Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to yo-yo components, specifically to a yo-yo with manually controlled lights. Background Technology

[0002] Yo-yos are a type of educational toy that not only improves hand-eye coordination but also enhances thinking and creativity, making them popular with many people. To attract players, yo-yo manufacturers have made various improvements, such as adding lights inside the yo-yo to draw them in.

[0003] Currently, yo-yos on the market have internal circuit boards and LED lights. When the yo-yo is thrown, the centrifugal force generated by the yo-yo's rotation activates the circuit switches on the circuit board, causing the LED lights to illuminate or flash. However, this structure has a flaw:

[0004] 1. Yo-yos only light up when they are thrown out of the water; however, many players hold the yo-yo in their hands and spin it while playing or competing. When the player holds the yo-yo in their hand, it does not light up, which gives the player a great sense of incompleteness.

[0005] 2. The circuit board is directly installed inside the yo-yo. When the player is playing, the yo-yo flies up and down, and especially for novice players, it is easy to fall. Repeated collisions can cause the circuit board to loosen and fall into the yo-yo. The circuit board can easily short-circuit, and the LED will stop lighting up, resulting in a very poor user experience.

[0006] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention provides a yo-yo with manually controllable lights to address the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0008] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] A manually controllable light yo-yo includes a yo-yo body, and circuit board assemblies are respectively provided in the bodies of the two ends of the yo-yo body. The two circuit board assemblies are not connected to each other. The circuit board assembly includes a circuit board and a container box.

[0010] The circuit board is equipped with a fixed control program. A battery and an LED light are located on the front of the circuit board, and a switch button is located in the middle of the back of the circuit board. The circuit board is fixedly clipped into the container box, and the container box is tightly fitted and clipped into the mounting position of the sphere.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, there are two batteries, which are arranged side by side on the circuit board; and four LEDs, which are evenly arranged along the edge of the circuit board.

The box wall has a wide light-transmitting area, and multiple slots are evenly distributed on the inner wall. The circuit board has corresponding slots on its edges, which are engaged and secured in the slots during installation. A white PET sticker is affixed to one end of the container box, which faces the same direction as the front of the circuit board. A PET patch is affixed to the back of the circuit board, which is the side with the switch button. The switch button is hidden under the PET patch, and its light-transmitting area is exposed without obstruction.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the opening edges of the two yo-yo bodies are each provided with a stepped recessed mounting position, and the end face of the connecting inner shaft between the two yo-yo bodies is flush with the bottom edge of the mounting position. After the container box is installed, when the player presses the switch button, the end face of the connecting inner shaft provides central support / balance to the circuit board inside the container box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Circuit board assemblies are respectively provided inside the yo-yo body at both ends.

[0022] See Figures 1-3 A manually controlled yo-yo includes a yo-yo body (100), with circuit board assemblies (20) respectively provided in the spheres (10) at both ends of the yo-yo body (100). The circuit board assembly (20) comprises a circuit board (21) and a container box (22); a fixed control program is provided on the circuit board (21); a battery (211) and an LED light (212) are provided on the front side (21-1) of the circuit board (21); and a switch button (213) is provided in the middle of the back side of the circuit board (21). The circuit board (21) is fixedly clipped inside the container box (22), and the container box (22) is tightly clipped into the mounting position (11) of the ball (10) for fixation. A white PET sticker (23) is pasted on one end face of the container box (22), which is the side of the box body facing the same direction as the front (21-1) of the circuit board (21). A PET patch (24) is pasted on the back (21-2) of the circuit board (21). The switch button is hidden under the PET patch (24), and its light-transmitting area (221) is exposed without obstruction.

[0023] There are two batteries (211), which are arranged side by side on the circuit board (21); there are four LEDs (212), which are evenly arranged on the edge of the circuit board (21).

[0024] The container box (22) is made of transparent material and is a flat hollow cylinder. Its box wall is a light-transmitting area (221) and is relatively wide. Multiple slots (b) are evenly provided on the inner wall. The edge of the circuit board (21) is provided with corresponding slots (a). When the circuit board (21) is installed, its slots (a) are inserted into the slots (b) for fixation.

