Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toy mechanism technology, specifically referring to a compact mouth-opening and neck-tilting toy mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of the toy industry, consumers are increasingly demanding higher functionality and more engaging features from toys. Existing toy mechanisms often employ independent drive structures for mouth opening, neck tilting, and hand movements, resulting in complex structures, large space requirements, and poor coordination between components. For example, some toys use multiple independent motors to drive mouth opening, neck tilting, and hand movements, which not only increases production costs and assembly difficulty but also easily leads to asynchronous movements and jamming during operation, making it difficult to simulate realistic biological postures and reducing the toy's lifelikeness and fun. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a toy mechanism that is compact, coordinates movements, and possesses intelligent control functions. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a compact mouth-opening and neck-tilting toy mechanism.
[0004] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A compact mouth-opening and neck-tilting toy mechanism includes a cage and a toy body. The toy body is installed inside the cage. The toy body includes a housing and a head shell. The housing and head shell are connected by a drive mechanism. A moving mouth and neck-tilting assembly and a manual assembly are connected between the housing and the head shell. A gearbox is installed inside the housing. A gear assembly is installed inside the gearbox. The gear assembly is connected by a drive mechanism to both the moving mouth and neck-tilting assembly and the manual assembly. The moving mouth and neck-tilting assembly includes a power arm, an upper mouth rocker arm, a lower mouth rocker arm, an upper tooth, and a lower tooth. The bottom end of the power arm is connected to the gearbox. On the outer wall of the toy, the top end of the power arm is connected to the inside of the head shell. A mouth hinge shaft is provided inside the head shell. The upper mouth swing rod and the lower mouth swing rod are coaxially and cross-hinged through the mouth hinge shaft. The end of the upper mouth swing rod away from the head shell is connected to the upper mouth shell, and the end of the lower mouth swing rod away from the head shell is connected to the lower mouth shell. The upper teeth are installed inside the upper mouth shell, and the lower teeth are installed inside the lower mouth shell. A support swing rod is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the gearbox. The top end of the support swing rod is hinged to the lower mouth swing rod in a slot. The support swing rod is hinged to the inner wall of the head shell and to the upper mouth swing rod. The tilting neck and opening mouth movements are linked to simulate the real posture of a living organism and enhance the vividness of the toy.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the manual component includes a connecting rod and an arm. Two sets of arms are arranged opposite each other and are rotatably mounted on two opposite side walls of the housing. One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the arm in a slot, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the support swing rod. When the support swing rod rotates, the power is transmitted through the slotted hinge between the connecting rod and the arm, which drives the two sets of arms to swing around the rotation axis of the side wall of the housing, thereby realizing the opening and closing or waving action of the arms.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the gear assembly includes a drive gear, a large gear 1, a small gear 1, a large gear 2, a small gear 2, a large gear 3, a small gear 3, a large gear 4, a small gear 4, a large gear 5, a small gear 5, and an output gear. The drive gear, large gear 1, small gear 1, large gear 2, small gear 2, large gear 3, small gear 3, large gear 4, small gear 4, large gear 5, small gear 5, and output gear are all rotatably mounted within a gearbox. The large gear 1 and small gear 2 are coaxially connected and mesh with the drive gear. The large gear 2 and small gear 2 are coaxially connected and mesh with the small gear 1. The gear system is configured such that the large gear three and the small gear three are coaxially connected, the large gear three meshes with the small gear two, the large gear four and the small gear four are coaxially connected, the large gear four meshes with the small gear three, the rotating shaft of the large gear four passes through the side wall of the gearbox and connects to the support rocker arm, the large gear five and the small gear five are coaxially connected, the large gear five meshes with the small gear four, the output gear meshes with the small gear five, and the rotating shaft of the output gear passes through the side wall of the gearbox and connects to the power arm. This multi-stage gear transmission allows for flexible adjustment of the speed and torque of each action, meeting the motion requirements of different components. The same gear system drives multiple components, ensuring synchronous action and avoiding chaotic movements.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a motor is installed inside the gearbox, and the output end of the motor is connected to the drive gear.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the large gear four, and the torsion spring is connected to the support rocker arm, and the torsion spring assists the head to return to center.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a light control component is provided on the bottom outer wall of the cage.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects by adopting the above structure:
[0011] 1. Through multi-stage transmission of gear components, the synchronous movement of the mouth tilting and neck tilting components and the hand-operated components is realized. The rotation of the support swing rod not only drives the upper and lower mouth shells to open and close, but also drives the arm to swing through the connecting rod. When the power arm rotates, it pushes the head shell to swing back and forth. The neck tilting and mouth opening actions are linked, which highly simulates the real posture of the creature, greatly enhances the vividness and fun of the toy, and enhances the user experience of consumers.
[0012] 2. The mouth opening, neck tilting, and hand-handling functions are integrated into a gearbox-driven system, reducing the use of independent drive components and effectively reducing the overall size of the toy mechanism. This allows the toy body to be installed more compactly in the cage, facilitating toy design and production, while also reducing production costs.
[0013] 3. Multi-stage gear transmission allows for flexible adjustment of the speed and torque of each movement, meeting the movement needs of different parts such as mouth movement, neck tilting, and hand movements, making the toy's movements more natural and smooth. At the same time, the same gear system drives multiple components, ensuring the synchronization between each movement and avoiding chaotic movements. Attached Figure Description

