Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, specifically to a toy light guide structure and the toy thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Optical fibers (or optical fibers) have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their unique light transmission properties, which allow their products to create a beautiful and dazzling decorative effect. They are also gradually being widely used in toys.

[0003] Currently, many light-up toys often have a single light source installed inside to save internal space. However, many toys emit light from more than one part, which requires the transmission and guidance of light to achieve the effect of one light source illuminating multiple different parts. Using optical fiber to guide light is undoubtedly an ideal choice for designers. However, optical fibers are flexible, not easy to fix, and have poor splicing ability, which greatly limits their versatility as a light guiding structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a toy light guide structure and the toy thereof.

[0005] According to the present invention, a light guiding structure for a toy includes an optical fiber and a fixing member. One end of the fixing member has an opening, and the end of the optical fiber can be fixed in the opening. The other end of the fixing member is a light-transmitting structure or a through hole, which allows the light transmitted by the optical fiber to be transmitted to the outside of the fixing member through the light-transmitting structure or the through hole. The other end of the fixing member is a splicing end, which allows the fixing member to be spliced ​​and fixed.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing member is provided at one or both ends of the optical fiber.

[0007] Preferably, the optical fiber can be configured to have different lengths.

[0008] Preferably, the fastener has a cylindrical structure.

[0009] Preferably, the fastener has a circumferential limit protrusion.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting protrusion is configured as an annular limiting structure arranged continuously or discontinuously along the circumference of the fastener.

[0011] Preferably, the opening allows the end of the optical fiber to enter the interior of the fixing member under external force and does not allow the fixing member to detach from the optical fiber under natural conditions.

[0012] Preferably, a light source is provided at the end of the optical fiber.

[0013] Preferably, the light source is an LED lamp.

[0014] Preferably, a light guide is further provided between the end of the optical fiber and the light source.

[0015] Preferably, the light guide has an inflexible structure.

[0016] Preferably, the end of the opening has a flared shape.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes an assembly, wherein the splicing end is spliced ​​onto the assembly.

[0018] Preferably, the splicing end is a male or female connector.

[0019] Preferably, the portion of the assembly facing the splicing end has a light-transmitting structure.

[0020] Preferably, the assembly is made of a light-transmitting material.

[0021] Preferably, the optical fiber can guide light in a straight or bent state.

[0022] A toy according to the present invention includes the aforementioned toy light guide structure.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention uses a fixing component at the end of an optical fiber. One end of the fixing component has an opening for connecting to the end of the optical fiber, and the other end of the fixing component is a splicing end and a light-transmitting structure. This not only fixes the optical fiber but also allows the light transmitted by the optical fiber to be transmitted to the outside of the fixing component through the light-transmitting structure.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] This utility model provides a light guide structure for toys, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes an optical fiber 1 and a fixing member 2. One end of the fixing member 2 has an opening for fixing the optical fiber 1. The other end of the fixing member 2 is a splicing end, which allows the fixing member 2 to be spliced ​​and fixed to the toy, thereby fixing the optical fiber 1 in the toy. At the same time, the other end of the fixing member 2 is a light-transmitting structure or a through hole, which allows the light transmitted by the optical fiber 1 to be transmitted to the outside of the fixing member 2 through the light-transmitting structure or through hole, thereby achieving light transmission and achieving the effect of light shining in a certain part of the toy.

[0037] Specifically, the end of optical fiber 1 can extend into and be fixed by the opening. In practical applications, the opening allows the end of optical fiber 1 to enter the interior of the fixing member 2 under the drive of external force, preferably manual force, and the fixing member 2 should not detach from optical fiber 1 under natural conditions. To facilitate the entry of the end of optical fiber 1 into the opening, the end of the opening can be designed as a flared structure. The fixing member 2 in this invention can not only fix the end of optical fiber 1 and improve stability, but also allow for assembly by manual force, making the assembly operation simpler.

[0038] In practical applications, the optical fiber 1 can be configured to different lengths according to the light guiding requirements, so as to achieve the effect of simultaneous illumination of parts at different distances from the light source 4, and also to achieve the effect of illumination of multiple different parts of a single light source 4.

[0039] To effectively fix the optical fiber 1, in this embodiment, both ends of the optical fiber 1 are equipped with fixing members 2, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also includes an assembly 5, and the splicing end can be spliced ​​onto the assembly 5. As a structure that matches the fixing part 2, the assembly 5 achieves the effect of being able to be assembled and disassembled with the fixing part 2, making the operation simpler.

[0040] Furthermore, to enhance versatility, the splicing end can be designed as either a male or female connector. When the splicing end is male, a matching female connector can be configured on assembly 5. When the splicing end is female, a matching male connector can be configured on assembly 5, making splicing simpler.

[0041] It should be noted that the part of the assembly 5 facing the splicing end is a light-transmitting structure, which allows the light transmitted from the optical fiber 1 to be transmitted in the direction that needs to be transmitted through the assembly 5, so as to achieve the effect of lighting in one or more parts.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the fastener 2 is preferably cylindrical. To make the fastener 2 more precise during assembly, a limiting protrusion 21 is provided in the circumference of the fastener 2. The limiting protrusion 21 can indicate to the user whether the assembly is in place. The limiting protrusion 21 can be set at a certain part or two parts in the circumference of the fastener 2, or it can be designed as a ring limiting structure that is continuously or discontinuously arranged along the circumference of the fastener 2. In practical applications, it can be flexibly designed according to different scenarios.

[0043] A light source 4 is provided at the end of the optical fiber 1. The light source 4 is preferably an LED lamp. When the light source 4 is powered on and illuminates, the light enters the interior of the optical fiber 1 through the fixing member 2 at one end of the optical fiber 1 and is emitted from the other end of the optical fiber 1. After passing through the fixing member 2 and the mounting part 5 arranged at the other end, the light is transmitted to the part that needs to be illuminated.

[0044] Specifically, the optical fiber 1 can be arranged inside the toy in a straight or bent state according to the path of light transmission to guide the light. This can achieve the effect of simultaneous illumination of multiple different parts of a single light source 4, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the toy, making the structure more compact, improving the integration of the toy, and increasing the fun of the toy.

[0045] This utility model also provides a toy, including a toy light guide structure. The toy can install a light source 4 in a certain part inside the toy according to the overall design of the light, and configure the assembly 5 next to the light source 4 in each part that needs light. An optical fiber 1 is set between the light source 4 and the part that needs light. The optical fiber 1 is a flexible structure that can be bent at will. Fixing parts 2 are configured at both ends of the optical fiber 1. By assembling the fixing parts 2 on the assembly 5, the light transmission from the light source 4 to the part that needs light can be realized.

[0046] Example 2:

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the assembly 5 is made of a light-transmitting material, and all parts of the assembly 5 are light-transmitting.

[0048] In this embodiment, a light guide 3 is also provided between the end of the optical fiber 1 and the light source 4. One end of the optical fiber 1 is equipped with a fixing member 2, and the other end of the optical fiber 1 directly serves as the light-emitting end to illuminate the parts of the toy that need to be lit. In this embodiment, when the light is transmitted, the light from the light source 4 first enters one end of the light guide 3 and is emitted from the other end of the light guide 3. The emitted light then passes through the mounting member 5, the fixing member 2, and the optical fiber 1 in sequence for transmission. Since the light guide 3 is an inflexible structure, it needs to be transmitted through the optical fiber 1 on the light path that needs to be bent in order to achieve the effect of light transmission on different toy paths.
