The first actuator 222, the first elastic sleeve 224, the m: 20, and the first elastic member are moved to present a human face to enclose the elastic member. 226 'presents a human figure two sets to cover the second part of the face, that is, the eye 9 200810818. The first elastic member 22 has a first end 2 and a second end 220b. And the second elastic member 226 has a second 226 & and a fourth end 226b. As shown in FIG. 6 , the first end 2 of the first elastic member 22 is rotatable to the first actuator 222, and - the second end 2 of the elastic member 22G is passively fixed in the skin 4 of the human face. The second end D6a of the second elastic member 226 is rotatably The fourth end 226b of the second elastic member U6 is rotatably fixed in the skin 4 of the human face. The first actuation, 222 is used to actuate the first elasticity. The first end of the member 22 is rotated 2 times, and the second actuator 228 is configured to actuate the third end 226a of the second elastic member 226 to rotate, causing the first facial portion (eye 2〇a above the eye 2 (8) And the second facial part (the eye examination 202 under the eye 20a) can present a variety of facial expressions on the human face 2. For example, as shown in Figure 6, if the first actuator 222 causes The first end of the member 22G is placed in the direction of the arrow a2, and the third actuator 228 is actuated to rotate the third end 2 of the second elastic member 226 in the direction of the arrow ^, then the eye jOa The eyelid 200 and the lower eyelid 2〇2 will present the facial expression as shown in Figure 7 on the human face (eye 2〇a open). Similarly, the eye can also appear on the human face 1 as shown in Figure 7. The face expression (eye 2〇b open). In the third embodiment described above, the first elastic member 22〇 and the second elastic structure are respectively a spring Other similar components, and the first actuator, the pull and the second 228 respectively comprise a motor (not shown) for actuating the first end 220a of the first elastic member 220 and the third end 22 of the second elastic member 226. In the second embodiment, the skin of the human face j can be an elastic skin, and the first elastic member 220 and the second elastic member 226 are respectively connected to the elastic surface, whereby the elastic skin 40 and the first elasticity are The member 220 and the second = member 226 are actuated by the first actuator 222 and the third actuator 228 to present a more lively facial expression. 200810818
