[0002] A carousel, or merry-go-round, is a type of amusement park ride featuring a rotating platform with seats decorated to resemble wooden horses that move up and down for passengers to ride. The earliest recorded carousels date back to the Byzantine Empire. Around 1860, the first steam-powered carousel appeared in Europe. Today, carousels can be found in amusement parks, shopping malls, and other places.
[0003] In order to help children better understand carousels, many carousel toys have appeared on the market. For example, the utility model with publication number CN207076121U discloses a liftable rotating electric toy. Through the mechanical connection of a screw and a nut, the plastic wooden horse rotates inside the screw to achieve lift and lowering. This invention realizes the lifting function of the carousel in addition to the ornamental function of the carousel, but it is still just a replica of the amusement park carousel and can only be used as a display item for people to appreciate. It lacks interactivity between the toy and children, lacks playability, and cannot exercise children's hands-on ability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric carousel toy to solve the following technical problems:

[0020] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention is an electric carousel toy, comprising a base 1, wherein a motor 2 is fixedly connected to the interior of the base 1, a rotating rod 3 is fixedly sleeved on the output end of the motor 2, an umbrella cover 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 3, a plurality of hanging ropes 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom circumferentially of the umbrella cover 4, and a wooden horse 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the hanging rope 5 away from the umbrella cover 4, a counterweight 8 is provided on the surface of the wooden horse 6, a flexible light strip 10 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating rod 3, a connecting rod 9 is provided between the flexible light strip 10 and the wooden horse 6, and the wooden horse 6 can be connected to the flexible light strip 10 via the connecting rod 9;
[0022] The working principle is as follows: start the motor 2, the motor 2 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, the rotating rod 3 drives the umbrella cover 4 to rotate, and the umbrella cover 4 drives the wooden horse 6 to rotate around the rotating rod 3 through the hanging rope 5. Then, under the action of centrifugal force, the wooden horse 6 gradually moves away from the rotating rod 3, and the wooden horse 6 pulls the flexible light strip 10 to open through the connecting rod 9. By installing or removing the connecting rod 9, the number of connections between the wooden horse 6 and the flexible light strip 10 is adjusted, so that the shape of the flexible light strip 10 can be changed, such as triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon, etc., and the weight of different wooden horses 6 can be made different by adding or removing the weight block 8. Therefore, under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, the opening angles of each wooden horse 6 are different, so that the opening angles of the flexible light strip 10 are more diverse, for example Figure 3 The five-pointed star shown; therefore, the present invention, as a parent-child educational toy, can customize the shape of the flexible light strip 10 by adjusting the number of connecting rods 9 and the specifications of the counterweight 8, thereby improving the playability and fun of the carousel toy, increasing the interactivity between the toy and children, and being able to give full play to children's imagination and present different shapes, thereby exercising children's hands-on ability.
[0023] See also Figure 1 As shown, a magnetic patch 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the Trojan horse 6, and the counterweight block 8 is adsorbed on the magnetic patch 7. The counterweight block 8 is divided into several specifications, and the weight of the counterweight blocks 8 of different specifications is different;
[0024] By using counterweights 8 of different weights, the weights of different wooden horses 6 are different. Therefore, during the rotation of each wooden horse 6, due to the different weights, the corresponding opening angles are also different. Therefore, by setting the weight difference between the wooden horses 6, the flexible light strip 10 can be pulled to different angles.
[0025] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, one end of the connecting rod 9 can be rotatably connected to the flexible light strip 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 can be rotatably connected to the wooden horse 6;
[0026] The connecting rod 9 is detachably connected to the wooden horse 6 and the flexible light strip 10. Preferably, a ring is provided on the wooden horse 6 and the flexible light strip 10, and the connecting rod 9 is detachably connected by snapping with the ring, so that the number of connections between the wooden horse 6 and the flexible light strip 10 can be changed, thereby changing the opening angle of the flexible light strip 10 by increasing or decreasing the number of connecting rods 9.
[0027] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, a spherical decorative lamp 11 is fixedly provided on the top of the umbrella cover 4;
[0028] The spherical decorative lamp 11 plays an embellishment role and increases the interest of the toy.
[0029] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, a plurality of telescopic rods 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1, and a support base 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod 12;
[0030] By raising and lowering the telescopic rod 12, the height of the toy can be changed according to the user's requirements, thereby increasing the viewing angle of the toy.
[0031] See also Figure 1-2 As shown, a bearing 14 is provided between the rotating rod 3 and the base 1 , the outer side of the bearing 14 is fixedly connected to the base 1 , and the inner side of the bearing 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 3 ;
[0032] The bearing 14 avoids the loss caused by the rotational friction between the rotating rod 3 and the base 1, so that the rotating rod 3 can rotate smoothly and the stability of the rotation of the wooden horse 6 is guaranteed.
[0033] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: start the motor 2, the motor 2 drives the rotating rod 3 to rotate, the rotating rod 3 drives the umbrella cover 4 to rotate, and the umbrella cover 4 drives the wooden horse 6 to rotate around the rotating rod 3 through the hanging rope 5, so that under the action of centrifugal force, the wooden horse 6 gradually moves away from the rotating rod 3, and the wooden horse 6 can pull the flexible light strip 10 to open through the connecting rod 9. The connecting rod 9 of the present invention can be installed or disassembled to adjust the number of connections between the wooden horse 6 and the flexible light strip 10, so that the shape of the flexible light strip 10 can be changed, such as triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon, etc.; the weight of the counterweight block 8 can also be adjusted. Due to the different weights of different wooden horses 6, under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, the angles of the opening of each wooden horse 6 are different, thereby making the angles of the opening of the flexible light strip 10 more diverse, for example Figure 3 The five-pointed star shown; therefore, the present invention, as a parent-child educational toy, can customize the shape of the flexible light strip 10 by adjusting the number of connecting rods 9 and the weight specifications of the counterweight block 8, thereby improving the playability and fun of the carousel toy, increasing the interactivity between the toy and children, and being able to give full play to children's imagination and present different shapes, thereby exercising children's hands-on ability.
[0034] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention. However, the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be considered to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
