Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mecha model technology, specifically, it relates to a mecha waist frame. Background Technology
[0002] Mecha models are toys for children and even adults. The cockpit is a crucial part of mecha design. Currently, mecha models typically have only one cockpit, fixedly attached to the upper waist of the mecha. Due to the limited space inside the cockpit, its internal structure is usually fixed, and the pilot is only fixed or movable within it in one piloting posture. This results in poor maneuverability for mecha models, making them unable to adapt to different piloting modes. Moreover, even if some cockpits are detachable and replaceable, the lack of corresponding changes to the waist structure prevents the pilot's posture from being adapted to different situations.
[0003] One of the key experiences that mecha models bring to players is the fun of assembling the mecha themselves. However, the fact that the cockpit cannot be changed or the pilot's different stance modes reduces some of the fun. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the structure of mecha models so that different cockpits can be changed and different stances can be adopted. Utility Model Content
[0004] The current mecha models cannot change the cockpit or switch driving modes, which reduces the fun of assembling the mecha yourself. This application solves the problem by allowing the cockpit mounting plate to be rotated to change the shape of the cockpit, and by rotating the mecha's waist frame horizontally by 180° to change the front and rear space of the waist frame. This is suitable for different cockpit shapes and for pilots in different postures, increasing playability and dexterity.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0006] A mecha waist frame, comprising:
[0007] The waist body is used for rotating connection with the lower half of the mecha;
[0008] A pair of cockpit mounting plates are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions of the waist body. Each cockpit mounting plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the waist body in the left and right directions. The pair of cockpit mounting plates are used to clamp and install cockpits of different widths.
[0009] Optionally, each cockpit mounting plate has mounting holes on its surface and a fixing slot on the rear side of the outer edge of the mounting holes. Bent plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the cockpit, and the bent plates pass through the mounting holes and are inserted into the fixing slots.
[0010] Optionally, the bending plate is a right-angled bending plate formed by extending from the side of the cockpit towards the left and right sides of the waist body and then extending to the rear.
[0011] Optionally, the waist body includes a connecting column located at the bottom of the waist body. The connecting column has a vertical connecting hole. A vertical insertion column is fixedly connected to the top of the lower half of the mecha. The waist body is horizontally rotated and installed onto the lower half of the mecha by inserting the insertion column into the connecting hole.
[0012] Optionally, the waist body further includes a transition member, which includes an inclined member that slopes upward from the connecting column in the front-rear direction and a vertical member that extends vertically upward from the inclined member. The connecting column is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inclined member, and the pair of cockpit mounting plates are rotatably connected to the upper end of the vertical member.
[0013] By rotating the waist body 180°, the difference in space between the front and rear of the waist body is changed, making the waist frame of the mecha suitable for different driving modes.
[0014] Optionally, the waist body rotates to tilt backward at the upper end of the tilting member, suitable for seated driving mode.
[0015] Optionally, the waist body rotates to tilt forward at the upper end of the tilting member, suitable for riding or standing driving modes.
[0016] Optionally, a plug-in boss is provided at the end of the plug-in post, and a blocking boss with a smaller diameter than the diameter of the connection hole is provided at the lower end inside the connection hole. The diameter of the connection hole is the same as the diameter of the plug-in boss, and the diameter of the blocking boss is the same as the diameter of the plug-in post.
[0017] Optionally, a plug-in boss is provided at the end of the plug-in post, the plug-in post protrudes from the upper end of the connection hole, and the plug-in boss is blocked by the upper edge of the connection hole.
[0018] Optionally, the fixing slot is formed by extending from front to back and tilting downward or upward by 0.5° to 1°.
[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) This application can change the size of the space for clamping and installing the cockpit by rotating the cockpit fixing plate, thereby allowing for the replacement of cockpits of different widths and increasing the fun of the mecha.
[0021] (2) This application changes the front-to-back space of the mecha waist frame by rotating it horizontally by 180°, thus making it suitable for cockpits of different shapes and for pilots in different postures. This allows the mecha waist frame to have multiple mecha piloting modes, increasing playability and maneuverability.
[0022] (3) This application uses the fixing slot on the mounting hole to cooperate with the bending plate, so that the cockpit can be quickly installed onto the cockpit fixing plate.
[0023] (4) By tilting the fixed slot at a certain angle, when the bent plate is inserted into the mounting hole and moved to the rear side into the fixed slot, the fixed slot can exert a certain squeezing effect on the bent plate due to the certain tilt between the fixed slot and the bent plate, which can prevent the cockpit from falling off.

