Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a children's entertainment toy, specifically, to a children's cutting and slicing combination toy. Background Technology

[0002] Children's cutting toys are a popular type of toy, considered one of the most beloved educational toys for kids. When children see adults busy in the kitchen, they can't resist wanting to help. This "pretend play" not only cultivates children's simple skills in cutting fruits and vegetables but also greatly helps with hand-eye coordination. Cutting toys typically come with a rich variety of accessories, including various fruits, vegetables, fish, and steaks, such as apples, bananas, crabs, and corn. Each item is meticulously crafted with a wide range of colors, stimulating children's visual and tactile senses. These foods are relatable to everyday life and help children learn about fruits and vegetables. Cutting toys are generally made of plastic, with Velcro fasteners used to create a single, complete piece. Children then use toy plastic cutters to slice the food, simulating the act of cutting fruit or vegetables.

[0003] Although children's cutting toys are highly entertaining, they are mostly aimed at children aged 2-4. Most of these toys will be cleaned up by children after they reach that age. Therefore, designing a new combination toy that can enhance the fun of cutting toys to replace the existing simple children's cutting toys has broad market prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing children's cutting toys, such as limited entertainment content, narrow age range, lack of age extension, and inability to achieve competitive gameplay. It provides a children's cutting toy combination that achieves the function of a non-manual cutting toy by forming a set of plastic toy knives, thereby enhancing entertainment and enabling competitive gameplay.

[0005] The solution of the present invention is achieved as follows: a children's cutting and slicing combination toy, including toy fruit and toy knife, and further including a receiving platform for placing the toy fruit and a mounting platform for mounting the toy knife, the mounting platform including a base and a protruding part;

[0006] The mounting platform is provided with a mounting rod, and the mounting rod is provided with a rotating rod. The bottom of the rotating rod is a ring that matches the mounting rod, so that the rotating rod can rotate on the mounting rod. The ring is provided with a return spring that is hinged to the mounting rod. When the rotating rod is not subjected to other external forces, the rotating rod is in contact with the protruding part of the mounting platform.

[0007] The rotating rod is equipped with a latching device. When the rotating rod rotates to be flush with the base of the mounting platform, the latching device connects with the locking element in the base, so that the rotating rod can return to its original state without resetting.

[0008] The end of the rotating rod is provided with a first rotating ring;

[0009] The protruding part of the mounting platform is provided with a gear column, and the top of the gear column is provided with a second rotating ring that has the same structure as the end of the rotating rod; the gear column is also provided with a gear set and a gear set handle;

[0010] It also includes a rack rod that matches the first rotating ring and the second rotating ring. The rack rod contains a rack that matches the gear set. The rack rod is composed of multiple sections, and each section is connected by a plug rod. A toy knife can be placed in the plug rod. When the gear set rotates, it can drive the rack rod to rotate and drive the toy knife to rotate.

[0011] A connecting rod is provided at the lower part of the receiving platform. The connecting rod can be matched and connected to the mounting groove at the lower part of the mounting platform. When the connecting rod is fully inserted into the mounting groove, the clamping part and the buckling device are released, and the rotating rod can return to the contact state with the protruding part. The toy fruit is connected by a detachable adhesive connection and is divided into at least two parts. The installation method of the connecting rod and the mounting groove at the lower part of the mounting platform can be achieved by existing commonly used mechanical plug-in devices.

[0012] The working principle of this invention is as follows: This invention sets up three main components: a receiving platform for placing toy fruits, a mounting platform for mounting toy knives, and a control rack and pinion to control the rotation of the toy knives, thereby allowing the toy fruits to be cut. This invention combines assembly equipment and cutting toys by adopting a non-manual toy cutting method, realizing a game-like racing function.

[0013] In this invention, as a further improvement, the rotating rod has sliding grooves on both sides, and a curved knife holder is provided on the sliding grooves for sliding connection. The curved knife holder includes a slide, and a curved connecting rod is provided at the front of the slide. The end of the curved connecting rod is provided with a rotating head that can rotate 90 degrees, and the rotating head is connected to the toy knife. The side of the slide is provided with a connecting device that can connect multiple slides. As another entertainment point of this application, the game can be enriched by changing the way fruit is cut. By changing the form of the knife holder at the top of the rotating rod, the cutting method of the fruit knife is changed from the above-mentioned rotary cutting to an up-and-down cutting mode, so that different toy knives can be set according to the structural shape of the toy fruit.

