[0067] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0068] Example 1:
[0069] This utility model provides a toy exoskeleton structure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the assembly includes a connecting block 1, an inner armor 2, and an outer armor 3. The inner armor 2 is rotatably mounted on the connecting block 1, preferably mounted on the outer end of the connecting block 1. The outer armor 3 is mounted on the inner armor 2 and can move relative to the inner armor 2 between an extended state and a folded state. In the extended state, the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3 together become longer. In the folded state, the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3 together become shorter.
[0070] In this embodiment, the movement of the outer armor 3 relative to the inner armor 2 is rotation. The outer armor 3 is positioned outside the inner armor 2. During the movement from the extended state to the folded state, a gap gradually forms between the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3, such as... Figure 4 The diagram shows a frontal view of the inner armor 2 and outer armor 3 in an extended state. The outer armor 3 moves to the lower part of the inner armor 2, and part of the outer armor 3 extends below the inner armor 2. Overall, when viewed from right to left, the covered area increases, and the range of thigh rotation decreases. Figure 6 The diagram shows a frontal view of the inner armor 2 and outer armor 3 in a stacked state. The outer armor 3 moves to the same height as the inner armor 2, and the outer armor 3 as a whole moves to the outside of the outer side of the inner armor 2, forming a gap between the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3. When viewed from right to left, the covered area becomes smaller, and the range of rotation of the thigh increases. In other words, during the movement from the extended state to the stacked state, the inner armor 2 and outer armor 3 gradually move away from the inside of the inner armor 2 to the outside, forming a gap and creating a wider external shape.
[0071] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the outer end of the connecting block 1 has a first assembly part 11, and the inner side of the inner armor 2 has a third assembly part 21 that matches the first assembly part 11. The first assembly part 11 is assembled into the third assembly part 21. By relying on the cooperation between the first assembly part 11 and the third assembly part 21, the inner armor 2 can rotate relative to the connecting block 1. The first assembly part 11 and the third assembly part 21 preferably adopt a ball-head and ball-socket structure. For example, the first assembly part 11 is a ball head, and the third assembly part 21 is a ball socket. The lower part of the ball socket forms a first opening 211, so that when the ball head is assembled in the ball socket, the connecting block 1 can rotate into the first opening 211 when the ball head rotates downward relative to the center of the ball socket, so that the rotation angle is larger. Preferably, the connecting block 1 can rotate from a posture perpendicular to the inner armor 2 to a posture parallel to the inner armor 2. Therefore, the ball-head and ball-socket structure allows the inner armor 2 to have more rotation postures relative to the connecting block 1.
[0072] This embodiment also includes an intermediate block 4, which is used to connect the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, one end of the middle block 4 is rotatably mounted on the inner armor 2, and the other end of the middle block 4 is rotatably mounted on the outer armor 3. The middle block 4 enables the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2 to be rotatably connected, and the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2 can adjust their posture by rotating.
[0073] Furthermore, one end of the intermediate block 4 has a sixth assembly part 41, and the other end of the intermediate block 4 has a seventh assembly part 42. The inner side of the inner armor 2 is provided with a fourth assembly part 22, and the outer armor 3 is provided with a fifth assembly part 31. The sixth assembly part 41 is assembled on the fourth assembly part 22 to achieve a rotational fit, and the seventh assembly part 42 is assembled on the fifth assembly part 31 to achieve a rotational fit. Specifically, the seventh assembly part 42 and the fifth assembly part 31 have a ball-head and ball-socket structure. Preferably, the seventh assembly part 42 is a ball head, and the fifth assembly part 31 is a ball socket, with a third opening 311 formed at the top of the ball socket. When the outer armor 3 is in the extended state, the ball head is positioned in the ball socket, and the middle part of the intermediate block 4 is located in the third opening 311. When the outer armor 3 is in the stacked state, the middle part of the intermediate block 4 is away from the third opening 311.
