Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] This utility model discloses a spinning top toy, which, in some embodiments, combines... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the spinning top toy includes a launcher 100, a spinning top 200, and a rack 300. The launcher 100 includes a launch base 110 and a gear mechanism 120 disposed on the launch base 110. The spinning top 200 is adapted to be disposed on the launch base 110. The spinning top 200 includes a drive gear 213, which is adapted to mesh with the gear mechanism 120 when the spinning top 200 is disposed on the launch base 110. The rack 300 is adapted to be inserted into and removed from the launch base 110. When inserted into the launch base 110, the rack 300 is adapted to mesh with the gear mechanism 120 and restrict the spinning top 200 to the launch base 110. When removed from the launch base 110, the rack 300 is adapted to act on the drive gear 213 through the gear mechanism 120 to make the spinning top 200 rotate and launch away from the launch base 110.

[0030] Specifically, the launcher 110 is used to mount the gyroscope 200. The shape of the launcher 110 can be various and can be determined according to the actual product requirements. When the gyroscope 200 is set in the launcher 110, the gyroscope 200 meshes with the gear mechanism 120. Under the action of the gear mechanism 120, the gyroscope 200 can be rotated. The gear mechanism 120 needs to be driven by the rack 300.

[0031] The rack 300 is elongated and can be inserted into and removed from the launcher 110. When the rack 300 is inserted into the launcher 110, it meshes with the gear mechanism 120. Simultaneously, the rack 300 restrains the gyroscope 200 within the launcher 110. This restraint prevents the gyroscope 200 from becoming detached, ensuring it remains on the launcher 110 and maintaining the meshing between the gyroscope 200 and the gear mechanism 120. This provides the foundation for the rack 300 to drive the gyroscope 200 to rotate. When the rack 300 is pulled away from the launcher 110, the rack 300 acts on the gear mechanism 120, causing the gear mechanism 120 to drive the gyroscope 200 to rotate on the launcher 110. At the same time, since the rack 300 is pulled away from the launcher 110, the rack 300 is released from its restriction on the gyroscope 200, and the gyroscope 200 is launched and detached from the launcher 110 under the action of rotation.

[0032] For example, first install the gyroscope 200 in the corresponding position of the launcher 110. At this time, the gyroscope 200 and the gear mechanism 120 are engaged. Then insert the rack 300 into the launcher 110. The rack 300 and the gear mechanism 120 are engaged and restrict the gyroscope 200. Then pull the rack 300 away from the launcher 110. In this way, the gyroscope 200 can be launched in a rotating posture.

[0033] As can be seen, the rack 300 has multiple functions, eliminating the need for separate structures on the launcher 110 for holding and driving the gyroscope 200, effectively reducing the structural complexity of the launcher 100 and providing a new approach to miniaturization of the launcher 100.

[0034] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the launcher 110 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The gear mechanism 120 is mounted on the second side of the launcher 110 and is exposed on the second side of the launcher 110. In this way, the launcher 110 does not need to form a full enclosure for the gear mechanism 120, which simplifies the structure of the launcher 110.

[0035] For example, the transmitter 100 is designed for handheld use. The user holds the transmitter base 110 with their left hand and operates the rack 300 with their right hand. In a typical launching scenario, the first side of the transmitter base 110 faces upward and the second side faces downward, so the gear mechanism 120 will not be visible to the user.

[0036] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the second side of the launcher 110 has an open cavity 113, and the gear mechanism 120 is placed in the cavity 113. By providing an open cavity 113 on the second side of the launcher 110, the gear mechanism 120 can be installed in the cavity 113 at the open end of the cavity 113. Since the cavity 113 is a solid structure, a solid structure can be formed around the launcher 110. Thus, when the user holds the launcher 100, the contact area between the user's hand and the launcher 110 can be increased, improving the user's grip comfort.

[0037] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the launcher 110 is provided with a first support column 130 and a second support column 140. The gear mechanism 120 includes an input gear 121 and an output gear 122 that mesh with each other. The input gear 121 is sleeved on the first support column 130 and is adapted to mesh with the rack 300. The output gear 122 is sleeved on the second support column 140 and is adapted to mesh with the drive gear 213 of the gyroscope 200.

