Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable original unexpected changes to be enjoyed by permitting a sensor and drive mechanism to be operated for operating an operative body when an operation changing object senses any changes in physical amount of photo and audio sensors. CONSTITUTION:An operation changing object A is provided with a base body 1 shaped into a flower pot-like form for example, an operative body 2 having an artificial flower-like appearance and a plant-like decorative member 3 having flowers, leaves, etc. A drive mechanism (a) operated in response to physical amounts sensed by audio and photo sensors (m) is interlocked with the operative body 2. Thus, when the audiosensor (m) senses a predetermined amount of sound, a motor 5 of the drive mechanism (a) is operated to rotate a gear 14 while raising a rack 22 so that the operative body 2 provided on the rack 22 is protruded above the decorative member 3. Thus, flowers (of the operative body 2) are operated as if they grow up, while a fun in surprise and change can be enjoyed. The gear 14 is reversed by the contraction of a elastic member 23 along with the stop of the motor 5, so that the operative body 2 is again put into the basic body 1.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an actuated variable object in which a flowerpot-shaped object in daily living space operates and changes in response to external factors such as sound and light. It is.

(Prior Art and Purpose of the Invention) Generally, there is a fixed idea that flowerpots are immovable.

An object of the present invention is to propose an actuated variable object that can make an object that gives an image of a static idea in daily life move in response to changes in physical conditions such as sound and light.

(Means for Achieving the Object) As a means for achieving the above object, the actuation variant according to the present invention is characterized by having the following requirements.

(a) Having a flowerpot-shaped base.

(b) An actuating body having a specific appearance of an animal, a plant, etc. is provided on the upper part of the base body, and the actuating body is covered with a plant-like decorative member having flowers, leaves, etc.

(c) The operating body is linked to a drive mechanism that operates in response to the detection of a physical quantity by a sensor such as sound or light.

(d) The actuating body is formed so as to appear outside the decorative member by actuation of the drive mechanism.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) As described above, the actuated variable object according to the present invention exists statically in the living space, but when the sensor senses a change in the physical quantity of the light or sound sensor, the sensor acts, The drive mechanism is activated and the actuating body is activated, so for example, while watching a TV program, the sound sensor detects the sound due to a change in the volume during the program, and the actuating body suddenly activates and pops out from inside the decorative member. You can enjoy the strange and unexpected changes that appear.

(Example) The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1(a) (bl shows an example of the operational variant A.

This actuation variant A includes a base 1 formed in the shape of a flowerpot, and an actuation body 2 provided on the top of the base 1 and having an appearance like an artificial flower.
and a plant-like decorative member 3 having flowers, leaves, etc. that covers a part of the operating body 2.

The operating body 2 is linked with a drive mechanism a that operates in response to the detection of a physical quantity such as sound or light by a sensor m. and,
The above-mentioned actuating body 2 is activated by the above-mentioned driving mechanism a to move the decorative member 3 to the decorative member 3.
It is formed so that it appears on the outside of the

That is, the drive mechanism a includes a motor 5, a gear 14 meshed with a gear 6 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5, and the gear 14.
and a rack 22 meshed with the rack 22. A flower-shaped operating body 2 is attached to the tip of the rack 22. 23 indicates an elastic member. The elastic member 23 is wound around the upper part of the rack 22, and has one end fixed to the tip of the rack 22 and the other end fixed to the base body 1. As a result, the rack 22 is always urged to be pulled back downward.

Motor 5, sound sensor m, power supply section 10, main switch 1
1 are electrically connected as shown in FIG.

In the above configuration, when the sound sensor m detects a predetermined volume, the motor 5 of the drive mechanism a is activated to rotate the gear 14 and move the rack 22 upward, thereby decorating the operating body 2 provided on the rack 22. It is made to protrude above the member 3. As a result, it is possible to obtain an action in which the flower (actuating body 2) appears to be growing, and to enjoy the surprise and fascination of change.

Note that when the motor 5 stops, the gear 14 is moved from the elastic member 2.
3 rotates in the opposite direction, the rack 22 descends, and the actuating body 2 sinks into the base body 1 again.

In addition, FIGS. 3(a), (b) (cl) are configurations of the actuating bodies 2 as dinosaurs, Frankensteins, and snakes, respectively, and these actuating bodies 2.2... a) Drive mechanism similar to (b) (not shown)
It is provided so that it can freely protrude and retract from the base body 1. In this case as well, an object with an unexpected appearance emerges from the flowerpot, providing surprise and interest in change.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 above, the actuating body 2
It may be configured such that a predetermined sound or voice is generated in the process of protruding from the base 1. In this case, a voice synthesis IC (not shown) may be installed in front of the motor 5 in the electrical circuit diagram shown in FIG. Just by incorporating it, the purpose will be achieved.

Next, FIG. 4 (al (b)) shows another embodiment of the actuating variant A. In this actuating variant A, the base 1 is formed into a flower pot, and the actuator 2 is provided on the base 1. It is configured as a doll that can appear and appear from the decorative member 3.
The actuating body 2 is placed on the upper support plate 25a of the pantograph mechanism 25 provided in the base body 1 with a gap therebetween via elastic members 26,26. Further, a motor 5 is installed inside the operating body 2, and a cam 28 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5. As a result, the cam 28 comes into contact with the support plate 25a during rotation, and the cam 28 comes into contact with the support plate 25a.
The actuating body 2, which is arranged above via an elastic member 26, 26, can be swung.

A rack 29 is fixed to one side of the pantograph mechanism 25, and a gear 30 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 27 is meshed with the rack 29. As a result, the rack 2 is rotated by the rotation of the gear 30 that is interlocked with the motor 27.
9 can be raised to extend the bank graph mechanism 25. As the motor 27 stops, the puncture graph mechanism 25 contracts due to the weight of the actuating body 2, and the actuating body 2 descends.

In the above configuration, when the actuating variable object A detects a predetermined external sound volume with the sound sensor m,
rotates, and a cam 28 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5 causes the actuating body 2 to swing up and down. Next, in this state, the motor 27 of the drive mechanism a rotates to move the rack 29 upward, thereby extending the pantograph mechanism 25 and allowing the actuating body 2 formed into a doll to protrude from the base body 1.

Note that a speaker 31 is provided at an appropriate position on the actuating body 2, and as the actuating body 2 rises, a predetermined sound or voice is generated from the speaker 31, thereby making it possible to enjoy the surprise and the fun of change even more. .

The drive circuit for the motor 5.27 and the speaker 31 in the above configuration may be as shown in FIG.
