[0023] The present application provides a hand-cranked building block carousel, comprising a base, a rocker arranged on the outside of the base, a rotatable main body and a first gear fixed and horizontally arranged on the upper part of the base, the rocker drives the main body to rotate through a transmission structure, and the main body is circumferentially equipped with a model part that rotates with the main body, the model part and the main body are connected by a reciprocating structure, the model part rotates around the first gear and cooperates with the first gear through the reciprocating structure, so that the model part performs up and down reciprocating motion when rotating.

[0024] Implementation example Figures 1-2 As shown, a hand-cranked building block carousel includes a base 1 and a rotatable main body 2 arranged on the base 1. A rocker 1.1 is arranged on the outside of the base 1, and the rocker 1.1 drives the main body 2 to rotate through a transmission structure. Four model parts 3 that rotate with the main body 2 are equidistantly installed on the main body 2 along the circumference. The model parts 3 are connected to the main body 2 through a reciprocating structure transmission, so that the model parts 3 can perform up and down reciprocating motion while rotating with the main body 2.

[0025] Furthermore, a first gear 1.2 is fixedly provided on the upper part of the main body 2 and is arranged horizontally. The first gear 1.2 is located in the middle of the main body 2, and the model part 3 rotates around the first gear 1.2 through a reciprocating structure located on the upper part of the main body 2.

[0026] Specifically, the reciprocating structure includes a second gear 4.1, a first connecting rod 4.2, and a second connecting rod 4.3. The second gear 4.1 is rotatably fixed to the main body 2 and rotates with the main body 2 around the first gear 1.2. The rotation axis of the second gear 4.1 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first gear 1.2 and meshes with the first gear 1.2. One end of the first connecting rod 4.2 is fixedly connected to the second gear 4.1 and rotates synchronously with it. The other end of the first connecting rod 4.2 is hinged to the second connecting rod 4.3. The other end of the second connecting rod 4.3 is hinged to the mold member 3.

[0027] Specifically, a downwardly extending positioning rod 3.1 is provided at the lower end of the model part 3, and a longitudinally penetrating positioning sleeve 2.1 extends from the lower end of the main body 2 toward the positioning rod 3.1. The positioning rod 3.1 can be movably sleeved up and down in the positioning sleeve 2.1 to realize the positioning of the model part 3, so that the model part 3 only moves up and down without deviation.

[0028] When the main body 2 rotates, the second gear 4.1 rotates around the first gear 1.2. Simultaneously, due to the meshing of the second gear 4.1 with the first gear 1.2, the second gear 4.1 rotates on its own, and the first connecting rod 4.2, fixedly connected to the second gear 4.1, rotates synchronously with the second gear 4.1. Simultaneously, due to the cooperation of the second connecting rod 4.3, the model 3, driven by the first connecting rod 4.2, performs an up-and-down reciprocating motion. The cooperation between the positioning rod 3.1 and the positioning sleeve 2.1 prevents the model 3 from deflecting during this up-and-down reciprocating motion.

[0029] Specifically, the model part 3 can be various animal models or car models, etc., and is not limited to a wooden horse.

[0030] Furthermore, the transmission structure includes a transmission gear disposed within the base 1 and a rotating gear 2.2 disposed at the bottom of the main body 2 and fixedly connected to the main body 2. The rotating shaft of the rotating gear 2.2 is perpendicular to the base 1, and the rotating shafts of the transmission gears are all perpendicular to the rotating shaft of the rotating gear 2.2. The transmission gears include a first transmission gear 5.1, a second transmission gear 5.2, and a third transmission gear 5.3. The second transmission gear 5.2 is coaxial with the rocker 1.1 and rotates synchronously. The third transmission gear 5.3 meshes with the second transmission gear 5.2. The first transmission gear 5.1 and the third transmission gear 5.3 are coaxial with each other and rotate synchronously. The first transmission gear 5.1 meshes with the rotating gear 2.2. Rotating the rocker 1.1 drives the third transmission gear 5.3 to rotate via the second transmission gear 5.2. The third transmission gear 5.3 drives the first transmission gear 5.1 to rotate. The first transmission gear 5.1 drives the rotating gear 2.2 to rotate, thereby driving the main body 2 to rotate.

[0031] Specifically, the diameter of the third transmission gear 5.3 is larger than that of the second transmission gear 5.2, thereby reducing the speed of the transmission structure.

[0032] Specifically, the first transmission gear 5.1 and the rotating gear 2.2 are bevel gears.

[0033] Specifically, each of the above structures can be composed of building blocks or assembled from building blocks.

[0034] Those skilled in the art should understand that the various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