[0038] The gear mechanism 120 includes an input gear 121 and an output gear 122. The input gear 121 and the output gear 122 mesh, and the input gear 121 meshes with the rack 300. The output gear 122 meshes with the drive gear 213 of the gyroscope 200. Through the cooperation of the input gear 121 and the output gear 122, the transmission between the rack 300 and the gyroscope 200 can be realized. When the rack 300 is disengaged, it can drive the input gear 121 and the output gear 122 to rotate, thereby acting on the drive gear 213 through the output gear 122, causing the gyroscope 200 to rotate. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0039] The installation of the input gear 121 and the output gear 122 is mainly achieved by setting a first support column 130 and a second support column 140 on the launcher 110. The first support column 130 can extend from the launcher 110 and away from the launcher 110. The input gear 121 can be sleeved on the first support column 130 from the free end of the first support column 130. The second support column 140 can extend from the launcher 110 and away from the launcher 110. The output gear 122 can be sleeved on the second support column 140 from the free end of the second support column 140.

[0040] Optionally, the first support column 130 and the launcher 110 are integrally formed, and the second support column 140 and the launcher 110 are integrally formed. This not only improves the connection strength between the first support column 130 and the launcher 110, but also improves the connection strength between the second support column 140 and the launcher 110, and reduces the number of parts and simplifies the structure.

[0041] To prevent the input gear 121 from disengaging from the first support post 130 and to prevent the output gear 122 from disengaging from the second support post 140, in some embodiments, a combination of Figure 6 As shown, the first support column 130 is provided with a first stop portion 132. The first stop portion 132 is adapted to stop the input gear 121 in the direction in which the input gear 121 disengages from the first support column 130. The input gear 121 includes a first pinion portion 1211 and a first gear portion 1212 coaxially fixed. The diameter of the first gear portion 1212 is larger than the diameter of the first pinion portion 1211. The first gear portion 1212 is adapted to stop the output gear 122 in the direction in which the output gear 122 disengages from the second support column 140. The first gear portion 1212 is adapted to mesh with the rack 300.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the input gear 121 is sleeved on the first support post 130, it cooperates with the first stop part 132. The first stop part 132 stops the input gear 121 in the direction in which the input gear 121 disengages from the first support post 130, thereby achieving axial limiting of the input gear 121 (axial limiting of the input gear 121 means that the input gear 121 is limited along the extension direction of its rotation axis), preventing the input gear 121 from disengaging from the first support post 130. Based on this, in order to simplify the structure, the axial limiting of the output gear 122 is achieved by the cooperation of the input gear 121 and the output gear 122 (the axial limiting of the output gear 122 means that the output gear 122 is limited along the extension direction of its rotation axis). Specifically, the input gear 121 includes a first pinion portion 1211 and a first large gear portion 1212 fixed coaxially. The diameter of the first large gear portion 1212 is larger than the diameter of the first pinion portion 1211. The first large gear portion 1212 is adapted to stop the output gear 122 in the direction in which the output gear 122 disengages from the second support column 140. That is, the first large gear portion 1212 and the output gear 122 have a certain overlap. In this way, the axial limiting of the output gear 122 can be achieved without setting a corresponding stop structure in the second support column 140, which helps to simplify the structure.

[0043] Similarly, the following solutions can also be adopted: For example, combining Figure 7 As shown, the input gear 121 includes a first pinion portion 1211 and a first large gear portion 1212 coaxially fixed. The diameter of the first large gear portion 1212 is larger than the diameter of the first pinion portion 1211, and the first large gear portion 1212 is adapted to mesh with the rack 300. The second support column 140 is provided with a second stop portion 142, which is adapted to stop the output gear 122 in the direction in which the output gear 122 disengages from the second support column 140. The output gear 122 is adapted to stop the first large gear portion 1212 in the direction in which the input gear 121 disengages from the first support column 130.

[0044] For example, combining Figure 8 As shown, the second support column 140 is provided with a second stop portion 142. The second stop portion 142 is adapted to stop the output gear 122 in the direction in which the output gear 122 disengages from the second support column 140. The output gear 122 includes a second pinion portion 1221 and a second large gear portion 1222 that are coaxially fixed. The diameter of the second large gear portion 1222 is larger than the diameter of the second pinion portion 1221. The second large gear portion 1222 is adapted to stop the input gear 121 in the direction in which the input gear 121 disengages from the first support column 130. The second large gear portion 1222 is adapted to mesh with the drive gear 213 of the gyroscope 200.

