Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, an embodiment of the steerable wall climbing toy of the present invention includes a main body unit 1, a moving unit 2, an adsorption unit 3, an air valve unit 4, and a driving unit 5.

The main body unit 1 includes a body 11, and a mold member 12 detachably assembled to the body 11. The body 11 has two shells 111 that are aligned with each other and define a chamber 110 (see fig. 5). In this embodiment, the shape 12 is combined with the body 11 to form an animal shape.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, the moving unit 2 includes four moving members 21, two direction-changing members 22, and an operating member 23.

The two moving members 21 are arranged on two sides of the body 11 along a width direction X of the body 11, and each moving member 21 has a crank portion 211 and a foot portion 212 connected to the crank portion 211. The crank portion 211 has a penetration section 213 formed at one side. One end of the leg portion 212 is spaced apart from a maximum radial width portion of the body 11 in the width direction X by a span.

The direction changing member 22 is mounted on the body 11 to be displaceable in the width direction X with a gap therebetween. Each of the direction changers 22 is displaceable in the width direction X relative to the body 11 between a forward position (see fig. 4) and a turning position (see fig. 7 and 8), and has a rail groove 221 extending in a length direction Y of the body 11 and two engaging grooves 222 spaced apart from each other in the length direction Y. Each track groove 221 has an arc-shaped segment 223 and an offset segment 224 connecting the arc-shaped segments 223 and extending along the length direction Y. Each slot 222 is used for the insertion section 213 of the corresponding moving member 21 to be detachably inserted, and is in contact with the insertion section 213.

When each of the reversing members 22 is located at the forward moving position, the reversing members 22 are separated by a maximum gap T, the foot portions 212 of the two moving members 21, which are disposed on the same side of the body 11 as the corresponding reversing member 22, are separated by a minimum distance D from the body 11 (see fig. 4), when one of the reversing members 22 is located at the turning position, the one of the reversing members 22 is separated by a minimum gap T adjacent to the other reversing member 22 (see fig. 7 and 8), and the two moving members 21, which are disposed on the same side of the body 11 as the one of the reversing members 22, can be separated by a maximum distance D from the body 11 during operation (see fig. 7 and 8).

The suction cup 311 is used for exhausting air during deformation, forming a vacuum state between the suction cup and a plane to be sucked on the plane, and separating from the plane after the vacuum state is broken. In this embodiment, the plane is a wall surface.

Referring to fig. 2 and 6, the air valve unit 4 is installed in the body and includes two valve groups 41 spaced apart by a distance in a length direction Y of the body 11, and a four connection pipe 42.

Each valve block 41 has a valve seat 411, two valve members 412, and two elastic members 413. The valve seat 411 has two valve ports 414 and two ports 415. Each valve element 412 releasably closes each valve port 414 and releases ambient gas into the valve seat 411 when disengaged from the valve port 414. Each elastic element 413 is disposed between the respective valve element 412 and the valve seat 411, and is configured to constantly generate a biasing force that causes the respective valve element 412 to close the respective valve port 414.

Each adapter 42 connects each interface 415 with the suction cup holder 312 of each suction cup group 31, and is communicated with the suction cup 311.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 5, the driving unit 5 is disposed in the chamber 110 of the body 11 and includes four driven wheel sets 51, a motor 52, a transmission wheel set 53 for transmitting power of the motor 52 to the driven wheel set 51, and four transmission wheel shafts 54.

Each driven wheel set 51 has two driven wheels 511 spaced apart by a distance in a height direction Z of the body 11, and two pivots 512. Each pivot 512 is pivoted to the crank portion 211 of the corresponding moving member 21 and the corresponding driven wheel 511, so that each driven wheel set 51 is connected to the crank portion 211 of the corresponding moving member 21.

The motor 52 has a worm 520, and a driving wheel 521 engaged with the worm 520 and transmitting power in a reverse direction.

The driving wheel set 53 has a plurality of driving wheels 531 arranged in a row along the length direction Y and engaged with each other, one of the driving wheels 531 is engaged with the driving wheel 521, and the two driving wheels 531 at the head and the tail are engaged with the two driven wheels 511 of the two corresponding driven wheel sets 51.

Each transmission wheel shaft 54 is connected with the two driven wheels 511 of the corresponding two driven wheel sets 51, and has two pushing portions 541 formed on the circumferential surface and separated by an included angle, and each pushing portion 541 is used for pushing one valve element 412 of the corresponding valve set 41 to be separated from the respective valve port 414.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the following description of the directions is made with the direction of the molding 12 of the main unit 1 as the front, the direction opposite to the molding 12 as the rear, the direction of the operation member 23 as the upper, the direction of the suction cup 311 as the lower, the right-hand direction of fig. 6 as the right side, and the left-hand direction of fig. 6 as the left side.

Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 6, when the motor 52 transmits power to the two driven wheel sets 51 through the meshing relationship between the driving wheel 521, the driving wheel 531 and the two driven wheel sets 51, the driving wheel 511 of the driven wheel set 51 can be synchronously driven to rotate through the connection relationship between the driving wheel shaft 54 and the two driven wheels 511 of the two driven wheel sets 51, and the crank portion 211 of the moving member 21 is synchronously driven, so that the foot portion 212 of the moving member 21 is displaced along the height direction Z and the length direction Y. Therefore, the actions of lifting feet and striding of the animal are simulated.

