Abstract

The present Utility Model is proposed to provide a flower blooming simulative toy flower, including flower petal and base, a micro-motor and a PCB board is fixed within the base, the micro-motor is electrically connected with the PCB board, the flower petal is fixed up to the flower petal clamp, the flower petal clamp is hinge connected with a end of rigid push-pull rod, and the other end of rigid push-pull rod is co-motional with the output shaft of said micro-motor via a driving unit. The present Utility Model applies a linear micro-motor brought along by the shape memory alloy movement drives the flower petal to open/close. The opening & closing speed and angle of flower petal are controlled precisely by the central processor, the speed and angle could be set to various coordination state, the opening speed of flower petal may fast or slow, the opening angle may be large or small and may be positioned at all times, it is thus more flexible and vividly compared with the current toys controlled by micro-motor and reset by mechanism. The present Utility Model is of low manufacturing cost, compact size, low selling price & noise, and a higher movement controllability. According to the present Utility Model, the actions of grass, leaf or other plant could also be simulated with the same verisimilitude.

Claims

1. A flower blooming simulative toy flower, including flower petal and base, characterized in that:

a micro-motor and a PCB board is fixed within the base, the micro-motor is electrically connected with the PCB board, the flower petal is fixed up to the flower petal clamp, the flower petal clamp is hinge connected with a end of rigid push-pull rod, and the other end of rigid push-pull rod is co-motional with the output shaft of said micro-motor via a driving unit.

2. The simulative toy flower according to claim 1, characterized in that:

the said micro-motor is a linear micro-motor driven by the shape memory alloy.

3. The simulative toy flower according to claim 1, characterized in that:
