This study investigated the effects of excitation frequency, cantilever beam length, and cantilever aperture size on the upward movement (ascent) of a dynamic woodpecker toy, driven by a wireless vibration speaker attached to an acrylic cantilever beam structure. The results demonstrate that the ascending behavior of the dynamic woodpecker toy is caused by the synergy between vibration and the frictional self-locking mechanism. When the input excitation frequency approaches or matches the natural frequency of the cantilever mechanism, the system exhibits a resonant response, causing the amplitude to increase significantly, thus promoting stepwise upward motion of the toy. Excitation frequency is a critical factor governing ascent. The longer the cantilever beam length, the lower the response frequency corresponding to the peak ascending speed. Aperture size affects the ascending speed, but has minimal influence on the natural frequency.