[0045] For example, combining Figure 9As shown, the output gear 122 includes a second pinion portion 1221 and a second large gear portion 1222 coaxially fixed. The diameter of the second large gear portion 1222 is larger than the diameter of the second pinion portion 1221, and the second large gear portion 1222 is adapted to mesh with the drive gear 213 of the gyroscope 200. The first support column 130 is provided with a first stop portion 132, which is adapted to stop the input gear 121 in the direction in which the input gear 121 disengages from the first support column 130. The input gear 121 is adapted to stop the second large gear portion 1222 in the direction in which the output gear 122 disengages from the second support column 140.

[0046] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the first support column 130 includes at least two alternately arranged first elastic support columns 131 for the input gear 121 to be fitted, and the first elastic support column 131 is provided with a first stop portion 132.

[0047] The first stop 132 is disposed at the free end of the first elastic support 131. When the input gear 121 is fitted onto the first support post 130, the first elastic supports 131 are pressed together and brought closer. The through hole of the input gear 121 is aligned with the first elastic supports 131. The first support post 130 is then fitted in this way. After the input gear 121 is fitted onto the first support post 130, the first elastic supports 131 are released. The first elastic supports 131 return to their original position under the action of elastic force, so that the first stop 132 stops the input gear 121 in the direction in which the input gear 121 is disengaged from the first support post 130. This cooperation facilitates the assembly of the input gear 121.

[0048] Similarly, combining Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the second support column 140 includes at least two alternately arranged second elastic support columns 141 for the output gear 122 to be fitted. The second elastic support column 141 is provided with a second stop 142. This fit facilitates the assembly of the output gear 122.

[0049] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the launcher 110 is provided with an installation notch 111, the gyroscope 200 is adapted to be disposed in the installation notch 111 and is axially limited, and the rack 300 is adapted to surround the installation notch 111 when inserted into the launcher 110 and to open the installation notch 111 when removed from the launcher 110.

[0050] The mounting notch 111 is open at the edge of the launcher 110, and has a U-shaped profile. The gyroscope 200 can be inserted into the mounting notch 111 through its open end. After the gyroscope 200 is inserted into the mounting notch 111, it is axially limited (the axial limitation of the gyroscope 200 means that the gyroscope 200 is limited along the extension direction of its rotation axis). Thus, the gyroscope 200 can only leave the mounting notch 111 from its open end, while the rack 300... When the launcher 110 is inserted, it encloses the mounting notch 111, thus closing the open end of the mounting notch 111. The rack 300 prevents the gyroscope 200 from detaching from the mounting notch 111, thus confining the gyroscope 200 to the launcher 110 and preventing the gyroscope 200 from becoming loose. When the rack 300 is pulled out of the launcher 110, it opens the mounting notch 111, thus opening the open end of the mounting notch 111. The gyroscope 200 can then detach from the mounting notch 111 and be launched while rotating.

[0051] To facilitate axial positioning of the gyroscope 200, in some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 10 As shown, one of the launcher 110 and the gyroscope 200 is provided with a limiting part 112, and the other of the launcher 110 and the gyroscope 200 is provided with a limiting groove 215. The limiting part 112 is adapted to be inserted into the limiting groove 215 when the gyroscope 200 is set in the mounting notch 111, so as to form an axial limit on the gyroscope 200.

[0052] When the gyroscope 200 is installed on the launcher 110, the gyroscope 200 is inserted into the mounting notch 111 from its open end. The limiting part 112 and the limiting groove 215 correspond to each other, causing the limiting part 112 to engage with the limiting groove 215. Thus, in the axial direction of the gyroscope 200, the gyroscope 200 is axially limited by the combined action of the limiting part 112 and the limiting groove 215. For example, the gyroscope 200 is provided with a limiting groove 215 that extends circumferentially along the gyroscope 200. The limiting part 112 extends circumferentially along the mounting notch 111 in a roughly U-shape. When the gyroscope 200 is inserted into the mounting notch 111, the limiting groove 215 aligns with the limiting part 112. As the gyroscope 200 is installed in place, the limiting part 112 engages with the limiting groove 215, thereby achieving axial limitation of the gyroscope 200.

