Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of toys, and in particular to a riding toy. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are many kinds of children's riding slide toys, including electric toys and mechanical toys. Electric riding slide toys are too fast, which is not conducive to parental supervision and can easily cause danger. Mechanical riding slide toys require children to continuously step on the pedals, and the connecting rod system drives the front and rear supporting legs of the toy to swing, so that the toy moves forward. It is interesting and can also play a role in physical exercise, and can enhance children's balance and sense of direction.

[0003] The steering structure and the connecting rod system for controlling the swing of the front and rear supporting legs of the mechanical riding sliding toys in the prior art are very complicated and not conducive to maintenance. The manufacturing process is unreasonable, and the connecting rod system may have an emergency stop when in use, resulting in large bumps and easily causing dangerous situations.

[0004] For example, the patent specification with the announcement number CN201161107Y discloses a riding sports toy, which is composed of a frame, hind legs, front legs, a pedal mechanism, a connecting rod mechanism, a one-way caster and a handlebar. A seat for riding is installed on the top surface of the frame; an animal shape is mounted on the seat cover; and the inner angle β between the front legs and the hind legs and the bottom surface of the frame is 90°<β<125°. The design disadvantage of this scheme is that it uses gear rotation, which makes a lot of noise when the toy car is running, and it needs to pull the rotating parts by hand to move. Due to the limited arm strength, it will soon feel tired, and the steering is not flexible enough.

[0005] Another example is the patent specification with publication number CN106823380A which discloses a riding sliding toy, characterized in that it includes a shell, two front support rods and two rear support rods, the lower ends of the two front support rods are provided with rotating wheels, and the upper ends are connected to the rotating system, the lower ends of the two rear support rods are provided with rotating wheels, and the upper ends are connected to the swinging system, the rotating system and the swinging system are arranged in the shell, and the lower ends of the rear support rods deviate backward from the vertical direction; the swinging system includes a pedal arranged below the shell, and a pedal frame, a pedal connecting rod, a first connecting rod, a front rod and a rear rod arranged inside the shell, and the middle part of the pedal frame is fixed to the shell by a pin shaft On the upper side, the two ends of the pedal frame are rotatably connected to the upper end of the pedal and one end of the first connecting rod of the pedal respectively, the rear end of the front rod is rotatably connected to the front end of the first connecting rod, the rear end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the front end of the rear rod, the rotatably connected part of the front rod and the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the other end of the pedal connecting rod at the same time, the front end of the front rod is rotatably connected to the outer shell, the rear end of the rear rod is simultaneously fixed to the upper ends of the two rear support rods and the angle remains unchanged, the connecting part of the rear end of the rear rod and the upper ends of the two rear support rods is fixed to the outer shell by a pin; the inner wall bottom of the outer shell is also provided with an elastic part, and the elastic part is located directly below the rear rod. In this scheme, the swing system is mounted and fixed on the shell, and a large number of screws are required for installation, and installation and disassembly are extremely inconvenient. In addition, in the connecting rod system adopted, the front rod and the rear rod are directly connected to the front support rod and the rear support rod. This structure is extremely laborious when stepping on the pedals, and is not easy to experience riding. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a riding toy which is easy to assemble and disassemble, saves effort in riding and has good shock absorption performance.

[0007] A riding toy comprises an outer shell, front support rods arranged in parallel, rear support rods arranged in parallel and one-way rollers arranged at the bottom ends of the front and rear support rods, and also comprises a rotation system arranged in the outer shell for driving the front support rods to rotate and a swinging system for driving the front and rear support rods to swing; the swinging system comprises a frame arranged in the outer shell, a front connecting rod fixedly connected to the front support rods, a rear connecting rod fixedly connected to the rear support rods, a front driving connecting rod arranged corresponding to the front support rods and a rear driving connecting rod arranged corresponding to the rear support rods.

[0008] The front connecting rod, rear connecting rod, front driving connecting rod and rear driving connecting rod are all rotatably connected to the frame, the front driving connecting rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding rear driving connecting rod via a first connecting piece, the front driving connecting rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding front connecting rod via a second connecting piece, the rear driving connecting rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding rear connecting rod via a third connecting piece, and a pedal assembly that can drive it to swing up and down is rotatably connected to the front driving connecting rod / rear driving connecting rod.

[0009] In this solution, the swing system is an independent system that can be separated from the outer shell, and can achieve efficient disassembly and assembly. At the same time, a front connecting rod and a rear connecting rod are added. A labor-saving lever is formed between the front connecting rod and the front drive connecting rod, and between the rear connecting rod and the rear drive connecting rod. The toy can be swung by lightly stepping on the pedal assembly, which saves effort while increasing riding pleasure.

