[0002] A toy top is a small toy, usually consisting of a top and a base. Their design is inspired by traditional spinning tops, but are usually more simplified and are used for entertainment purposes rather than as real spinning tops. Toy tops are usually made of plastic or metal.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement number CN205759651U discloses a gyroscope, which includes a rotating disk and a rotating rod. A through hole is provided at the center of the rotating disk. A positioning sleeve is provided at a position corresponding to the through hole on the rotating disk. The positioning sleeve is fixedly connected to the rotating disk. A pull rope is wound around the outer surface of the positioning sleeve.

A conical rotating head is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod and the conical rotating head is arranged below the rotating disk. The diameter of the conical rotating head is greater than the aperture of the through hole. The gyroscope is simple to operate and easy to use. The center of gravity of the entire gyroscope is downward, which improves the stability of the rotating disk. The balancing effect of the counterweight makes the gyroscope run more smoothly and last longer. However, after the action of the pull rope, the rotating disk of the gyroscope has a small moment of inertia, which cannot further improve the duration of the gyroscope's operation.

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a toy gyroscope, including a fixed rod 1 and a rotating structure sleeved on the fixed rod 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, a rotating core 3 is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the fixed rod 1. The rotating core 3 is conical as a whole and its bottom is hemispherical. A limit piece is fixedly arranged on the fixed rod 1 and is arranged close to the rotating core 3. In this embodiment, the limit piece includes a limit ring 2. The limit ring 2 and the fixed rod 1 are an integral structure. The rotating structure is placed on the limit ring 2 so that the rotating structure will not separate from the fixed rod 1 when the gyroscope rotates.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the rotating structure includes a connection plate 5, an expansion column 4, and a rotating disk 7. Both the connection plate 5 and the rotating disk 7 are cylindrical annular structures. Both the connection plate 5 and the expansion column 4 are rotatably connected to the fixed rod 1. The expansion column 4 is fixed to the upper end surface of the connection plate 5. The limiter is used to limit the connection plate 5 from being separated from the fixed rod 1. The rotating disk 7 is fixedly arranged on the outer edge of the connection plate 5. The weight of the rotating disk 7 is greater than the weight of the connection plate 5. The rotating disk 7 is made of metal material, and the connection plate 5 is made of wood material. A driving assembly is arranged on the expansion column 4. The driving assembly includes a pull rope 11 and a pull member 12. The pull rope 11 is wound around the outer wall of the expansion column 4, and the pull member 12 is fixedly arranged at the tail end of the pull rope 11. In this embodiment, the pull member 12 is a handle, and the rotation of the expansion column 4 and the connection plate 5 and the rotating disk 7 connected to the expansion column 4 can be driven by pulling the handle.

[0031] The method of using the toy gyroscope is as follows: after winding the pull rope 11 onto the expansion column 4, one hand grasps the fixed rod 1, and the other hand pulls the pull rope 11 through the pulling piece 12 until the pull rope 11 is completely separated from the expansion column 4. At this time, the connecting plate 5, the expansion column 4, and the turntable 7 rotate relative to the fixed rod 1. Then the toy gyroscope is placed on the ground, and the rotating core 3 and the fixed rod 1 can rotate together driven by the connecting plate 5, the expansion column 4, and the turntable 7. Since the connecting plate 5 is a wooden structure and the turntable 7 is a metal structure, the weight of the turntable 7 is much greater than that of the connecting plate 5. Under the action of the pull rope 11, the rotational inertia of the rotating structure is larger, so that the gyroscope rotates on the ground for a longer time.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Compared with the embodiment 1, the embodiment 2 is different in the structures of the connecting plate 5, the rotating plate 7 and the pulling member 12, and the other structures are the same.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the adapter plate 5 includes a rotating ring 13 and a plurality of connecting rods, the rotating ring 13 is sleeved on the fixed rod 1, the expansion column 4 is fixed on the upper end surface of the rotating ring 13, the lower end surface of the rotating ring 13 is fitted with the stopper, the plurality of connecting rods are centrally symmetrically arranged, one end of the plurality of connecting rods is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating ring 13, the other end of the plurality of connecting rods is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk 7, and a weight-reducing hole 6 is formed between two adjacent connecting rods, which further reduces the weight of the adapter plate 5. In addition, the rotating ring 13 can adopt a bearing, so that the sliding friction suffered by the adapter plate 5 during the rotation process is converted into rolling friction, thereby improving the durability of the gyroscope operation.

[0035] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pulling member 12 is a pull ring.

[0036] like Figure 5 , 6As shown, a plurality of receiving holes 8 are provided on the turntable 7, and the plurality of receiving holes 8 are centrally symmetrically arranged, and a counterweight 10 is detachably provided inside the receiving hole 8. An elastic ring 9 is fixedly provided inside the receiving hole 8, and the counterweight 10 includes a fixed end, and the elastic ring 9 fixes the counterweight 10 by tightening the fixed end. This design allows the counterweight 10 to be easily inserted or removed as needed, which facilitates the weight adjustment of the gyroscope. Users can add or reduce the number of counterweights 10 according to their specific needs to adjust the total weight and rotation performance of the gyroscope.

[0037] In addition, compared with Example 1, in this embodiment, the turntable 7 is flatter, so that the center of gravity of the turntable 7 is lower and the rotation radius is larger, which can further improve the stability and durability of the gyroscope.

[0038] The embodiments described above are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. Such modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present application.
