Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of educational toys, and more specifically, relates to a textile drum. Background Art

[0002] As an educational toy designed specifically for young children, the textile drum has long played a vital role in their development. By allowing children to rotate the drum themselves, they can intuitively experience the motion of physical structures, thereby enhancing their perception and understanding of the physical world through play. The original intention of this toy's design was to utilize simple mechanical motion principles to stimulate children's curiosity and desire for exploration, promoting the development of their hand-eye coordination and spatial cognition.

[0003] However, while traditional textile drums have certain educational value in promoting young children's tactile and kinesthetic perception, their functionality is relatively limited, primarily providing a simple rotational motion experience. This single sensory stimulation method can become boring for young children after prolonged play and struggles to retain their attention. Furthermore, as young children grow, their sensory systems require diverse stimulation to develop, including vision, hearing, touch, and other aspects. Existing textile drum designs fail to fully consider this, lacking functional elements that can simultaneously stimulate a child's other senses. Utility Model Content

[0007] base;

[0008] a rotating drum rotatably connected to the base, wherein the rotating drum has a cavity;

[0009] A plurality of balls are bulked in the cavity. When the drum rotates, the balls roll and hit in the cavity to produce a sound.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0011] Optionally, the drum includes a shell and an end cover, the shell has openings at both ends along the axial direction, the end cover is arranged at the openings, and the shell and the end cover enclose to form the cavity.

[0020] The beneficial effects of a textile drum provided by the present application are:

[0021] The present application provides a textile drum comprising a base, a rotating drum, and multiple balls. The base, serving as the fundamental support component of the entire device, possesses sufficient strength and stability to be securely placed on any flat surface, ensuring the stability and safety of the entire textile drum during use. The rotating drum is rotatably connected to the base, allowing children to manually rotate the drum, visually observing its motion trajectory and speed changes. Through hands-on experience, they can understand the fundamental laws of motion, effectively fostering their perception and understanding of the physical world through play. Compared to traditional textile drums, the present invention's major improvement lies in the inclusion of a cavity within the drum, containing multiple balls loosely packed within the cavity. As the drum rotates, the balls roll freely within the cavity, colliding with each other and producing sounds. These sounds not only attract children's attention but also stimulate their hearing, effectively alleviating boredom during play and allowing them to focus more on the textile drum itself.

[0022] The textile drum of this application not only enhances children's understanding of the laws of motion in the physical world through its rotating action, but also further stimulates their auditory senses through the sound produced by the balls rolling and hitting each other in the cavity, enhancing their perception and cognitive abilities. This interactive experience that integrates vision, touch, and hearing makes the textile drum of this application not only more playable but also greatly enriches children's sensory experience.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementations in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides a textile drum, comprising a base 1 , a rotating drum 2 and a plurality of balls 3 .

[0042] The base 1 serves as the basic supporting component of the entire device and has sufficient strength and stability. It can be firmly placed on any flat surface to ensure the stability and safety of the entire textile drum during use.

[0043] The drum 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1. Children can rotate the drum by hand, thereby intuitively observing the movement trajectory and speed changes of the drum 2. Through hands-on practice, they can feel the basic laws of object movement, thereby effectively promoting children's perception and understanding of the material world during play.

[0044] Compared to traditional textile drums, the present invention's main improvement lies in the presence of a cavity 21 within the rotating drum 2, within which a plurality of loose balls 3 are contained. As the rotating drum 2 rotates, the balls 3 roll freely within the cavity 21, colliding with each other and producing sounds. These sounds not only attract children's attention but also stimulate their hearing, effectively alleviating boredom during play and allowing them to focus more on the textile drum itself.

[0045] The textile drum of the present application not only enhances children's understanding of the laws of motion in the physical world through its rotational motion, but also further stimulates their auditory senses and enhances their perception and cognitive abilities through the sound produced by the rolling and hitting of the balls 3 within the cavity 21. This interactive experience, which integrates vision, touch, and hearing, makes the textile drum of the present application not only more playable but also greatly enriches children's sensory experience.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the drum 2 includes a shell 22 and an end cover 23. The shell 22 is the main part of the drum 2, and has openings at both ends along the axial direction. The shell 22 needs to have sufficient strength, rigidity and durability to maintain structural stability during long-term use. The end cover 23 serves as a sealing and supporting component at the opening of the shell 22. The shape and size of the end cover 23 match the shape and size of the opening of the shell 22, and is covered at the opening by a suitable connection method (such as bolt connection, snap connection, etc.). The shell 22 and the end cover 23 enclose a cavity 21. The existence of the cavity 21 allows the balls 3 to roll freely in the cavity 21, collide with each other, and make sounds.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the present application, the housing 22 is cylindrical. This cylindrical housing offers excellent smoothness and stability during rotation, allowing young children to easily rotate the drum 2 and enjoy the joy of rotation. Furthermore, the cylindrical shape offers soft lines and no sharp corners, significantly reducing the risk of children being bumped during use and ensuring the safety and reliability of the toy. Furthermore, the cylindrical housing is easy to manufacture, contributing to cost control and improved production efficiency.

[0048] The shape of the shell 22 includes but is not limited to a cylindrical shape. In other specific embodiments of the present application, the shell 22 may also be a prism, a sphere, a truncated cone, or other geometric shapes.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the shell 22 is specifically a transparent shell, so that the young child can intuitively see the rolling and collision of the ball 3 in the cavity 21 through the shell 22, thereby enhancing the playability and fun of the textile drum, thereby stimulating the curiosity and desire to explore of the young child, and further stimulating the perception ability of the visual senses.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, a partition structure is further provided in the shell 22 to divide the shell 22 into a plurality of cavities 21, so as to ensure that the rolling effect of the balls 3 can be maximized while maintaining the relative independence of each cavity 21. Each cavity 21 is filled with an appropriate amount of balls 3, which roll freely in their respective areas, collide with each other, and make sounds. More importantly, the partition structure effectively prevents the balls 3 from clumping or interfering with each other in different areas, ensuring that the balls 3 in each cavity 21 can maintain an active and orderly rolling state, thereby further enhancing the dynamic and playability of the toy.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the partition structure is a partition 24 extending radially along the housing 22 and spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the housing 22. The partition 24 divides the housing 22 into a plurality of cavities 21 arranged axially around the housing 22, ensuring that the balls 3 can roll freely in their respective areas while preventing the balls 3 in different areas from interfering with each other or clumping together.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the spinning drum further includes a rotating shaft 4. Accordingly, a shaft hole is formed on the end cap 23. The rotating shaft 4 is mounted on the base 1 and extends through the shaft hole, thereby achieving smooth rotation of the spinning drum about the rotating shaft 4. The rotating shaft 4 maintains sufficient smoothness and wear resistance during rotation, thereby extending the service life of the product.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, there are multiple drums 2, and each drum 2 is arranged in sequence along the axial direction. The multiple drums 2 can increase the layering and three-dimensional effect of the textile drum, allowing young children to observe the rolling and collision of the balls 3 in different drums 2 during play.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the diameters of the drums 2 are different. By arranging drums 2 with different diameters, the appearance of the textile drum is made more layered and staggered, which can reduce the boredom of young children during the play process.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the base 1 includes a bottom plate portion 11 and a vertical plate portion 12. The vertical plate portions 12 are arranged in pairs on the bottom plate portion 11 and are both arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate portion 11. The vertical plate portions 12 are located at both ends of the rotating drum 2 to support the rotating drum 2, and the rotating drum 2 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate portions 12.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
