Description

Rolling toy

[Technical Field]

The present invention relates to a rolling toy, and more particularly to a toy that is driven by an electric motor to rotate a wheel within an inflatable ball to cause the inflatable ball to roll.

【Background technique】

Traditional electric toys are driven by wheels or crawler-driven toy bodies. The toy itself can imitate various power mechanisms for various movements, forward, backward, turn, roll, and rise. In the case of traditional wheeled or crawler-type electric toys, they are often blocked by the front obstacles or dropped into the holes, resulting in the inability to advance or damage, or the toys that can be run on land cannot run in the water. Toys running in the water cannot run on land.

The inside of the protective layer further includes a protective inner layer, the motor and the roller 122 are located inside the protective inner layer, and at least one draw tape is disposed between the protective inner layer and the protective layer, and the suction strip is provided on both sides of the pull tape, and is sucked on the outer side of the protective layer and inside the protective layer And fixed with glue. The outer layer of the motor is provided with a protective layer, and the air layer inside the protective layer plays a good buffering role for the collision of the electric toy, thereby prolonging the life of the electric toy. In the utility model patent, the relative position between the inner layer and the protective layer is fixed by the strap, and at least 5 straps are required to have the basic positioning function, and in order to prevent the relative position of the inner layer and the protective layer from being damaged. If the aerator is changed by rolling, the number of the straps must be increased. If the number is too large, the manufacturing cost is considerable.

The outer layer of the inner layer and the inner side of the protective layer are connected by a strap connection, and the suction cup is required to be connected, and the suction cup needs to be glued to protect the inner layer and the protective layer, since the suction cup connects the protective layer and the protective inner layer and the pull belt are both inflated. The inside of the sphere has a certain difficulty in processing and producing the inflatable ball, which increases the complexity of the process and increases the production cost.

【detailed description】

The invention relates to a rolling toy. The invention provides a motor-driven mechanism inside the rolling body, and the rolling of the rolling body is driven by the movement of the motor-driven mechanism, and the horizontal movement of the motor-driven mechanism on the plane is converted into the rolling of the rolling body on the plane, and the design is novel. Unique and interesting.

The present invention is based on the improvement of the utility model patent of the patent publication number CN201227547Y, but has obvious advantages.

The present invention will be further specifically illustrated and described below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

A rolling toy 1 comprising a spherical rolling body 11 comprising a transparent plastic spherical outer layer 111 and a transparent plastic spherical inner layer 112, the cavity surrounded by the spherical inner layer 112 being a cavity 113, The inner cavity 113 is located at the inner center of the spherical rolling body 11, and the cavity between the spherical outer layer 111 and the spherical inner layer 112 is an outer cavity 114, and the inner cavity 113 and the outer cavity 114 are filled with air.

A motor-driven mechanism 12 is disposed in the interior of the inner cavity 113. The motor-driven mechanism 12 includes a body 121 and two rollers 122 connected to the body 121 and driving the body. Two motors for rotating the roller 122, two motor drives And a rechargeable battery (not shown), the driving device includes a remote control signal receiving module for receiving the remote control signal and controlling the working state of the motor, thereby controlling the rotation states of the two rollers 122.

Since the motor-driven mechanism moves in the spherical cavity, in order to ensure that the motor-driven mechanism 12 can continue to operate after being turned over, the height of the two rollers 122 must be higher than that of the body, that is, when the motor-driven mechanism 12 is turned over, the body does not obstruct the roller. The rotation of 122.

The motor-driven mechanism 12 is disposed at the bottom of the spherical inner layer 112, and is supported by the bottom of the spherical inner layer 112. The two rollers 122 are in contact with the inner wall of the spherical inner layer 112. The two rollers 122 are different under the driving of the motor. In the rotating state, the motor-driven mechanism 12 can be controlled to perform different motion states such as forward, backward, left-turn, and right-turn, thereby driving the spherical rolling bodies 11 to perform different rolling states such as forward, backward, left-turn, and right-turn.

The spherical inner layer 112 is fixed to the inner center of the rolling body 11 by six inflatable columns 115, and the six inflatable columns 115 are evenly distributed in the outer cavity 114 inside the rolling body 11, each of the inflatable columns 115. The ports at both ends are respectively closely connected to the inner wall of the spherical outer layer 111 and the outer wall of the spherical outer layer 111. The spherical inner layer 112 is provided with a through hole 116 to communicate with the inflatable column 115, and the through hole 116 is passed through the through hole 116. The inflatable column 115 can be inflated while inflating the spherical inner layer 112.

A first inflation hole 117 for inflating the outer cavity 114 is disposed on the spherical outer layer 111, and the first inflation hole 11 7 may be disposed at any position on the spherical outer layer 111 that does not communicate with the inflatable column 115. A second inflation hole 118 for inflating the inner chamber 113 is provided at a port connection of the spherical outer layer 111 and the inflatable column 115, and the inflation hole communicates with any of the inflatable columns 115.

A charging hole 119 for charging the motor-driven mechanism 12 is further disposed on the spherical outer layer 111. The charging probe charges the motor-driven mechanism 12 through the charging hole 119 and the through hole 116. The charging hole 119 is opened in the charging hole 119.

The inner cavity 113 is inflated by the first inflation hole 114 and the second inflation hole. After the gas is filled, the spherical rolling toy can be controlled by the remote controller to perform various actions.

In order to increase the frictional force, the outer wall of the spherical outer layer 111 and the inner wall of the spherical inner layer 112 may be arranged as a rough surface, so that it is convenient to control and control the spherical toy to quickly complete various action switching, and the manipulation is more flexible. .

The transparent plastic is used as the spherical outer layer 111 of the rolling element, so that it has a very good waterproof effect, and can roll on land and water at the same time, and since the spherical outer layer 111 of the transparent plastic is light in weight, even if it is bulky, It also does not hinder the driving action of the motor-driven mechanism 12 on the rolling element, and after the outer cavity 114 and the inner cavity 113 are filled with gas, the weight of the rolling body is much lighter than that of the wheel of the same diameter, and the larger the diameter, the easier it is to overcome the obstacle. Therefore, the rolling body of the invention can easily cross the obstacle under the driving of a small power mechanism, without human intervention, the control is more convenient and the fun is added.
