Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a music-generating device with gear assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available gear-building toys can help young children master building skills and learn about mechanical physics concepts such as levers, gear transmission, and belt drives through block play. However, children easily become bored after building them multiple times, and their enthusiasm for the toys tends to decline. Similarly, musical staff toys can help children understand the shape and position of musical staffs, but they primarily focus on declarative knowledge, requiring children to memorize individual unit symbols. Both types of toys have a certain degree of singular function. Summary of the Invention
