Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medal technology, and in particular to a novel medal. Background Technology
[0002] As a commemorative award, medals not only embody the honor of a competition but also enhance visual appeal and strengthen the brand communication of the event through mechanical structures. Traditional medal designs are typically simple, consisting only of flat patterns and text engravings, lacking operable mechanical devices, thus failing to meet the diverse display needs of athletes and organizers. Therefore, incorporating mechanical structures into medal designs to achieve dynamic displays and interactivity is gradually becoming a trend.
[0003] However, existing displayable medals typically achieve a single rotation or sliding function through simple mechanical linkages. The existing designs suffer from the following shortcomings: First, these medals lack a sense of depth during display, usually only allowing for a single-directional display action, making it difficult to provide a multi-dimensional visual effect; second, the existing designs have poor mechanical stability, easily becoming loose during prolonged wear or storage, affecting the medal's aesthetic appeal. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. The patent proposes a novel medal that enhances its display effect and mechanical stability through a multi-layered structure consisting of a base, rack, spring, and rotating body. This design utilizes the meshing of a rack with low and high gears to create a bidirectional, multi-layered rotating display action. Users operate a sliding key by pushing, causing the rack to move horizontally in a groove, rotating background and promotional rotating bodies of different heights to their display positions. After display, the spring tension causes the rack to move in the opposite direction, restoring the rotating bodies to their hidden positions, achieving a dynamic display effect while avoiding interference and loosening between mechanical components, thus meeting users' needs for high-quality, interactive medals. Therefore, this utility model aims to provide a medal with a multi-layered display structure and high mechanical stability to solve the problems of insufficient layering and easy loosening of existing medals, achieving richer dynamic display effects and meeting users' needs for interactive and high-quality commemorative medals.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A novel medal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base for mounting various components of a device; a rack is disposed in a groove in the base and can move horizontally along the groove; a low gear and a high gear are respectively disposed in the groove of the base and mesh with the rack; one end of a spring is connected to the base and the other end is connected to the rack, providing elastic force for the rack to return to its original position; a cover plate is connected to the base to fix the position of the rack and the spring to ensure stability; a background rotating body is connected to the low gear for background display; a special promotional rotating body is connected to the high gear to display the medal's special elements; and a top cover is fastened to the base to protect the internal components.
[0007] A sliding key, located on the outside of the cover plate, passes through the cover plate and connects to the sliding key mounting post of the rack. The sliding key, connected to the rack's sliding key mounting post, provides operating thrust. Through the thrust of the sliding key, the rack translates within the base's sliding groove, driving the low gear and high gear to rotate, causing the background rotating element and the featured advertising rotating element to rotate above the cover plate for display. When the thrust disappears, the rack, under the spring tension, translates in the opposite direction along the sliding groove, driving the low gear and high gear to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the background rotating element and the featured advertising rotating element to rotate below the cover plate for concealment.
[0008] As an improvement, the rack has teeth on both sides, which can mesh with both the low gear and the high gear at the same time to achieve smooth rotational motion transmission and improve overall stability and accuracy.
[0009] As an improvement, the height of the background rotating body is lower than that of the high gear, thereby avoiding interference with the special promotional rotating body and ensuring smooth rotation without interference;
[0010] As an improvement, a limiting protrusion is provided in the base slide groove to limit the rack and rotating body at the starting position of rotation, preventing the device components from exceeding the predetermined position and ensuring the accuracy of the rotation action.
[0011] As an improvement, a standard fastening protrusion is provided between the base and the top cover to facilitate a tight fastening between the two and enhance the overall structural stability of the device, preventing loosening.
[0012] As an improvement, the top cover is provided with a waist hole, in which the slide key slides, making the stroke of the slide key adjustable to adapt to various display effects and facilitate operation;
[0013] As an improvement, the top surface of the cover plate features an artistic engraving design, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the medal and giving it visual appeal and a unique style.
[0014] As an improvement, the base surface is designed with artistic engraving, which adds unique artistry and recognizability to the medal's appearance, enhancing its commemorative value and artistry;
[0015] As an improvement, the top cover also features artistic engraving, providing a more complete visual unity for the medal and further enhancing its artistic style and commemorative value.
[0016] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages: The interactive cooperation between the sliding key and the rack enables automatic switching of the medal display effect; the rotating body design provides more possibilities for display variations; and the artistic engraving design enhances the medal's aesthetic appeal and artistry. The overall structure is stable and easy to operate. Additional aspects and advantages of this utility model will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the utility model.
