[0026] This application provides a building block toy for simulating celestial body movement, including a base, a gear set arranged in the base, a rocker arranged on the side of the base and in transmission connection with the gear set, and a celestial body structure arranged on the upper part of the base and in transmission connection with the gear set to achieve rotation; the celestial body structure includes a first celestial body, a second celestial body and a third celestial body that are in transmission connection with each other. A rotatable first rotating shaft is arranged at the output end of the gear set. The first celestial body is fixedly arranged on the first rotating shaft to achieve self-rotation. The second celestial body revolves around the first celestial body and simultaneously rotates itself. The third celestial body moves synchronously following the rotation of the second celestial body. At the same time, the third celestial body follows the second celestial body to move around the first celestial body.
[0027] As shown in the embodiment Figures 1 to 3 A building block toy for simulating celestial body movement includes a base 1, a gear set arranged in the base 1, a rocker 2 arranged on the side of the base 1 and in transmission connection with the gear set, and a celestial body structure arranged on the upper part of the base 1 and in transmission connection with the gear set to achieve rotation.
[0028] Furthermore, a first rotating shaft 3.1 which can rotate synchronously is provided at the output end of the gear set, and the first rotating shaft 3.1 is located in the middle area of the base 1 and extends vertically upward. The gear set includes an input gear 3.2, a fifth transmission gear 3.3, a first bevel gear 3.4 and a second bevel gear 3.5 located inside the base 1, the input gear 3.2 is connected to the rocker 2 and driven to rotate by the rocker 2, the fifth transmission gear 3.3 is located inside the base 1 and meshes with the input gear 3.2, the first bevel gear 3.4 is coaxially arranged with the fifth transmission gear 3.3 and rotates synchronously with the fifth transmission gear 3.3, the second bevel gear 3.5 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 3.1 and meshes with the first bevel gear 3.4, and the rotating axes of the second bevel gear 3.5 and the first bevel gear 3.4 are perpendicular to each other.
[0029] Specifically, the diameter and the number of teeth of the fifth transmission gear 3.3 are greater than those of the input gear 3.2, so as to achieve a deceleration effect.
[0030] Further, the star structure includes a first star 4.1, a second star 4.2 and a third star 4.3 which are connected to each other in a transmission manner, and a first connecting member 4.4 for carrying the second star 4.2 and the third star 4.3. The first star 4.1 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the first rotating shaft 3.1, and realizes self-rotation through the rotation of the first rotating shaft 3.1. The first rotating shaft 3.1 is provided with a sleeve 5 which can rotate relative to it, and the lower end of the sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to a fourth transmission gear 6 which is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 3.1, and the upper end of the sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to a first connecting member 4.4 which is extended in a direction away from the first rotating shaft 3.1, and in this application, the first connecting member 4.4 is perpendicular to the first rotating shaft 3.1. The second star 4.2 and the third star 4.3 are arranged on the first connecting member 4.4, and the first connecting member 4.4 can drive the second star 4.2 and the third star 4.3 to revolve around the first star 4.1 when the first star 4.1 rotates.
[0031] Specifically, the fourth transmission gear 6 is located at the upper part of the base 1 and meshes with the input gear 3.2 of the gear set. When the input gear 3.2 drives the first rotating shaft 3.1 to rotate, the fourth transmission gear 6 is also synchronously driven to rotate and drives the first connecting member 4.4 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 3.1 through the shaft sleeve 5. Since the fifth transmission gear 3.3 is located at the lower end of the input gear 3.2 and the fourth transmission gear 6 is located at the upper end of the input gear 3.2, when the input gear 3.2 rotates, the direction in which the gear set drives the first rotating shaft 3.1 to rotate is opposite to the direction in which the fourth transmission gear 6 drives the first connecting member 4.4 to rotate around the first rotating shaft 3.1, thereby making the self-rotation direction of the first celestial body 4.1 opposite to the direction in which the second celestial body 4.2 revolves around the first celestial body 4.1, making the observation more intuitive.
[0032] Specifically, one end of the first connecting member 4.4 is fixedly connected to a bushing 5 sleeved on the first rotating shaft 3.1, and the other end is provided with a second rotating shaft 4.5 extending upward and parallel to the first rotating shaft 3.1. The second rotating shaft 4.5 is rotatably arranged on the first connecting member 4.4, and the second star body 4.2 is fixedly arranged on the second rotating shaft 4.5 to achieve self-rotation. A second connecting member 4.6 perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 4.5 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 4.5. The second connecting member 4.6 is relatively fixed to the second rotating shaft 4.5 in the circumferential direction. The other end of the second connecting member 4.6 is fixedly connected to a third star body 4.3. The third star body 4.3 is relatively fixed to the second star body 4.2 in the circumferential direction through the second connecting member 4.6. Therefore, when the second star body 4.2 rotates, it drives the third star body 4.3 to rotate synchronously with it in the circumferential direction.
[0033] Further, a first transmission gear 4.7 relatively fixed to the first rotating shaft 3.1 in the circumferential direction is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 3.1. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 3.1 can drive the first transmission gear 4.7 to rotate. A second transmission gear 4.8 that is rotatable and meshes with the first transmission gear 4.7 is arranged on the first connecting member 4.4. A third transmission gear 4.9 relatively fixed to the second rotating shaft 4.5 in the circumferential direction is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 4.5. The third transmission gear 4.9 meshes with the second transmission gear 4.8.
[0034] Working method and principle: When the output gear is rotated through the rocker 2, the output gear simultaneously drives the fourth transmission gear 6 and the first rotating shaft 3.1 at the output end of the gear set to rotate, thereby causing the first star body 4.1 and the connecting member carrying the second star body 4.2 and the third star body 4.3 to make synchronous rotations in opposite directions, and causing the second star body 4.2 and the third star body 4.3 to move around the first star body 4.1. When the first rotating shaft 3.1 drives the first star body 4.1 to rotate, through the cooperation of the first transmission gear 4.7, the second transmission gear 4.8, and the third transmission gear 4.9, the second star body 4.2 can rotate while revolving around the first star body 4.1 through the first connecting member 4.4. And since the third star body 4.3 is relatively fixed to the second star body 4.2 in the circumferential direction, the third star body 4.3 moves synchronously following the rotation of the second star body 4.2. At the same time, the third star body 4.3 follows the second star body 4.2 to move around the first star body 4.1.
[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as falling within the scope described in this specification.
[0036] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