[0053] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the gyroscope 200 includes a gyroscope body 210, a countermeasure 220, and a gyroscope cover 230; The gyroscope body 210 is provided with a first slot 2111 and a second slot 2112. Along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200, the depth of the first slot 2111 is greater than the depth of the second slot 2112. The countermeasure 220 includes a first attack ring 221, which is sleeved on the gyroscope body 210. The first attack ring 221 has a first latching protrusion 2211, which is latched into either a first latching slot 2111 or a second latching slot 2112.

[0054] The gyroscope cover 230 and the gyroscope body 210 are connected to jointly counteract the anti-rotor 220 to form an axial limit.

[0055] The gyroscope 200 is assembled from a gyroscope body 210, a countermeasure 220, and a gyroscope cover 230. When the gyroscope cover 230 is connected to the gyroscope body 210, it can achieve axial limiting of the countermeasure 220 (axial limiting of the countermeasure 220 means that the countermeasure 220 is limited along the extension direction of the rotation axis of the gyroscope 200). In this embodiment, in order to improve the playability of the gyroscope 200, the gyroscope body 210 is provided with a first slot 2111 and a second slot 2112. Along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200, the depth of the first slot 2111 is greater than the depth of the second slot 2112. The countermeasure 220 includes a first attack ring 221, which is sleeved on the gyroscope body 210, and the first attack ring 221 is provided with a first locking protrusion 2211, which is adapted to be engaged with either the first slot 2111 or the second slot 2112.

[0056] In other words, when the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210, the first latching protrusion 2211 can be inserted into the first latching slot 2111, or the first latching protrusion 2211 can be inserted into the second latching slot 2112. This can change the overall shape of the gyroscope 200. This change depends on the structure of the first attack ring 221. For example, it can change the shape of the gyroscope 200 or change the center of gravity of the gyroscope 200, thus increasing the playability of the gyroscope 200.

[0057] Optionally, the first slot 2111 and the second slot 2112 are arranged circumferentially along the gyroscope 200 and are each open along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200. This allows the first attack ring 221 to be easily engaged with the first slot 2111 or the second slot 2112 when it is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200. The gyroscope cover 230 can limit the position of the first attack ring 221 by clamping the first slot 2211 in cooperation with the gyroscope body 210.

[0058] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, the state of the first attack ring 221 when the first card protrusion 2211 is inserted into the first card slot 2111 and the state when the first card protrusion 2211 is inserted into the second card slot 2112 are reversed.

[0059] For example, when the first protrusion 2211 needs to be inserted into the first slot 2111, the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 in a forward orientation. When the first protrusion 2211 needs to be inserted into the second slot 2112, the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 in a reverse orientation. The forward and reverse orientations of the first attack ring 221 are achieved by flipping the first attack ring 221.

[0060] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 14 As shown, along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200, the first locking protrusion 2211 is offset from the axial center position of the first attack ring 221. Due to the different depths of the first slot 2111 and the second slot 2112, and based on the offset of the first locking protrusion 2211 from the axial center position of the first attack ring 221, when the first attack ring 221 is mounted on the gyroscope body 210 in a forward orientation, causing the first locking protrusion 2211 to engage with the first slot 2111, and when mounted on the gyroscope body 210 in a reverse orientation, causing the first locking protrusion 2211 to engage with the second slot 2112, these two assembly methods cause a change in the center of gravity of the entire gyroscope 200.

[0061] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the gyroscope body 210 is provided with a third slot 2113, and the countermeasure 220 includes a second attack ring 222. The second attack ring 222 is provided with a second latching protrusion 2221. The second attack ring 222 can be sleeved on the gyroscope body 210 and the second latching protrusion 2221 is engaged in the third slot 2113.

[0062] In other words, the countermeasure component 220 includes a first attack ring 221 and a second attack ring 222. The first attack ring 221 can be used alone to assemble the gyroscope 200, or both can be used simultaneously, increasing the playability of the gyroscope 200. To accommodate the installation of the second attack ring 222, the gyroscope body 210 is provided with a third slot 2113. When the second attack ring 222 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210, the second latching protrusion 2221 engages with the third slot 2113.

