  As described above, the following robot toy of Patent Document 1 is equipped with an infrared sensor to sense infrared rays generated from the human body, and receives a voice supplied wirelessly by providing a voice receiver. Since the robot toy that follows the human body generates sound, the toy is not directly operated by the voice, and the structure is complicated and expensive. Absent.

  As described above, the remote control toy of Patent Document 2 recognizes the voice by receiving the transmission signal by receiving the transmission unit that converts the voice into an electrical signal and transmits it, and operates the respective parts. Since it consists of a toy body with an electronic circuit for starting or stopping the motor, it eliminates the complexity of conventional stick operation, but according to all voice operations, Since there are individual differences and there are also individual differences in the language generated, recognizing them faithfully leads to complication of the recognition electronic circuit, and it is not possible to provide a toy that is rich in taste at a low price.

  The running toy controlled by the sound signal of Patent Document 3 is provided with two or more endless rails on the board surface, and the running body running on the rail is individually controlled using a control sound of a specific frequency to compete for speed. Since it is related to the racing game toy, the running surface is limited to the rail, and it cannot be played alone.

  The present invention provides a toy that is easy to operate and can be played from infants to children, is simple in construction and inexpensive, and can be run anywhere on a flat surface so that it can be played.

When the output potential is “High-Low”, the drive motor rotates in the forward direction, the second steering sound wave is at the peak, and the non-output potential “Low-Low” is stopped at the drive motor, and at the third steering sound wave, the output potential is “Low- The drive motor reverses with “High”, the drive motor is stopped and reset at the no-output potential “Low-Low” with the fourth steering sound wave, and it may be configured to operate as one cycle. It is.

  A normal switching semiconductor circuit and a reverse switching semiconductor circuit are connected to one and the other of the specific pin of the integrated circuit body, and one output of the specific pin of the integrated circuit body is connected to both output terminals to the drive motor. When the potential is “High” and the output potential of the other pin is “Low”, the semiconductor of the normal switching semiconductor circuit is conducted, and one output terminal is supplied with “+” and the other output terminal is supplied with “−”. Then, when the drive motor is rotated forward and the output potential of one pin of the next integrated circuit body is “Low” and the output potential of the other pin is “High”, the semiconductor of the reverse switching semiconductor circuit becomes conductive. The one output terminal is set to “−”, the other output terminal is set to “+”, the drive motor is reversed, and the output potential of the one pin of the integrated circuit body is “Low”. Pin output power When There "Low" is intended a driving motor may be sonic steering traveling toy vehicle comprising stop not operate the normal rotation switching semiconductor circuit and reverse switching semiconductor circuit.

  The traveling vehicle is configured by connecting a steering self-propelled vehicle having a driving wheel and a driven wheel, a driven vehicle having a traveling direction conversion wheel and a driven wheel, and is steered by turning the driven wheel when the piloting self-propelled vehicle is running in reverse. The traveling direction of the self-propelled vehicle may be converted.

  Since the operation can use voice, for example, a whistle actually used by a conductor of a transportation facility, it is possible to obtain a sense of realism at the time of actual departure for play.

  Since the operation can be performed only by generating an operation sound, it is simple and can be played by an infant.

  After inputting the switch, the vehicle departs forward at the first peak, stops at the second peak, departs backward at the third peak, and can change direction by connecting the driven vehicle with the traveling direction conversion wheel. It is possible to satisfy the taste by changing the running mode with the configuration.

  Hereinafter, a sound wave steering traveling vehicle toy 1 shown in the drawings as an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The sound wave steering traveling vehicle toy 1 according to the embodiment includes a traveling vehicle 2 and a whistle 3 that generates steering sound waves. 2 is composed of a maneuvering vehicle 2a and a driven vehicle 2b. The steering self-propelled vehicle 2a has a drive wheel 4a and a driven wheel 4b, and the driven vehicle 2b has a traveling direction conversion wheel 5a and a driven wheel 5b.

  In the steering self-propelled vehicle 2a, the drive motor 6 is provided in the carriage 2a1, the worm gear 7a attached to the motor shaft 6a is engaged with the worm wheel 7b attached to the axle 4a1 of the drive wheel 4a, and the drive motor 6 rotates. The drive wheel 4a is decelerated and rotated, and the drive wheel 4a and a driven wheel 4b paired with the drive wheel 4a are provided. Further, the maneuvering self-propelled vehicle 2a includes a coupler 8a that protrudes outwardly on one of the end faces in the traveling direction.

  The driven vehicle 2b is provided with a traveling direction conversion wheel 5a and a driven wheel 5b, and a connector 8b linked to the connector 8a of the steered vehicle 2a is outwardly provided on one end face in the traveling direction. Prepare to protrude.

  As shown by a solid line in FIG. 2, the traveling direction converting wheel 5a of the driven vehicle 2b includes a turning left bearing portion 2b2 and a turning right bearing portion in which the both ends of the axle 5a1 are corresponding peripheral edges of the arrangement hole 2b5. 2b3 is supported by a cover plate 2b4 attached from above, and the upper half of the traveling direction changing wheel 5a is housed in the recessed housing portion of the cover plate 2b4 and is pivotably disposed in the placement hole 2b5. The When the coupler 8b of the driven vehicle 2b is linked with the coupler 8a of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a and coupled to the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a and is pulled by the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a and travels, the traveling direction conversion wheel Since 5a moves to the state parallel to the axle 4a1 of the drive wheel 4a of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a, it travels stably and smoothly in the same direction as the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a.

