover plate 1 can be movably sleeved onto the rear cover plate 3. The front cover plate 1 has a through hole, which is a positioning hole 103. The wall of the positioning hole 103 is provided with a misaligned retaining ring 102. The positioning hole 103 serves a positioning function.
[0026] Furthermore, a retaining ring 301 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rear cover plate 3. The retaining ring 301 has evenly distributed retaining teeth. The size of the retaining ring 301 and the size of the misaligned retaining ring 102 are completely matched and can be snapped together.
[0027] Furthermore, the front cover plate 1 can rotate horizontally on the rear cover plate 3.
[0028] Furthermore, a connecting ball 101 is fixedly connected to the front cover plate 1 in the horizontal direction.
[0029] Furthermore, a connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the back of the rear cover plate 3, and a positioning post 203 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting plate 302. The bottom surfaces of the connecting plate 302 and the positioning post 203 are flush.
[0030] Furthermore, a columnar plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 302 and the positioning pile 203, and a positioning plate 201 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the columnar plate 2. The function of the positioning plate 201 is to fix it to the outer shell of the thigh.
[0031] Furthermore, the bottom end of the columnar plate 2 is provided with a recessed connecting hole 202. The function of the connecting hole 202 is to fix it to the other joints of the thigh.
[0032] Furthermore, the positioning plate 201 has a cylindrical structure.
[0033] Furthermore, the connecting hole 202 is a spherical structure or a polygonal cylindrical structure.
[0034] Furthermore, the top view cross-section of the tooth is any one of the following structures: semi-circular, trapezoidal, square, or rectangular.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] When using the thigh engagement structure of this utility model, the entire joint structure is first assembled. By connecting the positioning hole 103 with the retaining ring 301, the stability of the connection between the front cover plate and the rear cover plate can be ensured.
[0037] After the joint structure is assembled, in actual use, when the joint needs to be rotated, simply rotate the connecting ball 101. When the force on the front cover plate 1 is greater than the friction and locking force between the locking teeth, the front cover plate 1 can be rotated, thereby achieving the joint adjustment function. After the rotation is completed, the joint stability can be ensured by the friction and locking force between the locking teeth. At this time, under the leverage principle, the joint part is enhanced several times in terms of bearing capacity, allowing the thigh joint of the doll model to withstand stronger forces, maintain the movement without deformation, and thus allow for the assembly of heavier weapons, accessories, items, etc., and the placement of high-difficulty movements, which enhances the maintenance and fixation of movements.
[0038] This utility model adopts a toothed structure similar to the interlocking teeth on a gear, which makes the teeth interlock with each other, thereby increasing the friction and locking force, enabling the device to withstand stronger forces, and making the joints less prone to rotation and displacement when subjected to force.
