[0010] An embodiment of the running toy of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the front-to-rear direction of the running toy 1 refers to the longitudinal direction of the running toy 1, and in particular, the forward direction of the running toy 1 is referred to as the front, and the opposite direction of the front is referred to as the rear. Regarding the left-to-right direction of the running toy 1, the right side when facing the direction of travel of the running toy 1 is referred to as the right, and the left side when facing the direction of travel is referred to as the left. Regarding the up-down direction of the running toy 1, the upper side in the vertical direction with respect to the running surface X is referred to as the up, and the lower side in the vertical direction is referred to as the down.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of a running toy according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is an upper perspective view showing a main body of the running toy. Fig. 3 is a lower perspective view showing the main body of the running toy. Fig. 4 is a front view showing the main body of the running toy. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing the internal structure of the main body. The traveling toy 1 has a main body 10, a cover 20 that covers the main body 10, and a vibration mechanism 30 that is housed in the main body 10. In the traveling toy 1, when the vibration mechanism 30 vibrates, the cover body 20 moves the main body 10, which has a shape resembling an animal or a character, forward.

[0012] (Main body 10) The main body 10 has an upper cover 11 and a bottom 12 made of resin. The vibration mechanism 30 installed on the bottom portion 12 is covered by the upper cover portion 11, so that the vibration mechanism 30 is housed inside the main body portion 10.

[0013] The upper cover part 11 is formed in a dome (hemispherical) shape so as to cover the vibration mechanism 30. A switch hole 11a is formed on the top surface of the upper cover part 11, through which an operation switch 34 for turning the operation of the vibration mechanism 30 on and off is inserted.

[0014] The bottom 12 is a flat surface formed into an ellipse that is long in the front-to-back direction when viewed in a plane, and has an installation surface 14 on which the vibration mechanism 30 is placed, an edge portion 14a that raises the outer edge of the installation surface 14 upward, a curved surface 16 that curves gently downward from the edge portion 14a toward the center of the bottom surface of the bottom 12, a rear contact portion 15 that protrudes downward from the curved surface 16 and contacts the running surface, and a removable lid portion 17 that forms part of the curved surface 16.

[0015] The rear ground contact portion 15 has a cylindrical protruding member 15A located in the center of the bottom portion 12 in the left-right direction and toward the rear in the front-to-rear direction, and a soft elastic member 15B provided at the lower end of the protruding member 15A. The soft elastic member 15B has a spherical curved surface and is formed so that the center of the lower portion protrudes downward.

[0016] The curved surface 16 is formed so that the front of the rear ground contact portion 15 is longer than the rear of the rear ground contact portion 15, and the front part of the curved surface 16 has a front ground contact portion 15C that comes into contact with the running surface X together with the soft elastic member 15B of the rear ground contact portion 15 when the running toy 1 is placed on the running surface X. As a result, the running toy 1 placed on the running surface X assumes a forward tilted posture, tilting downward toward the front, as the soft elastic member 15B protruding downward near the rear of the bottom 12 and the front ground contact portion 15C on the front side of the curved surface 16 come into contact with the running surface X. This configuration can be seen in Fig. 9, which will be described later.

[0017] (Cover body 20) 1, the cover body 20 is a bag-shaped member that covers the main body 10, and is provided with a face portion 20A that resembles the face of an animal or character at least on the front. In this embodiment, the cover body 20 is made of cloth, but is not limited to this and may be made of, for example, nonwoven fabric or a resin sheet shaped like a bag. In this embodiment, the cover body 20 covers the entire main body 10, and therefore also covers the operation switch 34 exposed at the top of the main body 10 and the rear grounding portion 15 protruding downward at the bottom of the main body 10. The cover body 20 may be configured so that the operation switch 34 and the bottom portion 12 at the bottom of the main body 10 are exposed.

[0018] (Vibration mechanism 30) Next, the vibration mechanism 30 will be described with reference to Fig. 6 to Fig. 8. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the vibration mechanism. Fig. 7 is a plan view showing the vibration mechanism. Fig. 8 is a side view showing the vibration mechanism.

[0019] The vibration mechanism 30 includes a motor 31, an eccentric weight 32 that is rotationally driven by the motor 31, a drive shaft 33 that is the rotation axis of the eccentric weight 32, an operation switch 34 that turns the drive of the motor 31 on and off, a battery storage section 35 that stores a battery (not shown), a transmission mechanism 40 that transmits the power of the motor 31 to the eccentric weight 32, and a control section 50. The control unit 50 is configured to be able to execute forward control, which controls the forward running of the traveling toy 1 to be irregular, by controlling the driving of the motor 31. Details will be described later.

[0020] In this embodiment, the battery housing section 35 includes cylindrical housing sections 35L and 35R that house button batteries (not shown) and are arranged side by side on the rear side of the installation surface 14. When the cover 17 on the bottom 12 (curved surface 16) side of the battery accommodating section 35 is removed, the lower part of the battery accommodating section 35 is opened, and the battery becomes available for replacement.

