Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of festival lighting decorations, and in particular to a wing flapping device for a simulated flying creature ornament. Background Technology

[0002] Lighting is frequently used to decorate public places such as scenic spots, parks, cultural and creative parks, and shopping malls. Among them, lighting fixtures shaped like lifelike creatures are popular because of their beautiful appearance and strong three-dimensional effect. However, lifelike creatures include simulated flying creatures such as butterflies, dragonflies, and birds. The wings of traditional simulated flying creatures are usually fixed and cannot be flapped, so they are not lifelike enough and cannot fully display the beautiful shape and pattern of the wings, resulting in a poor decorative effect. Therefore, someone applied for Chinese utility model patent 202021315362.7, entitled "A Butterfly Landscape Light Structure," which includes a base barrel for support and installation, a butterfly body mounted on the base barrel via a transmission mechanism, and acrylic wings connecting transparent structures on both sides of the butterfly body and a motor located inside the base barrel. The transmission mechanism consists of a dovetail connector, a connecting lever, a connecting shaft with a dovetail, a vertical bearing, upper and lower connecting rods, a connecting fisheye bearing, and an eccentric pulley. The acrylic wings are connected to the butterfly body via the dovetail connector, and the connecting lever is located at the tail of the butterfly body, connected to a transparent tail structure. A motor is fixedly installed inside the base barrel via a motor fixing flange, and the motor's output end is connected to the eccentric pulley. This butterfly landscape light structure, arranged in a butterfly shape, provides illumination, and the wings can flap during illumination, enhancing its visual appeal. However, the structure has the following drawbacks: the motor, eccentric pulley, connecting fisheye bearing, upper and lower connecting rods, vertical bearing and other structures are all set in the bottom barrel at the bottom of the butterfly's body. On the one hand, this makes the entire lamp large in size, and some of the transmission structure is exposed outside the butterfly's body, which affects the aesthetics and results in poor simulation effect and lack of vividness. On the other hand, the overall structure is complex and difficult to manufacture. Summary of the Invention

[0031] This utility model discloses a wing flapping device for a simulated flying creature ornament. The main body 1 of the simulated flying creature can be designed in the shape of a butterfly, dragonfly, bee, bird, or other creature. The main body 1 can be divided into upper and lower sections, which are fixed by fasteners such as screws. The interior of the main body 1 is designed as a hollow mounting cavity 2, in which a power device and a sliding component are installed. The power device consists of a battery 8 and a motor 9. The battery 8 provides power to the motor 9 and can also provide power to LED beads.

The connecting rod 15 is in sliding fit with the connecting hole 16. When the motor 9 drives the slider 11 to slide up and down through the eccentric wheel 6 and the eccentric shaft 7, the slider 11 drives the connecting rod 15 to slide up and down together. The connecting rod 15 is in fit with the connecting hole 16, which drives the swinging member 3 to rotate up and down around the rotating shaft 4. The swinging member 3 then drives the wings 5 ​​on the outside of the main body 1 to swing up and down, so that the wings of the simulated flying creature can flap.