It should be noted that the connection angle between the driven wheel 511 of each driven wheel set 51 and the corresponding crank portion 211 determines the timing of displacement of each moving element 21 along the height direction Z and along the length direction Y, so that the moving elements 21 at the front left and the rear right and the moving elements 21 at the front right and the rear left are designed to be different by 180 degrees when connected to the corresponding driven wheel set 51, and therefore, a mode of synchronizing the moving elements 21 at the front left and the rear right and synchronizing the moving elements 21 at the front right and the rear left and interacting with each other up and down is presented. Therefore, when the two moving members 21 drive the suction cup 311 to tread down on the plane, the suction cup 311 deforms due to being pressed, exhausts air during deformation, and forms a vacuum state with the plane to be sucked on the plane.

Then, as the transmission wheel shaft 54 and the driven wheel 511 rotate synchronously, the transmission wheel shaft 54 pushes the valve 412 of the corresponding valve group 41 back and forth to separate from the respective valve ports 414 due to the time difference of the included angle, and the corresponding suction cup 311 is communicated with the outside through the connection pipe 42, so as to break the vacuum state of the corresponding suction cup 311, whereby the other two moving members 21 can drive the suction cup 311 to separate from the plane, and the actions of lifting the foot upwards and stepping forwards are presented.

Referring to fig. 4, at this time, if the direction-changing members 22 are located at the forward positions respectively, during the process that each moving member 21 moves downward or upward along the height direction Z, the penetrating section 213 just passes through the corresponding slot 222 of the direction-changing member 22 smoothly and is not squeezed by the direction-changing member 22, so that the moving member 21 drives the whole body to move along the length direction Y without turning.

Referring to fig. 5, 6, 7 and 8, when the operating member 23 is operated to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, the protrusion 231 of the operating member 23 will move along the track groove 221 of the direction-changing member 22 due to the change of the angle until the protrusion 231 is located at the offset section 224 of the track groove 221 of one of the direction-changing members 22 and located at the arc section 223 of the track groove 221 of the other one of the direction-changing members 22, and the direction-changing member 22 with the offset section 224 and the corresponding protrusion 231 abutting against each other will be pushed by the corresponding protrusion 231 and move to the direction-changing position along the width direction X.

Taking the operation element 23 rotating in the counterclockwise direction to the left and the right direction-changing member 22 moving to the direction-changing position as an example, the moving element 21 located at the right rear will pass through the passing section 213 into the corresponding slot 222 of the direction-changing member 22 during the downward movement along the height direction Z, at this time, because the slot 222 of the corresponding direction-changing member 22 has shifted, the passing section 213 of the moving element 21 located at the right rear will be pressed by the corresponding slot 222 and swing toward the main body 11, and at the same time, the connected leg 212 will swing in the direction opposite to the main body 11 and be separated from the main body 11 by the maximum span D, until the respective suction cups 311 are adsorbed on the plane by the maximum span D, and during the upward movement of the right rear moving element 21 along the height direction Z, the passing section 213 will be separated from the corresponding direction-changing member 22, the right rear moving member 21 will not be pressed by the direction-changing member 22, and therefore, before the suction cup 311 is separated from the plane, it will retract to the original position, and is separated from the main body 11 by the minimum distance d (as shown in fig. 4), and the whole will be driven to deflect to the left.

Then, the moving member 21 located at the front right will be displaced downward along the height direction Z and will not be pressed by the direction-changing member 22 because the penetrating section 213 is separated from the corresponding slot 222 of the direction-changing member 22 during the process of sucking the plane by the respective sucking discs, so that the moving member 21 located at the front right will be separated from the body 11 by the minimum distance d (as shown in fig. 4) when sucking the plane, and then the moving member 21 located at the front right will be inserted into the corresponding slot 222 of the direction-changing member 22 during the process of displacing the moving member 21 along the height direction Z with the penetrating section 213, and because the corresponding slot 222 of the direction-changing member 22 has been displaced, the penetrating section 213 located at the front right will also be pressed by the corresponding slot 222 to deflect towards the body 11, and at the same time the connected leg 212 will deflect towards the direction of the body 11, and is separated from the body 11 by the maximum span D, and drives the whole body to further deflect leftwards, and then the suction cup 311 on the moving member 21 at the front right is separated from the plane. Therefore, the wall climbing toy can always move towards the left.

It should be noted that, when the operating element 23 rotates in the counterclockwise direction to the left and the reversing element 22 on the right is displaced to the turning position, the moving element 21 on the front left and the rear left can smoothly pass through the slot 222 of the corresponding reversing element 22 because the penetrating segment 213 is not pressed by the corresponding reversing element 22, and the span between the moving element 21 and the main body 11 is not changed.

From the above description, the advantages of the foregoing embodiments can be summarized as follows:

1. the present invention is easier to assemble, and the assembly can be completed by connecting the adapter tube 42 to the interface 415 and the suction cup 311, so that the operation can be started. As for the modeling part, more than one modeling piece 12 can be assembled according to originality, thereby achieving the effects of decoration and modeling.

2. Importantly, the invention can move forwards on the wall surface, and can adjust the span D of the moving part 21 by utilizing the change of the position of the reversing part 22 to turn left or right, thereby improving the simulation effect when climbing the wall and the fun when playing games.

The above description is only an example of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should not be limited thereby, and the invention is still within the scope of the present invention by simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the contents of the specification.
