[0061] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a ball pushing mechanism, which includes a housing 1, a pushing member 2 and an electric drive assembly. The housing 1 has a cavity 11 and a communication port 12 communicating with the cavity 11. The pushing member 2 is slidably disposed in the cavity 11. An elastic member 4 is disposed between the pushing member 2 and the interior of the housing 1. The pushing member 2 can extend out of the communication port 12 or retract from the communication port 12 into the cavity 11. The electric drive assembly is disposed in the cavity 11. The electric drive assembly is in transmission cooperation with the pushing member 2, and the electric drive assembly can drive the pushing member to slide. The ball pushing mechanism has a standby state, a pushing state and a return state. In the standby state, the pushing member 2 retracts into the cavity 11, the electric drive assembly locks the position of the pushing member 2, and the elastic member 4 is in a compressed state. In the pushing state, the electric drive assembly releases the pushing member 2, and the elastic member 4 elastically releases and pushes the pushing member 2 to extend out of the communication port 12. In the return state, the drive assembly drives the pushing member 2 to retract into the communication port 12. The ball pushing mechanism provided by the present application is provided with an electric drive assembly. After the pushing member 2 is released and ejected, the electric drive assembly can drive the pushing member 2 to automatically reset the pushing member 2, preparing for the next pushing of the toy ball. The ball pushing mechanism of the present application can achieve full-automatic operation internally for several operating states of the pushing member 2, without manual operation by the player, greatly improving the interaction effect between the player and the present ball pushing mechanism, and further greatly enhancing the fun during play, so that the player can maintain interest in the present mechanism for a longer time.

[0062] When the ball pushing mechanism provided by the present application operates, the ball pushing mechanism is triggered by a toy ball or the like, the drive assembly operates, enters the pushing state, the electric drive assembly releases the pushing member 2, and under the action of the elastic member 4, the pushing member 2 pops out of the communication port 12 to achieve the ball pushing action. The drive assembly continues to operate, enters the return state, the drive assembly drives the pushing member 2 to retract into the communication port 12, and the elastic member 4 is gradually compressed. Then the drive assembly stops operating, enters the standby state, the drive assembly locks the position of the pushing member 2, and the elastic member 4 is in a compressed state, preparing for the next trigger.

[0063] In some possible embodiments, the electric drive assembly includes a motor 31 and a gear train, both of which are disposed within the housing 1. The motor 31 is drivingly connected to the input gear 33 of the gear train. The output gear 32 of the gear train is provided with a toothed portion 321, and the ejection member 2 is provided with a rack portion 25. In the standby state, the toothed portion 321 and the rack portion 25 are engaged, and the motor 31 is stationary. In the return state, the motor 31 drives the output gear 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the ejection member 2 to slide, retracting it from the communication port 12 into the cavity 11. In the ejection state, the motor 31 drives the output gear 32 to rotate until the toothed portion 321 disengages the rack portion 25 of the ejection member 2, causing the ball-pushing mechanism to switch to the ejection state. Under the action of the elastic member 4, the end of the ejection member 2 is ejected from the communication port 12. The gear train may be a reduction gear train to reduce the output speed of the motor 31 to a suitable speed. The rack extends along the length of the ejector 2, and the output gear 32 cooperates with the rack portion 25 on the ejector 2 to convert the rotation of the motor 31 into linear motion along the length of the ejector 2, thereby resetting the ejector 2. The motor 31 is a self-locking type. When the motor 31 stops rotating, the motor 31 shaft 13 is self-locked and cannot rotate in any direction, thus ensuring a stable locked state.

[0064] In some possible implementations, an arc-shaped plate 322 is provided on the output-end gear 32, and the tooth-engaging portion 321 and the arc-shaped plate 322 are sequentially provided along the circumferential edge of the output-end gear 32. The arc-shaped plate 322 is provided with an outer convex arc surface on the side facing the ejection member 2, and in the ejection state, the outer convex arc surface contacts the rack portion 25. When the tooth-engaging portion 321 contacts the rack portion 25, the tooth-engaging portion 321 meshes with the rack, and the output gear controls the movement of the ejection member 2 through the rack. When the output gear rotates until the outer convex arc surface contacts the rack portion 25, the outer convex arc surface and the rack portion 25 do not mesh. When the meshing is disengaged, the ejection member 2 slides along the outer convex arc surface under the elastic force of the elastic member 4, and then pops out of the communication port 12, achieving the ejection action.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, the tooth-engaging portion 321 includes a plurality of protruding shafts 3211, each of which is spaced apart along the edge of the output gear 32. The protruding shafts 3211 mesh with the teeth of the rack, and the protruding shafts 3211 can be used to move the ejector 2 by shifting the rack. The protruding shafts 3211 are configured to cooperate with the rack, and the protruding shafts 3211 are strong and durable, and are not easily deformed or damaged. Preferably, the toothed disc, protruding shafts 3211, and curved plate 322 of the output gear 32 are integrally formed, which is easy to manufacture, not easily damaged, and has a long service life.