[0014] In this invention, as a further improvement, a top plate is provided at the front of the rotating rod. When the top plate extends from the front of the rotating rod and contacts the protruding part of the mounting platform, it keeps the rotating rod in a vertical position. For the previous toy knife game, ensuring the rotating rod is in a vertical position is crucial, and the top plate serves this purpose.

[0015] In this invention, as a further improvement, the mounting platform includes a protruding portion and a pop-out device. A spring element at the tail of the pop-out device connects to the protruding portion. The pop-out device can be ejected from the protruding portion using a pop-out button. The function of the pop-out device is to quickly activate it after the toy fruit is cut, ejecting the toy fruit from the receiving platform for the next toy fruit cutting game.

[0016] In this invention, as a further improvement, the receiving platform has a groove in the middle for placing toy fruit, and a notch on one side of the platform. The notch facilitates emptying the fruit. The receiving platform also has an adhesive piece in the middle that is detachably connected to the toy fruit. This adhesive piece is a Velcro strip with very low adhesive strength, primarily ensuring the stability of the toy fruit when placed and preventing it from bouncing up significantly during cutting.

[0017] As a further improvement in this invention, the receiving platform is provided with a toy fruit conveyor belt on its side.

[0018] In this invention, as a further improvement, connectors are provided on both sides of the mounting platform, allowing multiple mounting platforms to be connected. This design enables multiple sets of toys to be combined for entertainment and play, effectively increasing the toys' entertainment value and functionality.

[0019] This invention provides several toy-making methods. The first method is a solo play method. The fruit receiving platform is inserted into the mounting platform, at which point the rotating rods spring up from the base of the mounting platform. Generally, each fruit receiving platform has three rotating rods. The appropriate toy knife holder is configured according to the shape of the toy fruit being placed. For example, if a toy apple is placed, which is round and plump, composed of three horizontal segments, a rotating ring is installed at the end of the rotating rod; the rack and pinion are then installed together, with the rack matching the transmission gear. Rotating the transmission gear enables a rotating fruit-cutting activity. Alternatively, depending on preference, the rotating ring at the end can be replaced with a curved knife holder, allowing for vertical sliding cutting. If the toy fruit is a pear, which has a long, vertical adhesive opening, the rotating head can be rotated 90 degrees to change the cutting method to vertical cutting. This is only the simplest solo play method.

[0020] A more advanced gameplay mode is the racing game, where players compete against each other under timed conditions. Multiple placement platforms (at least two) are connected together, and a conveyor belt is set up on the side of the fruit receiving platform. The player who can cut the most fruit within the time limit wins. The order in which the fruit is cut and placed is fixed, which greatly increases the fairness of the game.

[0021] The key features and significant advancements of this invention are:

[0022] 1. The advantage of this invention is that it changes the way fruit slicing toys are played, thus extending the target age of children from 2-4 years old to 2-7 years old.

[0023] 2. By adding to the toy's content, this invention transforms the original simple fruit-cutting game into a complex toy with rich gameplay. It not only increases the entertainment value for individual children but also adds the element of assembling the toy and racing in the fruit-cutting game, greatly enhancing the game's entertainment value.

[0024] 3. The invention offers a variety of gameplay options, allowing for adjustments to the game's dynamics based on the different structures of the toy fruits.

[0025] 4. This invention has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, strong operational safety, low production cost, and good innovation, and can bring entertainment and joy to children. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, describes a children's cutting and slicing combination toy according to the present invention.

[0040] This invention includes a receiving platform A for holding toy fruits and a mounting platform B for mounting toy knives, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the receiving platform A includes three connecting rods 2 at its ends. A toy fruit 1 is placed on the receiving platform A. The toy fruit 1 consists of three sections connected by Velcro. The mounting platform B includes a protruding part 3 and a base 4. The connecting rods 2 can be inserted into the grooves of the base 4. A gear column 5 is provided on the side of the protruding part 3. A gear set 6 is provided on the side of the gear column 5. The gear set 6 can be rotated by the gear set handle 7. A mounting rod 12 is provided on the base 4. The mounting rod 12 has three rings 13. The rings 13 are connected to a rotating rod 8. A return spring 14 is provided in the rings 13. When the rotating rod 8 is not under force, the return spring 14 keeps the rotating rod 8 in contact with the contact plate 15. A top plate 11 is provided on the rotating rod 8. When the top plate 11 is opened to the maximum angle, it contacts the contact plate 15, so that the rotating rod 8 is in a vertical state. The side of the rotating rod 8 is also provided with a sliding groove 9 and a buckling device 18, etc. Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the latching device 18 in the rotating rod 8 is connected to the U-shaped part 30. The end of the U-shaped part 30 is provided with a spring, so that the U-shaped part 30 is kept in the left position, as shown. Figure 2As shown, when the connecting rod 2 is inserted into the base 4, it gradually contacts the lower part of the U-shaped part 30, and the latching device 18 gradually disengages from the U-shaped part 30 and springs up; when the spring protrusion 28 on the connecting rod 2 matches the bottom notch 29 under the base 4, the connecting rod 2 is fully connected to the base 4, and the spring protrusion 28 can be moved up and down by pressing, and pressing the spring protrusion 28 can cause the connecting rod 2 to disengage from the base 4. Figure 4 As shown, Velcro 31 is provided on the concave surface of the receiving platform A. Its adhesive force is relatively weak, which can just ensure that the toy fruit 1 can be placed stably in the receiving platform A, and will not bounce up immediately after the toy fruit is cut.

