Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toys, and more particularly to a bean-catching toy. Background Technology

[0002] Toy bead catching machines are a popular game device widely used by both children and adults. Existing toy bead catching machines typically include a user-operated mechanism that allows users to adjust the position of the catching device, thus attempting to catch falling or launched beads from different locations. While this design provides a degree of enjoyment, it also presents some significant technical limitations in practical applications.

[0003] First, existing bead-catching devices only have one channel for catching beads. This means that no matter how the user adjusts the position of the bead-catching device, the actual bead-catching action is always completed through this single channel. This single bead-catching channel limits the user's ability to catch beads in different positions. When beads fall from multiple directions or at different speeds, the user can only rely on this fixed bead-catching channel to operate, which may result in the user being unable to catch the beads in time.

[0004] Secondly, most toy bead catching machines on the market cannot effectively distinguish between successfully caught beads and those that were not caught and were scattered in the game area, meaning they cannot classify the beads. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides an improved bean-catching guide mechanism and bean-catching toy to address the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] This utility model provides a bean-catching toy, which includes:

The drive rack is mounted on the slide block, and the drive gear meshes with the drive rack.

[0018] When the steering wheel is rotated, it drives the drive gear to rotate through the connecting column, and the drive gear drives the slide block to slide through the drive rack.

[0019] Preferably, the bean receiving assembly includes a bean receiving base, a first friction disc, a second friction disc, a connecting arm, a first movable leg, a second movable leg, and a friction pad, wherein the collecting channel and the two receiving holes are both located on the bean receiving base;

[0020] The bean receiving seat is disposed on the slide seat. The first friction disk and the second friction disk are rotatably disposed on the bean receiving seat. The connecting arm is located between the first friction disk and the second friction disk.

[0042] Figures 1 to 3The illustration shows a bean-catching toy 10 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The bean-catching toy 10 includes a housing 1, a bean-catching device 2, and a feeding device 3, which are respectively disposed on the housing 1. Understandably, the housing 1 is used to mount the remaining devices and components. The bean-catching device 2 is movable relative to the housing 1 under user operation, thereby catching material and further guiding it to the feeding device 3. The feeding device 3 is used to collect and store the successfully caught material. The material targeted by the bean-catching toy 10 can be a ball, a bead, or other structure capable of moving under gravity.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a guide slope 411 is provided inside the housing 1. The guide slope 411 has an inlet end 4111 and an outlet end 4112. The inlet end 4111 receives the material 20, so that the material 20 slides along the guide slope 411 and slides out from the guide slope 411.

[0044] Understandably, the feed end 4111 is used to receive material 20 (such as beads), which slides along the guide ramp 411 and eventually slides out from the discharge end 4112. The design of the guide ramp 411 ensures that the material can slide smoothly, making it convenient for users to collect the beads.

[0045] The bean receiving device 2 includes an operating component 21, a slide 22, and a bean receiving component 23. The operating component 21 is movably mounted on the housing 1. The slide 22 is slidably mounted below the guide slope 411. The operating component 21 is driven to the slide 22. The bean receiving component 23 is mounted on the slide 22. The bean receiving component 23 has a collection channel 2311 and two spaced-apart receiving holes 2312. The two receiving holes are respectively connected to the collection channel 2311.

[0046] Understandably, the operating component 21 is movably mounted on the housing 1, typically including a handle or other control device. The function of the operating component 21 is to drive the slide 22 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the bean-receiving component 23. The slide 22 is slidably disposed below the guide ramp 411 and can move horizontally below the guide ramp 411 via the driving connection of the operating component 21. The main function of the slide 22 is to support the bean-receiving component 23 and adjust its position under the drive of the operating component 21. A collecting channel 2311 is provided on the bean-receiving component 23 for collecting successfully caught material. The receiving hole 2312 captures the material sliding down from the guide ramp 411 and guides it into the collecting channel 2311.

