Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fidget spinners, and more particularly to a fidget spinner tuning fork-shaped plate and an open-plate fidget spinner using the same. Background Technology

[0002] A fidget spinner is a small toy with a symmetrical bearing structure that can spin freely on a finger. It consists of a bidirectional or multidirectional symmetrical body as the main body, with a bearing embedded in the middle of the body. The whole design forms a new type of item that can rotate in a plane. The basic principle of this item is similar to that of a traditional spinning top.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patents with announcement numbers CN218129923U, CN216259068U, and CN216725754U, as well as Chinese invention patent applications with publication numbers CN118454249A and CN117717791A, all propose innovative ways to play fidget spinners by utilizing the centrifugal force accompanying rotation to achieve "shell opening". Among them, CN118454249A discloses a decompression fidget spinner, proposing a fidget spinner with a shell that can be rotated out. Under the action of a linear groove and a magnet, the shell is rotated out by centrifugal force as the spinner rotates, and retracts when the spinner stops due to the reduction of centrifugal force and the magnetic force. It has a stop and lock function.

[0004] However, although the above technical solution proposes a design where the fidget spinner's plates can rotate to produce the fidget spinner, for some users, the function is still relatively simple and the playability is not high; therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of fidget spinner to change the problem of the limited playability of existing fidget spinners. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a fidget spinner with a tuning fork-shaped armor plate and a fidget spinner using the same, to solve the problem of the limited gameplay of fidget spinners mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A tuning fork-shaped pincer for a fidget spinner can be opened and closed and installed on a gyroscope. It expands or retracts as the centrifugal force of the gyroscope changes. It includes a pincer body and a vibrating arm extending from the pincer body. The pincer body is provided with a connecting part for connecting with the gyroscope. The vibrating arm includes a connecting section and a free section. The connecting section is fixedly connected to the pincer body, and the free section is suspended and emits sound when vibrating.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting segment is disposed on the edge of the armor plate body, and the free segment extends from the connecting segment and maintains a gap between it and the armor plate body.

[0009] Preferably, the vibrating arm has two free sections, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the body of the axle.

[0010] Preferably, the two free segments extend parallel to the sidewall of the plate body.

[0011] Preferably, the vibrating arm extends along the thickness direction of the armor plate to form a barrier, wherein a stepped structure is formed between the connecting section and the armor plate body.

[0012] Preferably, the armor plate body is provided with a luminescent part.

[0013] This utility model also provides an open-shell gyroscope, including any of the above-mentioned pointed gyroscope tuning fork-shaped shell plates. The open-shell gyroscope also includes male and female covers and a rotating disk that can rotate relative to the male and female covers. The male and female covers include a male cover and a female cover that can be quickly and easily connected. The rotating disk and the male cover form a rotatable structure through a bearing. The rotating disk includes an upper disk body and a lower disk body. The shell plate body can be opened and closed and installed on the rotating disk through a connecting part, and expands or retracts relative to the rotating disk as the centrifugal force of the gyroscope changes.

[0014] Preferably, both the upper plate and / or the lower plate are provided with tracks, and the connecting part includes a slider provided on the plate body, and the plate body is slidably disposed in the track by the slider.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting part further includes a first magnetic attractor disposed on the body of the apron, and a second magnetic attractor is disposed on the upper plate and / or the lower plate to magnetically attract the first magnetic attractor.

[0016] Preferably, the upper plate and / or lower plate are provided with protrusions. When the plate body is retracted, the plate body is fitted with the protrusions, and the connecting section is fitted with the outer edge of the plate body through a stepped structure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] This invention relates to a fidget spinner with a tuning fork-shaped plate and an open-plate spinner using the same. The plate is mounted on the spinner via a slider and unfolds or retracts along a track as the spinner's centrifugal force changes. When the plate is magnetically attracted, it collides with the spinner's disc. A relatively suspended vibrating arm is provided on the plate. The vibration transmitted from the plate to the vibrating arm after colliding with the disc produces sound. The vibrating arm functions similarly to a tuning fork structure, creating a unique sound effect when retracted, greatly enhancing its entertainment and interactivity. Users can explore different sound effects by controlling the rotation speed and force, as well as the impact method of the suspended arm, increasing the diversity of gameplay.

