[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Reference as follows Figures 1-8 The utility model is described as follows:

[0031] Example: A hand-cranked game console includes a housing 1, housing a rotatable drum 2 disposed therein. A window 3 corresponding to drum 2 is provided on the housing 1. As drum 2 rotates, patterns on drum 2 are visible through window 3. Housing 1 provides protection and support for the entire game console, while also serving as a decorative element. Rotatable drum 2, the core component of the game console, is printed with various patterns. Rotating drum 2 reveals different patterns.

[0032] One axial end of the drum 2 is connected to a coaxially linked gear 4. Inside the housing 1, a reciprocating drive bar 5 is slidably connected. The drive bar 5 is equipped with teeth 6 that mesh with the gear 4. The drive bar 5 and its teeth 6 form a rack structure. When the rack moves, it meshes with the gear 4, driving the gear 4 to rotate, thereby driving the drum 2. In this hand-cranked game machine, one axial end of the drum 2 is connected to a coaxially linked gear 4. This connection ensures that the rotation of the gear 4 directly drives the drum 2, achieving efficient power transmission. Furthermore, the drive bar 5 and its teeth 6, which are slidably connected inside the housing 1, form a rack structure that provides power input for the entire transmission system. As the drive bar 5 reciprocates, its teeth 6 mesh with the gear 4. This meshing relationship converts the linear motion of the rack into the rotational motion of the gear 4. During operation, the player pushes or pulls the drive bar 5, moving the rack and thus rotating the gear 4. The rotation of the gear 4 further drives the drum 2 to rotate, so that different patterns on the drum 2 are displayed through the window 3 on the housing 1 in sequence.

[0033] A rotatable drive shaft 7 is connected to the housing 1 and is arranged parallel to the central axis of the drum 2. A toggle portion 8 is provided on the drive shaft 7, which is arranged perpendicular to the drive shaft 7. Rotation of the drive shaft 7 allows the toggle portion 8 to toggle the drive bar 5. A reset member 9 is also provided within the housing 1 to reset the drive bar 5 after the toggle portion 8 has moved the drive bar 5. The rotatable drive shaft 7 connected to the housing 1 provides a power transmission method for the entire system. The drive shaft 7 is parallel to the central axis of the drum 2, making the structure more compact and facilitating power transmission to the drive bar 5. The toggle portion 8 is arranged perpendicular to the drive shaft 7, increasing the contact area with the drive bar 5 and enhancing its effectiveness. When the drive shaft 7 rotates, the toggle portion 8 rotates with it, effectively toggle-moving the drive bar 5. This design utilizes simple mechanical principles to convert the rotational motion of the drive shaft 7 into linear motion of the drive bar 5. The reset member 9 plays a key role after the toggle portion 8 has moved the drive bar 5. The reset member 9 can reset the drive bar 5 to its initial position, ready for the next toggle operation. This reset function ensures the continuity and repeatability of the game, allowing players to operate continuously.

[0034] The end of the drive shaft 7 that extends outside the housing 1 is connected to a drive handle 10, which is used to rotate the drive shaft 7. Players can easily rotate the drive shaft 7 to activate the game mechanism. Compared to directly rotating the drive shaft 7, the presence of the drive handle 10 makes operation more comfortable and natural, reducing hand fatigue.

[0035] One end of the drive bar 5 is connected to a drive portion 11, which is arranged perpendicularly to the drive bar 5. The toggle portion 8 is located between the drive portion 11 and the roller 2. The toggle portion 8 and the drive portion 11 abut against each other to propel the drive bar 5 to move. The drive portion 11, connected to one end of the drive bar 5 and arranged perpendicularly to the drive bar 5, plays an important role in connection and transmission. The drive portion 11 provides a clear contact point for the toggle portion 8, enabling the toggle portion 8 to effectively propel the drive bar 5 to move. Furthermore, the vertical arrangement of the drive portion 11 increases the contact area with the toggle portion 8, improving the stability and reliability of the propulsion. The toggle portion 8 is located between the drive portion 11 and the roller 2. When the drive shaft 7 rotates, the toggle portion 8 and the drive portion 11 abut against each other to propel the drive bar 5 to move. This coordination method is simple and efficient, utilizing the principles of mechanical motion to convert the rotation of the drive shaft 7 into linear motion of the drive bar 5. The abutment between the toggle portion 8 and the drive portion 11 ensures accurate power transmission, allowing the drive bar 5 to move in the desired direction and speed.

