Description

This invention relates to a toy that utilizes the action of ultrasonic atomization. Conventionally, ultrasonic atomizers used for humidifying indoor air are known. Furthermore, some of these ultrasonic atomizers are known to produce mist by vibrating an ultrasonic plate. For example, the ultrasonic atomizing device described in Patent Document 1 has a window formed in the ceiling of the liquid tank that is closed off with an ultrasonic vibrating plate. The ultrasonic vibrating plate has many fine through holes formed in the direction of its thickness, and when the ultrasonic vibrating plate, with its upper surface exposed to the atmosphere and its lower surface in contact with the liquid, is ultrasonically vibrated, mist is blown upward from the through holes in the ultrasonic vibrating plate. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a toy that utilizes such an ultrasonic vibrating plate. Specifically, it discloses a configuration in which an ultrasonic atomizer is placed inside the casing of a steam locomotive toy, and the atomized particles produced by the ultrasonic atomizer are released from an opening (chimney) in the casing. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2010-249337Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-70592 (a) A perspective view of the ultrasonic mist toy seen from the front, and (b) A perspective view of the ultrasonic mist toy seen from the rear.This is a perspective view of the ultrasonic mist toy with the cap removed.(a) A perspective view of the ultrasonic mist toy with the body cover removed, and (b) A side view illustrating the internal structure of the ultrasonic mist toy.This is an exploded view of the tank and mist generator.(a) Cross-sectional view of the discharge pipeline, (b) Cross-sectional view along line A-A, (c) Cross-sectional view along line B-B.This is a magnified view of a portion of the area near the discharge pipe illustrating how water droplets are discharged, and is (a) an oblique view and (b) a side cross-sectional view. Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the figures. In the following description, the vertical direction refers to the vertical direction when the toy 10 is placed on the ground. The front-to-back direction refers to the front-to-back direction as seen in the direction of movement of the toy 10. The toy 10 according to this embodiment is in the form of a car and, as shown in Figure 1, comprises a body cover 11, a chassis 15, and wheels 38. The body cover 11 is mounted so as to cover the top surface of the chassis 15. As shown in Figure 2, an opening 11a is formed in the top surface of the body cover 11. This top surface opening 11a communicates with the water inlet 17a of the water inlet pipe 17, which will be described later. In other words, this top surface opening 11a is located vertically above the tank 37, which will be described later, and is directly connected to the tank 37. Furthermore, a cap 12 that closes the top surface opening 11a is detachably attached to the top surface of the body cover 11. As shown in Figure 2, by removing this cap 12, the water inlet 17a is exposed facing upwards, allowing water to be poured in. Also, as shown in Figure 1, by attaching the cap 12, the water inlet 17a is sealed, preventing water poured into the tank 37 from leaking out of the water inlet 17a. The wheels 38 are rotatably mounted on the chassis 15. In this embodiment, four wheels 38 are mounted, one in the front, one in the back, and one in the left and one in the right. When the toy 10 is pushed forward, these wheels 38 rotate, allowing it to move forward. The chassis 15 is the structural frame of the vehicle. As shown in Figure 3, the tank member 16, mist generator 30, discharge pipe 20, and battery 29 are arranged on the upper surface of the chassis 15. The tank member 16, mist generator 30, and battery 29 are completely covered by the body cover 11 attached to the upper surface of the chassis 15. At least the tip of the discharge pipe 20 is exposed to the outside of the body cover 11. The tank component 16 is a component that constitutes the tank 37 for storing water supplied to the mist generator 30. As shown in Figure 4, this tank component 16 comprises a storage section 18 that constitutes the tank 37, and a flange section 19 connected to the rear of the storage section 18. The storage section 18 is approximately rectangular in shape, forming a hollow section 18b for storing water. This hollow section 18b has a flat bottom surface 18c and is surrounded by walls on its front surface 18e and both sides 18d. There is no wall at the rear surface opposite the front surface 18e, forming an opening 18a. The upper surface of the hollow section 18b is slightly sloped to follow the shape of the body cover 11, forming the ceiling surface of the tank 37. The volume of this hollow section 18b (the size of the space partitioned by the bottom surface 18c, front surface 18e, both sides 18d, opening 18a, and top surface) is the v
