Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a ball bearing bouncing sound-generating device for a fidget spinner. Background Technology

[0002] A fidget spinner is a small toy that can spin freely on your finger. To play with a fidget spinner, you only need to use the pinching force of your thumb and another finger to provide a fixed fulcrum, and then use the fingertip of a third finger to flick it to make it spin. As a stress-relieving toy, fidget spinners are loved by consumers.

[0003] Traditional fidget spinners do not have sound effects. In order to optimize the product and increase the fun of fidget spinners, many manufacturers have thought of integrating the functions of fidget spinners with Pappa coins. For example, a fidget spinner with announcement number CN217612871U is an example of integration.

[0004] In the fidget spinner design disclosed in announcement number CN217612871U, sound is produced by the collision of spring beads. The product has a relatively complex structure, and the sound produced is a discontinuous "pop" sound, which is not crisp and pleasant enough and lacks fun. In addition, the product cannot effectively switch between sound mode and silent mode, and cannot meet the needs of various usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a ball bearing bouncing sound-generating device for a fidget spinner.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a ball-jumping sound device for a fidget spinner, comprising a male and female cover for the user to squeeze and a rotating disk that can rotate relative to the male and female cover. The male and female cover include a male cover and a female cover that are fixed together in a quick-release manner. The rotating disk and the male cover form a rotatable structure through a bearing. Multiple through holes are machined on the surface of the rotating disk. A storage cavity for storing the ball is formed between the male cover, the female cover, and the through holes. Multiple grooves are machined on the edge of the male cover. When the ball passes through the grooves, it bounces and emits a crisp and pleasant sound.

[0007] Furthermore, the male cap and the female cap are connected by a threaded connection to form a quick-release connection.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating disk has a limiting plate fixed on one side near the mother cover. The limiting plate is fixed to the rotating disk by fasteners. The limiting plate includes a main body and a plurality of sound amplification plates formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating disk is equilateral triangular in shape, and there are three through holes, which are evenly distributed on the same circumference of the rotating disk.

[0010] Furthermore, the ball bearings are luminous beads.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model over the prior art are as follows:

[0012] 1. The product has a compact and reasonable structural design. The ball bearings and male and female covers are all metal parts. When they are impacted, they can produce a crisp and pleasant sound. The sound amplification plate can further amplify the sound. The sound effect is different depending on the rotation speed, making it more interesting.

[0013] 2. The product can switch between sound mode and silent mode to meet more practical usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0019] like Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a fidget spinner ball-jumping sound device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a male and female cover 1 for the user to squeeze and a rotating disk 2 that can rotate relative to the male and female cover 1. The male and female cover 1 includes a male cover 11 and a female cover 12 that can be quickly and easily connected. The rotating disk 2 and the male cover 11 form a rotatable structure through a bearing 3 (the outer circle of the bearing 3 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the rotating disk 2, and the inner circle of the bearing 3 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the connecting post of the male cover 11). A plurality of through holes 21 are machined on the surface of the rotating disk 2. A storage cavity for storing the ball 4 is formed between the male cover 11, the female cover 12, and the through holes 21. The edge of the male cover 11... Multiple grooves 111 are machined along the edge. When the ball 4 passes through the grooves 111, it bounces and makes a crisp and pleasant sound. The male cover 11 and the female cover 12 are connected by a threaded engagement to form a quick-release connection. A limiting plate 5 is fixed on the side of the rotating disk 2 near the female cover 12. The limiting plate 5 is fixed to the rotating disk 2 by fasteners 6. The limiting plate 5 includes a main body 51 and multiple sound amplification plates 52 formed on the outer circumference of the main body 51. The rotating disk 2 is equilateral triangle with three through holes 21. The three through holes 21 are evenly distributed on the same circumference of the rotating disk 2. The ball 4 is a luminous bead, so that the ball 4 can also produce dynamic light effects when it rotates.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the ball bearing 4 uses a glow-in-the-dark bead. This glow-in-the-dark bead is available in a variety of colors. Users can choose different colors of glow-in-the-dark beads according to their personal preferences or needs, or combine multiple colors of glow-in-the-dark beads to produce a variety of dynamic light effects. These dynamic light effects not only add visual appeal to the gyroscope, but also provide a unique aesthetic experience in dark environments.

[0021] In addition, some gyroscopes with retractable plates, such as the one with publication number CN118454249A, can be equipped with this ball-bearing bouncing sound-generating device. Even without the ball bearings, the opening and closing of the plates will affect the sound. When the plates retract by magnetic force, the impact between the plates and the main body of the gyroscope will cause the sound amplification plate 52 to resonate with the main body, further producing a loud and varied sound effect. Through this design, the gyroscope can not only provide traditional ball bearing sound feedback, but also add additional sound effects under specific operating actions, further enhancing the user's sense of interaction and fun.