[0021] The motor 31 is a DC motor that is driven by power supplied from a button battery in the battery housing portion 35. The motor 31 is housed in a motor housing portion disposed on the upper surface of one of the left and right (right in the illustrated example) housing portions 35R, and the output shaft 31a projects forward from the motor housing portion .

[0022] The operation switch 34 is an alternate push button located toward the rear of the main body 10 in the front-rear direction and approximately in the center in the left-right direction, and is used to turn the drive of the motor 31 on and off. The operation switch 34 is disposed on a plate-shaped control unit 50 that extends in the vertical direction and is supported above the other of the left and right (left in the illustrated example) storage units 35L via a pair of support members 37, 37 that are disposed in front and behind the installation surface 14. This configuration can be seen in FIGS. 7 and 8. That is, the motor 31 is disposed on one of the left and right sides (right) of the operation switch 34 disposed approximately in the center in the left-right direction, and the control unit 50 is disposed on the other of the left and right sides (left). In addition, battery storage units 35 are disposed below the motor 31 and the control unit 50, respectively. Additionally, an upper operation portion 34a of the operation switch 34 is exposed on the upper cover portion 11 through the switch hole 11a. Therefore, by pressing the operation switch 34 on the top surface of the main body portion 10, the vibration mechanism 30 (motor 31) can be turned on and off. The operation switch 34 is not limited to a push button type operation tool, but may be a toggle switch or the like.

[0023] The eccentric weight 32 is a plate-like weight formed in a sector shape, and rotates integrally with the drive shaft 33 inserted near the central angle. The drive shaft 33 extends in the left-right direction, and both left and right ends thereof are journaled on journal support portions 39. The journal support portions 39 are provided in recesses 38a, 38a formed at the upper ends of a pair of left and right support plates 38, 38 provided in the front part of the installation surface 14, respectively.

[0024] The eccentric weight 32 is pivotally supported so that its plane is aligned with a center line O1 in the front-rear direction that passes through the center of the main body 10 in the left-right direction. The eccentric weight 32 is disposed in front of a vertical center line O2 that passes through the center of the main body 10 in the front-rear direction in a side view. In addition, the battery storage section 35, the operation switch 34, the motor 31, and the control section 50 are arranged in a space-efficient manner behind the eccentric weight 32, more specifically, in the range behind the eccentric weight 32 and forward of the rear end of the rear grounding portion 15. Furthermore, the motor 31 that drives the eccentric weight 32 is installed on the upper surface of the battery housing portion 35, so that the vertical position of the eccentric weight 32 can be made higher. This configuration can be seen in FIG.

[0025] The transmission mechanism 40 has an output gear 41 provided on the output shaft 31a of the motor 31, and a crown gear 42 that is inserted through the drive shaft 33 to rotate integrally with the drive shaft 33 and is arranged to mesh with the output gear 41. As a result, the transmission mechanism 40 can transmit the power output to the output shaft 31a of the motor 31 to the drive shaft 33, and can drive the eccentric weight 32 to rotate around the drive shaft 33 as an axis.

[0026] (Action and effect) The operation of the above-mentioned running toy 1 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. Figure 9 is a side view showing a state in which the main body is placed on a running surface in a forward tilted position. In the traveling toy 1 configured as described above, when the operating portion 34a of the operating switch 34 is pressed downward from above the cover body 20, the eccentric weight 32 is rotated by the motor 31, causing the vibration mechanism 30 to vibrate in the vertical direction.

[0027] Due to the vibration of the vibration mechanism 30, the front ground contact portion 15C on the front side of the curved surface 16 is repelled by the running surface X, causing the front portion of the bottom portion 12 to bounce upward. At the same time, the soft elastic member 15B repeatedly compresses and repels, causing the rear portion of the bottom portion 12 to bounce upward. 9, when the running toy 1 is placed on the running surface X, the main body 10 assumes a forward tilting posture, and a component force that bounces the main body 10 upward and diagonally forward is generated by the vibration of the vibration mechanism 30. As a result, the running toy 1 starts moving forward.

[0028] In the traveling toy 1, the battery storage section 35, the motor 31, the operation switch 34, and the control section 50 are compactly arranged in a concentrated manner behind the eccentric weight 32 arranged above the front ground contact section 15C. Therefore, when the running toy 1 (main body 10) is tilted downward toward the front on the running surface X, the front ground contact portion 15C at the front of the bottom 12 moves up and down more than the rear ground contact portion 15 at the rear of the bottom 12, which is relatively heavy.

[0029] According to this configuration, the running toy 1 runs forward while the front part of the main body 10 on which the face 20A is formed moves up and down greatly, which improves the sense of dynamism and makes the movement more animal-like.

[0030] (control unit 50) Next, the forward control by the control unit will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing a flowchart of the forward control process. The control unit 50 has an input connected to the operation switch 34, and an output connected to the motor 31. When the control unit 50 detects an ON operation of the operation switch 34, the control unit 50 controls the driving of the motor 31, thereby enabling forward control to make the traveling toy 1 travel forward in an unpredictable, irregular motion.

