DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Various exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent elements with the same or similar functions. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless otherwise specified.

[0026] The word “exemplary” is used exclusively herein to mean “serving as an example, example, or illustration.” Any embodiment described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments.

[0027] In addition, in order to better illustrate the present application, numerous specific details are provided in the specific embodiments below. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application can also be implemented without certain specific details. In some examples, methods, means, and elements well known to those skilled in the art are not described in detail in order to highlight the subject matter of the present application.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 9 In an embodiment of the utility model, a clay machine toy includes a base 1, an outer cover 2, a through groove 201, a shaping auxiliary part 3, a shaping track 303, a shaping actuator 4, a limit block 402, and a turntable 5.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,include;

[0030] It comprises a base 1 and an outer cover 2 detachably mounted on the base 1, a driving source is mounted on the inner side of the base 1, a driving end of the driving source protrudes from the base 1, and a turntable 5 for placing clay blanks is detachably mounted on the driving end of the driving source;

[0031] A through slot 201 is formed on one side of the outer cover 2, and a shaping auxiliary member 3 is detachably installed in the through slot 201, and a shaping track 303 is formed on a side of the shaping auxiliary member 3 away from the outer cover 2;

[0032] It also includes a shaping actuator 4 , on which a limiting block 402 is formed. The shaping actuator 4 passes through the shaping auxiliary component 3 and extends into the outer cover 2 . The limiting block 402 abuts against the shaping track 303 .

[0033] Specifically, the outer cover 2 is made of a transparent acrylic plate to facilitate the user to observe the shape of the clay inside the outer cover 2 during shaping, wherein an annular plug is provided at the bottom of the outer cover 2, and an annular groove adapted to the annular plug is formed on the base 1, and the annular plug is inserted into the annular groove to realize a detachable connection between the outer cover 2 and the base 1, thereby preventing the movement of the outer cover 2 during shaping from affecting the work of the shaping actuator 4.

[0034] Of course, the above-mentioned driving source can be a motor, which drives the turntable 5 to rotate through the set motor. The motor is connected to a control unit, and the rotation of the motor is controlled by the control unit. When the motor needs to stop rotating, it is necessary to control the control unit again. The control unit includes but is not limited to the control buttons and integrated circuit boards installed on the base 1. The method of controlling the motor belongs to conventional design, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0035] It should be noted that the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the connecting block rotatably installed on the base 1, and the connecting block and the turntable 5 are connected by hexagonal crimping. A hexagonal protrusion is provided on the connecting block, and a hexagonal groove matching the protrusion is provided on the bottom of the turntable 5. One hexagonal structure is inserted into another hexagonal structure to realize a detachable connection between the connecting block and the turntable 5, and the firmness and stability of the connection can be ensured during the connection.

[0036] In detail, in this embodiment, the clay machine toy described in the utility model is adopted. When in use, the turntable 5 is controlled to rotate by a driving source. Under the cooperation of the shaping auxiliary part 3, the shaping actuator 4 is inserted into the outer cover 2 and moves relative to the shaping auxiliary part 3 to shape the clay on the turntable 5. In addition, the shaping tracks 303 of different shapes can be replaced to shape clay of different shapes, so as to realize the diversification of clay shaping.

[0037] See also Figure 3 The two ends of the shaping auxiliary component 3 are respectively provided with a spring piece 301 and a clamping block 302, and a clamping groove is formed on the spring piece 301, and the clamping groove is clamped with a buckle 202 arranged on the outer cover 2, and the clamping block 302 is inserted into a slot 203 formed on the outer cover 2.

[0038] When installing the above-mentioned shaping auxiliary part 3, first insert the card block 302 into the slot 203, and then press the spring piece 301, the spring piece 301 is compressed so that the card slot on the spring piece 301 is engaged with the buckle 202 on the outer cover 2, and stop pressing the spring piece 301 after the connection, so that the spring piece 301 is in a compressed state when connected to the outer cover 2, so as to realize the detachable connection between the shaping auxiliary part 3 and the outer cover 2, and realize the tight connection between the shaping auxiliary part 3 and the outer cover 2, reducing the possibility of loosening and shaking.

[0039] Among them, the shaping tracks 303 on different shaping auxiliary parts 3 have different shapes. According to the shape of the clay to be shaped, the shaping track 303 can adopt half of the outline of the clay shape plane. For example, when the clay is to be shaped like a gourd, the track shape of the shaping track 303 is generated by half of the outline of the gourd-shaped plane. When the user wants to freely shape, the shaping auxiliary part 3 can be removed from the outer cover 2.

[0040] Exemplarily, the shaping actuator 4 includes a connecting rod 401, and a profiling member 403 is detachably mounted on the end of the connecting rod 401, so that different types of profiling members 403 can be replaced. For details, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 When shaping the clay, under the action of the same shaping track 303, clay shapes with different patterns can also be shaped.

[0041] Preferably, the end of the limit block 402 is arranged in an arc-shaped structure, and when the limit block 402 abuts against the shaping track 303, they are in linear contact, so as to reduce the friction area between the limit block 402 and the shaping track 303, and can improve the smoothness of the movement of the connecting rod 401.

[0042] See also Figure 5 The clay machine toy also includes a sleeve 6, an inner side of the sleeve 6 is formed with an embedded groove for the turntable 5 to be clamped, and the inner side of the sleeve 6 located on the side of the connecting surface of the turntable 5 forms a cylindrical cavity for the initial plasticization of the clay blank, wherein, during the initial shaping, a layer of plastic gasket is arranged between the sleeve 6 and the clay blank, and before assembly, the plastic gasket is twisted into a ring shape and inserted into the cylindrical cavity of the sleeve 6 to avoid direct contact between the clay blank and the sleeve 6, resulting in the clay blank adhering to the inner wall of the sleeve 6 during demolding.

[0043] Preferably, the sleeve 6 includes two symmetrically arranged half shells. After the two half shells are butt-jointed, a limiting sleeve 7 is sleeved on the outside of the sleeve 6 for limiting. During demoulding, after removing the limiting sleeve 7, the two half shells can be easily removed from the turntable 5 to avoid affecting the shape of the clay blank.

[0044] It should be noted that: during the initial shaping, after the clay blank is inserted into the sleeve 6, an extrusion sleeve 8 needs to be installed on the top of the sleeve 6. A through hole is formed in the extrusion sleeve 8 for the support rod 9 to pass through the through hole and be inserted into the clay blank in the sleeve 6. The through hole is arranged along the axial direction of the sleeve 6. The extrusion sleeve 8 plays a limiting role and prevents the clay blank from being squeezed outward when the support rod 9 is inserted.

[0045] Before starting the shaping work, the sleeve 6, the limiting sleeve 7 and the extrusion sleeve 8 need to be removed, while the support rod 9 continues to be inserted into the clay to prevent the clay on the upper surface from being deformed by the centrifugal force when the turntable 5 rotates.

[0046] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0047] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