[0011] Further preferably, a limiting block for limiting the position of the shock absorbing nut is sleeved on the guide rod and located between the shock absorbing nut and the shock absorbing bracket.

[0012] When the front and rear support rods swing to both sides, the rear driving connecting rod drives the guide rod to move downward, thereby compressing the shock-absorbing spring, which can provide good cushioning for the rider. At the same time, when the shock-absorbing nut contacts the limit block, the front and rear support rods cannot continue to swing outward, which has a good limiting effect. At the same time, the swing amplitude of the front and rear support rods can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the shock-absorbing nut on the guide rod; when the limit block is not set, the shock-absorbing bracket itself can be used to limit the shock-absorbing nut; in addition, in the process of moving forward, the shock-absorbing spring can have a good rebound effect, assisting the front and rear support rods to reset, which is more labor-saving. At the same time, when the toy is placed naturally, the front and rear support rods are in an upright state.

[0013] Preferably, the rotation system includes a first rotating link fixedly connected to the corresponding front support rod, a rotating rocker arm whose two ends are respectively connected to the first rotating link at one end away from the front support rod, a second rotating link rotationally connected to the rotating rocker arm, and an operating rod connected to the second rotating link through a universal joint, and an operating handle is provided on the operating rod.

[0014] Further preferably, the operating rod is composed of two detachably connected sections, and the operating handle is arranged on the upper section of the operating rod. The detachable design facilitates subsequent transportation.

[0015] Preferably, the pedal assembly comprises a pedal connecting rod rotatably connected to the front driving connecting rod / the rear driving connecting rod and a pedal detachably connected to the pedal connecting rod. The detachable design facilitates subsequent transportation.

[0016] Preferably, the front support rod and / or the rear support rod are foldable. When folded, the volume is reduced and transportation is convenient.

[0017] Preferably, the one-way roller is fixed to the bottom ends of the front and rear support rods by wheel clamps, and the wheel clamps are provided with buckle rings for limiting the rolling of the one-way roller when the one-way roller rolls in the reverse direction. The buckle ring design ensures that the toy can only move forward and cannot move backward.

[0018] Preferably, the riding toy further comprises a swing base with an arc-shaped contact surface with the ground, the swing base comprises a swing frame arranged in parallel and a crossbeam connecting the swing frame, and the crossbeam is provided with a wheel groove for accommodating a corresponding one-way roller. Adding a swing base improves the entertainment of the riding toy.

[0019] Further preferably, the wheel clamp is provided with locking hooks on both sides, and the wheel groove is provided with fixed locks that cooperate with the locking hooks on both sides, so as to ensure that the swing base is firmly connected to the toy body and ensure safety.

[0020] Preferably, the surface of the shell is covered with a layer of sponge, and the sponge is covered with a layer of plush.

[0021] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0022] (1) The swing system is an independent system that can be separated from the outer shell without the need for a large number of screws. It is extremely convenient to disassemble and assemble and to transport. At the same time, the structural strength is greatly improved, ensuring riding safety.

It should be noted that at the detachable and foldable position, the shell 1, the sponge 35 and the appearance plush 36 are spliced ​​structures at corresponding positions.

[0045] The advancement principle of the present invention:

[0046] When a person sits on the back of the shell 1, under the action of the person's gravity, the front support rod 2 will swing forward, and the rear support rod 3 will swing backward. However, since the one-way roller 4 rolls in one direction, the one-way roller 4 arranged on the rear support rod 3 does not roll during the sinking process of the back, while the one-way roller 4 arranged on the front support rod 2 rolls forward, so that the toy as a whole moves forward.

[0047] When a person steps on the pedal 15, the pedal connecting rod 14 drives the rear driving connecting rod 9 to rotate (the front end descends and the rear end rises). Under the rotation action of the rear driving connecting rod 9, the front driving connecting rod 8 is driven to rotate (the front end rises and the rear section descends). At the same time, the rotation of the front driving connecting rod 8 and the rear driving connecting rod 9 respectively drives the front connecting rod 6 and the rear connecting rod 7 to rotate, thereby transmitting force to the front support rod 2 and the rear support rod 3, so that the front and rear support rods swing inward (reset), but because the one-way roller 4 rolls in one direction, the one-way roller 4 arranged on the front support rod 2 does not roll, and the one-way roller 4 arranged on the rear support rod 3 rolls forward, and the toy continues to move forward, and the cycle is repeated.

[0048] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