[0066] In some possible embodiments, the ball pushing mechanism includes a trigger member 5, which is movably arranged in the cavity 11, and a part of the trigger member 5 extends out of the communication port 12. In the standby state, under the action of an external force, the trigger member 5 moves, which can trigger the motor 31 to be powered on. The motor 31 drives the output end gear 32 to rotate until the tooth meshing portion 321 disengages from the rack portion 25, so that the ball pushing mechanism switches to the pushing state. By transmitting the external impact and pushing to the inside of the cavity 11 through the trigger member 5 to conduct the motor 31, and setting the trigger point of the motor 31 and the like inside the housing 1, the outside of the housing 1 can be made simple and beautiful. The housing 1 can also protect the internal structure, prevent collision damage, and extend the service life.

[0067] In some possible embodiments, the ball pushing mechanism includes a switch 6, the switch 6 is electrically connected to the motor 31, the trigger member 5 is hinged to the housing 1 through a rotating shaft 13, and a trigger post 51 is arranged on the trigger member 5. In the standby state, under the action of an external force, the trigger member 5 rotates, and the trigger post 51 contacts and presses the switch 6. In the standby state, the trigger post 51 leaves the switch 6, the switch 6 is disconnected, and the motor 31 does not rotate. When an external force pushes the trigger member 5 away from one end of the trigger post 51, the trigger member 5 rotates, and the trigger post 51 arranged at the other end of the trigger member 5 presses the switch 6, the switch 6 is closed, and the motor 31 rotates, entering the pushing state.

[0068] In some possible embodiments, a first arc groove 323 and a second arc groove 324 are arranged on the output end gear 32, the second arc groove 324 is communicated with the first arc groove 323, the first arc groove 323 and the second arc groove 324 form a closed ring, and the width of the second arc groove 324 is greater than the width of the first arc groove 323. The trigger member 5 has a mating shaft 52, and a torsion spring 7 is arranged between the trigger member 5 and the housing 1. In the standby state, the mating shaft 52 is located in the second arc groove 324, and under the action of the torsion spring 7, there is a gap between the trigger post 51 and the switch 6. Under the action of an external force, the pushing member 2 rotates, so that the mating shaft 52 moves towards the center side of the driving gear, and the trigger post 51 contacts the switch 6. In the return state, the mating shaft 52 is located in the first arc groove 323, and the trigger post 51 and the switch 6 remain in contact. The motor 31 continues to rotate, and the mating shaft 52 moves from the first circular groove into the second arc groove 324 until the rotating mating shaft 52 is located in the second arc groove 324. Under the action of the torsion spring 7, the trigger post 51 leaves the switch 6 again, the switch 6 is disconnected, the motor 31 stops running, and enters the standby state again.

[0069] Among them, the motor 31 is an electric motor 31. Press the switch 6, then the circuit is connected and the motor 31 rotates; do not press the switch 6, then the circuit is disconnected and the motor 31 does not rotate.

[0070] In some possible implementation solutions, the ejecting member 2 includes an end body 21, a middle strip 22, and side strips 23 disposed on both sides of the middle strip 22. The middle strip 22 and the side strips 23 are both connected to the end body 21. The end body 21 can extend out of the communication port 12 or retract from the communication port 12 into the cavity 11. The elastic member 4 includes a spring, and one end of the spring is sleeved on the middle strip 22. Limiting claws 24 are disposed on both of the two side strips 23, and the limiting claws 24 on the two side strips 23 extend in opposite directions. A blocking portion 15 is disposed inside the housing 1. In the ejecting state, when the ejecting member 2 extends out of the communication port 12 to the limit position, the limiting claws 24 abut against the blocking portion 15. The spring is sleeved on the middle strip 22, which can ensure that the elastic force is always applied along the length direction of the ejecting member 2, and ensure that the running track of the ejecting member 2 is accurate when it is ejected. The two limiting claws 24 limit the ejecting member 2 at the communication port 12 to prevent the ejecting member 2 from completely popping out of the communication port 12 and ensure the normal operation of subsequent actions.

[0071] In some possible implementation solutions, guide ribs 14 are disposed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the guide ribs 14 extend into the gap between the middle strip 22 and the side strips 23. When the ejecting member 2 ejects and retracts, the guide ribs 14 slide along the gap. The guide ribs 14 limit the ejecting track and the retracting track of the ejecting member 2 to ensure that the action track of the ejecting member 2 is accurate and there is no jamming phenomenon.

[0072] Embodiment 2: Refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a ball-pushing toy, which includes a shaped outer shell 200 and the ball-pushing mechanism 100 as described in Embodiment 1.

When the toy ball rolls into the concave cavity 201, it can touch the ejecting member 2 extending out of the communication port 12, and the ball-pushing mechanism 100 can operate to push the ball out of the concave cavity 201. Since the ball-pushing toy in this embodiment uses the ball-pushing mechanism 100 described in Embodiment 1, after the ejecting member 2 is released and ejected, the electric drive assembly can drive the ejecting member 2 to automatically reset the ejecting member 2 to prepare for the next ball-pushing operation. The ball-pushing mechanism 100 of the present application can internally realize the full-automatic operation of several operating states of the ejecting member 2 without manual operation by the player, greatly improving the interaction effect between the player and the ball-pushing mechanism 100 of the present application, and further greatly enhancing the fun during play, so that the time for the player to maintain interest in this mechanism can be prolonged.
