As shown in fig. 2, the carrier 110 may be a flexible strip-shaped structure, in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the carrier 110 is a strip-shaped flexible strip, and includes a mounting surface 111, the mounting surface 111 is a surface of the carrier 110 carrying the tag 120, and the tag 120 may be protruded on the mounting surface 111, or may be provided on the mounting surface 111 by hand drawing or printing. In the present embodiment, by making the carrier 110 be a flexible strip-shaped structure, it is possible to facilitate the storage of the carrier 110 in the non-operating state, i.e., to facilitate the switching of the carrier 110 between the stored state and the operating state. And the bearing member 110 is conveniently accommodated in the toy car 200 after being wound, or the bearing member 110 is fixed outside the toy car 200, so that the bearing member 110 is small in size and does not occupy the space of the toy car 200.

In one embodiment, the supporting member 110 may also be a card structure, and the supporting member 110 having the card structure supports a preset command, so that the supporting member 110 may be inserted from the outside of the toy vehicle 200, and the identification unit 210 inside the toy vehicle 200 identifies the command supported by the supporting member 110, and the preset command supported by the supporting member 110 having the card structure is more convenient to input into the toy vehicle 200.

Further, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of the tag 120. As shown in fig. 3, the tag 120 includes an instruction region 121, and the instruction region 121 is used for carrying a predetermined instruction. The label 120 may be at least one of a pattern, a text, a barcode, or a two-dimensional code, that is, the instruction of the instruction area 121 carried by the label 120 may be implemented by at least one of a pattern, a text, a barcode, or a two-dimensional code. It can be understood that the pattern, the text, the barcode or the two-dimensional code are all visible, so that the device for receiving the instruction collects and identifies the instruction carried by the label 120 through the visual sensor, that is, the identification unit 210 identifies the instruction through the visual sensor. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the instructions of the instruction area 121 are implemented in the form of a bar code.

In one embodiment, the recognition unit 210 may be an image sensor or a scanner. When the label 120 of the instruction input assembly 100 carries an instruction in the form of a pattern, a word or a two-dimensional code, the recognition unit 210 may recognize the pattern, the word or the two-dimensional code through the image sensor.

As shown in fig. 3, the tag 120 may further include a parameter area 122, where the parameter area 122 carries a parameter, and the parameter corresponds to an instruction carried by the instruction area 121, that is, the parameter of the parameter area 122 corresponds to an instruction carried by the instruction area 121 located on the same tag 120. The parameter of the parameter area 122 may be implemented by at least one of a pattern, a letter, a bar code, a two-dimensional code, or a number, which is not particularly limited in this application. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the parameters of the parameter area 122 are implemented in numerical form.

In addition, the parameter area 122 may be located in the instruction area 121, or may be disposed on the tag 120 side by side with the instruction area 121. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the parameter area 122 and the command area 121 are disposed side by side on the tag 120. The parameters in the parameter area 122 can further define, or explain, the instructions carried by the instruction area 121. For example, when the instruction input assembly 100 inputs an instruction to the toy vehicle 200, the instruction area 121 of the tag 120 may carry an instruction of "straight running", "right turning", "stopping", etc., and the parameter of the parameter area 122 may be a running speed or a running angle defining the toy vehicle 200 in a state of "straight running", "right turning", "stopping", etc. As shown in fig. 3, the command in the command area 121 may be "straight line", and the parameter in the parameter area 122 corresponding thereto is "1", which means that the straight speed of the toy vehicle 200 is 1m/s; when the toy vehicle 200 is vocalizable, the command area 121 may be "sing" and the parameter area 122 corresponding thereto may have a parameter of "1", which may indicate that the toy vehicle 200 is trumpet-sounding once.

