[0079] like Figure 9 As shown, the power input structure includes a bottom shell 901, a rocker arm 801, a central shaft 401, and a vertical transmission mechanism. One end of the central shaft 401 is located at the center of the bottom shell 901, and the other end of the central shaft 401 passes through the ski jump simulator and the short track speed skating simulator platform and is fixedly connected to the shell 301. The rocker arm 801 passes through the bottom shell 901. The vertical transmission mechanism connects one end of the central shaft 401 and the end of the rocker arm 801 located inside the bottom shell 901.

[0080] The rocker arm 801 can drive the central shaft 401 to rotate, thereby driving the top rotating platform and the display platform to rotate; realizing a manual winding function, adding interactive fun to the product, and reducing energy consumption costs. Preferably, the vertical transmission mechanism includes a power input bevel gear 802 and a bottom bevel gear 803 that mesh with each other and whose rotating shafts are perpendicular to each other.

[0082] like Figure 5 As shown, the ski jump simulator includes a first gear transmission mechanism, a support platform 405, a rotating shaft 410, and a mannequin. The rotating shaft 410 is radially fixed on the central shaft 401, and the mannequin is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 410. The support platform 405 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 401. The first gear transmission mechanism connects the support platform 405, the central shaft 401, and the mannequin.

The lower side of the rotating arm 402 is arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside with the meshing inner spur gear 404, the outer spur gear 403, and the first internal meshing gear ring 408, and the first internal meshing gear ring 408 is fixedly arranged inside the bearing platform 405;

[0084] The lower side of the inner spur gear 404 or the outer spur gear 403 is fixedly connected to the synchronous bevel gear 406. The engaging bevel gear 407 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 410 and fixedly connected to the moving figure. The synchronous bevel gear 406 and the engaging bevel gear 407 mesh with each other and their axes of rotation are perpendicular to each other. The centerline of the rotating arm 402 coincides with the axis of rotation of the rotating shaft 410 in the axial projection. The central shaft 401 can drive the rotating arm 402 and the rotating shaft 410 to rotate synchronously relative to the first internal meshing gear ring 408, thereby driving the inner spur gear 404 and the outer spur gear 403 to rotate. Thus, through the transmission of the synchronous bevel gear 406 and the engaging bevel gear 407, the moving figure is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft 410.

[0085] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, there are multiple miniature motion figures, and each miniature motion figure, rotating arm 402, rotating shaft 410, synchronous bevel gear 406, cooperating driving bevel gear 407, internal spur gear 404, and external spur gear 403 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The synchronous bevel gear 406 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the internal spur gear 404. Each miniature motion figure includes a disc 501, a linkage group, and a connecting rod 505. The linkage group connects to the rotating part of the disc 501, and the rotating part of the disc 501 is fixedly connected to the cooperating driving bevel gear 407. The two ends of the connecting rod 505 are respectively connected to the fixed part of the disc 501 and the center of the external spur gear 403 to ensure the stability of the entire miniature motion figure.

The power conversion structure is connected to the central shaft 401 and can drive the second gear transmission mechanism to rotate. The second gear transmission mechanism includes a power spur gear 601, a second internal meshing gear ring 602, a third internal meshing gear ring 606, and a first spur gear 605.

[0089] The power spur gear 601 is sleeved and fixed to the central shaft 401. The inner tooth surface of the second internal meshing gear ring 602 meshes with the power spur gear 601. The first spur gear 605 is located outside the second internal meshing gear ring 602. The third internal meshing gear ring 606 is located outside the first spur gear 605 and the second internal meshing gear ring 602 and meshes with the first spur gear 605.

[0090] The power conversion structure includes a central shaft spur gear 701, a support shaft spur gear 702, and a support shaft, all sleeved and fixedly connected to the central shaft 401. One end of the support shaft is connected to the bottom outer shell 901, and the other end passes through the platform body and is fixedly connected to the first spur gear 605. The support shaft spur gear 702 is fixedly mounted on the support shaft and meshes with the central shaft spur gear 701. The central shaft 401 can drive the support shaft spur gear 702 to rotate through the central shaft spur gear 701, thereby sequentially driving the third internal meshing gear ring 606 to rotate in a first direction through the support shaft and the first spur gear 605. The central shaft 401 can also drive the second internal meshing gear ring 602 to rotate in a second direction through the power spur gear 601, where the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0091] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second gear transmission mechanism further includes a second spur gear 607; the second spur gear 607 meshes with a power spur gear 601, and the inner tooth surface of the second internal meshing gear ring 602 meshes with the second spur gear 607 and the power spur gear 601 respectively; the power conversion structure can drive the first spur gear 605 and the second spur gear 607 to rotate, thereby driving the second internal meshing gear ring 602 and the third internal meshing gear ring 606 to rotate respectively.

[0092] One end of the reverse support shaft 707 is connected to the bottom outer shell 901, and the other end of the reverse support shaft 707 passes through the platform body and is fixedly connected to the second spur gear 607. A rotating shaft spur gear 703 and a reverse spur gear 706 are sequentially arranged on the reverse support shaft 707. Both the support shaft spur gear 702 and the rotating shaft spur gear 703 mesh with the central shaft spur gear 701. The rotating shaft spur gear 703 and the reverse spur gear 706 are rotatably arranged. The reverse spur gear 706 is fixedly connected to the reverse support shaft 707. The rotating shaft spur gear 703 meshes with the reverse spur gear 706 through a reverse transmission gear set, which enables the rotating shaft spur gear 703 and the reverse spur gear 706 to rotate in opposite directions. The central shaft 401 can drive the rotating shaft spur gear 703 to rotate through the central shaft spur gear 701, thereby sequentially passing through the reverse transmission gear set, the reverse spur gear 706, and the reverse support shaft 707. The second spur gear 607 drives the second internal meshing gear ring 602 to rotate in a second direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction. The reverse transmission gear set includes an even number of meshing gears. Preferably, the reverse transmission gear set includes a turning spur gear 704 and a transmission spur gear 705.

The power conversion structure realizes the differential and reverse rotation functions of the second internal meshing gear ring 602 and the third internal meshing gear ring 606, thereby driving the third decorative part 603 in the shape of a short track speed skater fixed on the second internal meshing gear ring 602 to rotate. At the same time, it forms a staggered sense of reverse differential with the fourth decorative part 604 in the shape of a windmill fixed on the third internal meshing gear ring 606, which has a better visual effect.

[0094] This invention utilizes mechanical structures with different functions to design a uniquely aesthetically pleasing, dynamic rotating music box that showcases the physical representation of winter sports: It employs a four-tiered stage design, with the outer shell unfolding in a rotating manner to reveal the simple lines and precise mechanical components inside, creating a rich and comprehensive product theme. The upper display platform features a sliding, unidirectional push mechanism achieved through gears and racks, further enriching the thematic expression; the gear system of the middle-tier ski jump simulation platform meshes and rotates with the main shaft, driving the motion model to recreate classic skiing movements; and the planetary gear system of the bottom-tier short track speed skating simulation platform reproduces the reciprocating rotation of short track speed skaters, showcasing the differential motion of short track speed skating.