[0047] The feeding device 3 includes a feeding channel 31 and a collecting component 32. The feeding channel 31 is disposed inside the housing 1 and connects to the collecting component 32. The feeding channel 31 also connects to the outlet 2313 of the collecting channel 2311. The feeding channel 31 is used to receive and guide materials to slide into the collecting component 32. The slide block 22 is driven by the operating component 21 to drive the bean receiving component 23 to slide, thereby adjusting the position of the two receiving holes 2312 at the discharge end 4112. Each receiving hole 2312 is used to receive materials and guide them to the collecting channel 2311, so that the materials are discharged from the feeding channel 31 through the outlet 2313.

[0048] Understandably, the function of the feeding channel 31 is to guide the material in the collecting channel 2311 to the collecting container 32. The collecting container 32 is located at the end of the feeding channel 31 and is used to store the successfully collected material. The collecting container 32 allows users to easily view and clean up the collected material.

[0049] It should be noted that the material enters the guide slope 411 from the feed end 4111 and slides along the guide slope 411. During the sliding process, the user can drive the slide 22 to move by operating component 21, thereby adjusting the position of the two receiving holes 2312 on the receiving component 23 so that it can accurately receive the material.

[0050] Since the bean receiving assembly 23 has two spaced-apart receiving holes 2312, the user can flexibly adjust the position of the receiving holes 2312 to adapt to materials falling from different positions, allowing the user to try to catch the materials at multiple positions.

[0051] When material slides down the guide ramp 411, if it is caught by the receiving hole 2312, the material will enter the collection channel 2311 through the receiving hole 2312. Material that is not caught will continue to slide out along the guide ramp 411 and will not enter the collection channel 2311. This achieves effective separation of successfully caught and uncaught material.

[0052] The successfully caught material enters the unloading channel 31 through the outlet 2313 of the collection channel 2311 and is eventually guided into the collection component 32.

[0053] It should also be noted that during the sliding process of the slide block 22, the relative distance between the outlet 2313 and the feeding channel 31 remains unchanged or tends to remain unchanged, so as to ensure that the material discharged through the outlet 2313 can always fall into the feeding channel 31.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the housing 1 includes a bottom cover 11, a base 12, and a bracket 13. The base 12 is disposed on the bottom cover 11, and the bracket 13 is disposed on the base 12.

[0055] The base 12 is provided with a mounting boss 121, the guide slope 411 is provided on the mounting boss 121, the feeding channel 31 is located on the mounting boss 121, and the bean receiving assembly 23 is slidably supported on the mounting boss 121.

[0056] Understandably, the bottom cover 11 is used to support the entire toy. The base 12 can be connected to the bottom cover 11 by snap-fit ​​or bolt connection. The mounting boss 121 not only provides the mounting position for the guide ramp 411, but also provides support for the sliding of the bean-catching assembly 23. The bracket 13 is provided on the base 12 to fix and support other components, ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The discharge channel 31 is provided on the mounting boss 121, connecting to the outlet 2313 of the collection channel 2311, and further connecting to the collector 32. The function of the discharge channel 31 is to guide the material in the collection channel 2311 to the collector 32. The collector 32 is located at the end of the discharge channel 31 and is used to store the successfully caught material.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the bean-catching toy 10 also includes a guide device 4. The guide device 4 includes a guide plate 41 and a plurality of guide posts 42. The guide slope 411 is located on the guide plate 41. The guide plate 41 is disposed on the mounting boss 121. Each guide post 42 is disposed on the guide plate 41. The guide plate 41 and the mounting boss 121 together define the feeding channel 31.