[0022] In addition, the ball bearing 4 can also use a magnetic Buckyball. When the magnetic Buckyball interacts with the built-in magnet on the gyroscope body, it can generate a strong attraction. Whenever the magnetic Buckyball rotates and passes through the groove 111, the Buckyball attracted by the magnetic force will violently collide with the inner wall of the groove 111, generating a significant impact force. This impact force not only enhances the user experience of the gyroscope, but also provides the user with a ratchet-like feedback effect when rotating, allowing the user to feel a more unique and dynamic sensation.

[0023] Even when using non-magnetic beads, the gyroscope body can still drive the ball 4 to rotate. When the ball 4 passes through the groove 111, due to gravity, the ball 4 will naturally slide into the groove 111 and stay for a moment. Then, the gyroscope body will push the ball 4 out of the groove 111. This process will produce an irregular jumping vibration, accompanied by a crisp sound, giving the user a special tactile and auditory feedback. This feedback not only enriches the user experience of the gyroscope, but also makes each rotation full of different feelings and sound changes, thereby increasing the fun and interactivity of use.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the male cover 11 and the female cover 12 are connected by threads to form a convenient quick-release connection structure. This design allows users to easily disassemble the gyroscope according to their actual needs, thereby replacing the internal ball bearings 4. Whether it is to replace different types of ball bearings 4 (such as glow-in-the-dark beads, magnetic buckyballs, or other special material ball bearings), or to clean the inside of the gyroscope and remove the ball bearings 4, users can operate conveniently without using additional tools. This quick-release design not only improves the maintainability of the gyroscope, but also allows users to flexibly adjust the configuration of the gyroscope according to their personal preferences or usage scenarios, bringing a richer experience. For example, users can replace the glow-in-the-dark beads with different colors according to changes in ambient light, or choose magnetic ball bearings with more characteristic feedback according to their needs, further enhancing the interactivity and fun of the gyroscope.

[0025] In other embodiments (not shown in the figures), the connection between the male cover 11 and the female cover 12 can be achieved through snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or interference fit. The snap-fit ​​method uses protrusions and grooves on the edge of the cover to ensure a secure connection between the male cover 11 and the female cover 12, facilitating disassembly and installation. The magnetic connection uses magnets embedded in the male cover 11 and the female cover 12 to create a stable connection through magnetic attraction; this method is simple to operate and allows for quicker disassembly. The interference fit, through precise dimensional design, ensures a tight fit between the male cover 11 and the female cover 12 during connection, increasing the connection's strength and ensuring the stability and safety of the gyroscope during use. These connection methods provide a flexible and reliable disassembly and installation experience in different scenarios, meeting diverse user needs.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting plate 5 is disposed on one side of the mother cover 12, and multiple sound amplification plates 52 are provided on its outer peripheral surface. This design can effectively enhance the sound feedback of the gyroscope and improve the user experience. When the gyroscope is in use, the mother cover 12 side faces down, and the ball bearing 4 will naturally stay on the limiting plate 5 due to gravity. As the gyroscope rotates, the ball bearing 4 continuously rolls, jumps and hits the sound amplification plates 52 on the limiting plate 5 during the rotation process. These impacts will produce different sound effects, and the impact sound will also vary depending on the material and weight of the ball bearing 4. For example, when glow-in-the-dark beads, magnetic buckyballs or other types of balls hit the sound amplification plates, they will emit sounds with different timbres and tones, making the user experience of the gyroscope more diverse.

[0027] To better meet the needs of different users, the installation of the amplifier plate 52 is also flexible. Users can choose whether to install or remove the amplifier plate according to their personal preferences. This optional configuration design makes the sound performance of the gyroscope more personalized, and users can adjust or replace different sound feedback components as needed, further enhancing the gyroscope's diversity and playability.

[0028] The product has a compact and reasonable structural design. The ball bearing 4 and the male and female covers 1 are both metal parts, which can produce a crisp and pleasant sound when they are impacted. The sound amplification plate 52 can further amplify the sound. The sound effect is different depending on the rotation speed, making it more interesting. The product can switch between sound mode and silent mode to meet more practical use scenarios.

[0029] In practical use, for ease of understanding of this utility model, it will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings;

[0030] By pinching the male and female covers 1 tightly with the thumb and another finger, and then flicking them with the fingertip of a third finger, the rotating disk 2 will rotate at high speed, and the ball 4 will rotate with the rotating disk 2. When the male cover 11 and the female cover 12 are on the lower side, it is in sound mode. When the ball 4 passes through the groove 111 of the male cover 11, it will bounce to a certain extent. The bouncing ball 4 and the male cover 11 will collide with each other and produce a crisp and pleasant sound. The design of the sound amplification plate 52 and the multiple hollow through holes 21 of the rotating disk 2 allows the sound to be propagated outwards well. When the male cover 11 is on the upper side and the female cover 12 is on the lower side, it is in silent mode. Because the contact surface between the female cover 12 and the ball 4 is flat, the ball 4 will not bounce or collide. Users can quickly switch between sound mode and silent mode as needed.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