A gear assembly 8 is installed inside the gearbox 7. The gear assembly 8 is connected by a transmission to both the mouth-opening and neck-tilting component 5 and the hand-operating component 6.
[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the moving mouth tilting assembly 5 includes a power arm 501, an upper mouth rocker arm 502, a lower mouth rocker arm 503, an upper tooth 504, and a lower tooth 505. The bottom end of the power arm 501 is connected to the outer wall of the gearbox 7, and the top end of the power arm 501 is connected to the head housing 4. A mouth hinge shaft 506 is provided inside the head housing 4. The upper mouth rocker arm 502 and the lower mouth rocker arm 503 are coaxially and cross-hinged through the mouth hinge shaft 506. The end of the upper mouth rocker arm 502 away from the head housing 4 is connected to the upper mouth housing 507, and the end of the lower mouth rocker arm 503 away from the head housing 4 is connected to the lower mouth housing 508. The upper tooth 504 is installed inside the upper mouth housing 507, and the lower tooth 505 is installed inside the lower mouth housing 508.

The rotation shaft of output gear 812 passes through the side wall of gearbox 7 and connects to the power arm 501. Motor 9 drives drive gear 801 to rotate. Drive gear 801 drives coaxial large gear 1 802 and small gear 1 803 to rotate. Small gear 1 803 drives coaxial large gear 2 804 and small gear 2 805 to rotate. Small gear 2 805 drives coaxial large gear 3 806 and small gear 3 807. The third gear 807 drives the coaxial large gear 408 and small gear 409 to rotate.

The torsion spring 10 is connected to the support swing arm 509 and assists the head to return to center. The small gear 409 drives the coaxial large gear 510 and small gear 511 to rotate. The small gear 511 drives the output gear 812 to rotate, thereby driving the power arm 501 to swing. The multi-stage gear transmission can flexibly adjust the speed and torque of each action to meet the motion requirements of different components. The same gear system drives multiple components to ensure the synchronization of actions and avoid action confusion.
[0028] like Figures 1-3As shown, a light control component 11 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the cage 1, and a battery, motherboard, terminals and speaker are installed on the bottom wall of the housing 3.

The motherboard coordinates the battery power supply and controls the speed of the motor 9, gear transmission and speaker sound, to achieve sound and light linkage.
[0029] In practical use, when the intensity of external light reaches the threshold set by the light control component 11, i.e., when someone approaches, the light control component 11 sends a signal to the main board. The main board coordinates with the battery power supply to start the motor 9. The motor 9 drives the drive gear 801 to rotate. Through the multi-stage transmission of the gear assembly 8, the drive gear 801 drives the coaxial large gear 802 and small gear 803 to rotate. The small gear 803 drives the coaxial large gear 804 and small gear 805 to rotate. The small gear 805 drives the coaxial large gear 806 and small gear 807. The small gear 807 drives the coaxial large gear 808 and small gear 809 to rotate. The large gear 808 drives... The support arm 509 swings, causing the upper mouth shell 507 and lower mouth shell 508 to open and close. At the same time, the connecting rod 601 drives the arm 602 to swing around the rotating shaft of the side wall of the housing 3. The small gear 4 809 drives the coaxial large gear 5 810 and small gear 5 811 to rotate. The small gear 5 811 drives the output gear 812 to rotate, thereby driving the power arm 501 to swing and push the head shell 4 to swing back and forth, realizing the linkage between tilting the neck and opening the mouth. When the motor 9 rotates forward, the head quickly extends forward, and at the same time the hands open and the mouth opens, revealing the teeth. When the motor 9 rotates in reverse, the head returns to a straight position, and at the same time the mouth closes and the hands are clasped together. During operation, the speaker emits sound according to the control of the main board, realizing the sound and light linkage effect.