[0058] Understandably, the guide plate 41 is mounted on the mounting boss 121, and has a guide ramp 411 thereon. The guide ramp 411 has an inlet end 4111 and an outlet end 4112, used to guide the material to slide from the inlet end 4111 to the outlet end 4112. The guide plate 41 and the mounting boss 121 together define the discharge channel 31. Thus, after disassembling the guide plate 41 and the mounting boss 121, the discharge channel 31 can be directly exposed, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the discharge channel 31. The main function of each guide post 42 is to prevent the material support from falling, allowing the material to move along different paths under the limitation of each guide post 42. The guide posts 42 are usually fixed vertically or obliquely on the guide plate 41, forming a series of spaced-apart guide structures. These guide posts 42 can be cylindrical, square, or other shapes.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the guide plate 41 is provided with a post 412, which is inserted into the mounting boss 121.

[0060] Understandably, the insert 412 is located on the lower surface or edge of the guide plate 41 to securely fix the guide plate 41 to the mounting boss 121. This design ensures that the guide plate 41 will not loosen or shift during use, thereby guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of material guidance.

[0061] The insertion post 412 is typically cylindrical or other suitable for insertion, and its length and diameter are designed according to the size of the insertion hole on the mounting boss 121. The insertion post 412 can be a separate component or an integral part of the guide plate 41.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the bottom of the feeding channel 31 has a feeding ramp 311, which is used to guide the material to slide into the collecting member 32.

[0063] Understandably, the feed ramp 311 is located at the bottom of the feed channel 31, and its main function is to guide the material to slide along the ramp into the collecting member 32 through the inclined angle. This design reduces the residence time of the material in the feed channel 31 and improves the efficiency of material transfer. The feed ramp 311 is typically a smooth surface with a certain inclination angle, which is set according to the characteristics of the material and the specific dimensions of the feed channel 31.

[0064] It should be noted that after the successfully caught material enters the discharge channel 31 through the outlet 2313 of the collection channel 2311, the material will slide naturally along the discharge ramp 311. Due to the setting of the discharge ramp 311, the material can smoothly slide into the collector 32 under the action of gravity, without accumulating or blocking in the discharge channel 31.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the collecting component 32 includes a sliding drawer 321 and a limiting wall 322. The limiting wall 322 is disposed on the housing 1, the sliding drawer 321 is slidably inserted into the housing 1, and the limiting wall 322 surrounds the periphery of the sliding drawer 321. The sliding drawer 321 is connected to the feeding channel 31.

[0066] Understandably, the sliding drawer 321 is slidably inserted into the housing 1 to receive materials guided from the discharge channel 31. The sliding drawer 321 is designed so that the user can easily pull it out to empty or inspect the collected materials.

[0067] A limiting wall 322 is disposed on the housing 1 and surrounds the periphery of the sliding drawer 321. The main function of the limiting wall 322 is to restrict the movement range of the sliding drawer 321, preventing it from accidentally falling off or shifting during use, and also preventing materials from spilling out of the sliding drawer 321. The limiting wall 322 can be an integrally formed structure or a separate component installed on the housing 1 by screws or other fixing methods.

[0068] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the operating component 21 includes a steering wheel 211, a connecting column 212, a drive gear 213, and a drive rack 214. The connecting column 212 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. One end of the connecting column 212 is connected to the steering wheel 211, and the other end of the connecting column 212 is connected to the drive gear 213. The drive rack 214 is mounted on the slide 22, and the drive gear 213 meshes with the drive rack 214.

[0069] When the steering wheel 211 is rotated, it drives the drive gear 213 to rotate through the connecting column 212, and the drive gear 213 drives the slide block 22 to slide through the drive rack 214.

[0070] Understandably, the steering wheel 211 is the main component operated by the user. The user can control the movement of the slide 22 by turning the steering wheel 211. The central part of the steering wheel 211 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting column 212. The function of the connecting column 212 is to transmit the rotational motion of the steering wheel 211 to the drive gear 213. The connecting column 212 is usually cylindrical, with connecting structures (such as keyways or threads) at both ends for fixed connection with the steering wheel 211 and the drive gear 213. The connecting column 212 is mounted on the housing 1 by bearings or other rotational support devices to ensure its smooth rotation.

