The present disclosure relates to the field of adult toy, and in particular, to an adult toy having flexible structure and a method for controlling the flexible adult toy.
Masturbation is generally referred to as a natural and safe way to explore one's body i.e. stimulation of genital organs to obtain sexual pleasure. People use adult toys for exploring one's body (irrespective of gender) to attain sexual pleasure. Adult toys are objects or devices that are primarily used to facilitate human sexual pleasure and typically to date have been designed to resemble human genitals for providing sexual pleasure to users, albeit perhaps in an abstracted form at times.
Due to individual differences, the users often require adult toys to have different degrees of curvature for optimal stimulation. Therefore, manufacturers are providing adult toys with different degrees of curvature and/or shapes to meet the diverse needs.

In the present embodiment, when the first linear driver 1 is running, the reciprocal linear motion of the first pushing rod 8 is converted into a rotary movement of the second body 120 via the connecting part 3. In the embodiment shown in
In some embodiments, when a user is using the flexible adult toy, one end of the flexible adult toy, e.g., the remote end of the second body 120, can be inserted into the user's body, and the end can be rotated by the first linear driver 1. Therefore, with the operation of the stimulating structure 11, the flexible adult toy may provide stimulating to the user at various orientations. Moreover, according to some embodiments, the second body 120 can be rotated to a predetermined orientation, and remains in that orientation, such that stimulating to a particular spot of the user can be provided by the stimulating structure 11 of the flexible adult toy.
As shown in
In the present embodiment, when the second linear driver 1 is running, the reciprocal linear motion of the first pushing rod 8 is converted into a rotary movement of the second sub body 122 via the connecting part 3. In the embodiment shown in
According to an embodiment, the first and second linear drivers 1 are controlled by the controller 4. In particular, the first and second linear drivers 1 may be controlled independently to form a particular shape of the adult toy. Also, in one embodiment, the first and second linear drivers 1 may be associated such that the first sub body 121 and the second sub body 122 may perform coordinated rotating according to the controller 4.
For example, the flexible adult toy may further include a sensor (not shown in the drawings) configured to detect the reciprocal linear movement of the first pushing rod 8, and the controller 4 may be further configured to control the operation of the first linear driver 1 according to detecting information of the sensor. For example, with the sensor, the linear movement of the first pushing rod 8 can be detected and thus the bending angle of the flexible adult toy can be determined, therefore, the controller 4 can further control the first liner driver 1 to move the first pushing rod 8 forward to increase the bending angle or backward to reduce the bending angle. In particular, although not shown in the drawings, those of ordinary skill in the art will realize that the sensor can be disposed close to the first pushing rod 8 to detect the reciprocal linear movement thereof. The sensor can be any sensor capable of sensing movement, such as a Hall sensor based on magnetic sensing.
In this embodiment, the sensor detects the reciprocal linear movement of the first pushing rod 8, determines the position of the first pushing rod 8. The bending angle of the second body (in particular the first sub body 121) can be determined according to the position of the first pushing rod 8. The sensed information can be provided to the controller 4, and the controller 4 further controls the second liner driver 1 according to the information, to drive the second pushing rod 8 of the second linear driver 1 to move to a certain position. Therefore, the second sub body 122 can bend to a particular angle relative to the first sub body 121 adaptable to the bending angle of the first sub body 121 relative to the first body 110. Accordingly, coordinated rotating of the sub bodies of the second body 120 can be achieved.
In the embodiment, referring to
In this embodiment, the first body 110 includes a housing 10, a fixing member 20 and a pin 16. A through hole 17 is disposed on the fixing member 20, and the first linear driver 1 is fixed to the housing 10 by the through hole 17 of the fixing member 20 and the pin 16, such that the first linear driver 1 is fixed in the housing 10.

