The facial expression driving device l2a is the same as the facial swaying device ua, and the facial table is not provided with the wire i2a, and the second device 126.° the second end of the elastic member 120 is a pivotable pivot Connected to the first actuator 126. The second actuator 126 is coupled to the second end 120b of the first actuating first elastic member 120 to rotate 'to cause the first face ^= part of the expression drive, the device 12a, the principle of action and the facial expression drive in FIG. J | is the same as 12a, and will not be described here. In the upper second embodiment, the second actuator, 126 includes a motor (not shown) to actuate the second end 12% of the first resilient member 120. Third Preferred Embodiment The second preferred embodiment describes the principle of the face table 1 20a.20b i it of the present invention. The following is the same as _目«撕二3 > 212 , eyes The application includes an upper eye test and a blink of an eye, please refer to -, Figure 6 and Figure 7, and Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of the third expression driving device 22a according to the present invention. Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the face expression on the human eye face 20a. In an embodiment, the facial expression driving device 22a includes a first elastic member, an f-actuator 222, a first-elastic sleeve 224, a second elastic member 226, a three-actuator 228, and a second elastic sleeve 230. . The first elasticity f covers the first-elastic member 220 to present the eye 200 on the human face, that is, the eye 20a, and the second elastic sleeve 23 is used to form the human face! On the second part of the upper part, that is, the eye examination 202 on the head of 9 1293571 〒〇a. The first elastic member 220 has a first end theory and a ^-end 220b, and the second elastic member 226 has a first piece and a fourth end 226b. The first end 220a of the first elastic member 220 is a rotatable actuator 222, and the second end of the first elastic member 220 is erected and fixed to the human face 1 The epidermis is within 4 inches. The second end 226a of the second elastic member 226 is rotatably pivotally connected to the third actuator 228, and the fourth end 226b of the second elastic member=26 is rotatably fixed to the skin of the human face. Inside. f. The actuator 222 is configured to actuate the first end 2 of the first elastic member 22 to rotate, and the third actuator 228 is configured to actuate the third end 226a of the second elastic member 226 to rotate, causing the first face The part (the eyelid 2睑 above the eye 2〇a) and the second face part (the eye face 2〇2 under the eye) can present a variety of facial expressions on the human face 1 i. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, if the first actuation $222 actuates the first end 220a of the first living member 220 to rotate in the direction of the arrow a2, and the third actuation f228 acts to actuate the second elastic member 226 When the third end 226a is rotated in the direction of the arrow ^, the eyelid 200 and the lower eyelid 202 above the eye ?0a will present a facial expression (the eyes 20a are open) as shown in Fig. 7 on the human face. Similarly, the eye 2〇b can also present the facial expression shown in Figure 7 on the human face 1 (eye opening). In the third embodiment described above, the first elastic member 22 and the second elastic structure 226 may each be a spring or the like, and the first actuator 222 and the second actuator 228 respectively include a motor. (not shown) to actuate the first end 22A of the first resilient member 220 and the third end 226a of the second resilient member 226. In the third embodiment, the skin of the human face can be an elastic skin, and the first elastic member 220 and the second elastic member 226 are respectively connected to the elastic skin, whereby the elastic skin 40 is combined with the first An elastic member 220 and the second elastic member 226 are actuated together by the first actuator 222 and the third actuator 228 to present a more lively and vivid facial expression. 1293571 Ij Fourth Preferred Embodiment FIG. 8 is a schematic view showing a face=expression driving device 22a according to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention. The facial expression driving device 22a is mainly different from the facial surface driving device 22a in that the facial expression driving device 22a is used in place of the third actuator 228 and the first actuator 222. To simultaneously control the elastic member 220 and the second elastic member 226. The face of the face table U driver 22a' operates in the same manner as the face expression driver 22a of Fig. 6 and will not be described here. 5 is a preferred embodiment of the present invention: Referring to FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a face 1 expression driving device 22a" according to a fifth preferred embodiment of the present invention. The facial expression driving device 22a, and the face The earth moving device 22a mainly differs in the facial expression driving device 22a, and further includes a second actuator 234 and a fourth actuator 236. The second end f20b of the first elastic member 220 is rotatable. The second end of the second elastic member 26 is pivotally connected to the fourth actuator 236. The second actuator 234 is coupled to the first actuator 236. The second end 22 〇 \ of the first elastic member 22 is actuated to rotate, and the fourth actuator 236 is engaged with the third actuator 228 such that the fourth end 226b of the second elastic member 226 is rotated, thereby causing The first-face part (eyelid 2睑 above the eye 20a) and the second face part (eyes 2睑2 under the eye) can be a humanoid shape, and a variety of facial expressions are displayed on the main body. The function of the facial expression driving device 22a" in Fig. 9 is the same as that of the facial expression driving device 22& No longer. In the fifth embodiment tenth described above, the second actuator 234 and the fourth actuator 236 respectively include a motor (not shown) for actuating the second end 220b of the first elastic member 22 and the second elastic member 226.