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the described embodiments can be modified in various ways or combinations thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are illustrative in nature and not intended to limit the scope of the claims. Furthermore, in this specification, the drawings are not drawn to scale, and the same reference numerals denote the same parts.
[0039] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. "Fixed connection" refers to a connection where the relative positional relationship remains unchanged after connection. "Rotary connection" refers to a connection where the components can rotate relative to each other after connection. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of this application, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "back," are only for reference to the directions in the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.
[0040] The mecha waist frame of this application can be adapted to accommodate cockpits of different widths by rotating a pair of cockpit mounting plates. Furthermore, by rotating the waist body 180° to change the front-to-back space of the mecha waist frame according to the varying space occupied by the tilting components in the front-to-back direction of the waist body, it can be adapted to cockpits of different shapes and to pilots in different postures. This allows the mecha waist frame to have multiple mecha piloting modes, increasing playability and maneuverability.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This embodiment provides a mecha waist frame, including a waist body 1, which is used to connect horizontally to the lower body of the mecha; a pair of cockpit fixing plates 2, which are rotatably connected to the upper end of the waist body 1, and are used to clamp cockpits of different widths.
[0042] A pair of cockpit mounting plates 2 are rotatably mounted on the waist body via connecting shafts. The axis of the connecting shafts is parallel to the front-rear direction of the waist body, allowing the cockpit mounting plates to rotate in the left-right direction. The pair of cockpit mounting plates 2 are spaced apart, specifically, spaced apart in the left-right direction of the waist body, for mounting the cockpit between the two plates. Specifically, a first connecting cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each cockpit mounting plate 2, and a second connecting cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the waist body 1. The cockpit mounting plates 2 are rotatably connected to the waist body 1 via connecting shafts passing through the first and second connecting cylinders 21 and 13. Figure 1 The middle arrow indicates that the cockpit mounting plate 2 can rotate in the direction shown by the arrow, meaning the two cockpit mounting plates 2 rotate away from each other. Please refer to [the source / reference]. Figure 3 Used to hold a wide-sized cockpit. Please refer to... Figure 2 The two cockpit mounting plates 2 rotate toward each other to clamp a narrow-sized cockpit.
[0043] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 as well as Figures 4 to 5 Each cockpit mounting plate 2 has mounting holes 22 on its surface, and a fixing groove 23 is provided on the rear side of the outer edge of the mounting hole 22. The fixing groove 23 is formed by cutting off a piece from the rear side of the outer edge of the mounting hole. Bending plates 31 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cockpit. The bending plates 31 are formed by extending from the side of the cockpit 3 towards the left and right sides of the waist body and then extending to the rear. For example, they can be right-angle bending plates. After the bending plates pass through the mounting holes 22, they push the cockpit to the rear, so that the bending plates are clamped in the fixing grooves 23, thereby installing the cockpit onto the cockpit mounting plate 2.
[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The fixing slot 23 can extend from front to back while tilting downwards or upwards at a certain angle, for example, tilting 0.5° to 1°. When the bent plate 31 is inserted into the mounting hole 22 and moved to the rear to be inserted into the fixing slot 23, the fixing slot 23, due to its certain tilt with the bent plate, can exert a certain squeezing effect on the bent plate, which can prevent the cockpit 3 from falling off.
[0045] The waist body 1 includes a connecting post 11 located at the bottom of the waist body 1. The connecting post 11 has a vertically oriented connecting hole 12. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 7 , Figure 8 A vertical plug 41 can be fixedly connected to the top of the lower half of the mecha 4. By inserting the plug 41 into the connection hole 12, the waist body 1 can be horizontally rotated and installed to the top of the lower half of the mecha.
[0046] Specifically, the insertion post is columnar, such as cylindrical. The insertion post extends upwards from the top of the lower half of the mecha. An insertion boss 42 can be provided at the end of the insertion post. The insertion boss 42 is formed by chamfering the end of a cylinder with a diameter larger than that of the insertion post 41. The chamfer can be a rounded corner or a 45° chamfer. Furthermore, a blocking boss 121, smaller than the diameter of the connecting hole 12, is provided at the lower end within the connecting hole 12. The diameter of the connecting hole 12 is the same as the diameter of the insertion boss 42, and the diameter of the blocking boss 121 is the same as the diameter of the insertion post 41. When the insertion boss 42 is inserted into the connecting hole, the chamfer facilitates the insertion boss 42 passing through the blocking boss. After the insertion boss 42 passes through the blocking boss 121, the blocking boss 121 prevents the insertion boss 42 from retracting, thereby horizontally rotatably connecting the waist body 1 to the lower half of the mecha.
