Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of toys, and particularly relates to a maze toy. Background Art
[0002] Maze toys usually have winding and complex maze paths. The operator needs to control a rolling small ball to find the correct path from multiple winding and complex maze paths, so that the small ball can reach the end smoothly and complete the maze challenge. Therefore, maze toys can fully exercise the flexibility, coordination and patience of the operator in using both hands and brain.
[0003] Usually in the market, small maze toys are sold as children's toys or handicrafts. These maze toys are small in size and light in weight. The operator holds them in hand to play with, making the small ball reach the end smoothly and complete the maze challenge. They can only play the role of intellectual entertainment and hand-brain cooperation, and cannot fully make the user move, achieving a high degree of cooperation between the brain and hands and feet. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present utility model provides a maze toy, aiming to increase the game interest and fully exercise the body coordination of the user.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A maze toy, a maze disk is arranged above a base. A universal joint connection is formed between the middle part of the bottom surface of the maze disk and the middle part of the base. A floating support is provided between the base and the maze disk, and the floating support surrounds the universal joint connection part between the maze disk and the base.
[0007] In the above solution, a universal joint connection is formed between the middle part of the bottom surface of the maze disk and the middle part of the base. A floating support is provided between the base and the maze disk, and the floating support surrounds the universal joint connection part between the maze disk and the base. The operator can press on any circumferential side of the maze disk to tilt the maze disk to control the rolling direction of the ball, which can increase the game interest and fully exercise the body coordination of the user. Brief Description of the Drawings
[0008] Figure 1 、 2 is a cross-sectional view of the present utility model.
[0009] Figure 3 is a top view of the base in the present utility model. Detailed Embodiment
[0010] A maze toy, above the base 10 is arranged a maze disk 20. A universal joint connection is formed between the middle of the bottom surface of the maze disk 20 where the maze path is arranged on the top surface and the middle of the base 10. A floating support 40 is provided between the base 10 and the maze disk 20, and the floating support 40 surrounds the universal joint connection part between the maze disk 20 and the base 10.
[0011] In the above solution, a maze disk 20 is arranged above the base 10. A maze path is provided on the maze disk 20. A universal joint connection is formed between the middle of the bottom surface of the maze disk 20 and the middle of the base 10. Therefore, the maze disk 20 can swing relative to the base 10. By the swing of the maze disk 20, the small ball in the maze on the maze disk 20 rolls in the maze path. At the same time, a floating support 40 is provided between the base 10 and the maze disk 20, and the floating support 40 surrounds the universal joint connection part between the maze disk 20 and the base 10. When a downward force is applied to any side in the circumferential direction of the maze disk 20, the floating support 40 can make that side maintain an upward movement trend, so that the maze disk 20 is reset. In actual operation, the operator can press any side in the circumferential direction of the maze disk 20 to make the maze disk 20 tilt to control the rolling direction of the small ball. By pressing at different places in the circumferential direction of the maze disk 20, the small ball in the maze on the maze disk 20 rolls in the maze path to find the correct path. In this process, not only the coordination of the user's body is exercised, but also both eyes focus on completing the operation of the game, increasing the interest of the game, and fully exercising the body coordination of the user.
[0012] Preferably, the base 10 is bowl-shaped, the maze disk 20 is disk-shaped, the center of the maze disk 20 and the center of the upper bowl mouth of the base 10 are vertically aligned, the disk diameter of the maze disk 20 is larger than the aperture diameter of the upper bowl mouth of the base 10, and an elastic sleeve is provided at the edge of the upper bowl mouth of the base 10 to form the floating support 40.
[0013] In the above solution, the base 10 is bowl-shaped and the maze disk 20 is disk-shaped. The arc-shaped contour can prevent the operator from being bumped and injured by the corners during the game. And the base 10 and the maze disk 20 are designed to match in a circular shape, with the center of the disk and the center of the bowl mouth vertically aligned, which is convenient for the user to press and control at different places in the circumferential direction. At the same time, the disk diameter of the maze disk 20 is larger than the aperture diameter of the upper bowl mouth of the base 10, and the upper bowl mouth of the base 10 can be located on the swing path of the maze disk 20, which can prevent the swing amplitude of the maze disk 20 from being too large.
[0014] Furthermore, for the convenience of setting the floating support 40, a flanging 11 is provided inward at the edge of the upper bowl mouth of the base 10. The upper end of the floating support 40 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the maze disk 2, and the lower end of the floating support 40 is fixedly connected to the upper plate surface of the flanging 11.
[0015] Preferably, a T-shaped rod holder 12 is arranged in the bowl cavity of the base 10. The cross bar 121 of the T-shaped rod holder 12 is radially arranged at the bowl mouth of the base 10. The vertical rod 122 of the T-shaped rod holder 12 stands at the position of the bowl core line of the base 10 and the lower end of the vertical rod 122 is supported at the center position of the bowl bottom of the base 10. A support plate 13 is provided at the center position of the upper end bowl mouth of the cross bar 121 of the T-shaped rod holder 12. A universal joint 30 is placed on the support plate 13 and is connected to the middle part of the bottom surface of the labyrinth disc 20 to form a universal joint connection.
[0016] In the above solution, the T-shaped rod holder 12 is located in the bowl cavity of the base 10 and provides support for the bowl cavity structure of the base 10. The cross bar 121 of the T-shaped rod holder 12 is radially arranged at the bowl mouth of the base 10. The vertical rod 122 stands at the position of the bowl core line of the base 10 to provide support for the cross bar 121. The support plate 13 is arranged on the cross bar 121 to provide support for the universal joint 30. Of course, further, two groups of T-shaped rod holders 12 can be arranged in parallel in the bowl cavity of the base 10, and the two sides of the support plate 13 are respectively fixed on the cross bars 121 of the T-shaped rod holders 12, which can provide more stable support.
[0017] Preferably, on the inner side of the bowl wall of the base 10, a reinforcing pipe 14 is arranged along the generatrix direction of the bowl wall. The two ends of the cross bar 121 of the T-shaped rod holder 12 are fixedly connected to the reinforcing pipe 14.
[0018] In the above solution, the bowl-shaped base 10 can be regarded as a surface of revolution, and its generatrix is a curve or an approximate straight line. For example Figure 1 、 2 In the shown example, on the inner side of the bowl wall of the base 10, an arc-shaped reinforcing pipe 14 is arranged along the generatrix direction of the bowl wall, which strengthens the structural strength of the base 10. At the same time, the two ends of the cross bar 121 are fixedly connected to the reinforcing pipe 14, and the reinforcing pipe 14 provides reinforcement for the two ends of the cross bar 121, enhancing the structural strength of the T-shaped rod holder 12.
[0019] Furthermore, in order to improve the support effect, the floating support 40 is an elastic rubber sleeve, and its sleeve core is in the vertical direction and the sleeve body is in a bellows shape.
