[0002] At present, the items used for intellectual toys in daily life have various structural variations. For example, Chinese patent CN215505449U provides a two-sided three-way magic disk, which connects multiple eccentric grooves through a central rotating seat. Rotating the central rotating seat can exchange the balls in the multiple eccentric grooves, so that the scrambled balls can be reset. When the magic disk is played in a new round, the central rotating seat is rotated in a random manner to move the balls in one eccentric groove to the other eccentric grooves, and then the ball ring is rotated to scatter them in the eccentric grooves and redistribute them. However, if the above-mentioned method of scrambling and resetting the ball positions is to fully scramble the positions of the balls, several rotation operations are required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, since it is a manual random rotation operation, it is difficult to ensure that the degree of scrambling and resetting the balls is sufficient. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a ball toy with a hybrid reset structure, including a base 100. The base 100 is provided with a plurality of grooves 101 in which the balls 10 are slidably mounted. The specific number of "plurality" is at least two. In this embodiment, the number of grooves 101 is ten. The ten grooves 101 are separated and arranged on two opposite sides of the base 100. The multiple grooves 101 on the same side are also separated and arranged at different positions on the side wall of the base 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the multiple grooves 101 can also be separated and arranged only on the same side of the base 100, or the multiple grooves 101 can also be separated and arranged only on different sides of the base 100.

[0031] The multiple grooves 101 that are separated from each other are connected by a rotating structure. Specifically, when playing the game, the rotating structure needs to be rotated to enable the ball 10 to move and change between the multiple grooves 101.

[0032] In this embodiment, the rotating structure includes a first rotating seat 200 rotatably connected to a side wall of the base 100, and a second rotating seat 300 rotatably connected between the two side walls of the base 100. The above-mentioned game objectives are achieved by rotating the first rotating seat 200 and the second rotating seat 300. In other embodiments of the present invention, the rotating structure may only include the first rotating groove 200. The rotating structure can be configured as a central rotating shaft. In this case, the base 100 includes multiple rotating bodies that can be relatively rotatably connected via the central rotating shaft, and a groove 101 is provided between at least two of the rotating bodies. The above-mentioned game objectives are achieved by relatively rotating the rotating bodies.

[0033] Based on the rotating structure of this embodiment, the base 100 of this embodiment is composed of two detachably connected main shells 110 to form a main body, and a decorative shell 120 is fixedly connected between the two main shells 110. On the one hand, the decorative shell 120 can improve the appearance and recognition of the base 100. On the other hand, a chamber can be opened in the decorative shell 120, so that a mixing chamber 102 that can be connected to the groove 101 is formed on the base 100. In other embodiments of the present invention, the decorative shell 120 can also be connected in a detachable manner, such as a snap connection, a magnetic connection, a plug-in connection, etc., to achieve connection with the main body of the base 100, that is, the mixing chamber 102 can be separated from the main body of the base 100. The base 100 may not be provided with a decorative shell 120. In this case, the mixing chamber 102 is arranged on the main body of the base 100.

[0034] It can be understood that each main shell 110 is provided with a through groove 130, a mounting groove 140, a mounting notch 150, a slide 160 and a connecting groove 170. The through groove 130 is opened on the outer wall of the main shell 110, and is used to communicate with the slide groove 210 on the first rotating seat 200 to form a closed groove 101. Since in this embodiment, three slide grooves 210 are spaced apart along the circumference on the first rotating seat 200, and each slide groove 210 is an arc-shaped groove with two ends through, the through groove 130 is also set as an arc-shaped groove with two ends through, and the through groove 130 and the slide groove 210 are combined to form a circular groove 101. Since in this embodiment, two first rotating seats 200 are adjacently connected to each main shell 110, and the slide grooves 210 on the two first rotating seats 200 can be connected and combined, the through groove 130 in this embodiment includes two groove bodies with different curvatures, namely the first groove body 131 and the second groove body 132. The first slot body 131 can be connected to one slide groove 210 to form the groove 101 , and the second slot body 132 can be connected to two slide grooves 210 to form the groove 101 .

[0035] In other embodiments of the present invention, if only one first rotating seat 200 is connected to each main housing 110, the through-slot 130 may include only the first slot body 131. Accordingly, the number of rotatably connected first rotating seats 200 on each main housing 110 may be three or more, and the through-slot 130 may accordingly include a third slot body that is connected to the three chute grooves 210. The number of chute grooves 210 on each first rotating seat 200 may also be adjusted to two or four or more, and accordingly, the first rotating seat 200 may also be configured as a ring structure. In this case, the slot body 131 may also include other types of slot bodies with different curvatures, which are used to connect with the corresponding chute grooves 210 to form a closed groove 101.

[0036] The number of mounting slots 140 is the same as the number of first rotating seats 200, and a first rotating seat 200 is rotatably connected to each mounting slot 140. Since, in this embodiment, the sidewall of the first rotating seat 200 is circumferentially provided with a gear ring 220, an opening 141 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting slot 140 at a position opposite the gear ring 220, allowing the elastic member 400 to pass through the opening 141 and engage with the gear ring 220. It is understood that the elastic member 400 is fixed to the interior of the base 100 (on the other side of the main housing 110 opposite the mounting slot 140) in correspondence with the gear ring 220. The elastic member 400 is a thin elastic plate member that collides with the gear ring 220 when it rotates, producing a sound. Thus, when the player rotates the first rotating seat 200 to play the game, a "clicking" sound is emitted, enhancing the fun of the game. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first rotating seat 200 may not be provided with the gear ring 220 . In this case, the mounting groove 140 is a closed groove structure. Correspondingly, the elastic member 400 may not be provided inside the base 100 .