  Next, when the driving motor 6 of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a is reversely rotated and the driven vehicle 2b is pushed and traveled, the traveling direction converting wheel 5a of the driven vehicle 4b is caused to have the bearing portion 2b2 at one end of the axle 5a1 by the rotational resistance. Since it is configured to be free and can turn, it is not parallel to the axle 4a1 and has an angle. Therefore, the driven vehicle 4b turns in an angled direction, and guides and turns the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a. Therefore, the traveling direction of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a can be converted by reverse rotation, and then the driving motor 6 can be switched to normal rotation so that the piloting vehicle 2b can be driven to pull the driven vehicle 2b. .

  The piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a is equipped with a battery 9, which is equipped with a steering electronic circuit 10 that uses the battery 9 as a power source and receives the steering sound wave of the whistle 3. Similarly, the drive motor 6 equipped in the self-propelled vehicle 2a is switched with the battery 9 and operated as one cycle of normal rotation / stop / reverse rotation / stop.

  The steering electronic circuit 10 is configured as shown in FIG. 4, and when the switch 11 is input and the whistle 3 is blown, an operation sound is input to an EMC (electric condenser microphone) 12 and is converted into an electric signal. The signal is converted and output, amplified by the amplification semiconductor circuits 13 and 14, passed through the filter circuit 15, and the switching semiconductor circuit 16 is operated. The filter circuit 15 is tuned to about 1.4 KHz by a combination of C and L, and is adapted to the sound of the whistle 3.

  Due to the conduction of the switching semiconductor circuit 16, the 14th pin 18 of the integrated circuit body 17 becomes High, and the 2nd pin 19 and the 7th pin 20 output as shown in Table 1.

  As shown in Table 1, the output potential is used, and the second pin 19 and the seventh pin 20 of the integrated circuit body 17 have a normal switching semiconductor circuit 21 and a reverse switching semiconductor circuit 22 as shown in FIG. Connected to the output terminals 23 and 24 of the power battery, and the drive motor 6 is connected to the output terminals 23 and 24 to supply power.

  When the output potential of the second pin 19 of the integrated circuit body 17 is “High” and the output potential of the seventh pin 20 is “Low”, the semiconductor 25, the semiconductor 26, and the semiconductor 27 of the normal switching semiconductor circuit 21 are conductive. Then, the output terminal 23 becomes “+” and the output terminal 24 becomes “−”, and the drive motor 6 is rotated forward. Next, when the output potential of the second pin 19 of the integrated circuit body 17 is “Low” and the output potential of the seventh pin 20 is “High”, the semiconductor 28, the semiconductor 29, and the semiconductor 30 of the reverse switching semiconductor circuit 22. Becomes conductive, the output terminal 23 becomes “−”, the output terminal 24 becomes “+”, and the drive motor 6 is reversed. When the output potential of the second pin 19 of the integrated circuit body 17 is “Low” and the output potential of the seventh pin 20 is “Low”, the normal switching semiconductor circuit 21 and the reverse switching semiconductor circuit 22 are respectively connected. Since the battery 9 of the power source does not conduct because it does not operate, the drive motor 6 stops without being supplied with power.

  The “High” and “Low” potentials are output to the 2nd pin 19 and the 7th pin 20 of the integrated circuit body 17 in the order shown in Table 1. It is configured such that a reset signal is given to the number pin 31 to be reset. It is similarly reset when the switch 11 is turned off.

  The traveling vehicle 2 may be configured as a single maneuvering vehicle 2a without the driven vehicle 2b.

  Since the sonic steering traveling vehicle toy 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, the switch 11 of the steering electronic circuit 10 is turned on, and the drive motor 6 is positive at the first time 1 of the whistle 3. The driven self-propelled vehicle 2a to which the drive motor 6 is disposed pulls the driven vehicle 2b connected thereto and travels forward. Next, at the second time P2, the drive motor 6 stops, and both the steering self-propelled vehicle 2a and the driven vehicle 2b stop. Next, at the third time P3, the drive motor 6 reverses, and when the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a travels by pushing the driven vehicle 2b, in the embodiment, the traveling direction conversion wheel 2b of the driven vehicle 2b As described above, the vehicle turns around the bearing portion 2b2 that supports one end of the axle 5a1 due to the rotational resistance, and is angled with the axle of the driven wheel 5b. And the traveling direction of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a is converted. When the traveling direction of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a is converted into the required angle, the drive motor 6 of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a is stopped at the fourth peak 4, and the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a and the driven vehicle 2b are turned in reverse. Stop driving. The steering electronic circuit 10 is reset at the fourth peak 4. Then, at the first peak 1 of the whistle 3 to be resumed, the drive motor 6 of the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a rotates forward and advances in the direction in which the piloting self-propelled vehicle 2a and the driven vehicle 2b are converted.