[0025] The opening edges of the two yo-yo bodies (100) are provided with a full circle of mounting positions (11), and the end face of the connecting inner shaft (12) between the two yo-yo bodies (10) is flush with the lower end face of the mounting position (11); after the container box (22) is installed, the switch button (213) is pressed, and the end face of the connecting inner shaft (12) plays a central support / balance role for the circuit board (21) inside the container box (22).

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Circuit boards are respectively installed inside the yo-yo at both ends of the yo-yo body. These circuit boards are fixedly clipped into a container box. A fixed control program is installed on the circuit boards. A battery and LED lights are located on the front of the circuit boards, and a switch button is located in the center of the back of the circuit boards. The fixed control program has seven colors of light, including red, cyan, yellow, blue, green, purple, and orange. When the user presses the switch button, the fixed control program receives the switch button information, controls the battery to provide power to the LED lights, and controls the LED lights to change color or flash. Currently, in the technology, the circuit board has... The circuit board, which features a fixed control program, multiple light sources, and a switch button, is a mature product on the market. Merchants can directly purchase the finished circuit board. The applicant cleverly applies this mature technology to the yo-yo toy, inserting the circuit board into a container box, which in turn fits snugly into the mounting position of the yo-yo body. When the player uses the yo-yo, simply pressing the switch button will make the LED light illuminate or flash, providing a completely different experience. Furthermore, even if the yo-yo falls or is bumped, the circuit board, secured within the container box, will not loosen or short-circuit, ensuring a long lifespan for the circuit board.

[0027] This utility model allows players to control the LED lights in various ways. In the initial state, the yo-yo lights are off.

[0028] 1. The lights on both ends of the yo-yo can be turned on at the same time: The player can press the button switch on one end of the yo-yo with their thumb, and press the button switch on the other end with their index finger or other finger. At the same time, press the switch button with a little force to make the LEDs on both ends of the yo-yo light up at the same time.

[0029] 2. The light on either end of the sphere can be turned on individually: that is, only the switch button on one end of the sphere is pressed to turn on the LED, and whether the switch button on the other end of the sphere is turned on is determined by the player. The player can choose freely at will.

[0030] The operation process of this utility model; in specific operation:

[0031] 1. When the player presses the switch button once, the fixed control program on the circuit board receives the information and can then control the LED to light up;

[0032] 2. Each time the player presses a button, a single color light will stay on; pressing it again will turn the light off; pressing it again will turn on a different color light, and so on. Players can choose their favorite color to play with.

[0033] 3. If players need the lights to flash, they can press the switch button 7 times in a row, and the LED lights will flash in 7 different colors. To turn them off, press the switch button once more to turn them all off.

[0034] Installation method of this utility model:

[0035] 1. Insert the circuit board into the container box;

[0036] 2. Apply a full-coverage PET sticker to the side of the container box and the circuit board that faces the same direction; then, on the back of the circuit board, the side with the switch button, apply the PET sticker only to the circuit board, leaving the light-transmitting area of ​​the container box exposed and unobstructed.

[0037] 3. Then, insert the container into the mounting positions of the two spheres and tighten them. The side with the PET sticker should face the inside of the sphere, and the side with the PET sticker should face the outside to complete the installation of the circuit board assembly.

[0038] In this invention, the container box is made of a transparent material, such as transparent acrylic. The container box has a wide light-transmitting area, resulting in excellent light transmission. After the circuit board is inserted into the container box, the cooperation of multiple slots and grooves ensures good fixation of the circuit board within the container box. The acrylic container box has slight elasticity, while the yo-yo body is generally made of aluminum alloy or titanium alloy. After the container box is inserted, it fits tightly within the yo-yo's mounting position. This ensures that even if the yo-yo falls or collides, the container box remains securely installed, while also preventing the circuit board from shifting. A full-surface PET sticker is affixed to the same side of the container box and the circuit board. PET plastic has excellent light transparency, electrical insulation, and wear and friction resistance. A full-coverage white PET sticker applied to a container increases light transmission while simultaneously securing the circuit board, increasing its stability. PET patches can also be applied to the circuit board's buttons and switches, concealing them and providing protection. Furthermore, various patterns or company logos can be printed on the PET patches. When the yo-yo spins, the printed designs on the PET patches become even more attractive under the light, drawing the player in.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and the specific embodiments described above are not intended to limit the present utility model. Within the technical concept scope of the present utility model, various modifications and variations are possible, such as setting different numbers of batteries or LEDs. All refinements, modifications, or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the above description are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