[0071] The drive gear 213 is connected to the other end of the connecting column 212 and meshes with the drive rack 214. The drive gear 213 is fixed to the connecting column 212 by a key or other means to ensure that it rotates synchronously with the connecting column 212; of course, the drive gear 213 can also be connected to the connecting column 212 by bolts and other alignment structures.

[0072] A drive rack 214 is mounted on the slide 22 and meshes with the drive gear 213. The function of the drive rack 214 is to convert the rotational motion of the drive gear 213 into the linear motion of the slide 22. The drive rack 214 is typically a toothed straight bar, and its length and tooth pitch are designed according to the sliding range of the slide 22. The drive rack 214 is fixed to the slide 22 to ensure that it moves synchronously with the slide 22.

[0073] like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the bean-catching assembly 23 includes a bean-catching base 231, a first friction disc 232, a second friction disc 233, a connecting arm 234, a first movable leg 235, a second movable leg 236, and a friction pad 237. The collecting channel 2311 and the two receiving holes 2312 are both located on the bean-catching base 231.

[0074] A bean receiving seat 231 is mounted on a slide 22. A first friction disc 232 and a second friction disc 233 are rotatably mounted on the bean receiving seat 231. A connecting arm 234 is located between the first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233. One end of the connecting arm 234 is provided with a first connecting post 2341, and the other end of the connecting arm 234 is provided with a second connecting post 2342. The first connecting post 2341 passes through a first movable leg 235 and is fixedly connected to the first friction disc 232. The second connecting post 2342 passes through a second movable leg 236 and is fixedly connected to the second friction disc 233. A friction pad 237 is mounted on the housing 1. Both the first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233 are movably supported on the friction pad 237. The central axis of the first connecting post 2341 in the length extension direction is parallel to the central axis of the second connecting post 2342 in the length extension direction.

[0075] When the bean receiving seat 231 slides under the influence of the slide seat 22, the first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233 roll on the friction pad 237, thereby causing the first movable leg 235 and the second movable leg 236 to move on the bean receiving seat 231.

[0076] Understandably, the bean receiving seat 231 is mounted on the slide 22 and is the main support structure of the bean receiving assembly 23.

[0077] The first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233 are rotatably mounted on the bean receiving seat 231. The function of these two friction discs is to roll correspondingly as the bean receiving seat 231 slides, simultaneously driving the movement of the first movable leg 235 and the second movable leg 236. The friction discs are typically circular with a certain coefficient of friction on their surfaces to ensure smooth rolling on the friction pad 237. The first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233 are mounted on the bean receiving seat 231 via bearings, a rotating column, or other rotating support devices to ensure smooth rotation. A connecting arm 234 is located between the first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233, used to connect the two friction discs together and transmit motion.

[0078] The first movable leg 235 and the second movable leg 236 are respectively mounted on the first connecting post 2341 and the second connecting post 2342, and further connected to the first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233 respectively. The friction pad 237 is located below the first friction disc 232 and the second friction disc 233. The function of the friction pad 237 is to provide a stable friction surface on which the friction discs can roll. The friction pad 237 is typically made of wear-resistant material and has a certain coefficient of friction to ensure that the friction discs can roll smoothly without slipping.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the bean-catching assembly 23 includes two first movable legs 235 and two second movable legs 236; a first connecting post 2341 passes through the two first movable legs 235, and a second connecting post 2342 passes through the two second movable legs 236.

