Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of simulated animal technology, specifically a simulated animal bite limiting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as science education, film and television entertainment, and theme parks, lifelike animals, with their highly realistic appearance and movements, greatly satisfy people's needs for observing, studying, and interacting with various animals. Taking theme parks as an example, large-scale lifelike animal models such as dinosaurs and tigers attract a large number of tourists, bringing considerable economic benefits. Furthermore, biting, as one of the key behaviors of animals, plays an important role in scenarios such as hunting, feeding, and defense. Accurately simulating animal biting movements can significantly enhance the realism and interactive experience of lifelike animals.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the applicant argues that when the simulated animal is in operation, the drive motor drives the upper jaw to rotate around a rotation axis via a crank-slider mechanism, achieving a limited rotation and completing the closing action with the lower jaw, accurately simulating the natural biting posture of animals such as wolves and crocodiles. However, in interactive exhibition scenarios, some visitors, out of curiosity, may put their hands into the animal's mouth. When the upper and lower jaws close, if the hand is in the biting area, the contact pressure generated by the hard plastic jaws may cause fingertip crush injuries or skin abrasions, reducing the safety of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simulated animal bite limiting mechanism to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the upper and lower jaws are closed, if the hand is in the biting area, the contact pressure generated by the squeezing of the hard plastic jaw will cause fingertip crush injury or skin abrasion, thus reducing the safety of the device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a simulated animal bite limiting mechanism, comprising a simulated animal upper jaw and a protective mechanism, wherein the protective mechanism is disposed inside the simulated animal upper jaw, and the protective mechanism has an movable groove located below the interior of the simulated animal upper jaw, wherein movable springs are evenly arranged at the top of the movable groove, a movable plate is provided at the bottom of the movable spring, an upper tooth is provided at the bottom of the movable plate, and a protective pad is provided at the bottom of the upper tooth.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the upper and lower jaws of the simulated animal close, the protective pad at the bottom of the upper teeth comes into contact with the audience's hand, and the impact is initially buffered through elastic deformation; at the same time, the movable spring undergoes compression deformation, and the remaining impact force is absorbed by the elastic damping effect, which can effectively disperse the local pressure when the hand comes into contact, and minimize the risk of injury to the audience's hand, thereby improving the safety of the device.

[0007] Preferably, a rotating shaft is provided through the interior of the upper jaw of the simulated animal, and a support seat is provided on both sides of the rotating shaft.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft can be easily supported, which improves the stability of the simulated animal's upper jaw when rotating.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom end of the support base is provided with a simulated animal lower jaw, and the top of the simulated animal lower jaw is evenly provided with lower teeth.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the device can easily simulate the biting action of animals.

[0011] Preferably, a driving part is provided at the end of the lower jaw of the simulated animal away from the lower teeth, and the driving part is connected to the lower jaw of the simulated animal by a fixing bolt.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, the stability of the drive unit during operation can be improved.

[0013] Preferably, the drive unit is equipped with a drive motor, the output end of which is equipped with a crank-slider mechanism, and the top end of the crank-slider mechanism is equipped with a connecting block.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drive motor drives the crank to rotate a full circle, the rotational motion is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the slider in the guide rail through the connecting rod. The linear displacement of the slider is transmitted to the upper jaw of the simulated animal through the connecting block, so that it can achieve pitch rotation around the rotation axis at a limited angle.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the connecting block near the lower jaw of the simulated animal is fixedly connected to the upper jaw of the simulated animal.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper jaw of the simulated animal can be driven to rotate around the rotation axis to achieve a 30-degree limited rotation, thereby simulating the animal's biting action.

[0017] Preferably, a protective pad made of silicone is also provided at the top of the lower tooth portion.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective pad can easily protect the hands of the audience.

[0019] Preferably, the lower tooth portion is located directly below the upper tooth portion.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to facilitate the biting of the upper and lower teeth.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] By incorporating a simulated animal's upper jaw, a protective mechanism, a protective pad, and a movable spring, when the simulated animal's upper and lower jaws close, the protective pad at the bottom of the upper jaw contacts the viewer's hand, initially buffering the impact through elastic deformation. Simultaneously, the movable spring undergoes compression deformation, absorbing the remaining impact force through elastic damping. This effectively disperses the local pressure when the hand contacts the animal, minimizing the risk of injury to the viewer's hand and thus improving the device's safety.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 4This embodiment provides a technical solution: a simulated animal bite limiting mechanism, including a simulated animal upper jaw 1 and a protective mechanism 7. The protective mechanism 7 is disposed inside the simulated animal upper jaw 1. The protective mechanism 7 has an active groove 706 located below the interior of the simulated animal upper jaw 1. Active springs 705 are evenly arranged at the top of the active groove 706. There are three sets of active springs 705. The bottom end of the active springs 705 is fixedly connected to an active plate 701. The active plate 701 can provide load-bearing capacity. The bottom end of the active plate 701 is provided with an upper tooth 704. The bottom end of the upper tooth 704 is provided with a protective pad 703. The protective pad 703 buffers the impact of the upper and lower teeth collision through elastic deformation, which can conveniently protect the upper and lower teeth and extend the service life of the upper and lower teeth.