[0036] The reset member 9 is a spring, one end of which abuts against the housing 1, and the other end of which abuts against the drive unit 11. The drive unit 11 is provided with a spring seat for connection, and the drive unit 11 is located between the spring and the toggle member 8. First, as a common elastic element, the spring has excellent elastic recovery force. When the toggle member 8 pushes the drive unit 11 to move the drive bar 5, the spring is compressed. Once the toggle member 8 and the force exerted on the drive unit 11 disappear, the spring's elastic recovery force acts on the drive unit 11, pushing it back to its initial position, thereby resetting the drive bar 5. This reset method is simple and effective, ensuring the continuity of game play. Second, with one end of the spring abutting against the housing 1 and the other end abutting against the spring seat on the drive unit 11, this connection ensures the stability of the spring during operation. The spring seat provides a fixed connection point for the spring, preventing it from shifting or falling off during compression and extension. Furthermore, the housing 1, serving as a support point for the other end of the spring, provides a stable foundation for the spring's force. Furthermore, the location of the drive unit 11 between the spring and the toggle member 8 is a reasonable design. During game play, the toggle unit 8 first pushes the driver unit 11, causing the drive bar 5 to move, compressing the spring. When the toggle unit 8 leaves the driver unit 11, the restoring force of the spring is transmitted through the driver unit 11 to the driver bar 5, causing it to return to its original position. This sequential process makes game play smoother and more natural.

[0037] The drive shaft 7 is equipped with a stopper 12, and a stopper 13 is provided on the inner sidewall of the housing 1, located along the rotation path of the drive shaft 7. The stopper 12 and the stopper 13 interfere with each other, limiting the rotation of the drive shaft 7. Two stoppers 13 are provided, and the stopper 12 rotates between them. The stopper 12 and the two stoppers 13 cooperate to limit the rotation angle of the drive shaft 7. The main purpose of providing the stopper 12 on the drive shaft 7 and the stopper 13 on the inner sidewall of the housing 1, along the rotation path of the drive shaft 7, is to limit the rotation angle of the drive shaft 7. This stopper design is crucial to the proper operation of the game console and the player's experience. When the drive shaft 7 rotates, the stopper 12 rotates with it. When the stopper 12 interferes with the stopper 13, the stopper 13 blocks the drive shaft 7 from continuing to rotate in its current direction. This interference limits the rotation range of the drive shaft 7, ensuring that it operates within a safe angular range. The two limiting portions 13 further define the rotational angle range of the drive shaft 7. The limiting protrusion 12 rotates between the two limiting portions 13, strictly limiting the rotational angle of the drive shaft 7 to a specific range. This prevents excessive rotation of the drive shaft 7, which could cause malfunction or damage to the game mechanism, while also providing players with clear operational boundaries.

[0038] The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a slide groove 14 that slidably engages the drive bar 5. This groove 14 provides a clear sliding path for the drive bar 5, enabling stable reciprocating movement within the housing 1. Without the restraint of the groove 14, the drive bar 5 could shift, wobble, or tilt during movement, affecting its engagement with the gear 4 and the proper functioning of the entire game mechanism. The presence of the groove 14 ensures that the drive bar 5 always moves in a straight line along the intended direction, improving the stability and reliability of game operation.

[0039] A hanging hole 15 for connecting a lanyard is provided on the outer side wall of the housing 1. The existence of the hanging hole 15 allows the player to easily hang the game console on a wrist, a backpack or other articles by connecting a lanyard.

[0040] The housing 1 is composed of two housings 1 , which are fixedly connected by screws.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