[0031] The forward control by the control unit 50 has a plurality of driving modes. In each running mode, a process is executed to stop the driving of the motor 31 for a predetermined time at a predetermined timing while the motor 31 is running. This makes the forward running of the running toy 1 irregular, resulting in more animal-like movements. The control unit 50 rotates the driving mode to be executed from among a plurality of driving modes by turning on the operation switch 34. In this embodiment, the control unit 50 has a total of three driving modes: a first driving mode A, a second driving mode B, and a third driving mode C.

[0032] The processing flow of the forward control will be described with reference to FIG. In step S101, the control unit 50 checks whether or not a switch-on operation has been performed to switch the operation switch 34 from an OFF state to an ON state, and if a switch-on operation of the operation switch 34 has been detected, the control unit 50 proceeds to step S102. If the ON operation of the operation switch 34 is not detected in step S101, the process proceeds to step S103.

[0033] In step S102, the driving of the motor 31 is started, and the driving mode selected from among the plurality of driving modes is rotated, and then the process proceeds to step S103. Specifically, if the first driving mode A is selected and the process proceeds to step S102, the control unit 50 switches from the first driving mode A to the second driving mode B. Similarly, if the second driving mode B is selected and the process proceeds to step S102, the control unit 50 switches from the second driving mode B to the third driving mode C. Similarly, if the third driving mode C is selected and the process proceeds to step S102, the control unit 50 switches from the third driving mode C to the first driving mode A.

[0034] In step S103, it is confirmed whether the operation switch 34 is in the ON state or the OFF state, and if the ON state of the operation switch 34 is detected, the process proceeds to step S104.

[0035] In step S104, the control unit 50 checks the selected driving mode, and if it is confirmed that it is the first driving mode A, it proceeds to step S105, if it is confirmed that it is the second driving mode B, it proceeds to step S106, and if it is confirmed that it is the third driving mode C, it proceeds to step S107. After controlling the driving of the motor 31 in accordance with each driving mode in steps S105 to S107, the process returns.

[0036] In the first running mode A in step S105, the control unit 50 drives the motor 31 for 0.5 seconds, then stops driving the motor 31 for 0.5 seconds, repeating this process three times, and then drives the motor 31 for 2.5 seconds before stopping the driving of the motor 31. After this, the process returns to the beginning of the first running mode A and repeats the process.

[0037] In the second driving mode B in step S106, the control unit 50 executes a process of driving the motor 31 for 1.0 second, then stopping the driving of the motor 31 for 0.5 second, then driving the motor 31 for 0.5 second, then stopping the driving of the motor 31 for 0.5 second, and then driving the motor 31 for 7.0 seconds, before stopping the driving of the motor 31. After this, the process returns to the start of the second driving mode B and is repeated.

[0038] In the third driving mode C in step S107, the control unit 50 executes a process of driving the motor 31 for 6.0 seconds, then stopping the driving of the motor 31 for 0.5 seconds, and then driving the motor 31 for 3.0 seconds before stopping the driving of the motor 31. After this, the process returns to the beginning of the third driving mode C and repeats.

[0039] In the first running mode A, the process of temporarily stopping the drive of the motor 31 is executed many times in a short period of time, so that the running toy 1 moves more like a small animal. In the second running mode B, the process of temporarily stopping the drive of the motor 31 is executed less frequently than in the first running mode A. In the third running mode C, the process of temporarily stopping the drive of the motor 31 is executed less frequently than in the second running mode B, so that the running toy 1 moves so that it rarely pauses. In each running mode, it is possible to arbitrarily change the time and timing for temporarily stopping the driving of the motor 31. The processing content of the running mode may be changed depending on the animal or character that the running toy 1 imitates.

[0040] If it is detected in step S103 that the operation switch 34 is in the OFF state, the driving of the motor 31 is stopped or the stopped state is maintained, and then the process returns.

[0041] According to the control unit 50 described above, the running toy 1 moves forward while its front part moves up and down greatly due to the vibration mechanism 30, and repeats irregular movements such as suddenly stopping while moving forward and then suddenly starting to move again, making the running toy 1 feel more like a real animal. Furthermore, since a plurality of running patterns are prepared and the running pattern can be switched by operating the operation switch 34, the movement of the running toy 1 can be enjoyed without getting bored.

[0042] In the above-described embodiment, the control unit 50 regularly rotates the driving mode when the ON operation of the operation switch 34 is detected, but the driving mode may also be randomly selected from a plurality of driving modes. Also, the driving mode may be switched when the OFF operation of the operation switch 34 is detected. Furthermore, in the above example, the control unit 50 has three driving modes, but the number of driving modes is not limited as long as it is two or more. Furthermore, in the above example, each running mode includes a process for temporarily stopping the driving of the motor 31, but a continuous running mode in which the motor 31 is continuously driven may also be provided.

[0043] Furthermore, in the above example, the driving mode is switched by operating the operation switch 34, but the conditions for switching the driving mode are not limited to this. For example, the control unit 50 may be configured to automatically switch the driving mode when the ON state of the operation switch 34 exceeds a predetermined time.

[0044] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications and improvements are possible as appropriate.