[0031] The bottom of the support base 3 is provided with a simulated animal lower jaw 2. The top of the simulated animal lower jaw 2 is evenly provided with lower teeth 702. The top of the lower teeth 702 is also provided with a protective pad 703. The protective pad 703 is made of silicone. The lower teeth 702 is located directly below the upper teeth 704, which facilitates the biting of the upper teeth 704 and the lower teeth 702.

[0032] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 1 is as follows: when the upper jaw 1 and lower jaw 2 of the simulated animal close, if the audience's hand is in the biting area, the protective pad 703 at the bottom of the upper teeth 704 will make contact with the hand first. Through elastic deformation, the instantaneous impact force will be initially buffered and attenuated. At the same time, the movable spring 705 at the top of the movable plate 701 will undergo compression deformation, and the remaining impact force will be further absorbed by the elastic damping effect. Under the dual action, the local pressure when the hand contacts is effectively dispersed, avoiding the risk of fingertip squeezing injury, skin abrasion and other risks, and significantly improving the safety of using simulated animals in interactive display scenarios.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] A rotating shaft 5 is provided inside the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal, which allows the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal to rotate around the rotating shaft 5. Support seats 3 are provided on both sides of the rotating shaft 5, which can easily support the rotating shaft 5 and improve the stability of the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal when rotating.

[0035] A drive unit 4 is located at the end of the simulated animal's lower jaw 2 away from the lower teeth 702. The drive unit 4 provides convenient protection for internal components. It is connected to the simulated animal's lower jaw 2 via fixing bolts, improving its operational stability. Inside the drive unit 4 is a drive motor 8, which operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When three-phase alternating current is applied to the stator windings, a rotating magnetic field is generated within the stator core. Its rotational speed is determined by the power supply frequency and the number of pole pairs. The rotor conductors cut magnetic lines of force in the rotating magnetic field, generating an induced current. The interaction between the current and the magnetic field produces an electromagnetic torque, driving the rotor to rotate. When selecting a drive motor 8, an appropriate model should be chosen based on actual needs. All components required within the drive motor 8 are existing technologies and will not be described further below.

[0036] The output end of the drive motor 8 is equipped with a crank-slider mechanism 9. A connecting block 6 is located at the top of the crank-slider mechanism 9. The end of the connecting block 6 near the lower jaw 2 of the simulated animal is fixedly connected to the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal. Based on the linkage transmission principle, when the drive motor 8 drives the crank to rotate a full revolution, the rotational motion is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the slider within the guide rail via the connecting rod. The linear displacement of the slider is transmitted to the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal through the connecting block 6, allowing it to achieve a pitch rotation around the rotation axis 5 at a limited angle. The length of the crank in the mechanism determines the slider stroke, and the length ratio of the connecting rod to the crank affects the quick-return characteristics of the motion. By precisely designing the dimensions of each component, the rotational angular velocity of the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal can match the dynamic law of a real animal's bite, achieving precise conversion of biomimetic motion. When selecting components, appropriate models should be chosen according to actual needs. All components required within the crank-slider mechanism 9 are existing technologies and will not be described further below.

[0037] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: the drive motor 8 is started by the control switch, the drive motor 8 drives the crank-slider mechanism 9 to work, and the crank-slider mechanism 9 can drive the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal to rotate around the rotation axis 5 to achieve a 30-degree limit rotation, thereby simulating the biting action of the animal.

[0038] Working principle: The drive motor 8 is started by the control switch. The drive motor 8 drives the crank-slider mechanism 9 to work. The crank-slider mechanism 9 can drive the upper jaw 1 of the simulated animal to rotate around the rotation axis 5 to achieve a 30-degree limit rotation, thereby simulating the biting action of the animal.

[0039] Secondly, when the upper jaw 1 and lower jaw 2 of the simulated animal close, if the audience's hand is in the biting area, the protective pad 703 at the bottom of the upper teeth 704 will make contact with the hand first. Through elastic deformation, the instantaneous impact force will be initially buffered and attenuated. At the same time, the movable spring 705 at the top of the movable plate 701 will undergo compression deformation, and the remaining impact force will be further absorbed by the elastic damping effect. Under the dual action, the local pressure when the hand contacts is effectively dispersed, avoiding the risk of fingertip crushing injury, skin abrasion and other risks, and significantly improving the safety of using simulated animals in interactive display scenarios.
