(27) The finger battle toy 100 of the present disclosure is configured as a prop for thumb wrestling games, or as a prop for other finger wrestling games besides thumb.
(28) The finger battle toy 100 comprises a toy body 10. A control circuit board 20, a touch detection assembly 30, a prompting assembly 40 and a power supply 50 are disposed in the toy body 10.
(29) The toy body 10 comprises a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The second housing 12 is disposed below and connected to the first housing 11. In a specific embodiment shown in the figures, the first housing 11 is square, which means that an outer contour of the first housing 11 is approximately cuboid. A cross-section of the first housing 11 is approximately square.

(33) As shown in
(34) Since game rules of the thumb battle game require one player to press down a thumb of an opponent and maintain the thumb at a pressed position for a predetermined duration, the game rules are established by setting the first predetermined duration. When the changing electrical signal is continuously detected for the first predetermined duration, it indicates that one of two players (e.g., the first player) has pressed the finger of the other player (e.g., the second player) onto the pressing sensing area R for at least the first predetermined duration. At this point, the first player wins, and the prompting assembly 40 outputs the prompt signal indicating that the first player has won. The first predetermined duration may be determined as 3 seconds or other duration, which is not limited thereto.
(35) As shown in
(36)
(37) The control circuit board 20 and the touch detection assembly 30 are disposed in the first accommodating cavity 1111.
(38) As shown in
(39) The pressing sensing area R is formed on the top portion of the upper cover 112. The touch detection assembly 30 is attached to the inner side of the top portion of the upper cover 112, so that when the first player presses the finger of the second player' on the pressing sensing area R, the touch detection assembly 30 is able to detect a pressing action and output the changing electrical signal.
(40)
(41) Regarding electronic components of the finger battle toy 100, the touch detection assembly 30 is a capacitive touch sensor, a resistive touch sensor, a piezoelectric sensor, etc. For instance, a sensing copper sheet is configured as a sensing element of the capacitive touch sensor. In capacitive touch detection, the sensing copper sheet acts as a sensing electrode, forming a first polar plate of a capacitor. The sensing copper sheet and ground (or circuit reference ground) form an initial capacitance (parasitic capacitance). When the finger approaches, the human body acts as a second polar plate, forming a new capacitive coupling with the sensing copper sheet, changing a total capacitance. The control circuit board 20 comprises an oscillation circuit/capacitance detection integrated chip (IC) (such as TTP223 or CY8C4014) and a signal processing assembly (configured to filter and amplify signals). The control circuit board 20, electrically connected to the sensing copper sheet, is capable of sensing changing capacitance.
(42) The control circuit board 20 further comprises a signal acquisition module and a timing trigger module. The changing electrical signal is an analog signal. The signal acquisition module, electrically connected to the touch detection assembly 30, receives the changing electrical signal, converts the changing electrical signal into a digital signal, and sends the digital signal to the timing trigger module. The timing trigger module starts timing upon receiving the digital signal and outputs a trigger signal to the prompting assembly 40 when the timing reaches the first predetermined duration. Both the signal acquisition module and the timing trigger module are components in the prior art capable of implementing the above functions.
(43) As shown in
(44) In the embodiment, the vibration module 41 is a vibration motor, and the prompt signal comprises vibration configured as a first part of the prompt signal. The control circuit board 20 is configured to control the vibration motor to continuously vibrate for a second predetermined duration when the changing electrical signal is continuously detected for the first predetermined duration.
(45) The light-emitting module 42 comprises LED lamp beads, and the prompt signal comprises light configured as a second part of the prompt signal. The columns 13 respectively disposed on the four corners of the top portion of the first housing are transparent columns. The transparent columns are hollow. An interior of each of the transparent columns is communicated with the first accommodating cavity 1111. The LED lamp beads are respectively disposed inside the transparent columns. The LED lamp beads are electrically connected to the control circuit board 20. The control circuit board 20 is configured to control the LED lamp beads to continuously emit light for a third predetermined duration when the changing electrical signal is continuously detected for the first predetermined duration.
(46) The audio output module 43 is one or more of a loudspeaker and a buzzer, and the prompt signal comprises sound configured as a third part of the prompt signal. For instance, the sound is a voice prompt such as 1, 2, 3, 4, I won the thumb war, or music indicating victory/game over. The control circuit board 20 is configured to control the audio output module 43 to continuously produce the sound for a fourth predetermined duration when the changing electrical signal is continuously detected for the first predetermined duration. For instance, the fourth predetermined duration is set to play exactly the voice prompt 1, 2, 3, 4, I won the thumb war or exactly the music indicating victory/game over.
(47) As shown in
(48) The second predetermined duration, the third predetermined duration, and the fourth predetermined duration maybe the same or different.
(49) As shown in

(52) As shown in
(53) The at least one locking portion comprises one or more first locking portions 1131. The at least one second locking portion comprises one or more second locking portions. In the specific embodiment shown in the figures, two first locking portions 1131 are provided; the number of the second locking portions 122 is the same as the number of first locking portions 1131. In some embodiments, each first locking portion 1131 is the sliding groove, and each second locking portion 122 is the protrusion.
(54) When disassembling the second housing 12 from the first housing 11, the second housing 12 is rotated in an opposite direction of an arrow shown in
(55) As shown in
(56) As shown in
(57) A conductive sheet is disposed on the pressing sensing area R. The conductive sheet is electrically connected to the control circuit board 20 to enable a current to flow through the conductive sheet. For example, since the pressing sensing area R is formed on the top portion of the upper cover 112, the upper cover 112 is made of a conductive material (such as metal) and is electrically connected to the control circuit board 20. In other words, the upper cover 112 simultaneously functions as a cover and the conductive sheet. After the power supply 50 is turned on, the control circuit board 20 allows the current to flow through the upper cover 112. When the finger of any one of the players is pressed on the pressing sensing area R of the upper cover 112, a slight electric shock is generated, providing feedback to the actions of the players and further enhancing the user experience.
