Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sound-controlled structure, and more particularly to a sound-controlled structure connectable to a portable multimedia player, so that the sound-controlled structure is continuously activated to act when the portable multimedia player operates to thereby create more fun.
  • a conventional sound-controlled toy includes a covering, an actuating unit provided in the covering, a sensing unit located on an outer side of the covering and electrically connected to the actuating unit, and a battery electrically connected to the actuating unit.
  • the sensing unit receives an external sound signal
  • the actuating unit is enabled to drive the covering to act in response to the sound signal. That is, the sound-controlled toy is controlled by sound to act.
  • the sound-controlled toy Since the sound-controlled toy is powered by a battery that can only provide limited power for the sound-controlled toy to act, it is impossible for the sound-controlled toy to continuously act for a long period of time. Even if a transformer may be used to provide the required power supply, the sound-controlled toy also relies on an external sound.
  • the sensing unit of the sound-controlled toy can only sense a relatively intense external sound signal to actuate the toy. In the event the intensity of the external sound signal is weak or unstable, the sensing unit will only receive an intermittent sound signal. Under this circumstance, the sound-controlled toy will act dully or discontinuously without the ability of attracting children.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a sound-controlled structure connectable to a portable multimedia player, so that the sound-controlled structure continuously acts in response to sound output by the multimedia player to create more fun.
  • the sound-controlled structure of the present invention includes a sound-controlled mechanism having a covering, an actuating unit provided in the covering, a sensing unit located on an outer side of the covering and electrically connected to the actuating unit, and a power transmission unit electrically connected at a first end to the actuating unit; a container connected to the covering of the sound-controlled mechanism with a second end of the power transmission unit extended into the container; and a connecting mechanism received in the container. At least one receiving slot is provided on one side of the connecting mechanism, and a processing unit is provided in the connecting mechanism.
  • the processing unit is electrically connected to a connector arranged in the receiving slot, a power cord, a jack for the second end of the power transmission unit to plug in, a display unit provided on another side of the connecting mechanism, and two speakers located at two lateral sides of the connecting mechanism.
  • Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a sound-controlled structure according to an embodiment of the present invention
  • Fig. 2 is an assembled perspective view of Fig. 1 ;
  • Fig. 3 shows the connection of a portable multimedia player to the sound-controlled structure of the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 shows the sound-controlled structure of the present invention is activated when the portable multimedia player operates.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 are exploded and assembled perspective views, respectively, of a sound-controlled structure connectable to a multimedia player according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the sound-controlled structure includes a sound-controlled mechanism (1), a container (2), and a connecting mechanism (3).
  • the sound-controlled mechanism (1) includes a covering (11), an actuating unit (12) located in the covering (11), a sensing unit (13) located on an outer side of the covering (11) and electrically connected to the actuating unit (12), and a power transmission unit (14) electrically connected at a first end to the actuating unit (12).
  • the covering (1) may be configured as an animal, a character, a plant, or a geometrical figure.
  • the container (2) is connected to the covering (11) of the sound-controlled mechanism (1) with a second end of the power transmission unit (14) extended into the container (2).
  • a window (21) is formed on one surface of the container (2).
  • two openings (22) are separately formed on two lateral surfaces of the container (2).
  • the connecting mechanism (3) is positioned in the container (2). At least one receiving slot (31) is provided on one side, such as a top side, of the connecting mechanism (3), and a processing unit (32) is provided in the connecting mechanism (3).
  • the processing unit (32) is electrically connected to a connector (33) arranged in the receiving slot (31), a power cord (34), a jack (35) for the second end of the power transmission unit (14) to plug in, a display unit (36) provided on one side, such as a front side, of the connecting mechanism (3) corresponding to the window (21) on the container (2), and two speakers (37) located at, for example, two lateral sides of the connecting mechanism (3) corresponding to the two openings (22) on the container (2).
  • Figs. 3 and 4 To actuate the sound-controlled structure of the present invention, first plug the second end of the power transmission unit (14) into the jack (35) of the connecting mechanism (3), and connect the power cord (34) of the connecting mechanism (3) to an indoor power socket (not shown), so that electric power is supplied to the sound-controlled mechanism (1) and the connecting mechanism (3). Then, put a portable multimedia player (4) in the receiving slot (31) on the connecting mechanism (3) with a mating connector (41) of the portable multimedia player (4) electrically connected to the connector (33) arranged in the receiving slot (31). Accordingly, when the portable multimedia player (4) operates to output image and sound, the output sound is played via the speakers (37) of the connecting mechanism (3).
  • the portable multimedia player (4) in the receiving slot (31) may also be charged as necessary or used for signal transfer.
  • the sound output via the speakers (37) is received by the sensing unit (13).
  • the sensing unit (13) actuates the actuating unit (12), bringing the covering (11) to act in response to the sound.
  • the connecting mechanism (3) cooperatively actuates the sound-controlled mechanism (1) to move, making the sound-controlled structure novel and interesting for use.
  • the sound-controlled mechanism (1) may also be powered by one or more batteries (not shown) provided in the sound-controlled mechanism (1).
  • the present invention enables the sound-controlled mechanism (1) to continuously act in response to the sound output by a portable multimedia player (4) inserted in the connecting mechanism (3) positioned in the container (2) associated with the sound-controlled mechanism (1), making the sound-controlled structure of the present invention novel and attractive.
