DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model is further described below:

[0023] See also Figure 1-4 ,

[0024] Example 1: Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a toy that can automatically flip, including a flip shell 1, a ball 2 and a flip track 3. The flip shell 1 has a hollow rectangular structure, and the cross-sectional width of its inner cavity is greater than the outer diameter of the ball 2; the flip track 3 forms an acute angle with the horizontal direction, and the flip shell 1 can be driven by the movement of the ball 2 to flip along the surface of the flip track 3. In this embodiment, the ball 2 rolls from top to bottom in the inner cavity of the flip shell 1, and its impact force can be converted into a rotational force that drives the upper end of the flip shell 1 to rotate around its bottom angle, so that the flip shell 1 can continuously roll along the flip track 3. Under normal circumstances, if a square shell is placed on an inclined track, children will slide along the track according to their cognition. However, the flip shell 1 of this embodiment can roll along the flip track 3, which can attract children's curiosity. The flipping process of the flip shell 1 is full of various mechanical knowledge, which can open children's minds and enable them to learn and explore knowledge. In addition, the toy has a simple structure and is easy to make. Children can make it themselves, which can improve their hands-on ability.

[0025] Furthermore, the flip shell 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12. The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are square structures with square grooves 13 of the same cross-section on the inner end surfaces. A connecting plate 14 is provided above the inner end wall of the first shell 11 and below the inner end wall of the second shell 12. The connecting plate 14 is a square structure, and its width is smaller than the width of the first shell 11 or the second shell 12; the inner end of the lower surface of the first shell 11 and the inner end of the upper surface of the second shell 12 are respectively provided with a connecting groove 15 that matches the shape of the connecting plate 14. The connecting plate 14 on the first shell 11 and the connecting groove 15 on the second shell 12, as well as the connecting plate 14 on the second shell 12 and the connecting groove 15 on the first shell 12 are connected by a connecting mechanism 4. During installation, the connecting plate 14 on the first shell 11 is inserted into the connecting groove 15 on the second shell 12, and the connecting plate 14 on the second shell 12 is inserted into the connecting groove 15 on the first shell 11, and then the connecting plate 14 and the connecting groove 15 are connected by the connecting mechanism 4, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the flip shell 1 and the insertion and removal of the sphere 2.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting mechanism 4 includes a connecting hole 41, a threaded hole 42 and a connecting bolt 43. The connecting hole 41 is arranged on both sides of the outer end of the connecting groove 15, and the threaded hole 42 is arranged on both sides of the outer end of the connecting plate 14. After the connecting bolt 43 is passed through the connecting hole 41 and threadedly connected with the threaded hole 42, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be connected, and installation and disassembly are very convenient; in addition, this connection method is also convenient for installing the first flip rod 44 and the second flip rod 45 in Example 2.

[0027] Furthermore, the flip track 3 is an inclined plane, and the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal direction is 15°-45°, ensuring that the sphere 2 can drive the flip housing 1 to flip on the inclined plane.

[0028] Furthermore, both the surface of the inclined plane and the surface of the flip housing 1 are provided with anti-slip grooves, so that the static friction between the two is larger, which enables the flip housing 1 to flip better on the inclined plane instead of sliding.

[0029] Furthermore, the length of the flip shell 1 is 2-10 times the outer diameter of the sphere 2; the mass of the sphere 2 is more than 4 times that of the flip shell 1, ensuring that the sphere 2 can drive the flip shell 1 to flip.

[0030] Furthermore, the thickness of the two side walls of the flip housing 1 is 1.5-3 times the thickness of the upper and lower walls, which can make the flip housing 1 more stable during the flipping process.

[0031] Example 2: The same points as Example 1 are not described in detail here. The difference is that Figure 4As shown, the outer end of the connecting bolt 43 above the outer wall of the second shell 12 is connected to the first flip rod 44, and the outer end of the connecting bolt 43 below the outer wall of the first shell 11 is connected to the second flip rod 45; the flip track 3 includes side panels 32, a bottom panel 33 and a support column 34, and the two side panels 32 are arranged on both sides of the flip shell 1, and the front end wall of the side panel 32 is a stepped structure composed of a plurality of support platforms 321 and inclined walls 322. The support platforms 321 are arranged along the horizontal direction for placing the flip rod 44, and the inclined walls 322 form an acute angle with the horizontal direction. Adjacent inclined walls 322 are arranged in parallel and are respectively connected to the rear end top and front end bottom of the support platforms 321; the length of the inclined wall 322 is equal to the distance between the two flip rods 44 on the same side; the bottoms of the two side panels 32 are connected by the bottom panel 33 placed on the ground, and the tops of the two side panels 32 are connected by the support column 34.

[0032] The playing method of the toy in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the first flip rod 44 are placed on the uppermost support platform 321, and the second flip rod 45 is placed on the next support platform 321. At this time, the sphere 2 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the first shell 11. Since the flip shell 1 is in an inclined state at this time, the gravity of the sphere 2 generates a rotational force that drives the flip shell 1 to rotate counterclockwise with the second flip rod 45 as the axis until the first flip rod 44 rotates to the connection between the lower support platform 321 and the inclined wall 322, stopping its rotation. At this time, due to the rolling impact force of the sphere 2 rolling from the top to the bottom of the flip shell 1 and its gravity, the flip shell 1 is driven to rotate counterclockwise with the first flip rod 44 as the axis, and this cycle is repeated until the flip shell 1 flips to the bottom of the stepped structure, which can attract children's curiosity. The flipping process of the flip shell is full of various mechanical knowledge, which can open children's minds and enable them to learn and explore knowledge. In addition, the toy has a simple structure and is easy to make. Children can make it themselves, which can improve their hands-on ability.

[0033] Furthermore, the support column 34 has a square structure, and its front end wall is provided with a fixing groove 35. The bottom of the support column 34 is placed on the ground, and its lower surface is flush with the lower surface of the bottom plate 33, ensuring that the lower surfaces of the support column 34 and the bottom plate 33 are in the same horizontal plane, so that they can be stably placed on the ground, ensuring that the flip shell 1 can be stably supported when it is flipped along the stepped structure; the upper inner walls on both sides of the fixing groove 35 are fixedly connected to the upper outer walls of the two side panels 32 respectively, ensuring that the two side panels 32 will not shake during use.

[0034] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention or directly or indirectly applied in the relevant technical field shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
