Abstract
A robot-like electronic device changeable from a cubical or box profile to a robot profile includes a first body, two second bodies and a third body. The two second bodies are hinged to two sides of the first body through a swiveling beam. The third body is pivotally coupled on the bottom side of the first body. The first, second and third bodies can swivel relative to one another. The two second bodies and the third body can be coupled with the first body, to become a cubic or box. The two second bodies also may be swiveled outwards, like two arms of a robot. The third body can be swiveled 90 degrees relative to the first body and bent forwards like a foot, so that the first body can stand upright on a flat surface like a robot.
Claims15
A robot-like electronic device, comprising:
- a first body, the first body being hollow for containing an electronic circuit, the first body including two motors and two gear sets disposed therein, and further having two troughs running therethrough;
- two second bodies;
- two swiveling beams each having one end running through a respective trough to be hinged with a respective motor through a respective gear set and another end pivotally coupled with a respective second body, wherein the respective motors provide driving power to swivel the two second bodies close to the first body or away from the first body through swiveling of the two swiveling beams;
- and a third body pivotally coupled on the first body.
A robot-like electronic device, comprising:
- a first body, containing an electronic circuit;
- two second bodies, each second bodies being formed in a box profile which has an open side, wherein each of the two second bodies has a motor and a gear set disposed therein;
- two swiveling beams, each having one end hinged on the first body and another end running through a respective open side to be pivotally coupled with a respective motor through a respective gear set, wherein the motors provide driving power to swivel the two second bodies close to the first body or away from the first body through swiveling of the two swiveling beams;
- and
- a third body pivotally coupled on the first body.
A robot-like electronic device, comprising:
- a first body containing an electronic circuit, the first body having a pivot portion on one side thereof;
- two second bodies;
- two swiveling beams, each having one end hinged on the first body and another end pivotally coupled with a respective second body, the two second bodies being swiveled to close to the first body or being swiveled away from the first body through swiveling of the two swiveling beams;
- and
- a third body pivotally coupled on the first body, the third body having an indented pivot seat in a middle portion of one side thereof that couples with the pivot portion of the first body, wherein the pivot seat has two ends located in the third body, each end containing respectively a bearing, and an axle running through the pivot portion and the bearings.
