Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
[0001] The present invention relates to an electromotive toy processor with voice synchronisation and an audio device for a toy. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The voice of the electromotive toy is originated from voice sources such as a microphone, VCD, CD, DVD, radio, or computer and cooperates with an electromotor core and acoustic enclosures of various stuffed toys and toys made from all kinds of soft finishes. The actions of the stuffed toys are synchronized with the voice, their visualisation is vivid, and the voice sources reproduced by them are rich. These toys could be used by children, or be viewed and admired by adults. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0003] The functions of popular electromotive toys with voice-production are mainly implemented by inbuilt ICs. As their functions are restricted by the inbuilt ICs, such electromotive toys generally have only limited pitch or a lyrical range, and their actions are also repetitive. Accordingly, the voice or action pattern of such electromotive toys is monotonous and of short duration, generally only tens of seconds. Furthermore, the quality of the voice is poor and is not suitable for a voice synchronisation play and synchronisation action for extended duration. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0004] It is an object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate at least one of the above disadvantages and/or more generally to provide an improved electromotive toy processor with voice synchronisation which cannot only be connected with inbuilt IC voice, but also be connected with various and rich voice sources such as computer, DVD, VCD, radio, portable microphone, MP3; the functions and operations of which are not restricted by time; which acts in synchronisation with the rhythm of the voice from the voice source or swing in synchronisation with the loudness of the voice; and which has a good voice quality. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] According to the invention, there is provided a toy comprising an electric motor adapted to animate parts of the toy, a sound transducer for reproducing sound signals, a voice processor and amplifier connected to the sound transducer, an output of which activates the electric motor to affect said movement in synchronisation with sound signals reproduced by the sound transducer. [0006] Preferably, the voice processor detects audio frequency and amplitude and is responsive thereto such that its output controls the electric motor to operate at speed that varies depending on the detected frequency and amplitude. [0007] Preferably, the toy further comprises an impedance matching network, a pulse voltage multiplier circuit, and a band-pass filter. [0008] More preferably, the impedance matching network is connected with a voice source selected from the group consisting of: computer, VCD player, CD player, DVD player, radio, portable microphone, MP3 player. [0009] It is preferred that the voice power amplifier comprises an integrated circuit on a printed circuit board. [0010] More preferably, the band-pass filter is provided on a printed circuit board. [0011] It is preferred that the voice processor is provided on a printed circuit board. [0012] More preferably, a pulse voltage multiplier circuit is provided on a printed circuit board. [0013] In a preferred embodiment, the toy further comprises an electromotor driver circuit provided on a printed circuit board. [0014] More preferably, the toy is in the form of an animal or character and further comprises a machine core rotating mechanism that is controlled by the electromotor driver circuit, and parts of the animal or character selected from the group consisting of jaw, arms, legs and eyelids are attached externally to the machine core rotating mechanism. [0015] More further preferably, the toy further comprises a shift gear driven by the electromotor via a link motion strap wheel, the shift gear driving a gear train connected to a link rod and a swing handle is engaged by the gear train, a lower lip member is engaged and operated by the link rod, and wherein the link rod and the upper lip member are integrated into one. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS [0016] The invention will now be more particularly described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: [0017] FIG. 1 is a diagram of a printed circuit board with circuit components thereon of an operating circuit for an embodiment of an electromotive toy processor with voice synchronisation in accordance with the invention; [0018] FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of the operating circuit of FIG. 1; [0019] FIG. 3 shows waveform graphs of the operating circuit of FIG. 2, where (1) is a band-pass graph of a band-pass filter, (2) is a voice frequency graph, (3) is a waveform graph of the processor, and (4) is a waveform graph of a pulse voltage multiplier circuit and driving electromotor core mechanism; Continue reading about Electromotive toy processor with voice synchronisation...