In this embodiment, the through hole 19 may be fixedly connected to the pin.
The second pivot mount may include a through hole 21 disposed on the first body 110, a through hole 15 disposed on the first connecting part 3 corresponding to the through hole 21 of the housing 10, and a pin 14 inserted into the through hole 21 and the through hole 15, a relative movement can occur between the through hole 15 and the pin 14, such that the second pivot mount is formed to connect the first connecting part 3 and the housing 10. In this embodiment, the through hole 21 may be fixedly connected to the pin 14.
In this embodiment, when the first linear driver 1 operates, the first pushing rod 8 of the first linear driver reciprocates linearly in different directions along an axis of the first linear driver 1, and the reciprocating linear movement of the first pushing rod 8 resulting in constantly changing pressure on the pin which connects the first linear driver 1 and the first connecting part 3 of which one end is fixedly connected to the second body 120, thereby resulting in a rotation of the pin. Further, the rotary motion of the pin which connects the first linear driver 1 and the connecting part 3 of which one end is fixedly connected to the second body 120 resulting in the rotary motion of the second body 120.
That is, the linear movement generated by the first linear driver 1 is converted into a rotary movement of the second body 120 via the connecting part 3 (e.g., the pin and the through hole) when the first linear driver 1 is running, such that the flexible adult toy bends according to a set angle.
The second linear driver 1 and the second connecting part 3 may have similar structures as the first linear driver 1 and the first connecting part 3, and correspondingly, the linear movement generated by the second linear driver 1 is converted into a rotary movement of the second sub body 122 via the second connecting part 3 (e.g., the pin and the through hole) when the second linear driver 1 is running, such that the flexible adult toy bends according to a set angle. Detailed description of the second linear driver 1 and the second connecting part 3 will be omitted for brevity, and corresponding details may refer to the corresponding description on the first linear driver 1 and the first connecting part 3.
In the embodiment, the controller 4 may include a control button to control the operation of the adult toy. For example, the control button 12 may be configured to control the operation of the first linear driver 1, the second linear driver 1 and the stimulation structure 11. Also, the control button 12 may be configured to control other functions of the adult toy (e.g., switching different vibration pattern or vibration intensity of the stimulation structure 11).
In the embodiment shown in

Threads (not shown in the drawings) are disposed on the screw 6, and the inner side of the moving tube 7 facing the screw 6 includes threads engaged to the threads (not shown in the drawings) of the screw 6. Accordingly, when the screw 6 reciprocates in different directions, the moving tube 7 reciprocates linearly in different directions along the screw 6. The first pushing rod 8 is disposed on the moving tube 7, when the moving tube 7 performs reciprocating linearly motion, the moving tube 7 drives the first pushing rod 8 to reciprocate linearly.

Also, some adjacent parts may be connected by a fixed connecting part, such that the sub bodies may rotate together. Moreover, some adjacent bodies may be connected by a rotary driving part, such that one of the adjacent bodies may be rotatable around an axis along an extending direction of the adult toy.
Referring to

The stimulating structure 11 is connected to the third sub body, and therefore is rotatable along with the third sub body around an axis along an extending direction of the adult toy. Moreover, although two sub bodies are described in these embodiment, it should be noted that the number of the sub bodies are not limited by two. For example, more sub bodies can be provided an in which the n-th sub body and (n+1) sub body among these sub bodies can be arranged to have the structure discussed with reference to the second sub body and the third sub body. When the number of sub bodies increases, the length of the flexible adult toy can be increased, and moreover the bending angle of the flexible adult toy can also be increased.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the stimulating structure 11 may include stimulating structure includes at least one of a vibrating module, a swelling module, a sucking module, a rotating module and a heating module. When the stimulating structure 11 is moving along with the second body 120, the stimulating structure 11 may be placed at the desired position and apply pressure and/or friction to the human body, also, the stimulating structure 11 may also apply stimulation such as vibrating, swelling pressure, sucking, rotating friction and heat to the human body with the above modules. Other stimulating structures are also applicable according to the teaches of the present disclosure. The operation of the stimulation structure 11, e.g., action pattern or operating intensity, may be controlled by the control button 12. For example, by pressing the control button 12, the stimulation structure 11 may switch from one vibration pattern to another one, or may switching from vibration action to rotating action, or other action patterns. In some embodiments, the operating of the stimulation structure 11 may be controlled by the control button 12 independently from the swing movement of the second body 120.