As shown in fig. 3, the tag 120 may further include a start area 123, and the start area 123 is used to identify an instruction of the tag 120 or prompt the tag 120 to be recognized from the start area 123. The start identifier of the start area 123 may be implemented by at least one of a pattern, a character, a barcode, or a two-dimensional code, which is not limited in this application. In addition, the start area 123 may be located in the instruction area 121, may be located in the parameter area 122, or may be disposed on the label 120 in parallel with the instruction area 121 and the parameter area 122, respectively. In the embodiment shown in fig. 3, the start area 123 is arranged on the label 120 at an interval with the parameter area 122 and the instruction area 121, respectively, for prompting the label 120 where the start area 123 is located to start inputting instructions and parameters, that is, the instructions in the instruction area 121 or the parameters in the parameter area 122 start to be identified.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the tag 120 according to an embodiment. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the parameter area 122 is located in the instruction area 121, and the start area 123 and the instruction area 121 are arranged side by side on the tag 120. The instruction in the instruction area 121 is implemented in a text form, and the parameter in the parameter area 122 is implemented in a number form.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is another structural diagram of the tag 120 according to an embodiment. In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the start area 123 and the parameter area 122 are both located in the instruction area 121, and the start area 123 and the parameter area 122 are arranged at an interval in the instruction area 121. As shown in fig. 5, the instruction of the instruction area 121 is implemented in a pattern, so that the recognition unit 210 can recognize the acquisition instruction through the image sensor.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic plan view of an exemplary instruction input assembly 100. As shown in fig. 6, the command input assembly 100 may further include a plurality of tags 120, and the plurality of tags 120 are sequentially arranged on the mounting surface 111 of the carrier 110. Specifically, the plurality of tags 120 may be disposed on the mounting surface 111 of the carrier 110 at a certain distance, may be disposed on the mounting surface 111 sequentially, or may adjust the distance between the plurality of tags 120 according to the response requirement of the toy vehicle 200, which is not limited in this application.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, a plurality of tags 120 are spaced apart from each other on the mounting surface 111 such that the tags 120 are fixed relative to the carrier 110. The connection mode between the plurality of labels 120 and the carrier 110 may be detachable connection or fixed connection. In this embodiment, all of the tags 120 are removably attached to the mounting surface 111 of the carrier 110. By having all the tags 120 detachably connected to the carrier 110, all the tags 120 can be replaced, and at the same time, the sequence of the tags 120 can be adjusted, further enlarging the possibility of the order of the command input.

One embodiment provides for removably attaching at least one label 120 to the carrier 110 such that the at least one label 120 can be replaced or the order of the labels 120 removably attached to the carrier 110 can be adjusted. By adjusting the arrangement sequence among the detachable tags 120, the input sequence of the preset instructions can be changed or adjusted, i.e., the diversity of the input of the preset instructions can be expanded.

When the carrier 110 carries a plurality of tags 120, the command input assembly 100 can continuously input a preset command to the toy vehicle 200, that is, the identification unit 210 can identify the tags 120 one by one, and sequentially transmit command information to the control unit 220 of the toy vehicle 200 according to the sequence of the identified tags 120, after receiving the command information, the control unit 220 forms a plurality of control commands and transmits the control commands to the response unit 230, and the response unit 230 sequentially forms a continuous response corresponding to the preset commands, that is, the toy vehicle 200 can continuously realize a plurality of responses corresponding to the preset commands.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 6, the label 120a, the label 120b, and the label 120c are carried on the mounting surface 111 of the carrier 110. In the embodiment shown in fig. 6, after the identification unit 210 identifies the start mark of the start area 123a of the tag 120a, it starts to identify the parameter area 122a and the command area 121a of the tag 120a, the command of the command area 121a of the tag 120a is "straight line", and the parameter of the parameter area 122a corresponding to the command area 121a is "10", that is, it can indicate that the toy vehicle 200 is straight at a speed of 10 km/h. When the identification unit 210 of the toy vehicle 200 identifies the start mark of the start area 123b of the tag 120b, the parameter area 122b and the command area 121b of the tag 120b are further identified, the command area 121b of the tag 120b indicates "turn right", and the parameter area 122b corresponding to the command area 121b indicates "60", which indicates that the toy vehicle 200 turns right by 60 degrees. When the identification unit 210 of the toy vehicle 200 identifies the start mark of the start area 123c of the tag 120c, the parameter area 122c and the command area 121c of the tag 120c start to be further identified, the command area 121c of the tag 120c is indicated as "straight line", and the parameter area 122c corresponding to the command area 121c is indicated as "10", that is, the toy vehicle 200 can be indicated as straight line for 10 meters.

