Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a component or accessory of a robot puppet, and more particularly to a puppet head structure with a hidden switch. Background Technology

[0002] In educational robots or companion robots, which are mainly interactive, they are usually small humanoid in shape. These robot dolls usually interact primarily through voice, and also have a few buttons on the machine to perform some routine or custom operations, such as physical switches, mode switching, and wake-up. Such switches have the following technical problems. 1. Setting up a switch requires drilling holes and installing buttons on the surface of the robot puppet, which disrupts the integrity of the robot puppet's surface shape and pattern; the gap between the buttons and the holes is prone to accumulating dirt and is not easy to clean, and water ingress may affect the normal operation of the internal circuitry. 2. Even if touch buttons are provided, the function of the buttons still needs to be marked on the surface, which will still affect the integrity of the surface shape and pattern; 3. The switch operation is purely functional and lacks any interactive features; 4. Operations can only be performed within the area where the buttons are located. The button operation area is small, making operation inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0003] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a doll head structure with a hidden switch, which solves the adverse effects on the shape and structural integrity of the surface when setting a switch on existing robot dolls, as well as the impact of the internal layout on heat dissipation.

[0004] The doll's head structure with a hidden switch includes a head assembly and a neck connector. The head assembly includes a head housing, a circuit board is provided inside the head housing, the circuit board is vertically disposed in the middle of the head housing, a switch button is provided on the circuit board, the switch button is designed to be triggered from below in a vertical direction, and a through hole is provided at the bottom of the head housing corresponding to the switch button; The neck connector is movably connected to the head shell at least in the vertical direction, and the upper end of the neck connector is installed inside the head shell from the through hole; The neck connector is configured such that when the head shell is pressed down, the upper part of the neck connector directly or indirectly contacts and triggers the switch button.

[0005] Due to the above-described structure, the hidden switch assembly of this application embodiment conceals the switch button inside the head shell. While having a switching function, it eliminates the need for physical or touch buttons on the outside of the robot puppet. The button can be triggered by pressing the head to achieve the corresponding function, making the button trigger interactive. The large button operation area enhances the convenience of operation. At the same time, the circuit board is vertically arranged, effectively utilizing the space inside the head shell and enabling good heat dissipation of the circuit board.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, clarifies that the described embodiments are only a portion, not all, of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the following embodiments without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] It should be understood that if the controllers or control circuits involved in the embodiments are conventional control technologies or units for those skilled in the art, such as the control circuits of the controllers, they can be implemented by those skilled in the art using existing technologies.

[0018] The disclosure of the embodiments provides many different implementations or examples for different solutions to implement this utility model. To simplify the disclosure of this utility model, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described in the embodiments. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or reference letters may be repeated in different examples in the embodiments; this repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various implementations and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, if examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in the embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0019] First, it should be noted that the hidden switch component in this application is mainly designed to enable the user to press the head to trigger the switch button. The instructions executed after the switch button is triggered can be set according to the actual function of the robot, or can be defined by the user. The following embodiments mainly explain the implementation principle from a structural perspective, without focusing on the signal control or instruction processing executed by the specific switch button in the circuit.

[0020] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the doll head structure with a hidden switch in this embodiment includes a head assembly 1 and a neck connector 2. The head assembly 1 includes a head housing 3, and a circuit board 4 is provided inside the head housing 3. The circuit board 4 is configured to be vertically disposed in the middle of the head housing 3. A switch button 5 is provided on the circuit board 4. The switch button 5 is configured to be triggered from below in a vertical direction. A through hole 6 is provided at the bottom of the head housing 3 corresponding to the switch button 5. The neck connector 2 is movably connected to the head shell 3 at least in the vertical direction, and the upper end of the neck connector 2 is installed in the head shell 3 through the through hole; The neck connector 2 is configured such that when the head housing 3 is pressed down, the upper part of the neck connector 2 directly or indirectly contacts and triggers the switch button.

[0021] The head assembly 1 includes structural components and functional devices. The head shell 3 serves as the main body of the structural component, with an external shape resembling a doll's head. Internally, it provides space to accommodate various functional devices, and internally includes structures for mounting or fixing these devices, such as isolation components and support components. The neck connector 2 connects to the lower part of the head assembly 1 to connect to the doll's body. Since the implementation principle in this embodiment mainly revolves around the head assembly 1 and the neck connector 2, the body component, as the structural component connected to the other end of the neck connector 2, only needs to support the neck connector 2 and the head assembly 1. Therefore, the structure of the body component is not described in detail in the various embodiments of this application. The structural design of the body component can be tailored to the actual styling requirements.

[0022] The purpose of this embodiment is to enable the user to trigger the switch button by pressing the head, thereby realizing a specific function. Therefore, the neck connector 2 and the head shell 3 are connected at least vertically. First, the head shell 3 needs to be able to be pressed down in the vertical direction, so the neck connector 2 and the head shell need to have a certain range of motion. When making the structural connection, the upper end of the neck connector 2 is installed in the head shell 3 through the through hole 6.