[0063] Optionally, the third slot 2113 is open along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200. When the second attack ring 222 is sleeved on the gyroscope body 210 along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200, it facilitates the second locking protrusion 2221 to engage with the third slot 2113. The depth of the third slot 2113 relative to the first slot 2111 and the second slot 2112 can be determined according to the actual product. The gyroscope cover 230 can limit the second attack ring 222 by clamping the second locking protrusion 2221 in cooperation with the gyroscope body 210.

[0064] It is understandable that the second attack ring 222 can only be fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 on the premise that the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 and the first latching protrusion 2211 is engaged with the first latching slot 2111. That is, the second attack ring 222 cannot be fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 when the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 and the first latching protrusion 2211 is engaged with the second latching slot 2112.

[0065] Alternatively, the second attack ring 222 can only be fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 on the premise that the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 and the first latching protrusion 2211 is engaged with the second latching slot 2112. That is, the second attack ring 222 cannot be fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 when the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 and the first latching protrusion 2211 is engaged with the first latching slot 2111.

[0066] Alternatively, when the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210, the second attack ring 222 can be fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 regardless of whether the first latching protrusion 2211 is inserted into the first latching slot 2111 or the second latching slot 2112.

[0067] For example, when the first attack ring 221 is fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 and the first latching protrusion 2211 is engaged in the second latching slot 2112, the second attack ring 222 can be fitted onto the gyroscope body 210 and the second latching protrusion 2221 can be engaged in the third latching slot 2113.

[0068] In some embodiments, the gyroscope cover 230 and the gyroscope body 210 are snap-fitted together, which facilitates the assembly of the gyroscope cover 230 and the gyroscope body 210.

[0069] For example, combining Figure 11 and Figure 18 As shown, the gyroscope cover 230 includes a first cover 231 and a second cover 232. The second cover 232 is disposed between the first cover 231 and the gyroscope body 210. The first cover 231 has a claw portion 233, which passes through the second cover 232 from the first cover 231 to snap-fit ​​with the gyroscope body 210. The second cover 232 has corresponding holes for the claw portion 233 to pass through. By snap-fitting with the gyroscope body 210 through the claw portion 233, the first cover 231 is fixed. Simultaneously, the first cover 231 and the gyroscope body 210 clamp the second cover 232. The second cover 232 can cooperate with the gyroscope body 210 to achieve the clamping of the countermeasure 220.

[0070] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 18 and Figure 19As shown, there are at least two first cover bodies 231. One of the first cover bodies 231 is defined as the first sub-cover 2311, and the other first cover body 231 is defined as the second sub-cover 2312. Either the first sub-cover 2311 or the second sub-cover 2312 is adapted to be connected to the gyroscope body 210. The second sub-cover 2312 has a hand-twisting portion 234 extending along the axial direction of the gyroscope 200. With this configuration, when assembling the gyroscope 200 using the second sub-cover 2312, the user can manually apply rotation to the hand-twisting portion 234 to make the gyroscope 200 rotate, thereby improving playability.

[0071] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 20 As shown, the gyroscope body 210 includes a support shell 211, a support ring 212, a gyroscope tip 214, and a drive gear 213. The counteracting component 220, the gyroscope cover 230, and the drive gear 213 are respectively connected to the support shell 211. The support ring 212 is sleeved between the support shell 211 and the drive gear 213, and a limiting groove 215 is formed between the support ring 212 and the drive gear 213. The gyroscope tip 214 is connected to the drive gear 213.

[0072] The gyroscope cover 230, the first attack ring 221 and the second attack ring 222 are installed on the gyroscope body 210, specifically on the support shell 211. The drive gear 213 is also installed on the support shell 211. The gyroscope tip 214 is connected to the drive gear 213, thus realizing the assembly of the gyroscope 200.

[0073] Optionally, the support housing 211 and the drive gear 213 are snap-fitted together to facilitate their assembly. Similarly, the drive gear 213 and the gyroscope tip 214 are snap-fitted together.

[0074] In some embodiments, the support ring 212 is rotatable between the support shell 211 and the drive gear 213. Since a limiting groove 215 is formed between the support ring 212 and the drive gear 213, when the gyroscope 200 is mounted on the launcher 110, the gyroscope 200 is axially limited by the cooperation of the limiting groove 215 and the limiting part 112. Under the action of gravity, the gyroscope 200 is supported on the limiting part 112 by the support ring 212. By designing the support ring 212 to be rotatable, the gyroscope 200 rotates more smoothly on the launcher 110.
