Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toy technology, and in particular to a waterwheel, specifically a waterwheel toy. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing variety of toys available today, including a proliferation of large outdoor play structures, outdoor water play equipment is a common example. These water play structures are typically pools, and children primarily interact with the water directly, lacking the element of water circulation. Waterwheels, which utilize water to create their own movement, present a challenge. Controlling the water circulation to power the waterwheel would be another great way to enjoy water play. Therefore, a toy structure that allows water to circulate and power a waterwheel within a pool is needed to fulfill this need for water-based play. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art by providing a waterwheel toy that addresses the issue that current water play facilities cannot achieve water circulation to enable the facility to operate.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: This waterwheel toy includes a water tank for holding water, a waterwheel placed inside the water tank, a water pumping device on the edge of the water tank, a water pumping pipe connected to the bottom of the water pumping device to draw water from the water tank, and a water outlet pipe connected to the top of the water pumping device to deliver water to the water container of the waterwheel. This forms a water circulation structure in which water in the water tank flows out through the water pumping pipe and the water outlet pipe under the action of the water pumping device, driving the waterwheel to move. With this setting, when the water tank is full of water, the water pumping device uses the water pumping pipe to draw water out and delivers it to the water container of the waterwheel through the water outlet pipe, causing the waterwheel to rotate. This water circulation structure, which circulates water in the water tank while driving the waterwheel to move, allows children to understand the phenomenon and principle of waterwheel operation while playing, achieving edutainment.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the water tank consists of an outer frame and a water-retaining cloth made of a flexible sealing material. The outer frame is a wall-like structure that runs vertically through the tank, and the edges of the water-retaining cloth are detachably connected to the outer frame to form a groove-shaped water-retaining structure. The water tank consists of an outer frame and a water-retaining cloth. The outer frame is used to fix the water-retaining cloth, and the water-retaining cloth itself is made of a flexible sealing material that can serve as a water storage container. The water-retaining cloth itself is flexible and can be folded for easy storage. More importantly, the flexible properties of the water-retaining cloth can adapt to different terrain surfaces, making the water tank more adaptable.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, an arch-shaped support is provided at the edge of the water tank. The water pumping device is installed on the outside of the support. Both the outlet pipe and the pumping pipe extend along the inner wall and are fixed inside the support. The outlet pipe extends along the inside of the support to its top, with its outlet end pointing towards the water container of the water cart. The support is used to fix the water pumping device, the outlet pipe, and the pumping pipe, so that the outlet pipe and the pumping pipe are arranged along a preset route to ensure that the outlet end of the outlet pipe points towards the water container of the water cart, thus achieving the effect of water cart rotation.

[0007] As a further improvement to this invention, the water pumping device is a hand-cranked water pump. This design allows for manual operation of the pump, increasing the fun for children and further developing their coordination skills.

[0008] As a further improvement to this utility model, the water pumping device is arranged symmetrically on both sides with the water tank as the center. With this arrangement, since the hand-cranked water pump needs to be manually operated, if it is only set on one side, it will cause a large impact on one side, which is not conducive to the stability of the overall structure. Now, it is symmetrically set on both sides, and the hand-cranking on both sides at the same time has a counter-impact effect, reducing the impact on the overall structure and ensuring the stability of the overall structure.

[0009] As a further improvement to this utility model, the waterwheel is a double-disc structure with the left and right discs arranged side by side. The water outlet pipes of the left and right pumping devices are respectively aligned with the water containers on the left and right discs of the waterwheel, forming a water-circulating, racing structure. With this arrangement, and utilizing the pumping devices, especially hand-cranked water pumps, on both sides, one can simultaneously crank the hand-cranked water pumps on both sides to observe the different rotation speeds of the left and right discs of the waterwheel, creating a left-right racing structure and enhancing the fun of playing with water.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the structure of this utility model is reasonable and compact. By placing a waterwheel in the water tank and using a water pumping device to achieve water circulation in the water tank, the waterwheel keeps running, attracting children to understand the relationship between the waterwheel and water flow. This allows children to understand the phenomenon and principle of waterwheel operation while playing, thus achieving edutainment. Attached Figure Description