[0080] Understandably, by setting both the first movable leg 235 and the second movable leg 236 to two, the movement of the bean receiving device 2 during the movement process can be further enriched.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the bean-catching toy 10, the bean-catching toy 10 further includes a feeding device 5. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding device 5 includes a feeding channel 51, a feeding motor 52, an eccentric wheel, a fixed step 54, and a movable step 55;

[0082] The feeding channel 51 is set on the housing 1. The fixed steps 54 are provided with multiple fixed steps 541 along the height direction. The movable steps 55 are provided with multiple movable steps 551 along the height direction. The fixed steps 54 are fixedly set on the housing 1. The movable steps 55 are slidably set inside the housing 1. The feeding motor 52 is set inside the housing 1 and drives the eccentric wheel. The eccentric wheel is provided with an eccentric column. The movable steps 55 are provided with a drive waist hole 552. The eccentric column is movably inserted into the drive waist hole 552.

[0083] The feeding channel 51 is used to receive materials and guide them to one of the fixed steps 541 or one of the movable steps 551. The feeding motor 52 is used to drive the eccentric wheel to rotate, so that the eccentric column slides along the drive waist hole and supports the movable step 55 to move back and forth relative to the fixed step 54. As a result, the material moves alternately between the fixed step 541 and the movable step 551 and rises step by step. Then, the material slides out at the highest fixed step 541 or the highest movable step 551 to fall onto the guide slope 411.

[0084] Understandably, the feeding channel 51 is disposed on the housing 1 to receive and guide materials to one of the fixed steps 541 or one of the movable steps 551. The feeding channel 51 is typically an inclined pipe or channel, the inlet of which can be configured on the housing 1, specifically by openings in the housing 1 for material input. The outlet of the feeding channel 51 is aligned with the lowest step of the fixed step 54 and the movable step 55.

[0085] The feeding motor 52 drives the reciprocating movement of the movable step 55 by rotating an eccentric wheel. The eccentric wheel is mounted on the output shaft of the feeding motor 52 and has an eccentric column on it. The function of the eccentric wheel is to convert the rotational motion of the feeding motor 52 into the reciprocating linear motion of the movable step 55. The eccentric wheel is typically circular, but the eccentric column on it is off-center. The eccentric column is inserted into the drive slot 552 on the movable step 55. The rotation of the eccentric wheel causes the eccentric column to slide within the drive slot, thereby pushing the movable step 55 to move. The fixed step 54 provides stable support for the fixed steps 541, allowing materials to move alternately between the fixed steps 541 and the movable steps 551. The fixed step 54 is typically a rigid structure, and the height difference between the fixed steps 541 is designed according to the size of the material to ensure smooth material ascent. The movable step 55 reciprocates relative to the fixed step 54 under the drive of the eccentric wheel, thereby causing the material to rise step by step.

[0086] It should be noted that materials can be placed into the feeding channel 51, and the materials slide along the feeding channel 51 to reach the lowest fixed step 541 or the movable step 551. Subsequently, the feeding motor 52 drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, and the eccentric column slides in the drive hole, thereby supporting the movable step 55 to move back and forth relative to the fixed step 54. When the movable step 55 moves upward, the material is pushed onto the next higher fixed step 541; when the movable step 55 moves downward, the material remains on the fixed step 541.

[0087] Thus, through the continuous rotation of the eccentric wheel, the movable step 55 moves back and forth continuously, causing the material to move alternately between the fixed step 541 and the movable step 551 and rise step by step, eventually reaching the highest fixed step 541 or the highest movable step 551. When the material reaches the highest fixed step 541 or the highest movable step 551, the material will slide off the step and fall onto the guide ramp 411.

[0088] The following are the beneficial effects of implementing this utility model:

[0089] This utility model relates to a bean-catching toy, which features two spaced-apart receiving holes on a bean-catching component, each connected to a collection channel. By operating a component to drive a slide block to slide below a guide slope, the position of the receiving holes can be adjusted, allowing the toy to catch materials at different locations. This enables users to better handle complex game situations and enhances the overall entertainment experience.

[0090] Secondly, the receiving holes on the bean receiving assembly effectively guide successfully caught material (i.e., beads) into the collection channel, and finally through the discharge channel to the collector. Uncaught material slides out along the guide ramp and does not enter the collection channel, thus achieving effective and accurate classification of materials.