[0037] The number of mounting notches 150 is the same as the number of second rotating seats 300. The mounting notches 150 of the two main shells 110 are combined to rotatably connect the second rotating seat 300 to the main body of the base 100. Since there are three second rotating seats 300 in this embodiment, the number of mounting notches 150 on each main shell 110 is also three. Two splicing grooves 310 are relatively opened on each second rotating seat 300. Each splicing groove 310 can be connected to the corresponding through groove 130, serving to connect the two grooves 101 located on different sides of the base 100, which can increase the playability of the toy. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of second rotating seats 300 and mounting notches 150 can also be set to one, two, or four or more.

[0038] The slide 160 is connected between the mixing chamber 102 and one of the grooves 101. In this embodiment, the number of slides 160 is the same as the number of the second rotating seat 300, which is four. It can be understood that the provision of multiple slides 160 can increase the number of grooves 101 connected to the mixing chamber 102, thereby increasing the speed at which the balls 10 in the grooves 101 enter the mixing chamber 102 and improving the mixing reset efficiency. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of slides 160 can be adjusted to one, two, three or more than five according to the setting position and number of the grooves 101, so as to ensure that among the multiple grooves 101, there is at least one groove 101 that can be connected to the mixing chamber 102 through the slide 160.

[0039] The number of connecting grooves 170 is the same as the number of slideways 160. The connecting grooves 170 are used to connect the switch member 500, so that each main housing 110 is provided with a switch member 500 at a position corresponding to each slideway 160. In this embodiment, the main body 510 of the switch member 500 is configured as a slider that can be moved along an arc and connected to the base 100. Therefore, each connecting groove 170 is connected to a corresponding slideway 160. Each connecting groove 170 is an arc-shaped groove structure, allowing the main body 510 to be slidably connected to the main housing 110 through the connecting groove 170. In other embodiments of the present invention, the main body 510 can also be configured as any of the following: a slider that can be linearly moved and connected to the base 100, a rotating shaft that can be rotatably connected to the base 100, or a block that can be detachably inserted into the base 100. In this case, the connecting groove 170 can be configured as other structures that cooperate with the main body 510.

[0040] In this embodiment, the switch element 500 is further provided with a contact portion 520, a barrier portion 530, a connecting portion 540, and a positioning portion 550. The contact portion 520 and the barrier portion 530 are relatively fixed on opposite sides of the main body 510. The contact portion 520 is exposed on the base 100. When the contact portion 520 is driven by an external force, the barrier portion 530 can be driven by the main body 510 to move simultaneously. The barrier portion 530 can be fitted into the slide 160 and can be controlled to move between a first position and a second position on the base 100. Figure 8 As shown, when the blocking portion 530 is in the first position, it fits into the slideway 160 to separate the mixing chamber 102 and the groove 101; Figure 7 As shown, when the blocking portion 530 is in the second position, the slideway 160 is opened to connect the mixing chamber 102 and the groove 101 , so that the ball 10 can enter the mixing chamber 102 through the slideway 160 .

[0041] The connecting portion 540 is movably engaged with the inner wall of the connecting groove 170. Specifically, the inner wall of the connecting groove 170 is provided with a first engaging portion 171, and the connecting portion 540 is movably engaged with the first engaging portion 171. The connecting portion 540 is a protrusion, and the first engaging portion 171 is a sliding hole. The protrusion is movably connected in the sliding hole, playing a role in guiding and stabilizing the connection. The positioning portion 550 is detachably engaged with the inner wall of the connecting groove 170. Specifically, the inner wall of the connecting groove 170 is provided with a second engaging portion 172, and the positioning portion 550 is detachably engaged with the second engaging portion 172. The positioning portion 550 is a ball protrusion, and the second engaging portion 172 is a plurality of ball grooves arranged at intervals. The ball protrusion is detachably engaged with any of the ball grooves, playing a positioning role. In other embodiments of the present invention, the switch member 500 may not be provided with the connecting portion 540 and / or the positioning portion 550, and the connecting groove 170 may not be provided with the first mating portion 171 and / or the second mating portion 172. Accordingly, other guiding structures may be provided between the connecting portion 540 and the first mating portion 171, and other positioning structures may be provided between the positioning portion 550 and the second mating portion 172.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, each main housing 110 is fixedly connected to a housing 180, and a portion of the housing 180 covers the through-slot 130 to prevent the balls 10 in the through-slot 130 from escaping. In other embodiments of the present invention, the housing 180 can be integrally formed on the main housing 110.

[0043] When the positions of the balls in the ball toy provided in this embodiment need to be shuffled, one only needs to slide the switch member 500 to open the slide 160, then rotate the first rotating seat 200 so that all the balls 10 on the same side can enter the mixing chamber 102 through the groove 101 connected to the mixing chamber 102, then slide the switch member 500 to close the slide 160, shake the balls 10 in the mixing chamber 102 to fully mix them, and finally open the slide 160 to allow the fully mixed balls 10 to be re-placed into the groove 101. The above shuffling method is simple, convenient, and quick to operate, and can ensure that the positions of the balls are fully shuffled, thereby improving practicality and operability.

[0044] For clarity, certain features of the present invention described in the context of separate embodiments may be combined in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in the context of a single embodiment may also be used individually or in any suitable subcombination.