[0047] Alternatively, the blocking boss can be omitted, and the plug can be directly inserted from the upper end of the connecting hole 12. The plug is blocked by the upper edge of the connecting hole, thereby connecting the waist body 1 and the lower half of the mecha in a horizontally rotatable manner.
[0048] Since the plug post 41 and the connecting hole 12 are horizontally rotatable, the waist body 1 can rotate horizontally relative to the lower body 4 of the mecha.
[0049] Additionally, it should be noted that the waist body and the lower body of the mecha are not limited to horizontal rotation connection; they can also be connected by a ball joint. This allows the waist body to not only rotate horizontally but also to have more diverse waist movements.
[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 The connecting column 11 of the waist body is connected to the transition component. Specifically, the transition component includes an inclined component 14 that slopes upward from the connecting column in the front-rear direction, and a vertical component 15 extending upward from the inclined component. The outer wall of the connecting column 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inclined component 14. The cockpit mounting plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical component 15, and the pair of cockpit mounting plates 2 are rotatably connected to the upper end of the cockpit mounting plate. Because the inclined component 14 is inclined, it provides some space for the lower part of the cockpit, contributing to the stability of the entire mecha model. The front-rear space difference of the waist body created by the inclined component 14, combined with the rotation of the waist body 1, allows the mecha's waist frame to be adapted to different driving modes.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 9 When the upper end of the tilting member 14 tilts rearward, there is a larger space in front of the waist body 1, which can be adapted to the cockpit shape with a large front space. This allows the pilot to adopt a seated driving posture, i.e., a seated driving mode. In this driving mode, the cockpit seat can be tilted back at, for example, about 15°, so that the pilot's center of gravity leans back, allowing the pilot to easily operate the various functions of the mech while seated. This seated driving mode is particularly suitable for tasks requiring long-term operation. In this mode, the pilot can maintain concentration for a longer period of time, reducing fatigue and improving work efficiency and safety.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the connecting column 11 of the waist body 1 rotates 180° around the lower half of the mecha 4, the upper end of the tilting component 14 tilts forward, which provides a larger space behind the waist body 1. This makes it suitable for a cockpit shape with a large rear space. Since riding involves the legs being positioned towards the rear, it is suitable for the rider's riding posture, i.e., the riding driving mode. In the riding driving mode, the cockpit can be equipped with a structure similar to a motorcycle seat. The rider adopts a straddle posture, holding the control levers in front with both hands and placing both feet on the foot pedals. This posture lowers the rider's center of gravity, improving stability and facilitating quick adjustments to body posture to adapt to various movement states of the mecha.
[0053] And, as Figure 11 As shown, this posture can also be applied to the driver standing in the cockpit, i.e., the standing driving mode. In standing driving mode, the driver stands with both hands operating the control panels in the cockpit, while both feet are fixed on the standing platform. This posture provides the driver with a wider field of vision and more sensitive reactions, making it suitable for scenarios requiring rapid response and high maneuverability.
[0054] It should be noted that although the seated driving mode, riding driving mode, and standing driving mode of the mecha do not have a realistic human feel, simulating three different stances allows the mecha model to be suitable for different play scenarios, thus improving the play experience.
[0055] In some embodiments, the inclined member 14 includes a telescopically connected connecting rod 141 and a connecting sleeve 142 that slides axially around the outer periphery of the connecting rod 141. For example, if four connecting rods 141 are included, then four connecting sleeves 142 are respectively fitted onto the connecting rods, wherein each connecting rod 141 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the connecting post 11, and each connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical member 15. More specific connection structures are not described in detail here.
[0056] By pulling the connecting rod and connecting sleeve, the position of the cockpit at the top of the vertical component can be adjusted. The cockpit position can be slightly adjusted according to its shape and the pilot's posture. For example, in a standing pilot mode, where part of the cockpit is at the rear of the mech and the pilot is also standing entirely at the rear, the mech's center of gravity is slightly rearward. In this case, the connecting sleeve can be pulled forward to shift the cockpit slightly forward, thus bringing the entire mech model into a roughly balanced state. In a riding pilot mode, although part of the cockpit is at the rear, it doesn't sink as much as in the standing pilot mode, and some of the pilot's limbs are positioned roughly in the center. Therefore, the mech's center of gravity is not as rearward as in the standing pilot mode, and the connecting sleeve can be pulled out less.
[0057] To ensure that the connecting sleeve can maintain its position after being pulled out, protrusions can be evenly distributed on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 142 and the outer wall of the connecting rod 141. Through the mutual squeezing action of the protrusions on the connecting sleeve and the connecting rod, the connecting sleeve and the connecting rod can be in a tight connection state, so that the connecting sleeve will not retract under the pressure of the upper cockpit.
[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