It will be appreciated that in the embodiment shown in fig. 6, the toy vehicle 200 will travel straight at a speed of 10km/h after the tag 120a is identified by the identification unit 210. After the toy vehicle 200 has traveled until the tag 120b is identified by the identification unit 210, the toy vehicle 200 will turn to the right by 60 degrees and continue traveling straight at 10 km/h. After the toy vehicle 200 has traveled until the identification unit 210 identifies the tag 120c, the toy vehicle 200 may stop after traveling 10 meters straight or continue to respond to preset instructions carried by the next tag 120.

In the prior art, the robot is controlled to achieve the response required by the user, usually by the user inputting the instruction continuously in a single time or by using a device carrying the instruction and combining with the robot. And the continuous single-time instruction input not only reduces the continuity of the response of the robot to the instructions, but also reduces the experience of the user on the robot control. In addition, when a robot is controlled using a device carrying instructions, it is necessary to maintain a communication connection between the robot and the instruction input device, making it difficult to ensure that a user remotely controls the robot. By the instruction input assembly 100, a plurality of preset instructions can be input at a single time, so that the continuity of instruction input is realized. By adjusting the sequence of the plurality of tags 120, the sequence of the instruction corresponding to each tag can be adjusted based on the presetting, so that the input modes of different preset sequence instructions are realized, the input modes of the instructions are enriched, and the programmable effect of the instructions is realized. Compared with a control device requiring communication connection, the command input assembly 100 has a simpler structure and is lower in manufacturing cost.

In one embodiment, the toy vehicle 200 further includes a transmission unit 240, which is shown in fig. 7. In this embodiment, the transmission unit 240 may be housed inside the toy vehicle 200, the command input assembly 100 is fixed relative to the transmission unit 240, and the transmission unit 240 is configured to drive the command input assembly 100 to slide relative to the identification unit 210, so that the plurality of labels 120 carried by the carrier 110 sequentially slide through the visible area 211 of the identification unit 210, and the identification unit 210 can identify the labels 120 carried by the command input assembly 100 one by one. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the transmission unit 240 includes a driving wheel 241, a driven wheel 242, and a transmission belt 243, wherein the driving wheel 241 and the driven wheel 242 are arranged at a distance from each other on a plane parallel to the plane of the mounting surface 111 of the carrier 110, and the arrangement direction is the same as the direction in which the tags 120 sequentially slide through the visible area 211 of the identification unit 210. The driving belt 243 is wound around the wheel surfaces of the driving wheel 241 and the driven wheel 242 and rotates relative to the driving wheel 241 and the driven wheel 242, i.e., the driving wheel 241 and the driven wheel 242 cooperate to drive the driving belt 243 to slide relative to the identification unit 210 even if the driving belt 243 slides relative to the visible region 211. Further, the command input assembly 100 is fixedly connected to the driving belt 243 by the surface of the carrier 110 facing away from the mounting surface 111, and further, the driving belt 243 rotates, so that the labels 120 carried by the carrier 110 slide from the visible area 211, and the identification unit 210 is facilitated to identify a plurality of labels 120 one by one.

In one embodiment, the transmission unit 240 may drive the command input assembly 100 to slide back and forth relative to the identification unit 210, so as to change the sequence of the tags carried by the identification unit 210 and the command input assembly 100, thereby improving the operation degree of the toy vehicle 200.

By sliding the command input assembly 100 and the tags 120 carried thereby relative to the identification unit 210, the identification unit 210 can identify the tags 120 carried by the command input assembly 100 one by one, even if the tags 120 slide sequentially relative to the identification unit 210 within the viewing area 211. And enables the command input assembly 100 to continuously input preset commands to the toy vehicle 200.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of an internal component frame of the response unit 230 according to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 8, the response unit 230 may include at least one of a mechanism action unit 231, a sound unit 232, or a light emitting unit 233, which is not particularly limited in the present application. In particular, response unit 230 is an action, or function, that toy vehicle 200 may implement. That is, when response unit 230 includes mechanism action unit 231, the transmission mechanism of toy vehicle 200 may be connected and driven by a motor to enable toy vehicle 200 to perform grabbing, straight, backing, flipping, turning, parking, etc., or other mechanical actions that toy vehicle 200 may perform.