[0041] Based on the above basic information, two examples are listed.

[0042] Example 1:

[0043] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the invention employs a basic gameplay method, including an assembled receiving platform A and mounting platform B. The toy fruit 1 placed on the receiving platform A consists of three sections. Based on the composition of the toy fruit 1, the three pre-extended rotating rods 8 are selected and combined. In this embodiment, a gameplay method using a curved blade holder 21 paired with a rack and pinion 19 is demonstrated. A first toy knife 20 is positioned between the rack and pinion 19. The curved blade holder 21 includes a blade head 21.1, ear protectors 21.2, round rods 21.3, vertical plates 21.4, a rotating head 21.5, and a second toy knife 21.6. The blade head 21.1 is installed via a sliding groove 9, exhibiting a strong coefficient of friction. Its vertical movement is controlled by the ear protectors 21.2. The shape and structural direction of the curved blade holder 21 can be formed by splicing together multiple round rods 21.3 and vertical plates 21.4, specifically depending on the composition of the toy fruit 1. After installation, place the toy fruit 1 on the receiving platform A. Then, start the curved blade holder 21 to cut the toy fruit 1 through the second toy blade 21.6. Then, rotate the gear set handle 7 to rotate the gear set 6, causing the first toy blade 20 to rotate and cut the toy fruit 1. Finally, the toy fruit 1 is cut into multiple pieces, and the game is complete.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the rack 19 of the present invention has a cross-shaped interface, which can be matched with the first toy knife 20, and the rack 19 can rotate to drive the first toy knife 20 to rotate.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] like Figure 6-7 This is a structural diagram of this embodiment, which consists of two mounting platforms B connected in series, as shown below. Figure 6As shown, the mounting platform B on the left is entirely driven by the rack and pinion 19 to rotate the first toy knife 20, because the toy fruit 1 is composed of three sections, just like in embodiment 1; while the receiving platform A on the right holds a toy fruit 1 with cuts in both the horizontal and vertical directions, so two of the three rotating rods 8 are set as curved knife holders 21, where the rotating head 21.5 of the first rotating rod 8 is rotated to 90 degrees to cut horizontal cuts, and the other rotating rod 8 uses a vertical cutting method; a conveyor belt 26 is provided on the side of the receiving platform A, and a collection basin 27 is provided at the rear of the conveyor belt 26;

[0047] This embodiment uses a racing method, which can be played by two people in the same way. First, select the fruit to be cut. Then, connect two receiving platforms A in series and place the toy fruit 1 on platform A. Next, install the curved blade holder 21 and rack and pinion 19 as needed. Finally, start the conveyor belt 26 to transport the cut fruit away. After the fruit racing cut, press button 16 to pop out the ejector 17, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the toy fruit 1 is launched into the conveyor belt 26, and finally the conveyor belt 26 transports the chopped toy fruit 1 to the collection basin 27. The ejection technology of the button 16 and the ejector 17 can be implemented using existing technologies, which will not be described in detail here. For example, flexible pens and flexible stationery all have related technologies. In this embodiment, the winner is determined by judging the number of toy fruit 1 pieces in the collection basin 27 within a specified time.

[0048] This invention also offers multiple ways to play. Its main principle is to set game rules based on the shape of the toy fruit 1. For example, multiple toy fruits can be placed in a blind box and drawn in equal quantities for a race, or toy fruits with identical shapes can be used for a race. The toy fruits are generally designed with a three-section connection or a structure with a cut on both the horizontal and vertical sides. This design allows for compatibility with toy knives without duplication. The specific shape of toy fruit 1 can be referenced. Figure 9 .

[0049] The devices described in this invention, except for the drive belt, do not require electricity, and the drive belt can also be powered by batteries or manually.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit its implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
