Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an automatically transforming robot toy that automatically transforms from a running toy to a robot toy, and particularly relates to technology for automatically transforming by sensing infrared rays.

(Karesama of 2fin) There are robot toys that are of interest to young children.
Recently, among robot toys, there has been a tendency to show interest in so-called transforming robot toys, in which the arms and legs are bendable, and the folded shape fm becomes another shape 7g. Many of these transforming robot toys transform from running toys such as cars into robot toys.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in such a transforming robot toy, each part (for example, an arm or a leg) is individually changed in shape from the running state A of a car, etc., and transformed into a robot toy. Because of this, there was a problem in that the robot-like character of the transformation robot/toy JJ (i.e., the robot-like character that automatically transforms from a running toy to a robot toy) could not be realistically expressed. Ta. Also, the shape of the toy mentioned above
Once the order of E changes was elucidated, there was a problem in that the interest in the toy inevitably waned and the toy itself became boring.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is that by sensing infrared rays, it is possible to make a unique automatic transformation, and therefore it is possible to realistically express the characteristics of a robot as a robot toy, and to create an interesting robot. The purpose is to provide an extremely interesting self-transforming robot toy.

23e) are pulled out in the left-right direction (see the arrows in the figure) from both sides of the landing gear (23) (see the broken line G in the figure) to form the tail, and the pair of left and right wing parts (23c) and (23c) are It can be played with as a jet engine by transforming into a toy airplane, and can also be played with as a beam machine gun thanks to the infrared radiation device built into the toy.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, when you activate the switch on the first tank running toy (1),
The double-shaft motor (7) in the toy (1) operates to operate the caster wheels (10) via the first power transmission section (8) to perform mystery running as the tank traveling toy 14 (1). At the same time, the second power transmission section (9) is operated, but this second power transmission section (9)
1) It is not involved in the running of the tank itself, therefore it is a tank running toy (1
), only mystery running is performed using the caster wheels (10) via the first power transmission section (8).

Next, in the mystery running state, the machine gun toy (22) mentioned above has its muzzle (23F)
j Infrared sensing sensor (2) of the turret (4) of the traveling toy (1)
When the infrared rays are emitted toward 0a), the control device (19)
The infrared detecting section (20) of the infrared rays detected by the sensor (20a) is called the infrared rays. The f-wave is converted into an electrical signal and this signal is output to the drive circuit (21). Based on this output signal, the drive circuit (21) operates the power section (
The double-shaft motor (7) of 5) is reversely rotated as shown by arrow E in FIG.
Rotate it as shown by arrow A in the figure.

While standing up as shown, connect the connecting member (18) and the front shaft (1B).
Hold the left and right front caterpillars (3a) and (3a) through the handles and lower them. In this way, the running tank toy (1) has a crew n compartment (2
), turret (4) and forward caterpillar (3a), (3a)
To make children suddenly stand up, arousing wonder and great curiosity in children.

Next, from the state shown in FIG. 6, the gears of the gear train (11) mesh with the tooth surfaces of the sector gear (14), thereby moving the crew compartment (2) and the turret (4) into the state shown in FIG. Stand it up as shown in the external view, and attach the connecting member (
14) is connected to the front caterpillar via the engagement member (17) of the member (14), the front shaft (16), the cam members (18b), (16b), and the link member (see Fig. 2) (21a). (3a), (3a) is raised and the flamethrower (2a) is made to protrude. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the running tank toy (1) has the crew ffi chamber (2) as the body of the robot toy, as shown in the external view of FIG. 7, and the rear caterpillar (3b), ( 3b) as legs, the front caterpillars (3a) and (3a) as arms, and the flamethrower (2a) as a head, which automatically transforms into a robot toy (25).
wheels (12) of the gear system (Ila) of the power transmission unit (9);
(12) causes the robot toy (5) to run.

In addition, when the automatically transformed robot toy (25) senses infrared rays by the infrared radiation device described above, the control device (1
Under the control of 9), it automatically transforms into the tank running toy (1) again.

In this way, the tank running toy (1) operates by sensing the infrared rays by the internal control device (19).
), it is possible to automatically transform into a robot toy (25), and it is also possible to realistically and realistically express the robot-like character of a robot toy (25) through automatic shape change. etc., and allows the user to enjoy the fun.

(Effects of IJ1) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, by sensing infrared rays, it is possible to perform a unique automatic transformation, thus realistically expressing the robot-like characteristics of a robot toy. It has many effects such as being highly interesting and extremely entertaining.