[0030] This utility model provides a tuning fork-shaped plate for a fidget spinner and an open-plate spinning top using it, such as... Figure 3-5 As shown, the open-shell gyroscope consists of male and female covers 40 and a rotating disk 30 that can rotate relative to the male and female covers 40. The male and female covers 40 include a male cover 41 and a female cover 42 that are fixed together in a quick-release manner. The rotating disk 30 and the male cover 41 form a rotatable structure through a bearing 50. The rotating disk includes an upper disk body 31 and a lower disk body 32. Tracks 33 are provided on the upper disk body 31 and / or the lower disk body 32, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the tuning fork-shaped plate of the gyroscope can be opened and closed and installed on the gyroscope, expanding or contracting relative to the gyroscope as the centrifugal force of the gyroscope changes.

[0031] The tuning fork-type gyroscope plate includes a plate body 10 and a vibrating arm 20 extending from the plate body 10. The vibrating arm 20 has a similar effect to a tuning fork structure. The plate body 10 is provided with a connecting part for connecting with the gyroscope. The connecting part includes a slider 11 and a first magnetic attraction member 12 disposed on the plate body 10. The vibrating arm 20 includes a connecting section 21 and a free section 22. The connecting section 21 is fixedly connected to the plate body 10. The free section 22 is suspended and emits sound when vibrating. The plate body 10 is connected to the gyroscope through the cooperation of the slider 11 and the first magnetic attraction member 12. It is not only simple in structure and easy to assemble, but also ensures that the plate can stably unfold and retract under the action of centrifugal force.

[0032] The slider 11 is positioned on the front and back of the plate body 10, corresponding to the track 33. The track 33 is composed of one or more grooves formed on the upper plate 31 and / or the lower plate 32. The plate body 10 is slidably positioned in the track 33 via the slider 11. The closed ends of the grooves serve as a limiting mechanism, preventing the slider 11 from sliding out of the rotating disk 30 during gyroscope rotation. The slider 11 is not limited to being integrally formed on the plate body 10; it can also be detachably installed, such as by using a movable pin to install it on the plate body 10, allowing the movable pin to be replaced after long-term impact damage. Its shape is also not limited to... Figure 2The columnar structure in the middle can also be formed with the track 33 in the form of a dovetail groove, etc. In addition, the track 33 and the slider 11 can be interchanged, that is, the groove constituting the track 33 is opened on the body 10 of the plate, and the pin / column constituting the slider is set on the rotating disk 30.

[0033] The upper plate 31 and / or the lower plate 32 are provided with a second magnetic attractor 34 that magnetically attracts the first magnetic attractor 12. When the gyroscope is stationary, the first magnetic attractor 12 and the second magnetic attractor 34 correspond to each other and are matched to attract each other, fixing the plate body 10 on the gyroscope. The rotating disk 30 allows the plate body 10 to slide in the track 33 while the rotating disk 30 is rotating. When the centrifugal force increases, the plate body 10 overcomes the magnetic force and unfolds relative to the rotating disk 30. When the centrifugal force decreases, the plate body 10 is attracted back to its original position by the magnetic force.

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the vibrating arm 20 on the plate body 10 includes a connecting section 21 and a free section 22. The connecting section 21 is fixedly connected to the plate body 10, and the free section 22 is suspended and emits sound when vibrating. The connecting section 21 is located on the edge of the plate body 10, and the free section 22 extends from the connecting section 21 with a gap between it and the plate body 10. The vibrating arm 20 is suspended, and the gap between it and the plate body 10 avoids the resistance of the plate body 10, thereby improving the vibration quality and stability. The vibrating arm 20 has two free sections 22, which are symmetrically arranged relative to the plate body 10. The two free sections 22 extend parallel to the side wall of the plate body 10. The symmetrical arrangement of the vibrating arm 20 ensures that it will not deviate during vibration, further improving the vibration quality. The plate body 10 transmits vibration to the vibrating arm 20 after colliding with the disc, causing it to vibrate and produce sound.

[0035] A gap is maintained between the free segment 22 and the plate body 10. This gap facilitates the vibration of the free segment 22, allowing it to strike the plate body 10 when it retracts, thus producing sound. The width, length, and shape of the gap can be adjusted as needed. The gap provides a channel for airflow, which allows sound to be emitted during vibration. The sound quality and volume can be controlled by adjusting the size of the gap. For example, a smaller gap results in a sharper sound, while a larger gap results in a deeper sound. In a fidget spinner, a well-designed gap between the cantilever and the plate body 10 can provide interesting sound effects and enhance the spinner's entertainment and interactivity.

