1. Technical Field
The disclosure relates to toys and, more particularly, to a simulated eye for a toy.
2. Description of Related Art
As the development of the electronic technology, more and more robot toys simulate people's actions, such as, walking, jumping, and so on. As known, eyes are one of the most important organs of human body, and people can express various feelings via the actions of the eyes. The eyes of some robot toys simulate human eyes by imitating various shapes of the human eyes. However, some of these simulations are limited to the eyelids opening and closing, and accordingly, other simulation effects of the eyes of the robot toys are needed to make the robot looks more lifelike. Therefore, what is needed is a simulated eye capable of simulating human eyes' actions.
The components of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments of a simulated eye. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
Referring to
Referring to
The transmission assembly 300 includes a circular transmission plate 310 and a substantially Z-shaped transmission shaft 320. A shaft hole 312 is defined in the center of the transmission plate 310, and a through hole 314 is defined near the rim of the transmission plate 310. The transmission shaft 320 includes a first rod 322 and a second rod 324. A connection member 326 joins the first rod 322 to the second rod 324, and an axis of the first rod 322 is parallel to that of the second rod 324. The motor shaft 410 is fixed in the shaft hole 312, and the first rod 322 is fixed in the through hole 314. The second rod 324 is fixed at an inner surface of the eyeball 200. Therefore, the eyeball 200 is coupled to the motor 400 via the transmission assembly 300. In the embodiment, referring to
The housing 100 includes two symmetrical portions 110. A holding member 104 is formed after the two symmetrical portions 100 are assembled together, and the holding member 104 is configured to hold the motor 400.
Referring to
In another embodiment, the first rod 322 is directly fixed in the shaft hole 312. The first rod 322 and the center of the shaft hole 312 are aligned on the axis of the motor shaft 410. Accordingly, the eyeball 200 is directly driven to rotate around the shaft motor 410.
Although the present disclosure has been specifically described on the basis of the embodiments thereof, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited thereto. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure.