[0023] After the above structure is set, the neck connector 2 is installed on the body structure and its height does not change. When the user presses the head shell 3, the head shell 3 and its internal circuit board 4 move downward together, causing the switch button 5 to be pressed down, which is then triggered by the neck connector 2 below. The switch button 5 used in this embodiment is a self-resetting button with a support force of 4N. For example, the switch button with model number "3.2×4.2×2.5H-J400G double spring-black button-raised foot" produced by Shenzhen Jinlufa Electronics Co., Ltd. has a support force under the support of the internal spring. Therefore, in the natural state, the head assembly of this embodiment, including the head shell and its internal components, along with the external hair ornament, weighs about 85.5 grams. Its weight is supported by the elasticity of the switch button itself, thereby avoiding self-triggering or false triggering of the switch button.

[0024] When using other switch button models that do not have self-support, or when the size and weight of the doll are large and the self-supporting force of the switch button is insufficient to support the weight of the head assembly, an additional elastic support structure can be set for the support of the head assembly, so that the switch button is only triggered when the head is manually pressed.

[0025] Meanwhile, regarding the structure of the triggering portion of the neck connector 2 and the switch button 5, the neck connector is configured such that when the head shell is pressed downwards, the upper part of the neck connector directly or indirectly contacts and triggers the switch button 5. That is, the switch button 5 can be triggered directly through the neck connector, or indirectly through an intermediate component. In this embodiment, for the sake of simplifying the neck connector structure, an indirect triggering structure is adopted. A button cap 7 is provided on the upper part of the neck connector 2 to contact the switch button 5. The neck connector 2 supports the button cap 7 from the bottom. When the switch button 5 is pressed down, it contacts the button cap 7 to achieve triggering. The upper part of the button cap 7 has a button mating surface 71, and the lower part of the button cap is sleeved on the neck connector.

[0026] In the specific structure of the keycap 7, in order to prevent the keycap from coming out of the head housing, the keycap 7 is provided with a limiting part 71 in the middle. The horizontal dimension of the limiting part 71 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 6 at the bottom of the head housing 3, so that the keycap 7 is confined inside the head housing.

[0027] Because of the above-described structure, the hidden switch assembly of this application embodiment hides the switch button 5 inside the head shell 3. While having a switching function, it eliminates the need to set physical or touch buttons on the outside of the robot puppet. Therefore, it avoids components that affect the appearance integrity, such as openings or markings on the surface of the robot puppet, and also prevents dust and water from entering the area where the switch is located. At the same time, the button can be triggered by pressing the head to achieve the corresponding function, making the button triggering interactive. The button operation area is large, which enhances the convenience of operation.

[0028] To facilitate the assembly of the head shell, in this embodiment, the head shell 3 includes a first shell 31 and a second shell 32, which are assembled to form the head shell.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first housing 31 is a front housing located in front of the head housing, and the second housing 32 is a rear housing located behind the head housing.

[0030] In practical applications, the first housing 31 and the second housing 32 can also be two upper and lower half-housing units, or two or more housing units assembled in different directions.

[0031] To enrich the interaction methods of the robot puppet, this embodiment provides an application scheme for displaying information through the robot's eyes. Structurally, the first housing 31 has a display screen mounting position 311 on its inner side, and a display screen 8 is installed in the display screen mounting position 311. The first housing 31 has a through hole 312 corresponding to the position of the eyes, and a lens 9 is installed in the through hole 312. The content on the display screen 8 can be observed through the lens 9 of the puppet's eyes. Generally speaking, the display screen 8 displays the robot puppet's eye movements.

[0032] When the display screen 8 shows the eye movements of the robot puppet, the position of the eye shown on the display screen 8 must correspond precisely with the position of the through hole on the first housing. Otherwise, the display will be incomplete. Therefore, the display screen 8 must be installed accurately and stably and not easily shifted during use. In order to achieve the purpose of accurate and stable installation of the display screen, in this embodiment, the first housing 31 is provided with a first structural member 10 and a second structural member 11. One side of the first structural member 10 is attached to the rear side of the display screen 8, and the other side of the first structural member 10 is provided with a battery mounting position.

[0033] Meanwhile, the display mounting position 311 includes a display support portion 3111 and a display limiting portion 3112 extending horizontally from the inner side of the first housing. The display support portion 3111 is adapted to the bottom contour of the display screen to support the bottom of the display screen. The display limiting portion 3112 cooperates with the first structural member 10 to limit the front-back direction of the display screen. The second structural member 11 supports the bottom of the battery. Corresponding limiting structures 12 are provided on the display screen 8 side of the first structural member 10 and the second structural member 11.

[0034] In addition, to prevent the through hole in the lens from moving, in this embodiment, a lens limiting part 3113 is also provided in the first housing corresponding to the lens.

[0035] In terms of interaction, the robot puppet in this embodiment also provides sound interaction, which is to make sounds through a speaker. In order to install the speaker, in this embodiment, the second housing 32 is provided with a third structural member 13, and the inner side 32 of the second housing is provided with a speaker mounting position 321 corresponding to the third structural member 13. A speaker 14 is installed in the speaker mounting position 321.

[0036] Meanwhile, the speaker mounting position 321 includes a speaker limiting part formed by horizontally extending from the inner side of the second housing 32 and a speaker support part 3212 located in the speaker limiting part 3211. The speaker limiting part 3211 is shaped to fit the shape of the speaker and limits the vertical direction of the speaker. The speaker support part 3212 cooperates with the second structural member to limit the front and rear direction of the speaker.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the scope of disclosure of the embodiments of the present application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the description and drawings of the embodiments of the present application, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection supported by the embodiments of the present application.