[0074] like Figure 1As shown, the fourth assembly part 22 is a receiving groove, and the sixth assembly part 41 is a rotating shaft. The sixth assembly part 41 has a cross-shaped structure or a T-shaped structure. The fourth assembly part 22 includes a first support member 222 and a second support member 223. The first support member 222 and the second support member 223 are arranged at intervals and form a receiving groove between them. The opposite sides of the first support member 222 and the second support member 223 have a first shaft hole and a second shaft hole, respectively. It should be noted that the first support member 222 and the second support member 223 are preferably plates. One end of the rotating shaft extends into the first shaft hole and the other end extends into the second shaft hole. Under natural conditions, the rotating shaft is not allowed to leave the receiving groove. Under the drive of external force, the rotating shaft is allowed to leave the receiving groove, which facilitates assembly and ensures the stability of the toy under natural conditions.
[0075] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the rear side of the receiving slot has a second opening 221. The second opening 221 allows the middle block 4 to pass through when rotating around the sixth assembly part 41. The second opening 221 extends from the bottom of the inner armor 2 to the rear of the receiving slot, realizing the relative adjustment of the rotational posture of the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2, and realizing the transformation of the special posture of the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2.
[0076] To increase the stability of the connection between the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2, two intermediate blocks 4 are used. The two intermediate blocks 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting block 1 and are arranged in parallel. By setting two intermediate blocks 4 between the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2, the outer armor 3 becomes more stable during rotation relative to the inner armor 2.
[0077] To meet the requirements of the special shape, the cross-sections of both the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3 in this embodiment are designed as U-shaped structures, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0078] The toy armor structure of this utility model can be configured in multiple locations, preferably in the crotch of a humanoid toy, but can also be configured in the shoulder or other locations. The inner end of the connecting block 1 is assembled on other blocks to fix the connecting block 1. The inner end of the connecting block 1 is provided with a second assembly part 12, which can be either a male or a female head.
[0079] This utility model also provides a toy, including an outer armor structure. Taking the application of the outer armor structure to the hip as an example, by adopting the cooperative structure of inner armor 2, outer armor 3 and connecting block 1, the change of posture of outer armor 3 relative to inner armor 2 not only avoids the problem of interference between the thigh and outer armor when the thigh rotates, but also meets the requirements of the thigh's rotation range, and solves the problem of low simulation of movement and appearance, thus improving the fun of the toy.
[0080] Example 2:
[0081] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the movement of the outer armor 3 relative to the inner armor 2 is sliding. A sliding pair is configured on the outer side of the inner armor 2 and the inner side of the outer armor 3, and the overall length of the inner armor 2 and the outer armor 3 is adjusted through the sliding pair.
[0082] In this embodiment, the sliding pair is preferably a slide rail and a slide groove. For example, a slide groove 23 is provided on the outer side of the inner armor 2, and a slide rail 32 extends from the inner side of the outer armor 3. The slide rail 32 matches the slide groove 23. Figure 10 As shown. By assembling the slide rail 32 into the slide groove 23, the attitude adjustment of the outer armor 3 relative to the inner armor 2 can be achieved.
[0083] In practical applications, after the slide rail 32 is assembled into the slide groove 23, the plug can be inserted into the end of the slide groove 23 to prevent the slide rail 32 from sliding out of the slide groove 23. When disassembly is required, the plug can be removed.
[0084] Taking the toy's outer armor structure assembled at the hip as an example, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0085] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the outer armor 3 is in an extended state relative to the inner armor 2. The outer armor 3 and inner armor 2 cover a large area of the hip. Because the lower part of the outer armor 3 extends below the inner armor 2, there is a risk of interference with the outer armor 3 when the thigh is raised. To increase the range of motion of the thigh, the outer armor 3 is rotated upwards to its highest position until it can no longer rotate relative to the inner armor 2. At this point, the outer armor 3 is in a overlapping state relative to the inner armor 2. Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the outer armor 3 moves to the outer side of the inner armor 2 and is positioned directly opposite it. The coverage area of the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2 on the hip is relatively small. At this time, when the thigh is raised, it will no longer interfere with the outer armor 3.
[0086] It should be noted that by adjusting the connecting block 1 and / or adjusting the posture of the inner armor 2 relative to the connecting block 1, the overall posture of the outer armor 3 and the inner armor 2 can be adjusted, such as... Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, this invention can meet the needs of different shapes and movements through various posture changes, thus enhancing the fun of the toy.