[0036] like Figure 3-5As shown, the upper plate 31 and / or the lower plate 32 are provided with protrusions 35. The vibrating arm 20 extends along the thickness direction of the plate body 10 to form a barrier 23. The connecting section 21 forms a stepped structure 24 with the plate body 10. When the plate body 10 is retracted, it fits into the protrusions 35 of the gyroscope plate and cooperates with the outer edge of the plate through the stepped structure 24, which can enhance the impact force when retracting, thereby improving the vibration amplitude and sound quality of the vibrating arm 20.

[0037] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the thickness of the vibrating arm 20 is greater than the thickness of the plate body 10, and a stepped structure 24 is formed between the connecting section 21 and the plate body 10, so that a height difference is formed between the vibrating arm 20 and the plate body 10, which can be used to fit the gyro turntable 30.

[0038] The plate body 10 is mainly made of a certain rigid material, such as aluminum alloy, plastic or composite material; the shape of the cantilever is usually curved or similar to a tuning fork structure, and needs to have a certain degree of curvature or zigzag to increase the sound effect when impacted; the cantilever on both sides of the plate body 10 is made of elastic material thin metal sheet or composite material to ensure that it can swing, generate vibration and transmit sound when impacted; the fixed part of the cantilever is fixed to the plate body 10, while the free section 22 of the vibrating wall 20 is set in the form of a cantilever and does not contact other parts to ensure that the cantilever can vibrate freely; the vibration frequency of the cantilever is related to the rotation speed of the gyroscope and the material, elasticity and other factors of the cantilever, so the volume and frequency of the sound can be changed by adjusting the length, thickness or elastic coefficient of the cantilever.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the plate body 10 has a groove, and a first magnet adapted to the shape of the groove is installed in the groove; the groove and the first magnet can be triangular, square, circular, or other shapes. In this embodiment, the groove is circular; the depth and width of the groove need to match the size of the first magnet. The first magnet can be installed in the groove by insertion, bonding, or other means; the function of the first magnet is to drive the plate body 10 to unfold and then reset through magnetic force; in the gyroscope design, the first magnet is replaced by an elastic element. When the centrifugal force of the gyroscope decreases, the plate body 10 can automatically retract through the elastic force.

[0040] In this embodiment, the track 33 on the gyroscope is a straight groove, but the track 33 can also be designed to be curved. The plate body 10 is slidably connected to the gyroscope. In another embodiment, the plate body 10 and the gyroscope can be rotatably connected by setting a rotating shaft or other means.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the top of the apron body 10 is provided with a luminescent part 13. The luminescent part 13 can be used to place or coat luminescent materials, such as luminescent beads, luminescent tubes, and luminescent coatings, which can produce light effects when rotated. The luminescent part 13 is usually circular, rectangular, or other suitable geometric shapes. In this embodiment, it is rectangular to ensure that the luminescent material can be tightly attached and stably fixed in the luminescent part 13. The apron body 10 rotates through a rotation mechanism. During the rotation, the luminescent material in the luminescent part 13 will further enhance the distribution and effect of the light effect after the apron extends due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation. When the apron body 10 rotates in a dark environment, the luminescent material will continuously emit light and form a dynamic light effect, improving the visual effect at night. Moreover, the luminescent part 13 is connected to the gap, which makes it easier to replace or install luminescent materials. The setting of the luminescent part 13 can be adjusted and modified according to specific needs to adapt to different application scenarios and light effect requirements.

[0042] In some embodiments, the vibrating arm 20 is made of steel, with a free section 22 having a length of 10-20 mm, a width of 1-3 mm, and a thickness of 0.1-0.5 mm. Other metal materials, such as aluminum alloy or copper alloy, can also be used for the vibrating arm 20. The axle body 10 is made of plastic with a thickness of 2-5 mm. The slider 11 of the connecting part 3 is formed on the axle body 101, and the first magnetic suction member 12 is embedded within the axle body 101. Both the first magnetic suction member 12 and the second magnetic suction member 34 are made of neodymium iron boron permanent magnets with a magnetization intensity of 1000-1400 kA / m. The upper plate 31 and the lower plate 32 are made of epoxy resin glass fiber reinforced material with a thickness of 1-3 mm. The track 33 has a width of 2-4 mm and a depth of 1-2 mm. However, this invention is not limited to the above dimensions.

[0043] This innovative design creates a unique sound effect when the plates retract, with the vibrating arm 20 functioning similarly to a tuning fork, greatly enhancing the toy's entertainment value and interactivity. Users can explore different sound effects by controlling the rotation speed and force, as well as the impact pattern of the free segment, increasing the variety of ways to play.

[0044] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
